When Xiao Feng opened the bedroom door and saw the lovely girl outside the door, his eyes lit up.

Perhaps because she was going out on a date with Xiao Feng today, Xiao Xun'er dressed up carefully.

Xiao Xun'er was seen wearing a light green outfit, which, combined with her elegant temperament like a green lotus, made her look even more pure and lovely.

Looking at Xiao Xun'er's cute expression of "come and praise me", Xiao Feng cooperated and exclaimed: "Xun'er, you are so beautiful today."

(* ̄︶ ̄)

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xun'er's pretty lips slightly raised, and then she pouted in dissatisfaction and said, "Brother Feng, what you mean is that Xun'er was not beautiful yesterday?"

"No! What I mean is that Xun'er is more beautiful today than yesterday!"

Xiao Feng took a step forward, took Xiao Xun'er's hand, looked directly into her beautiful eyes, and said in an extremely sincere tone: "Just like my love for Xun'er, it will always be a little more than yesterday and a little less than tomorrow."

Facing Xiao Feng's loving gaze, Xiao Xun'er's pretty face flushed slightly, and she rolled her eyes at him shyly: "Slippery~"

"Little girl, you're still shy."

Xiao Feng secretly laughed in his heart, took Xiao Xun'er's soft little hand, and rushed towards the market town.

Wutan City is located in the territory of the Gama Empire. Although it is a relatively remote city, it is located near the Monster Mountain Range and has many merchants and mercenary groups coming and going, making it particularly lively.

Perhaps because Xiao Feng was by her side, Xiao Xun'er was much more lively than usual. She dragged him around in front of the street stalls, and laughed like a silver bell from time to time.

After accompanying Xiao Xun'er around the city for more than half an hour and buying a bunch of worthless trinkets, the two finally arrived at the market in the southern part of the city.

There are several similar markets in Wutan City, each controlled by one of the three major families in the city. The market where Xiao Feng and his friends are located is naturally the one controlled by the Xiao family.

The captain of the guard team responsible for maintaining order in the market town, upon learning the news that Xiao Feng and Xiao Xun'er were coming to the market town, quickly dispatched several guards who were proficient in the art of stealth to protect their safety in secret.

Given Xiao Feng's status and position, although not many people in Wutan City dared to offend him, there would inevitably be thieves and the like in the market town with a large flow of people.

If some blind guy were to steal something from Xiao Feng and the others and disturb their fun while shopping and having fun, it would be considered as dereliction of duty on the part of the captain of the guard.

As the two continued to go deeper into the market, the goods on the surrounding stalls became more and more precious, and they could see some low-level elixirs and magic cores.

When the two passed by a stall selling jewelry, Xiao Xun'er suddenly stopped, picked up a silver bracelet, and stretched out her fair and delicate wrist to compare it.

The bracelet was silver-white in color and made of precious mithril. In the middle hung a faint blue diamond-shaped magic core that emitted a faint blue light, making the entire bracelet magnificent.

Xiao Xun'er put the bracelet on her left wrist, shook her wrist towards Xiao Feng and said, "Brother Feng, does this bracelet look good on me?"

"nice!"

Xiao Feng nodded affirmatively, then turned to the stall owner and asked, "Boss, how much is this bracelet? I want it."

"You two have really good taste. This mercury spirit chain is an authentic magic crystal jewelry, made of the magic core of the water spirit bird and mithril. It is not only warm in winter and cool in summer, but also has the effect of beautifying the skin if worn for a long time."

The middle-aged stall owner with a square face first sold melons like a rich old lady, then raised a finger and said, "Since this young man really wants it, just give him a thousand gold coins as a token of your appreciation."

"…"

Xiao Feng heard this, his mouth twitched slightly and said: "Do you think I am a fool? The water bird is a common first-level water-attributed magical beast.

The market price of a first-level magic core is roughly between four hundred and four hundred and fifty gold coins.

Although Mithril is a very precious material for refining weapons, the amount of Mithril on this bracelet is pitifully small, and the cost price will not exceed one hundred gold coins at most.

Even if I include the labor cost and the profit you should make, this bracelet is only worth 600 gold coins at most."

"Young Master is really an expert!"

The middle-aged stall owner who was exposed by Xiao Feng was not angry, but smiled and said: "But this is how our business is. If we ask for a high price, the customers can pay it back on the spot.

Since you are also an expert, let's just treat it as making friends. Six hundred gold coins is six hundred gold coins!"

"That's more like it."

Xiao Feng, who had successfully bargained, nodded slightly, took out six hundred gold coins and handed them to the stall owner.

When Xiao Xun'er saw this scene, she didn't think Xiao Feng was stingy, but found it quite interesting.

After all, Xiao Feng always looks like a noble man on weekdays, and it is rare to see him bargaining with others.

Of course, the most important thing is that beauty is in the eyes of the beholder.

In Xiao Xun'er's eyes, Xiao Feng had no shortcomings at all. Even if he was really stingy, he still knew how to live.

Just as Xiao Feng was accompanying Xiao Xun'er shopping, a luxuriously decorated two-horse carriage slowly drove into Wutan City.

"That is..."

Looking at the cloud-like silver sword pattern on the luxurious carriage, the soldiers guarding the city gate could not help but exclaimed in surprise: "The carriage of the Yunlan Sect!"

"Why would someone from the Yunlan Sect come to Wutan City?"

"You haven't forgotten, have you? The third young master of the Xiao family has been engaged to the young master of the Yunlan Sect a long time ago."

"Could it be that the girl on the carriage just now is the legendary Nalan Yanran?"

"The third young master of the Xiao family is so lucky! The patriarchs of the other two families may be unable to sit still."

After the Yunlan Sect's carriage entered Wutan City, it did not go directly to the Xiao family, but stopped in front of the largest inn in the city.

Soon, the news of the arrival of the Yunlan Sect reached the ears of all the major forces in Wutan City.

Everyone in the Xiao family was naturally very happy about this, especially after Xiao Zhan received the visiting card sent by Nalan Yanran, he immediately called the three elders together to discuss how to entertain the distinguished guest tomorrow.

Compared to the joyous Xiao family, the atmosphere in the other two families seemed very dull.

If the marriage between the Xiao family and the Nalan family is successful, even if the Gale family and the Oba family are tied together, they will never be a match for the Xiao family.

At that time, as long as the Nalan family sends a powerful Dou Ling to help, the Xiao family will be able to dominate Wutan City.

Other small families and forces also began to watch quietly, ready to side with the Xiao family at any time.
