Fairy, don't try to mess with my filial piety

Many times, when people are unlucky, they hope for a turnaround “what if?” If there is no turnaround, they just accept it as fate and accept it.

"Senior Chu and the Fox Fairy Lady, when do you plan to leave? If you wish to stay in Wenshui County, my humble abode is willing to provide you with food and lodging!"

"I'm leaving today. I just came into the city to inquire about the news of the Western Region escorts."

"Is the trip so urgent? If you two distinguished guests plan to go sightseeing and shopping, I hope Hailan House will cover the expenses. Otherwise, I will feel uneasy!"

Chu Wuji had no interest in shopping, but he thought that after the big fox fairy entered the city, she looked around curiously at the shops on the three streets, so she should be a little interested.

He was short of money before, and he was afraid that Tushan Yourong would take a fancy to some expensive jewelry, but he couldn't afford it, which would be very embarrassing.

He gladly accepted it and said, "Okay, then when we settle the bill today, I will give the name of Shopkeeper Guan."

Manager Guan is very weak now and urgently needs rest, so he cannot accompany you. He took out a jade token and gave it to Chu Wuji, which represents the identity of Hailan House.

In order to avoid encountering those who are blind, when Chu Wuji was paying the bill, those shop owners sent people to Hailan’s House to verify, leaving him and the Fox Fairy Queen waiting there, which would be very disappointing!

By then, Chu Wuji would leave in disappointment, and Guan the shopkeeper would also be ashamed.

"Thank you both for your kindness and giving me this opportunity to express my gratitude! I hope you two can enjoy yourself here before leaving Wenshui County!"

Chapter 87: Attack Speed ​​Attribute Bellyband

Chu Wuji did not stay and got up and left after dinner.

If he didn't leave, Manager Guan would be so frightened that he wouldn't even be able to rest, and would feel uncomfortable all over.

After leaving Hailan's house, Chu Wuji and Tushan Yourong said:

"Fairy Tushan, go browse the shops here and look at the clothes, jewelry, and other things to see if there are any that suit you."

The fox fairy girl deliberately showed a shy expression, covering her face with her slender hands, as if to hide her shyness, and said:

"Why are you suddenly so interested? My dear, you've been too lazy to even look for shoes, and now you're so anxious to track down clues. A month and a half has already flown by, and now you're thinking of going shopping?"

Chu Wuji wanted to say, I feel that you, the big fox fairy, are a little interested in this place, so I suggested going shopping.

But if I say this, it seems that the big fox fairy won't want to go shopping anymore, and it will easily become her who is wasting the "trial period" time.

Chu Wuji still has to take the initiative to invite, and he has to have a "legitimate reason" and a suitable excuse.

He pondered over his excuses and said:

"As for the Western Regions escorts, it's not enough to just ask around. I've already asked Manager Guan to find out. Apart from waiting for follow-up, any other things I do will only serve to comfort myself and yield little benefit.

Besides, Hailan's House might not be the only one with trade routes to the Western Regions; other shops might have them too, and shopping is also a way to gather intelligence."

Tushan Yourong thought it made sense and nodded in approval:

"Okay, then I'll accompany you for a stroll. Hailan Street is just outside. Let's take a look at the clothes here first and give some face to Shopkeeper Guan."

Sure enough, the big fox fairy still has great interest in this city with a thriving clothing industry. This enthusiasm and curiosity were rarely revealed before.

Chu Wuji nodded in agreement. He, the proposer, had unknowingly become the seconder. He said:

"Fairy Tushan has been very thoughtful. If we had gone directly to another shop, perhaps Shopkeeper Guan would have suspected that we were dissatisfied."

Servants were already guarding outside the shop of Hailan's House to prevent any troublemakers from lingering.

After Chu Wuji and Tushan Yourong (in stealth mode) walked out, there were still some idlers and opportunists shouting:

"Please come to my house for a chat. My master admires your celestial bearing and respects your great magical powers, your ability to easily exorcise demons. I have already prepared a welcoming banquet for you!"

"Great Immortal, my family has been having bad luck lately. I think someone has cursed us. Please help me!"

"I keep losing money in business. If I keep losing, I'll be broke. You generously saved Shopkeeper Guan once, so please help me improve my fortune!"

The servants did not just stand there in a daze, but immediately pulled the man away and expelled him, scolding him:

"Get out of here as far as you can! You've ruined the Immortal Master's fun!"

The servants had all seen Chu Wuzhi take action. Although they had not actually seen the magic, they had seen him shoot people from a distance with their own eyes.

They did not dare to be negligent and tried their best to stop those rude people.

But the effect is very general, because this is on a commercial street and it is impossible to treat it as your own home. The road is blocked and people cannot walk around or get close.

The servants could only stop each one they saw, but the fanatical voices never died down, no less than on the day of the final of the competition.

These sounds exploded almost at the same time, and everything was quiet before I walked out of the door.

Chu Wuji couldn't help but look back at the ground, wondering if there was a soundproof barrier.

"Finally I understand why immortal sects live in seclusion and rarely appear in front of mortals. I'm afraid they must be annoyed to death."

It is really not worth it to kill people out of anger.

But if you act too peacefully, these people will lose their sense of propriety and take "a great man is magnanimous and does not bear grudges against a mean person" as a talisman.

Tushan Yourong's tail grew longer and gently wrapped around Chu Wuji, and his figure immediately disappeared from the shouting person's sight.

"Hey! Where's the person? They say they disappear in the blink of an eye, but I haven't blinked yet!"

"It's all your fault. You drove the Immortal away!"

Chu Wuji no longer paid attention to these voices. He walked to the side of a servant and said:

"Tell Shopkeeper Guan that I've gone shopping. Have a good rest and don't worry too much."

The servant was confused. He could only hear the voice but not see the person. He quickly replied "OK" several times and then ran to the inner hall.

In the inner hall,

Shopkeeper Guan sat down for a while, took a nap to recuperate, and began to arrange matters, including the plans mentioned earlier such as building an ancestral hall and doing charity regularly.

If he didn't personally implement it, Manager Guan would be unable to sleep peacefully watching the work being carried out.

The servant came over and reported the situation outside. Manager Guan couldn't help but frown:

"If these fools were to spoil the pleasure of the two distinguished guests and be beaten to death on the ground, the government would think they were unlucky and wouldn't dare to collect their bodies!"

After hearing what Chu Wuji said, Guan was very grateful:

"Senior Chu was worried that I was overthinking it, so he told me that he wouldn't take his anger out on the Hailan Family because of the mediocre people outside, so I didn't have to worry about where I hadn't served him well!"

*

Chu Wuji changed his clothes temporarily and bought a set of "old skin" training clothes to change into. He put on a hat to cover up his conspicuous white hair.

His hair is now dry and white, but some black can be seen at the roots, and the black hair is quietly growing back.

I guess when winter comes, Chu Wu Ji's hair color will return to that of a panda, but only the tips of his hair will be white.

As for the warrior robe with green and white snake sleeves, Tushan Yourong was temporarily wearing it as a coat, and she went out shopping.

After changing clothes, the noisy voices of people seeking wealth and profit disappeared.

The two walked side by side and appeared on the street together, but it was Tushan Yourong who attracted more attention.

Even though she turned her snow-white hair black, her stunningly beautiful face was still eye-catching and naturally charming.

The Fox Fairy raised her red lips and said teasingly:

"Young Master, you should hold my hand. Otherwise, after you've finally managed to avoid those profit-seeking people, you'll be approached by some shameless pervert."

Chu Wuji looked around and found that this was indeed possible. There were already several curious eyes looking at him.

He held the fox girl's hand, which felt soft and boneless, as if the knuckles were soft, but it felt strange to hold it like this, so he asked her to hold his arm instead.

"Why do you want me to hold your hand? Does it make me look like a smaller woman?"

"After I grew taller, my mother and I would go shopping together like this. She would hold my arm. We got used to it."

"..."

Tushan Yourong could see that Chu Wuji was telling the truth, but precisely because it was the truth, she felt even more helpless.

She didn't say much, and just took Chu Wuji's arm and went shopping in the shop.

The two of them first went to the clothing store run by Hailan Home, which had a complete range of products.

There are seven branches of Hailan Home on the entire street, and the clothes they sell are of different styles.

But the Fox Fairy Queen didn't care much about human clothing. The clothes she created with her magic power were extremely beautiful. Chu Wuji couldn't say what the style was, but he could see that it had a bit of the totemic charm of the witch clan.

She would just take out any item she liked and let Chu Wuzhi use the jade token to pay.

This wave of consumption is to reassure the shopkeeper Guan and express his satisfaction. It is just like when you go to the host's house for dinner, it is not enough to just praise the food verbally. You have to actually eat a few more bites so that the host will feel at ease.

Chu Wuji asked curiously, "Fairy Tushan, you can use your magic to create clothes. Doesn't that mean...whenever you find a piece of clothing, you can just conjure it up and wear it?"

"That's right, but it feels like stealing. I disdain to do such a thing. I usually buy it as a token of my appreciation."

In other words, do you buy the original and use it as a rag, and then use magic to transform it into the one you are wearing?

Chu Wuji felt that this might be the necessary means to travel the world in white clothes and white skirts - magical clothes that would never get dirty!

Without this ability, I would have to wash clothes by the stream every night.

Tushan Yourong added:

"But if I come across a robe made of good material, I will still wear it. This one, my young master, is very nice. I like it a little. Are you willing to give it up?"

This robe was sewn by his godmother Bai Sujin, and the two snakes on the sleeves were sewn by his aunt. Just for these two reasons, this dress has a status in Chu Wuji's heart that is worth more than countless treasures, and he would never use it to please other women.

"No, this robe means so much to me that I can't let it go." He refused without hesitation, without any room for negotiation or hesitation.

"Oh, how stingy." Tushan Yourong sighed insincerely, without any sense of loss, and a smile was still hanging on her cherry red lips.

The two moved to Jewelry Street, where the prosperity was even higher.

Jewelry, gold and silver are involved, and their value is extraordinary. Many passers-by cannot afford them, but they will stop and take a look out of curiosity.

Tushan Yourong didn't care much about gold and silver, but was interested in jade and gemstones. She probably felt that collecting those beautiful stones of different qualities gave her a sense of accomplishment.

However, she did not make a big fuss in Hailan's account book, but just picked out a silver hairpin inlaid with snow jade.

Chu Wuji guessed that the origin of this snow jade might make the Fox Fairy Lady feel closer to it, because the price of this hairpin is not too expensive, and it can catch her eye, probably because of other characteristics.

"Don't you want to go shopping again? You only want this silver hairpin?"

"That's enough. I've already bought a hairpin. If I go shopping again, I'll just start comparing and nitpicking, finding faults in my old hairpins, so I can convince myself to buy new ones. So, either I only buy one in one visit, or I'll wait for someone to give it to me~"

If it is a gift from someone else, then you can skip the step of finding fault with it. You can't find fault with it in front of the gifter, right?

"Makes sense."

"Young Master, are you going to pick out a hairpin for me?"

"No, if you do that, Fairy Tushan will be confused about which one to wear, which will make it difficult for you."

Tushan couldn't help but scold Jun with a smile:

"If you were to hang out with those young girls, you'd probably make them cry. Only older women would tolerate you and think you're interesting."

Chu Wuji planned to return the jade token after shopping in the jewelry street, and then set off for the capital.

However, the last shop actually sells bellybands and small clothes!

Chu Wuji even suspected that he had accidentally walked back to Hailan Street, but he was clearly still on Jewelry Street!

"This thing...is it considered jewelry?"

"It's definitely jewelry. It's a small piece of fabric worn underneath your skirt, adorned with two tiny rubies. It dangles back and forth. I don't know what kind of occasion it's for."

The fox girl's tone was ambiguous and she looked at Chu Wuji knowingly, her eyes seemed to be able to draw silk, silently asking him if he wanted to go in and have a look, and try on some clothes.

The small clothes displayed in this shop were probably bought by the children of wealthy families specifically for their concubines. Shaking them while doing things in the bedroom can increase the "attack speed attribute".

Chu Wuji did not hesitate for a moment and shook his head:

"That's not right. When the time comes for Shopkeeper Guan to settle the accounts, if he finds out that I brought the Fox Fairy Lady to a shop selling clothes for concubines, it will have a bad impact."

"There's a cheaper one in the corner, young man, I think you can afford it!" The fox fairy looked hopeful and pitiful.

"Do you really want to buy it, or are you just pretending to buy it?" Chu Wuzhi looked at her uncertainly. Did she like the little gem so much?

"Of course it's fake. I was just teasing the young master!" Tushan Yourong smiled happily.

"..."

After returning the jade token, Chu Wuji left Wenshui County with Tushan Yourong. Before leaving the city, he specifically asked the gate guard about the location of the capital.

Arriving at a remote place outside the city, he once again mounted his big fox mount and headed straight for the capital.
