Chapter Thirty-Six: Here Comes the Man Who Delivered the Money

Early the next morning, Su Chen was woken up by a knock on the door.

When she opened the door, it was Xiyue, Su Chen asked her what she was doing, and Xiyue said, "Go eat something, I'm hungry when I wake up in the morning." ”

Su Chen was speechless for a while, he had never seen a monk in the God Refining Period eat three meals a day, and the meals did not fall, It stands to reason that after the monk has experienced the Bigu Period, he no longer needs daily diet to maintain his life, but Xiyue is really a wonder.

"Are you really hungry or just want to eat?" Su Chen couldn't help but doubt.

"I don't know. Xiyue also scratched her hair in distress, "It's just that when the hour comes, I really want to eat, what kind of feeling do you mean by 'hungry'?"

Su Chen thought for a moment and explained: "It's just that he is very hungry for food, and he feels that he will die if he doesn't eat quickly, and if he is hungry, he will react, such as his stomach will rumble." ”

Xiyue thought for a while, nodded very affirmatively, and said, "That's right, I'm like this, so I'm really hungry." Speaking of this, she also seemed to feel a little abnormal, and asked, "How can this be? I have never been like this when I was in the Northern Underworld, and I have always been hungry since I came to Kyushu." ”

Su Chen frowned and said, "Did you start after meeting me?"

Xiyue was stunned, pursed her lips and thought for a long time, before she nodded hesitantly and said, "It seems to be." ”

Su Chen wondered, if Xiyue was not wrong, then her need for food and drink was not just out of hobby, this demand was more like the need for food and drink of mortals, it was needed to replenish her life, but as a Holy Clan Phoenix and a monk in the God Refining Period, how could she have this situation?

"Could it be related to rebellion?" Su Chen was still thinking, but Xiyue was already urging him.

"Forget it, let's take you to breakfast first. Su Chen shook his head, he couldn't figure it out for the time being, this could be done after Xiyue returned to the North Underworld, and then ask the seniors of the Northern Underworld for advice.

Long Qingyan also knew about the retreat, and Xiyue already knew about it, so the two didn't call him.

Qingzhou has a wide range of influences, but on the way to Qingzhou, there are a lot of monks passing by, so even the cities on the road are much more prosperous.

Su Chen and Xi Yue had breakfast at a stall outside the inn, it was only two streets away from the inn, when Xi Yue came to Xingcheng yesterday, she found that there was such a place, and she heard that the breakfast here was very good, so she pulled Su Chen here.

"Eh, what do you think the Heavenly Crafts Pavilion will refine for us?" asked Xiyue.

"We'll know when they deliver it. Su Chen replied, "According to our request, that fat man guessed that we were going to Qingzhou, and I guess it won't be ordinary." ”

"It's really strange that they refine things without first telling the guests what they are?" Xiyue muttered with some dissatisfaction, then blew on the soy milk in the bowl and drank it slowly.

"That's the benefit of being famous. Su Chen said with a smile, "Tiangong Pavilion has a long history, based on Kyushu for millions of years without falling, relying on reputation, even if the guests don't know the specific magic weapon, they can rest assured." And when they do this, it can be regarded as a kind of secrecy to avoid being spied on by outsiders. ”

"Then wouldn't it be okay for others to study the magic weapon they refined after they got it?" Xiyue Qi said.

"It's different, the foundation of the Tiangong Pavilion is very terrifying, the legend of their alchemy technique is passed down from an emperor of the Humane Extreme Realm, that level of the law, not just anyone can comprehend. Su Chen shook his head and patiently explained.

After Xiyue got the explanation, she didn't ask any more questions and ate breakfast with peace of mind.

The day of Xingcheng began in all kinds of noise, all kinds of shops, peddlers and pawns began to buy and sell for a day, and the streets were full of shouts and shouts, full of life.

After using it too early, Xiyue was not in a hurry to go back to the inn, anyway, there was time, so she walked around with Su Chen, although she couldn't go to Yanyun City as planned at the earliest, but being able to go to more places was also what Xiyue wanted, because the purpose of her running away from home, in addition to finding two prophesied people, was to travel everywhere.

When they came to the market, the two passed by a stall selling jewelry, the stall owner was a middle-aged woman, and when they saw a man and a woman walking in front of the stall, they immediately greeted: "Girl, here are the best jewelry to see, beautiful and durable, don't miss it when you pass by!"

Xiyue subconsciously turned her head, and her eyes suddenly lit up, because there was indeed something there that attracted her attention, so she pulled Su Chen and came to the jewelry stall.

"Yo, this girl is really beautiful, at first glance she is a young lady from a big family, you can see if there is anything you are satisfied with, just look at it and pick it!" the woman greeted warmly.

Xiyue smiled and picked up a golden hairpin, which was no more than half the size of her palm, and there was no complicated decoration, but the patterns carved on it were very exquisite, like a piece of floating feathers.

Xiyue asked the proprietress "This is made of gold?"

The proprietress replied with a smile: "That's, this is pure gold, and it was made by my family's own hands, there were originally two, and one was given to me." As he spoke, he pointed to his bun, and sure enough, there was a similar golden hairpin.

"It's beautiful. Xi Yue looked at it lovingly, "Your husband is really capable, he has a pair of skillful hands, and he can make such exquisite jewelry." ”

The woman smiled a little shyly: "This is all the ancestral craft of my husband's family, and in his generation, fortunately it has not been lost, and it can still provide for us to support our family." He originally wanted me to keep them, but I was thinking about what kind of business, we have to support our families, and we have to take back some of the money, so I took one out and sold it. ”

"How is this sold?" asked Xiyue.

"Ten taels of silver. The middle-aged woman replied.

Xiyue turned her face to look at Su Chen and said to him, "Give the money." ”

Su Chen sighed and whispered in her ear, "After buying this, we won't have money to stay in the inn." ”

Xiyue's eyes widened, her smile froze, and she asked Su Chen, "Isn't it? We're all poor like this?"

Su Chen persuaded: "These are all things outside the body, don't pursue it too much." ”

Xiyue sighed regretfully, reluctantly put down the golden hairpin, and said to the proprietress: "Alas, although I like this golden hairpin very much, I really can't afford it now." ”

The proprietress changed imperceptibly, and said to Xiyue with a smile: "It's okay, I have a small business, and I don't force it to buy and sell, it's just a pity, this golden hairpin only has such a pair, it seems that you have no chance with the girl, it's a pity." ”

As soon as he said this, Xiyue also felt even more pity, but Su Chen's expression was as usual, this was the best choice in his opinion, after all, he didn't want to be kicked out of the inn because he had no money.

Xiyue was about to leave regretfully, but Su Chen smiled at the stall owner, and just turned around when she heard someone say, "As a man, you are so stingy, are you reluctant to buy jewelry for this girl?"

The two of them looked over curiously following the sound, and saw a son in brocade clothes looking at Su Chen with disdain, this person was quite handsome, shaking a folding fan, and his eyes were a little immodest when he looked at Xiyue, which made Xiyue very uncomfortable.

"What's the matter with you, you have nothing to do when you're full!" it was Xiyue who spoke.

"......" The boy was choked up, but he didn't expect that it was this beauty who was responding to him.

Su Chen was happy and said to Xiyue: "Let's go, let's go shopping again." ”

"Okay. Xiyue naturally grabbed Su Chen's arm and raised her eyebrows at the boy, but she didn't notice Su Chen's stunned look.

The two left, and the brocade-clothed boy looked at Xiyue's back, rolled his eyes, and beckoned to the surroundings, and several people wearing the same clothes gathered over, bowing their heads and waiting for him to command. The brocade boy said: "I'll follow the pair of men and women, and you will accompany you secretly." ”

"Yes. These people said in a low voice, their expressions were indifferent, but the aura contained in them should not be underestimated.

Su Chen and Xiyue were wandering around the street, but they didn't ignore the person who was following them, they just kept quiet and pretended not to see it.

The two turned left and right, intentionally or unintentionally, into a almost uninhabited alleyway.

This is a hundred-step alley, and there are a lot of debris piled up around, Su Chen and Xiyue exchanged glances, and stopped halfway through, Su Chen shouted to the rear: "Come out, I have already found you." ”

After waiting for a while, the boy in brocade slowly walked out and said with a playful smile: "What if you find out, you are just in my bag." At this time, he no longer concealed it, and looked Xiyue up and down greedily, almost wanting to peel off Xiyue with his eyes.

Xiyue said in disgust: "I really hate people like you, I don't know whether to live or die!"

The boy in brocade laughed: "I also like you little pepper, it's hard enough! Come on, slaughter the man, and escort the woman back to the house!"

Silently, four more figures appeared in the alleyway, their expressions were indifferent, and there was no emotion in their eyes when they looked at Su Chen and Xiyue.

"This guy has some identity, and he actually has four dead soldiers from the God Refining Period as guards. Xiyue frowned.

"It seems to be a child of a certain family. Su Chen said, "Aren't we short of money, rob him!"

Xiyue was surprised: "You want to deal with the five of them?"

Su Chen said: "I don't have to deal with five people at the same time, as long as I subdue him." ”

Xiyue nodded and said, "I'm here to help you." ”

After the rapid exchange, the four dead soldiers had already besieged her, Su Chen grabbed Xiyue, the stars flashed under her feet, and in an instant, she was taken out of the encirclement and came to the roof of the house next to her.

The four of them each held a weapon, each of which was different, and Su Chen blocked in front of Xiyue, waving his hand and striking out four sword qi to attack the four of them. However, the four dead soldiers shouted in unison, and the sound wave shattered the sword qi, and even shocked Su Chen, making Su Chen's body shake and look awe-inspiring.

These four people are not only independent individuals, but also tacitly like one person, and the offensive launched is also very fierce, Su Chen has a plan in his heart, he has already summoned the black sword, and took the initiative to kill the four people, controlling the battlefield on the ground, so as not to affect Xiyue.

Xi Yue watched from the roof, and also paid attention to the movement of the brocade-clothed boy, who didn't look at Su Chen at all, but kept staring at Xi Yue, obviously thinking that Xi Yue was already his plaything. Xiyue was not afraid, and looked at him coldly, with a look of disdain.

On the ground, Su Chen's one-on-four fight was very fierce, but in the face of the four dead soldiers who had a tacit understanding like one person, and they were both in the refining period, Su Chen felt that no matter how good his combat strength was, he also felt that he was struggling, and soon an negligence hit his body and smashed into the house on the side of the road, fortunately, it should be abandoned here, and there was no one inside.

"These four people are really tough to deal with. Su Chen sighed, the white mangs on his body disappeared, safe and sound, with the innate sword gang to protect his body, he was naturally not afraid of being beaten.

Before he could think about it, a knife qi slashed in, Su Chen hurriedly turned sideways, avoiding the knife qi, and the next moment a palm print struck, he flipped it again, and the oncoming knife qi was again, Su Chen had to turn over again to dodge, at this time he was getting closer and closer to the place where the brocade boy was. The four dead soldiers struck one blow after another, these are four martial arts cultivators, all of them are martial arts, and they are very powerful, the house where Su Chen is located has been demolished, Xiyue has already avoided it, and it is also closer to the boy in brocade.

However, the brocade boy frowned and stayed away from the battlefield.

Su Chen estimated that the distance was almost over, and when the attack of the dead man came again, he no longer dodged, and directly opened the innate sword gang, blocking the blow of the dead man with the black sword soul.

"There!" all four rushed in at the same time.

However, Su Chen smiled, when the four of them came in, he had already cast a star to disappear and disappeared in an instant, which made the four dead soldiers startled, and their expressions changed for the first time, and when they looked back, Su Chen was already close to the master.

The brocade boy was shocked, he still underestimated Su Chen, he was also a monk, but unfortunately he was still in the Jindan period, and Su Chen in the face of the god refining period had no power to fight back at all.

Su Chen's speed is fast enough, and the dead soldiers are not slow, they have already chased out, and when they saw that they were about to catch up with Su Chen again, Xiyue made a move, and a phantom image of an ice phoenix appeared behind her.

The boy in brocade was even more flustered, screaming and throwing out one magic weapon after another to block Su Chen, but they were all smashed by Su Chen's sword, and he was soon held hostage by Su Chen.

"Which family are you?" Xiyue asked him with a smile as she descended from the sky.

"I, I, I...... Let me go!" As soon as the boy in brocade saw that there was a door, he immediately said, "I am the son of the lord of Xingcheng, if you let me go, I promise not to trouble you!"

"Che, I thought your family was amazing. Xiyue pursed her lips and said disdainfully, "It's okay to let you go, take the money!"

The boy in brocade was stunned for a moment, and snorted, "What, what? You want money?"

Xi Yue said as a matter of course: "That's, didn't you hear, this girl is very poor now, and she is short of money to spend." ”

The boy in brocade choked again, and at this moment the ice shattered, and the four dead men escaped. Xiyue didn't make a dead move, but only temporarily restrained them, buying time for Su Chen to capture the brocade boy, and naturally there was no need to do it again with this kid in his hands.

Seeing that the master was being held hostage, the four dead soldiers did not dare to act rashly.

"But I have no money on me, why don't you let me go back first, and then give it with both hands when I get the money?" said the brocade boy with a smile.

"When I'm stupid!" Xiyue slapped him, and with a click, the left arm of the brocade-clothed boy hung down softly, and then a pig-like scream resounded in the sky.

"You tap, don't cripple people. Su Chen grinned and said, Xiyue's innate strange power, he has learned countless times.

"Uh, sorry, sorry, I accidentally confiscated it. Xiyue apologized insincerely, with a smile on her face, "We are not greedy, we can hand over as much as you have, and we will clear both of them." ”

The boy in brocade burst into tears, and under the hostage of the two, he took out a money bag from the left sleeve with his intact right hand, Xiyue took it unceremoniously, and continued to ask if he still had it, the boy in brocade took a handful of snot and tears, and trembled and took out a piece of jade pendant from his arms, which was in good condition, and was a good thing.

Xiyue accepted it with satisfaction, and said to him: "Okay, let your people take you to heal your hands, this palace also warns you, if you dare to hold a grudge and take revenge, hum!" As she spoke, she put her hand on his right shoulder, pressed it gently, and raised her eyebrows at him.

The boy in brocade trembled, and when he looked at Xiyue again, it was like looking at a demon, his legs were weak, and he kept vowing, saying that he would never dare to take revenge.

"Get out!" Xi Yue pushed him towards his subordinates, and said at the same time, "I'm not afraid to tell you that this palace is from the Northern Underworld City, and if you want to deal with your little Xingcheng City Lord, there is a way." ”

The boy in brocade and his four dead soldiers were shocked at the same time, and left quickly, joking, who in the world doesn't know about the Northern Underworld? Even the state religion and the royal family of the Xia Kingdom did not dare to take the initiative to provoke the ancient royal family that was majestic in the north of Shenzhou, and the young man in brocade couldn't help but rejoice, if he really angered Xiyue and caused the Northern Underworld to come to ask for the guilt, he would only be pushed out to atone for the crime, after all, the protection of the royal family is the consensus of the whole Shenzhou, and no one can provoke anyone from the royal family.

It's just that he broke his hand and was robbed, and he can only consider himself unlucky.

After getting a windfall, Xiyue was very happy, and happily pulled Su Chen to the jewelry stall before, and the proprietress saw that the man and woman were back again, and felt that there was a play, so she smiled skillfully and asked, "Does the girl need anything?"

"Is that golden hairpin still there?" asked Xiyue.

"Here's it!" the proprietress agreed, while taking out the previous golden hairpin from her arms, "I think girl, you have a fate with this golden hairpin, I didn't want to sell it after you just left, so I put it away, I didn't expect it to really wait for you back." ”

Xiyue smiled like a flower, and said to the proprietress, "I bought it." ”

"Okay, I'll wrap it up for you. The proprietress also smiled, wrapped the golden hairpin with a handkerchief, handed it to Xiyue, and then took the money from Xiyue.

During the whole process, Su Chen was slandering, how could this be fate, it was obvious that the proprietress saw the two of them running back again, and quietly picked up the golden hairpin first, and when Xiyue asked, she pushed the boat down the river to sell the golden hairpin, this statement came casually, this proprietress is really good at doing business.

However, Su Chen didn't intend to expose her, nor did he stop Xiyue from spending money, he could see that Xiyue really liked this golden hairpin, or she wouldn't have come to buy it as soon as she had money, and it would be good to be happy to buy something she liked.

"You help me put it on!" Xiyue suddenly said to Su Chen, took out the golden hairpin and handed it to Su Chen.

"Ah, good...... Good. Su Chen suddenly felt embarrassed, and took the golden hairpin crampedly, Xiyue bowed her head slightly, and Su Chen put the golden hairpin between her green silk.

"Is it pretty?" Xiyue asked him with a smile.

"Well, it's good-looking. Su Chen scratched his face and nodded and said.

"Let's go. Xiyue happily took his hand, said hello to the proprietress and left briskly. She didn't notice that Su Chen's face was almost red to the base of his neck, he had never been so cramped and uneasy, and at the moment when Xiyue just lowered his head, his heartbeat suddenly jumped.

"Heart, heartbeat feeling?" Su Chen was a little dizzy.
