Love and hatred are often blind. - Mongolian proverb.

  *********************************************************

  "With your permission, esteemed mentor and Your Highness, we will take our leave." Liu Zhenpeng bowed politely to Cui Peishan and Wang Zigong: "To deal with the terrifying magical beasts in the Southern Cross Star Forest, I'm going to go purchase some equipment. You two carry on with what you're doing."

  Liu Zhen felt that Richard's eyes were always turning towards Helen, which made him quite uncomfortable.

  "Excellent, I once served as a guard knight for the Lord Governor of Wysteria for some time, so I'm quite familiar with this place. I wonder if I have the honor to accompany the esteemed Miss Helen on a stroll around Wysteria City?" The prince's gaze was filled with deep affection as he looked at Helen.

  What you fear most will come upon you, this is also what Liu Zhenyong worries about the most.

  Damn it, a love rival! Liu Zhen was secretly sighing in his heart.

  "This Easter egg is a gift I gave to the beautiful Miss Helen as a meeting gift!" The prince swept his golden curly hair, and presented the Easter egg in front of Helen.

  Helen was at a loss for what to do, and it wasn't suitable for her to either respond or not respond. The helpless little fox looked to Liu Zhen with pleading eyes.

  "If all of Prince's gifts are to be refused, wouldn't that be too impolite?" Liu Zhen said with a nod.

  Old Liu was overjoyed, haha, originally prepared to take Avril's crystal crown to exchange for money, now saved, this Easter egg is shining with pearls and treasures, it must be worth a lot of money.

  "It's my honor." The prince said with a smile as he saw Helen accept his Easter egg.

  "Your Highness, it's better to obey than to pay respects. Why don't you take us to experience the customs and culture of Weisserde Pont?" Liu Zhen said with a sly smile on his face.

  The pandas next to Pantang immediately smelled a familiar smell, which was the smell of bamboo shoots.

  Watching the crowd leave from the temple steps, Cui Peishan let out a faint sigh.

  The streets of Wetherston were bustling, the surrounding buildings full of the usual goblin roughness, but there were also many human buildings mixed in, with a finer and more delicate touch.

  On the side of the bustling streets, many short and dirty beggars from Bhutan crouched on the bluestone pavement.

  Prince Richard brought Liu to the most prosperous commercial street in the main city where human merchants gathered, and the prosperity here made the prince believe that he could definitely make this country bumpkin who had never seen the world before feel ashamed.

  Golden Plaza, weapon shops, Tree House Bar, and all sorts of stores with exotic flavors made everyone exclaim in surprise, Wisteria is indeed Wisteria.

  To the prince's surprise, the face of this pig-like man who was offering sacrifices had an expression that was not at all out of the ordinary. This discovery made the prince, who had been expecting to see a glimmer of envy and discomposure in his eyes, feel somewhat disappointed.

  But it must be admitted that compared to Liu Zhenyuan's vast ignorance, Richard Prince's knowledge can only be described as profound.

  As a Templar Knight, it is evident that Richard's martial skills must be far superior to those of the Mongol warriors, but his eloquence and knowledge are also apparently not inferior to his martial skills.

  Prince Richard was elegant and eloquent, and not only Helen was attracted to him, but also Qingyu, Evie and the pandas were completely captivated by his conversation, listening intently as he explained some interesting anecdotes.

  Liu Zhen was not embarrassed and almost went over to listen together.

  Prince Li talked about his research on clothing, then moved on to martial arts and discussed professional knowledge of ritual musical instruments. He also shared some interesting anecdotes and interspersed many witty jokes, making everyone laugh so hard they were doubled over.

  Liu Zhen was left alone in the back, like a drag oil bottle.

  Life is... I couldn't help but feel a thousand emotions...

  Liu Zhenhong stroked his own buttocks, and couldn't help but feel a little lost in thought. He thought to himself that only this kid was worthy of him, and hadn't dragged him down.

  Before he could finish the thought, Prince Richard pulled out a copper coin from his ornate purse and tossed it to the street vendor selling incense, who smiled and handed him a package of incense with both hands.

  Although the prince did not reveal his identity, his noble quality as thick as tulips and the emblem of the Knights Templar were enough to put him in a higher position.

  Prince Richard shook the package of fragrant fruit on Liu Zhen's shoulder, and the little thing "whooshed" onto the prince's shoulder, picked up the fruit and started eating it eagerly, shaking its big ears while biting, with a flattering smile on its small face.

  Obis Laqi! Fake army! Traitor! Liu Zhen was almost knocked out.

  The streets were lined with shops, and the bustling streets suddenly swept up a bleak wind, blowing Liu Da Guanren's desolation to infinity.

  The prince continued to talk about his experience of participating in the gladiatorial games anonymously, winning the annual Golden Crown that year, against a powerful Bull Tribe rhinoceros warrior...

  One after another, bursts of astonishment kept ringing out. The prince's unusual experiences made Liu, who was following behind him, feel a pang of jealousy.

  The prince's generosity benefited everyone greatly. Along the way, Ail and Qingyu, Hailun had already picked up a lot of beautiful trinkets and cosmetics in their hands. The pandas were holding a bunch of "Durian Honey" fruit, laughing with their eyes narrowed into slits. The prince's elegant demeanor allowed him to gain everyone's favor without spending much copper coins.

  This guy is too stingy. Liu Zhen saw that he hadn't even entered a large store, yet he had made this group of people so happy, and it was really both depressing and admirable.

  The mermaid's happy expression made Liu Zhen feel extremely depressed, is the sea clan really that miserable in the sea? Holding a hair clip and being happy like that. And that "Durian Honey" fruit, Liu Zhen felt that thing was good for smashing people, one smash and it would be full of stars, all with thorns, more vicious than a brick. Can't understand what the pandas are happy about, each holding one in their arms, not afraid of being poked.

  It's strange to say, but the prince buys things for everyone except Liu Zhenlei, it's obviously intentional.

  This made Liu even more determined to make a big move, he was waiting for an appropriate location, and then take down the prince once and for all.

  Guo Guo, this little thing still has a bit of conscience, took its spoils of war and jumped back onto Liu Zhen's shoulder, dividing it with Liu Zhen in half.

  Guo Guo eats the kernel of the fragrant nutmeg, Liu Zhenhong helps peel the shell.

  The fragrant and delicious pine nuts go to Guo Guo, the hard-to-chew shells go to Liu Zhenshen, a very fair one person gets half.

  "Miss Helen, this ribbon is very nice, it would be noble to use it to tie up your hair." The prince stopped in front of a large store and said, looking at the red ribbon hanging outside. On the opposite corner was a weapon workshop, where a group of extraordinary customers walked over, and the sound of bellows and hammering on the anvil immediately became much smaller.

  "This ribbon is obviously a product of the Far Eastern silk continent, and even this ribbon is too luxurious." Helen smiled and politely declined the prince's kindness.

  "Don't worry, I have enough money to buy a ribbon for a beautiful lady. My father is very strict with me financially, so you can rest assured that my salary is sufficient to pay for this ribbon." The prince's casual words revealed that he was not the kind of prodigal son who would recklessly spend money just because of his noble birth. His language skills were truly impressive.

  Liu Zhen was truly impressed with this prince in his heart, this guy wanted to be his love rival, apart from fighting he estimated that he could beat him, but in other aspects there wasn't much else where he was stronger than him.

  "Thank you for your kind intentions, Prince. This hair tie was given to me by Richard and I have no intention of replacing it with another one. To me, this is my treasure." Helen gently stroked the nylon stocking strip in her red hair, turned around and gave Liu a faint smile.

  It's hard to put into words how shocked Liu is right now.

  Liu Zhenhong's face was calm and composed with a slight smile, but in fact his heart was already filled with great joy.

  Too much face! Life, oh life, Liu Zhen is overwhelmed with countless emotions.

  Jingyu also stared at Liu Zhen, with a rare vinegar intention flickering in her eyes. Aiyue was even more direct, glaring at him with an angry face, her chest heaving violently.

  "Hey, I was too busy! Forgot to give you guys!" Liu Zhen took out a pair of worn-out socks, tore one apart and handed each person a piece.

  Jade and Evie's faces finally cleared up a bit.

  "Help us put it on." Jingyu said coldly.

  Liu Zhenhong was serving the two beauties while stealing glances at Richard's expression, his eyes like a general sizing up a defeated captive.

  The prince's facial muscles twitched in pain, very subtly.

  "Come on, it's rare for His Highness to be so generous. Helen, let's go in and pick out a silk handkerchief. The young prince is wealthy, and buying one handkerchief is nothing to him - he could even buy the whole store as a gift for us if he wanted to." Liu Zhensheng took Helen's arm and winked at her.

  "Hehe...... That's for the best, after all..." Prince Richard also forced out a stiff smile: "The hair tie ribbon needs to be changed too."

  Haha... Liu Zhenhong laughed as he pulled Helen into the store.

  There's more to this than meets the eye, you little scoundrel! Just wait and see what's in store for you. Liu Zhen decided in his heart that he would definitely make Wang Zi pay dearly.

  A group of people had no choice but to follow Liu Zhen into this store called "The Silk Road" which was full of the flavor of the silk continent.

  Liu Zhenhong finally let out the pent-up bamboo emotions, loudly calling out to the store owner - a stout human with a wine nose, wholesale goods were taken down from the shelves.

  "The tea from the Far East, fifty gold coins per pound. Boiled with milk or goat's milk, it's a drink that can't be beat." The human boss looked at this thug-like Pigg respectfully, if not for the noble knight standing behind him with many attendants, he was about to call the city guards.

  "Ah, Helen drank a beauty and rejuvenating drink, and gained 50 pounds!"

  "Look, the tobacco from Far East, paired with a silver pipe, is the ultimate enjoyment for the nobles of Dolotte after meals. Fifty gold coins per pound of tobacco, and although the pipes are our imitations, they are absolutely indistinguishable from those in Far East, each one gold coin." The boss smiled and beckoned his apprentices to come and help.

  "Haha, I'm going to die!" Liu Zhen was greedily smelling the fragrance of the tobacco leaves, his two hands were full and overflowing with them, tears streaming down his face.

  "Want some?" The human boss looked at this Pigg, who was like a thug, with pity. This expensive tobacco leaf, which was dry and brittle, had been crushed quite a bit after being seized.

  "How much?" Liu Zhenhuan straightened up, today if this prince didn't give him money, he was prepared to buy it anyway, even if he had to knock off a golden arm to pay the bill.

  "I have around a hundred pounds of inventory." The human boss sniffed his own brandy nose, and the fat on his face jiggled.

  "Helen took out a beauty and skincare set, I'll take it all!" Liu was shocked and borrowed the Telego skin to raise a big flag: "Roll it up for me like this..."

  Liu Zhenheng made a demonstration for his boss, rolling tobacco leaves into cigar shapes.

  "I understand, I have the most skilled workers, seal it with the best fish glue for you, don't worry!" The boss was overjoyed. Now those scattered tobacco leaves in the warehouse can be packaged together and sold to that foolish Pigou."

  "When can it be completed?" Liu Zhen asked.

  "What time do you need?" The human boss rubbed his nose excitedly.

  "The sooner the better!" Liu Zhen said: "Tomorrow I have to rush back to Bok Village."

  Originally a rural local tyrant! The human boss nodded and bowed while secretly gloating.

  "Isn't it too expensive? Boss..." Helen walked forward, gently pinched the tobacco, "This batch of tobacco seems to have been affected by moisture during transportation, you see, there are some black spots here..."

  "Are you... Fox?" The boss looked like he had seen a ghost, his mouth agape, and cold sweat streaming down his face.

  "Of course." The little fox proudly lifted its fluffy big tail.

  The human boss looked at this thug-like Pig with a "see-a-ghost" expression, wondering how this guy knew so many big shots?

  "What's wrong with you?" Liu Zhen looked at the stunned boss, somewhat puzzled.

  "A fixed price, twenty gold coins for tea leaves and twenty gold coins for tobacco." The human boss let out a long sigh and said, "Since I've run into a Fox Spirit, there's nothing more to say."

  "Obis Laqi!" Liu Zhen was shocked and almost jumped up, himself originally also being taken as a big sheep.

  "This is just about right." The little fox smiled sweetly with satisfaction.

  Prince Richard smiled awkwardly, his fingers almost convulsively clutching the wallet made of crocodile skin.
