Three girls came out of the Tianyu Building, but they saw Tang Feng sitting on the front of a two-horse carriage, fanning himself with a folding fan and smiling at them.
"Where did the horse carriage come from?" Bao'er ran over and asked.
"Hmph, just a humble horse carriage, can't even buy one with money? Get in!"
Temporarily acting as a charioteer, Tang Feng took the three girls on a tour of the entire Jing'an City. The things in the carriage were getting more and more, Bai Xiaolan shook her head and sighed: "A spendthrift! A spendthrift!"
Tang Feng burst out laughing: "A true hero either kills as easily as cutting grass, or spends money like dirt! What's a few pieces of silver to him?"
The remaining seven-emotion mushrooms from last time were still unused, so Tang Feng naturally went to the wine shop and bought several dozen tanks of fine wine.
After strolling around Jing'an City for almost a day, it was near dusk when Tang Feng turned his horse's head and prepared to return home.
When passing by a shop in the east of the city, a sudden gong drum sound rang out, and then a loud voice came over: "Appreciation of spiritual beasts is on sale now! Fresh and reliable goods, beautiful and cheap prices. Can be given to lovers to win their hearts, can be given to wives to consolidate marital relationships, can be given to children to increase parent-child joy, can be given to elders to regulate physical and mental health. Limited quantity, first come first served, no waiting!"
Tang Feng's expression changed, a spiritual beast? Although Tang Feng also knew that there were spiritual beasts in this world after coming here, he had never seen one before. He stopped the horse carriage and turned his head to look at the three girls: "Do you want me to buy one for you to play with?"
"It's just for appreciation, this spiritual beast doesn't have any attacking power, buying it would be useless, and you'd still need to spend a lot of effort taking care of it, not worth it."
Bao'er and Meng'er didn't mind at all, and hastily nodded: "Okay, okay!"
Tang Feng's foot tapped on the carriage shaft, and with a gentle swing, he got off the horse-drawn vehicle. Smiling, he said, "Watch me go buy you the most beautiful one."
Without stopping, he walked towards the store, and from a distance, Tang Feng saw that above the entrance of the store hung a sign with three large characters: "Ling Shou Hall".
The person who was just beating the gong and shouting has disappeared, probably only shouted once. The gentle breeze blows by, and dust rises in front of the Ling Shou Hall, leaves scatter, cold and quiet, with no one to be seen.
The business of this store doesn't seem to be doing well, and it's even more outrageous that they're saying "limited quantity, first come first served"! Tang Feng muttered to himself.
As soon as this thought arose, the earth suddenly shook violently, and a loud rumbling sound came from all directions, like thousands of troops rushing by and ten thousand horses galloping.
Tang Feng's face suddenly solidified, his expression becoming extremely solemn.
"Be careful, young master!" exclaimed Bao'er from behind.
With a gentle movement of his foot, he soared three zhang high into the air, his posture elegant and refined, his long hair dancing in the wind, handsome to the point of being dazzling.
Just as he jumped up, hundreds of people rushed from all directions to the Ling Shou Hall, the momentum was like thousands of troops and horses crossing a single-plank bridge, rolling up thousands of waves.
These people swarmed to the entrance of the Ling Shou Hall, a burly man with a large waist and a robust build, relying on his physique, pushed open the people blocking the way in front, while squeezing inside, he viciously threatened: "Who dares to come over, I'll smash your brains!"
The group of people behind him were stunned for a moment, and then their fists rained down on the strong man like raindrops. As they beat him, they shouted: "Block my way to buy a spiritual beast? Die!"
The crowd surged forward, and this sturdy fellow fell to the ground with a blue nose and a swollen face, wailing: "Leave one for me!"
Tang Feng landed on the ground, looking down and saying, "Too lacking in quality, don't even know how to line up!" Looking further ahead, one of the doors of the Ling Shou Hall had been squeezed out of shape, with people crowded inside, bustling about. Before long, several people came out from inside, carrying good-looking spirit beasts and smiling as they walked, saying, "After rushing in over a dozen times, we finally managed to grab one!"
Another person chimed in, "Yes, I've also rushed to grab things over twenty times. The Ling Shou Tang only opens once every half month and the goods are scarce, now my daughter will no longer complain that her father is useless."
The last one burst out laughing: "You're all useless, I only robbed five times and succeeded!"
Tang Feng's face changed, and he rushed towards the Ling Shou Hall: "Leave one for me too!"
Three girls peeked out of the carriage, looking around curiously. After a moment, they only saw Tang Feng walking out of the Spiritual Beast Hall, panting slightly, with a cage covered in black cloth in his hand.
"Why did all those who went in before the wind came out shaking their heads and looking disappointed, but the wind actually managed to buy one?" Bao'er asked in puzzlement.
Meng'er smiled sweetly: "Needless to say, Feng Shao is now a nouveau riche, and he must have bought it from someone else with a large sum of silver."
"He can only use silver to attack people now."
Tang Feng panted as he arrived at the horse carriage, his heart still racing with fear. "It's too dangerous, too intense! The business of this Ling Shou Tang is actually so good! It almost got me thinking there was no business to be had, and those people were quick to take advantage, but I, Young Master, didn't disappoint you, I managed to buy one!"
As he spoke, Tang Feng placed the cage in his hand in front of the three women with a treasured gesture.
"What kind of spiritual beast is this?" Bao'er lowered his head and listened for a moment, but only heard some movement sounds coming from inside the cage, without any roars or calls from the spiritual beast.
"It doesn't matter what it is, what matters is that I, Young Master Tang, risked my life to buy this on Knife Mountain and in the Sea of Fire. As they say, 'the gift is light, but the thought is heavy' - that's exactly what this means!" Tang Feng said with a serious face.
"How much did this cost?" Meng continued to ask.
"You're getting to the point." Tang Feng said with a smug face, "Others' spiritual beasts cost at least 50 taels of silver, and some even reach 100 taels, but I, Young Master, got this one for just 10 taels!"
"Why?" asked Bai Xiaolou.
"Maybe I'm just too handsome! The shop owner was embarrassed to charge me so much money."
"You get what you pay for!" Bai Xiaolou sneered, lifting off the black cloth that covered the cage with one hand.
Three women stared at it, and all they saw was a small animal the size of a palm, somewhat resembling a wild fox, locked in the cage. At this moment, the small animal's fur was disheveled and messy, as if it had just been pulled out of the mud, looking extremely ugly. It didn't have any cute or lovely features on its own, and its appearance combined with its hair made it somewhat repulsive.
After a long silence, Bao'er finally said: "Ugly!"
"Ugly!"
"What an ugly freak!"
Tang Feng stroked his chest, his face filled with grief and indignation: "The young master has been hurt by you! This is the one I risked my life to buy back from the midst of thousands of soldiers and horses!"
Meng'er nodded: "I know why others didn't buy it, but you, young master, did. It's because nobody else wanted this one."
"Because nobody wanted it, that's why it only cost ten taels! Indeed, you get what you pay for." Bai Xiaolou smiled complacently.
"So now, who among you is willing to raise it?" Tang Feng's gaze wandered over the three girls.
Meng Er looked up at the sky and said seriously: "Today's weather is not bad, it's quite windy and sunny."
Bao'er also looked up at the sky and echoed: "Yes, yes, the sky is clear for thousands of miles, with not a cloud in sight."
Tang Feng looked at Bai Xiaolan again, and Bai Xiaolan turned his head to one side.
Tang Feng said fiercely: "Since that's the case, don't blame me for being ruthless and merciless. Tonight, I'll get rid of it and kill it to make soup!"
