Chapter 40 The Fourth Prince
On the wide road, Ling Chen and Xiao Muyu were both riding on dark horses. Behind them, Xu Ruoyan was riding a fast horse and quickly caught up.
"I thought you weren't coming."
Ling Chen looked at Xu Ruoyan in surprise. He didn't expect that this young lady would be so patient today. She actually followed him under such circumstances.
"I'm afraid it would be inconvenient for you guys to travel alone. And I also want to buy some things, so I'll go with you." Xu Ruoyan deliberately looked away and said lightly.
Hearing this, Ling Chen almost fell off his horse, and then he laughed dryly, "Mu Yu and I have known each other since childhood, you worry too much. But since you are here, let's go together."
Ling Chen couldn't just chase her back at this time. Unfortunately, this girl was a proud and arrogant woman. If he offended her at this time, she might go crazy.
The three of them rode their horses at full speed, galloping towards Wucheng.
…
The market town of Wucheng was extremely prosperous because it had the protection of the black market, and one could buy all kinds of strange and exotic things here.
There are dozens of streets crowded with cars and people. Among them is a street that specializes in selling all kinds of antiques and treasures. This street is a place often visited by warriors.
Ling Chen and his two companions came to this street. Because of the two beauties, they were very conspicuous on the street. From time to time, they would attract some attention, and people would linger on the two women.
There were many and varied things in this market, but not many of them were valuable. Ling Chen only picked up some daily elixirs and some hidden weapons for self-defense, and then walked deeper into the market.
The further out you go in the market, the lower the quality of the things sold there. The higher-end goods are all in the depths of the market.
Among the two women, Xiao Muyu also bought some spare ammunition, while Xu Ruoyan just looked around and peeped along the way, and was repeatedly attracted by some strange little gadgets.
Following Ling Chen around, the three of them slowly entered the depths of the market. The items sold in the depths of the market were generally much more valuable than those sold outside, so the warriors who could come here to buy were considered to have some strength in the Kingdom of Wind.
The markets here are much more formal than the previous ones. Each market looks magnificent and not accessible to ordinary people.
Treasure Pavilion.
The three of them chose a huge shop and walked in.
"This place is indeed different from other places. Maybe there is something I want here."
Ling Chen looked around. The things sold here were not ordinary. Perhaps, he could buy some unexpected good things.
After he got the treasure of General Tianfu, he now has plenty of money and has no financial pressure at all.
"Ling Chen, your cultivation has reached the peak of the eighth level. Now you probably need some spiritual materials or elixirs to break through the realm."
Xiao Muyu suddenly turned his head and said.
"That's right."
Ling Chen nodded. The other party was right. He really needed some rare spiritual materials or elixirs to break through.
"Sir, you are now at the eighth level of cultivation. There are many treasures that can help you cultivate. There is a red fruit for sale over there. I believe you will be satisfied."
The maid next to them seemed to have heard the conversation between the two, and immediately spoke with a smile.
"There are actually red fruits for sale?"
Ling Chen was also surprised to hear this. Things .
Ling Chen only knew that there must be Red Fruit in the treasure house of Shenyi Sect, but he didn't expect that there would be Red Fruit with clearly marked prices in the shops on this black market.
Under the guidance of the maid, Ling Chen came to a counter, where there was a bright red round fruit, emitting an enticing aroma.
The price tag for this fruit is thirty thousand taels of gold.
"I want this red fruit."
Ling Chen looked at the maid, "Do you have any more red fruits? I want them all."
"I'm sorry, young man. You should know what the Zhu fruit is. This kind of thing is not put on the shelves from time to time. This Zhu fruit is put here because there is no auction recently." The maid said apologetically.
"Do you have any Xu Ling Dan for sale?" Ling Chen raised his head and asked.
"No."
The maid shook her head. "Things like the Void Spirit Pill only appear at large auctions. We don't have them here."
"Okay. I don't have anything else to do."
Ling Chen waved his hand. He had no intention of buying the Xu Ling Pill here. After all, in the Tian Yuan Continent, money was not everything. It depended on opportunity.
"One red fruit is worth thirty thousand taels of gold. I didn't realize you're so rich."
Xu Ruoyan walked over and looked at Ling Chen in surprise.
Thirty thousand taels of gold is not a small amount. Young boys and girls like them mostly have their money given by their parents, so how could they have so much gold?
"Gold is gold after all. It is a possession outside of one's body. Its value can only be realized when it is converted into resources ."
Ling Chen did not give a direct answer. He couldn't possibly tell Xu Ruoyan that he was worth millions of taels of gold and was rich enough to rival a country.
"This gourd of Yunling Pills is exactly what I need, but the price is a bit too expensive. " Xiao Muyu looked at the Yunling Pills in front of him, hesitated for a long time, and finally shook his head.
"How much more?"
Ling Chen saw the price tag of the Soul-Enriching Pill, which was 10,000 taels of gold. For him in the past, it was indeed a sky-high price. Even for Xiao Muyu, it would be difficult to come up with so much money at once.
"About two thousand taels."
Xiao Muyu hesitated for a moment, but still said it.
"I have two thousand taels here, which should be enough to solve your urgent problem."
Ling Chen took out a gold note worth two thousand taels and handed it to Xiao Muyu.
"Thank you, I will return it to you later." A look of gratitude appeared on Xiao Muyu's pretty face.
"No need." Ling Chen shook his head. He was not a stingy person. Xiao Muyu had helped him before, so he could still help with such a small favor.
Seeing this scene, Xu Ruoyan's eyes also turned, and then she came to a clean counter, stopped, stretched out her fair and delicate wrist, and picked up a light blue necklace. The material of the necklace was extraordinary, and it seemed that some ice essence was added, making people feel cool to the touch, and instantly won Xu Ruoyan's favor.
"Lingchen, this necklace is very pretty." Xu Ruoyan turned around and looked at Lingchen, and there was undoubtedly some indirect meaning in her words.
"It's just a useless thing with nothing to show for it."
However, Ling Chen only glanced at it, then retracted his gaze and said lightly.
"you!"
Xu Ruoyan was a little angry and threw the necklace back. This guy really didn't understand women's minds at all. But the next moment, her mood became a little conflicted. She never took the initiative to ask anyone to buy something for her. Why did she suddenly have this idea at this time?
"Beauty, I bought this necklace for you!"
Xu Ruoyan frowned slightly and looked in the direction of the voice, only to see a group of people rushing over. In the crowd, a young man in luxurious clothes was surrounded like the moon surrounded by stars.
The young man was about twenty years old, and was quite handsome, but his face was a little pale. His eyes were fixed with a burning gaze on the graceful and beautiful girl not far away, and there was undisguised admiration in his eyes.
"Who are you?"
Xu Ruoyan frowned. She had never seen this person before.
"I am the fourth prince of the country of the lower wind, Ying Wuqing. May I know your name, young lady?"
Stared at by the girl's clear eyes, the handsome young man, who had been surrounded by beauties for years, began to breathe faster, and his usual eloquence seemed to have lost its effect at this moment.
"It turns out to be the Fourth Prince. If you are alright, please move aside. I have something else to do."
Looking at the young man whose face was flushed, Xu Ruoyan finally spoke. The girl's every frown and smile revealed a suffocating charm, which made Ying Wuqing's pale face suddenly have a somewhat sick expression.
"Haha, girl, this necklace is a gift for meeting you." Ying Wuqing took out the necklace that was worth ten thousand gold coins. This action surprised some passers-by. Giving such an expensive gift to a stranger, anyone could see that the Fourth Prince probably had other intentions.
"Thank you for your kindness, sir. But I don't want this thing anymore. You should give it to someone else." Xu Ruoyan looked indifferent. Even if Ling Chen changed his mind and wanted to give the necklace to her, she would not take it anymore, let alone Ying Wuqing.
"In that case, I won't force you. I'm free right now, if you're interested, why don't we go for a walk together?" He took a deep breath and a smile appeared on Ying Wuqing's face, bright and gentle. This smile, combined with his identity and appearance, helped him win the hearts of beautiful women several times.
"Sorry, not interested."
Xu Ruoyan's answer was straightforward. She had seen this kind of person many times. He was full of alcohol and sex, which was unpleasant.
The fourth prince Ying Wuqing wanted to get closer to Xu Ruoyan and say something, but was stopped by a figure. It was Ling Chen. "She has already said that she is not interested. Don't you understand what I am saying?"
"Who are you?" After being interrupted by Ling Chen, Ying Wuqing's face darkened. Someone actually dared to meddle in his business.
"who I am?"
Ling Chen smiled coldly, then took out the necklace from the counter, moved closer to Xu Ruoyan's body, and put it on her with his own hands.
"What are you doing..."
Keeping this posture, Xu Ruoyan's pretty face also showed a blush. After Ling Chen put on the necklace, she took two steps back and kept a distance.
However, her voice was as soft as a mosquito, and no one except Ling Chen could hear clearly what she said.
"I'm sure you know who I am to her now." Ling Chen said indifferently.
"Haha, this is really rude of me."
Ying Wuqing looked a little embarrassed, "This necklace is my apology to you. I'll pay for it."
"No need." Ling Chen turned his head and smiled at Xu Ruoyan. "I was planning to give this necklace to my fiancée. Please don't bother with it."
When he heard the word "fiancée", a fire of jealousy burned in Ying Wuqing's chest, but he still maintained a smile on the surface, forcibly suppressing the anger in his heart. Then he waved his hand, squeezed through the crowd and left with his men.
"Your Highness, are we just going to give in like this? This doesn't seem to be your style." Just as Ying Wuqing and the others walked a distance away, an attendant couldn't help but ask.
"Coward? When have I ever been cowardly?"
A hint of coldness flashed across Ying Wuqing's eyes. "Check for me! Check the origins of these people, especially the guy in white. I want to see what kind of background these three people have to dare to be so disrespectful to me."
His face was extremely gloomy. If he found out that Ling Chen was the real one, then the latter would be dead. As for the two women, he wanted to get them. If he, Ying Wuqing, set his eyes on something, he would never let it fly out of his palm.
