“I’ll go to the city tomorrow and do some shopping, and then we’ll do it.” Xiao Jingting said.
Hearing what Xiao Jingting said, Xu Muan naturally had no opinion and replied, “All right.”
The next day, Xu Muan looked at the things bought by Xiao Jingting, speechless.
“You’re back. I’ve bought you a lot of things. Come and have a look.” Xiao Jingting was full of excitement as he faced Xu Muan.
“Look at these shoes. They are called Wind Boots and can double the speed. These clothes are third-level robes that can offset 50% of the attack power. This is internal armor, which can protect key parts, and this bead, if you throw them out, they will explode. Unfortunately, they are disposable items and will be gone once used. I also bought some attack talismans. Each costs seven taels of silver. It’s so damn expensive…”
In his two lifetimes, Xiao Jingting exceptionally valued his life, and although he coveted Green Cloud Grass that could enhance his strength, he valued his own life even more.
“How much money did you spend?!” Xu Muan asked Xiao Jingting who bought two sets of things. One for Xu Muan that was laid on the bed and his own set was already put on. Xiao Jingting also bought himself a pair of green bamboo swords.
Xiao Jingting smiled awkwardly and said, “A total of 140 taels of silver.”
Xu Muan was stunned for a moment. After the spiritual plants from midieum-level fields were sold, they earned more than 300 taels of silver. Xiao Jingting gave him 100 taels of silver and Xu Muan thought that Xiao Jingting would spend the rest of silver for a period of time since he had more than 200 taels of silver, however, Xiao Jingting spent more than 130 taels of silver in one go. During this period, Xiao Jingting also spent a lot of money on long-term workers and if they went on like this, 200 taels of silver would not be enough to spend at all.
Xu Muan secretly said to himself: Xiao Jingting has changed a lot recently, but his habit of lavish spending has not changed! However it is still better for Xiao Jingting to buy practical things rather than spending it on eating, drinking, whoring and gambling. Although he tried his best to comfort himself, Xu Muan couldn’t help feeling pain.
“Well, I was born to be useful, and even if I run out of money, I will start all over again. Try them!” Seeing Xu Muan in pain, Xiao Jingting comforted him.
Xu Muan nodded and said, “All right!”
The next day, Xiao Xiaofan and Xiao Xiaodong were told to take good care of their house as Xiao Jingting walked towards the mountains with Xu Muan.
“Master Xiao, going to the fields?!”
“Master Xiao, next time you’re looking for someone to farm, remember to look for the one in my house.”
“Master Xiao, you really look good in this outfit!”
“Master Xiao, is it your newly bought sword? It suits you well. ”
“…”
Xu Muan tilted his head and looked at Xiao Jingting, saying: “You have become a popular man now.”
Xiao Jingting laughed and said, “Let’s go.”
When Xu Muan and Xiao Jingting reached the wilderness, they unexpectedly found a snake and eagle fighting. Seeing this, Xu Muan and Xiao Jingting were stunned for a moment and quickly hid themselves.
Humans and demonic beasts were natural enemies, and when demonic beasts encountered people in the wild, those fighting monsters could easily work together to deal with the humans first.
“I miscalculated. Green Cloud Grass has already started to emit its fragrance.” It was just that the fragrance was still light.
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “It is fine, the wilderness is unpredictable.”
The giant snake and the eagle fought a fierce battle.
A small snake fell down from the top of the tree, startling Xiao Jingting, which immediately attracted the attention of two fighting demonic beasts.
“I’ll distract them and you destroy Green cloud grass.” Xu Muan made a quick decision and jumped from under the tree, attacking two demonic beasts when he was still in the air. Attracting them to chase after him.
Although he was worried about Xu Muan’s safety, Xiao Jingting did not dare to give up on the opportunity Xu Muan had secured for him. He quickly jumped down the tree and threw Green Cloud Grass into the jade pendant space.
A roar of fierce eagle rang out. Xiao Jingting was shocked, since he did not expect that demonic beast would return so quickly.
It turned out that after the giant eagle was led away by Xu Muan, it suddenly noticed that the scent of the Green Cloud Grass had disappeared so it left the giant snake and Xu Muan and ran back. When the giant snake saw the eagle turn back, he didn’t bother to pay attention to Xu Muan and also turned back.
When Xu Muan saw the giant eagle and snake run back, he could only turn back as well.
“Run.” Xu Muan shouted.
Xiao Jingting quickly ran away, only hating that his parents hadn’t given him an additional pair of legs.
Seeing Green Cloud Grass disappear, the angry giant eagle chased after Xiao Jingting, swinging its sharp claws towards his back.
Xu Muan shot three arrows toward the giant eagle; one aimed at the throat and the others at its wings.
Two of the three arrows failed but one hit the giant eagle’s wing. Xu Muan sleeve arrows were so sharp that they pierced through the wing, making the giant eagle’s flight very unstable.
Xiao Jingting didn’t have time to celebrate since the python had already rushed towards him. Xiao Jingting immediately made a decision and threw out the black beads, which exploded, shattering a few scales on top of the python’s head.
Xiao Jingting looked at the python, which was still showing its sharp teeth and waving its claws, and he cursed the treacherous businessman who sold him these beads in mind.
A sleeve arrow shot towards the demonic python, making it scream immediately.
Xiao Jingting excitedly took out his stack of talismans and smashed them at the demonic python.
Taking advantage of the python’s dizziness, he hit with his two swords at the demonic python’s wound.
The giant eagle in the sky, seeing the miserable situation of the demonic python flew away gloomily.
Xu Muan took back the sleeve arrows he shot out. There were six arrows in this set and within a certain distance, the sleeve would sense the sleeve arrow and make them return automatically.
Xiao Jingting looked at the dead python in shock and touched his own chest.
“Are you alright?” Xu Muan asked as he walked toward Xiao Jingting.
Xiao Jingting shook his head and said, “It’s all right. Are you okay? What’s the matter with you? You look like you’re not in a good mood!”
“The arrow just now hit the wing of the flying eagle, and this eagle took one of my sleeve arrows away.” Xu Muan was a little regretful. A set of sleeve arrows could play an important role. If one of them was missing, it could be much worse. The sleeve arrow was the first precious gift given to him by Xiao Jingting, so Xu Muan actually cherished it very much.
“It is alright. In the future, I’ll buy you a better one.” Xiao Jingting did not care about it.
Xu Muan suppressed the sense of loss in his heart, he nodded and said, “Pack up and let’s go.”
Xiao Jingting nodded and said, “Okay!”
Xiao Jingting murmured, “One talisman costs seven taels of silver, and now five of them have been used. Twelve taels of silver for one black bead. This is a big loss.” To beat this demonic python, Xiao Jingting spent 47 taels of silver. This demonic python was blown up and tattered, selling it would earn them no more than 20 taels of silver. If Xiao Jingting was just hunting, it would have been a big loss.
Xu Muan smiled and said, “As long as we’re not hurt, we can always earn more silver.”
Xu Muan privately felt that Xiao Jingting fighting quality was too poor, moreover, he could not cope with the situation on the spot and he seemed to be afraid of snakes. Talismans were expensive and many people only used them to save their own lives, but Xiao Jingting used them like they were worthless. It was such a waste. Xu Muan was afraid to speak these words to Xiao Jingting so he just thought about it in his heart.
“Am I acting too badly?” Xiao Jingting asked, his accuracy seemed to be too poor, and if that was not true, he would not have wasted so much silver.
Xu Muan laughed and said, “After all, you are still a novice! All beginners are like this. When I first started hunting demonic beasts, I was also at a loss. A first grade beast could frighten me to death.”
Xiao Jingting and Xu Muan packed the body of the python before leaving the jungle.
Although Xiao Jingting chose a secluded road, they still met many people. Xiao Jingting was now a popular figure in the village and he couldn’t keep a low profile even even if he wanted to.
“Master Xiao, you are really amazing. You killed such a big snake.”
“Master Xiao, you’re amazing! Look at this snake, it had no power to fight you back!”
“Master Xiao, you are really capable! You can hunt as well as farm.”
“Master Xiao, a snake of this size may sell for more than 20 taels of silver. You can really make a lot of money now!”
“…”
When Xiao Jingting was praised by villagers, his face flushed with shame. His combat effectiveness was really not strong and if it wasn’t for the fact that he was well prepared, he would have been already in the python’s stomach.
The news that Xiao Jingting had killed a large python spread quickly, causing the villagers’ evaluation of Xiao Jingting to rise to another level.
Xiao Jingting went back and made a big meal of peppered python meat. Xu Muan had never eaten such delicious python’s meat and carelessly ate till his belly became rounded.
The python’s meat was a little tough so Xiao Xiaofan and Xiao Xiaodong ate very slowly. When Xiao Xiaofan saw Xu Muan eating so fast he anxiously scratched his cheek, “Daddy, you need to eat slower, wait for me!”
Xu Muan turned his head to look at Xiao Xiaofan’s sorrowful look, then looked at Xiao Jingting seemingly smiling face and blushed.
Xiao Xiaodong glared at Xiao Xiaofan and said, “Eat your food, you talk too much.”
“Hurry, just eat, it’s a blessing to be able to eat!” Xiao Jingting said as he gave Xu Muan another few pieces of meat, making Xu Muan face even redder.
“Master Xiao, there’s a letter for you.” As the Xiao family ate their meal, the messenger’s voice rang out, rescuing the embarrassed Xu Muan.
Xu Muan walked out the door and paid the delivery fee and as he took the letter from the messenger’s hand. He opened it and began to read.
“Who sent this letter?” Xiao Jingting asked.
“It’s from the steward of the Xiao family, named Xiao Ping.”
The letter came from Xiao Ping, three years ago, Xiao Ping was an odd-job man in the Xiao family. At that time Xiao Ping’s son was ill and needed a grade-three grass to save his life. The first-grade grass was everywhere, but it was not easy to cultivate it to the third grade. Xiao Ping was in a low position at that time and had no choice but to turn to Xu Muan for help.
Xu Muan had the title of Xiao Jingting wife at that time but had no real power at all. He couldn’t really help Xiao Ping, but he still thought of a way and it worked.
There was a first-grade field in Xiao Jingting’s courtyard, which was planted with a lot of exotic flowers and plants that were of little or no use. They were under the care of a fourth level spiritual planting master on a regular basis. Xu Muan secretly planted the first-grade ground grass into this flower bed.
Ground grass was no different from ordinary grass and no one found or took it seriously for a while.
With the nourishment of first-grade spiritual field, and the fourth level spirit planting master’s unintentional care, the ground grass was indeed cultivated to a third-grade level.
Xiao Ping was later promoted by the head of the Xiao family and then promoted step by step, but he never forgot Xu Muan’s kindness. Xu Muan identity was special and Xiao Ping had never revealed his relationship with Xu Muan in front of people so only a few people knew they were actually on good terms.
“What does he say in the letter?” Xiao Jingting asked curiously.
Xu Muan looked sullen as he said, “Something happened to your second brother.”
Xiao Jingting was suddenly alarmed. The original body owner’s second brother Xiao Jinfeng had three attributes of metal, fire, and earth, although he has some attributes suitable for farming, his earth qualifications were very low and not valued by the Xiao family. In Xiao Jingting impression, the bigger the family was, the more they valued their children. The children with strong wood attributes would be given priority.
Xiao Jinfeng was a very progressive person, completely different from the original body owner. But the treatment Xiao Jingting got was still much better than Xiao Jinfeng in the Xiao family. However, Xiao Jinfeng was at level four while Xiao Jingting was only at level three.
Three years ago, Xiao Jinfeng joined a mercenary team and spent his time with them. In his impression, the original body owner looked down on his second brother because of his mediocre qualifications. Xiao Jinfeng on the other hand, hated the original body owner, who was an uneducated scum, making the relationship between the two brothers very rigid.
“What happened to my second brother?” Xiao Jingting asked.
“He robbed Zhou family’s young master Zhou Kangqi of his prey and injured someone. He was expelled from the mercenary team. After returning to the Xiao family, he did not want to repent and attempted to rape Feng Xueer, the wife of his cousin Xiao Muhong. Then he was also expelled from the family.” Xu Muan frowned.
“Bullshit.” Xiao Jingting said angrily.
Please report us if you find any errors so we can fix it asap!
“I’ll go to the city tomorrow and do some shopping, and then we’ll do it.” Xiao Jingting said.
Hearing what Xiao Jingting said, Xu Muan naturally had no opinion and replied, “All right.”

A set of sleeve arrows could play an important role. If one of them was missing, it could be much worse. The sleeve arrow was the first precious gift given to him by Xiao Jingting, so Xu Muan actually cherished it very much.It is alright. In the future, I'll buy you a better one. Xiao Jingting did not care about it.Xu Muan suppressed the sense of loss in his heart, he nodded and said, Pack up and let's go.Xiao Jingting nodded and said, Okay!Xiao Jingting murmured, One talisman costs seven taels of silver, and now five of them have been used. Twelve taels of silver for one black bead. This is a big loss. To beat this demonic python, Xiao Jingting spent 47 taels of silver. This demonic python was blown up and tattered, selling it would earn them no more than 20 taels of silver. If Xiao Jingting was just hunting, it would have been a big loss.Xu Muan smiled and said, As long as we're not hurt, we can always earn more silver.Xu Muan privately felt that Xiao Jingting fighting quality was too poor, moreover, he could not cope with the situation on the spot and he seemed to be afraid of snakes. Talismans were expensive and many people only used them to save their own lives, but Xiao Jingting used them like they were worthless. It was such a waste. Xu Muan was afraid to speak these words to Xiao Jingting so he just thought about it in his heart.Am I acting too badly? Xiao Jingting asked, his accuracy seemed to be too poor, and if that was not true, he would not have wasted so much silver.Xu Muan laughed and said, After all, you are still a novice! All beginners are like this. When I first started hunting demonic beasts, I was also at a loss. A first grade beast could frighten me to death.Xiao Jingting and Xu Muan packed the body of the python before leaving the jungle.Although Xiao Jingting chose a secluded road, they still met many people. Xiao Jingting was now a popular figure in the village and he couldn't keep a low profile even even if he wanted to.Master Xiao, you are really amazing. You killed such a big snake.Master Xiao, you're amazing! Look at this snake, it had no power to fight you back!Master Xiao, you are really capable! You can hunt as well as farm.Master Xiao, a snake of this size may sell for more than 20 taels of silver. You can really make a lot of money now!When Xiao Jingting was praised by villagers, his face flushed with shame. His combat effectiveness was really not strong and if it wasn't for the fact that he was well prepared, he would have been already in the python's stomach.The news that Xiao Jingting had killed a large python spread quickly, causing the villagers' evaluation of Xiao Jingting to rise to another level.Xiao Jingting went back and made a big meal of peppered python meat. Xu Muan had never eaten such delicious python's meat and carelessly ate till his belly became rounded.The python's meat was a little tough so Xiao Xiaofan and Xiao Xiaodong ate very slowly. When Xiao Xiaofan saw Xu Muan eating so fast he anxiously scratched his cheek, Daddy, you need to eat slower, wait for me!Xu Muan turned his head to look at Xiao Xiaofan's sorrowful look, then looked at Xiao Jingting seemingly smiling face and blushed.Xiao Xiaodong glared at Xiao Xiaofan and said, Eat your food, you talk too much.Hurry, just eat, it's a blessing to be able to eat! Xiao Jingting said as he gave Xu Muan another few pieces of meat, making Xu Muan face even redder.Master Xiao, there's a letter for you. As the Xiao family ate their meal, the messenger's voice rang out, rescuing the embarrassed Xu Muan.Xu Muan walked out the door and paid the delivery fee and as he took the letter from the messenger's hand. He opened it and began to read.Who sent this letter? Xiao Jingting asked.It's from the steward of the Xiao family, named Xiao Ping.The letter came from Xiao Ping, three years ago, Xiao Ping was an odd-job man in the Xiao family. At that time Xiao Ping's son was ill and needed a grade-three grass to save his life. The first-grade grass was everywhere, but it was not easy to cultivate it to the third grade. Xiao Ping was in a low position at that time and had no choice but to turn to Xu Muan for help.Xu Muan had the title of Xiao Jingting wife at that time but had no real power at all. He couldn't really help Xiao Ping, but he still thought of a way and it worked.There was a first-grade field in Xiao Jingting's courtyard, which was planted with a lot of exotic flowers and plants that were of little or no use. They were under the care of a fourth level spiritual planting master on a regular basis. Xu Muan secretly planted the first-grade ground grass into this flower bed.Ground grass was no different from ordinary grass and no one found or took it seriously for a while.With the nourishment of first-grade spiritual field, and the fourth level spirit planting master's unintentional care, the ground grass was indeed cultivated to a third-grade level.Xiao Ping was later promoted by the head of the Xiao family and then promoted step by step, but he never forgot Xu Muan's kindness. Xu Muan identity was special and Xiao Ping had never revealed his relationship with Xu Muan in front of people so only a few people knew they were actually on good terms.What does he say in the letter? Xiao Jingting asked curiously.Xu Muan looked sullen as he said, Something happened to your second brother.Xiao Jingting was suddenly alarmed. The original body owner's second brother Xiao Jinfeng had three attributes of metal, fire, and earth, although he has some attributes suitable for farming, his earth qualifications were very low and not valued by the Xiao family. In Xiao Jingting impression, the bigger the family was, the more they valued their children. The children with strong wood attributes would be given priority.Xiao Jinfeng was a very progressive person, completely different from the original body owner. But the treatment Xiao Jingting got was still much better than Xiao Jinfeng in the Xiao family. However, Xiao Jinfeng was at level four while Xiao Jingting was only at level three.Three years ago, Xiao Jinfeng joined a mercenary team and spent his time with them. In his impression, the original body owner looked down on his second brother because of his mediocre qualifications. Xiao Jinfeng on the other hand, hated the original body owner, who was an uneducated scum, making the relationship between the two brothers very rigid.What happened to my second brother? Xiao Jingting asked.He robbed Zhou family's young master Zhou Kangqi of his prey and injured someone. He was expelled from the mercenary team. After returning to the Xiao family, he did not want to repent and attempted to rape Feng Xueer, the wife of his cousin Xiao Muhong. Then he was also expelled from the family. Xu Muan frowned.Bullshit. Xiao Jingting said angrily.
