Chapter 46: He Wanted to Start a Harem
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Liu Yuan and Ning Xiangrong followed the hall Master of the Law Enforcement Hall, Zhong Ling, to see the dock Lord of the Water Moon Dock. Ma Shu, who had just arrived, went to the Law Enforcement Hall.
As one of the important witnesses, he still needed to cooperate with some finishing work.
In fact, it was mainly Yue Zong’s people who were stirring up trouble. They kept harassing Ma Shu, trying to ‘glean’ something from him. They should have tried both coercion and temptation.
But how could Ma Shu say that?
An Immortal cultivation sect is like a spy war. When there’s internal strife, they’re all very powerful. When something happens, they only know how to shirk responsibility. No wonder Rongrong is so disdainful of her own sect.
While Liu Yuan was criticizing him in his heart, Zhong Ling had already opened the door of a room at the top of the pavilion and stood respectfully at the side. “Young Miss, Young Master, this way, please.”
Ning Xiangrong nodded and pulled Liu Yuan into the door.
Liu Yuan could not help but look at the hand in his arm. Ning Xiangrong was holding it tightly.
Was this really alright?
The Water Moon Dock’s Dock Master, Ning Tingshan, was a first-class daughter fanatic, and he treated Ning Xiangrong like a pearl in his palm.
Now, he was the one who had won her heart.
But from Ning Xiangrong’s previous tone, her father did not seem to care much about this, and even seemed to agree to it.
Liu Yuan began to suspect if this was a treacherous plot.
Ning Xiangrong noticed his hesitation and leaned over, chuckling. “Don’t worry, my father is a man of his word. He has already promised that he won’t make things difficult for you. You even dared to steal my clothes when I was bathing. Why are you still afraid of my father?”
“Cough, cough cough!”
A heavy and deliberate cough suddenly came, interrupting Ning Xiangrong’s words.
The two of them looked up and saw a thin middle-aged man in a light green robe walking out from behind. He lifted the front of his clothes and sat on the chair. There was a trace of embarrassment and depression on his face.
Behind him was a skinny old man with a walking stick.
Ning Xiangrong let go of Liu Yuan and said to the middle-aged man, “Father.”
She appeared polite on the surface, but she secretly poked Liu Yuan. There was a hint of slyness hidden in her eyes that were not looking sideways.
Liu Yuan instantly realized that Ning Xiangrong had done it on purpose.
She hinted that her innocence had been handed over to Liu Yuan, who had stolen her clothes, and so on.
Ning Tingshan’s face darkened. He could only sulk in his stomach. But when he saw his own daughter spare no effort to protect an outsider, he felt like killing a pig to vent his anger.
All the old fathers in the world would be equally disgruntled when they saw their little precious cabbage being eaten by a pig.
“Greetings, Dock Master Ning, I am Liu Junxuan.” Liu Yuan cupped his hands.
This was the first time he was meeting the girl’s parents.
Liu Yuan was a little nervous and seemed a little reserved. He looked down and out of the corner of his eye at his hands that were clasped together.
Wait a minute!
Liu Yuan was stunned and looked at his hand.
‘Meet her parents? F*ck, he was meeting her parents! I f*cking forgot about the first meeting gift!’
According to tradition, even if one could not give something too expensive when meeting the girl’s parents, one should at least give something that the parents liked.
From what Liu Yuan knew in his previous life, it was always right to give the father-in-law wine, but for the mother-in-law, he should give her jewelry.
Speaking of which, in the world of cultivation, it should be giving some cultivation techniques, treasures, magical artifacts, medicinal pills, and so on.
However, he had come to her house empty-handed, and to marry someone else’s daughter at that. If he were to say it out, he would probably die on the spot.
Liu Yuan thought about it as he cupped his hands. He could not help but slow down, looking very calm.
He wanted to start a harem… But in fact, he did not even bring a meeting gift for his first meeting with parents.
What was he supposed to do?
Liu Yuan began to rummage through his storage bag, but he could not find anything!
He had snatched this storage bag from Yue Longzhang, and he himself had turned it upside down a few days ago, so it would be strange if there was anything inside.
Student Liu deeply realized that he was just a pauper.
Should he go and increase the number of his assets?
Speaking of which, the group of people from Bi Luo Mansion was a good target. Their identities could not be exposed, so no one would investigate them even if they died.
The people of Bi Luo Mansion only paid attention to whether there was a betrayal. As for the death of the members, if they died because of a mission, then it would be a worthy death.
Moreover, they were all rich, and the rewards for their missions were often unimaginable.
It just so happened that Ding Liu and Lady Wan’s side were about to be exposed soon. Instead of helping them hide, it was better to lure the people from Bi Luo Mansion over, kill them on the spot, and strip them of their equipment.
However, there were also risks… If they did not handle it well, he would be punished by Bi Luo Mansion.
His thoughts flowed, scattered, and then gathered. Liu Yuan straightened his back and took out an experience scroll from his storage bag!
That’s right! Double experience scroll!
The double exp scroll that only existed in the novice village shop was the most familiar item to players. However, from the reactions of the two people from Fusang Sea, the effect of these scrolls was definitely stronger than what Liu Yuan had imagined!
It was to the extent that they were willing to do anything.
As for the Golden Crow True Yang, Liu Yuan would never use it as a gift. However, the experience scrolls were different. Xie Qian’s calligraphy and paintings were something that Liu Yuan could take whenever he pleased.
He could have as many as he wanted, and his heart did not ache at all.
If Xie Qian knew that his calligraphy and painting were being used to squander like this, he would either be angry or helpless.
“Cough, this is Junior’s first time visiting you. Unfortunately, I do not have anything with me, so I only have a piece of calligraphy and painting to give to Dock Master as a token of my appreciation.” Liu Yuan walked forward and handed over the painting in his hand.
But before he could walk up, the old man next to him spoke first in a gloomy voice, “Calligraphy and painting? Don’t tell me you still think this is Chiyu Villa? Junior, or do you think that Miss Ning is not worth her reputation and can be married with some mortal things as betrothal gifts?”
Oh, another pig-hearted, ruthless person?
Liu Yuan looked at the ordinary scroll in his hand.
Although it looked like a shabby item, it was not a reason to belittle the exp scroll!
This experience scroll can be exchanged for a Golden Crow True Yang. The Golden Crow is a divine beast, after all, and it’s more valuable than you, old man.
Moreover, the last sentence was obviously criticizing Liu Yuan for being short-sighted and not caring about Ning Xiangrong. If Ning Xiangrong’s favorability was not full, even if it was at the level of a pledge of undying love, this sentence would have reduced the favorability by at least 10%!
What a girl cared about the most was… whether the person she cared about, cared about her or not!
Liu Yuan’s anger rose immediately. Damn it, this old man was obviously up to no good by saying such vicious words.
Moreover, he did not have any impression of such an NPC in Water Moon Dock. Even Zou Zishi left some impression on him, but this old guy did not. It was clear that this guy was the background of the background.
This guy is really pissing me off. I’m going to scold him.
Liu Yuan turned the scroll around and put it back in his hand. He smiled and said, “May I ask who you are, Old Sir?”
