NOVEL NEXT Chapter 56 – This is what it feels like to be pursued. No wonder those beauties in his previous life were so smug
"That won't be a problem..."
Xiao Chen said with a faint smile, looking at Murong Bo and Murong Fu's anxious faces, and Murong Qingxue who was almost tearing her clothes apart.
Although he felt a bit overwhelmed by his own luck with women, Xiao Chen wasn't hypocritical enough to push a beauty away.
So after thinking for a moment, Xiao Chen didn't refuse.
"Thank you, Young Master Xiao..."
Upon hearing Xiao Chen's words, Murong Bo and Murong Fu were overjoyed, and even Murong Qingxue quickly lifted her head.
But as soon as she met Xiao Chen's gaze, she shyly lowered her head again, her heart pounding like a deer caught in headlights.
The young master didn't reject her!
This meant... Young Master Xiao didn't dislike her, and might even have a bit of affection for her.
So, as long as she worked hard and became more outstanding, maybe one day she could be like that red-clad woman, always by Young Master Xiao's side, sharing his burdens.
She might even warm his bed and help him carry on the family line...
Thinking of this, Murong Qingxue's face turned even redder, her body trembling with excitement.
"Let's go."
Seeing Murong Qingxue lower her head and tremble with excitement, Xiao Chen awkwardly rubbed his chin.
After saying these two words, he turned and walked out first.
So this is what it feels like to be pursued. No wonder those beauties in his previous life were so smug.
This feeling...
Is indeed a bit exhilarating!
Of course, this is based on the premise that the other party is a beauty. If it were a burly woman like Sister Hua, he would probably feel very anxious.
"Young Master, wait for me..."
Seeing Xiao Chen walk out first, Murong Qingxue quickly lifted her head.
After glancing at Murong Fu and Murong Bo and receiving their encouraging looks, she quickly followed.
"Indeed, daughters can't be kept..."
Watching the two leave, Murong Fu murmured with a sigh.
But before he could finish his words, he received a slap on the forehead.
"Can't be kept, my foot!"
"Xue meeting Young Master Xiao is a great fortune!"
"Do you want her to stay in the Murong family, crying her eyes out every day?"
Feeling aggrieved after being scolded by his father, Murong Fu raised his head.
Although his current cultivation could easily overpower his father, he didn't dare to act rashly.
"What are you standing there for? Hurry up and follow them!"
Seeing Murong Fu's dumbfounded look, Murong Bo slapped him again, speaking with frustration.
"Heavenly Capital City is hosting an auction in the next few days, and various forces will be arriving."
"Are you really comfortable letting Young Master Xiao and your daughter go out alone? Hurry up and follow them to protect them in secret."
"If some blind fool offends Young Master Xiao, you'll see if I won't hang you up and punish you once I recover my cultivation!"
Hearing Murong Bo's words, Murong Fu finally came to his senses.
This auction would attract many valuable items, even some Heaven Rank items.
The top forces of the Great Qian Dynasty would also send their trusted aides.
Thinking of this, the pressure on the City Lord's Mansion increased, hoping nothing would go wrong in the next few days.
With this thought, Murong Fu responded to Murong Bo and then secretly followed Xiao Chen and Murong Qingxue.
Murong Bo shook his head and returned to the side room.
There were still two days left.
He should be able to refine the Revitalizing Purple Pill and restore his cultivation to the second realm of Mystic Mastery.
By then, with him as the old City Lord, the Murong family's status in Heavenly Capital City would be more secure.
...
On the other side.
After walking for half an hour, Xiao Chen and Murong Qingxue arrived at the Ziyun Commerce Guild.
Along the way, Murong Qingxue was initially a bit reserved, but after seeing the various stalls on the street, her expression changed from nervous to curious and excited.
Seeing buildings different from her childhood memories, she even chatted enthusiastically with Xiao Chen.
Her cheerful demeanor, shedding the shadows of the past, coupled with her stunning face, left many cultivators staring in awe.
Fortunately, no one dared to cause trouble in broad daylight.
So the two smoothly arrived at the Ziyun Commerce Guild.
"Young Master, you're finally back. Elder Yun Shan requests your presence."
As Xiao Chen and Murong Qingxue stepped into the hall, the receptionist who had served them last time walked over excitedly.
"Lead the way..."
Xiao Chen raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. Did Yun Shan have something important to discuss?
Feeling a bit curious, the two of them waited in the VIP room.
"Hahaha, Young Master Xiao, it seems you didn't stay at the Ziyun Commerce Guild last night. Were our accommodations unsatisfactory?"
With a hearty laugh, Yun Shan entered the VIP room.
But upon seeing that the person beside Xiao Chen was not Cai Yan, his expression froze.
"Huh, who is this?"
Seeing Murong Qingxue's unfamiliar yet stunning face, even Yun Shan, despite his age, couldn't help but be amazed and asked in surprise.
This Young Master Xiao was truly fortunate.
Yesterday, he was with a cold and peerless woman in red, and today, he was with an innocent-looking woman in white.
Such beauty and temperament almost rivaled the Ziyun Commerce Guild's own extraordinary young lady.
"Her name is Murong Qingxue..."
Xiao Chen said with a faint smile, revealing Murong Qingxue's name.
"Murong Qingxue... This name sounds familiar... Wait... Is she... Murong Fu's daughter?!"
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Yun Shan was initially stunned, then his pupils contracted sharply, his face showing disbelief.
Murong Qingxue...
Wasn't she rumored to have a face full of red spots and body covered in red hair, looking like an uncivilized monkey?!
How could she now be a stunning beauty comparable to the young lady of the Ziyun Commerce Guild?
Could it be...
In his shock, Yun Shan seemed to realize something, his gaze turning astonished towards Xiao Chen.
"Indeed."
"It was I who cured Miss Murong, and I also obtained a Revitalizing Purple Pill."
Seeing Yun Shan's speculative look, Xiao Chen nodded.
As he spoke, he took out a pill bottle.
"This Revitalizing Purple Pill is the refined product of the Murong family's pill, using my unique secret method."
"Have it auctioned in a few days."
After speaking, Xiao Chen released the pill bottle and calmly sipped his tea.
This was just one of the Revitalizing Purple Pills he had repaired from a fragment.
It hadn't undergone any quality upgrades, so it was only a low-grade seventh-rank pill.
As for the other Revitalizing Purple Pills, he didn't plan to sell them for now.
He did this to avoid arousing suspicion from the Ziyun Commerce Guild, so the other pills would be sold later.
After all, the Murong family only had one Revitalizing Purple Pill, known to be low-grade seventh-rank.
If he suddenly produced a bunch of Revitalizing Purple Pills, it would inevitably raise suspicions.
The other Revitalizing Purple Pills would be sold after he hinted to the Ziyun Commerce Guild and waited for some time.
