📖 Chapter 1028 - Meeting the Little Fatty Again

17 Jul, 2023

This scene made the two female disciples grow even more enthusiastic, and one of them was filled with varying thoughts. Several times, while she was introducing a medicinal pill, she would seemingly inadvertently rub against Wang Baole’s arm with her ample bosom.

“Young Master, this bottle of medicinal liquid is called Springs of Blue Sky. A single drop can swiftly heal soul injuries.

“This medicinal pill is called the Earthmint Pellet, used for nourishing the body. If consumed for long periods of time, it can boost your vitality, and also provides benefits for those who cultivate the fleshly body.” The female disciple picked up a medicinal and placed it in Wang Baole’s hand, subtly brushing her finger against his palm as she did so.

The female cultivator’s actions weren’t conspicuous. Aside from those personally involved, it was almost impossible for others to notice what she was doing. Obviously, she was doing everything on purpose, and she was very experienced in such actions; her face didn’t reveal the slightest hint of an unnatural expression. Her seduction was just right, able to make a person’s heart itch and cause them to spend their money rashly.

The woman wouldn’t normally act like this. Most of the time, she would only resort to these tactics when she encountered young masters with decent backgrounds who hadn’t cultivated very long. According to her judgment, Wang Baole was precisely such a person, so she naturally put some more care into her actions.

Wang Baole blinked. Sensing her actions clearly, he couldn’t help but feel pride and satisfaction rise up in his heart. He automatically ignored any other possible interpretations and simply lamented that his handsome face really brought endless troubles.

‘Ah, I’m just too charming. She can’t help it.’ Wang Baole coughed and forgave the female cultivator’s slightly presumptuous actions, pretending not to notice anything as he let her lead him around.

Meanwhile, Xie Haiyang blinked at the side, becoming even more sure of his previous judgment.

‘This fatty is just a pervert after all. That makes things easy…’

But just as Xie Haiyang’s thoughts turned in a contemptuous direction, Wang Baole suddenly heard a cold snort echo in his mind before Little Missy’s voice rang out.

“Fatty, you look like you’re enjoying this, huh? Why don’t you pull her into your arms and grope around a bit?”

After hearing Little Missy’s voice, Wang Baole suddenly felt a bit guilty. He instinctively shot the female cultivator beside him a cold look, and although he didn’t say anything out loud, he muttered quietly in his heart.

‘How can a vulgar woman like her enter this Wang’s eyes!’

The female cultivator instantly noticed Wang Baole’s cold stare, so she surreptitiously pulled away.

“Please don’t call yourself ‘this Wang’^[1]… also, weren’t you enjoying yourself? Go on, keep going!” Little Missy’s tone seemed a little strange as her voice echoed in Wang Baole’s mind.

‘Ahem, ahem, I, Wang Baole, am a gentleman. How could I let a vulgar woman like this take advantage of me? Little Missy, you’re looking down on me too much!’ Wang Baole lightly replied to Little Missy and continued checking out the various medicinal pills with an indifferent expression.

Of course, Xie Haiyang didn’t know the inside story. All he saw was Wang Baole initially seeming receptive to the female disciple’s advances, then becoming disgusted for seemingly no reason. This made Xie Haiyang extremely puzzled, and he began to question his previous judgment. After careful observation, he really felt that Wang Baole seemed to despise the female cultivator’s actions, whether it be his expressions or behaviors.

However, Xie Haiyang was extremely certain that Wang Baole wasn’t like this before. This 180 degree change caused Xie Haiyang to feel profoundly mystified, and he decided to keep observing. After all, if his judgment was mistaken and he continued using that mistaken judgment to curry favor with Wang Baole, he would end up shooting himself in the foot.

Under Xie Haiyang’s careful observation, Wang Baole walked through the entire first floor of the shop, then the second. Finally, after Xie Haiyang bought him all the pills he wanted, Wang Baole suddenly spoke out before leaving the shop.

“Do you have any miraculous pills here that are helpful for remnant souls?”

This was the first time Wang Baole had explicitly asked for something since entering the store. Xie Haiyang’s spirits lifted, and he immediately arranged for dozens of medicinal pills to be brought over. All of them could nourish remnant souls, and all were of the highest quality.

Wang Baole glanced over them and nodded slightly. Xie Haiyang unhesitatingly purchased all the pills with a wave of his hand, then followed Wang Baole out of the shop. After exiting the shop, they moved on to the next one…

Just like that, as the interstellar market continued on its route, several days passed. During these few days, Xie Haiyang accompanied Wang Baole to visit dozens of different shops. Like the pill shop, most of these shops would immediately close up and service Wang Baole alone, although a few did not.

This kind of treatment made Wang Baole very happy, and the fact that Xie Haiyang was footing the bill for everything made him feel even better. However, he knew that he couldn’t be too greedy and had to restrain himself. Thus, although he went to dozens of shops, he actually didn’t end up making Xie Haiyang buy too much for him.

In the end, although Xie Haiyang had come ready to bleed in order to please Wang Baole, he felt moved by the other party’s generosity. He felt that it was no coincidence that Wang Baole had managed to reach his current status.

Not just anyone could restrain their greed in the current situation. No matter how much Wang Baole wanted, Xie Haiyang would have no choice but to grit his teeth and hand it over. After all, he was the one with a favor to ask.

However, Wang Baole sense of propriety was extremely sharp. There were even several times when Wang Baole stopped Xie Haiyang from buying expensive items for him.

“Brother Haiyang, I understand your feelings, but there’s really no need for this. Money doesn’t grow on trees, and I’m sure there are quite a few people in your Xie Family keeping an eye on you.”

Inside a somewhat out-of-the-way magical treasure shop, owned not by the Xie Family but by another force, Wang Baole spoke sincere words to Xie Haiyang. Even though Xie Haiyang’s business nature had been instilled in him since he was young, he still felt moved when faced with Wang Baole’s words and expression.

In the end, he decided to speak frankly.

“Sixteenth Sect Uncle, it’s true that I’ve called in a few favors and used up some of my lineage’s shares for this trip. However… since I’ve already spent so much, it doesn’t really matter if I spend a little more.” With that, Xie Haiyang signaled the shopkeeper to bring over a red flying sword that Wang Baole had glanced at a few times, buying it on the spot.

This flying sword was quite extraordinary, and attached to it was the soul of a juvenile dragon. It could be considered top-tier among all the magical artifacts in the shop, and its price naturally reflected its quality.

Although this shop wasn’t owned by the Xie Family, it was still located in the Xie Family’s interstellar market. Thus, Xie Haiyang was qualified to buy things on credit here.

Seeing that Xie Haiyang himself didn’t care, Wang Baole gave him a deep look. He was about to say something, but an arrogant voice suddenly rang out from behind them.

“This flying sword isn’t bad. I… huh?” The voice was full of pride in the beginning, but before it finished speaking, it turned into a gasp. Wang Baole and Xie Haiyang turned around to look at its owner.

They immediately saw the horrified face of a little fatty who had just walked into the shop. This little fatty was dressed in luxurious clothes, and his cultivation base was at the early stage of the Planet Realm. Behind him were three old men, making it obvious that the little fatty was a cherished disciple of some great power. However, his eyes were full of terror as he looked at Wang Baole, and when their gazes met, his round body instantly moved several steps backward.

“Hm?” A smile appeared on the corner of Wang Baole’s mouth. The little fatty in front of him was one of the Chosen from the Starfall Realm. Moreover, he was one whom Wang Baole had scammed several times.

“If it isn’t Li’l Fatty! Long time no see, hahaha.” Wang Baole walked over to the little fatty with a wide smile on his face.

“Don’t come over here!” The little fatty shouted loudly. In an instant, the three old men behind him stepped forward with flashing eyes, preventing Wang Baole from getting any closer.

Perhaps because there were Dao Protectors standing in front of him, the little fatty seemed to gain some courage. Calming down from his earlier panic, he glared at Wang Baole.

“My name is Zhou Linfeng, not Li’l Fatty! I don’t care if you’re Xie Dalu or Wang Baole. Don’t go too far!!”

“I see.” Wang Baole blinked and turned to look at Xie Haiyang.

“Haiyang, how about letting Li’l Fatty have this flying sword?” After speaking, Wang Baole turned back to the little fatty and licked his lips.

“You wanted to buy this sword, right?”
