At this moment, Su Mei had changed into a pink dress. Her long black hair was draped over her shoulders, and she had a big bow in her hair. With her sweet face, this outfit made her look fresh and utterly beautiful.
"What's wrong, baby? We were only apart for a short while, and you already miss me?" Looking at the freshly dressed Su Mei, Chu Feng couldn't help but tease her.
"Call me 'baby' again, and I'll tear your mouth apart, believe me!" Su Mei gritted her teeth, her sweet face instantly turning ferocious.
But to Chu Feng, Su Mei was even cuter like this. He chuckled and said, "Why can't I call you baby? I'm your sweetheart!"
"You bastard!"
Su Mei's jade-white hand grabbed Chu Feng's arm. Her two fingers twisted together like a pincer. Chu Feng's face contorted in pain, and he opened his mouth wide, letting out a howl that echoed through the inn: "Aaaaaaaaaah!"
A moment later, the two of them appeared on the streets of the Ancient Wasteland City.
It turned out that many experts had gathered here. Seeing a business opportunity, while waiting for news about the tomb, they had brought out their rare treasures to sell.
When Su Mei found out, her playful nature got the better of her, and she dragged Chu Feng out to see.
The two of them now walked along the ancient road. A simple farm boy like Chu Feng, with a beautiful girl like Su Mei by his side, naturally drew a lot of envious and jealous looks.
But Chu Feng clearly didn't know how good he had it. Looking at the bruise on his arm, he said indignantly, "You wicked girl, you're way too harsh. You pinched me black and blue!"
"Hmph, see if you ever dare to take advantage of me again." Su Mei pouted triumphantly and began looking around happily. As she spoke, she grabbed Chu Feng's hand and ran toward a street stall.
The stall was filled with jewelry for girls. The materials were unique, and there was a dazzling array of colors and styles. Su Mei was deeply attracted and crouched in front of the stall, carefully selecting items.
This greatly delighted the old woman running the stall, who energetically started introducing her wares to Su Mei. Looking at the old woman's sly grin, Chu Feng gave her one word: a swindler!
Bored, Chu Feng swept his gaze to the other side and noticed an old man lying not too far away.
This old man was unusually filthy. His hair looked like it hadn't been washed for days, matted into clumps.
His face was covered in grime. His clothes were full of patches stacked on patches. He had a cloth pouch slung over his shoulder, bulging with this and that. One pant leg was long, the other short. He wore a pair of tattered shoes, with his toes sticking out the front and his heels out the back.
He didn't run his stall like others, actively soliciting customers. Instead, he just lay there, legs crossed high in the air, acting like a big shot, not even sparing a glance at the passersby.
Even though the old man wasn't serious about business, the pile of books in front of him attracted Chu Feng's attention.
Actually, the books looked completely ordinary at first glance. They were worn and tattered, covered in a layer of dust so thick you couldn't even make out the titles.
However, Chu Feng, who possessed Mental Power, discovered that within this pile of tattered books, there was one that contained a strange fluctuation.
"Old man, how much is this book?" Chu Feng walked over and asked.
The old man didn't even lift his head. He just raised a finger at Chu Feng, making the sign of a "one".
"One copper coin?" Chu Feng asked tentatively.
"Bah! One copper coin, do you think I'm a beggar?" But upon hearing Chu Feng's words, the old man sat up with a start, furious.
"Old man, could you mean one Silver Tael?" Chu Feng was outwardly polite, but inwardly he cursed: "The way you look, calling you a beggar is an insult to beggars."
