Chapter 469: Buying the Sweetheart
When Chu Xiaomu was being pulled by Xiaoying, he noticed a large restaurant on a street that was beautifully decorated, so he led everyone straight to the restaurant.
The restaurant was built with huge purple-red wood, with carved beams and painted buildings, flying eaves and brackets, and was decorated magnificently. In the middle of the restaurant were three large gilded characters: "Junxian Tower".
The shopkeeper saw that only two women, one in purple and one in yellow, were dressed slightly better, while the others were dressed ordinary, even strangely, so he thought they had come to the wrong store and did not go up to greet them.
Chu Xiaomu took out a gold shell coin and threw it to him, deliberately saying loudly: "Please change it to a silver shell for me, I want to eat."
The shop assistant immediately smiled and went away happily.
Chu Xiaomu asked for a large private room and led the crowd in. The crowd had never seen such a scene before, so they all looked straight ahead, put their palms flat on their thighs, and sat upright.
Even Bai Shantang, who usually spoke in a very loud voice, just coughed lightly, stared at a huge painting opposite him without blinking, and could not utter a word.
Only Xiaoying couldn't sit still. She walked around the building, full of curiosity, like a bird that had just entered a new forest.
She looked around and touched things, not caring about the eyes of other customers in the store.
The waiter exchanged a gold shell coin for twenty-five silver shell coins and gave them to Chu Xiaomu, then asked him to order some food.
Chu Xiaomu remembered the six or seven dishes he had eaten in Xihai City, including steamed clams with fried dough sticks, steamed ginseng and shrimps with three delicacies, and three kinds of mandarin fish, so he ordered them all. He also ordered several other dishes, such as crab paste red meatballs and gentleman's vegetables.
Finally, he ordered two large pots of wine. The most famous wine in Baijun City is osmanthus wine, but he often heard Zhang Hou, Su Mishun and others say that Yuya wine is the best wine in Cangmu Country, and he wanted to try it himself. So he ordered Yuya wine produced in Yutuo City. It was spring at this time, so it was also called Yuya Spring Wine.
Not long after, dishes were brought in, filling up the entire table.
The people on Baihua Island had never seen such a scene before and were all dumbfounded. No one could have imagined that these chickens, ducks, fish and meats could be cooked in so many ways and look so good when placed on the table.
Everyone was toasting and eating heartily. Even Xiaoxuan, who never drank, took a few sips and her face immediately turned red, as radiant as a fairy.
Xiaoying, this girl, is as brave as any man. She drinks with Bai Shantang and others, one cup after another.
When Chu Xiaomu saw her rosy face, he couldn't help but stare at her in a daze for a moment.
After eating and drinking, Chu Xiaomu called his companion to come over to settle the bill, but was told that someone had already paid.
Everyone was puzzled and thought, could it be that the people of East Continent are more hospitable than those of us on Baihua Island, that they don’t even have to pay for meals?
Suddenly, someone behind me said, "Brother Chu, if you want to eat and drink in the future, just come to my Junxian Tower. No matter how much you eat and drink, it's all free. I don't charge a penny."
Chu Xiaomu looked back and saw that it was the young master Mo who had forced the purchase of the yellow horse, and there were still four servants following him. He asked, "Is it you?"
Young Master Mo smiled and said, "It's me. Brother Chu's full name is Xiaomu, my last name is Mo, and my given name is Haodong. You can call me Brother Mo or Haodong from now on."
While Mo Haodong was talking to Chu Xiaomu, his eyes couldn't help but glance at Xiaoying who was sitting next to him.
Seeing his frivolous eyes and the fact that he had a fair and delicate face despite being a man, Xiaoying couldn't help but feel annoyed. She glared at Mo Haodong fiercely and said angrily, "What are you looking at? I don't allow you to look!"
Chu Xiaomu also said: "I have my own money, so I don't need you to pay for me."
Mo Haodong smiled but said nothing.
The muscular servant behind him shouted, "Boy, you better be sensible. The money you have is also given by our master. Don't just take it all and leave!"
Chu Xiaomu was actually amused by him and said, "You are quite funny. The money I have is from selling horses. How can I say that it was given by him?"
The strong servant said, "Your broken horse looks half dead, and is worth only a dozen or twenty gold at most. The young master gave you 120 gold. How can ordinary people do business like this? The extra 100 gold is given to you by the young master!"
When Chu Xiaomu heard him insult Cheng Huang, his face turned serious and he said coldly: "You'd better be careful with your words. What do you mean by 'looking half dead'?"
Mo Haodong quickly stopped the two of them and said, "Brother Chu is right. The 120 gold coins are the money I used to buy the horse, not a gift to you. Brother Chu is a hero, how can you accept such a small favor?"
Bai Shantang and others thought that what your young master said was quite reasonable, otherwise the two of them would have definitely made a big scene.
Chu Xiaomu said: "I am not a hero. Master Mo, no matter how small or big your favor is, I cannot accept it." He took out a gold coin from his pocket, threw it casually, and it landed on the counter next to the shop assistant far away.
At this time, the door was pushed open and the counter could be seen, but the position where he was sitting was four or five feet away from it. Chu Xiaomu threw it casually and it landed steadily on the counter without jumping up. It was obviously a very high level of Force.
The four servants behind Mo Haodong saw this and their faces changed slightly. However, he seemed to not understand anything and said, "Brother Chu, it seems that you don't know the rules of Baijun City?"
Chu Xiaomu asked: "What rules?"
"In my Baijun City, if I, Mo Haodong, want to give money to someone, that person must accept it; if I, Mo Haodong, want something from someone, that person must give it to him!" After a pause, Mo Haodong continued, "Let's be frank. I like the young lady next to you. Name your price."
Chu Xiaomu was furious but did not show it. He was thinking about how to deal with this self-righteous Mo Haodong.
Xiaoying stood up suddenly and yelled angrily: "You androgynous monster, what nonsense are you talking about?!" She grew up on the top of Baihuading and had never learned any swear words, so the most offensive words she could use were "monster", "nonsense" or "wild boy".
Bai Shantang and others also stood up and glared at Mo Haodong and his group.
When Mo Haodong heard Xiaoying scolding him as "neither man nor woman", his expression suddenly changed.
The strong servant suddenly stretched out his hands, and the clothes on his upper body were torn into pieces and flew away, revealing a body of gnarled muscles. What was strange was that the muscle veins were covered with gray lines as thick as pen tubes, as if the roots of a strange tree were crawling all over his body, or as if a strange spider web had formed on his body.
Bai Shantang and the others were all startled, thinking that this man must have some powerful abilities since he had such strange features on his body, and that even the dozen or so people here might not be able to defeat him.
Xiaoxuan was also having a headache. Although she had special skills, she couldn't use them in this room. What should she do?
