"He's Kong Li?"
Xiong Ji found it hard to believe that this handsome young man was that stinking little peacock?
"What? You must have been charmed by this young master's human form. I am a noble peacock. Even if I transform into beast form, I will still look better than lowly wild magical beasts like you. hahahahaha."
Kong Li took out a gorgeous purple feather fan out of nowhere and fanned himself in a pretentious and elegant manner.
This arrogant character, this face that needed to be slapped, was definitely that peacock. Xiong Ji quickly confirmed Kong Li's identity.
"Then what are we going to do now? Go back and find master?" Xiong Ji asked Yu Sisi. If that was the case, they could head back directly.
.
"I want to stroll around Thunder City. I'm afraid that I won't have the chance to come here again in the future."
Yu Sisi picked up her teacup and sipped her tea. Her eyes were filled with complicated emotions. Xiong Ji was stunned for a second before he replied, "Okay.".
"Do you want to go with us, Kong Li?"
Yu Sisi called out to Kong Li. It was a bit pitiful to leave Kong Li alone here, so she wanted to invite him along.
"What's so interesting about a human market? It's so noisy." Kong Li was actually a bit curious, but he blurted out the words of disgust. After saying that, he felt a bit regretful, so he straightened his neck and didn't look at them.
"Let's go. We can taste the delicacies in Thunder City together."
Yu Sisi knew that Kong Li was a tsundere, so when she saw his unwilling look, she knew that he wanted to follow her, so she directly pulled him along.
"Alright, since you insisted to invite me, then I'll reluctantly go along with you." Kong Li found a way out for himself. Xiong Ji's mouth twitched as he listened. This peacock was really troublesome.
The three of them pushed open the courtyard door together. The bustling sounds of people could not be compared to that of the small town at the foot of the mountain. Most of the salesmen who passed by were also neatly dressed in cotton clothes.
Their faces were filled with the enthusiasm of working hard to live. A salesman who was carrying groceries through the streets saw that Yu Sisi and the other two were staring blankly at the crowd by the side of the street, so he carried the goods and walked over.
"Young lady, young master, do you want to take a look at the latest hairpin of the season? It's light, easy to use, and beautiful. It's exactly the same style as the one in the Jade Pavilion."
The salesman was eager to sell the hairpins, so he put down the burdens and opened a big box.
"... Let's take a look then."
Yu Sisi originally wanted to say no, but when she saw Kong Li looking at the shelf from the corner of her eye with a curious look on his face, she changed her words.
"Cough, since you want to take a look, I will condescend to accompany you to take a look." Kong Li said shamelessly. He fanned his fan, looking very elegant and graceful. Seeing this, Xiong Ji wanted to pinch his mouth. He could not stand this kind of fellow.
However, because of Kong Li helping her take revenge and saving Xiong Ji, Yu Sisi's tolerance towards Kong Li had reached a new height, and she could now bear with Kong Li's childish behavior.
Yu Sisi looked at Xiong Ji's tightly clenched fists and gave him a slap, telling him not to be so angry.
Xiong Ji also thought of how Kong Li had been busy with the matters between the two of them for the past two days. Now that he was angry over such a small matter, he was indeed very ungrateful. He also let out a sigh of relief and folded his hands into his sleeves, watching Kong Li grope around.
Although Kong Li had traveled for nearly a hundred years, he had never been on the streets like this. He had too many underlings and needed him to protect him at all times. It was impossible for him to come to such a crowded city, let alone go shopping.
"What is this?"
"This is the most popular rouge in Thunder city at the moment. Both young ladies and wives like it. Young master, do you have a family and a sweetheart? You can buy it for her. I'm sure you can please her."
"I'm don't have a mat... I don't have a wife."
Kong Li almost spilled out the word "mate". He changed his words when he remembered that humans would not say that.
"I don't think young master is married. Why don't you buy it for the lady over there? You must have a deep relationship with her when you travel together."
"Who has a deep relationship with her? I don't even have a good relationship with them. We fight every day." Kong Li curled his lips.
"But I see that girl and her followers are very accommodating to you. They have been waiting for you to pick a good one, so they didn't rush you."
"That's because they didn't dare to rush me. I beat them until they cried for their parents every day!"
"So young master is so powerful. Why don't you take a look at this waist accessory? All the powerful cultivators in the city wear it. Look at the long tassels. When you fight, they sway with your body. It makes you look even more dashing!"
"Really? Then, then wrap it up for me."
Kong Li covered half of his face with his fan, feeling a little embarrassed. Yu Sisi didn't buy anything. He bought so many things.
"Then young master, pick a color?"
"Give me every color you have."
Kong Li looked at the waist accessory. It was indeed beautiful. As a wealthy royal peacock family, he never looked at the price when buying things.
"Okay!" The salesman responded with a smile and started to pack. He was very agile, and in a short while, he had packed a whole pile. Seeing that they were empty-handed, and Yu Sisi held an extraordinary sword in her hand.
"Young master, it's packed. If you throw it directly into the storage bag, it will break."
The salesman subconsciously thought that they were cultivators who had storage bags.
"Storage bag? What's That?" Kong Li's face was full of curiosity. What kind of novel thing was that?
"It's a bag that cultivators buy to hold things. It's just a small one, but it might be able to hold a bear!" The salesman was a bit surprised. After all, the storage bag that had appeared out of nowhere in the past few months had attracted the attention of all of Thunder City. He didn't know which big shot had created this thing.
As a real bear, Xiong Ji felt that this salesman was trying to mock him. First, the salesman treated him as Yu Sisi's attendant, and then he said that the storage bag could hold a bear.
"Hahahahaha, then tell us, where can we buy it?"
"It's right in front of the Jade Pavilion. All the shops on that street are selling it. They have all kinds of styles and designs."
The salesman showed them the direction. The three of them saw a purple sandalwood building. It was more than ten stories tall and looked very elegant. It directly knocked down a small building next to it.
"Then why don't you go and buy one?" Kong Li looked at the salesman's yearning look. He asked with some puzzlement.
"Young master, you must be joking. Only cultivators can drive such a magical treasure. I'm just an ordinary person without spiritual energy..." the salesman explained.
"Okay, how much I need to pay?"
"One for twenty silver coins. Twelve in total, 240 silver coins in total."
Kong Li took out a handful of crystal coins and stared at the salesman. He had never bought something so cheap, and the salesman only had gold coins, so he couldn't give back the change. It was very awkward.
"I'll pay. 240 silver coins, right? Here you are. Xiong Ji stepped forward to help. He often dealt with the villagers at the foot of the mountain, so there was naturally money for ordinary people.
After the salesman confirmed that the amount was correct, he took out a small box and put in all the belts that Kong Li wanted. He said that they were generous customers, and this box was an extra gift.
Kong Li held the wooden box that was carved with flowers, and he didn't know where his fan was. His eyes were wandering, and he was actually a little shy. He actually couldn't pay for the things he wanted! It was embarrassing!
"Humph, I won't take advantage of you. I will pay for the things you want later."
Kong Li reminded them that he was rich.
