Chapter 44: A little shopping!

Ming Yuelin who was lying on Zhang Yuan's lap had her eyes closed as she enjoyed her small nap on his lap under the cool breeze of the wind.

However, at this time, hearing footsteps reaching close to her in the grassland, she opened her eyes and looked at Xue Hua.

Xue Hua cupped her hands with a bow "Master, I have cleansed my body."

"Hm." With a nod, Zhang Yuan spoke "For the next week, try to strengthen your body and after that, I will restore your profound core."

Xue Hua frowned slightly "Strengthen my body?"

Zhang Yuan gave a faint nod "Yeah... I don't have to tell about demons and demonic energy to you. Demons have greater physical strength than human cultivators."

"Yes, Master."

With a slight frown, Zhang Yuan asked "What cultivation technique were you using before?"

Letting out a soft sigh, Xue Hua uttered "I am not that talented, so I was using an agility-type cultivation technique along with a stealth type."

"And to kill Hong Shi, I practiced a little in daggers and poison."

Zhang Yuan leaned back leisurely on the bench "Hm... I see. For good use of your physical strength, you need to use gauntlets, as demonic energy has explosive powers."

Xue Hua's eyebrows wrinkled in thought and she gave a contemplative nod "Yes, Master."

-_- Ming Yuelin started at Xue Hua blankly 'She is always talking about killing Hong Shi eh.'

She then turned to Zhang Yuan and smiled "Master, now you have to buy me three more robes."

"Heh, three more?"

Ming Yuelin, lying on his lap turned her face to his abdomen and hugged his waist "Yeah, I gave two robes to Junior Sister and the one you got wet by throwing me." she muttered nuzzling her face on his abdomen.

"Ok, we can... shall we go today?"

"Okay!"

Zhao Tian turned his gaze to Xue Hua and smiled "Do you want to come with us, Hua?"

Xue Hua gently shook her head "No, Master... I have horns and if you are going to the North Pearl town, Hong Shi is there and she will instantly recognize me."

Hearing this, Zhang Yuan chuckled "You don't need to worry about that. I can hide that with illusion, so?"

Xue Hua still hesitated and Ming Yuelin got down from Zhang Yuan's lap "Yes Junior sister, we need to buy you new robes. You can't always wear my robes, right?"

Xue Hua lowered her head and nodded "Ok..."

"And here..." Zhang Yuan said extending his hand and Xue Hua looked at the ring on his palm.

H-Huh? The saleswoman was dumbfounded to hear their replies and one of them spoke "Since we are okay with him, let him enter."

However, among the women, there is a woman with blue hair and she looked at Zhang Yuan curiously "A handsome man like this... in a small town like this?"

Her gaze then fell on the two young women beside him and she smiled faintly "Seems like they are his disciples. Came for the inheritance ground?"

Zhang Yuan looked at the confused saleswoman and spoke "I need to buy clothes for my wife and gift her. So?"

"Oh... he has a wife?"

"Then the ones beside him?"

"Let him buy the gift for his wife, dammit."

The saleswoman smiled wryly and gestured "Please enter."

-_- Wife? Ming Yuelin was stunned. Oh, he is bluffing... I see.

Entering in, Zhang Yuan uttered, "Lin'er, Hua, you go and choose the clothes you like."

As they left, he also walked around the section to select some clothes for Mei Xiu.

Glancing at a bluish-green-colored robe, he reached out and took it in his hands with a smile.

"I am sure that will look good on your wife."

Zhang Yuan turned his eyes and looked at Feng Xinyi "Sure."

Feng Xinyi looked at him, her eyes sparkling in curiosity because he has an intriguing aura around him, which excluded a divine and serene ambiance.

'But he doesn't look so strong... heck, I can't see his cultivation base. He looks like a normal human, but has such an aura...'

She took a quick glimpse at him and walked away from there with two sets of robes in her hand.

Walking to the front to pay for her robes, she sighed in her heart 'I should go and check in the forest today.'

'She is my disciple and a demon has tried to kill her. I will not let this slip away. If I can bring the demon's body to her, she will develop trust in me and will soon accept me as her Master.'

At this time, Ming Yuelin came there and pulled Zhang Yuan's hand "Master, help me to choose some clothes."

With a faint chuckle, he went with her, playing along to his disciple's desires.
