Chapter 700: Plans for Tomorrow

After she fixed her appearance and dressed appropriately, Meixiu went outside to find Yuan and the others.

“Sorry for this… I lost track of time and forgot about dinner.” Meixiu apologized to the others.

“Don’t worry about it. It’s not even your obligation to cook for us, so we cannot complain even if you decide to stop cooking for us.” Wang Bingbing said to her.

“My sister’s right. If you need a break, just let us know. We can take care of our own dinner,” said Wang Ming.

“By the way, who knew there were restaurants on this mountain? I wasn’t aware of their existence until Meixiu mentioned it and I looked it up.” Shi Lang said.

“I was also surprised by this information.” Xi Murong agreed.

“I saw a tall building on our way to the mansion. Perhaps that’s where they are located,” Wu Zao recalled seeing a mall.

“Yes, that’s the place.” Meixiu confirmed.

“There are other stores besides restaurants there, such as a convenience store, and even clothing stores, just like a real mall.”

“I was also told by a worker there that everything inside the mall is free.”

“What? Really? That sounds too good to be true.” Wang Ming said.

“Does it? If you think about it, we paid four billion dollars for a house here. That’s more than enough to buy multiple malls, not to mention our ridiculous property tax.” Wang Bingbing said.

“That doesn’t sound like a good idea, though. What if someone decides to take everything in the store? They can make decent money from doing that if they wished.” Hong Xiuquan asked.

“That won’t happen.” Chu Liuxiang said.

“I have lived here for over a decade, and there has been no such case. First of all, everybody living in this place is so rich that they don’t really need any more money, so they wouldn’t go through the hassle of selling things from the mall. Secondly, it would ruin their dignity and face if word gets out, and nothing is more important than face in a society like this.”

“Lastly, if you abuse the mountain’s generosity, they can easily take it away from you. Nobody dares to offend the Lord of this mountain, who can evict anybody living in this mountain even if they’re permanent residents.”

“I have heard of this Lord a couple of times now, but I couldn’t find any information about him. Have you seen the lord before, Miss Chu?” Wang Ming asked her.

She shook her head, “No, I have not. In fact, I don’t think my parents have seen him before either. He’s just that mysterious and seclusive.”

“Rumor is that he’s a powerful cultivator who has surpassed the limits of what a human can achieve, but we probably won’t ever learn the legitimacy of such rumors,” Chu Liuxiang shrugged.

“Surpassed human limits…” Yuan mumbled to himself, and his interest— curiosity for this Lord reached a new level.

After arriving at the mall, they all agreed on a restaurant and went inside for dinner.

Sometime later, Yuan and the others left the restaurant after dinner, but they didn’t immediately go back home.

Instead, they hung around the mall for another hour like a group of friends after a long day at school.

“Wow, these clothes are all brand names. The Lord of the mountain is truly a generous fellow to be giving out these expensive clothes for free!” Wang Bingbing was surprised by what she saw in the mall.

Most of the clothes found inside the mall were designer clothes that can cost thousands of dollars each.

Purses, shoes, perfumes, sport equipment, fishing gear, weapons, armor— they could find almost anything inside this mall with most of the items being luxury goods.

After their tour around the mall ended, Yuan and the others returned home.

“I am definitely going to return to that mall tomorrow, and I am going to take my time.” Wang Bingbing declared as they approached the entrance to their home.

“I’m also going to go back later. I saw a few things that attracted my interest, and I want to take a closer look at them.” Wang Ming agreed.

“They had a pretty nice collection of fans in one of the stores there.” Wu Zao said.

Almost everyone there wanted to return to the mall after seeing what it had to offer.

“Goodnight, everyone.”

“Goodnight.”

They returned to their own rooms shortly after.

“You look like you had fun tonight.” Chu Liuxiang said to Yuan as they walked back to their room.

“Of course. I did not have any friends back then—not that I would have the time or opportunity to hang out like we did today even if I had friends.”

“I can relate to that.” Chu Liuxiang said.

And she continued, “We should go back as well— just the two of us. It’ll be like a date!”

Yuan nodded.

“Goodnight, Meixiu.” Yuan said to her, who was following behind them because her room was in the same direction.

“Goodnight.” Meixiu nodded before going inside her room.

“What are you going to do tomorrow?” Chu Liuxiang asked him in bed as they prepared to sleep.

“A few things, actually. After morning training with Li Jinxi and the others, I am going to enter Cultivation Online and visit the Myriad of Techniques to see if my new faction rank changed anything. Then I am going to look for an auction house to sell all of the treasures I picked up from the Blood Sect and the Gu Family… Oh, right, I have to find an Array Master to remove the seals of their previous owners before I can take out the treasures to sell.”

“I see… Well, wake me up when you do so I don’t sleep through it! I also want to be there with you tomorrow!”

“You can still sleep that much after sleeping for the entire day?” Yuan was baffled by her ability to sleep.

If Yuan’s talent is to eat a lot of food, Chu Liuxiang’s talent is to sleep a lot. Fortunately for them, their talents are separated in two different bodies, or it would be quite disastrous for their health and future if all they do is eat and sleep all day.

“Goodnight, darling.” Chu Liuxiang gave him a quick kiss on the cheeks before submerging herself under the blankets.

“Goodnight, Lulu…”
