103: Chapter 103 Selling out one's ancestors!

By evening, the event below had concluded.

Yuan Chen and Ming Xin bid the others farewell and headed downwards.

Wu Ji did not hesitate for a moment and followed directly behind them.

"Great-Grandfather, are you heading back to the manor? Or do you want to look around the area first?"

"If you want to look around, I know some interesting places. I'll take you both there right now!"

Wu Ji muttered as he followed behind.

Yuan Chen found it somewhat amusing.

This was his territory, after all.

Did he need someone else to show him the way?

However, considering he didn't have any subordinates with him, and seeing that Ming Xin had no objections, he didn't pay it much mind.

He let the other party follow as he pleased.

"..."

Feng Shang and the others watched as Wu Ji shamelessly followed them.

They were truly impressed by such a talent.

In any case, they couldn't bring themselves to be so shameless.

"Ignore him, let's eat."

Feng Shang waved his hand and signaled for everyone to eat.

In truth, he also wanted to be on good terms with Yuan Chen and his companion.

But watching Wu Ji follow them felt like swallowing a fly; he really couldn't bear to watch.

Besides, he didn't have the same knack for bootlicking as Wu Ji.

It was better not to disturb them.

"Husband, this is pretty. Can we buy it?"

Inside a shop.

Ming Xin held an ornament in her hands and looked at Yuan Chen with expectant eyes.

Yuan Chen smiled. "Come, let me put it on for you!"

As he spoke, he gently stepped forward, picked up the hairpin from the table, walked slowly behind Ming Xin, stroked her beautiful hair, and carefully inserted it.

Then, he casually tossed down a few Spirit Stones.

The hairpin wasn't very expensive.

It didn't even count as a Magical Artifact.

However, he knew that Ming Xin was simply enjoying the process.

What hadn't she seen before?

Having not left home for hundreds of years, she was naturally curious about everything.

Yuan Chen patiently accompanied her as they toured.

"Husband, is Sweet Silk really that delicious?"

After leaving the shop, Ming Xin couldn't help but ask.

Yuan Chen smiled and took her hand.

"You little glutton, don't be impatient. Didn't that brat Wu Ji go buy some for you? You'll know once you taste it in a bit!"

Just as Yuan Chen finished speaking, he saw Ming Xin covering her mouth and starting to giggle.

He asked.

"Xin'er, what happy thought has come to mind?"

"Haha, nothing, it's just funny hearing you, a twenty-something-year-old, call Wu Ji, who is several hundred years old, a 'brat'."

"Ha! So that's it. Aren't you also several hundred years old? Yet you still act like a little girl, often acting spoiled with me?"

Yuan Chen shook his head with a smile.

"Hmph! I'm different!"

Upon hearing this, Ming Xin immediately replied in a coquettish voice.

"Hey, wait a second, brother, why do you look so familiar?"

Just as the two were laughing and talking, a pleasant voice sounded from behind.

Along with the voice, a soft little hand landed on Yuan Chen's shoulder.

Yuan Chen curiously turned his head to look.

He was stunned.

It was actually a woman he recognized.

But this attire...

It was hard to describe.

She was pretty, indeed, but she lacked the gentleness of an ordinary woman.

She was wearing a man's oversized robe.

Her long hair was tied up high.

The hair alone was piled thirty centimeters high on her head, twisted into a thick braid.

The wide sleeves of both arms were rolled up crudely, exposing her entire fair forearm.

One hand was stuffing roast chicken into her mouth, while the other was resting unceremoniously on Yuan Chen's shoulder.

It didn't come down even when Yuan Chen turned around.

Yuan Chen stared blankly at her.

Had she changed her clothes so quickly?

Just as he was about to greet this unique beauty.

A happy shout came from the distance once again.

"Great-Grandfather, the Sweet Silk is here! You two should try it quickly."

Wu Ji came over, pushing through the crowd with a bag of snow-white, strip-shaped snacks in his hands.

Great Elder Wu Xuan had returned to her accommodation to change into comfortable clothes after participating in the morning.

To secure victory and obtain the high-grade spiritual tool, she had specially worn a long dress today that she would never normally wear.

But it felt really awkward and uncomfortable to wear.

As soon as she got off the field, she changed back into her usual attire.

After changing, she wandered around just like she had the previous days.

The goods in Qingye City were of good quality and inexpensive.

Having been in seclusion within the Wuque Clan for so long, she felt uncomfortable if she didn't spend some money in such a lively place.

She had just bought a roast chicken.

This chicken must have been at least an Acquired-level Yao Beast while alive.

The meat was delicious, and after eating it, her body felt slightly nourished and warm all over.

Just as she was eating, a couple brushed past her.

And after two steps, she stopped.

Hey! Why does this person look so familiar?

She was a carefree person by nature, so since she felt he looked familiar, she just asked directly.

Then she patted his shoulder.

After the other party turned around, her eyes became even more puzzled.

She really felt like she had seen him somewhere before.

And just as she froze for a second.

A familiar voice sounded.

She looked in the direction of the voice.

Isn't that the brat from her family?

She stared at him, bewildered.

Then her gaze instantly turned dangerous.

What was that brat calling the man opposite him?

He ran over happily.

He eagerly handed the Sweet Silk to Ming Xin.

"This Sweet Silk is made from a thousand-year-old Ice Ganoderma cut into four strips, then soaked in dew from a pine tree. You must try it!"

After speaking, he couldn't help but look around.

Why did his back suddenly feel chilly?

As he turned his head, he locked eyes with Great Elder Wu Xuan.

Wu Ji's expression stiffened.

His face looked somewhat awkward.

But he adjusted himself in an instant.

The smile on his lips rippled again.

He said with pleasant surprise.

"Oh! Great-Grandmother, what a coincidence! You're here too?"

Great Elder Wu Xuan stared into his eyes, pointed at Yuan Chen, and asked indifferently.

"What did you just call him?"

A faint Killing Intent flashed in her eyes.

Yuan Chen watched the two with interest, wanting to see how this brat Wu Ji would explain himself.

He reached out, took two strips of Sweet Silk from Ming Xin's hand, and brought them to her mouth.

"Come, have a taste, watch the show while you eat!"

Ming Xin opened her innocent, large eyes and glanced at her husband with amusement.

Then she opened her mouth wide to eat it, obediently staring at the bizarre pair.

Wu Ji stole a glance at Great Elder Wu Xuan's ferocious gaze.

He gave a sheepish smile.

He glanced in Yuan Chen's direction.

His eyes darted around.

It might make Great-Grandmother unhappy for a moment.

But Yuan Chen's side was a big deal.

He closed his eyes and thought, so be it!

"Great-Grandmother, I called him Great-Grandfather!"

However, his voice involuntarily lowered.

Great Elder Wu Xuan had already remembered where she had seen Yuan Chen; wasn't this the guy who was recruiting?

She instantly understood what Wu Ji meant.

You good-for-nothing brat.

You sold out your own ancestors so quickly?

Clack!

A long whip emitting a green light suddenly appeared in Great Elder Wu Xuan's hand.

She lashed it fiercely against the ground.

She stared at Wu Ji with a dangerous look in her eyes.

Wu Ji's face instantly turned pale!
