Something's Wrong With My Wife

Chapter 68: Treasure in the Storage Bag

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

After a moment of silence.

Luo Qingzhou picked up the last stick of candied hawthorn from the windowsill and walked out of the house.

It was just a stick of candied hawthorn. He could buy it for Xiao Die next time.

He walked under the pear tree and handed the candied hawthorn in his hand to the cold girl.

“Hmph!”

The girl snorted coldly and turned her face to look elsewhere.

The sword was still in her arms. Her sharp chin was slightly raised, and she stared unblinkingly elsewhere. Her pretty face was still as cold as ice.

She was like an exquisite ice sculpture.

A breeze blew past, lifting a strand of the girl’s hair and stirring up her fragrance.

It was faint and sweet.

It was very unique.

Luo Qingzhou did not dare to continue staring. He retracted his gaze and was about to leave with the candied hawthorn when a familiar coldness suddenly enveloped his entire body again.

At the same time, a cold killing intent attacked him, making his back turn cold.

He stopped and turned to look.

The girl was still holding her sword. Her pretty face was turned to the side as she looked elsewhere coldly.

Bai Ling, who was at the entrance, suddenly smiled. “Chanchan does not eat any food that anyone gives. You must beg her… beg her to eat.”

Luo Qingzhou was at a loss for words.

He thought, “If she doesn’t want to eat, so be it.”

“Why must I coax her?’

He ignored her and prepared to return to his room with the candied hawthorn.

Clang!

With a sword cry, a cold light flashed!

Then, his neck suddenly itched.

His body stiffened and he stopped in his tracks. He touched his neck and turned around.

Under the pear tree, the girl was still holding her sword. Her pretty face was cold as she stood there as if she had never moved.

The sword was in its sheath as if it had never come out.

However, a small branch on the pear tree above her head suddenly fell and landed on the ground with a bang.

Luo Qingzhou did not feel any blood on his neck.

However, his entire body felt as if he had fallen into an icehouse. He felt a chill run down his spine.

He paused on the spot for a few seconds before turning around and stopping in front of her again. He handed over the candied hawthorn in his hand and lowered his head: “Miss Xia Chan..

He felt his face heat up.

However, he still said, “Please… Please eat the candied hawthorn. I specially bought it for you.”

“Hmph!”

The girl snorted again, but this time, she took the candied hawthorn from his hand.

Then, she left coldly.

Luo Qingzhou was at a loss for words.

When Bai Ling passed by her, she smiled and said, “Chanchan, did Sir specially buy this candied hawthorn for you? It looks very sweet. Can you give me a bite?”

No one paid any attention to her.

The girl held a sword in one hand and a candied hawthorn in the other. She disappeared from the door coldly and silently.

“Sir.”

Bai Ling waved the remaining candied hawthorn in her hand at the door and blinked. “You have to work hard tonight.”

With that, she turned around and left.

Luo Qingzhou stood in the small courtyard for a while. After confirming that they would not return, he closed the courtyard door and inserted the bolt.

Then, he returned to his room, closed the door and windows, and took out the storage bag.

He opened the bag and thought to himself, “A weak scholar.” Then, his gaze entered the spatial space.

The originally narrow space in the bag suddenly opened up.

There were more than 10 cubic meters inside.

The first thing he saw was a small bag of golden coins.

He estimated that it was at least 1,000 gold coins.

If one gold coin was equivalent to 100 taels of silver, there was a total of 100,000 taels of silver here!

Not only did a low-level martial artist have a storage bag, but he also had so much money in it.

Was it his asset, or…

Luo Qingzhou recalled the assassination attempt yesterday and the killers’ thoughts he had heard.

“I’m afraid a large portion of these gold coins must have been given to him by First Madam. ”

Apart from their salary and businesses, the Chengguo Residence would also organize martial artists to hunt demon beasts every once in a while.

To hone his skills, Second Young Master Luo Yu would often tag along.

That should be the most profitable.

Previously, Luo Qingzhou had casually flipped through a book in the Treasure Gathering Pavilion. It said that even the lowest-grade demon core could be exchanged for more than a thousand gold coins.

A martial artist might not be able to obtain it in their entire lives.

Just like in his previous life, wealthy people could spend millions of yuan on a casual meal. Ordinary people might not be able to earn that amount even if they worked hard for a lifetime without eating or drinking.

Some ordinary people had never even seen gold coins in their lives.

Of course, the consumption of resources for martial artists was also incomparable to that of ordinary mortals.

At the same time, he would risk his life for every mission.

The martial artist assassin yesterday was hired by First Madam at a high price.

She was quite willing to spend so much.

Luo Qingzhou looked at the gold coins and clenched his fists.

After calming himself down, he looked at a brocade box beside him.

The lid of the box was opened, and there was a milky-white bead inside.

From the looks of it, it was a demon core!

He immediately withdrew his gaze and took out the book he had just bought from the Treasure Gathering Pavilion. After flipping through it for a while, he finally found a drawing of a demon core.

There were numerous colors for demon cores. There were milky white, light blue, dark blue, red, and so on.

This milky-white demon core was the lowest-level demon core.

However, the martial artist from yesterday was only at the Skin Refining Realm. It was unlikely that he could kill a demon beast with a demon core alone.

It was very likely that he had snatched it from somewhere else or stolen it.

The value of this demon core was not small!

Luo Qingzhou was excited. He put down the book and looked into his storage bag.

There were also more than 10 bottles of potions inside. Clearly, they were all used for cultivation.

Other than the potions, there were also more than 200 taels of silver and some clothes.

There was even some food.

Other than that, there were no other useful items.

There were no cultivation manuals or treasures.

However, this was enough.

To him, this was an unexpected windfall.

Luo Qingzhou immediately got up and took out the Lunisolar Mirror under the bed and the secret manual he had obtained last night. He placed them in his spatial pouch.

After repeatedly putting it in and taking it out, he tested it many times before he was able to do it easily.

With this huge sum of money, he would probably have no problem flesh refining in the future. He could eat and use it freely.

Coupled with the spiritual fluid produced by the Lunisolar Mirror, his cultivation speed would probably be even faster.

He put away his and opened the window.

He flipped open the book on the table that introduced martial artists and read it.

“When a martial artist tempers their skin, other than using external forces to hammer it, in addition to the combination of internal cultivation techniques and medicine, another martial artist who is at least a Martial Grand Master can directly inject their internal energy into it to help temper it. The speed will be even faster.

“Skin and flesh can be refined like this.

“Cultivate on your own. For those talented individuals, it will take about a year for them to successfully refine their flesh. For those with low talent, it’s possible to succeed after three to five years…”

“With help from others, those with high talent need only one month to successfully refine their skin. Those with low talent will only need a year…”

“It’s best for women to refine their skin and flesh with the help of others. The speed is faster, the effect is better, and they won’t suffer too much pain..

Luo Qingzhou was secretly surprised when he saw this.

The book said that if he cultivated, those with high talent would need a year.

On the other hand, he had been exploring and cultivating alone. However, he had succeeded in refining the skin in less than a month.

It seemed that the spiritual liquid produced by the Lunisolar Mirror was more effective than he had imagined!

He turned to the next page.

Time passed quickly when he was reading.

In the blink of an eye.

The sky outside was already dark. It was already dusk.

The snow fell harder.

When the sky was about to turn dark, Xiao Die came back with food.

After the master and servant finished eating in the room, night had already fallen.

Although they had already taken a shower during the day, the two of them still took their clothes and braved the snow to go to the lake.

After soaking in the hot spring and being drenched in snowflakes, it was a different feeling.

Xiao Die’s long black hair was let down, revealing a pair of snow-white shoulders in the smoke. She tilted her head and washed her hair. She said, “Young Master, do you think Miss will come tonight?”

Luo Qingzhou walked to her side and reached out to help wash her hair without answering.

Who cared?

If she used that move again, he would force her to reveal herself. Xiao Die looked at him shyly and said with a red face, “Young Master…”

“What?”

“I want to…”

“Don’t think about it anymore. One more year.” “No, I want to… I want to pee…”

Luo Qingzhou did not want to reply to her.

He turned around and walked away. With his back facing her, he sank into the water.

Then, he suddenly thought of something and hurriedly up again. He spat out a mouthful of water.

The night was very quiet.

The snowflakes landed on the lake and melted before they entered the water.

However, they continued to drop from the sky one after another.

This winter seemed to have just begun..
