"Ying Jie,"
"Good little brother, why do you have time to visit me today..."
Huang Ying was very happy to see Gao Xian's visit.
She took Gao Xian's hand to the backyard, "Let's have lunch here today. I'll have some dishes brought in."
"Thank you, Ying Jie. I won't be polite then." Huang Ying's warmth made Gao Xian's mood even better.
Huang Ying noticed that the cyan robe on Gao Xian was extraordinary, giving him a touch of ethereal aura.
She was pleasantly surprised and said, "This is the Cyan Cloud Robe, it fits you perfectly, very flattering!"
"Sister has a good eye." Gao Xian was beaming with pride.
Wearing new clothes, he needed the praise.
As the two entered Huang Ying's room, Gao Xian immediately felt a warmth enveloping his whole body, dispelling the chill.
Upon closer inspection, he realized that even the floor tiles were warm.
It turned out that Huang Ying's room was equipped with underground heating, making the entire room as warm as spring.
This comfortable and warm environment naturally made one relax.
Gao Xian couldn't help but envy it.
Living in such a room in the dead of winter was indeed very comfortable!
When the waiter brought the food and wine, Gao Xian and Huang Ying toasted a few glasses.
Across from him, Huang Ying's eyes were like rippling water, a hint of blush on her cheeks.
Gao Xian felt a rush of heat throughout his body, wishing he could strip down to feel comfortable.
"Ying Jie, relax, I'm here..."
After eating and drinking to his fill, Gao Xian couldn't sit still any longer.
He displayed the Electric Light Subduing Dragon Hand technique, giving Huang Ying a thorough massage.
Huang Ying was left breathless, sweating profusely, her alluring curves almost bursting out of her revealing attire.
After the massage, Gao Xian also felt relieved.
Although he could control himself, Huang Ying seemed unable to contain her desire.
Fortunately, he took the initiative and subdued Huang Ying, who now looked content and lazy, no longer having thoughts of devouring him.
"Ying Jie, I have some old magic tools here, could you help me deal with them?"
Gao Xian came to see Huang Ying mainly to handle these low-grade magic tools he had acquired.
Huang Ying's Bai Bing Hall specialized in selling magic tools, and she had craftsmen who could refurbish them.
It was most appropriate to hand over these old magic tools to her.
"So many!"
Seeing twenty to thirty low-grade magic tools piled in front of her, Huang Ying looked at Gao Xian in surprise, "This is?"
"Yesterday, someone came to my house to attack me, but I fought back and killed them." Gao Xian, still young-looking, felt a bit embarrassed talking about this.
"Impressive!"
Huang Ying was greatly impressed.
She sincerely praised Gao Xian, whom she had always thought of as kind-hearted and gentle.
She never expected him to have such skills, which was truly surprising.
"Twenty-nine magic tools, totaling three hundred spirit stones."
After appraising the magic tools with her identification technique, Huang Ying quoted a price.
Despite their good relationship, business was business, and it was necessary to be clear about the transactions.
It wasn't easy to sell so many low-grade magic tools.
While she could make some profit from the three hundred spirit stones, it wasn't a significant amount.
"Thank you, Ying Jie." Gao Xian was quite satisfied with the price.
Being able to dispose of them all at once saved him a lot of trouble.
After leaving Huang Ying's place, Gao Xian went to Changsheng Hall.
Gao Xian didn't dare to directly approach Zhu Qiuniang, fearing it might raise suspicions.
After lingering at the door for a while, he saw Da Niu leaving, and only then did he let Da Niu lead him in through the back door.
"Brother, the house renovation is almost done. A few more days to let the smell dissipate, and it'll be ready to move in."
Da Niu was very attentive to the house renovation, eagerly reporting the progress to Gao Xian.
"You've worked hard. I've prepared all the daily necessities, furniture, pots, and pans."
Gao Xian thought for a moment and handed the fat man's storage bag to Da Niu, "You can use this storage bag for now."
Da Niu was both surprised and delighted.
This was a storage bag! But he didn't dare to accept it, "Brother, this is too valuable, I dare not use it."
"It's not for you, just borrowing it."
Gao Xian also gave Da Niu twenty spirit stones, "You've worked hard during this time. Keep up the good work, I won't treat you unfairly."
Da Niu couldn't refuse and accepted the spirit stones and storage bag with a silly smile, "Brother, rest assured, everything is arranged properly, there won't be any problems."
When Zhu Qiuniang came over and saw Da Niu leaving with a big smile, she casually asked, "What's going on? Why is Da Niu so happy?"
"I gave him a storage bag."
Seeing Zhu Qiuniang's expression darken slightly, Gao Xian hurriedly explained, "It's for him to use. Yesterday, Yao Qingshuang and her people came to kill me, and I got this storage bag from them..."
Gao Xian and Zhu Qiuniang were close comrades, he wouldn't tell the truth to Huang Ying, but he wouldn't hide anything from Zhu Qiuniang.
"Yao Qingshuang?" Zhu Qiuniang was also surprised.
This woman had a notorious reputation and was definitely not a good person.
Gao Xian actually encountered Yao Qingshuang!
She didn't doubt Gao Xian, but she found the whole thing unbelievable.
"Qingshuang Sword." Gao Xian took out the Qingshuang Sword and handed it to Zhu Qiuniang.
He didn't want his comrade to misunderstand him.
"Good sword."
Zhu Qiuniang drew the Qingshuang Sword and admired it for a while before returning it to Gao Xian, full of admiration, "Yao Qingshuang actually died by your hand, truly, truly..."
She didn't know what to say.
Yao Qingshuang had a fearsome reputation in Tengshe Mountain, having killed at least a hundred cultivators.
For such a renowned expert to die at Gao Xian's hands was truly beyond imagination.
Zhu Qiuniang knew Gao Xian's swordsmanship was formidable, and his spells were skillful, but compared to Yao Qingshuang, he still had a long way to go.
She was deeply moved by the unpredictability of fate.
"Yao Qingshuang is an important figure in the Red Snake Gang. If others find out that you killed Yao Qingshuang, it could cause trouble."
Zhu Qiuniang reminded him, "Hide for a few days, and if necessary, stay at my place."
Gao Xian shook his head, "It's inconvenient if others see me. I'll stay at Zhou Ye's place for a few days. The new house is almost ready, so I'll move in there directly."
"Alright." Zhu Qiuniang also had some concerns about this.
After all, the two of them had conspired to kill her husband.
Their relationship couldn't bear the light of day.
"Qiuniang, this robe is for you." Gao Xian handed the robe belonging to Yao Qingshuang to Zhu Qiuniang.
This robe was actually not as good as the one she was wearing.
However, the gift was a gesture of goodwill.
Zhu Qiuniang was momentarily stunned as she reached out to take the robe, unsure of what to say.
"This belonged to Yao Qingshuang, don't wear it outside."
Gao Xian reminded her before hastily running out the back door.
After Gao Xian left, Zhu Qiuniang held the cyan robe in her hands, feeling a mix of emotions from Gao Xian's sudden kindness.
She shook her head and put away the cyan robe, "Why resort to such tricks to please a woman..."
With their close relationship, there was no need for these small gestures of gift-giving.
Zhu Qiuniang put the cyan robe into the storage bag, sat for a while, then couldn't help but think about the robe again.
She took out the cyan robe once more, hesitated for a moment, and then put it on.
Looking at herself in the large bronze mirror, Zhu Qiuniang felt the robe was a bit too small, and the two spells embedded in the robe were quite low-grade.
Seeing her radiant reflection in the mirror, Zhu Qiuniang realized that her inner joy had already shown on her face...
