Jun Wu Xiao and Chu Wu argued over so trivial matters for a while longer then Chu Wu spoke:
"Let’s stop talking and proceed later. I’ll take you shopping for clothes first. In the past, when you went to capture people under the title of ’demon god’, but now you look more like a ’beggar-god’ instead."
When Jun Wu Xiao heard that, he had nothing to refute. After all, he was planning to buy new clothes. Although he currently doesn’t have any money, if he wants to earn enough money to buy a few clothes, he has no shortage of ways.
"Fine, let’s go buy clothes first then. But you lead the way, I barely know my way around the capital." he said.
Chu Wu nodded and pulled a mask from within his garnt, strapping it onto his face. Jun Wu Xiao paused in surprise before asking:
"What are you playing at? We’re not going out to capture anyone."
Chu Wu felt it was ti to boast, pretending to sigh but speaking with a tone of pride:
"Haiz, I have no choice. I’m too famous, loved dearly by the people. If I didn’t do this, I’d probably be mobbed by the citizens upon stepping out."
In fact, both Jun Wu Xiao and the few he considered friends could be regarded as beings beyond worldly desires. They did not need emotions, feelings, or joy when cultivated, but their behavior changed when they were together.
Seeing him boast, Jun Wu Xiao’s expression darkened slightly as he said:
"Believe it or not, if you boast a little more, a general beaten into a pig’s head will hang above the fortress gate."
"Huh, you wouldn’t do that. If you did, I’d stop playing with you." Chu Wu retorted dismissively.
He wasn’t intimidated by such nonsensical threats, knowing well that Jun Wu Xiao wouldn’t actually do it.
Jun Wu Xiao was speechless by it, it was true that he would not play like that. He just wanted to scare a little, but it seed like what he did was useless.
Seeing him unable to argue back, Yue Guang laughed:
"Ha ha ha, you can’t argue against him? Give it up."
"What do you an can’t argue? I haven’t lost yet." Jun Wu Xiao stubbornly replied.
At this mont, Chu Wu also noticed Yue Guang, who until now had been overlooked due to Jun Wu Xiao’s arrival.
The woman in front of him, although not dressed in luxurious attire, truly possessed a beauty that could topple countries and fortresses. However, Chu Wu remained uninterested in that.
He’s not a eunuch, but he’s a pure-hearted person who obviously won’t care about won or perhaps the right person for him hasn’t appeared yet. Is there still a shortage of won in his life?
When he was young, there were countless people who wanted to marry their daughters to him, but he refused them all, he just wanted to focus on unifying the world.
However, Chu Wu did notice sothing else—the interaction between this woman and Jun Wu Xiao was extraordinarily intimate. He knew that his friend was not interested in ordinary won. If soone was close to him, they must indeed be quite exceptional.
After so thought, he concluded that the only plausible explanation was that they were in a spousal relationship. With a smirk, he said:
"Indeed, Jun Wu Xiao. Your wife is not wrong. You must accept your defeats to truly grow. He he, but even if you grow, you still can’t win an argunt against ."
Jun Wu Xiao did not imdiately counter but felt perplexed. Two of his friends had now mistaken Yue Guang as his wife, starting to doubt the nature of his relationship with her.
Yue Guang also felt the sa as him, she also began to doubt what her relationship with him looked like in the eyes of outsiders. She said:
"That’s wrong. You’re mistaken, ah, I’m just a fellow cultivator and, you could say, a sparring partner to him."
Hearing this explanation, Chu Wu beca even more puzzled. He understood friends, but ’sparring partner’ was sothing bizarre to him. He said:
"Jun Wu Xiao, are you really hitting her? She’s so beautiful, and you dare to strike her? Are you even a man?"
"I am not..." Jun Wu Xiao began.
He ant to add "I am a cultivator," but before he could, Chu Wu crossed his arms in front of his chest, stepping back and saying:
"Or do you prefer n?"
Dao San Qian, hearing this, also beca wary of Jun Wu Xiao. At this mont, he looked like he felt uneasy being close to his friend. But he only made exaggerated expressions for fun, in the month go together, he also understood a part of Jun Wu Xiao’s personality.
Jun Wu Xiao’s face was utterly dark at this ti. Before he could speak, he was interrupted. And now everyone thinks that he likes n. He imdiately said:
"Have you been cultivating seriously lately?"
Jun Wu Xiao changed the topic because he felt that the more he talked, the more he lost, so it was best to stop.
"Eh, yes, of course, I haven’t missed a single day." Chu Wu was taken aback, suddenly thrown off by the change of topic.
"Hmph, I’d hardly hit you, old man..." Jun Wu Xiao retorted.
Chu Wu knew what Jun Wu Xiao intended to explain and decided to preemptively stop him. Letting him explain would take away all the fun. He feigned horror and said:
"Ah, you don’t want to hit because you desire my body, right?"
Yue Guang and Dao San Qian also turned back to stare at Jun Wu Xiao.
"Damn it, Chu Wu. Just wait for , I’m not hitting you now because I’m afraid this frail body of yours can’t take it. Once you break through, I’ll make sure to beat you so bad you won’t leave your bed for days." Jun Wu Xiao cursed, unable to hold back any longer.
At this point, Chu Wu felt slightly apprehensive about his forthcoming breakthrough, but he figured he still had over twenty years until that happened. He hoped that by then, Jun Wu Xiao would have forgotten today’s incident.
"Alright, alright. I’ll stop teasing you. My na is Chu Wu. Since these two are your friends, they’re my friends too." Chu Wu said.
He didn’t need to ask to know Dao San Qian was a friend of Jun Wu Xiao. His earlier pretending to evasive behavior had already revealed his identity.
"I am Yue Guang, pleased to et you."
"I am Dao San Qian, pleased to et you."
They introduced themselves in turn.
"Buy whatever you like today, I’ll pay. After all, I’m not short of a little money." Chu Wu said.
The two were montarily stunned. Although Dao San Qian had had so money last month, he was now penniless. In other words, out of the suddenly impoverished trio, an unexpected tycoon had erged, which felt quite unusual to them.
Upon reaching the entrance of the clothing store, Chu Wu said:
"We’re here, pick whatever clothes you like. But don’t tell you’re going to buy the entire store."
"We know, we know, just a few dozen sets of clothes will be enough." Jun Wu Xiao replied.
"Good, then feel free to choose as you like." Chu Wu said.
The three of them began to select clothes, with Jun Wu Xiao and Yue Guang choosing mostly white garnts, while Dao San Qian opted for a variety of colors.
"Jun Wu Xiao, you and she live on the mountain and like white? Aren’t you afraid of getting dirty?" Chu Wu asked.
"What colors I like has nothing to do with where I live." Jun Wu Xiao retorted.
"Ah, that makes sense. There’s a place nearby to wash up. Go take a bath and change your clothes." Chu Wu said.
"Alright, wait for a mont." Jun Wu Xiao replied before leaving.
A mont later he returned, now looking much younger and brighter than before. Looking at him now, it was like two completely different people.
"Ah, it’s been so long since I’ve seen you looking handso like that." Yue Guang comnted.
"Ha ha, of course I’m handso. That Chu Wu can’t compare to ." Jun Wu Xiao boasted, hoping to salvage so pride after a day of defeats by leveraging his good looks.
"Huh, you think because you’re not as skilled as , you can rely on that face of yours to win? I spit on that idea." Chu Wu disdainfully remarked.
But Jun Wu Xiao wasn’t going to let Chu Wu’s scorn rob him of this victory. He retorted:
"Ha ha, you’re admitting I win this ti. This face is part of my strength, how can it not be considered a talent?"
"Let’s get to the main point. This ti you want to capture which emperor?" he continued.
Everyone was paying serious attention at this ti, the exciting drama they had been waiting for was about to arrive.
"An emperor from a kingdom situated in very complex terrain. An army moving there would be very disadvantaged, difficult to make an advance. That’s why I need you to capture him." Chu Wu explained.
Jun Wu Xiao nodded, understanding that only such challenging targets required his help. He asked:
"When do we depart?"
"There’s no ti to delay. I’ll imdiately prepare the troops, and we will set off in a few days." Chu Wu responded.
Jun Wu Xiao nodded, and then the four of them made their way back to prepare for their mission to capture the emperor.
