Xiuxian: Beautiful Women Like Clouds

Chapter 1132 Wishful thinking

Lu Hao walked along the bustling street, his gaze fixed on the delicate pink center of the Blue Enchantress rose. He couldn't understand why the flower was called the Blue Enchantress, since pink and blue were clearly unrelated.

"We've just received a batch of rare and precious magical treasures! They're in excellent condition, so don't miss out!" a servant shouted energetically at the door.

"A rare magical artifact!" Lu Hao stopped in his tracks, hesitated slightly, but still went inside to choose a magical artifact as a gift for his future mother-in-law.

"Sir, you have excellent taste! Our shop is notorious on this street for being honest and trustworthy, and our quality is top-notch." The waiter eagerly led the way.

Lu Hao slowly stepped into the store. The interior was extremely luxurious, with soft cushions on the floor and many exquisite decorations on the walls.

His gaze swept across the room and was immediately drawn to the proprietress standing behind the counter. She was about thirty years old, with a voluptuous figure, captivating curves, and radiant, full skin, like a ripe peach. Every gesture she made exuded a seductive charm.

All the men in the shop were completely captivated by the beautiful woman's every move.

As a man who always considered himself a gentleman, Lu Hao was naturally unwilling to fall behind and wanted to go forward to communicate and exchange ideas, but he simply couldn't squeeze in.

"Madam Liu, please help me choose a protective sword!" A refined-looking cultivator said with a smile to the beautiful woman.

"Do you want the big sword or the small sword?" Madam Liu asked with a charming smile, biting her bright red lips.

"Of course we want the greatsword!" everyone joined in the commotion, and everyone burst into laughter.

Madam Liu has a very forthright personality. She just smiled and didn't take the jokes from some of the guests to heart, and did her best to serve every customer well.

However, without exception, all the male cultivators who were selecting spiritual treasures were treated like fat sheep and ruthlessly fleeced by this charming woman. Many of them tried to take advantage of her but were thwarted.

"This lightning bolt is so big and so round! How could anyone bear to grab it?" Lu Hao exclaimed in surprise.

"What's so big!" At this moment, there were fewer people in the store. Madam Liu gracefully walked to Lu Hao's side and said in a sweet voice.

"I'm talking about this Heavenly Fire Thunder. Look how big it is," Lu Hao said, holding up a Heavenly Fire Thunder he was examining and turning to Madam Liu.

"Young master, these are just some ordinary magical treasures. The rarer ones are in the underground vault. If you are interested, you can come down with me to take a look," Madam Liu said with a light laugh, covering her mouth.

“Of course I’m interested. You lead the way!” Lu Hao nodded with a smile.

"I don't know how to address you, young master!" Madam Liu said softly as she led the way.

"My name is Meng De!" Lu Hao casually gave a fake name.

"What a sharp and incisive name! It's truly refreshing and incredibly pleasant to hear," Madam Liu couldn't help but exclaim.

“I also think this name is really good, I like it very much.” Lu Hao nodded and continued to follow behind.

"Your Excellency is so young, yet possesses an extraordinary demeanor and refined speech; you must be of extremely noble status." Madam Liu had seen countless people, but Lu Hao gave her a vague and unfathomable feeling.

"I guess you could call it an ordinary job. Every day, I'm just responsible for making eyeworks morning and night, until the high mountains and flowing water come out," Hao said lazily, his arms clasped around the leader, Shao.

"Could it be that your family are cultivators who search for spiritual springs in the mountains?" Madam Liu's beautiful eyes lit up. In the cultivation world, there is a lineage that specializes in exploring underground spiritual springs, and these cultivators are all extremely wealthy.

“Uh…” Lu Hao was taken aback upon hearing this, then nodded and acknowledged his identity.

The two chatted enthusiastically, and Lu Hao's boasting skills improved, making Madam Liu very happy.

Lu Hao followed closely behind Madam Liu, circling left and right, before finally sliding into a narrow passage.

They walked along the path, passing through a curtain of light, before finally arriving at two heavy doors.

Madam Liu gently pressed a purple lightning spot protruding from a sphere, and two heavy doors opened, instantly emitting a dazzling array of colors.

Lu Hao glanced around and saw that the warehouse was filled with all kinds of precious magical treasures, each one shimmering with a hazy light, clearly not ordinary items.

"What a wonderful treasure!" Lu Hao couldn't help but exclaim.

"Of course, our shop is the most established and powerful in this trading market. Many cultivators consign their treasures to our shop for sale or sell them to us," Madam Liu said with a smile, a hint of pride on her face.

"You, a woman, dare to bring me to such a dangerous place as the underground parking garage? Aren't you afraid I'll rob you?" Lu Hao said, his eyes narrowing slightly, half-jokingly.

"I can accept you taking my body, but you absolutely cannot take these treasures from me." Madam Liu covered her delicate body, pretending to be pitiful.

In fact, Lu Hao knew that he couldn't possibly thwart it, because there were simply too many formations, one after another, and breaking through them would take a lot of time.

"Let's get down to business first. I need to give a magical artifact to an elder of mine," Lu Hao said with a serious expression.

"It should be a woman!" Madam Liu seemed to be able to see through Lu Hao's thoughts.

"Yes!" Lu Hao didn't hide anything and explained his mother-in-law's situation.

"I suggest you give her this Ruyi Clam. It is forged from thousand-year-old cold iron and is extremely practical. It would be perfect for your mother-in-law," Madam Liu said with a smile, holding a small stick that was a dozen centimeters long in her jade-like hand.

"Are you sure I won't get beaten up if I deliver this thing?" Lu Hao asked, his eyes wide with disbelief.

“This magic weapon is no cheap item. How could it let you get hit? Moreover, this Ruyi Clam can defend against powerful enemies when things are in trouble, and when things are peaceful, it can also… be hidden in one’s empty heart.” Madam Liu said softly to Lu Hao.

"And this crystal rod is made of earth fire gold. I'm sure your mother-in-law will love it." Madam Liu said with a smile, playing with the small crystal rod in her hand.

"Are you sure I won't get a beating if I give this to someone?" Lu Hao asked, staring wide-eyed at the crystal rod that was only a few inches long.

"Don't worry, these two items are not ordinary things. They will surely make your mother-in-law very happy and she will love them. Besides, your son is so handsome, how could she bear to hit you? And women understand women best, so trust me, I'm sure I'm right," Madam Liu hurriedly explained.

"Hmm, that makes some sense!" After hesitating for a while, Lu Hao finally nodded in agreement.

"Tell me, how many spirit stones?" Lu Hao asked, toying with the shimmering crystal rod in his hand.

"Two hundred and fifty thousand spirit stones!" Madam Liu said with a smile.

"What? You're fucking rip-off!" Lu Hao was startled. Even as a high-level cultivator, he couldn't possibly take out so many spirit stones so easily, especially since he was often ripped off when buying things and had very little left.

"Have you seen it? They always say my sister is dark-skinned, but where is she dark-skinned?" Madam Liu said coquettishly, pulling on Lu Hao's arm.

Lu Hao felt a surge of emotions welling up in his eyes, and he almost fainted from being shaken by the other party.
