"Is this juice made by you?" Huangpu Xin asked.
The young man nodded silently.
Huangpu Xin raised an eyebrow: "Did you do it yourself, or did someone teach you?"
The young man remained silent.
Huangpu Xin glanced at the madam, tossed her a silver ingot, and waved his hand.
The madam and Chunfang closed the door obediently and left.
Huangpu Xin ignored the old man's disdainful look and changed the subject, asking, "Can you do household chores?"
The young man was initially stunned, then nodded and said, "I can."
Huangpu Xin nodded and continued, "Can you cook? What can you make?"
"Um... I can make some simple home-cooked dishes, but I don't know how to make the ones that guests would eat..." The young man's voice was hesitant, clearly touching on his knowledge gap.
Huangpu Xin shook his head as if about to say something, but then he saw the young man quickly kneel down and plead, "I, I can learn! Please buy me! By the end of this year, they will send me to the beggar gang..."
The act of reaping what one has sown... Looking at the tears swirling in the young man's eyes, Huangpu Xin was reminded of the past.
Fortunately, he came to his senses in a moment and then said, "Get up!"
"Ah? Ah... yes..." The young man stood up shakily.
"Today I'm redeeming you, so you belong to me. No one is allowed to kneel to anyone in the future, got it!" Huangpu Xin said expressionlessly, as if seeing his past self begging the enemy.
"Okay, okay!" The young man felt the chilling gaze and nodded vigorously, afraid that Huangpu Xin would think he hadn't listened.
"Go and call someone in," Huangpu Xin said.
"Huh? Oh!" Zheng Yunyu hesitated for a moment before going out to call the maid over.
The madam followed in, accompanied by two strong men at the door, apparently afraid that Huangpu Xin would dine and dash. The serving girl came in without even looking at the table and said, "Two taels of gold for the meal, thank you for your patronage."
Huangpu Xin twitched at the corner of his mouth, didn't ask much, and threw out two taels of gold. Since he had plenty of storage space in his inventory, he exchanged everything for physical items, without exchanging for silver notes at all.
The old madam's eyes almost popped out. Just now, there were too many people downstairs, so she didn't see it clearly. Now she realized that this little brat from a different race might have a storage ring on him!
The madam's eyes flashed with a hint of fierceness, but as she caught sight of the city lord's mansion from the corner of her eye, she dismissed the thought. She just smiled and took out a contract from her bosom, handing it to Huangpu Xin. The three big characters at the top read "Indenture of Sale".
Huangpu Xin took it, then glanced at the madam who had taken him for a fool, and called out, "Let's go."
"Yes," Zheng Yunyu nodded.
After Huangpu Xin and Zheng Yunyu left, the madam bit the gold in her hand, knowing that she had made a profit today.
The nearby Chunfang looked somewhat complicated, pursed her lips and said sourly, "I never thought that burden would actually be bought."
"After all, it's Yunniang's product. With a little dressing up, who knows, maybe someone will like it? Hehehe..." Another girl, dressed similarly to Chunfang, covered her face and chuckled lightly.
There are also glamorous songstresses who lament in front of the mirror, "Ah, when will someone come to redeem us..."
"Keep dreaming!"
......
When the two of them came out for a stroll, they found that it was still early. The couple in the courtyard were probably being affectionate, and it would be inconvenient for an outsider like him to go back. It wouldn't be good to separate a courtyard, after all, he was just a young man on the surface.
After some thought, Huangpu Xin brought Zheng Yunyu to a ready-to-wear clothing store.
A tall, thin man greeted them, "Customer, ready-to-wear or custom-made?"
Huangpu Xin said, "Ready-made clothes will do for both of us." After trying on for a while, they both found a good fit.
Huangpu Xin looked at the unkempt Zheng Yunyu, shook his head, and asked the boss to pack the clothes. Leading him to an inn, having had the experience in Kunyu City, this time he didn't overpay for the room.
The two entered the Tianzi room and quickly took a bath. Although their bodies didn't sweat, Huangpu Xin felt uncomfortable. Moreover, Zheng Yunyu's dirty and black appearance was really unsightly.
After washing up, taking another look, hey, Zheng Yunyu is indeed a handsome young man with bright eyes, a prominent nose, deep facial features, and a tanned skin.
Maybe it's because of laziness, the young man, like Huangpu Xin, also has short hair and is dressed in a gray cloud-patterned suit. Huangpu Xin, on the other hand, is wearing a moon-white wide-sleeved robe with engraved exotic beasts.
As the saying goes, "Clothes make the man," and at this moment, Huangpu Xin is holding a precious sword in his arms, just like that.
Huangpu Xin looked at Zheng Yunyu, and Zheng Yunyu looked at Huangpu Xin, the two of them were lost in thought.
After a while, Huangpu Xin remembered that she didn't know how to write this person's name, so she asked, "Can you write characters?"
"I know a little, my mother taught me," Zheng Yunyu, who was changing after taking a bath, no longer had the ashes on his face to hide behind, and seemed a little shy.
"Write your name down, let me have a look," Huangpu Xin pointed to the paper and ink on the desk in the room.
Zheng Yunyu stepped forward, ground ink and mixed it with water, and awkwardly held the brush to write: Zheng Yunyu, the three characters appeared crookedly on the paper.
Huangpu Xin noticed his evasive gaze and judged, "Hmm... Yunyu... sounds okay, but it's strange to have that name in that kind of place. You must have been excluded a lot at Neon Tower because of your name, right..."
"Who gave you that name, your parents?" Huangpu Xin asked.
Zheng Yunyu shook his head and whispered, "I, I have never met my parents. I only know that my mother's surname is Zheng... and the name was given by Wang Mama."
Huangpu Xin The corner of his mouth twitched: "Is Wang Mama the old madam?"
Zheng Yunyu nodded.
Huangpu Xin rolled her eyes and said, "I can't control my surname and body, as they were given to me by my parents. But I can change the intimate relationship... Wait for me to take a look first..."
Huangpu Xin quickly searched her mind and found a research article on divination in the book "Eight or Nine Divination Techniques." Meanwhile, Zheng Yunyu sat there with a blank expression, holding a pen and standing still.
The sky was getting dark, and Huangpu Xin finally broke free from the task of naming. He was about to speak when he saw Zheng Yunyu still standing there foolishly, and couldn't help but say, "Why are you so silly? I didn't ask you to just sit and wait."
"Okay." He sat down only after getting permission.
Huangpu Xin finally spoke up: "Let's change the character 'Yun' to 'Yu', so it becomes 'Yunyu' - light as a floating swan, soaring straight to the Ninth Heaven!"
"Zheng Yunyu..." He repeated his name, as if the new name symbolized a fresh start.
Huangpu Xin just realized that he hadn't carefully read the techniques given by Master Bianyi. There were so many different categories inside. So he instructed, "If you're tired, go to sleep. I'm going to meditate."
"Okay."
"Good, do you really have the confidence?!" The speaker was a fierce bald man with a bare upper body and a beast skin wrapped around his lower body. At this moment, he was grabbing the collar of a skinny man and roaring.
Looking at the huge axe about to fall on his face, the man could only secretly wipe off the spatter on his face and smile wryly, saying, "Tom brother, please calm down. I just didn't expect someone to cut in front of me for a moment the other day, so I ended up losing."
"Tonight, just tonight, I will take action again tonight, and I will definitely succeed!" Good pledged, patting his chest.
"If you fail again, then adopt my aggressive approach," a woman's voice came from the corner, it was a woman in nightwear, her appearance unclear.
"No problem, Sister Bell. I just don't want everyone to be in danger," Good agreed.
"Rubbish! You're just worried about your sister! Except for you and your sister, who are in the support class, the rest of us are all in the combat class. What could possibly go wrong!?" The bald man named Tom threw his huge axe on the ground and cursed.
Good blinked and felt as if the room had shaken for a moment when the axe landed. He quickly said, "Take it easy, Tom bro, this is the second floor. If it falls and hurts someone, we'll have to start a war with the authorities."
After speaking, Good ignored the three people in the room and quickly went to the door to see if anyone was coming up to inquire. Fortunately, everything was normal.
"Hmph!" Tom snorted to express his dissatisfaction.
The fat man lying on the bed with glasses absentmindedly said, "Anyway, the strongest we've seen in the past few days are probably just third-level Eastern warriors. In my opinion, the world level here is probably inflated by those ancient relics or something like an alternative world. We just need to capture the daughter of a small city lord and get the job done, why bother with so many plans."
Although not explicitly stated, every sentence from the fat man seems to be mocking the uselessness of Good's plan, just like the people of him and his sister.
After taking a look, Good still had a smile on his face. The three shook their heads, and the bald one muttered, "Coward."
Good, who was about to leave, heard this and froze for a moment before leaving without saying a word.
