At the foot of Yunju Mountain, both sides of the road from Jinwu Castle to Whitedragon Town were crowded with peddlers who set various booths. The closer it was to Jinwu Castle, the more people there would be and the more advanced the items would be.
Translator: WQL Editor: Aleem Zhang Tie remembered that it was bare when he left Hidden Dragon Island; however, it had been covered with a large area of buildings in uniform styles, including boites, shops, workshops and markets. It looked like a downtown area in the city.
Jinwu Castle was located in the core of those buildings like a landmark. Jinwu Castle was surrounded by a beautiful fountain square.
If not the three dazzling words on the gate of Jinwu Castle, Zhang Tie almost didn't believe that this was the place that he was familiar with.
"Wow, I've not imagined that there's such a beautiful place in Hidden Dragon Island. I thought that all the places for fighters to cultivate were in the wild." Fiona was also amazed by everything in front of her.
They always lived in the city. In their life circle, they could only touch beautiful clothes, cosmetics, gourmet food and daily necessities of most people. However, Jinwu Castle sold various medicaments, potions, armors, weapons, special ornaments, survival tools and items made of special body parts of underground mutated beasts. It was an eye-opener for the three women. They felt as if they had come to another world.
All the three women were thrilled.
At the sight of such a scene, Zhang Tie didn't rush to enter Jinwu Castle; instead, he took the three women to wander among those shops and stalls outside Jinwu Castle.
"Ahh, what's this?" In a shop window, Beverly caught sight of a sparkling necklace with magnificent patterns. At once, her eyes shone. Fiona and Linda also moved closer to her.
"Miss, you have a good taste. This is a fire-dragon crystal necklace that has just been polished in our shop. If you wear it, you will definitely look very beautiful! " Realizing that the three women were interested in that necklace, a 16-17-year-old female clerk hurriedly walked over here and introduced it to them. They were Warriors who came to the island to level up. There weren't many ordinary people who dared to come here for vacation.
When the salesgirl walked towards him, Zhang Tie threw a glance at her age and temperament. Her age and temperament reminded Zhang Tie of those junior sister apprentices who worked in Zhixing Department.
Similarly, the female clerk also glanced at Zhang Tie. A 16-17 year old Chinese teenager hugging three foreign beauties of different ages was also very eye-catching. Additionally, Fiona, Beverly and Fiona were not ordinary at the sight of them.
Additionally, Fiona, Beverly and Linda didn't look any different than before. Zhang Tie's look remained unchanged compared to before; however, Fiona, Beverly and Linda looked more mature. In the eyes of outsiders, Zhang Tie was really too young when he stayed with the three women. He was totally like the younger brother of Fiona and Beverly. Even if Zhang Tie called Linda auntie, nobody would feel it inappropriate. However, the three women all acted like they were Zhang Tie's women, which created a powerful qi field for Zhang Tie.
"Ahh, what's a fire-dragon crystal?" After staying in Huaiyuan Prefecture for a few years, although Fiona, Beverly and Linda had been very proficient in Hua language, they were still confused about these strange terms.
Before the female clerk opened her mouth, Zhang Tie had already walked to their side and explained it to them with a smile, "Fire-Dragon crystal is a crystal formed by a special species in magma in the underground world. It's not very precious. However, the king snake, one of the top 8 living beings in the underground world, would always swallow this crystal. After staying in the king snake's stomach for a long time, these crystals would turn into fire-dragon crystals and become precious."
"Ahh, how could the king snake swallow the crystal?" Linda asked out of curiosity.
"The king snake is a cold-blooded mutated beast. Like how snakes on the earth's surface would drill out of the dark places to bathe in the sun, the king snake likes to swallow this crystal. It's said that this crystal could make the king snake feel warm like bathing in the sun. Some people say that the king snake uses crystals to cultivate. After killing the king snake, people could gain this crystal from the king snake's stomach. This crystal could calm people's mind. It's cool to wear it in the daytime and warm at night. Feeling the qi of this crystal, some insects on the ground would not approach the person wearing this crystal!"
"Ahh, isn't it the thing in the king snake's body? Why is it called dragon?"
Zhang Tie revealed a smile, "This is the cultural tradition of Hua people. Sometimes, snakes are also called small dragons by Hua people. In the legend of Hua people, dragons could evolve from snakes!"
The three women understood it right away. Given their looks, Zhang Tie realized that they might like this fire-dragon crystal necklace very much. Zhang Tie didn't ask about the price; instead, he told the clerk, "Please, I want three top-quality fire-dragon crystal necklaces. Don't take them out of the counter. I know that you only sell good fire-dragon crystal necklaces to knowledgeable people. Generally, you don't put them in the counter!"
Hearing that Zhang Tie was knowledgeable, the clerk glanced at him with a strange look. After that, he turned around and entered the counter. After whispering something to another clerk, he returned to the room. After half a minute, he came out with a tray with three brilliant fire-dragon crystal necklaces.
Compared to those fire-dragon crystal necklaces on the counter, the new fire-dragon crystal necklaces looked much more advanced.
Zhang Tie directly picked up the three fire-dragon crystal necklaces and put them on for the three women. After that, he asked the clerk, "How much?"
"Each fire-dragon crystal necklace is 200 gold coins. Three necklaces are 600 gold coins in total!"
Zhang Tie pretended to put it in his pocket; actually, he took out a gold check of 1000 gold coins from Golden Roc Bank from Castle of Black Iron and gave it to the clerk.
The clerk took the gold check carefully, "Please wait for a second!"
"Fine!"
The shop assistant was in the shop, so she asked another girl in the shop to go outside and ask someone to appraise it.
Linda, Beverly and Fiona then looked at other items in the store.
After waiting for less than 1 minute, a 30-odd man walked in. After taking the gold check, he carefully identified it. After that, he nodded towards the clerk and exchanged it for 10 gold checks with the face value of 100 gold coins. After that, he left.
Zhang Tie found four gold checks of Golden Roc Bank, each of which was worth 100 gold coins. This gold check was almost the smallest among all the gold checks. After taking the gold checks, Zhang Tie was going to walk out with the other women. At this moment, a woman entered the store. They then encountered each other at the gate of the store.
"Ah, junior sister Guo, what a coincidence..." Zhang Tie blinked his eyes as he greeted that woman.
"Zhang Tie!" Guo Miaolu widely opened her eyes like seeing a ghost in the daytime.
"Hahahaha, after a few years, junior sister Guo, you look more beautiful!"
At this time, compared with four years ago, Guo Miaolu had grown a lot taller, and her figure was more plump. She wore a beautiful black female warrior dress, kept short hair, had a big chest, a slim waist, and long legs, and was full of a healthy and capable aura. At that time, Guo Miaolu was like a big sister among the group of girls. Today, Guo Miaolu was like a strong woman, and there was no trace of the immature appearance she had when she was in Zhixing Courtyard.
"Is it really you?" At the sight of Zhang Tie once again, Guo Miaolu was full of shock; especially at the sight of Zhang Tie's unchanged look and the disgusting smile on his face, she couldn't help but want to pinch Zhang Tie's face to check whether it was real or not.
Zhang Tie didn't move; instead, he just allowed Guo Miaolu to pinch his face.
"Haha, I haven't seen you for a few years. I didn't expect Junior Sister Guo to have become so bold. You didn't dare to touch me before, but now you dare to touch my face in broad daylight. Could it be that Junior Sister Guo had a crush on me before?"
Guo Miaolu blushed as she hurriedly moved her hand back. She finally confirmed that this guy in front of her was the guy who had disappeared for 3 years. Previously, Guo Miaolu wanted to say something; however, after noticing the three beautiful women on Zhang Tie's side and recalling those gossips about Zhang Tie, she changed her words at once, "You b * stard, you're still so glib!"
Zhang Tie waved his hand, "Well, I know you all want to beat me up. Just do it in the evening. Junior sister Guo, please call all the people who want to beat me up in Hidden Dragon Palace. We will not go back until we're drunk in Jinwu Castle!"
"You want to order me around? Why don't you call them when you're back?" Guo Miaolu glared at Zhang Tie.
Zhang Tie rubbed his nose bashfully, "Erm... I will tell you in the evening. All in all, I cannot enter Hidden Dragon Palace now! I have to go back to Jinwu Castle and have people prepare for it... "
"Alright then!"
Zhang Tie waved his hand before leaving with Linda, Fiona and Fiona. Before leaving, Fiona turned around and threw a glance at Guo Miaolu.
