Athena knew that Hu Niu wouldn't mind any joke, but as long as it involved Ye Lang, then it was different. Also, if anyone threatened her relationship with Ye Lang, she would be on guard.
However, what she couldn't understand was that the relationship Hu Niu wanted was very simple. It was as simple as serving her young master, and nothing else.
"You really are a vixen. Hu Niu, let's ignore her. Come, let's go out for a walk!" Ye Lang pulled Hu Niu and left, ignoring Athena.
"Hmph, you dare call me a vixen? However, what does this vixen mean? Young Master … "Athena decided to waste time with Ye Lang today. She wanted to understand the meaning of the vixen.
This wasn't the first time Ye Lang called her a vixen. Although she didn't know what this term meant, it was obviously not something good. It was a curse.
Regarding this point, Ye Lang had said with certainty that this was a scolding, a scolding of some shameless women.
However, Ye Lang still didn't say what exactly this vixen meant. It wasn't that Ye Lang didn't want to tell Athena, but he himself was a bit confused. Vixen had completely different meanings at different times.
Vixens first appeared as auspicious signs. In ancient times, there was a group of clans with foxes as their totem, and according to legend, Yu the Great married and had children because of a nine-tailed white fox, which was how the founding emperor of the Xia Dynasty came into being.
Foxes were the most revered in the pre-Qin and Han Dynasties, and were even ranked as one of the four great auspicious signs along with dragons, qilins, and phoenixes!
In Han Dynasty stone carvings and brick paintings, there were often nine-tailed foxes, white rabbits, toads, and green birds beside the Queen Mother of the West to show auspiciousness. Some people concluded that foxes had three virtues: soft fur, which was in line with the doctrine of moderation; small at the front and large at the back, which was in line with the hierarchy; and when they died, they faced their own cave, which was not forgetting their roots.
Foxes lived very comfortably in the two thousand years from Xia to Han!!
After Han Dynasty, the status of vixen as auspicious signs dropped sharply. All the good words about foxes were gone, and what remained were some undignified words, such as suspicious, vixen, and smelly, which almost became the home of derogatory terms. After a long time, vixen became the synonym for having a problematic lifestyle, and became a famous lewd beast that still hadn't recovered.
What a pitiful vixen. Who knew when she would be rehabilitated? It would probably be very difficult.
There was once a person who wrote about a vixen so perfectly, but the situation did not change, and that person seemed to be Pu Songling …
Ye Lang wasn't very clear about this. He was sure that if Athena asked him again, he would tell her the story of Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio. That way, she would understand what a fox spirit meant.
After the incident, Ye Lang had indeed done so, and Athena had fallen in love with the title of Vixen. She had even asked Ye Lang to call her Vixen. At that time, Ye Lang had been a little troubled.
She was a fine young lady, how could she call her a vixen?
Of course, Ye Lang still cried out in the end, because he was just a little embarrassed. Compared to Athena, he felt that Athena made him feel even more embarrassed.
Anyway, no one in this world knew the meaning of the fox spirit, so it was not a big problem!
Vixen, Athena, Athena, vixen …
Ye Lang didn't know that he had rehabilitated the vixen in this world. In the future, a vixen was a compliment to a girl. It was the embodiment of beauty, wisdom, kindness, and other virtues.
A noun could have completely different meanings depending on the era, so it was normal for it to be different in another world!
…
"Hu Niu, is there an auction house nearby?" Ye Lang wanted to squander again. He now had the capital to squander again. After the robbery at the medical practice, no, after receiving the money, the wealth he possessed was very terrifying.
Speaking of which, all the materials he had used to squander seemed to have been used here. Was this considered squandering or earning money?
This was something that no one could explain clearly!
Ye Lang only wanted to squander fiercely now and stuff his Spatial Ring to the brim, so it would no longer be empty!
"No …" Hu Niu shook her head. This was the Tiger Tribe, so how could there be an auction house? Only a human tribe would have one.
In the tribe, most people liked to barter in exchange for what they needed. There was no fixed price between them, so how could there be an auction house in this kind of place?
Obviously, it was not possible!!
"So boring, then let's go to the market …" Ye Lang said. He prepared to go shopping.
The market was a good place. There would often be people using useless things to exchange for things, and these things that were useless to them were often very useful to Ye Lang.
Therefore, Ye Lang had basically been hanging around the market during this period of time!
"Uncle, uncle, this, this, this, I want it! What? I don't have anything to exchange, use gold coins … "
Ye Lang's voice appeared in the market. He seemed to have found a lot of good things. Of course, he didn't have anything to exchange, but fortunately, gold coins could still be used here.
Gold was a hard currency. No matter what era or place, it could be used as money!
In fact, other than bartering in the market, one could also use items to exchange for gold, so one could naturally use gold to exchange for other items.
In the market, there was an official purchasing place of the tribe that specialized in buying things that people didn't have. These things would be transported to the human tribe to be sold, and the money they earned would be invested in construction, not taking a single cent.
This was the pure place of the beastmen. They wouldn't have any selfish motives. This could be seen from Hu Niu's house. As a chief, the place she lived was no different from that of a normal family.
"Wa, this, this … I want this!" Ye Lang's eyes lit up as he looked at something, looking as if he had found a treasure.
Hu Niu and Athena followed Ye Lang's gaze and saw a stall with some beast hides on it. Some of the beast hides were very high quality fur.
However, with Hu Niu's understanding of Ye Lang, she knew that Ye Lang wasn't interested in things like fur. She thought that these beast hides could be used to make some kind of material, which was why Ye Lang was so excited.
"Boss, how much for this!" Ye Lang said, pointing at one of the beast hides.
"This? What can you exchange with me? "the owner of the stall asked.
"I only have gold coins!" Ye Lang answered very directly.
"Gold coins? Then give me one gold coin. " The person selling the beast hides didn't seem to know much about gold coins, and casually asked for one. He had heard that these beast hides were worth about this much.
High quality fur was worth more than one gold coin, and could even be worth a few dozen gold coins!
