She was a princess by status, but in her mind, she preferred to choose beautiful items rather than the most expensive ones.
As she navigated through the crowd, she was thoroughly enjoying trying on different accessories at the stalls.
She weaved through the crowd, joyfully trying on items at each stall.
"Xiao Zhang, help me pick one," Yu Yunxi said with a smile.
"Sure, no problem." Tan Yun responded with a smile and gestured for the shopkeeper to take down a jade hairpin that was entirely emerald green.
"You have a good eye, young man!" The stall owner, who appeared to be about sixty, said with a laugh. "The jade used to craft this hairpin is the finest Heart-Connecting Divine Jade in the world. Not only is the jade good, but the quality is also excellent; it would be perfect for your lady."
"Uh... lady..." Tan Yun was taken aback, while Yu Yunxi's heart raced, her cheeks blooming with color.
She laughed and said, "Boss, I’ll take this one. I really like the hairpin he chose."
"Alright, alright." The stall owner happily handed the hairpin to Yu Yunxi.
"How much is it, boss?" Tan Yun asked.
"Three hundred thirty million Ancestor Stones, but I'll charge you three hundred million." The stall owner replied.
"Thank you." After Tan Yun promptly paid the Ancestor Stones, the stall owner added, "How about choosing some other jewelry for your lady?"
"That stall owner, she actually isn't..." Before Tan Yun could finish his awkward sentence, Yu Yunxi smiled and said, "Boss, I don’t need any others."
After that, Yu Yunxi took Tan Yun and left the stall.
"Yunxi, if you keep pulling me like this, what if someone recognizes you?" Tan Yun whispered.
"Ah, don’t worry," Yu Yunxi chuckled. "I hardly ever go out, how could it be so coincidental that someone bumps into me?"
Just as Yu Yunxi finished speaking, a furious voice rang out, "Xiao Zhang, let go of your filthy hands!"
"Whoosh—"
In the next moment, a remarkably handsome young man appeared in front of Tan Yun; he was Qi Kong, who was already at the daoist realm sixth layer.
"It's Young Master Qi..."
"Yes..."
"…"
The crowd looked at Qi Kong with awe in the eyes of the older people, admiration in the eyes of the youth, and infatuation from the girls and young women.
"Everyone else, stay away from here!" Qi Kong fixed his gaze on Tan Yun, his voice leaving no room for doubt.
In the blink of an eye, the area within a radius of ten thousand feet became empty.
As the crowd speculated about what was happening, they found that Qi Kong had set up a barrier, making it impossible to see the scene inside.
Inside the barrier.
Qi Kong glared at Tan Yun, his eyes filled with a hatred that seemed like he wished to tear him apart!
"Qi Kong, open your eyes and see clearly," Yu Yunxi said coldly. "It’s this princess holding Xiao Zhang's hand, not him holding this princess. Why are you yelling at him?"
"And even if he were holding this princess's hand, what’s it to you?"
"What are you to this princess?"
Hearing this, Qi Kong's heart burned with anger, but he dared not show it. He bowed and said, "Seventh Princess, I was worried he might take advantage of you."
"Heh, I'm also quite drunk," Tan Yun suddenly flipped his right hand and took Yu Yunxi's delicate hand, mocking, "What now? I really am holding Yunxi's hand. What can you do to me?"
"You dog slave, you..." Qi Kong was speechless with rage.
"What about me?" Tan Yun sneered. "Do you want to kill me? But what right do you have!"
"Who do you think you are, to meddle in Yunxi's affairs? Or do you think you can win the challenge for marriage five thousand years from now?"
"Alright, even if you could win, Yunxi would only be your wife five thousand years from now; can you control her now?"
Hearing this, Qi Kong roared, "You dog slave, you’re looking for death..."
As Qi Kong was about to make a move, before Yu Yunxi could speak, a shadow suddenly appeared behind Tan Yun.
The shadow was none other than Dao Qing Grandmaster!
"Qi Kong, right?" Dao Qing Grandmaster enunciated, "Get lost!"
