Chapter 16 Rutilated Quartz
"Xiao San, go book a room at the Rose Hotel first. Xiao Wu and I will go shopping first."
—Luo Hao
Having finally arrived in Soto City under the scorching sun, Tang San, after handing over the registration fee to the gatekeeper, aimlessly wandered around the streets.
A wisp of golden feather drifted down from the sky and appeared in front of Tang San. Looking at the words written on it, Tang San was filled with confusion.
What happened to our promise of being good brothers?
What happened to her being my sister?
Why do I feel so sad?
Watching the feathers dissipate into golden light, Tang San felt extremely distressed, yet he was unable to vent his emotions.
"Sigh~"
After sighing, Tang San had no choice but to forgive them. He asked a passerby for directions and headed towards the Rose Hotel.
"Brother, come quick! Look, there's a shop over here that seems to be related to Soul Masters."
A pink coat concealed Xiao Wu's still-childish figure, but her slender waist was the envy of countless women.
Her long, beautiful black hair was braided into a long scorpion braid that hung down past her calves and swayed from side to side as Xiao Wu walked.
If this girl is an extraordinary young woman who is simply a beautiful girl who has not yet grown up, then the one next to her is an absolute handsome boy.
Her long, jet-black hair cascaded down her back, with a few sharp strands piercing her brows and disappearing into the ends of her hair.
His sharp, narrow eyes beneath his sword-like brows sent chills down the spines of those he looked at.
His jade-like face was exceptionally handsome, and his tall, muscular physique made him appear as if he were a majestic and valiant king, as radiant as the sun.
Although her clothes were ordinary, anyone with discerning eyes could see a noble air hidden behind her simple attire.
The boy arrogantly looked down at the crowds coming and going on the road. The crowds who had been attracted by Xiao Wu's lively and cute appearance dispersed under Luo Hao's gaze, feeling guilty.
Even the arrogant and domineering noblemen didn't dare to act recklessly under Luo Hao's gaze. The aura they had only ever seen on such important figures brought them back to their senses after they had been captivated by his beauty.
"Brother, look, they're all too scared to come over because of you."
After watching Luo Hao keep a cold face and drive away everyone who tried to approach him, Xiao Wu couldn't help but lean on Luo Hao and secretly chuckle.
"Hmph, my sister is so cute, what if some ignorant fools come and try to take advantage of her? Besides, some aristocratic children in these big cities are used to being arrogant and domineering. If you mess with them, it's easy to end up like the old man after the young one gets beaten up."
"If that's the case, then we might as well cut off this possibility completely at its source!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a murderous glint flashed in Luo Hao's eyes. If there were any passersby around, they would probably have noticed that the temperature within ten meters of Luo Hao dropped several degrees. And after Luo Hao finished speaking, the surrounding area became even more chilling.
"Hehehe, whatever you say, brother. It's not that I'm afraid someone will steal my cute little sister away and make me jealous."
With a mischievous smile on her face, Xiao Wu winked at Luo Hao in a provocative manner, then turned around and hopped into the store in front of her like a happy little rabbit.
"This little girl is getting bolder and bolder."
Luo Hao rubbed his face, which had been expressionless all day, and after his icy expression melted a little, he quickly followed.
"Wow, bro. So many things here emit soul energy fluctuations that look just like those from the Spirit Hall!"
Xiao Wu looked at the various strange-looking items on the store shelves that emitted soul power fluctuations and sighed with admiration.
"Generally speaking, items that emit soul power fluctuations are soul tools, which possess various strange abilities. Just like Xiao San's Twenty-Four Bridges Under the Moon, it has the ability to store items."
Luo Hao glanced at the items on the shelf and could tell that they weren't soul tools. Instead, it was the miserly Flander who had used his Soul Saint level cultivation to cover these ordinary items with a layer of soul power shield.
Looking at Flander, who was sitting in a recliner wearing black-rimmed glasses and pretending to be asleep, Luo Hao secretly scorned him. "A Soul Saint, indeed."
He only does things like making and selling counterfeit goods, instigating students to cause trouble and create disturbances, and the worst part is that he has a long, narrow face and is really stingy.
Putting aside everything else, even the food at Shrek Academy doesn't contain any meat at all. No wonder out of the seventy-odd geniuses who reached level twenty at the age of twelve, only a few actually graduated.
If you keep raising them like that, it's no wonder they'll become useless.
"However, this is clearly a different case."
When Luo Hao saw Xiao Wu reach out eagerly to take a closer look after hearing him say that there were soul tools here, he grabbed her unruly hands.
"Even in Qibao City, the capital of the two great empires and the home of the Qibao Glazed Tile School, the richest of the three sects, so many soul tools could not appear at once."
"How can there be so many in such a small place?"
"Yeah, how come there are so many?"
Xiao Wu also looked surprised.
Although Xiao Wu, who had attended school, was not very clear about the situation in the human world, she knew that even the two great empires and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School, which were the top forces on this continent, could not produce so many things. How could the Kingdom of Bakla have so many?
"Some Soul Masters, once they reach a sufficiently high level, can release their Soul Power for an extended period of time, leaving it outside. These items were created by the shop owner to deliberately deceive Soul Masters who are unfamiliar with Soul Tools."
Luo Hao explained casually, his eyes slowly scanning the store before finally settling on a piece of crystal with a mottled surface.
Luo Hao was overjoyed, but he didn't show it on his face and slowly picked it up.
"Boss, how much is this crystal?"
"One hundred gold soul coins."
Flander's voice drifted slowly from inside the shop.
"Are you out of your mind for money? It's one thing to stock your shop with a bunch of fake soul tools to swindle people, but you're asking for a hundred gold soul coins for this piece of junk crystal?! You…!"
"One hundred gold soul coins, I'll buy it."
Luo Hao pulled back Xiao Wu, who was furious and wanted to confront Flander, and took out a bag of gold soul coins and placed it on the table.
"Brother, are you crazy? This crystal looks filthy on the surface, and there are so many impurities inside. Even the most precious amethyst wouldn't be worth much in this condition."
Xiao Wu was somewhat incredulous and worried that Luo Hao had been scammed. After all, in Xiao Wu's eyes, Luo Hao had always been a cultivation fanatic, so it was understandable that he wouldn't know the price of things like crystals.
With her there, I can't let her brother get scammed.
Luo Hao smiled calmly and winked at Xiao Wu.
