Chapter 199: Inviting Guests for a Meal, Not Responsible for Chen Changsheng’s Expenses
“Xiancha, there are so many people here!”
Chen Shisan wandered his bright eyes around the bustling street, as if he wanted to memorize everything before him.
Facing Chen Shisan’s situation of never having seen much of the world, Qian Bao’er immediately cast a disdainful look at Chen Changsheng.
“Xiancha, your status is high enough that it doesn’t need to be mentioned.”
“There is one thing I’m very curious about. Before I met Shisan, he should have been with you for some time.”
“You didn’t take him out to experience the world properly, did you?”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng’s face flashed with a guilty expression.
At the time of leaving Gold Mountain City, his mind was focused on other matters and he had no time to take Chen Shisan to see the human world.
After arriving in the Northern Desert, he deliberately took them to remote wilderness areas.
So accurately speaking, this was Chen Shisan’s first visit to a large city.
Thinking of this, Chen Changsheng coughed twice and said, “A cultivator should discard external temptations.”
“Previously, I didn’t take Shisan out to play because I was afraid he would be disturbed.”
“Now I’ve brought him here.”
Regarding Chen Changsheng’s explanation, Qian Bao’er rolled her eyes, seemingly not believing his words.
Having been together for a long time, Qian Bao’er had gotten to know this “Xiancha” somewhat.
In major matters, Xiancha was always decisive and strategic.
But in some “minor” matters, this Xiancha was quite unreliable.
Chen Shisan’s clothes had only two sets from beginning to end, and they were even worn white from washing.
If she hadn’t spent money buying him a few new outfits, Qian Bao’er seriously doubted that Chen Shisan could wear those two sets until the end of time.
“Just do as Xiancha says.”
“Also, does Xiancha have any other arrangements now?”
“If not, I’ll take them both to buy some clothes first.”
“After so many battles, they’re almost out of clothes. If this continues, they’ll only be able to wear beast skins.”
“No arrangements!”
Chen Changsheng bluntly answered Qian Bao’er and kindly added,
“Go play, go play boldly. I’ve already prepared the travel expenses for the two of them.”
“I also need a rest; maintaining spiritual sense contact is tiring.”
“If needed, just call me.”
With that, Chen Changsheng threw a beast skin bag to Qian Bao’er and then transformed into a beam of light, entering the True Martial Sword.
Seeing this, Chen Shisan, who had been quite happy, suddenly became somewhat restrained.
He whispered, “Bao’er, aren’t the expenses in a big city quite high?”
“Although I said I would treat you to dinner, I don’t have much money on me, so can we save some later?”
Looking at Chen Shisan’s cautious manner, Qian Bao’er laughed sarcastically.
“Don’t think about it. With just a few taels of silver in your pocket, you probably can’t even enter the door.”
“This matter, Xiancha has already taken care of. The contents of this bag are the fierce beasts you hunted over the past half year.”
“Although the core parts have been eaten, the leftovers are still worth something.”
“In a way, you could say you have some wealth now.”
Hearing this, Chen Shisan instantly straightened his back.
“Then let’s quickly exchange this for money. I can’t go back on my word after promising to treat you to dinner.”
Looking at Chen Shisan’s slightly comical appearance, Qian Bao’er and Tianxuan both smiled and shook their heads.
This guy could be stubborn to d*ath at times, yet sometimes he would surprise you.
No matter which aspect, neither was as simple and silly as this one.

“Miss, here are three thousand grams of divine source. Please keep it safe.”
Having successfully obtained the money from selling the materials, Qian Bao’er handed two bags to Chen Shisan and Tianxuan.
“The total amount sold was three thousand grams of divine source.”
“I contributed during the hunt, so I should get a share too. These two portions are yours.”
Tianxuan casually glanced at the bag Qian Bao’er handed him and then put it away.
Even though the Xuan Bird Clan was currently in dire straits, as the young clan leader, Tianxuan didn’t consider such a small sum of money worth mentioning.
As for Qian Bao’er…
She was even less concerned. As a minor official of the Wanfeng Merchant Association, she had extremely abundant resources at her disposal.
For divine source, her storage magic treasure contained a full thirty thousand grams.
A few days ago, when Chen Shisan was severely injured, Qian Bao’er fed him several pills, each costing three thousand grams of divine source.
The mere twelve hundred grams of divine source were nothing to her.
Unlike the others’ indifference, Chen Shisan was delighted and said to himself,
“Bao’er, which restaurant here is the best?”
Seeing Chen Shisan’s determined look, Qian Bao’er smirked.
“Since you insist on treating us, let’s not be polite.”
“The Eight Treasure Restaurant on the street has excellent food. We can try it.”
“Great, let’s go to the Eight Treasure Restaurant!”
Chen Shisan said excitedly and then walked out briskly.
Watching Chen Shisan’s back, Tianxuan said, “Have you ever told him that each dish at the Eight Treasure Restaurant starts at one gram of divine source?”
“No.”
With this answer, the corners of Tianxuan’s mouth curled up slightly.
“You doing this will make Shisan feel quite pained.”
“That’s exactly what I want. It’s time to change his stingy habit.”
“Every time he eats, he acts like he wants to lick the bowl clean.”
“If he doesn’t change this habit, I’ll probably go crazy!”
As Qian Bao’er followed Chen Shisan, …
Eight Treasure Restaurant.
“We’d like one dish of red-beaked green parrot.”
“Sure thing, sir. Would you like anything else?”
“No more.”
Hearing this, the waiter standing by was stunned, then asked suspiciously, “Sir, are you all eating just one dish?”
“We brought our own provisions, one dish is enough.”
Qian Bao’er and Tianxuan: “…”
Waiter: “…”
Coming to the Eight Treasure Restaurant to order one dish and then bringing your own provisions? What are you thinking?
All the patrons here are cultivators, you shouldn’t be this frugal, right?
Looking at Chen Shisan’s serious expression and the waiter’s disdainful gaze, Qian Bao’er couldn’t help it anymore.
She pushed Chen Shisan’s face aside without expression and said,
“Just ignore him. Listen to me now.”
“Bring me one portion of each of the Eight Treasure Restaurant’s signature dishes, and we’ll also have a pot of eighty-year-old bamboo leaf green wine.”
“Remember, don’t try to fool me with wine that isn’t old enough, or you’ll be sorry.”
Hearing Qian Bao’er’s words, the waiter immediately smiled broadly and said, “Sure thing, sir. Please wait!”
