“You just stay here and watch. We’ll just make a few more trips later.”
Then, the vendor watched the two of them move things out of the warehouse trip after trip. At first, it was two boxes per person, but later, the girl even felt it was a bit slow and directly picked up three boxes, taller than herself.
The key was that she actually moved them, without showing any signs of effort, even appearing very relaxed, and walked out of the warehouse with brisk steps.
The male Cultivator later also switched to three boxes at a time.
Before long, the two of them had moved all thirty electric wheelchairs out.
“Done. Transferring the remaining balance to you.”
The vendor looked at the money that had been transferred, nodded, and was about to say something but hesitated.
“Alright, no need to see us off, we’re leaving.”
The two came and went in a hurry, greeting the vendor before walking to the entrance of the warehouse district. The vendor thought about it and still followed them, looking left and right at the entrance, but only saw the backs of two people riding shared bicycles. The girl was riding a bit wobbly, but she could manage to ride.
“Uh…”
It took him a long time to figure out where the problem was.
Shared bicycles, how do they transport goods?!
Where were those thirty boxes of goods?
“Did a van take them away?”
The vendor scratched his head, somewhat perplexed, turned around, locked the warehouse door, and left in confusion.
In reality, the two simply moved the boxes outside, then stored them in the qiankun bag, and then feigned running back to move the next load.
Who needed a truck? The qiankun bag could hold much more than a truck!
A truck couldn’t even pull a few excavators.
“Should we go back to that… that subway station, and then go home?”
“Take the subway, but not go home.”
An Chen only said that much, but didn’t tell Su Xiaojiu why.
The two took several more stops, and even specifically transferred lines.
“So, why exactly did you bring me here? Don’t keep me in suspense! I can’t stand that!”
Su Xiaojiu grabbed An Chen’s arm and shook it.
“Didn’t you ask for this?”
The two walked out of the subway station, An Chen said with a smile from the front.
“I asked for it?”
“Yeah, didn’t you say yesterday you were bored at home and wanted to go out and play? I promised to take you out tonight, didn’t I?”
“Oh, oh!”
Su Xiaojiu finally remembered, and smiled sweetly.
“So you brought me out to play, you should have said so earlier!”
An Chen gave a wry smile.
So this girl even forgot what she asked for?
“Then can I have some ice cream first?”
“Eating ice cream at night seems to easily cause stomach aches.”
“I’m a Cultivator, my stomach won’t hurt!”
“How about I buy you some milk tea? Girls in this world seem to prefer drinking this.”
Su Xiaojiu was stunned.
“Milk tea… Is it milk or tea?”
“Mixed together.”
“I want to try it!”
An Chen smiled and led Su Xiaojiu to the nearby Sweet Ice Snow City Milk Tea shop. He casually picked a popular drink from the menu and also ordered a lemonade.
Su Xiaojiu looked at the shop, and the more she looked, the more familiar it seemed.
She only remembered when she saw the menu—wasn’t this the same shop where An Chen took her for ice cream last time?
“Is there anything else you need?”
The Young Miss at the counter asked with a smile.
“No…”
“Yes, there is! I want an ice… I want two ice creams!”
Looking at the confused An Chen, Su Xiaojiu explained:
“Isn’t this for you too? Otherwise, if only I eat and you don’t, wouldn’t I appear very rude?”
An Chen was exasperated, and said grumpily:
“Yes, you treat, I pay.”
Su Xiaojiu only then realized her mistake, but there was nothing she could do, so she just scratched her head and stuck out her tongue.
“Never mind, it’s not a lot of money.”
An Chen was no longer a pauper, he could still afford these two-dollar ice creams.
After scanning the code to pay, the ice cream was ready shortly, and the two licked their ice cream while waiting for the milk tea.
“So, where are you planning to take me tonight?”
An Chen thought for a moment and said:
“Places to play in this city generally close at night, and the amusement park rides probably aren't very exciting for you.”
Roller coasters probably aren’t as fast as Cultivator flying on swords in the Cultivation World, right?
Just Grand Elder’s ugly bird, flying is more thrilling than most amusement park rides.
As for sightseeing and climbing mountains, Su Xiaojiu probably had even less interest.
The natural scenery of Kyushu is definitely better than Earth, with more natural mountains and forests, and which immortal sect doesn’t have a few mountain peaks?
“When the time comes, I’ll take you to places in the city that I think have good scenery. If you want, I can also take you to the seaside… Have you seen the sea?”
“No, I haven’t.”
Su Xiaojiu ate her ice cream very quickly; at this point, only half of the cone was left.
“I grew up in Fire Phoenix Sect, and haven’t been out many times. This time, I ran away from home to get this far…”
“Then I’ll take you to see it.”
At this moment, their milk tea was ready. Su Xiaojiu picked up hers, inserted the straw, and was about to drink, but An Chen stopped her.
“Wait a moment. You just finished ice cream, your mouth is sweet. If you drink something sweet right after, you won’t taste it.”
“Oh…”
Su Xiaojiu looked at the cup of milk tea in her hand, feeling a bit regretful.
An Chen, meanwhile, was leisurely drinking his lemonade.
“Then why are you drinking?”
“Because mine is sour. I like sour things. Sour and sweet don’t conflict.”
An Chen held up his lemonade, letting Su Xiaojiu see the lemon slices floating on top and the ice cubes inside.
Initially, he didn’t like sour things; it was because lemonade was the cheapest, a large bottle for four dollars.
Later, he didn’t know why, but he grew to like the taste, although he didn’t drink it every other day, he occasionally had spare money to buy a bottle to treat himself.
“I… I’ll have a sip!”
An Chen looked at Su Xiaojiu’s eager expression as she stared at the lemonade in his hand, and helplessly handed over the cup.
“Thank you, An Chen!”
Su Xiaojiu was overjoyed, picked up her own straw, inserted it, and took a sip.
“It’s delicious!”
“You like this sour taste too?”
“I’ve never had it before, but I can try it in the future.”
Su Xiaojiu pulled out the straw, then inserted it into her milk tea and took a sip.
“This… is also delicious! I’ll buy it next time too!”
An Chen was torn between laughter and tears; it seemed she loved whatever she ate or drank.
“Let’s go.”
Su Xiaojiu ate and drank very quickly. An Chen hadn’t walked far ahead when he heard the slurping sound of Su Xiaojiu’s straw behind him, indicating the drink was almost gone.
“Where are we going?”
Su Xiaojiu was almost leaning on An Chen’s shoulder, asking curiously.
“We’re almost there.”
An Chen pointed ahead and continued walking forward.
