34: We would like to buy it, but we don't have enough money.

At this moment, he wished he truly was a tin train, a tin train without hearing or touch.

To upgrade to a higher-level tin train sooner, Lin Feng started vigorously hawking again.

“Do you need to buy pills? Martial Enhancement Pills, Advancement Pills, Healing Pills, we have everything! Affordable prices, no deception!”

Xiao Shen, seeing these subtitles, was speechless.

He wanted to buy them, but he had no money!

He could only ignore it.

Xiao Shen sat down in his seat, adjusted his breathing, and quickly entered a state of cultivation.

He currently had four Qi Vortexes in his body, but the Qi Cavity of the Dragon Taming Palace was too overbearing, absorbing spiritual energy incredibly fast, so Xiao Shen always felt that his fifth Qi Vortex seemed to be forming very soon.

To advance from a Level Three Martial Artist to a Level Four Martial Artist, one needed to form four more Qi Vortexes. Xiao Shen currently only had four Qi Vortexes, and his fifth hadn't even formed yet.

Seeing Xiao Shen ignore his hawking, Lin Feng felt even more helpless. Sure enough, he had been happy too soon, thinking these pills would sell out quickly, but they ended up being slow-moving.

Damn it, his pills were clearly more effective and much cheaper than those outside!

Wang Yi indicated: I do want to buy, but my contracted beast is already third-tier, so I can't use your Advancement Pill.

Xiao Shen and the others: We do want to buy, but we don't have enough money!

The one thousand spirit stones were earned by Xiao Shen from a mission, originally intended to buy Martial Enhancement Pills. However, inquiring about Liu Ling'er's whereabouts was also a top priority. After weighing both, he could only buy gifts for Ximen Chuifeng first.

As soon as Liu Ling'er returned home with Chu Feiyue, Zheng Jinfeng came out to greet them.

“You’re finally back! How was the journey? Smooth, I hope?”

As Zheng Jinfeng spoke, she reached out to take Liu Ling'er’s hand.

Chu Feiyue awkwardly retracted his outstretched hand.

He had thought his wife was going to hold his hand, *sniff*.

“It was very smooth; we didn’t encounter any high-level fierce beasts. Brother Chu even took me for a ride on a tin train,” Liu Ling’er said.

Chu Feiyue had told her that Zheng Jinfeng knew about it, so there was no need to hide it.

Sure enough, as soon as Zheng Jinfeng heard this, she quickly closed the main door and ushered them inside: “Come on, come on, let’s go inside and talk.”

As soon as the three entered, Zheng Jinfeng began to ask: “What exactly does that tin train look like? Is there really that much spiritual energy? I heard it can even send fierce beasts flying; is that true?”

Zheng Jinfeng had actually been curious for a long time, but she had never asked.

Mainly because only Chu Feiyue had ridden it; she hadn’t, and she always felt a bit left out, but she was too embarrassed to say it.

Now that Liu Ling'er had also ridden it, she could ask Liu Ling'er directly, skipping Chu Feiyue.

Thus, Chu Feiyue was “out of favor” again.

Liu Ling'er smiled and told Zheng Jinfeng: “Actually, the tin train looks ordinary on the outside, just an ugly tin train. There are only four seats inside, so it’s not spacious, but cultivating inside is truly wonderful; the spiritual energy is too abundant.”

“And that tin train isn’t afraid of fierce beasts at all; it can really send them flying. I saw it with my own eyes.”

Liu Ling'er spoke with a look of longing, stating that she absolutely had to ride the tin train again tomorrow.

Zheng Jinfeng also had a look of longing: “That’s wonderful! I want to ride the tin train too.”

“Then go!” Liu Ling'er blurted out.

Zheng Jinfeng suddenly stood up, her eyes wide, and she stammered a little: “Can, can I too?”

She knew Chu Feiyue had ridden a magical tin train, and she knew how magical it was, but she had never suggested that Chu Feiyue take her along.

As for why, she couldn't quite explain it herself.

Perhaps… it was because she no longer yearned for advancement?

Being content with the status quo seemed not so bad.

But could the suppressed desires in her heart truly be put aside so easily?

Liu Ling'er didn't know what Zheng Jinfeng was thinking and said generously: “Of course you can! I’ll take you tomorrow.”

Zheng Jinfeng subconsciously looked at Chu Feiyue.

Chu Feiyue looked puzzled. He pointed at his face and said, “What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?”

Zheng Jinfeng rolled her eyes at him, simply ignored him, and turned to Liu Ling'er, saying, “Okay, then let’s go together tomorrow.”

“Mm.” Liu Ling'er nodded, then suddenly remembered something. She took out one hundred twenty spirit stones and said, “Brother Chu, this is to repay your tin train fare.”

She had already submitted the guild mission and received a reward of three hundred fifty spirit stones. The first-tier beast crystal was still in her possession. Chu Feiyue said she could sell it to Old He, who specialized in collecting such items.

“Look at us, why are we still being so polite?” Chu Feiyue said with a beaming smile. Although he said there was no need to be polite, his guilty little hands had already scooped all the spirit stones into his pocket.

Zheng Jinfeng knew that riding the tin train required buying a ticket; Chu Feiyue had told her. It’s just… “Chu! Fei! Yue!”

Zheng Jinfeng gritted her teeth and reached out to pinch Chu Feiyue’s ear.

“Ow, ow, ow! Wife, let go! My ear is going to be twisted off!” Chu Feiyue was on the verge of tears.

“The tin train ticket only costs one hundred twenty spirit stones, right? Hmph, if it weren’t for Ling’er Meizi, I’d still think it was one hundred fifty!”

Zheng Jinfeng had no intention of letting Chu Feiyue off easily. This scoundrel, lying about military intelligence to stash away private funds, must be severely punished; otherwise, where would her authority be?

“Wife, I was wrong! Can’t I just take out the money? Oh, be gentle…”

Chu Feiyue abandoned the tin train to save his commander; spirit stones could be earned again, but losing an ear would mean disability.

It was just a pity that the spirit stones he had saved for so many days were gone, back to square one!

Only after getting the spirit stones did Zheng Jinfeng release Chu Feiyue: “Hmph, if you dare to trick me again next time, it won’t be this simple!”

Thirty for one time, three hundred for ten times. Did he really think she was a paper tiger?

“I won’t dare, I won’t dare, I really won’t dare again.” Chu Feiyue had a strong will to survive. This time, he really lost spirit stones and got beaten.

Liu Ling'er couldn't help but laugh beside them. She never interfered when the couple argued. While their arguments looked serious, they actually both were willing to give in to the other, so nothing ever truly came of it.

“Sister-in-law, you should come with us tomorrow,” Liu Ling'er said.

“Okay, I’ll go prepare now.”

Zheng Jinfeng immediately turned around to pack her things.

Liu Ling'er was a bit puzzled and asked, “Do you still need to prepare?”

She had been dragged there by Chu Feiyue today, with no preparations at all, not even mentally, before getting on that mysterious tin train.

Yes, Liu Ling'er named Lin Feng the “Mysterious tin train” because he was very mysterious and also a tin train.

However, according to Chu Feiyue, the tin train was not originally made of tin, but a covered wagon, so it was unknown if it would transform into something else later.
