Chapter 118: In This World, More Money Is the Rule!

Late at night, by the river.

Lin Qinghan curiously surveyed the bustling city shrouded in night.

Although she has been away from the mountain for a while, she has always lived in a mountain villa on Jiang Xin Zhou.

Let alone going out for a stroll.

So at this moment, everything before her eyes is novel to her.

"What is that?"

She pointed at the steaming stalls of the riverside night market, her voice tinged with curiosity.

"It's a mundane snack,"

Jiang Feng smiled as he explained.

"I'll take you to try it later,"

Binjiang Road is at its liveliest right now.

Pedestrians come and go.

Lin Qinghan stepped onto the pier and instantly became the focus of the crowd.

Her moon‑white robe stood out in the night, her jet‑black hair draped over her shoulders, and with her cool, delicate features she looked like a character stepping out of a period drama.

"Wow, this cosplay is so spot‑on! Are you Little Dragon Girl?"

"You look unbelievably beautiful! Your skin is flawless!"

"Wanna take a photo together, sis?"

Someone raised a phone to snap a picture of Lin Qinghan, while others whispered.

Feeling a bit nervous under the gazes, Lin Qinghan slipped behind Jiang Feng and whispered, "Why are they all looking at me?"

Jiang Feng tugged her wrist and led her toward a less crowded spot.

"They just think your outfit looks nice, like a TV character, no ill intent."

Lin Qinghan nodded as if she understood, but her eyes were drawn to the milk‑tea shop on the street.

She couldn't help but pause, her fingers gently poking Jiang Feng's arm.

"What's inside that cup? It looks sweet,"

"It's milk tea, a common drink among mundane youngsters,"

Jiang Feng smiled and pulled out his phone.

"Shall I buy you a cup to try?"

Soon, Jiang Feng ordered a strawberry milk‑foam tea.

She cradled the cup gingerly, as if holding a treasure.

First she brought it close to her nose to sniff, her eyes curved, she took a small sip, and her eyes instantly brightened.

"Delicious... much sweeter than the sect's spirit tea,"

Jiang Feng looked at her expression and couldn't help but laugh.

She finally looks like an eighteen‑ or nineteen‑year‑old girl, not the Qingxiao Sect Saintess who knows only cultivation all day.

The two walked forward along Binjiang Road, and Lin Qinghan's gaze never left the stalls by the street.

But as more passersby turned to look, some even chased after them for photos, Jiang Feng also found it inconvenient.

Lin Qinghan's robe was too eye‑catching; if it continued, she feared they'd be surrounded.

"Let's first buy some mundane clothes to change into; otherwise we'll attract too much attention,"

Lin Qinghan nodded and obediently followed Jiang Feng into a boutique bearing the LV logo.

The shop's decor was Metal‑jade brilliance.

When a customer arrived, a server in a black uniform immediately greeted them, a standard smile plastered on the face.

"Hello, welcome, may I ask what you'd like to see?"

But when the server's gaze landed on Jiang Feng, the smile froze for a moment.

Jiang Feng wore a plain white T‑shirt and jeans, and his Foot sported a pair of sneakers, looking completely ordinary.

Looking at Lin Qinghan, though attractive, she was dressed in a faded moon‑white robe, without even a bag.

Who knows where those energetic lads and girls came from!

The server's enthusiasm faded instantly, and the tone became perfunctory.

"Our Here clothes are all seasonal new styles, the lowest still costs five figures, are you sure you want to look?"

Lin Qinghan didn't catch the contempt in her tone; she simply walked curiously to a light‑blue dress and gently brushed the fabric with her fingertips.

"The material of this dress feels so soft, what is it made of?"

The server rolled her eyes, arms crossed over her chest, tone impatient.

"This is our LV's new release this year! If you can't afford it, don't touch it; can you afford to pay for the damage?"

Jiang Feng frowned, about to speak, when a coquettish voice came from the doorway.

"I want this dress, wrap it up!"

The two turned toward the voice and saw a woman in a red suspender dress walk in.

The woman's makeup was exquisite, a glittering bracelet on her wrist, followed by two close friends, all decked in name‑brand labels.

Sun Yinxue approached the rack, about to ask the server for the dress, when she saw Lin Qinghan standing nearby, her gaze instantly landing on her.

Although Lin Qinghan wore a simple robe, her delicate looks and fair skin made even her un‑made face look better than Sun Yinxue's carefully styled one.

A sour feeling rose in Sun Yinxue's heart, and her tone turned sharp.

"Hey, isn't this the cosplay sis? Why come here to join the fun? Do you know how much this dress costs? You dare stand here and touch it?"

Lin Qinghan froze for a moment, not understanding why she suddenly lost her temper, and simply whispered.

"I was just looking…"

"Looking?"

Sun Yinxue let out a Cold Smile, pulled a Black Card from her bag, and waved it before the waiter.

"Waiter, I want this clothing, wrap it up Immediately! Some people dress like extras from a costume drama, they don't belong here; don't dirty the clothing, Impact my wearing."

The waiter's eyes lit up instantly upon seeing the Black Card, and he Immediately bowed and nodded.

"Miss Sun, rest assured, I'll wrap it up for you right away!"

Saying that, he didn't forget to glare at Lin Qinghan.

"Did you hear? Move aside Immediately, don't block Miss Sun from choosing clothing!"

Lin Qinghan, somewhat bewildered, turned and swung at Jiang Feng.

"Why is she scolding me? I didn't provoke her…"

"If this were in the Qingxiao Sect! To dare insult the saintly maiden, one would have already been beheaded by a sword."

"But this is still a city; Lin Qinghan was indeed angry, yet didn't want to cause trouble for Jiang Feng."

Jiang Feng lifted his eyes to Sun Yinxue, Tone calm.

"Miss, the clothing was first eyed by my friend; if you want to snatch it, shouldn't you ask whether we agree?"

Sun Yinxue didn't expect Jiang Feng to talk back; she sized him up from head to toe, and upon seeing his plain T‑shirt, Laughter grew more contemptuous.

"What are you, some kind of thing? You dare discuss agreement with me? Let me tell you, in Jiangcheng, as long as I, Sun Yinxue, want something, no one dares to snatch it from me! Do you know who my husband is? Believe it or not, I could make you unable to stay in Jiangcheng!"

Her close friend behind her echoed in agreement.

"Exactly! Take your costume girlfriend and get out Immediately, stop making a spectacle here!"

Although Lin Qinghan didn't understand what Sun Yinxue was saying, she could hear the malice in her words.

She lifted her head, her cold eyes fixed on Sun Yinxue.

"I saw the clothing first; you can't be so unreasonable."

"Reason? In this world, money is the Reason!"

Sun Yinxue let out a cold snort, then swung her large hand.

"What are you all still standing still for? Hurry and drive these two penniless fellows away; they have already hindered me!"

As soon as Sun Yinxue finished speaking, the two security guards in the shop Immediately surrounded Jiang Feng and Lin Qinghan coldly.
