Chapter 1685 Xu 3 Jin
After eating and drinking to our hearts' content, the next step is to digest.
"Sister Yu, I know a jewelry store where every piece is absolutely gorgeous! I'm sure you'll love it. Shall we go take a look?"
The clone wanted to visit the herbal medicine shop, but since Xiaoyue had invited her so warmly, she felt embarrassed to refuse: "Okay."
Just as Xiaoyue said, as soon as I entered the store, I was captivated by the dazzling array of jewelry on the shelves.
These ornaments also carry a faint aura of soul power or divine power.
It is a ritual implement.
The ritual implements were made into ornaments for women to wear, serving two purposes: firstly, as adornments, and secondly, as a means of saving their lives in critical moments.
No wonder this shop is doing so well.
The store was packed with people, and Xiaoyue pulled her clone along, carefully making her way inside.
"Sister Yue'er!" A man noticed the clone next to Xiao Yue, his eyes lit up, and he quickly pushed aside the people blocking his way and walked over.
"It really is you! I thought I was seeing things!"
"It's you. What's the matter?" Xiaoyue's high spirits clearly subsided when she saw who it was.
He subtly pulled the clone behind him.
"Isn't it because I haven't seen Yue'er for so long and I miss her terribly?" The man thought he had a handsome and sunny smile on his face.
Actually it is not.
From Xiaoyue's and his clone's perspective, his mouth was wide open as if he wanted to eat someone, and his eyes blinked repeatedly as if he were having a seizure.
He's not handsome at all, not even remotely good-looking.
"Sister Yue'er, who is this...?"
"Didn't Cousin Xu bring a friend?" Xiaoyue didn't answer him, but instead turned her gaze to the female companion behind Xu Sanjin.
She had just noticed that when Xu Sanjin came over, he left the woman behind.
How disgusting!
He spends every few days hanging out with all sorts of women, and now he's even setting his sights on Sister Yu!
The sin is unforgivable!
"Ahem, her? She's a younger sister." Xu Sanjin's face flushed several shades red after being exposed. "Just like you, except they're not related by blood."
Xiaoyue sneered: "Is it that we're not related by blood, or that we're not related by blood at all?"
"Little Yue'er, don't you know what kind of person I am?" Xu Sanjin was extremely embarrassed. He pulled Xiaoyue out of the shop: "Good little sister, why don't you introduce the woman next to you to your cousin!"
"My cousin truly loves her; it was love at first sight!"
"Is it okay? I swear, this time I'm serious, it's definitely not just a game."
Xiaoyue coldly slapped away Xu Sanjin's hand that was gripping her, refusing without a second thought: "I only call you cousin because of my mother, but don't forget that our social statuses are worlds apart!"
It wasn't that Xiaoyue liked to bully others, but this Xu Sanjin was just too unruly, and without resorting to extraordinary measures, he couldn't be dealt with.
Sure enough, after hearing this, Xu Sanjin's arrogance noticeably subsided: "I understand, the city lord's daughter!"
Xu Sanjin emphasized the words "a thousand pieces of gold" very heavily.
Regardless of whether it was open mockery or veiled sarcasm, Xiaoyue finally said, "Sister Yu is not someone you can covet. You should just stay and rot with those prostitutes in the back courtyard! Don't even think about touching Sister Yu!"
In the store.
Xu Sanjin's lover looked the clone up and down several times before finally speaking up: "You're quite good-looking, barely ranking behind me, but if you want to join the sect, you have to listen to me!"
Clone: "???"
Where did that rooster's crowing come from?
"I'm talking to you!" Seeing that her clone wasn't responding, her lover was a little embarrassed and annoyed. She stepped forward, glaring angrily at that overly perfect face, her teeth practically grinding to dust with jealousy.
Such beauty is simply a femme fatale! Once she enters the manor, won't Xu Lang be completely bewitched by her?
No, she needs to establish her authority!
Otherwise, there would be even less room for her in the Xu family!
"Talk to me? Big sister, do you even understand the situation?" Sometimes, the clone really doesn't want to argue with this kind of person.
But if I don't say it out loud, I feel suffocated.
The woman's boyfriend said, "Who are you calling 'big sister'?"
She tried to calm herself down. "Hmph! The more arrogant you are now, the more miserable you'll be once you're in this mansion!"
I'm giving you pointers!
"You can probably tell from the way Xu Lang looks at you that he has taken a liking to you."
Xu Lang? Was that idiot from just now?
The clone remained silent.
The lover continued, "I'm warning you, don't take this for granted. There are more women in the Xu family than you've ever eaten salt in your life! Even I'm not even in the top ranks, so you can forget about it."
"Only by obeying me can you survive in the Xu family... Ah! Why are you hitting me!"
Before he could finish his sweet talk, Xiaoyue slapped him across the face.
"Xu Sanjin has already left, why aren't you leaving yet? Without him, what can you afford here?"
"I... Xu Lang!" The lover covered her face, on the verge of tears. She looked pitifully at Xu Sanjin at the door, as if waiting for him to avenge her.
"Come on! Aren't you embarrassed enough already!" Seeing everyone casting mocking and curious glances his way, Xu Sanjin felt utterly ashamed.
"I'm so sorry, Sister Yu, I've caused you so much trouble." Afterwards, Xiaoyue bought a few pieces of jewelry for her clone, her face full of apology: "You must accept them, otherwise I will feel guilty."
“I don’t find it troublesome,” the clone said.
"That's because Xu Sanjin hasn't made his move yet." Xiaoyue sighed softly, "He's a lecherous thief!"
"Huh?" What do you mean by that?
"I'm sorry, I couldn't control my emotions." Xiaoyue realized what she had done and gently patted her mouth. "But it's not an exaggeration for me to use this word to describe him."
"His household was filled with wives and concubines! There were at least eighty or a hundred concubines. There's nothing wrong with that; men are prone to promiscuity, it's normal. But he actually elevated several of them to the status of secondary wives!"
"The Xu family's vast fortune was lost by more than half in less than a year after it came into his hands!"
"The Xu family used to own shops on several streets in Beast Taming City, including the jewelry shop we just visited. However, Xu Sanjin later used them to pay off debts."
"He was extravagant and couldn't even remember the names of all the women in his family, yet he still went out to seduce women and keep mistresses!"
Xiaoyue became increasingly angry as she spoke, "What's most hateful is that once he sets his sights on a woman, he'll do anything to get her!"
At this point, she looked at her clone, her tone softening slightly: "I know you, Sister Yu, are very powerful and not afraid of a villain like Xu Sanjin. But Xu Sanjin is just a persistent pest! Unfortunately, we can't kill him."
"Why?" The clone paused, then added, "Why can't I kill him?"
