Chapter 156: Chapter 120: Missing_2

“Drinking flower wine, huh.”

Yang Xiaoyun said it as though it was a matter of course: “You promised me; I’ve been curious for the longest time about how this flower wine is drunk.”

“So why don’t you just dress up as a man and go try it?”

Su Mo was curious, as such scenes were never lacking in TV dramas and movies.

“That place is trouble-prone after all. I did think of going with you to keep an eye on you, stop you from spending too much—

“In the end, as soon as you saw me you ran off, in my anger, I dragged you out to the street and gave you a good thrashing…”

Su Mo, upon hearing this, subconsciously rubbed her nose.

Yang Xiaoyun also caught on and grinned: “Xiao Mo is now so skilled in martial arts, I’m no match at all, afraid I won’t be able to beat you in the future.”

“From the look of it, you seem quite regretful?”

Su Mo widened her eyes.

“Hahaha.”

Yang Xiaoyun laughed heartily, without answering her question, and continued: “As for myself, it doesn’t look good to go there. Taking the brothers from the escort agency with me, it’s even worse if word gets out. So, I can only drink flower wine with you… Let’s go, take me there.”

“Um… Miss Yang.”

Su Mo looked up at the sky: “Why don’t you check the time now?”

“It’s about… halfway past Chen hour, right?”

“That’s correct.”

Su Mo nodded: “Which flower wine shop do you think is still open at this hour? They do business at night and close when it’s daylight to sleep.”

“Then how can Chief Liu still be there and not come back?”

Yang Xiaoyun asked righteously, full of curiosity.

“That’s called staying the night.”

Su Mo gave her a look: “Adult business, mind your own…”

In the midst of talking, she reached out and pulled Yang Xiaoyun over: “Let’s go, we have some spare time today, let’s take a stroll in the streets. Five Directions Gathering is a big place with lots of stuff to sell. I should get you some rouge and all that…”

“Get me that stuff for what?”

Yang Xiaoyun looked at Su Mo in surprise.

Finding herself at a loss for words, Su Mo asked her back: “Otherwise what?”

“Get me a weapon!”

Yang Xiaoyun said: “Though I’ve gotten quite used to the Dragon Abyss Spear, I’m not in a hurry to change it. Well, how about this, you get me a set of Heart Protection Armor.”

“…”

Su Mo opened her mouth, but then suddenly realized.

Even when Yang Xiaoyun occasionally showed her feminine side in front of her, she absolutely could not be treated as just a common, fragile woman.

This woman is anything but weak and in fact is very strong.

It’s unheard of to go shopping with a girl who opens her mouth wanting Heart Protection Armor as a gift.

Yang Xiaoyun seemed to have not noticed Su Mo’s shock and kept rambling on:

“When it comes to Heart Protection Armor, we should choose something of good material. Too heavy and it’s uncomfortable, too light, and it’s ineffective…”

Suddenly, Su Mo stretched out a finger and pressed it against Yang Xiaoyun’s prattling mouth.

Yang Xiaoyun was startled and froze due to the action, her complexion turning visibly red.

Then she heard Su Mo say with a dark face: “Be quiet, come with me, no more talking.”

After that, she took Yang Xiaoyun and headed outside.

Yang Xiaoyun didn’t dare say much for a moment but after hesitating, still asked: “Where are you taking me?”

“To buy you Heart Protection Armor… Ah dammit! Shut up, I’m taking you to buy what women should be buying.”

Yang Xiaoyun was helplessly dragged along, not at all interested in the so-called ’women’s things’, but seeing Su Mo so eager, she didn’t have the heart to dampen his spirit.

And the ’women’s things’ Su Mo mentioned were none other than rouge, Lingluo clothes, and such.

Yang Xiaoyun holding the rouge had no idea how to use it, much less so compared to Su Mo’s understanding.

The luxurious clothes felt cumbersome on her; either they hindered her Footwork or entangled her during spear technique practice—she couldn’t help but grumble:

“Why bother sewing so many ribbons on a perfectly fine dress?”

The Shopkeeper of the ready-to-wear shop, although quite experienced and knowledgeable, had rarely seen someone like her and was momentarily taken aback.

But as time went by, Yang Xiaoyun gradually became curious about the things on the street.

Occasionally encountering something unfamiliar, she would inquire Su Mo about it.

While Su Mo was also unfamiliar with these items, he came from an era with developed internet and communication, and even if he hadn’t seen certain things, he could still guess a lot based on his judgment and knowledge.

Initially, Yang Xiaoyun was skeptical about whether Su Mo was pulling her leg. She asked the stall owners, and to her surprise, it was almost the same as what Su Mo had said, then she finally acknowledged his knowledge.

Then, for anything she didn’t understand, she would ask Su Mo, and he would explain what he could guess; if he couldn’t guess, he’d stay silent.

The two of them played a guessing game on the street as they pointed things out to each other, which led Su Mo to feel somewhat dispirited.

But Yang Xiaoyun was having the time of her life.

She rarely had the chance to leisurely stroll the streets when escorting valuables, as the escort masters both respected and feared her, but which one of them would dare take her shopping in foolhardy abandon?

Moreover, Yang Xiaoyun considered herself to be a daughter-in-law of the Su family.

Although women in Jianghu are not bound by petty formalities, she did maintain a certain propriety and never got too close to men.

A leisurely stroll on the streets with Su Mo like today was an unprecedented event.
