Actually, this level of a female should be quite attractive looking. However, her chin was slightly lifted in the air, plus the five stars silver medal on her chest, she didn’t seem so cute anymore.
“Yo, isn’t this the number one beautiful girl in the royal family, Hua Xiangyu? What made you so free to come here today?” Once she saw Hua Xiangyu, a jealous look obviously shot out from her eyes. She stared fiercely at Hua Xiangyu’s face and sourly said, “You don’t interact with guys normally, don’t you? Why, did you change character today and started dating someone? This person is really not bad, what a big scene.”
From her words, it was obvious that they were enemies. From how this girl looked at Hua Xiangyu, she didn’t hide her wish of wanting to scratch Hua Xiangyu’s face and disfigure it at all. Jealousy usually leads to hatred. The relationship between these two girls was obviously not good.
Although this girl was very sour, the handsome guy beside her was very fanatical as he looked at Hua Xiangyu, as if he wanted to swallow her up. Hong Dali didn’t know the relationship between them, but it definitely wasn’t something good.
“Zhu Ningyu. I really see you everywhere I go.” Hua Xiangyu’s expression towards her wasn’t good. “I am bringing a new member of my Hong Family for a random walk around today. If you don’t have any business with me, go and do your own stuff. I don’t welcome you here.”
Hua Xiangyu belonged to Old Madam Hua Yueling’s branch, and she could be considered to be a distant relative of the Hong Family. But no matter what it was, she was still considered to be from the Hong Family. She wasn’t purposely pulling connections when she said “my Hong Family”.
“Oh? A new member from the Hong Family?” Very obviously, this man’s family should be about the same status as the Hong Family, so his tone wasn’t polite at all. “The thing that’s wandering outside and came back? Which branch is he from?”
“From my Uncle Jun’s side.” Hua Xiangyu casually replied, then suddenly smiled towards Zhu Ningyu and said, “Oh right, speaking of which, your Zhu Family seemed to have an engagement with my Uncle Jun. Although he isn’t around anymore, his offspring is. You are the only female for this generation of the Zhu Family, right? Speaking of it this way, you can be considered to be my Big Bro Dali’s fiancée?”
Once Hua Xiangyu said this, Zhu Ningyu and the man’s face obviously changed!
No wonder. The man’s name was Bei Yuanqing, and he was the second son of the Bei Family, one of the three big royal families. Zhu Ningyu was the only direct offspring from the Zhu Family for this generation. For big royal families like them, it was common to have such engagements; the purpose was to strengthen their connections with one another.
Last time, Hong Jun had an engagement with the Zhu Family, but his power started to deteriorate after that, and he left home in depression and never came back. Therefore, this engagement was considered to be canceled.
But now that Hong Dali was back, such an engagement at their status naturally couldn’t be taken lightly. Although no one would really be too serious about it, it did indeed cause them to feel despondent now that it was mentioned in their face—especially that this Hong Dali was obviously a bumpkin who just came back from outside.
“Hehe, that engagement was a matter of a few hundred years ago.” Zhu Ningyu gave a cold laugh and said, “Don’t tell me that you really think that it is still in effect now?”
However, Bei Yuanqing gave Hong Dali a vicious stare. Hua Xiangyu could be said to be the dream girl of the young men in the entire royal family, but she addressed this bumpkin so intimately, this really caused Bei Yuanqing to be very jealous of Hong Dali.
“Ah, it doesn’t count anyway, it definitely mustn’t count anymore.” Hong Dali was originally smiling and looking at them bicker, but he suddenly said, “I already have enough women, and Great-grandmother also said it’s hard to find other girls who are of my women’s level. Therefore, it definitely mustn’t count!”
After he said this, Tang Muxin and Li Nianwei instantly covered their mouths and laughed, and even Hua Xiangyu couldn’t help but smile too.
This Hong Dali looked very harmless and innocent, but when he scolded someone, he was really good at it.
He said that it was difficult to find girls up to his women’s level, didn’t that mean to say that Zhu Ningyu wasn’t qualified enough?
“You! You think that I am not beautiful enough, is that what you mean?” Zhu Ningyu’s face turned white from anger and she instantly raged. “How am I not good enough? Where am I worse off!? You are just a bumpkin, but your tone is actually so arrogant!” It was no wonder that she was so angry. No woman would be happy to hear people said that they weren’t beautiful.
“Ah, it’s not that you are not good enough, I am the one who’s not good enough.” Still using that annoying expression of his, Hong Dali said, “Actually, it isn’t that you aren’t pretty, it’s just that your looks are… a little unsuitable for my aesthetics? Yup, that’s what it is.”Read more chapter on NovelFull
“Pfft!” Hua Xiangyu couldn’t tolerate any longer and instantly covered her mouth and laughed.
This Hong Dali could really cause someone to explode from anger if he wanted to. Didn’t that still mean that she wasn’t pretty…
Tang Muxin and the rest all bitterly tried to hold in their laughter. This Young Master of theirs was really good at angering others.
“You are only good with your mouth.” Bei Yuanqing saw that Zhu Ningyu wasn’t a match for Hong Dali in terms of bickering and only insipidly said, “Bickering with a bumpkin like you really lowers my sense of taste. Ningyu, no need to bother yourself with him, a bumpkin like him probably won’t be able to buy anything valuable here. Don’t waste our time with him, it’s meaningless.”
His words weren’t good to hear, and his tone was filled with the sense of looking down on Hong Dali. But the problem was that he was indeed qualified to say this. At the age of 25, he had already become a two-star Star Sector-level. Plus his background, compared to Hong Dali, in the eyes of other people, it was like comparing a chicken to a phoenix.
Zhu Ningyu knew that Bei Yuanqing was giving her a chance to back down without losing her face and therefore accepted it. Suddenly, she smiled and said, “That’s true, bickering with a bumpkin really lowers my status. However, I am indeed curious as to what this fellow can possibly buy here. Yuanqing, why don’t we follow them and see what they plan to buy.”
Bei Yuanqing instantly nodded and said, “Okay. To be honest, I am quite curious too.” Saying so, he even stretched out his hand and said, “Then, go on. If you aren’t that narrow-minded, why don’t we walk together? It will be more interesting that way, how about that?”
From what the two of them said, Hua Xiangyu knew that they were up to no good.
Zhu Ningyu had always been jealous of her looks and talent, while Bei Yuanqing was always with her. The relationship between these two people was like a couple, but this Bei Yuanqing also had his eyes on her at the same time. Hong Dali had only just come and didn’t understand anything, yet his background was like a fantasy story. Now that these two groups of people came together, honestly speaking, Hua Xiangyu had no idea what would happen next.
“Oh, sure.” Hong Dali didn’t mind at all, he was never afraid of being laughed at. “Follow us if you want to. Just nice, I wanted to find out which place was most suitable to squander here.”
Which place was most suitable to squander here!
Upon hearing this, Bei Yuanqing and Zhu Ningyu were both dazed for a while, then both hugged their stomachs and laughed loudly.
They laughed so happily that those love-struck women at the distance were all curious about what had happened to make them laugh till they disregarded their image.
“Hahaha, squander, did you hear that? He actually asked which place is most suitable to squander here!” Bei Yuanqing’s mood wasn’t very good just now, but in this short instance, his mood became extremely good. Originally, he was still very jealous of Hong Dali, jealous that Hua Xiangyu came strolling with this bumpkin; not everyone could receive such a treatment. But now, he didn’t think so anymore—what was there for him to be jealous of a prodigal about?
“Of course, of course. Haha, there naturally are places suitable for squandering.” Zhu Ningyu laughed loudly and at the same time looked at Hua Xiangyu cockily. She said, “On the 30th level of this Jade Tree is a treasure digging shop. The whole level is filled with treasures from the various secret realms in the universe. It’s very easy to spend a few hundred thousand but buy something that’s worth millions!”
Her tone was filled with temptation. If they could really buy something worth millions for just a few hundred thousand, who wouldn’t be tempted to do so?
Hua Xiangyu frowned and anger flashed on her face. She softly reminded Hong Dali. “Big Bro Dali, don’t listen to her rubbish, most of the things there are fake. It’s more normal to spend a few hundred thousand on something only worth tens of thousands. You will need really great luck to buy something really valuable for a small price.”
“Ah, I am really sorry, I forgot about that just now, hehe. However.” Zhu Ningyu smiled and patted her head in “remorse”, but she didn’t hide the sarcasm in her eyes and instead asked, “Don’t tell me you don’t dare to buy them now?”
Hua Xiangyu was secretly nervous, yet Hong Dali didn’t put this to heart at all and nodded fervently. “This is great! I like such places! This is the kind of effect I want! Spend a few hundred thousand on something worth only tens of thousands, this is what squandering is about!”
Bei Yuanqing stared in bewilderment, and Zhu Ningyu opened her mouth wide.
Was the brain of this Hong Dali really okay? He actually wanted to do such a thing? Wasn’t that akin to jumping into a pit-hole when he already knew that it was there!?
Instead, Tang Muxin and Li Nianwei grinned and shared a look. Dali was going to squander again, they reckoned that they would have an interesting show to watch today!
Therefore, they moved out and went inside the door to the Jade Tree. Hong Dali’s eyes instantly lit-up, not because he found any treasure, but because here at the entrance was a row of snacks and beverages!
What a nostalgic sight! This was a common sight in the malls on Earth, wasn’t it? Eating and walking at the same time was the way to go, wasn’t it? There were actually beverages and snacks stalls here, he must definitely give praise to this place! Definitely!
“Do you have ice-cream here?” Hong Dali directly walked over and asked.
Ice-cream was, in fact, an overall description of all cold-type food. There were naturally such kinds of stuff at such a top-grade beverage and snacks stall. The owner directly nodded and said, “Yes, esteemed guest. What kind of flavor do you want?”
