Reborn as a Mountain: I Defy the Heavens with a Smile-Chapter 43: Great Market

Li Mei, Lan Ming, and Jing Xiao were scared when they heard Zhen Yunqi wanted this room.

But after hearing Ye Chen’s rejection, they heaved a sigh of relief.

However, it didn’t take too long, and they once again felt their hearts tighten.

They didn’t know how long Zhen Yunqi would stay and chat here.

It would be fine if she didn’t discover them, but if she did, then they won’t be able to face her soon.

Li Mei, who was the most thin-skinned, was quite anxious and really wanted to find a place to die.

Lan Ming, although she didn’t worry too much, was also ashamed of getting found out.

As for Jing Xiao, her expression was filled with regret, irritation, helplessness, and shame.

She even wondered if the heavens wanted to play jokes on her.

After all, she only acted coquettishly, tried poaching, and laid down half-naked because no one would know what happened behind the closed doors.

But what if someone is already inside and hiding before her? Then, to make matters worse, even her childhood friend arrived here.

It would have been fine if those two girls knew what happened. They were, after all, weak and from the younger generation. No one will take their words seriously even if they tell everyone about what happened here.

But it was different for her childhood friend.

’Zhen Yunqi! How dare you visit your male disciple’s abode at night? Aren’t you afraid of causing misunderstanding?’ She thought with anger, forgetting the fact that she was also doing the same.

Moreover, it was the abode of her childhood friend’s disciple.

Zhen Yunqi didn’t know her thoughts, but she guessed Jing Xiao must be helpless and angry at her arrival.

Thinking of this, she couldn’t help but curl her lips.

If Jing Xiao saw this, she would definitely fume and attack her. But it was a pity that from under the bed she wasn’t able to see anything.

"Ye Chen, the day after tomorrow the ’Great Market’ will open. There will be everything sold, from living beasts to eggs, pills, weird treasures, and many other things."

"Although I gave you spirit stones before, I don’t think it will be enough, so here, keep these 10,000 mid-grade spirit stones. By the way, an auction will be held in four days, and I have already prepared to take you three with me, so don’t wander off…" Zhen Yunqi said and continued talking, trying to waste time.

Of course she didn’t lie about giving him spirit stones, and Ye Chen calmly received it.

At this moment, under the bed, Jing Xiao and Lan Ming were shocked.

They both understood that Zhen Yunqi valued him highly, but they didn’t expect it would be this much.

The 10,000 mid-grade spirit stones meant 1,000 high-grade spirit stones or 100,000 low-grade spirit stones.

This amount was enough to make Qi Condensation cultivators go crazy.

Even the Foundation Establishment cultivators might not have this amount of wealth on them.

Yet she gave it to Ye Chen like nothing.

If the word got out, the disciple of Azure Cloud Sect would definitely show dissatisfaction; even the elders would not be able to sit down.

Although the 10,000 mid-grade stones were nothing to Azure Cloud sect, it was enough to nurture a few ten Qi Condensation stage cultivators.

’Why did she give him this much? Don’t tell me his spiritual root is heaven grade!’ Jing Xiao concluded with a shock.

His medicine skills were already terrifying, and if he also has a monstrous cultivation talent, then it was no wonder Zhen Yunqi was willing to give him this much.

Lan Ming also thought the same thing.

As for Li Mei, she just thought her master was rich.

Just as they were busy in their thoughts, Zhen Yunqi continued to chat with Ye Chen for an hour.

As for exposing the three figures under the bed, she had never thought of doing this. She just wanted to make things difficult for Jing Xiao and nothing else.

Hence, after a while, she said goodbye and left his room.

It was only after this that Li Mei, Lan Ming, and Jing Xiao felt relief wash over them.

However, they still didn’t let their guard down and remained under the bed, fearing that Zhen Yunqi might come back again.

Seeing that they had no intentions to come out yet, Ye Chen was speechless and rolled his eyes a little.

"You can stop hiding; she won’t be coming back," he assured them with a helpless look.

Only after hearing this did the three of them stop hesitating and come out with embarrassed expressions.

"Chen’r, I will take my leave here," Jing Xiao said.

She didn’t want to embarrass herself anymore; moreover, she was afraid Zhen Yunqi would discover her.

Hence, she didn’t wait for his reply and took her leave without hesitation.

Now only Li Mei, Lan Ming, and Ye Chen were left in the room.

"Senior brother, I will go back to my room," Li Mei declared with a timid look and hurried to escape.

But before she could, a claw grabbed her waist and pulled back.

As for the other claw, it was around Lan Ming’s waist, who was also making her escape silently.

"Next time don’t bother to hide; no one will say anything, and there is no need to feel embarrassed," he stated with a serious expression as he embraced them at once.

Li Mei and Lan Ming both blushed at this and nodded silently.

After this, Ye Chen ruffled their hair and released them.

Getting their freedom back, both girls were happy, and without any hesitation, they made a swift escape.

Ye Chen was speechless at this, but he didn’t care and got back to the bed, preparing to sleep.

A lot of things happened today, but they didn’t affect him, and he slowly dozed into a good sleep.

However, this was not the case for Li Mei, Lan Ming, and Jing Xiao.

They were having nightmares of getting discovered under the bed by Zhen Yunqi; because of this, they weren’t able to sleep peacefully.

The next day was normal, and nothing unnecessary happened.

Soon it was the opening day of ’Great Market.’

Ye Chen, Li Mei, and Lan Ming came to the place where the market was opening.

"Brother Chen, it’s here," Lan Ming pointed to the bustling area where a lot of disciples were gathered.

Some were purchasing, while others were setting up their stalls.

The whole market was big, and at least thousands of small stalls were opened.

"Let’s go and see what they are selling," Ye Chen said and walked forward with Li Mei hugging his right arm while Lan Ming was on his left.

This trio attracted the attention of everyone.

After all, their appearance was top-notch. Some even recognized Ye Chen as the husband of Jing Xiao.

"Hey, look, that’s the fella I was talking about."

"What? You mean that Qi Gathering cultivator is really the husband of sect master Jing Xiao?"

"Shh! Don’t speak loudly; you will get me killed. But yeah, he is."

The disciples spoke in hushed voices, making sure not to be heard by anyone.

At this moment, Ye Chen walked over to a small stall set up by a disciple.

"Hey brother, what do you need? Tell me, and I will give you a thirty percent discount!" The male disciple immediately greeted him with a smile while feeling sour in his heart as he saw him getting hugged by two beauties.

’Damn it, why is there so much difference between us?’ He cursed in his heart, wondering what kind of dog-shit luck Ye Chen has.

At this moment, Ye Chen was looking through his items. There were some herbs, small, rusted swords, some jade pendants, and some miscellaneous things.

"Brother Chen, are you buying something?" Lan Ming inquired.

As for Li Mei, she gave him a curious look.

"No, I am just looking through," Ye Chen replied and moved on with them.

When the male disciple saw this, he cursed Ye Chen thousands of times and hoped he would become an eunuch.

However, his worst mood did not last long, as he soon got a new customer.

’The quality of every item is very low in this area.’ Ye Chen muttered in his heart, feeling disappointed.

Although he didn’t expect it to give him a heaven-grade item, he hoped to get something fine.

But there was not much to see except the weapons dug out from ancient ruins.

So, he just continued to stroll around while buying a few things for Li Mei and Lan Ming.

Just like this, the three of them arrived in the inner area of the great market.

The great market was divided into three areas: outer, inner, and core.

The outer area was given to the low-level cultivators, while the middle was for the stronger, and the core was for the strongest.

"Brother Chen, look, that’s the stall from our sect’s disciple, but why are there so many people surrounding it?" Lan Ming pointed at the distance with a frown.
