Biyun's words were very reserved, but Shen Lang still understood the meaning accurately.
The so-called being a personal maid once and giving up the thought is actually dedicating a woman's virginity to the distinguished guests of Songhe Tower, and then cutting off the girls' longings and thoughts about love, marriage, and children...
Women are always moved by love, and they always want to get married. But how can Songhe Tower allow women who have been raised by Songhe Tower for eighteen years to get married? So they have to be divorced.
Thoughts, so that they can serve Songhe Tower wholeheartedly throughout their lives.
The wind on the street corner suddenly became a bit cold, but Shen Lang, who was already familiar with the coldness of the world, did not say anything. Because he knew very well that there was no charity in this world after all. For example, he was not a kind person. Songhe Tower
It's not a good thing. It's not easy for anyone to survive...
In the cold wind, the girls did not show any signs of pain or unwillingness, nor did they express any indignation or dissatisfaction with Songhe Tower. They were very strong at this time, like roses in the cold wind.
Qingzhu waved his little fist and said: "Master! Although we are young, we are already true spiritual monks! If we encounter some blind bullies on the street, can we protect you and the lady?"
Shen Lang's cultivation level is only at the ninth level of Qi Refining, so he looks very weak. Although Xia Qianye is extremely strong, she is a pure Talisman Master. She is only very powerful in terms of her soul. The true energy in her body fluctuates.
Also extremely weak.
Therefore, the four innocent little girls naturally regarded Shen Lang and Xia Qianye as the rich young master and the rich lady who were relatively wealthy but had weak cultivation.
"Yes! We can't do much. After you leave tomorrow, you may be dispatched to other places by Songhe Tower. Let us protect you today!" Biyun said gratefully: "The most important thing is that we want to thank you.
you."
"Thank me for what?" Shen Lang touched his nose. He asked himself, he is not a good person, at least not the kind of bad person who is overflowing with sympathy. For example, Songhe Tower has raised them for eighteen years and then wants to divorce them.
Thinking about it, they will have to serve Songhe Tower for decades or even centuries, which is equivalent to jumping into a pit of fire.
However, Shen Lang never thought about whether he would have to spend a large amount of money to redeem their lives. Well... Of course, he didn't have much spare money, because he still had to buy azure sea stones and marry his own wife after all.
Where can Xia Qianye actually pay for the betrothal gift?
"Because you haven't stopped thinking about us, we are still virgins." Qingmei said with a blushing face.
"The personal maids in the emperor's palace are all carefully selected, so it is difficult for them to be spared under normal circumstances..." Qingzhu said: "In the past two years, we have been the luckiest. We can meet you.
It’s our luck.”
"Are you lucky? Could it be that if you are lucky once, you will be lucky a second time?" Shen Lang disagreed, and did not think Songhe Tower would be too kind.
"There is still life among nine deaths. Heaven will not stop people's path. Of course, Songhe Tower will not completely solve everything. There will always be some hope left." Biyun said with a smile: "According to the rules in the building
Rules, if we are lucky and meet a kind-hearted nobleman like you in the Imperial Palace and still remain a virgin, then we will not have to be trapped in Songhe Tower for the rest of our lives. We only need to pay a ransom of three million to be completely free.
Restore your freedom."
"But we are already True Spirit Realm monks. It won't be too difficult to accumulate ransom, and there is no need to rush." Baguio said happily: "Like the Linghua girl in the building, she is also a lucky person. At first, she only
It took a year for me to completely regain my freedom. It was just because I was used to living in the building and I didn’t want to get married for the time being, so I continued to stay in Songhe Tower and do some simple work."
"So, starting from today, we will also have a great future and a free life!" A bright smile appeared on Qingzhu's face: "This is all the good luck you have brought to us."
Qingmei, however, held the new clothes in her arms that she was reluctant to wear and said, "We will keep these four pieces of clothes from Linglongfang as a souvenir."
"Uh..." Shen Lang looked at the four people who were extremely grateful to him and felt a little embarrassed, because he knew that he had done nothing at all.
But he was a very thick-skinned person after all, so he shamelessly accepted the gratitude of the little maids, coughed dryly and said: "Ahem, if you want to keep a souvenir, the total of the four items is less than ten thousand."
Lingshi's clothes make me look too stingy. Let's do this. When we get to that treasure shop later, one of us will help you pick out a small piece of jewelry."
Four small pieces of jewelry don't cost much at all. As far as Shen Lang knows, the price of the azure sea stone he wants to buy this time is only about five or six hundred spirit stones. At this time, he still has a full nine million in his Qiankun bag.
Spiritual stones, if you want to buy azure sea stones or some small jewelry, of course it is more than enough.
So, when Biyun and Qingzhu were still refusing to spend money, he took the girls into the gem shop called Zhenbao Pavilion in Guyang City with his wealth. But he did not find that there was a gem written on Zhenbao Pavilion.
On the plaque with three large characters, there are also four small characters written: Murong Family.
Walking into the hall, various gemstones were displayed in the transparent crystal display cabinets, among which sapphires were the most common. But Shen Lang was a little confused as to why those sapphires were made into diamond-like shapes. He just thought to himself
Yes, maybe this style is more popular this year.
Xia Qianye is an expert at identifying gems. Although the rows of sapphires look the same no matter how you look at them, she can still recognize them at a glance. The one displayed in the most conspicuous display cabinet is as big as a pigeon egg.
The large and small rhombus-shaped gems are the azure sea stones I want to buy this time.
"That's the piece, right?" Shen Lang asked uncertainly.
"The azure sea stone is completely orchid, but if you look closely, you can see that its core is actually as blue as the color of the ocean. The most important thing is that the inside of the gemstone contains the fluctuations of the water element, heaven and earth energy. You have also practiced water characters,
You should be able to feel that kind of fluctuation." Xia Qianye said with great certainty.
"Well, it can't be fake." Shen Lang felt the fluctuations of heaven and earth energy inside the gem and walked to the counter. The middle-aged shopkeeper in the shop squinted his shrewd eyes, as if he smelled the smell of money.
He was greeted immediately.
"That's it, how much does it cost?" Shen Lang said simply.
The shrewd shopkeeper smiled and said very respectfully: "Hey, 60 million."
"Sixty million!!" Shen Lang's tone suddenly tripled: "I'm so sorry for you! A blue sea stone the size of a fist is worth six million! Your piece is not as big as an egg.
Dare you ask for 60 million? A black shop is not a black man like you!"
The shopkeeper's face instantly darkened, and he said with a sullen face: "Are you here to cause trouble? Our Zhenbao Pavilion has always been a childlike and innocent person, so why is it a black shop? Moreover, this is not a cheap blue sea stone, but a demon sect.
Netherworld Fire Crystal! You don’t understand the market, so please don’t talk nonsense! Otherwise..."
At the same time, in the attic of the Zhenbao Pavilion, Mr. Murong, who had had some minor quarrels with Shen Lang, heard Shen Lang's exclamation and glanced at Shen Lang down at the attic...
