Kapitel 121: A Time for Families

We never made it to the side streets. More peddlers surrounded us after the woman left, tirelessly showing me their dazzling jewelry, dresses, trinkets … Bai Ye made no effort at all to stop them, and although I was sure they had up-priced everything that I showed the slightest interest in, he didn't seem to care. It wasn't until my stomach growled in protest that he finally nudged me out of the crowd and got me those long-promised mooncakes.

"Having a patron like you must be every peddler's dream," I said after coming out of the shop, sipping a sweet osmanthus rice wine drink. "It'll soon be so much to carry that you'll have to put them in your storage." I pointed at the loads of purchases in his hands.

Every cultivator had storage artifacts that could easily stow huge volumes, and I had been wondering when he would start using it. It'd be much more convenient than carrying everything like this all night.
