Rebirth of the Godly Prodigal

When Tang Muxin and the other two left the Appraisal Room, they looked at each other and cheered. “Yay! Success!”

Hong Dali did not worry about making money at all probably because he already knew that even though he might not be so rich he could take on a country here, he would still not be short of money to spend. According to the prices here, +10 attribute stones were worth sixty-four thousand—rounded off to sixty thousand—+11 attribute stones were worth at least one hundred and twenty thousand, and +12 attribute stones were worth two hundred and forty thousand! These five huge pieces of jade could be cut into a few smaller pieces. In the end, they could be cut into thirteen or fourteen smaller pieces. Each piece was worth two hundred and forty thousand, which made them all worth a substantial amount. After they registered Earth, there should still be some money left. If they were lucky, it might even be enough for the villa!

“Phew, I finally feel relieved!” Tang Muxin let out a huge sigh of relief. She smiled and said, “Everything is at least settled now. Hehe.”

“Things are all fine now.” Li Nianwei returned to her original gentle self. She smiled, nodded and said, “When these pieces of jade are sold, they would be the start of us gaining a foothold here. We just have to make steady advancements from here onwards and the rest should be simple.”

“Yes, yes.” Tang Muxin nodded and smiled. “I can finally relax. Sister Nianwei and Sister Xiaoyi, shall we go shopping?”

“Of course.”

Just as the three of them were about to head out, a person who was wrapped up from head to toe walked past them. He looked bloated, and it was impossible to see what he looked like or how old he was. The only part of him that could be seen was a pair of eyes with clearly defined black and white parts.

The two sides passed each other by. Tang Muxin took another two more steps, then she suddenly made a sound of surprise and said, “Why does this person seem so familiar?”

“Oh? Familiar?” Li Nianwei asked curiously. “I don’t think we have seen him before?”

“Not the appearance.” Tang Muxin sniffed again and suddenly smiled. “It’s him, the man we saw at the pawnshop today. I didn’t expect to see him again here, hehe.”

“Xinxin, your sense of smell is really sharp.” Li Nianwei and Ling Xiaoyi bent over laughing. “If you identify people like that in the future, I’m sure it will definitely work.”

“I am still quite useful!” Tang Muxin wiped her nose and grinned.

After they had exited the Sauron Auction Center, Li Nianwei and the others changed out of their clothes in an isolated corner. They put them in their bags before walking away while chatting and laughing.

They were finally able to relax and go shopping. This was a totally different feeling!

By this time, the sky had gradually dimmed. Night in Shenluo City fell quickly and dusk did not last long. It did not take long for the soft lights on the road to light up. The beautiful night thus began.

Since they had decided to go shopping, Tang Muxin and the other two walked and looked around, oblivious to the surprised looks cast by other passersby.

The three of them did not realize just how much attention they garnered walking on the street. Almost every single male passerby was attracted to them.

This was not their fault. Tang Muxin and Li Nianwei were originally already extremely beautiful ladies, then Hong Dali further added their charm to one hundred and twenty-five points, which was the maximum. The effect was naturally exceptional.

The System-recognized maximum points for charm in the Milky Way were one hundred and twenty-five points. The effect they had on men around them was expected.

The three walked and shopped. Soon, Tang Muxin gradually noticed that things were not quite right around them. She turned back and saw a long stream of people behind her, all of whom were male.

Not only that, there was a long row of spacecraft on the road next to them, deliberately slowing down and moving along with them. There were lustful faces looking out from the spacecraft salivating at them. In the air, too, people looked out to see what was happening and the area around them was soon completely congested.

Faced with such a situation, Tang Muxin and the other two looked at each other. They had no idea whether to laugh or to cry. They did not expect to be still so attractive even in the Galaxy Alliance but were quite satisfied with it. It seemed that there was nothing wrong with their appearance. The problem was that Hong Dali seemed to be immune to women.

Of course, on the other hand, they were also troubled as they were worried that the situation might get out of hand.

Soon after, Tang Muxin carefully took a sniff of the air and then her expression immediately changed. She smelt something fragrant!

Following the scent and seeing its source, Tang Muxin’s mouth instantly gaped open in shock.

It was a shop selling flowers. By this time, it was already crowded with countless men. From time to time, men who managed to buy the flowers rushed out from the flower shop and headed toward the three women. Judging from the situation, it would not be long before someone would be declaring their love with a bouquet of flowers by the roadside—and it would not be just one either!

It was a large group of men, thousands of them! And there were still people flying off to buy flowers!

“Not good! Run!” Tang Muxin, who realized things were getting out of hand, pulled Li Nianwei and Ling Xiaoyi and started running. They had to shake off the large number of men who were following them like flies. If anyone in that group let their emotions get out of control, there could be a stampede and that would be troublesome.

Unexpectedly, it achieved the opposite result from what they wanted. Those people chased even harder.

“God, are these people crazy?” Li Nianwei also got a little scared. She had many fans on Earth, so it was normal to get caught in such a situation when she went out. Here in the Galaxy Alliance, she was just a nobody, why was it like that here too?! How come this didn’t happen when they were with the Young Master?

It was no wonder that she had such a thought.

It was simple, actually—when they were out with Hong Dali, it was usually in a large group. There were men and women in the group, and even if Tang Muxin and Li Nianwei had maximum charm, they would not attract much attention since men would subconsciously avoid lusting too much after women who already belonged to someone. Also, with Hong Dali previously, they had mostly traveled around places that were less crowded, so there were fewer people to notice them. The outcome was then naturally not as impressive.

This time, things were different—it was a woman’s nature to like shopping. Location was important when deciding where to shop. Naturally, they would go somewhere more crowded. That and their one hundred and twenty-five points of charm was what led to the current situation.

At first, there were just a few people following them. When they saw that Tang Muxin and the others were running, they, too, started running.

Then, the ones in the air also followed suit. The situation was like a rolling snowball gaining momentum and in the end, the entire hundred-meter wide shopping street was packed with people running. Many were asking their neighbors as they ran, “Brother, what are you doing? Is it a marathon?”

The other party had no idea what was going on either. “I have no idea either. I saw everyone running, so I followed!”

Just like that, the situation snowballed and became more and more dangerous. More and more flowers appeared in the hands of the suitors who were pleading with Tang Muxin to accept their offering. God, all we wanted to do was shop and satiate our curiosity, why did it have to become like this?

Looking at the fanatic expressions of those people behind them, the three of them screamed silently. It was an extremely dangerous sign. The frenzied suitors might actually attempt to propose to them on the streets.

If they got proposed to on the street—God, how would they face the world!

As the three of them ran, they felt more and more anxious. Suddenly, Tang Muxin saw a glimmer of hope. She shouted, “That looks like a martial arts dojo ahead. Let’s hide inside!”

“Okay!” “Okay!”

It was a good idea. The three of them immediately covered their faces with their scarves. Suddenly, Ling Xiaoyi pulled the other two and sped up. They rushed through the doors of the martial arts dojo and hid behind the doors.

The situation then got quite interesting.

Those fanatical suitors all rushed into the martial arts dojo without regard for anything. They were all still holding flowers in their hands. The students in the martial arts dojo thought they were here to challenge the dojo or perhaps to hit on their beautiful sister disciples, so they all started attacking the men without further urging.

After a dizzying fight, the suitors were all thrown out of the dojo…

They were finally saved!

“Oh my God.” Tang Muxin let out a shuddering sigh. “This world is crazy!”

“Yeah.” Li Nianwei was also scared and gasping for breath. “It’s even worse than the crazy fans on Earth. This is the first time I have experienced something like this.”

“It’s okay now, it’s okay now.” Ling Xiaoyi wiped the cold sweat off her forehead. “At least we did not cause too much trouble…”

The three women were still in shock and trying to compose themselves when a childish voice suddenly asked, “Big sisters, what are you doing?”

They looked down and saw that it was a boy of about five or six years old. The child looked very beautiful and delicate, with clear and luminous eyes. He was looking at them curiously.

“What a cute little brother. What is your name?” Tang Muxin instantly felt a surge of affection for the boy. She squatted down and asked, “Can you tell me?”

“Oh, Grandpa said that I should not tell strangers my name.” The little boy was obviously a bit shy. He took a step backward and said in embarrassment, “I have to listen to Grandpa!”

This kid.

The more Tang Muxin and the other two looked at the boy, the more they liked him. They were just going to tease him when a youth walked out of the dojo looking for him. He smiled and said, “Shiqi, here you are. It’s almost your turn. Hurry up, get ready.”

“Oh, I almost forgot.” The little boy named Shiqi smacked his head with his hand and said to Tang Muxin and the rest, “Big sisters, I have to go in now. Bye!” Then, he waved and ran in.

“Eh? Is his name Shiqi 1?” Tang Muxin said in surprise. “It’s a very strange name. Come to think of it, he’s such a little child. Is he training at the dojo?”

“I’m not sure.” Li Nianwei thought about it and decided that it was more important to go back first. “I didn’t expect we would cause such a big commotion by going shopping. We should go back to the villa first.”

Ling Xiaoyi also nodded. “Yes, I think so too.”

“That’s right,” Tang Muxin looked around, and then looked at the signboard of the martial arts dojo. “Dragon Tooth Dojo.”

“This is the Dragon Tooth Dojo. Let’s call Li Yang.” Tang Muxin took out the communicator that was especially for use in the Galaxy Alliance. It was a button-sized device that could be pinned on clothing and was very convenient. “Li Yang, where are you? We are at the Dragon Tooth Dojo, come and get us quickly!”
