"Take the blow!"
Bang!
A burst of dust rose from the ground. Shi Hu took back his stick, stared at the unscathed Yu Sheng, and said with surprise: "Brother, your skill improved a lot within just three days. I could not hit you even with my Thirty-six Ways of Monk Waving Stick."
Yu Sheng was also secretly surprised. He said with a marvelous look: "Yeah! I feel my whole body is lighter since the cultivation of Unfettered Ferry. Didn't expect such a big difference among cultivation methods--Previously, I was like a piece of iron, but now I'm goose feather."
The two of them stopped after several rounds of fighting.
Shi nodded helplessly: "But don't you cultivate my Suffer Beating? You'll be more formidable after mastering it. It won't make sense if you can't suffer beating, though you run fast and slide like a loach."
Shi insisted that Yu should learn the bullshit Suffer Beating. "…" Yu was depressed, and refused: "Forget about it! It would take me lots of time to master your Suffer Beating, and considering my talent, I would probably be beat to death before completing the cultivation."
Shi's face was full of pity. He mumbled to himself: "Would it? But I think you'll master it very soon. Let's go to have a feast!"
"Feast?" Yu Sheng was speechless, worrying that Shi wanted to take him to that buffet again.
But Shi smiled and drew an invitation card from his bosom. "This is the list of Mingzhu's birthday party. I'll go to propose a marriage, and you're in charge of enjoying the feast."
"I…" Yu Sheng looked Shi Hu up and down, and found him having no valuable things. "About proposing a marriage, you're not serious, are you?"
Shi looked bewildered and said earnestly: "Of course I'm serious. I've promised Mingzhu, and I must make his father agree."
"Just dressing like this?" Yu Sheng was speechless after looking Shi Hu up and down.
Shi stretched himself and asked Yu with puzzle: "What's wrong? This is cool, and I always dress this way."
A worn-out T-shirt, short trousers and a pair of relatively normal sneakers…Yu Sheng swallowed some silver, and he was thinking Shi Hu would be lucky if Luo Mingzhu's father could let him in after seeing his clothing.
Yu Sheng hasted to stop him: "You should at least bring some betrothal presents if you want to propose. You haven't prepared the presents, so forget about it, and propose another day."
Shi Hu patted his head and took a tumble. "I forget. I'll buy several bottles of Chenji White Spirit, but it's expensive—6 yuan per bottle, and buy some fruits. Not enough? What else can I buy?"
Hearing about what Shi Hu wanted to buy as presents, Yu Sheng was petrified. Shi's presents were less valuable than the invitation card in his hands.
Leaving aside whether Shi's presents would be accepted, how angry the host might be on seeing these cheap items at a luxurious banquet?
"Let's go! Buy presents and go to the banquet." Shi Hu said excitedly.
Yu Sheng was speechless and stopped him. "Wait. Wait. Damn it. I don't want to be kicked out as soon as we get in. Here you are."
While talking, Yu directly used 500,000 RMB to exchange for a big refined pellet and gave it to Shi.
Shi received the pellet case and asked with puzzlement: "So big. What's this?"
"Big refined pellet! It can enhance your cultivation ability. Of course, it only strengthens you the first time you eat it." Yu Sheng was disappointed.
He didn't want to accompany Shi who only took several bottles of white spirit to propose, which would humiliate him.
Shi was surprised and took the big refined pellet. "So terrific? It's really a great present, but it must be very expensive."
"Not that expensive but fairly rare. It, to some extent, is a thing of luck, since several precious medicinal materials in it are nearly extinct, and it's hard to collect all kinds of medicinal materials at the same time. Of course, some of them can be replaced, but the core is hard to find. Anyway, it's better than your white spirit," explained Yu Sheng.
But Shi Hu was speechless. "This case is too small and taking it out could not create a high-end atmosphere. We still have time now, so why not make a bigger case."
