My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! - Chapter 1581

Chapter 1581: People Buy That?

Qi Xuanxuan’s petite face immediately radiated, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Qiao Mu.

She latched her arm familiarly around Qiao Mu’s while continuously nodding her head.

“Older Sister Qiao, you really are too awesome! I won’t be roaming about alone like a vagrant in the future now.” Qi Xuanxuan smiled while tilting her petite head.

Uh, roaming about like vagrant was a bit exaggerating.

Qiao Mu pulled Qi Xuanxuan’s hand away before coughing lightly with a poker face. “I am 15, born on March 20th. How about you.”

“I am also 15, born in February.”

“Then don’t address me as ‘Older Sister’ in the future.”

“Sure! I’ll call you Xiao Qiao from now on, and you call me Xuanxuan. How about it?”

“Oh, call me Qiaoqiao instead.” Xiao Qiao didn’t sound too pleasing to the ear.

“Okay! You are Qiaoqiao while I am Xuanxuan. Good, good. It sounds much better this way.” This girl was so delighted that she could fly just because of a nickname. It truly was comical.

Our dear Qiao Mu suppressed the corners of her mouth and did her best to maintain a straight face. Afterwards, she said solemnly, “Let’s stay over in this Deyi Inn tonight.”

“Ha? Stay here! That will cost so much money.”

“Shopkeeper, we’d like to stay for a night.”

“Alrighty. This miss, our humble establishment does honest business and only charges 20 spirit currency per night!”

“What?” Before Qi Xuanxuan could exclaim, the shopkeeper pointed straight at the price board across from them. “We cheat neither old nor young! Prices are clearly indicated!”

“Then do you also provide tomorrow’s breakfast!”

“Of course it is not included.” The shopkeeper turned to grimace at Qi Xuanxuan, whereupon they engaged in a staring contest.

F*ck, you wish! Instead of requesting for tomorrow’s breakfast to be included, why don’t you say to also include tomorrow’s lunch too?

Qiao Mu took out her money pouch and counted out 20 spirit currency for him, plus two extra. “Prepare some hot water!”

“Alrighty!” After the shopkeeper collected the money, he responded brightly.

Look, he just liked little misses like this stoic face. They didn’t speak much, didn’t haggle and paid readily, and had a frank temper. Wasn’t that right!

Qi Xuanxuan rolled her eyes. When she met the shopkeeper’s gaze, they both harrumphed.

“This shopkeeper really is black-hearted.”

“Alright, we’re only staying here for a night. I reckon that my senior brothers and them will arrive tomorrow.”

“Then that truly would be great. We would be able to make it to Sunlight Academy before the 25th to take the exam.”

“Mhm.” Qiao Mu nodded and then stretched out her hand for the snakelet to coil around her wrist.

The white snakelet’s body was heated like a piece of warm jade. When coiled around her wrist without moving, it looked like a wrist bangle.

“Shopkeeper, on my way here, I saw that there were quite a few talisman shops in your city. Is business usually good?”

“Of course. You have no idea, Miss! An ordinary protective talisman in the talisman shop will sell for fifty spirit currency.”

“Uh, protective talisman?” Qiao Mu was stunned. “People buy that?”

“Aiyo, Little Miss, you might not know since you’ve just gotten here. These years in Shuntian Prefecture, people only grudge the lack of talismans available. There never has been an instance where no one buys it.”

“Protective talismans and immobilization talismans are hot sellers.”

“Oh.” Qiao Mu nodded slightly. “Protective talismans can court luck and avoid calamity. Besides this, they don’t seem to have any particular use.”

“Aiyo, that protective talisman is particularly effective against ghost spirits.”

“As long as you bear a mid-rank yellow protective talisman, it will guarantee that no ghost spirits will get close to you within 48 hours.”
