Chapter 40 - chapter 40

  Let's get started!

  Chang Ping exchanged ten bottles of shampoo from the store and gave them to Shen Xiu to sell first. If she could sell them all, he would exchange more.

  "If I go to sell the shampoo, I won't be able to wash your clothes," Shen Xiu said cautiously.

  Chang Ping waved his hand: "It's okay, it's all your work anyway. You can wash them after you sell them all, I'm not in a hurry."

  You win!

  Shen Xiu gave a soft snort, put the shampoo into her spatial ring, put on a brand new sexy red dress, and swayed away from the dormitory, her waist slender.

  "Lazybones!" Chang Ping muttered, standing up.

  He poured Shen Xiu's bathwater and then carefully mopped the floor.

  After finishing all this, Chang Ping also left the dormitory, locked the door, and went to class.

  Martial Arts Beginner Class.

  The students arrived early, chatting noisily like a flock of chirping sparrows.

  When Chang Ping entered, the classroom suddenly fell into a brief silence.

  Everyone both admired and feared this formidable man.

  The materialistic woman, quick-witted as ever, stood up to let Chang Ping pass.

  Chang Ping didn't even glance at her, striding past to his seat.

  Seeing Chang Ping beside her, Ye Ziyun instinctively wanted to pinch her nose; she didn't want to smell the muttony odor emanating from him.

  Ye Ziyun slowly lowered her hand; she didn't smell mutton, but rather the fragrance of roses.

  "Chang Ping, are you wearing perfume?" Ye Ziyun asked tentatively.

  Although she was the city lord's daughter, she was approachable and got along well with everyone.

  "No! I just took a bath," Chang Ping replied casually. He wasn't interested in a naive girl like Ye Ziyun; he now preferred mature women like Shen Xiu.

  He noticed that Ye Ziyun was wearing light makeup and an elegant white silk dress today, making her look exceptionally youthful and beautiful.

  "Changping, could you take another picture of me?" Ye Ziyun pleaded, her voice soft.

  "No problem!" Changping readily agreed, "But this time you have to pay."

  "Huh? I have to pay?" Ye Ziyun was taken aback.

  Changping took out a point-and-shoot camera from his small ring, turning it on as he said, "Of course, there's no such thing as a free lunch. If someone is friendly to you for no reason, they definitely have ulterior motives. Either they want money or sex, understand, little girl?"

  As he spoke, he glanced back at the blond-haired boy in the back of the classroom.

  Ye Ziyun followed his gaze.

  Was Changping implying that the bad boy in the back of the classroom was plotting against her?

  She was quick-witted and had noticed someone blatantly spying on her from behind long ago. Changping's reminder immediately put her on alert.

  Ye Ziyun frowned, glared at Nie Li with disgust, and turned back.

  "How much for a portrait?" Ye Ziyun asked.

  Chang Ping held up one finger.

  "One hundred spirit coins?" Ye Ziyun nodded. "Not too expensive."

  She was the city lord's only daughter; one hundred spirit coins wasn't even a fraction of her monthly allowance.

  "Are you trying to fob me off? It's ten thousand spirit coins!" Chang Ping corrected her.

  He knew Ye Ziyun was a wealthy young woman and wouldn't be short of money.

  "This...this is too expensive!" Ye Ziyun was shocked by Chang Ping's outrageous demand.

  An ordinary family in Radiant City only spent a little over two thousand spirit coins a year.

  Even as a direct descendant of a top-tier family, her monthly allowance was only a little over ten thousand spirit coins.

  Chang Ping wanted a month's allowance from her for just one painting?

  "Could...could you make it cheaper?" Ye Ziyun asked timidly. She wanted to use her allowance to buy some Soul Gathering Pills.

  She would soon break through to Bronze One Star and urgently needed pills to boost her soul power.

  "No!" Chang Ping shook his head firmly. "However, I can give you a beautiful photo frame."

  Exchanging a photo frame only cost a little power, the same price as a torch—very cheap.

  Chang Ping exchanged five photo frames, lining them up on the table for Ye Ziyun.

  From left to right: triangular, square, rectangular, circular, and heart-shaped.

  "Let me think about it..." Ye Ziyun didn't immediately agree.

  "No problem." Chang Ping put the point-and-shoot camera and photo frames back into his small ring.

  Exchanging from the shop and taking them out of the ring were both instantaneous, with the same effect. Even if he exchanged items from the shop in full view of everyone, no one would suspect anything.

  Hearing that Chang Ping's paintings cost 10,000 demon spirit coins each, the female students' hearts trembled, fearing that Chang Ping would ask them for money; they weren't as wealthy as Ye Ziyun.

  Xiao Ning'er secretly rejoiced that she hadn't let Chang Ping paint for her.

  However, until noon when school ended, Chang Ping didn't ask any of the female students for money.

  Some couldn't hold back any longer and asked him about the fees after school.

  Chang Ping smiled and explained, "The first time is free; I'll charge you the second time."

  The female students breathed a sigh of relief, their eyes filled with gratitude as they looked at Chang Ping.

  Xiao Ning'er's impression of Chang Ping also improved slightly.

  "Hypocritical!" Shen Yue snorted; he didn't believe Chang Ping would be so kind.

  Chang Ping coldly glanced at Shen Yue: Is this good-for-nothing itching for a massage again, wanting his uncle to give him a good beating?

  One punch from him now could probably rupture Shen Yue's bladder.

  You must know that internal force can ignore defense and strike directly at internal organs.

  Having resolved the female students' issues, Chang Ping dashed out of the classroom like a whirlwind, rushing towards the second floor of the academy cafeteria.

  He packed up all the sesame seed cakes and then hurried back to his dormitory.

  Shen Xiu hadn't returned yet; she was probably having dinner at her wealthy friend's house.

  Chang Ping took the sesame seed cakes from his large spatial ring on his left hand, placed them on the rickety table, and began eating them one after another.

  Despite finishing over a thousand cakes, Chang Ping wasn't feeling full at all.

  "Looks like I'll have to eat high-grade demon beast meat to feel full." He was starting to miss the taste of mutton.

  Unfortunately, there were no more horned sheep in the Trial Grounds.

  Moreover, Ye Sheng had already blacklisted him, forbidding him from entering the Trial Grounds again to harm the demon beasts there.

  Just as he was pondering where to hunt demon beasts, Shen Xiu pushed open the door, carrying a pile of luxury goods.

  "You...you didn't spend all your earnings on these useless things, did you?" Chang Ping was a little angry. Shen Xiu was truly a woman who was more trouble than she was worth!

  "You miser!" Shen Xiu glared at him and explained, "I didn't buy these; they were gifts from the wealthy ladies. Ten bottles of shampoo weren't enough to go around; they were all gone in a flash. Those ladies who didn't get any gave me gifts, hoping I'd get another batch."

  Shen Xiu was waiting for Chang Ping to praise her.

  Unexpectedly, Chang Ping walked over, rummaged through her pockets, and asked, "Where's the money? Where did you hide it? Hand it over!"
