After Sun Fuyu left, Wen Zhihao decided to return to his room and sleep, since he was woken up way too early that morning!
By the time he woke up, it was an hour before he needed to go. He checked that he had all the things in his spatial ring. He also skimmed over some of the jade slips. The beginner information flowed easily into his mind, as the original ‘Wen Zhihao’ had already thoroughly learnt these things. As for the sword cultivation manuals…it was really too much effort to try and practice the moves. Wen Zhihao had no allusions about his level of body coordination.
Before he left, Wen Zhihao stuck a sign on his door.
He reached the meeting point 5 minutes or so before time and was surprised to see that Sun Fuyu was already there, carrying a folded up blanket.
“Wen-shixiong!” Sun Fuyu immediately looked embarrassed at his outburst. “Wen-shixiong,” he repeated more quietly. “Are we going to the town?”
Actually, Wen Zhihao had meant to go out to the forest, but he didn’t want to make Sun Fuyu feel even more embarrassed.
And…Wen Zhihao forgot that there was a town.
“Yes,” Wen Zhihao said, “That was exactly what I was planning to do.”
The town should be in the opposite direction of the forest-area that Wen Zhihao previously explored.
Sun Fuyu smiled happily. Wen Zhihao placed Sun Fuyu’s things into his spatial ring—which was starting to get full, given that it was only a small (cheap) one.
The two stood on their swords and flew. Luckily there was a clear road towards the town, or else they would get lost.
“…Go away! There’s no more space for you on the ox cart!”
“…But all my things…How about another two wen? I need to get to the town—”

“—I don’t want you nor your money! Go and walk!”

Wen Zhihao beckoned to Sun Fuyu and both of them descended as the ox cart pulled away, leaving a frustrated woman, her child, and their baskets of things on the roadside.
“Good evening, ma’am,” Wen Zhihao greeted. Sun Fuyu echoed the greeting.
The woman gave them a frightened look. “G-good evening, master cultivators! How can I help you?”
“I think we can help you,” Wen Zhihao said. “We can carry these things for you. We can even fly you straight to town!”
The woman gripped her child’s hand. “…A-and….how much would that cost me?”
“10 wen?” To be honest, Wen Zhihao had no comparison point for the ancient money.
The woman shook her head. “No, I won’t dare do such a thing.”
“…Five wen? The faster you agree, the faster we can go,” Wen Zhihao said. “Truthfully, I need a tiny bit of mortal money…five wen is perfect.”
Sun Fuyu spoke up, “Wen-shixiong is dependable, we really are going to the town.”
After tense deliberation, the woman agreed. In her heart, she knew that if these cultivators truly wanted to do something, she couldn’t stop them anyway.
Wen Zhihao helped tie the woman’s baskets to his sword—he didn’t put them away into his spatial ring, because he suspected she would be extremely nervous. Sun Fuyu was smaller and looked cuter, so he had the woman and her child climb onto Sun Fuyu’s sword to fly to town, with them holding onto Sun Fuyu’s back.
They flew slowly and relatively low to the ground. Eventually, the woman and child eased up a little.
And then they passed by the ox-cart that previously rejected the woman.
Wen Zhihao laughed at their shocked expressions, especially as they bypassed them.
“Where do you need to go? We can take you and these things there directly. It’s no bother for us at all,” Wen Zhihao said graciously and very much in a good mood. “Just point the way”
The woman relented. She was scared when the two of them flew up higher—as going over the town buildings was much faster than weaving through the roads—but she pushed down her fear to direct them to her parents’ house.
Wen Zhihao and Sun Fuyu soon descended. The woman and child quickly hopped off Sun Fuyu’s sword, while Wen Zhihao untied all the baskets.
“Thank you so much!” the woman said in relief. “I can only afford 100 wen—”
“Five was the price,” Wen Zhihao said.
“But—”
“Five, ma’am.”
The woman made a complicated expression but eventually gave them six copper coins. By this time, the gate of the house had opened, and an old man had come out.
“…Daughter? Xiao Ling? Why are you here?”
“…Father died, grandma doesn’t want us…” the child answered.
“Those cultivators…”
“They helped me here!” the woman quickly answered.
Wen Zhihao ignored them and gave those coins directly to Sun Fuyu. “Spending money! We even got an extra wen! It’s all yours. If you want more money, Wen-shixiong will try to find more work, hahaha.”
Sun Fuyu stared at the coins. Unlike Wen Zhihao, he did know that six wen was not a huge amount—Wu Qingqing often spent silver taels of money at a time (1 silver tael = 1000 wen). Even as a child, Sun Fuyu had earned more than this.
But the important thing was that Wen-shixiong had given it all to him! (He conveniently forgot that he had helped carry the woman and child.)
Wen Zhihao felt a little hopeless at Sun Fuyu’s wide-eyed expression. “Come on, the town awaits us, Sun-shidi.”
Sun Fuyu: *carefully holds the six coins* Thank you, Wen-shixiong 🥺🥺
Wen Zhihao: This kid…too easily pleased! How is he going to survive in the harsh world… (little does he know Sun Fuyu’s background)
soooo…… SF is the ML????
Awwww cutie (/≧▽≦)/
Thanks for the chappiee~ ㄟ(≧◇≦)ㄏ
SF why are you so kawaii (:3 」∠)
thanks for the update (≧∇≦)
Thanks for the 4 updates XDThe 2 are adorable @u@
yes. all that matters is that wen zhihao got it for you. make sure he doesn’t learn the value of those six wen (at least not until it’d get awkward to bring the matter up) so that you can keep them for the rest of time.
thanks for the chapters! ♡♡♡♡
Thanks for the chapter ❤❤
Ohh mutch needed fluff!
and someday this cutie become full grown man…
thanks for the chapter~
Background!? Background!? What background? Did I miss something in the past chapters(゜o゜;
There’s not much background but it was briefly mentioned that his “family” didn’t want to feed him and he starved. So I guess he/his family was really poor.
Ohhh (・o・) I thought the author was hinting that his background was some kind of ‘Suddenly a strong cultivation master that has reached 999lvl and does face slapping for a living’ stuff…
This is the best post, loved everything about it。◕‿◕。
Well we doesn’t know SF background also… But we want to! (And WZH seems so naive here… my flower baby).
Asdfghkllhfss Sun Fuyu is so cute! (๑^᎑^๑)♡ I want to adopt him. Also, Wen Zhihao is such a sweetie
you’ll have to get in line, Wen Zhihao and aunty Liu Jing want to adopt him first 🤣
Shidi don’t let someone steal your shixiong ayt?
Thank you for the chapter!
At least the flying sword was use as an escort right??
And what background????
Lastly thanks for the multi update 💕💕
So, which one is the Shou and which one is the Gong
WZ and SF, the two of them have the characteristics of both.
Thanks for the chapters!!!

Wait a second… Background????? Did I miss something or is Sun Fuyu going to grow up into a badass? (ಠ_ಠ)
sun fuyuuuu~ baby my wittle baby~~~ make sure you grow up into a good Gong yes! all for the sake of your dumbass floating cloud shou
Thanks for the chapters! The poor boy is developing a crush at the highest speed & all it took is some kindness to start it.
Wen Zhihao is going to continue to show him the kind people of the world~
Is wen zhihao a shou or a gong?
Probably a shou. I think he’ll prefer to be the one lying down and be the receiver in bed and let SF do the work.
Makes perfect sense!!!!! 😱😱😱
Thanks so much for this chapter!! I’m excited to see what they’ll do in town and how the plot(and relationship) progresses
(‘∀’●)♡(‘∀’●)♡

Thank you!
Lol MC needs to tap into their memory of novels, copper coins are always the lowest denomination in fantasy monies.
thanks for the chapter!
that’s true XD but that’s not enough to remember the purchasing power of it among the poor villages 🙈
So cute. Helping out and gaining only a few pennies… WenWen really is a bit airhead. 😅 But the cutie being all happy over those pennies is just way to cute. 😆
Wen Zhihao being a bit clueless about things is also a theme 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Little do any of us know his background lol
author hides
U dont exist lol
Well being carefree and ignorant is the first rule of salted fish profession after all 😂.
Yep!! As long as you don’t know, you don’t stress…. 🤭
Ah wen zhihao u naive fool. should’ve taken the 100 wen instead tsk tsk (fond)
Ahhh sun fuyu is so cute. Ababy. A lil guy. I want to put him in my pocket <333
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 Don’t worry, he’ll get more money in the future~
And Sun Fuyu is indeed a super cutie!
Why do I have a premonition that SF is gonna be from some mega bad@ss powerful heavenly demon clan or sum XD
HAHAHA
QAQ they’re too cute my god!

Thank you for the chapter
Thank you for reading 🥰
