Free Web NovelLi Mo was teaching Ice Cube his mother's ultimate haggling tricks.
“Ice Cube, what’s the most important thing when haggling? It’s Aura! You have to be fierce!”
“Like this?”
Ying Bing knitted her delicate brows, her snow-colored eyes gleaming with a faint, deep light.
Xiao Li leaned back slightly:
“Uh, well, you don’t have to be that fierce. We’re haggling, not cutting people.”
“.....”
Ying Bing felt that her expression and Li Mo’s were clearly the same.
To be precise, Li Mo’s Ice Cube-like face was learned from her...
“I know!”
Li Mo held up a finger, the Genius Xiao Li had found a solution!
He took the newly bought white cat plush hat and plopped it onto Ice Cube’s head.
Ying Bing wore the plush hat, her cold jade-like face enveloped by the white fur. Her expression remained cool and detached, but the aggressive look that suggested she might cut you with a sword was gone.
After all, a cold cat is also cute.
Ice Cube, Cat Hat Limited Edition!
“It suits you quite well.”
“.....”
So, Li Mo led Ying Bing, strolling through the market.
His mother’s Supreme martial art of haggling, with its first form, Dragon Slaying Blade, second form, I’m an Expert, third form, You’re Earning Too Little, and fourth form, I’ll Leave If You Don’t Sell, was originally invincible.
Now, a new move had been added!
Ice Cube, be fierce!
Thus, the Tiger Vanguard and the White Cat King set out, leaving a trail of lamentation throughout the street.
A set of smooth, continuous moves made all the small vendors on this street remember that peerless face.
Later, a rumor even spread in Qinghe County!
Madam Li’s Xiao Li haggled even more fiercely!
The Hengyun Three Heroes, peeking out from under a tree and witnessing this scene, once again fell into deep contemplation, like bewildered fruits on a bewildered tree, with you and me beneath it.
Do Prodigies usually... act so down-to-earth?
What about the promised transcendent Supreme martial art, diligent cultivation, and secret weapons?
They even haggled over a candied haw!
After a while, the New Year's market was almost finished for the two of them. They had bought many things, and some items they hadn't managed to get even ◆ Nоvеlіgһt ◆ (Only on Nоvеlіgһt) with the Supreme martial art of haggling.
Li Mo glanced at the sky, carrying large and small bags, planning to go home for New Year's Eve dinner.
“That’s enough, let’s go back.”
“Wait for me a moment.”
“What are you going to do?”
Li Mo was stunned. The figure wearing the white cat hat had already turned around and gone back into the market.
Perhaps there were a few things she wanted to buy, and she was going back to get them?
“Hoo...”
Looking at the market as dusk approached, Li Mo stood in the snow, exhaling a puff of white Qi.
A moment later, Ying Bing returned, holding the boy with a large head and carefully re-hanging it on her waist. ƒrēewebnovel.com
“What did you buy?”
“I won’t tell you.”
“Tsk tsk, I didn’t really want to know anyway...”
Li Residence.
The family was busy preparing New Year’s Eve dinner, with his mother and father personally cooking, bustling in the kitchen.
The Li Residence was decorated with lanterns and colorful streamers, dispelling the darkness of the cold night, and fine snow fell in the courtyard.
Li Mo, wearing a tiger-head hat, was organizing the newly bought New Year goods at the entrance, pulling out firecrackers and lighting them with his karmic fire for fun.
Ying Bing sat on the clean steps, her white cat hat tilted, her eyes illuminated by the sight of the young man setting off firecrackers, her snow-filled gaze appearing soft.
Li Dalong clicked his tongue, looking at the two of them, and suddenly felt a sense of relief. He turned to look at Gu Xueqin, who was cooking, and asked:
“My dear, do you think your method will work?”
“What if they just need a little push from us? Besides, even if it doesn’t settle things, we won’t have interfered too much.”
“That’s true. My dear, are the dishes ready? I’ll bring them over.”
As everyone knows.
The parents of a Genius are always full of ideas.
Although they claimed not to interfere in the affairs of the younger generation, the Li couple had their own methods.
“Son, Xiao Binger, dinner’s ready!”
Old Li called out to them, and seeing that both had gone to the main hall, he then carried a freshly cooked dish into the hall.
“Father, you never entered the kitchen before.”
Li Mo took off his tiger-head hat, feeling a bit strange.
His father not only learned to ‘manipulate everyone’ from the teacher but also often spouted principles like ‘a gentleman keeps his distance from the kitchen.’
He wouldn’t even wash his own bowl after eating, yet today he went to the kitchen to bring out a dish.
“This dish was personally made by your mother, how can it be the same?”
“It looks good. What’s it called?”
Li Mo picked up a piece for Ying Bing and also tasted some himself.
“Delicious.”
Ying Bing’s lips were coated with a glistening layer of oil.
“Husband and Wife Lung Slices.”
“???”
Comrade Li Dalong had done his homework very carefully this time. He pointed to the cold dish and explained in detail:
“This Husband and Wife Lung Slices, you see, symbolizes a couple’s unity, meaning husband and wife should support each other, cooperate fully, and create a beautiful life together...”
“.....”
Intimate?
Work together?
Listening to his father’s eloquent explanation, Xiao Li couldn’t help but recall a few scenes.
In Southern Xinjiang, he was Black Earth Immortal, and she was the Saintess of the Myriad Manifestation Sect...
At Lanke Mountain, he handled external affairs, and Ice Cube handled internal affairs. Their seamless cooperation allowed them to pass the chess game, fooling the Demon Summoning Cultists into a daze.
If he were to learn this dish, would it still be called Husband and Wife Lung Slices...?
And that wasn't all.
“Here, this is called Sharing Joys and Sorrows, and that one is A Hundred Years of Harmony.”
“This Wife Cake also tastes good, Xiao Mo, eat more.”
“Husband Soup also has a great origin, your mother specially learned it.”
Old Li was good with his words, rattling off dish names one after another.
Soon, Gu Xueqin also joined the fray, continuously putting food on their plates.
Soon, both their bowls were piled high with dishes, all named after couples or wives.
“Father, Mother, what is the meaning of this? I’m still young.”
Li Mo said helplessly.
“We made it for ourselves to celebrate our unity and cooperation as husband and wife this year. What does it have to do with you?” Comrade Li Dalong took a sip of wine.
Li Mo glanced at Ying Bing, whose cheeks were moving slightly, and then, imitating her, he nonchalantly began to eat, ignoring the names of the dishes on the table.
Actually, the couple also wanted to directly ask for their thoughts.
But they had also discussed it and feared that too much interference from elders might backfire.
Anyway, looking at Binger and Xiao Mo, it seemed that letting things take their natural course wouldn't be much longer.
So at the dinner table, the couple felt an itch in their hearts but didn’t ask or say anything more.
The meal lasted about half an hour, and Li Mo finished first, getting up and returning to his room.
“I’m going back to my room first.”
“Wait.”
“What’s wrong?”
Li Mo turned his head.
“It’s best if you come out of your own room tomorrow morning too, okay?”
Having bustled about without seeing what he wanted to see, Old Li said in an ill-tempered tone.
“Alright!”
Xiao Li shrugged.
He thought his father was going to wish him a happy birthday.
It was another year where everyone celebrated New Year, but no one celebrated his birthday.
