Chapter 532: Chapter 532: The Good-for-Nothings

Ying County was considerably prosperous, even Dai County could not match it.

Here, merchants were everywhere, and the streets teemed with pedestrians, giving the illusion of a peaceful and prosperous era.

Bai Junjun and Li Wenli, having come from The Apocalypse with nothing, found the rich resources of the ancient world almost dreamlike.

The others had been displaced by war for three years, not to mention Bai Lingyu and her brother, Xiao Chan and the others were orphans from the war. If not for Li Wenli taking them in, they would likely have starved to death long ago.

Therefore, everyone was quite moved by the peace they saw before them.

"Wouldn’t it be wonderful if the whole world were this peaceful."

Bai Junjun and Li Wenli were deeply touched.

Indeed, in such a land of abundance, why wouldn’t thriving and living in peace be wonderful?

The selfishness of those in power lays waste to more than just their own futures.

Only when humanity was tottering on the brink of extinction, would they realize the enormity of their sins.

However, modern people were unaware of this, an ancient people were even less likely to realize it.

Therefore, such wars would only repeat themselves time and again in the annals of history, until humanity came to an end.

The two strolled slowly through the streets, marveling at the glory of prosperity and reflecting on the human tragedy.

The other people, lacking this deep understanding, were not as contemplative; they hadn’t eaten lunch yet, and captivated by the allure outside, they were soon drawn to a noodle shop.

Bai Junjun and Li Wenli snapped back to reality, seeing a line of Little Radish Heads with drooling looks, and they led everyone into the noodle shop for a good meal.

The noodle shop owner was thrilled to see nine well-dressed young men and women enter his shop, assuming they were from wealthy families, and happily invited them to sit.

Of course, one table was not enough, and they ended up needing two tables.

Then the noodle shop owner began to chatter endlessly about his specialties.

Plain noodles, warm noodles, fish slice noodles, stewed pork noodles—you name it.

Bai Junjun’s eyes lit up and she asked the owner to bring one of each.

At first, the owner thought they meant one of each for the table; it took a while to realize the young lady meant one of each per person.

The owner was momentarily stunned.

All four varieties of noodles, could they possibly finish them all?

As it turned out, some people were born gluttons.

Today, the shop owner encountered nine of them.

When they had noisily and voraciously finished four bowls of noodles each, the shop owner was astounded.

Could these people possibly be incarnations of the Gluttonous Monster?

Looking at the silver coin they left behind, the shop owner was moved to tears.

The Flower Goddess truly was effective. He had only wished to prosper this year, and it was already coming true. At this rate, he would soon gather enough silver coins to buy his brother back from the battlefield.

The satiated group, unaware of the shop owner’s grand ambitions, blissfully rubbed their bulging bellies as they walked out.

Outside, there were still plenty of delicious and fun things to be had—wooden toys, masks, lanterns, and countless other items.

Bai Junjun, having captured bandits in Dai County, had exchanged them for quite a bit of gold and silver, and had earned some hard cash in An County.

At this moment, having accumulated a modest fortune, she was therefore quite generous as she led Bai Sasa and the others shopping.

Whenever she saw suspicious drool in the eyes of the children, she grandly waved her hand and declared "buy, buy, buy."

Li Wenli, looking at the quickly accumulating bags among the group, shook his head helplessly.

"You spoil them too much," he said.

"Money is meant to be spent," Bai Junjun replied, as if it were the most obvious thing in the world.

Li Wenli smiled warmly as they passed a Pearl Hairpin Shop, giving it a thoughtful glance.

"You want one?" Bai Junjun asked, puzzled.
