Chapter 268: Two hundred and sixty-seven, scavenge

Luo Shu glanced over several stalls and noticed that most of them had some good stuff. These days, it’s rare to come across fakes among these ancient paintings and antiques. The most important thing is that in this era, there are many poor people who can’t even afford to eat, so who would have the spare change to buy these antiques?

"That old book stall is just up ahead," Mu Wan said, pointing to a stall in front of them.

Luo Shu nodded and followed Mu Wan towards it, thinking about picking out a few good antiques to take home later.

The books at the old book stall were also ancient texts, many of which were thread-bound editions.

"How much for these books?" Luo Shu asked. Even if she didn’t find the book she needed this time, getting these books would still be a great find.

"By weight, thirty cents per jin. If you buy a lot, I can give you a discount to twenty-five cents per jin," the stall owner said with a smile. It wasn’t often he had customers, so he naturally wanted to be enthusiastic.

"Okay!" Luo Shu nodded and squatted down to set aside some thread-bound books that she’d taken an interest in. She then searched among the remaining books for what she was looking for.

Mu Wan looked on in surprise at the pile of books Luo Shu had set aside. "Are all these books for you?" She wasn’t worried about the money; she was more concerned about how they were going to carry so many books back.

Luo Shu smiled and nodded, "I’ll give you half once I’m done buying." These books would be of immense value in the future.

Mu Wan politely declined with a shake of her head, "I don’t want them. My dad’s study is already piled high with such books."

"All right then!" Luo Shu continued to pick out the books she wanted.

"With so many books, how are we going to take them back?" Mu Wan asked with a worried face. Carrying so many books would be difficult even for two strong men, let alone the two of them.

"I’ll carry them," Luo Shu said matter-of-factly. With her current Qi Refining First Layer strength, carrying these books was no trouble at all.

"Are you sure you can carry them?" Mu Wan sized up Luo Shu’s slightly taller figure with a speechless shake of her head.

Seeing that there were no more books she needed, Luo Shu said to the stall owner, "That’s all for now. Please weigh them and put them into a sack for me."

"Alright!" The owner happily agreed and quickly packed the books Luo Shu had chosen into a sack and weighed them. "One hundred and two jin. Since you’re buying a lot, I’ll just round it off for you."

"Thank you!" Luo Shu paid the owner and lifted the sack, saying to Mu Wan, who was staring blankly, "Let’s go! We’ll check out other places."

"You’re really born with incredible strength! What? You’re going to buy more?"

Leaving Jingliang Street, not only was Luo Shu carrying bags both big and small, but Mu Wan also had two bags in her hands. However, the weight she carried was naturally incomparable to Luo Shu’s.

"I really don’t understand why you would buy these old things!" Mu Wan said with a speechless look on her face as she put the items in the rear compartment.

"These things aren’t worth much now, but they could be worth a fortune in the future. Are you sure you don’t want some?" Luo Shu asked, raising an eyebrow. At the same time she closed the rear compartment, she stored all the items in her space. Many of them were fragile ceramics – breaking even one would cost quite a bit.

"I don’t want them!" Mu Wan shook her head. In her view, these were just used goods. Moreover, who could say what the future would be like?

After dropping Mu Wan off at school, Luo Shu was about to drive away when she saw Yun Han appear in front of her car.

She raised an eyebrow in surprise and looked at Yun Han, who had already opened the door and gotten into the car, "You didn’t wait here on purpose for me, did you?" Otherwise, how could she have stumbled upon him again after going around for so long?

Yun Han nodded, "I want you to accompany me to a place."

"No!" Luo Shu refused without hesitation. She had been tricked badly by him last time; had it not been for Xiao Qing, she’d be nothing but bones now. Although he gave her a lot of Spirit Stones, what use would they be if she were dead?

"That place has a lot of Spirit Stones," Yun Han said temptingly.

Luo Shu’s eyes lit up, but she still shook her head, "No!" Where there were Spirit Stones, True Cultivators were numerous. With her current strength, she would be the lowest ranked, even if she went. Forget Spirit Stones – it would be good if she could just save her own life.

"I will ensure your safety," Yun Han said with conviction.

"I said no, but you can tell me about the place," Luo Shu said with interest.

"It’s called Dual Cultivation Sect. They’re hosting a Dual Cultivation Couples Contest this time. Any couple, no matter their Cultivation, can participate, and the prize money is substantial," Yun Han explained. He came to the school today to look for Xiang Feiyan, but she happened to be out. As he worried about where to find a partner, he saw Luo Shu.

Luo Shu nodded in understanding, "Are you getting out now, or do you need me to drop you somewhere?" Although it sounded interesting, she was just a stranger to Yun Han and naturally wouldn’t go with him to that so-called Dual Cultivation Couples Contest. If it had been Hanmo, she would definitely have participated.

"The first prize is ten thousand Top-Quality Spirit Stones. Are you sure you won’t reconsider?" Yun Han persisted in tempting her.

"Ten thousand Top-Quality Spirit Stones?!" Before Luo Shu could respond, Xiao Qing, the foodie pet, excitedly exclaimed, "Master, let’s go! Let’s go for the Spirit Stones! You rob them, I’ll fight."

Luo Shu rolled her eyes without saying a word, "Not interested!"

Seeing that Luo Shu was unmoved, Yun Han could only shake his head helplessly, "Fine, then take me to Yueting Town."

Luo Shu nodded, stepped on the gas, and the car shot off like an arrow, quickly disappearing at the end of the street.

Two hours later, the car stopped in Yueting Town.

"Here we are. Get out!" Luo Shu said to Yun Han beside her.

"Thank you!" Yun Han smiled, expressed his thanks, opened the door, and prepared to get out.

Suddenly, his expression changed; he quickly grabbed Luo Shu and pulled her out of the car.

Luo Shu also felt the danger. As Yun Han grabbed her, she rolled out of the car with him.

Just as they rolled out, there was a loud "boom!" The car exploded into pieces.

Luo Shu stared blankly at her car, now reduced to scraps. This scene reminded her of her last moments in her previous life when she felt the danger and was about to get out. Then, the doctor beside her suddenly wrapped his arm around her waist.

In that moment of distraction, the car exploded, and she didn’t even have time to enter her space.
