Vol 2 Chapter 27

An Xu came to the old place and saw Chris’ figure.

Mr. Ranger was as tall and straight as he remembered, with short blond hair blown by the wind. He turned his back to An Xu, staring at the sky in a daze. So An Xu tiptoed over, reached a place only a few steps away, and took a few steps to run up.

The girl hit Chris on the back like a cannonball, knocking him staggering a few steps, almost losing his footing. His body was tense, and he looked a little startled, and he relaxed when he realized the reaction, and complained in a doting voice: “Again, Ann, if I don’t stand still, you will be caught Squeeze.”

“Aren’t you standing still?” Ann giggled and hugged her even tighter. Her two arms strangled Chris’s chest, and her legs were suspended in the air, like a backpack wrapped around a young man. Over the years, their height and physique gap has not decreased but increased, and Chris can drag her under the armpit and shake her up, like teasing a kitten or puppy. Cough, of course that happened last year, this year I am not so childish, An Xu comforted himself.

She hung up for a while, then jumped down, ran to Chris in a few steps, and looked at him nervously. “What’s the matter with you?” she asked. “You don’t look well.”

Last year, Chris was able to call out Anxu when she approached within ten meters, and he could also open his arms to let her rush into his arms, and hug her around a few times. Just now, An Xu had only guessed, but now she was taken aback when she saw Chris’s face. The young man’s face was extremely pale, he lost a lot of weight, and there was a clear blue color under his eyes. She already knew that Chris’ ability was physical enhancement, what made a person who is good at recovery become like this?

“Aren’t you the same?” Chris lowered his eyes and pinched An Xu’s arm, which had no flesh.

“Don’t change the subject!” An Xu frowned, “Are you okay? Are you sick? So you didn’t come yesterday?”

Under her pressure, Chris moved his eyes away, looked around aimlessly, then turned back and said, “There was an accident, and I suffered some serious injuries, but I’m fine now.”

“Are you injured?” An Xu saw his feet all the way from his head, but didn’t see any bandages, but he couldn’t feel at ease at all. She bit her lips regretfully, and said in a low voice, “I’m sorry, I pounced on you just now. Does it hurt?”

“It’s healed.” Chris smiled and touched her head. “It’s just a bit exhausted, and it may take a while to recover. I’m late because I was stumbled by other things, sorry.”

An Xu looked at him suspiciously, not sure if his understatement was true. Realizing that now, An Xu can also understand Chris’s character of swallowing all troubles. He said “somewhat serious”, it must be very serious or even close to death. She wanted to let the healer give Chris another healing technique, but after thinking about it for a while, she didn’t think of a familiar healer.

“The healer has already healed me.” Seeing her thoughts, Chris said.

“There’s no harm in treating him again!” An Xu made up his mind, holding his hand and going to the seminary. Chris followed her for a few steps cooperatively, but when he approached the outer wall of the seminary, he grabbed her and led her to another road. “I’m not from the Holy See, so don’t bother the healer.” He said, “There is a market in Alinggu today. If you’re not busy, how about shopping with me?”

“Will there be no market in A Linggu?” An Xu muttered. Having said that, she followed Chris along.

Since becoming a divinely favored person, An Xu has become the only student in the academy who can come and go freely. Aunt Mary left, and the newly-appointed precept elder didn’t bother An Xu. Lance has been walking around An Xu since then, and An Xu didn’t bother to bother him because he was so knowledgeable. She went to the market at the bottom of the mountain last year, but there were too few things and she was not very interested.

An Xu originally thought that visiting the bazaar was just an excuse for her not to find a healer, but she didn’t expect that the bazaar in Alingu is really quite large today. There are many more people on the street than last year, and there are many mobile stalls in the gaps of the store, which reminded her of the mobile night market in front of her house. Alingu’s store sells daily necessities and all kinds of religious ornaments as before, and the stalls have everything, many of which An Xujian has never seen before.

“Why are there so many things for sale?” She looked around.

“You are the aborigine here, and you still ask me?” Chris joked.

“Don’t go down the mountain too much, I’m very busy!” A Zhai, who is used to shopping at home, bluffed. She grabbed Chris’s hand to keep from getting lost, and was quickly attracted by the goods.

“What is this?” she asked, holding up a gorgeous feather.

“Fire Raven Feather,” Chris said, “throwing it into the fireplace will increase the temperature of the flame.”

“what about this?”

“The raw material is shadow antlers, and the characters written with it cannot be visualized without a special method.”

“What are those white particles?”

“Crystal nucleus.”

“The crystal nuclei are also sold here? So much?” An Xu asked in surprise.

She is not as ignorant as she was at the beginning. Books and exchanges with Chris let her understand the role and preciousness of crystal nuclei. It stands to reason that they should be exclusively supplied to supernatural beings and the black market, and should not be placed in small stalls like this. Sold as jewelry.

“These are the lowest-level crystal nuclei, and they contain very little energy.” Chris picked up a piece the size of a fingernail and looked at the light. “It’s not very useful for supernatural beings, but for devout believers But it can be used to worship the gods.”

“This little brother is right!” The peddler said earnestly, “God divided the authority to punish sinners, created devils and strange beasts, and returned God’s gifts in their bodies. For those of us who have not received God’s grace It is the best expression of piety for believers!”

“But no matter how small a mosquito is, it’s still meat, right?” An Xu asked, “No matter how many consumables there are, they are still useful. Why didn’t you see crystal nuclei sold loose in previous years?”

“Because the alien beast disaster has become more serious.” Chris said.

“That’s right!” The peddler complained, “This year’s Bungalow defense line is full of beasts, and the prices of materials and crystal nuclei on the beasts have plummeted. There is no way out for small businesses!”

Summer is the idle period for the Tibes defense line in the south, but it is the beast tide season for the Vengalo defense line. Abery, which is close to the Tibes line of defense, is ushering in the annual vacation, and Alingu, which is close to the Bungala line of defense, can feel the busy atmosphere of preparations.

“I’m afraid it’s not just this year…the number is increasing every year.” Chris whispered.

“Because the once-in-a-decade ‘small animal tide’ is just this year.” The peddler took it for granted, “By next year, it will naturally be less!”

“Ten years ago, I never saw crystal nuclei being sold on the market.” Chris shook his head.

The peddler didn’t bother with him about this issue, and was only focused on selling to the young girl who seemed to have no experience in the world. He talked wildly, but An Xu just looked at it casually. There are no convenient things in the information age, so the gadgets here are just new. Seeing that Chris was so preoccupied and in no mood to go shopping, she tugged at his cuffs and was about to leave.

“Wait a minute, lady!” The peddler shouted holding up a dried flower, “This is the companion rose for the lovebirds. Just smelling it will bring joy to your heart. If two people buy it together, they will be inseparable for the rest of their lives. !”

An Xu turned his head and looked around, making sure that he was calling himself, he was happy.

“Where did you see that I needed to buy this?” she asked.

“I’ve seen countless people, so I can naturally see a loving couple!” The peddler said seriously, “Why don’t you buy one for the gentleman next to you?”

An Xu thought it was very funny, she had never been stalked by a flower seller on Qixi Festival in previous years, but she met them in her dreams. People don’t ask Chris to ask her, is it because she exudes a golden alpha look? An Xu was overwhelmed with joy, and really wanted to say to others, “If we weren’t for you to lose money”, he turned his head and looked at You Tianwai’s worried Chris, and suddenly changed his mind.

“How many do you have here?” she asked.

The hawker’s eyes were shining with gold, and he gave her the loving look of an idiot in love + a rich man. He fished out a large bouquet of roses from under the stall, and told An Xuquan that he could get a 20% discount if he bought them. An Xu didn’t even ask about the price, he threw his wallet on the counter and said richly, “I bought them all!”

One of the great perks of being a Favored is receiving a stipend every semester. This money is enough for a family of ordinary people to live for a whole year. Anxu is a bachelor, eats meals in the cafeteria, and stays for free. The few times she went shopping, she either accompanied Nancy or Esther. As soon as the companions had something they wanted, she bought it immediately. It feels so good to be able to throw money casually for a good friend.

Holding the rose in her hand, she pulled Chris forward, wondering when the other party would find out. After shopping for half a street, Chris finally took a look at her, his eyes widened in shock at the bouquet of roses covering An Xu’s upper body.

This was what An Xu had been waiting for. Taking advantage of Chris’s rigidity, he stuffed the flower into the opponent’s arms and let go of it. Chris hugged the bouquet in a hurry, looked at her, and blinked.

“For you!” An Xu winked.

Chris’ expression of worrying about the country and the people just now disappeared immediately, and his whole face became colorful. He opened his mouth, closed it, and opened his mouth again, as if he was mustering up a lot of courage, he was embarrassed and didn’t know how to send her a good card. An Xu looked at him like this and laughed.

Chris realized in her back-and-forth laughter that the little **** was playing tricks on him again. Mr. Ranger curled his lips, made a face at her, and said, “They’re probably only good for my horses. Horses like this kind of hay.”

“It’s worth it!” The little rich woman said boldly, “The peddler said this flower can make people happy, now you don’t frown, it looks like he didn’t lie to me.”

An alpha treating an omega like this is really a frivolous lover. But no one knew better than Chris that Ann wasn’t trying to be likable, she just wanted to, and it didn’t even take a mind-reader to know. An is such a frank and simple person who lacks routine awareness.

“So it’s time to throw it away?” Chris quipped.

“Throw it away!” An Xu said, and stopped again: “Wait, give me what you don’t want.”

Chris gave her the flowers, she went back to negotiate with the peddler, and soon came back empty-handed. “It’s done!” she said.

“He asked you to refund the flowers?” Chris said, “I thought the peddler couldn’t spit out the money he ate.”

“I returned the flowers to him, and he refunded half of the money so that he can sell it a second time. I achieved my goal with half the money, and no one was wasting it.” An looked at him happily, as if saying, “Look at me. How clever”.

“In the end you spent a lot of money but didn’t get anything.” Chris laughed and couldn’t help but hit her.

“Money can’t buy me, I’m happy!” Ann lifted her chin triumphantly, as if she was taking advantage of others with Chris.

This series of actions of hers completely ruined her previous demeanor of a lover, and her role changed from a courteous alpha to an accomplice seeking praise. It’s funny to say that even colleagues who have worked together for many years still regard Chris as an omega first, whether it is unnecessary protection, purposeful flattery, or intentional or unintentional contempt. No one is as relaxed and happy as this girl who does whatever she wants.

“As long as you are willing, otherwise it would be terrible if you have to propose to me.” Chris said, before blurting out what he thought he would never confide, “I just got divorced.”
