The Growth of a Titan-Chapter 410- Can I Open A Tab Here?
Chapter 410: Chapter 410- Can I Open A Tab Here?
After leaving the old man’s stall, Sol and the others visited a few others and had their fill.
Sol didn’t try to scam another stall owner again, or rather, he couldn’t as the other stall owners were on guard against him.
In such a small space it would be hard for cultivators of their level not to have known he scammed the old man.
Finishing two dumplings in one go, Sol walked out of Jade Alleyway with Mar-Yue and Woo-seong. He then turned to Mar-Yue and asked.
"Do you have anywhere you want to go? Today’s all about what you want."
Mar-Yue smiled before she thought for a moment and soon her eyes lit up.
"Can we go to a clothes store? I love the dresses Aunty makes for me, but I always wanted to see the kind of dresses Jianghu makes."
"You just want to see them? Why don’t you get a few, I’ll buy them for you."
Mar-Yue’s smile grew wider, and she cutely nodded her head.
"I’ll lead the way."
Woo-seong said as he stepped forward and led the couple to a busy street that had more than a few stores on either side.
They chose to approach the largest one which seemed to have more customers.
"Azure Dragon Palace, what a grand and noble name."
Sol couldn’t help but say when he saw the name of the store on the signboard above the entrance.
"Azure Dragon Palace? I think I’ve heard of that name before, it’s one of the stores owned by the Great Clans."
Woo-seong said in thought.
Sol looked at him and said.
"Aren’t all the stores here owned by either one of the Holy Sects or the Great Clans?"
Woo-seong nodded, but he was still in thought as he looked at the store’s sign board. Normally something like this wouldn’t bother him, but for some reason, the name of this place triggered such a reaction from him.
It must be because of something significant.
’Is it because of the owner of the store? But I can’t remember which Holy Sect or Great Clan owns it.’
Woo-seong scratched his head as he followed Sol and Mar-Yue inside. He’ll just think about it later.
Upon entering the store, a spacious lower floor entered their view. Before they could look around, a female attendant suddenly had her eyes lit up before she hurriedly walked over.
"Greetings to the Young Masters and the Young Miss, welcome to our Azure Dragon Palace. Is there anything specific you’re looking for?"
"No, it’s my first time inside a store like this so I’ll just look around. But if I find anything I like, I’ll get it."
Mar-Yue said with a smile.
The woman who looked to be in her early twenties was slightly moved by this younger sister’s looks.
Returning the smile, the female attendant nodded and then took out a simple jade slip.
"Our store only displays the most outstanding items in our collection, but if you don’t find anything to your taste on display this jade slip contains the other items we have in stock. However, even though they haven’t been chosen to be on display, they aren’t to be looked down upon in terms of quality and usability."
Mar-Yue nodded and took the jade slip. Afterward, the female attendant guided them into the store.
It was quite spacious with a few people already inside browsing the clothes.
The clothes themselves were displayed in clear jade cases for people to observe but not touch. From a glance, the clothes looked like they were just made before being placed inside these display cases.
"This white dress was made by the renowned seamstress Lady Muyin. It’s one of a kind with a comfortable and adjustable fit. Upon wearing it one would be able to activate the runes within it to absorb Aether Energy three times faster than normal. It also has a few defensive formations that would be able to resist several blows from a Sky Expanse Spiritual Realm Cultivator."
After introducing more than a few dresses and cultivation robes, the female attendant soon introduced this white dress.
It was unlike the others that had intricate designs, and it instead had a plain but regal look to it.
The attendant had tactfully past the other dresses as she could sense that Mar-Yue wasn’t interested in them. She had long come to realize that these youths’ visit to the store was too due to her, so she paid special attention to Mar-Yue.
That was how she was able to pick up on Mar-Yue’s interest in this white dress the instant she introduced it.
To sell the dress even more, the female attendant skillfully added a few more words.
"This dress might not be as expensive as the others but in terms of practicality, it’s among the best. Even considering Lady Muyin had to take into account its look when designing it, I have to say despite its plain appearance it has a sense of simple stylishness that could highlight one’s beauty. This dress even comes with a matching set."
The female attendant pointed to the side where a set of white cultivation robes for males was on display.
She then smiled and said offhandedly.
"No doubt if worn by the Young Master and Young Lady, they would resemble an immortal couple and be envied by many people." ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
Mar-Yue smiled and turned to look at Sol. Returning the smile Sol looked at her and asked softly.
"Do you want it?"
Mar-Yue nodded.
"You should get the matched set too."
Sol paused; it seemed this female attendant’s words were extremely effective.
He wasn’t planning on buying any cultivation robes for himself, but he quickly nodded his head in agreement.
Seeing this, the female attendant’s eyes couldn’t help but brighten by several folds, and she hurriedly called over another male shop attendant. After whispering a few words to that male attendant who soon left, the female attendant turned to Sol and Mar-Yue before saying with a smile.
"I’ve ordered for the dress and the matching robes to be packed for the Young Master and Young Lady. We can leave now, and I’ll complete the transaction, or we can continue browsing. There are many more exquisite dresses on the other floors."
"We’ll continue browsing, but do you have any cultivation robes for females? Dresses aren’t practical to do battle in."
Mar-Yue said, and the female attendant nodded.
"If Young Miss looks inside the jade slip I gave you, you’ll see a section just for that."
Suddenly, runes appeared inside the jade case for the white dress and white cultivation robes before they vanished.
Seeing this, Sol wasn’t surprised as he had noticed some teleportation runes inside all of the jade cases here.
Mar-Yue had already started browsing the jade slip, and Sol sent out his Soul Energy to observe it as well.
The female attendant finally had time to turn her attention to Woo-seong. Perhaps she could snag another sky-high sale. The commission she would get for those two items was already worth several months of her salary, another sale would undoubtedly make her heart overcome with joy.
Woo-seong was a few rows down observing a black combat robe that was etched with golden threads at its seams.
Inside the jade case, there was a small ledge at eye-level that had a small tablet that detailed the creator of the combat robes, and the cultivation effects it had.
After reading it he was quite tempted to buy it. However, he soon saw the price and it caused his heart to shudder.
"Two million high-grade Aether Stones? What a rip-off."
Woo-seong couldn’t help but curse under his breath.
After two weeks of working for Sol, he received one hundred thousand high-grade Aether Stones. Even though he only had a few hundred Aether Stones left after sending most of it back to his Sect, he truly thought he could find something in this store to buy.
However, these prices would even make him feel a pinch in the past.
But the effects kind of made it worth it. Along with having a miniature Aether Energy Gathering Formation on it that doubles the wearer’s cultivation speed, it also had the ability to boast Fire Attribute techniques by a level.
This was perfect for Woo-seong and even though his strength wouldn’t increase greatly, any minute increase at this stage in cultivation was massive for him, especially with the Two Continent Tournament coming up.
"Young Master, are you perhaps interested in these combat robes?"
The female attendant suddenly appeared beside Woo-seong and asked.
Woo-seong hesitated for a moment then asked softly.
"Can I open a tab here?"
The female attendant stiffened for a split second before she smiled, however, it didn’t really reach her eyes.
"I’m sorry, but our store doesn’t open tabs for our customers. Perhaps the other lower-grade stores outside offer that service."
After saying this, the female attendant didn’t hesitate to turn and walk back to wait for Mar-Yue and Sol to finish browsing the jade slip.
Seeing this, Woo-seong’s cheeks turned slightly red, but he was a bit upset at being so blatantly dismissed. He couldn’t help but curse the female attendant inwardly for being so money-hungry.
