Chapter 162 Phoenix Coronet and Bridal Gown

"Sir, this is 135 pieces of Blood Essence Stone, please count them to make sure they are correct."

The middle-aged shopkeeper, who looked a little wealthy, handed over two wooden boxes, which contained neatly arranged pieces of Blood Essence Stone.

Chen Mo had been practicing in seclusion before, and although he had refined the Blood Essence Stone and Mirage Spirit he had obtained, he still had many things to sell.

For things like gold and silver, house deeds and land deeds, his subordinates would help to deal with and integrate them.

And valuable things like weapons, magic tools or storage bags.

These things could not be used by himself, and his relatives and friends around him could not use them.

Chen Mo was not very confident to let others do it, so he could only go there himself.

"Not bad." Chen Mo scanned the true qi to confirm that the number was correct, and then put it into the storage bag.

He only had two storage bags left on him now, and the rest were all traded out and turned into practice resources.

After completing this transaction, he went to two more shops and sold all the things he didn't need.

After dealing with all the things, Chen Mo got a total of 3270 blood essence stones, and the two storage bags in his hands were suddenly much emptier.

Only one set of heavy armor, a set of blood spirit deerskin armor, a pair of giant hammers, a dragon spear, and a seven-absolute treasure bow were left.

More than ten talismans, several bottles of healing pills, including life-saving trump cards such as Qiankun Shifting Talisman and Earth-Oriented Golden Light Talisman, and Xuantian Fortune Pill, a powerful pill that can help warriors break through.

In addition, there are many sundries that are not valuable or temporarily ineffective, which he put in another storage bag.

In fact, it is not absolutely safe to put these things in the storage bag. Anyone can take them away, as long as they have internal energy, they can open them.

Chen Mo can only keep them close to his body to ensure their safety.

There is no way, the storage ring is precious and hard to find, even the King of Pingxi does not have one, so Chen Mo has no chance to get it.

I just don't know if there is one in the secret vault of the emperor. If there is, I can find a way to get one.

With all the blood essence stones obtained from the transaction, Chen Mo flew away from the market.

No matter which market, most of the people who live there for a long time are Qi cultivators or ordinary people.

Except for a small number of warriors who are hired as guards, most warriors have a wider world to go to, unlike Qi cultivators who can only be trapped in the cave paradise and cannot easily leave.

On the way back to the city, Chen Mo kept taking out one blood essence stone after another to refine and absorb.

Until all the blood essence stones are exhausted, he will add 20% of blood and qi to the Transformation Pearl. Adding the 20% of blood and qi accumulated before, he now has 40% of blood and qi power.

As long as the national mourning is over, he will be rewarded by the court, which should be enough for the next transformation.

All the way back to the capital, more than 20 days have passed since the King of Pingxi was beheaded, and the capital has now returned to its former bustling and prosperous state.

There were many merchants coming and going, and the traffic was endless. The people were shoulder to shoulder and the voices were noisy.

However, there were many more imperial guards near the city walls and gates than in the past.

The imperial border troops were stationed near the capital. Although the King of Pingxi was dead, the general of the central army still arranged many imperial guards to guard against these border troops.

Chen Mo followed the flow of people into the city. His steps seemed slow, but every time he took a step, he would be more than ten feet away.

This was when he deliberately controlled himself. If he burst out with all his strength, his speed would be much faster than now.

Chen Mo walked all the way to Anyefang and came to a tailor shop called Miaoyifang with a spacious and imposing front.

This shop was not far from his adoptive father's house in the outer city. When Chen Mo and Zhao Yu first came to the capital, they made a lot of clothes in this shop.

"This guest is here, please come in!" The shop assistant greeted Chen Mo when he saw him coming.

Compared with ordinary tailor shops, this shop is mainly for dignitaries, wealthy merchants and businessmen.

Not only is it spacious, but the decoration is also quite extraordinary, and there are also special independent rooms for receiving distinguished guests.

The materials used to make clothes are all kinds of fine cotton cloth or silk, and the cutting is also quite decent.

Of course, the price is also quite expensive. A piece of clothing costs at least 20 or 30 taels of silver, and ordinary people naturally can't afford it.

Chen Mo reached into his arms and took out a piece of cardboard. The paper was torn by hand, and it was written in what year and month he ordered a piece of goods in this tailor shop.

The cut pieces of paper may be the same, but the ones torn randomly will never be.

The paper Chen Mo took out corresponds to the paper left here, so after paying the other half of the balance, he can take away the previously ordered goods.

"Sir, please follow me!" Seeing this, the tailor shop clerk did not dare to be careless at all, and led Chen Mo to the back hall of the tailor shop.

Of course, he knew that all the customers who could come to this shop to order clothes were rich and noble, and it was far from being something that an apprentice like him could neglect.

He took Chen Mo to a separate room and sat him down, and someone brought him tea.

"Sir, all the goods you ordered are here. Do you think there are any problems?" The shop manager and another old tailor hurried over.

The two apprentices carried a large wooden box, opened it carefully, and showed the custom-made clothes inside to Chen Mo for inspection.

This is a complete set of wedding clothes with exquisite workmanship. As long as it is matched with a few pieces of jewelry, it can be called a phoenix crown and a bridal robe.

Chen Mo promised Zhao Yu that he would give him a phoenix crown and a bridal robe, and he has been doing this.

When he came to the capital, there were good materials and tailors with high enough skills to customize this wedding dress.

So he secretly ordered a set for Zhao Yu without telling her.

"Sir, do you think there is no problem?" The shop owner came over and asked with a smile.

Now that the period of national mourning is coming to an end, many people who have ordered wedding clothes in advance have come to pick them up one after another.

It is foreseeable that as soon as the national mourning is over, many people will get married in the capital.

"Not bad." Chen Mo nodded with satisfaction, took out some silver and paid the balance.

He put away the wooden box with a wave of his hand. Seeing this, the owner of the tailor shop became more respectful, knowing that Chen Mo must have an extraordinary status if he had such means.

Storage bags are indeed rare, but since there are many Houtian warriors in the capital, there are relatively many storage bags.

Even ordinary people like tailor shop owners have had the opportunity to see those warriors using storage bags.

He picked up the entire wedding dress and left, then walked to another jewelry shop called Zhenbao Building and picked up several pieces of gold and jade jewelry that matched the wedding dress.

When I returned home with these things, it was already the winter solstice, and the cold wind was getting stronger day by day.

However, Zhao Yu has achieved some success in practicing the Mingyu Changchun Gong. Although he has not yet developed his inner energy, he will not catch cold due to it.

She was wearing a fox fur coat and hiding in the warm winter sun. There was a small charcoal stove in front of her to make tea.

When she saw Chen Mo return home, she softly called her husband, smiled and waved to him.

"Here you go." Chen Mocai walked to her. Before he could sit down, Zhao Yu handed over a roasted orange.

"Try these oranges. They are very sweet. I heard they are a specialty of Western Sichuan."

Chen Mo took it with a smile, flicked it with his fingers, his energy vibrated, and all the orange peels were peeled off by him in an instant.

There were ripples of surprise in Zhao Yu's beautiful eyes, and she felt quite miraculous about this.

"It's really sweet." Chen Mo took a bite and nodded to comment.

Zhao Yu hurriedly handed over another orange and looked at Chen Mo expectantly.

He smiled slightly and peeled it off for her.

Zhao Yu grilled a lot of things on the stove. In addition to oranges, there were also red dates and peanuts. There were also a few sweet potatoes stewed under the charcoal stove.

The two cuddled each other, chatting about the secret words between husband and wife, drank a pot of black tea, and ate something casually.

It wasn't until the afternoon, when the warm winter sun gradually shifted, that the two returned to the house.

"Come with me, I have something to show you." Chen Mo took her hand and walked back to the bedroom.

Zhao Yu was looking forward to what her husband would give her.

Chen Mo smiled slightly, first took out a jewelry box and opened it. Inside were eight pieces of jewelry of different styles.

Bracelets, rings, necklaces, earrings, etc.

Each piece shimmers with golden light, has a unique and exquisite style, and is inlaid with gemstones, reflecting colorful light under the afternoon sun.

"Wow!" Zhao Yu couldn't help but exclaim, her beautiful eyes filled with brilliance.

She is not someone who loves vanity and likes to compare.

But everyone has a love for beauty. As a woman, how could she not like beautiful jewelry when she saw it, not to mention that Chen Mo gave these jewelry to herself.

The person giving the gift is more important than the gift itself.

Upon seeing this, Chen Mo took out a mahogany box with the word "happy" engraved on it. When he opened the wooden box, he saw a set of festive red wedding dresses.

"I said I would give you a crown and a crown of flowers, and I never lie to anyone."

Chen Mo took her into his arms and whispered in her ear.

"Yeah." Zhao Yu responded, tears welling up in his eyes.

She was so moved and joyful that she couldn't help but hug Chen Mo tightly. She always knew that she had never chosen the wrong person.

At this moment, an indescribable feeling filled her body and mind. She wanted to prolong this moment, preferably never to come to an end.

The so-called happiness, if you think about it, is probably like this.

"Okay, come on, show me what you're wearing. I've never seen you in a wedding dress."

Chen Mo held her tenderly for a while, then took out a handkerchief from her arms and wiped away her tears.

"Okay!" Zhao Yu nodded vigorously. She wanted to please her own appearance. Of course, she also wanted Chen Mo to see her in her wedding dress.

Although the two of them are husband and wife, they have never held a real wedding after all. This is the first time for Zhao Yu to actually wear wedding clothes.

"Don't look!" Zhao Yu said with embarrassment when Chen Mo kept staring at him.

"Okay, okay, I won't watch." Chen Mo sounded helpless and turned around with a smile.

The wedding dress is not easy to wear. Fortunately, this dress was customized at a familiar tailor shop, so you don’t have to worry about the size.

Chen Mo could only hear an imaginative rustling sound coming from behind him. He didn't know how long it had passed before Zhao Yu said with some shyness and embarrassment, "Okay, turn around!"

Chen Mo turned around hurriedly and saw Zhao Yu wearing a red wedding dress, which made her already plump and slim figure even more beautiful.

He was wearing a lot of jewelry, which glowed dazzlingly under the sunlight, especially the pair of golden steps, which collided with each other and made some noise when walking.

Zhao Yu also put on a layer of light makeup, which made her face as clear and beautiful as a hibiscus emerging from water.

She was not extremely beautiful, but at this time, with the blessing of the phoenix crown and harem, Chen Mo felt that there was no woman more beautiful than her in the world.

"Does it look good?" Zhao Yu saw Chen Mo staring straight at him. Although he was happy in his heart, he couldn't help but blush, and asked a little shyly.

"It's beautiful, it's really beautiful!" Chen Mo did not suppress his excitement and took two steps forward.

Zhao Yu was like a frightened little rabbit, slightly shrinking back, but he just wanted to refuse and return the greeting.
