Mo Han hurriedly waved his hands, saying, "This treasure is too valuable; I absolutely dare not accept it, Elder. Please keep it safe yourself. I thank you sincerely first, young man."

Guang Huo spoke with displeasure, "What's wrong? Are you looking down on me? Once this old man gives something away, is there any reason to take it back?"

Hearing Guang Huo’s words, Mo Han couldn't help but give a wry, internal smile. Even the way this Elder bestowed gifts was so overbearing. Since he insisted, he might as well take it; perhaps it would be useful later.

Thus, he replied respectfully with his mouth, "Then Mo Han thanks you, Senior," as he took the jade token.

Guang Huo laughed happily, "Hah! Now that’s a man! Fussing over things like those women—how can that be?"

Mo Han quickly nodded, "Yes, yes, Senior's teaching is sound. Mo Han has taken it to heart."

But as soon as he finished speaking, he felt several burning gazes fixed upon his back. He couldn't help but inwardly groan. Damn it, how could I forget the female companions standing behind me? Guang Huo has completely ruined me now.

He only heard Guang Huo speak again, "Also, stop calling me Senior from now on. I am still very young; it makes me sound ancient. Call me Big Brother."

Mo Han was momentarily stunned upon hearing this. This Elder could be considered young? He could be his grandfather, yet Mo Han himself was someone unconcerned with trivialities. Hearing Guang Huo’s request, he quickly responded, "Then Mo Han sincerely thanks Big Brother for his consideration. Big Brother is clearly vigorous and in his prime; how could he be old? You only look slightly older than me; it was Mo Han’s oversight."

Mo Han lied without batting an eye.

Guang Huo said happily, "That’s right! You have good judgment, boy, hah!"

The sight made Dali and the others behind them get goosebumps that dropped all over the floor. This old man and this youth truly were a perfect match; both had thick skins thicker than city walls.

Guang Huo then said, "Right, take this and find Shui Ling'er, tell her to accept you as a disciple, say it was my instruction, and that girl will absolutely not refuse."

Mo Han had initially intended to refuse, but upon hearing Guang Huo’s words and recalling the scene of his first meeting with Shui Ling'er, he felt a curiosity toward the young Saintess and nodded his agreement.

Guang Huo said to Mo Han, Dali, and the others, "Alright, this old man is truly leaving now. Take good care of yourselves."

Saying that, without waiting for a reply, he manifested his Dou Qi and vanished without a trace in an instant.

Mo Han murmured, "What an explosive personality."

Just then, Anna spoke up, "Brother Mo Han, what did you just say about us women?" Damn, this girl really knows how to bring up the one thing that should be avoided.

Mo Han quickly replied, "Did I? No, I didn't."

Dali spoke calmly, "I heard it too, you know."

Anna chimed in, "I heard you say, 'How can that be...'"

Mo Han felt cold sweat run down his forehead.

He stammered, "Uh, you must have misheard. I was saying, 'Where is it, where is it?' You misunderstood! Oh, right, Dali, here are 140,000 gold coins; please keep them safe."

Mo Han handed the crystal card in his hand to Dali while thinking, It’s better to change the subject quickly.

Dali smiled and said, "But this is compensation for your emotional distress; how could I dare accept it?"

Haha, everyone smiled at these words.

Mo Han quickly put on a serious expression and said, "That’s true. It seems our relationship isn't intimate enough yet. We should become closer. How about you marry me?"

Dali’s face flushed crimson as she scolded him, "You just love talking nonsense when everyone is around!"

Mo Han said nonchalantly, "What's there to fear? In any case, Mo Han will only marry you. Or, if you marry me, I wouldn't mind either."

Dali felt incredibly pleased inside, but she verbally retorted, "Who would marry someone as thick-skinned as you?"

Mo Han laughed, "That’s good, that’s good. My cultivation is still insufficient; it needs more strengthening."

Haha, this caused another round of smiles among everyone, though only Anna seemed slightly unhappy, a detail missed by the others in their amusement.

Then Jack spoke up, "Boss, I truly admire you. You earned 140,000 gold coins just by opening your mouth! If this continues, you’ll undoubtedly be the wealthiest man on the continent."

Mo Han said proudly, "Of course! My goal is to be a rich man (I was too poor on Earth, hehe). You won't regret following me; we can eat fine meat and fish every day, and women..." Seeing Dali’s look, he quickly corrected himself, "Women must be cherished dearly; they cannot be treated casually."

This earned him a sharp glare from Dali, making Mo Han secretly breathe a sigh of relief—thank goodness I was quick-witted enough, hehe.

Anna asked, "Then are we still going shopping, Brother Mo Han?" Mo Han declared heartily, "Buy! Why wouldn't we buy? Anna, buy whatever you desire, what are you afraid of?" He truly looked like a nouveau riche, though he really was one, having accumulated hundreds of thousands of gold coins in just a few days.

Mo Han took out the card again and said to Dali, "Dali, swipe it freely, don't hold back. We have nothing left now; we're so poor we only have money left," causing Dali and the others to roll their eyes.

The men behind them groaned softly, "Boss, we've bought so much already, and we’re still buying?" Mo Han replied, "Do you think I enjoy shopping? I have no choice. If you don’t want to shop, you can explain that to Dali and the girls yourselves; I support you."

The group unanimously shook their heads. No way—they weren't foolish enough to fall for Mo Han’s trick.

After fighting hard for half the day, the women finally returned to the inn, utterly satisfied. By this time, Mo Han and the men were draped in items from their hands to their necks, looking as disheveled as one could imagine.

Mo Han inwardly sighed, The power of women is truly boundless. This fact was proven once again. Who was the idiot who said working with women makes the task lighter? That was absolute nonsense; I’m nearly dead from exhaustion.

Back in the room, Mo Han tried to stuff the items he was holding into his Spatial Ring, but he was dismayed to find that the ring had run out of space. Thinking quickly, Mo Han called everyone into the room.

When everyone was gathered, they looked at Mo Han curiously, wondering what new trick he had up his sleeve. Mo Han announced, "I have a surprise for you all. Don't get too excited, okay?"

Anna asked curiously, "What surprise, Brother Mo Han?" Mo Han then held out both hands, revealing rings laden on every finger, and said smugly, "Look what I have? Impressive, right?" Yan Shi scratched his head and said to Mo Han, "Boss, a few rings are a surprise? What's so impressive about that? You really are a nouveau riche."

Mo Han almost fell over hearing that.

He shook his head, "Look closely."

Dali peered intently and exclaimed excitedly, "Mo Han, these aren't all Spatial Rings, are they?"

Hearing Dali’s words, Mo Han praised happily, "Dali is the cleverest one."

Everyone was astonished. Jack shouted, "Boss, you’re too rich! You’re buying Spatial Rings wholesale!"

Mo Han laughed, "Of course! Since you call me Boss, I can’t let you suffer. Here, take one each and put them away."

Latin spoke up, "Boss, such valuable items, how can we accept them?"

Yan Shi and Jack nodded in agreement.

Mo Han scolded them, "Valuable my foot! No matter how valuable something is, it’s not as important as you are, understand? Are you looking down on me as your Boss?" Latin and the others quickly shook their heads, "No, Boss, that's not what we meant."

Mo Han commanded, "If that’s not what you mean, then take them quickly."

Hearing Mo Han’s words, Latin and the others were deeply moved. Their eyes reddened as they accepted the rings, only managing to call out, "Boss..." before falling silent, their faces full of emotion as they gazed at Mo Han. To have a Boss like this made it worth dying for.
