Chapter 951 - 25: Glazed Treasure Flame, Generous Dowry!

In Jiang Ning’s clean pupils at this moment, there seemed to be two burning flames of jade-colored red clouds.

The flames blossomed like blooming lotus flowers.

"How is it?" Wang Qintan asked with a smile on the corner of her mouth.

"The Glazed Treasure Flame is very useful to me!" Jiang Ning marveled.

As he spoke, the two blooming flames of jade-colored red clouds in his pupils slowly vanished into invisibility.

"Thank you!" Jiang Ning looked at Wang Qintan with a serious expression.

He personally experienced the effect of the Glazed Treasure Flame and knew that this was truly an invaluable treasure.

An invaluable treasure that even a thousand gold coins couldn’t exchange for.

After being baptized by the Glazed Treasure Flame in his body, he felt a sense of transparency and relaxation.

It was as if he had been carrying a heavy burden of a thousand catties, now suddenly relieved.

His whole body and muscles became relaxed, no longer as tense as before.

All the fatigue that had been imperceptibly accumulating over the days of practice was now completely eliminated.

More crucially, the energy of the Glazed Treasure Flame has not yet completely released.

Now it was like a lotus rooted in his body, continuously emitting energy, transforming his body.

This reminded him of what Wang Qintan had just said.

The Glazed Treasure Flame could forge a Glazed Treasure Body.

Though he had not heard of the Glazed Treasure Body, he knew it must be a special physique different from ordinary people.

In his understanding, it was akin to the difference between Innate Divine Strength and ordinary people.

"You should go take a bath now!" Wang Qintan waved her hand dismissively.

Jiang Ning looked down and saw that his body was covered with a thin layer of dirt.

It was like a layer of mud sticking to his body.

Snapping back to reality, he smelled the pungent odor emanating from this layer of dirt on his body.

Afterward.

He turned and left.

Watching Jiang Ning’s departing figure, she suddenly felt this feeling wasn’t bad.

...

In the bathhouse.

Jiang Ning scrubbed the dirt off his body three times, only then did he feel clean.

He then lay in the bathtub, soaking in water of a suitable temperature, feeling utterly refreshed.

"Young master, are you planning to marry Miss Wang as your wife?" Lv Yi, holding a bucket of hot water drawn from the pipes, poured it onto the edge of the tub.

Tingzhu Pavilion was a luxurious abode built by Chunfeng Lou, with hot water supplied twenty-four hours a day, delivered through bamboo pipes.

"I haven’t decided yet!" Jiang Ning shook his head.

"Why haven’t you decided, young master?" Lv Yi asked, and then added, "I think Miss Wang is great! She’s beautiful and treats you well!"

"Martial Arts is the priority!" Jiang Ning said.

"Young master, you are right!" Lv Yi smiled.

...

Soon after.

Jiang Ning returned to the courtyard.

At this moment, he had changed into loose clothing.

His hair was also combed nicely by Lv Yi.

"Not bad, as expected, a person of my liking!" Wang Qintan said, nodding with satisfaction at the freshly bathed Jiang Ning.

She felt that Jiang Ning now looked even better than before.

Seeing Wang Qintan’s sparkling eyes, Jiang Ning shook his head.

Wang Qintan’s direct and unrestrained personality left him somewhat helpless.

"By the way, you’ve become a Grandmaster now, haven’t you?" Wang Qintan asked.

"That’s right!" Jiang Ning nodded.

"Then you should be in dire need of money now! Stepping into the Third Grade and becoming a Grandmaster requires a lot of resources for each step forward, especially the blood exchange process which is a money sink." Wang Qintan said after a brief thought.

"That’s indeed the case!" Jiang Ning nodded in agreement.

If it weren’t for before, he would have already consumed the remaining resources.

Turned into Source Energy Points to improve his Skill.

But now it’s different.

The rare treasures he previously bought from Wanhua Building need to be reserved for the body’s recovery after blood exchange and can’t be used up.

But now the new life from the second blood exchange has not yet completed its transformation; even if his body can handle three blood exchanges, he still needs to wait for the metamorphosis to finish.

And those remaining resources, after the third blood exchange, would almost be used up for recovery.

Going forward, he would need to seek more money or other resources to support further blood exchanges beyond the third time.

Seeing Jiang Ning’s demeanor, Wang Qintan nodded.

"I knew it!"

Then.

She took out a stack of gold notes from her person and placed them in front of Jiang Ning.

"Here, these are for you, consider it a future dowry!"

"How much is this?" Jiang Ning asked, glancing at the thick stack of gold notes in Wang Qintan’s hand, his eye twitching slightly.

"Not much! Just five thousand taels of gold!" Wang Qintan said nonchalantly.

Jiang Ning: "..."

Not much!

Just five thousand taels of gold!

Hearing what Wang Qintan said, and seeing the stack of gold notes in her hand, Jiang Ning was at a loss for words.

He had robbed the Water Moon Sword Palace and negotiated a great price at the Wanhua Building summer auction.

And Xia Wanqin even rounded down slightly to reach five thousand taels.

But now Wang Qintan effortlessly pulled out five thousand taels.

"Just how much money do you have?" Jiang Ning couldn’t help but ask.

"What do you mean?" Wang Qintan clutched her purse tightly, "These are all my personal savings!"

Jiang Ning: "..."

Wang Qintan continued, "I am currently willing to set aside at most ten thousand taels of gold as a dowry. Now that you say you want to focus on Martial Arts first, I am not unreasonable. I’ll take out the five thousand taels of gold originally prepared as dowry to support you."

"Isn’t this enough to be a capable wife?"

Wang Qintan retorted.

"Are you serious?" Jiang Ning asked.

"Of course, I’m serious!" Wang Qintan nodded earnestly.

She then continued, "When I, Wang Qintan, make a decision, I won’t easily give up! My father appreciates you, and I feel you’re quite good!"

"Then I agree!"

"Since I agreed, of course, I mean it seriously!"

"You say you want to focus on Martial Arts, so I’ll support you!"

"I’ll take out half of the dowry to support you, and when you officially marry me later, I’ll give you the remaining half!"

Seeing Wang Qintan’s small, stern face at that moment,

Jiang Ning felt a sense of surrealism in his heart.

"Thank you very much!" Jiang Ning accepted the gold notes from Wang Qintan’s hands and said earnestly.

"Hehe!!" Wang Qintan grinned, "Spending money on you feels pretty fulfilling, makes me feel particularly awesome!"

"You are particularly awesome!" Jiang Ning praised.

Then, Jiang Ning said, "Let’s go! I’ll take you to have a meal!"

"Sure!" Wang Qintan nodded repeatedly, "I’ll go tidy up, so I can give you face."

Watching Wang Qintan’s swiftly retreating back into the house, Jiang Ning couldn’t help but smile, a touch of tenderness in his smile.

Sometimes life is just so sudden.

Yesterday, he hadn’t imagined things would turn out like this today.

He looked down again at the thick stack of gold notes in his hand.

"This feeling!"

"Really not bad!!"

"No wonder so many want to be kept!!"

A small arc appeared on the corner of his mouth.

Moments later.

Wang Qintan reappeared in front of him.

She had changed into a plain long skirt.

Seeing this plain long skirt on Wang Qintan, Jiang Ning was stunned.

Seamless Heavenly Clothes??

"What’s wrong?" Wang Qintan asked curiously, noticing his slightly dazed expression.

"This dress on you seems to have moonlight flowing over it, the material looks somewhat extraordinary!!" Jiang Ning remarked.

Wang Qintan slightly raised her chin.

"Of course, it’s extraordinary!"

"Where did it come from?" Jiang Ning asked.

"I’ll tell you next time!" Wang Qintan said.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning nodded slightly.

A guess naturally arose in his heart.

The last time he saw Wang Qintan, she clearly didn’t have much wealth.

Now in comparison, she easily produced gold notes worth five thousand taels to give him.

Having gold notes worth five thousand taels of gold means Wang Qintan has stored five thousand taels of gold in the bank.

And currently, Wang Qintan certainly possesses more than just these five thousand taels.

She has at least another five thousand taels of gold notes on her.

After all, she just repeatedly mentioned ten thousand taels as the dowry.

And the Glazed Treasure Flame she used on him earlier, an invaluable treasure that’s hard to exchange even for ten thousand gold coins,

Was also mentioned as part of her dowry.

Thinking about this, he couldn’t help but feel emotional.

The word dowry hasn’t been heard in his past world’s geographic location for a long time.

He did hear a lot about three blankets though.

As the thought passed in his mind, he looked at Wang Qintan, and a feeling stirred within him.
