My Crown Prince Consort Is a Firecracker! - Chapter 78

Chapter 78: Cozying up to Someone Powerful

“Mother, I will take a look and then return.” Qiao Mu joyously rushed past Wei Ziqin.

Wei Ziqin turned around, a smile on her face. How long has it been since she saw her daughter this happy? Only now did she resemble an energetic child.

As soon as Qiao Mu bounded out of her home, she saw 10-20 carriages stopped outside and a lot of workers unloading boxes one by one from the carriage, temporarily piling them up next to the entrance.

One of the youths in tight-fitting black clothes received Qiao Mu and respectfully bowed. “Little Lord, should we move all the boxes in?”

“Yes. Move it to beside the woodshed.” Qiao Mu glanced at the youth and waved her hand.

The villagers were attracted by the large commotion at Qiao Mu’s home, and they were circled around the carriages, admiring the snugly shut boxes.

“Qiaoqiao, did you spend all the gold from the Heavenly Dao Sect after buying this much?” Their neighbor, a middle-aged woman, looked at the items in front of Qiao Mu’s home with curiosity on her face. Moving this many boxes in, wouldn’t it fill that tiny amount of space in the courtyard to the brim?

Qiao Mu nodded and pulled Qiao Hu outside to help to direct the boxes’ transportation. As for her, she followed the youth in black through her home’s door and had them move all of the boxes to the space next to the woodshed.

The number of boxes somewhat exceeded Qiao Mu’s estimation, so she blinked, looking toward the youth in black with confusion in her eyes.

“There are 3000 iron arrows in here, each of them is forged from fine-quality iron. There are 30 boxes and each box contains 100 arrows.” The youth in black opened one of the boxes next to Qiao Mu and showed her the sparkling jet-black iron arrows in the box.

Then, he took a small silver box plated with gold and handed it to Qiao Mu. “Little Lord, store this safely. There are 10 crow-gold arrows in here. After you claim an arrow with a drop of blood, you can summon it back every time after you shoot it. This item is hard to come by, so you must safe-keep it well.”

Qiao Mu’s eyes twinkled as she looked at the youth. “What?” The 900 taels of gold that she gave were not enough to buy a fraction of a crow-gold arrow, let alone one whole arrow.

Regardless of how ignorant and inexperienced she was, she would have still heard of crow gold. This was a superior-grade material that was specifically used for forging mystic weapons and was very spiritual. An entire magnetite mine mountain might not produce even one tiny nugget of crow gold.

This was a material that had a price but no supply. Yet, that rich crown prince could produce 10 crow-gold arrows in a whoosh! Why did she feel like she had cozied up to someone powerful?

The youth in black smiled. “Little Lord, don’t worry, these don’t cost any money.”

Qiao Mu pettishly rolled her eyes, inwardly stating, “If you dare to ask for money, I will immediately kick you into the distance!”

The youth in black suddenly felt like his comprehension skills were very fine-tuned. He could actually glean a trace of viciousness from the little girl’s eyes. Heh. He hastily closed the box and carried another box to hand to Miss Qiao Mu. “This is a crow repeating crossbow, it is a level 12 mystic weapon forged from crow gold. His Highness said that like the ferule he gifted to Little Lord, he had suppressed its level to around level three, so Little Lord can use it immediately.”

Qiao Mu turned over the 30 normal repeating crossbows and put it away safely with the crow repeating crossbow. Then, she turned around to look at the boxes of clothes being carried inside.

According to what they agreed upon, a certain crown prince had helped her purchase 20 years worth of clothing.

Qiao Mu rubbed her nose. Cough, cough. Twenty years seemed to be a bit of a stretch. She really did have the intention of making things difficult for him back then.
