The streets are lined with all sorts of items, truly a dazzling array.

Zhou Hanyu, Cai'Er, and even the somewhat drowsy Ruyi were all incredibly excited, continuously eyeing these bizarre and fascinating objects along the way.

"Hey, beautiful, why not take a look? This is the inkstone used by Zhu Yingtai and Liang Shanbo in ancient times, a truly remarkable antique!"

A man, noticing Zhou Hanyu picking and choosing in front of his stall, quickly came over and said mysteriously.

Hearing the man's words, Zhou Hanyu squatted down to pick up the inkstone and took a closer look.

The inkstone looked quite antique in style from the outside, but its specific era was unclear.

However, she was well aware that it wouldn't be the Liang Shanbo and Zhu Yingtai stuff the man was claiming.

"Beautiful, this thing is really quite good, want to buy one and take it home to play with?"

The man said with a smile.

"How much?"

Zhou Hanyu asked.

"Not expensive! If you want it, ten thousand will do."

The man said cheerfully.

"Oh my! That's not expensive?!"

Zhou Hanyu exclaimed with surprise.

"You have to see who used it! Ten thousand is really a fair price. Only for you, anyone else, and they'd have to add at least two more blades."

The man said.

"Forget it, ten thousand is too much."

With that, Zhou Hanyu stood up to leave.

The man, seeing this, hurriedly said:

"Then give me a price. I can see you really like it, so I'll give you a little discount. Just enough for me to get by during the New Year."

"Thirty."

Zhou Hanyu said with a mischievous smile.

"Oh my! Girl, are you joking? Thirty? That's not even enough to buy an ordinary inkstone, let alone my antique inkstone. You know, this inkstone is…"

Just as the man was about to boast, Zhou Hanyu suddenly said:

"Fifty, take it or leave it."

"Uh… okay, you have a deal at fifty, it's yours."

The man, realizing Zhou Hanyu was really about to leave, hastily agreed.

After Zhou Hanyu paid, the inkstone fell into her hands.

Thus, after a brief exchange, both parties happily concluded this grand fifty-yuan transaction.

"That thing's cost is probably only a little over ten bucks. I reckon if you stuck to thirty, he would have sold it."

Yang Yan watched Zhou Hanyu holding the inkstone, teasingly said.

"Yeah! I know! But the cold weather makes it tough for him, so it's no big deal to give him an extra twenty yuan. We're not short of cash anyway, right!"

Zhou Hanyu smiled, easily dismissing Yang Yan's teasing.

"Probably mainly because that inkstone looks nice, and you're worried he wouldn't sell it to you. If he asked for a hundred, you might have bought it too, right?"

Zhou Hanyun chimed in unexpectedly.

Having her thoughts exposed, Zhou Hanyu stuck out her tongue in embarrassment and didn't argue back.

"Take a good look, sometimes there are really good items on the stalls at Pan Garden. You just need a keen eye. But mostly, they are modern crafts, don't be a sucker!"

Yang Yan said with a laugh.

"We'll keep following along; you two go tell the young master they're already at Pan Garden."

While Yang Yan and the others strolled aimlessly around Pan Garden, someone nearby instructed his subordinates.

From the time Yang Yan and the others left the hotel, these guys had been trailing them.

"Let's go, up ahead is my friend's shop. If he gives you something, make sure to accept it!"

"That guy is pretty stingy, rarely gives anything away. But when he does, it's usually something really valuable."

Yang Yan said with a smile.

Soon, they arrived at a shop named Strange Tales.

The entrance of the shop hung seven wind chimes made of copper coins and gourds.

Yang Yan, seeing the shop's sparse appearance, chuckled:

"That guy hasn't changed at all!"

With that, Yang Yan was the first to step inside the shop.

Inside, there were three large counters, displaying various weapons, looking very much like an armory.

Daggers, spears, swords, and halberds, axes, hooks, and forks were all available in abundance.

There were also quite a few exotic weapons.

Around the shop, there were no ceramic vases or the like, only shields and weapons hung here and there.

Zhou Hanyu and Cai'Er curiously glanced at the weapons inside.

Seeing a pair of weapons called Double-Edged Sword, Zhou Hanyu couldn't help but frown and say:

"Do people love using weapons associated with famous historical figures as a gimmick? And these two weapons look so unprofessional, you can clearly see all the patterns and whatnot. Why not age them a bit before selling?"

Yang Yan suddenly burst into laughter:

"Don't underestimate that stuff, it's genuine."

Yang Yan said smiling,

"Really? No way?"

Hearing Yang Yan's words, not only Zhou Hanyu but even Zhou Hanyun leaned in to examine these two weapons closely.

"Can they really be this new?"

Zhou Hanyu asked suspiciously.

"The material for the Female and Male Double-Edged Sword is not ordinary, and that guy worked some effort to make it like this."

"Alright, you guys stay here and look, I'll go find him. Knowing his lazy nature, he's probably still asleep now!"

"But remember, don't touch anything here, just a touch, and it could be troublesome."

Yang Yan earnestly warned.

Evidently, his words were mainly directed at Zhou Hanyu.

"No way, sleeping soundly with an open store?"

Zhou Hanyu asked in disbelief.

"Can't help it, that's just how he is."

Saying this, Yang Yan headed towards the inner room of the shop.

Unlike outside, the inner room was very warm.

Compared to the chill outside, this place had a kind of comfort that made one not want to leave once inside.

Moving toward the inside, the carpet laid down was even thicker and warmer than the hotel's.

Near a large heater was a particularly large beanbag chair with someone lying on it.

Because the person was facing away from the door, it was impossible to see if they were man or woman.

"Hey! You, how come all these years you're still like this? An old friend's here, isn't it time to get up and say hi?"

Yang Yan walked over and directly pulled off the quilt covering the person.

"Oh my! Which little rascal dares to enter this old lady's boudoir?"

A woman with messy hair yelled grumpily.

"Uh… sorry, sorry."

Yang Yan hurriedly turned around.

At the moment, the woman was wearing only a very thin nightdress, revealing glimpses of her figure beneath.

The woman now realizing her state, her face suddenly changed abruptly.

If it were an ordinary girl, she'd probably scream and pull something over to cover up.

But the one in front of Yang Yan simply lifted her leg to kick at his head.

Smack!

Yang Yan, alert to the wind, caught her foot, and said with a laugh:

"Stop fooling around, it's me."

As he spoke, he was already turning his head.

However, at that moment, due to the angle, he caught another glimpse of something he shouldn't have seen, and was momentarily stunned.

Seeing this, the woman fiercely exerted force once more, caught off-guard, Yang Yan was instantly sent flying.
