Nine Nether Dragon Emperor-Chapter 192: This Family, Just So Plain and Simple!

Both of them stared enviously at the so-called mobile apartment.

Chu Tian took in their reactions, feeling incredibly pleased with himself. Qian Fanfan’s reaction, in particular, filled his heart with sweetness. After finding out about her background, there are so many things I don’t dare show off! The reason is simple—I’m afraid of embarrassing myself! This feeling was especially strong after seeing Qian Duoduo’s recent behavior. That little fatty popped Elixirs like they were candy—it was so outrageously lavish, so extravagant!

Thinking of the little fatty, Chu Tian glanced over and saw that his attention was once again focused on his Elixirs. His mobile apartment held almost no appeal for the boy. However, Chu Tian wasn’t the least bit flustered.

At that moment, a recovered Qian Manman asked directly, "How much for this thing, and where can I buy it? Are there any bigger ones available?" His family had nothing if not money. If he could buy something like this, it would be incredibly cool. When his friends saw it, their eyes would practically pop out of their heads. The more he thought about it, the more pleased he felt.

Little did he know, Chu Tian shook his head. "As far as I know, it isn’t sold here yet. I hear it’s considered a rare item even in the Heavens Beyond."

"Stop bluffing! If it were so rare, how could you have one? You’re just saying that to hold out for a better price! No matter. This young master has plenty of money. Name your price. I’m buying your mobile apartment!" Qian Manman made no effort to hide his nouveau riche attitude. He was rich, and he could be willful.

This time, Qian Fanfan didn’t stop him. Instead, she fixed her gaze on Chu Tian and added, "If Young Master Chu is willing to part with it, I will be sure to remember this favor."

Chu Tian’s expression froze, and a wave of regret washed over him. He wanted to give the mobile apartment away, but when it came time to agree, the words caught in his throat. This thing was a treasure; in the entire Cloud Summit Heavenly Palace, it was likely that only he and Ning Xuan possessed one.

Wait, I’ve got it! Thinking of Ning Xuan, an idea immediately struck him.

"Miss Qian, if this mobile apartment were for you, I wouldn’t even mention money—I’d give it to you for free. But what you don’t know is that it has already bonded with me, so it can’t be transferred." Seeing the disappointment on Qian Fanfan’s face, Chu Tian quickly continued, "However, I know another person who also has a mobile apartment, and he probably hasn’t bonded with his yet. You could ask him."

Qian Fanfan’s beautiful eyes immediately lit up. "Who?!" she asked eagerly.

"Ning Xuan!" Chu Tian said, apologizing to him in his heart. Brother Ning, sorry about this. You tricked me once, so I’m returning the favor. That’s not too over the top, is it?

"What? My big brother?" Qian Duoduo, who had been shoving a handful of Elixirs into his mouth, let his jaw drop. The pills clattered to the ground as they spilled from his hand.

Chu Tian watched, his heart aching at the sight. And yet, the Qian family members didn’t even bat an eye. Damn it! So damn wasteful! Chu Tian was filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment.

Qian Fanfan turned her head to look at Qian Yourong, and Qian Manman did the same. They had heard whispers about what happened with the Jun Family. Although they didn’t know the full details, they knew it had something significant to do with Ning Xuan.

Chu Tian, oblivious to the inside story, simply saw their surprised expressions and nodded. "That’s right, he has one too. The area is probably about the same as mine, maybe just a tad bigger at most..."

Seeing them all looking at him, Chu Tian felt he had to leave himself enough of an out to avoid having his words thrown back in his face later. He was absolutely sure he was being cautious enough.

However, a voice suddenly rang out. "Fatty, what are you doing here?"

The group turned in unison and were immediately left dumbfounded. Chu Tian was completely floored.

Holy hell! Is *that* a mobile apartment? It’s so... so huge!

Noticing out of the corner of his eye that everyone else was still stunned, a red-faced Chu Tian silently retracted his mobile apartment. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

Damn it! Compared to Ning Xuan’s, mine is just a dog kennel! This is so embarrassing!

At that moment, Chu Tian just wanted to find a hole to crawl into and hide.

From a distance, Ning Xuan’s voice sounded again. "Sister Qian, you’re here too." Surprised, he nodded a greeting to Qian Fanfan and Qian Manman.

"You’re just now seeing me? I was starting to think someone couldn’t see this old woman," Qian Yourong said, giving Ning Xuan a look filled with mock resentment.

Qian Fanfan glanced at her aunt in surprise before smiling and greeting Ning Xuan. "Greetings, Young Master Ning. My name is Qian Fanfan."

This time, before Qian Fanfan could make any more introductions, Qian Manman eagerly stepped forward. "Young Master Ning, I’m Qian Manman! Duoduo is my cousin, and she is my paternal aunt—my real aunt!" As he finished speaking, he even gave Ning Xuan a suggestive wink.

This family’s naming sense is certainly... simple and unadorned! Ning Xuan mused. He then noticed Qian Manman’s wink and paused. What does that mean?

Qian Yourong, however, noticed her nephew’s little gesture and shot him a fierce glare.

Chu Tian noticed it too and felt a sharp sting of hurt. Damn it all! If I had known, I wouldn’t have kept such a low profile! Then I wouldn’t be treated so differently by this snob who judges people by their appearance! At the same time, he shot a resentful glare at Ning Xuan. You! You could have shown up at any time, but you had to appear right at this moment. You did this on purpose, didn’t you!

"Oh, Brother Chu, you’re here too?" Ning Xuan said with great surprise, having sensed the gaze.

"I am not! And I’m leaving right now!" Chu Tian had a bad feeling. I have a premonition that encountering this guy never leads to anything good!

As expected, his worst fears came true.

"Why are you still riding that rip-off? Oh, right, didn’t you also get a reward? Let me see what you got."

Upon hearing this, Chu Tian’s face turned green. What the hell! This guy just had to bring up the most sensitive subject!

"Well..." As Chu Tian stood there awkwardly, Qian Manman burst out laughing, showing no regard for his feelings and happily rubbing salt in the wound. "Brother Ning, you might not know, but his so-called mobile apartment is only... let’s see... right, was that a kennel? It’s only as big as the kennel in the corner of your front yard! And just a moment ago, he was bragging that yours was only a little bit bigger than his... Oh, I can’t take it, let me laugh for a bit!"

Qian Manman clutched his stomach, laughing so hard he could barely breathe. Qian Yourong and Qian Fanfan must have had professional training because they didn’t laugh, though it was clearly a struggle to hold it in. Only Qian Duoduo, blissfully oblivious, was staring at Ning Xuan’s mobile villa while frantically stuffing Elixirs into his mouth.

Ning Xuan was genuinely unaware of what Chu Tian had been doing. At first, he assumed Qian Manman was just exaggerating, but seeing Chu Tian’s expression, that didn’t seem to be the case. This made Ning Xuan admire Chu Tian’s composure; it was truly impressive. More importantly, it wasn’t an act—he genuinely wasn’t angry.

Ning Xuan’s interest in him was instantly piqued. With a temperament like that, his true strength was likely far beyond what most people would expect.
