Seeing the expression of Ye Gui Feng with furrowed eyebrows and a frown Xiao Ju Hong tilts her head.

"Hm?"

"Ah."

Turning his head around Ye Gui Feng sees Xiao Ju Hong looking at him quizzically.

"Xieshen tell me another story."

Without so much as a greeting Xiao Ju Hong cuts to the chase.

"That's right!"

Ye Gui Feng suddenly smiles in excitement as he realized a way to make money quickly.

"Hm?"

"Come back here tomorrow. Someone will be here to tell you some good stories."

Having said that Ye Gui Feng quickly ran off and heads for his immortal cave.

Upon making it back to his cave Ye Gui Feng pulls out a long white robe from within his storage bag.

The second item that Ye Gui Feng pulls out is the strange white fox styled helmet that he had obtained from the Nine Dragons' Vault.

As for the last two items that Ye Gui Feng pulls out are a stylish folding fan with the character 海 (Hǎi Translation: Sea) on it and a plain white scroll.

"Heh this will work just fine."

The last thing that Ye Gui Feng does is by drawing on the scroll some images that will go along with what he will talk about tomorrow. His art skills from his fashion designer days had definitely come in handy here despite being slightly rusty.

The next day at the peak hours where mostly everyone has awakened Ye Gui Feng dressed in the long white set of robes and wearing the strange fox helmet walks through the areas of Mount Zhu Tian.

People gave him strange looks and some ridicule but beneath the helmet Ye Gui Feng truly wasn't in any position to complain. Even he himself had to admit that he looks a bit ridiculous and he has no clue if this will even work.

Upon making it back to the spot that he had met Xiao Ju Hong yesterday Ye Gui Feng raises his voice to speak.

"Come, come, today your Lǚ-yéye (旅爷爷 Translation: Grandfather Lu) here will tell you a tragic love story."

Unfolding his fan Ye Gui Feng raises his hands and begins to draw a crowd to himself.

"Hey are you here to entertain us by making us laugh our asses off from your strange get up or what?"

"Hahaha this person does look quite ridiculous doesn't he?"

"What kind of mask is that?"

Most of the people in the crowd readily makes fun of Ye Gui Feng's appearance while the minority standing within the group wait to see if they can witness something of amusement happen here today.

"Ahem. Fine, fine, make fun of your Lu-yeye here but at least wait for me to tell my story before you laugh. If you feel like this story has touched your heart, even just a little bit then do consider giving your Lu-yeye here some spirit stones."

This is Ye Gui Feng's plan. He will tell stories to the crowd in the hopes of earning some spirit stones that can be traded in for Dark Silver.

Maybe it was quite naïve of him to think of himself as someone capable of being a storyteller but Ye Gui Feng didn't know unless he tries.

"..."

Seeing Xiao Ju Hong in the crowd looking up at him Ye Gui Feng smiles beneath the fox helmet.
