Chapter 625: Arrival in the Northwest

"Back when I was in the mortal world, I encountered so many people, and I had the identity of a commoner to boot. Being insignificant and having a light voice meant I always had to learn how to speak."

"Is that so?" Chen Nuo remained unmoved.

Tian Peng had said this to elicit some pity from Chen Nuo, hoping Chen Nuo would feel some compassion for him, but he hadn't expected such a response.

"It's true, Shopkeeper, you have no idea how tough life in the mortal world was for me. I couldn't get enough food, nor could I wear nice clothes. Those officials, upon seeing me, felt compelled to buy me clothes simply because mine were so shabby," Tian Peng said in a voice full of grievance.

"Is that so, but you don't seem to be in a state where you can't wear nice clothes. So, do you not want to buy them, or can't you afford them?" Chen Nuo asked back.

Actually, Tian Peng couldn't dress well because he couldn't be bothered to buy clothes; if he wanted to, he could afford them.
