"yes--"

"Not entirely."

Gingerbread was taken aback. Under the gaze of the young man's bright eyes, she felt a little guilty about what she said.

"Yingying eyebrows and eyes" is a common description of a woman.

Fen Jue was simply too beautiful, especially after losing his memory, his aggressive phoenix eyes gained a touch of innocent naivety, and this adjective was not at all out of place when applied to him.

"that......"

"It's boring up in the mountains, let your senior sister take you down to play!"

God knows.

What will a person say and what decisions will they make when they are extremely guilty?

Gingerbread, who rode a Firewing Dog flying down the mountain, knew this all too well.

The boy sat behind her.

To project an ethereal and otherworldly aura, cultivators wear thin robes, and with the slightest movement, one can feel the thin yet well-proportioned muscle lines on her back.

Gingerbread's heart suddenly started racing.

Repeat the Heart-Cleansing Mantra in your heart.

Once, twice, three times.

My wildly beating heart was finally calmed down by the calming mantra.

Behind her, Fen Jue's voice was clear and languid, "Senior Sister, where do we go to play?"

It's infuriating that the heartbeat she had just managed to suppress started pounding again inexplicably.

If I jump down again, will that guy notice me?

"Hmm?" The boy's voice trailed off with a hint of doubt. "Senior sister, did you hear that?"

Gingerbread forced a smile. "What did you hear?"

Fen Jue said in a serious tone: "The sound of drumming."

Gingerbread: "......"

Thank you for describing it so vividly.

It was mid-morning.

The sun has not yet shown its full power.

A refreshing breeze brushed against his cheeks, gradually calming Gingerbread's restless heart.

They said they were taking Fenjue down the mountain for a visit.

She hadn't decided what to play yet.

The most well-known restaurants in Peach Blossom Town are Wanbaolou and Wanbaolou.

Gingerbread first took Fenjue to a restaurant, where they ate and drank to their hearts' content. After leaving the restaurant, they went straight to Wanbaolou.

Wanbaolou sells everything: rare and precious materials, magical robes and jewelry, spirit beasts and magical artifacts.

She glanced at the dark red and black runes on Fen Jue's headband, which clashed terribly with the blue and white sect attire of the Sword Sect.

Once inside Wanbaolou, I knew the place like the back of my hand.

Gingerbread led Burning to the jewelry and robes section on the second floor.

Walk to a rack with hairbands hanging on it.

At first glance, I was drawn to the white brocade headband. The end of the headband wasn't embroidered with the ubiquitous cloud pattern, but rather with mysterious talismanic characters, just like the headbands that Fen Jue already had.

"Boss, how much is the headband?"

She picked it up and examined it closely, unable to put it down.

"Three thousand mid-grade spirit stones." The Wanbaolou steward walked over with a smile. "Young lady, you have a good eye. This ribbon is engraved with legendary runes from the Heavenly Realm. No one has figured out its use yet, but who knows what the future holds!"

The Heavenly Realm?

Gingerbread remembers that when Fenjue introduced himself at the selection meeting, he said he came from the Lintian Realm.

Does this place really exist on the Eight Desolate Continent?

I haven't seen it in the library.

She calmly took out three thousand spirit stones.

"Yes, I bought it."

"Alright!" The steward packed up the hairband and handed it to Gingerbread. "Miss, we've received many new rare and precious herbs, talisman paper, and talisman pens. Is there anything else you need?"

"Take a look at the talisman paper and talisman pen."

Gingerbread went up to the third floor and bought a lot of talismans.

Ling Shi lent the money to Li Dapu to open a snail rice noodle shop, which has left her a little strapped for cash now.

Saving money is so hard!

As the two were about to leave, and passed the corner on the first floor, Fen Jue stopped moving.

"Xiao Jue?"

Fen Jue's lips tightened into a straight line as he pointed to the black beads in the corner of the counter.

"Senior sister, I want that one."

Gingerbread bent down, picked up the bead, and rubbed it in her hand. "What do you need this for?"

"It looks like an ordinary bead."

The boy frowned. "Senior sister, I want it."

Her voice carried a hint of coquettishness, and Jiangbingbing was completely mesmerized by Fenjue's sudden display of affection.

She slammed her small hand on the counter.

"Okay, okay, I'll buy it for you!"

"What else do you want, junior brother? I'll buy it all for you!"

Fen Jue's lips curled into a pleased smile. "That's all. I want this one."

She had to fulfill her junior brother's wishes.

Summon the steward of Wanbaolou. That damned Black Pearl actually wants ten thousand spirit stones?!

Are you trying to rip me off?

The butler smiled politely and sincerely, "No, the lord just instructed that this bead be arranged for tomorrow's auction, I didn't expect that the young lady would take a liking to it so quickly."

Fen Jue stood behind Jiang Bingbing, grabbed her sleeve and tugged at it, then whispered in her ear, "Senior Sister..."

Okay!

That "senior sister" made Gingerbread dizzy.

He took 10,000 spirit stones from his storage bag and handed them to the steward.

"Wrap up the broken bead for me."

"Okay!"

Out of Wanbao Tower.

Gingerbread stood at the door, frowning in deep thought.

One in and one out.

Why did she spend tens of thousands of spirit stones to buy a hairband and a useless bead?

He turned around and glared at Fen Jue, whose face was completely innocent.

I have to sigh.

A man who knows how to be charming and affectionate has the best life.

Gingerbread walked ahead, unaware that the bead had been burned away and hidden in his sleeve. The dark purple bead shimmered with starlight, and then a wisp of mist seeped into his body.

Fenjue felt the power flowing into his body from the bead and let out a comfortable breath.

He felt a gentle breeze as he passed by the beads; the power they contained felt familiar and reassuring.

The two strolled around Peach Blossom Town until evening.

Gingerbread went to the snail shop opened by Li Dapu.
