When Xiao Lizhu saw the baby in Shen Yizhi's arms, her eyes lit up and she walked over, "Sister, can I touch it?"

Shen Yizhi said generously: "Sure."

Her first impression of the girl was quite good.

After playing with GunGun for a while, Xiao Lizhu reluctantly withdrew her hand and thanked her politely: "Thank you, sister."

At this time, the shop owner came out and came to Shen Yizhi with the help of the clerk: "Madam, if you want to buy all the pets in our shop, the price is 38,900 taels. I will give you 38,000 taels. In addition, we will give you a precious pet egg."

The waiter behind the owner brought over a basket covered with straw and soft cotton cloth, with an egg as big as a basketball lying inside.

The egg is completely white, and apart from being large, there is nothing special about it.

Moreover, Shen Yizhi also sensed that the egg had very weak vitality. Not to mention hatching, it would probably die soon.

This shop owner is really a profiteer. He gave her a dying egg.

However, the shop owner did not know that his true identity had been seen through, and he emphasized to Shen Yizhi how precious and rare this egg was.

"I brought this egg out of the Angry Snow Sea myself. Its mother is an ice blue bird with the blood of a phoenix. It is beautiful and powerful. When its wings are spread out, they are two or three feet long (6-9 meters). It can also control ice and snow to fight. That time, I and the people I brought with me almost didn't make it out of the Angry Snow Sea."

Shen Yizhi glanced at the shop owner with a half-smile: "Since it is so precious, why are you willing to give it to me?"

The shop owner paused and said with a bitter face, "This ice blue bird egg is precious, but to be honest with you, Madam, I have brought it back for more than half a year, but I still don't see any signs of it hatching. As the person who brought it out, I hope it can hatch successfully and come out to see the world. I give it to you, Madam, with hope."

He looked at Shen Yizhi calmly, and his tone was more sincere than before.

However, Shen Yizhi still saw through his nature as a profiteer, but he was just afraid that the egg would fall into his hands. So considering that she bought so many pets at one time, he simply gave it away before it was completely scrapped. If it could hatch, everyone would be happy, and if not, he would not suffer any loss.

Shen Yizhi stroked the eggshell, and suddenly a slight vibration came from inside. She felt something in her heart and input a stream of spiritual energy into it.

The spiritual energy sank into the eggshell, and the fluctuations of life inside became stronger, revealing a bit of eagerness and desire, as if saying: More.

She put the egg back into the space and said, "I accept the egg. Thank you for the gift, owner."

I don't know where she hid such a big egg. The owner glanced at her and suddenly felt a cold gaze falling on her. It came from the young man next to her who had not spoken but gave people an inexplicable sense of oppression.

The shop owner tactfully looked away and asked with a smile, "With so many pets, where is your wife staying? I can have one of our staff take them there for you."

Gu Xueting paid the money and said, "Send it to Gu's house in Qingtong Lane, Chunxi Street."

The people living in Chunxi Street are either the powerful or the wealthy, and they are not simple people. The fact that this young man can build a mansion there shows that he has a noble status.

The shop owner's face became more attentive when he heard this: "Okay, we will definitely deliver these pets to your house safely. Take care, both of you."

When Shen Yizhi left, he nodded to Xiao Lizhu and left the shop with Gu Xueting.

Xiao Lizhu withdrew her curious gaze.

The maid behind her stepped forward and reminded her quietly: "Miss, you have been out for quite some time today. It's time to go back and take your medicine."

Xiao Lizhu sighed softly, "Okay."

On the street, Shen Yizhi held Gu Xueting's arm and asked, "Do you have a villa here too?"

Gu Xueting nodded. During the previous eight years of guarding the border, he did not stay in the barracks all the time. He would come out for a walk during his rest time. It happened that Xiao Xiong's home was in Baimiao City, so he also bought a yard here so that he could stay for a few days during his rest time.

"I'll take you there later."

"Okay. It's almost noon. Let's stop shopping and go to Zhenshanju."

"good."

Zhenshanju is the branch of Youming Pavilion in Baimiao City. The reason why it has a different name from the Langcheng branch Manfuju is probably because they are afraid that if one branch is exposed, it will affect the other branches.

I don't know what the people in the Netherworld Pavilion think, they actually treat the restaurant as a branch. Could it be that the people in the Netherworld Pavilion are actually a bunch of foodies? With the Netherworld Pavilion as a backer, the facade of Zhenshanju is so magnificent, and the interior is even more exquisite, showing its style everywhere. Most people probably don't have the confidence to set foot in it.

After Shen Yizhi and the other two came in, a handsome waiter immediately came forward to greet them: "Please come in, do you want to eat in the lobby or in a private room?"

Gu Xueting showed a jade talisman and said, "Take us to the backyard."

The waiter immediately understood that the two men were here to discuss "business" and led them through a winding corridor, past a lush green garden, and into a courtyard.

The maid brought tea and snacks, then stood quietly aside.

Shen Yizi saw a red plum tree in full bloom in the yard and walked over to admire it.

The white snow covers the red plum blossoms, and the coolness of the snow and the subtle fragrance of the plum blossoms mix together, making people feel happy.

"Sorry to have kept you waiting." A graceful and elegant woman walked in and bowed to Shen Yizi and the other man.

This woman is Mei You, one of the four You Envoys in charge of the Zhenshanju branch. Her name suits her, and she looks like a red plum blossom in the snow, cold and gorgeous.

"You can just call me Madam Mei. I wonder which of you two is the client?"

Mei You knelt down in front of the desk and poured herself a cup of tea with an elegant posture.

Across from him, Gu Xueting took out something and placed it on the table.

That thing was exactly the broken arrow that was taken out of his body.

Mei You's pupils shrank when she saw it.

Just last night she received news from her subordinates that Gu Xueting was dead. Now the man in front of her took out the arrow that their Netherworld Pavilion used to assassinate Gu Xueting. Who is he?

As if they had heard her thoughts, Gu Xueting and Shen Yizhi on the opposite side took off the disguise tools on their faces.

The true faces of the two were revealed in front of Mei You.

Gu Xueting is not dead! And he came to my house!
