"Hey hey hey!" The gray ball struggled to escape Qi Yu's clutches and said, "I didn't say you were bad. I like your personality very much."
He chuckled a few times, "So... I've almost finished reading all the storybooks you bought last time, it's time to get a new batch, isn't it?"
"So fast?" Qi Yu looked at the mountain of storybooks with some surprise and said, "Master, aren't you reading them a little too fast?"
Zhu Xiuzi said, "I haven't read them for so many years, there must be a lot of good stories waiting for me to read, so I adjusted the time flow and read them faster, so you can bring me back more."
Qi Yu: "..."
She suddenly had a bold idea.
"Master, can you control the flow of time in this space?"
"Yes. But it's only about ten times faster or slower than the outside world. I discovered this method when I was going crazy in here."
"I see..." Qi Yu's eyes sparkled, and she tempted him, "Master, I saw a lot of interesting storybooks at the market just now. Would you like some?"
Zhu Xiuzi looked at Qi Yu, whose attitude had suddenly changed drastically, with confusion, but she couldn't resist the temptation of the storybook and said, "Yes, yes, yes!"
"Then this disciple wants to cultivate in this space for a month or so. Master, could you slow down the time a bit so that this disciple can have more time to cultivate and have a better chance of winning the sect competition?"
She rubbed her hands together. "I promise I'll move the whole book stall over here for you, so you won't be bored during this time!"
Zhu Xiuzi hesitated for a moment, but still said, "That's a small matter. However, the time you spent in the space is not fake. Your body will change."
“You haven’t formed your core yet, so once you step out of this space, people might notice the change in your appearance.”
"It's alright, I don't care about these things." Qi Yu waved his hand. "Anyway, my appearance will be fixed once I reach the Golden Core stage. If all else fails, I can use a disguise pill. It's not a big problem."
Zhu Xiuzi was somewhat moved and said, "I never expected that you would take my words to heart so seriously, my disciple. In fact, even if you don't get the Undying Wood, I won't blame you."
Qi Yu raised an eyebrow slightly, "After all, Master, you are a Tribulation Transcending cultivator. I'm still waiting for you to protect me."
"Of course, of course! Let's see who dares to touch my disciple, Zhu Xiuzi!"
Qi Yu smiled and looked at Liu Xing, saying, "Liu Xing, what do you think? Would you like to become this big shot's apprentice?"
The gray ball of fluff also turned demurely toward the shooting star.
Meteor hesitated for a moment, then said, "If you don't mind, senior..."
"Hey! Who would dare to look down on you!" Zhu Xiuzi floated to Liuxing's side. "Only those who don't know their value would look down on you. Do I look like someone who doesn't know their value?"
Meteor looked at the gray ball of fluff and shook its head.
Qi Yu chuckled and poked him, saying, "What are you still standing there for? I'm telling you to call me Master."
Meteor then said somewhat shyly, "Greetings, Master!"
Zhu Xiuzi peeked out a cloud of gray mist with satisfaction and patted Meteor's head.
Perhaps because they were master and disciple in the original story, they got along quite well.
"Then I'll take him away today. Don't worry, Master, I'll bring the storybook you wanted in three days."
Qi Yu waved to the gray ball of dust and left the space within the book.
Meteor was still somewhat dazed. Qi Yu looked at him and sighed inwardly.
What a villain! She's spoiled him so much that he doesn't exude any domineering aura at all.
But this is for the best.
She doesn't like people who are consumed by hatred, no matter how domineering they may seem.
Qi Yuyu lowered her eyelashes and said softly, "Meteor, now that your master has accepted you as his disciple, would you like to stay in the sect by yourself for the time being, or cultivate with me under your master's guidance?"
After a moment's thought, Meteor quickly said, "Senior Sister, I also want to cultivate together."
His youthful face was full of determination, and the gloom he felt when we first met had gradually faded away.
Qi Yu smiled and said, "Then pack your things and come over in three days. I'll put in a good word for you with Venerable Canglang."
Meteor nodded obediently, got up and left.
Qi Yu closed the door, and the little white bird in his arms flew out, transforming into a handsome young man in black.
Feng Xiao strolled casually to the dilapidated wooden bed, looked up, and asked, "Xiao Yu, are you getting ready to rest?"
Qi Yu put on a fake smile, "The King of Scrolls doesn't deserve to rest."
Feng Xiao pondered the words "King of Rolls" with puzzlement, but Qi Yu had no intention of telling him what they meant.
She took out the alchemy furnace that Bai Shu had given her from her storage ring, along with a pile of alchemy herbs and materials. She took a deep breath and summoned the Phoenix Spirit Fire.
Initiating the insane alchemy mode!
Feng Xiao, who was waiting to share a bed with Qi Yu to cultivate their relationship: "..."
...
Three days later, as soon as Qi Yu opened the door, Yan Shi came to her and handed her something that looked like a coin box.
His pride was barely concealed as he began to describe the functions of the magical artifact at length.
"You said it appears randomly and selects people. This magical artifact usually hides its form, and then automatically searches for people with weaker auras at midnight and spits out what's inside."
"I added a Qiankun Stone inside, which can hold things that are about half the size of a room."
"In addition, you should keep a few spirit stones to replenish the energy of the magic weapon. Otherwise, without the support of spiritual power, the magic weapon will not be able to move or hide its aura."
Qi Yu picked it up and looked at it, nodded in satisfaction, and paid the spirit stone to Yan Shi.
"Then thank you very much, Senior Brother Yan."
Just as they were figuring out how to put the money in, the person who had been standing still beside them suddenly spoke up.
"Is Grandmaster Uncle making this to spend his wealth?" Yan Shi asked with his arms crossed. "I never imagined that Grandmaster Uncle was such a kind-hearted person."
Qi Yu paused, rolled her eyes, and said, "This is called accumulating merit."
Yan Shi laughed heartily, but seeing Qi Yu's face growing darker, he held back and said in a muffled voice, "Then this junior wishes Grandmaster Uncle boundless merit!"
After saying that, he turned and left, his shoulders shaking uncontrollably as he walked.
Qi Yu: "..."
Don't argue with fools!
That very night, Qi Yu took the magical artifact she had named the "Merit Box" and went to Moon City.
She had already put a thousand taels of silver into it. If what Yan Shi said was true, the donation box would spit out one tael of silver each time a candidate was selected, which would last for a long time without having to worry about the daily good deed task.
As dusk fell, the streets of Moon City were nearly deserted.
At midnight, Qi Yu poured spiritual power into the donation box, activating the spirit stones placed inside.
Suddenly, a faint light shone around the donation box, and it floated up.
It circled twice in place and then suddenly disappeared.
Qi Yu: "?"
Wait, how come this thing just disappeared without a word?!
