The next day, before dawn, Ye Xianya took Zhengzheng to cultivate under the Zhuguo tree.
The two, one human and one spirit beast, first absorbed the purple energy, then the spiritual energy, focusing all their attention on cultivation. It wasn't until nearly noon that Ye Xianya decided to go back.
"Zhengzheng, what do you want for lunch?" Ye Xianya rubbed the little one's head and asked with a smile.
"Roasted lamb chops!" Zhengzheng said with a grin. "It would be even better if we could have a couple more jugs of wine."
"Alright!" Ye Xianya nodded: "Anyway, Qi Chengshuo sent people to sell your gold and silver jewelry last time and gave us a lot of silver, which is probably enough to last us for several years. You can eat whatever you want."
"Sister, then I'll choose the Hundred Beast Pill!" Zhengzheng immediately changed her mind and snuggled into Ye Xianya's arms.
Everything else can be bought with money, but only my sister knows how to refine the Hundred Beast Pill.
"Where's the Hundred Beast Pill I made for you a couple of days ago?" Ye Xianya asked, lifting her up.
"I've already finished eating!" Zhengzheng said cautiously.
"You spendthrift! You've gone through two batches of Hundred Beast Pills in just a day or two! Do you really think I have nothing better to do than refine pills for you every day?" Ye Xianya was furious.
They don't lack money, but they lack time. It takes her about two hours to refine a batch of Hundred Beast Pills for Zhengzheng, and that's considered fast.
This little guy is living too extravagantly!
"From now on, you're only allowed one a day!" Ye Xianya coughed lightly under Zhengzheng's pitiful gaze, "Two at most."
"Okay, I remember, I will definitely listen to my sister from now on!" Zhengzheng nodded her little head.
Ye Xianya: "..."
This little guy always likes to act cute and charming, but actually, it's not that cute.
However, this does not stop Ye Xianya from liking it.
After returning to the Ye family home, Ye Xianya was about to go inside to rest before having her meal when she heard Qi Jiu say that Qi Chengshuo had arrived.
“Chengshuo arrived an hour ago, saying he had something important to discuss with you. I noticed he looked a bit off, and I wasn’t sure if he was sick. When I asked him, he wouldn’t say anything, so I told him to rest in the side room first.”
Qi Jiu couldn't help but complain about his nephew: "Although I'm quite familiar with this kid, he's aloof and sometimes doesn't like to talk to people, which is the worst thing about him. I, as his uncle, care about him, and he dares to hide it from me..."
Ye Xianya looked at him with some surprise upon hearing this.
Is he talking about Qi Chengshuo?
Doesn't like to talk to people?
She never noticed.
Qi Chengshuo talked quite a lot in front of her, while she, on the other hand, spoke less.
"Father, which room in the backyard does he live in?" Ye Xianya asked.
"The third room from the left," Qi Jiu quickly replied.
"Then I'll go find him!" Ye Xianya said and started walking forward, but she hadn't gone far when she suddenly turned back.
"Father, I want to move to a bigger house, a large house with several separate courtyards, so that it will be more convenient for everyone to live there. If you and Mother are free this afternoon, please go to the real estate agency and take a look for me."
Upon hearing this, Ye Miaoyun, who had just arrived, asked in surprise, "Xianya, where did you get the money?"
"I don't have much money, but I can borrow from Zhengzheng. She has already agreed," Ye Xianya said quickly.
After Qi Chengshuo had his men sell Zhengzheng's gold and silver jewelry, he gave them a total of 130,000 taels of silver, which was a huge sum of money.
Zhengzheng said that Ye Xianya would keep all the silver, and all she needed to do was feed it the Hundred Beast Pills.
“Alright, then your father and I will go to the brokerage this afternoon.” Ye Miaoyun smiled and nodded.
"Don't be in such a hurry!" Qi Jiu quickly interjected, "I'm already the Crown Prince, don't I have a big house for you to live in? Why go to a brokerage?"
Qi Jiu laughed as he spoke: "Wife, will you accompany me to the Imperial Household Department this afternoon? We can choose whatever we like. If one house isn't enough, we'll have two, okay?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Miaoyun glanced at Ye Xianya subconsciously, shook her head, and said, "This...this isn't a good idea, is it? We can't let people think that my family is trying to cheat you."
"How is this a scam? Ever since we met, the Ye family has been supporting me. It's only right that I give my parents-in-law and my daughter a house. Anyone who dares to talk nonsense will be beaten up," Qi Jiu said excitedly.
"But..." Ye Miaoyun still hesitated.
“We’ve chosen two large houses. One will be for my parents-in-law and brother-in-law, and the other will be for our Xianya. Xianya sometimes needs to take Zhengzheng with her to cultivate, so having her own house will definitely be more convenient. We’ll choose the bigger one, which will be her princess’s residence in the future. What do you think, my lady?” Qi Jiu said with a smile.
Ye Miaoyun looked at her daughter upon hearing this.
Let our daughter make the decision.
"Then thank you very much, Father!" Ye Xianya said with a smile.
She is now single-mindedly focused on regaining her strength, spending most of her time cultivating every day, and the rest of her time telling fortunes for others, which is also a way of accumulating good karma so that her cultivation path can be smoother and she can regain her strength sooner.
Although she has lived two lives, she doesn't care about money.
She was just short of money before, so she had to work harder, since her whole family depended on her to support them.
As for now?
Taoyuanju is doing quite well, enough to support my maternal grandparents and their entire family.
Mother is going to the palace with Father again, so we won't have to worry about making a living anymore.
Ye Xianya didn't want to dwell on it too much.
If Father wants to give it to me, then I'll take it!
"Then let's go to the Imperial Household Department to see the residence this afternoon!" Qi Jiu said excitedly.
"Okay!" Ye Miaoyun nodded gently.
"I'll go check on Qi Chengshuo first, and then I'll come back to have lunch with Father and Mother later." After saying that, Ye Xianya hurriedly went to the side room to find Qi Chengshuo.
Qi Chengshuo, leaning against the daybed, felt as if his whole body was on fire, and he was extremely uncomfortable. He drank cup after cup of water, but it didn't help. His chest area was particularly hot to the touch, which was quite frightening.
When Ye Xianya entered, she saw him with his clothes open, revealing his muscular chest. He was resting on the daybed, his eyes somewhat unfocused, as if he were not fully conscious.
"Qi Chengshuo!" Ye Xianya called out.
Qi Chengshuo stared at her for a moment, his eyes slowly regaining their clarity: "Xianya, my chest feels like it's on fire, it's so uncomfortable."
Upon hearing this, Ye Xianya quickly reached out and touched it, almost burning her hand.
How could a person's skin be so hot?
However, thinking that Qi Chengshuo had a special heart, Ye Xianya did not delay and quickly used magic to examine her internally.
"Qi Chengshuo, can you believe it? Your heart looks like it's melted." Ye Xianya paused slightly and began to gesture with her hands: "It's like molten lava, only with a thin membrane wrapped around it. It still looks like a heart, but inside it's full of flowing energy."
Ye Xianya could hardly believe what she was seeing.
This is incredible!
