Shu Jianyue sat on the roof of the inn, looking at the glittering starry sky, and couldn't help but think of Yan Xi.
Thinking about it, he entered the space and arrived at the room where Yan Xi was.
Seeing her lying there quietly, my heart softened.
Yan Xi sensed someone coming in, opened her eyes and saw it was her, immediately jumped up, "Mother, you haven't come in for so long."
Shu Jianyue kissed her. "I'm sorry, we've only been in the Eight Desolations for a short time. Xixi, would you like to go out and take a look?"
"I want to..." Yan Xi, who was usually quiet, spoke with an eagerness that showed how bored she was of being alone.
"Mother, didn't you say you would find some spirit beasts to bring in? Haven't you found any yet?"
Shu Jianyue shook her head, "I haven't met anyone suitable. How about I have Ziyu come in and keep you company?"
"You can also release Wu Huang, let her keep you company and help you pick fruit or something."
Yan Xi shook her head and said, "Wu Huang is also receiving the inheritance, so she is asleep."
"Then let Ziyu come in first to keep you company." She needs to carefully examine all aspects of the spirit beasts she can confidently put into her space, so they are not so easy to find.
Yan Xi nodded.
Shu Jianyue took her out of the space and carried her to the bustling street. "Xixi, if you see anything you like, tell Mommy, and Mommy will buy it for you and put it in the space to play with."
Yan Xi nodded.
After walking for a while, Chong Jiu came over. When he saw Yan Xi in her arms, he reached out and rubbed her tiny head.
Then he said the same thing as Shu Jianyue.
Yan Xi squinted and nodded. For some reason, she really liked the feeling of her father rubbing her head.
Seeing this, Chong Jiu took her from Shu Jianyue's arms and stroked her fur as he walked.
Shu Jianyue asked, "Did Lian Sheng leave?"
Chong Jiu nodded. "He never belonged here, so naturally he went back."
"However, I asked him to investigate Fu Lishi's matter, and I hope he won't disappoint me."
Shu Jianyue turned to look at him, "The fact that you can talk to him shows that you know his nature."
Chong Jiu was confident in his judgment of people, yet he was still betrayed.
So he changed the subject, saying, "When I came out, Gu Pingsheng asked us when we were going to Shengshi Academy."
"If there's nothing else, let's set off tomorrow," Shu Jianyue said, looking at a stone in the shop next door.
After thinking for a moment, he went inside and picked up the stone.
Upon seeing this, the waiter immediately smiled and said, "This stone was brought back by our master from the Sihai Fotuo Temple. I heard it is extremely rare."
"Oh, how many spirit stones?" Shu Jianyue came in because she saw that the stone was special.
She didn't care whether it came from Fotuo Temple or not.
The waiter chuckled and held up two fingers. "Two hundred mid-grade spirit stones."
"Heh, you guys can keep it to yourselves." After saying that, Shu Jianyue pulled Zhong Jiu and walked out.
The waiter immediately stepped forward to stop the two, "Hey, sirs, if you want it, we can talk about it. Two hundred won't do, but one hundred and eighty will do."
Shu Jianyue also held up two fingers, smiling as she looked at him, "Twenty mid-grade spirit stones, that's all."
The waiter's face immediately darkened, and he put down his hand and said, "Then please go ahead."
"Who haggles like that?"
"Heh, I'm probably the only one who's asked the price of this stone. I'm already being very generous by offering twenty yuan." Just as Shu Jianyue was about to step out, the shopkeeper, who had been watching from behind the counter, said, "Alright, consider twenty yuan as making friends."
"May I ask how this young lady is addressed?"
Shu Jianyue looked at him, thought for a moment, and said, "Just call him Changqing."
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up. "You must be the alchemist Chang Qing from the Lower Ten Domains?"
Shu Jianyue was surprised that someone knew her alias, Bahuang. "You know me?"
"How could I not know? Every single one of your pills is of the highest quality! I was even thinking of going down to find you, but I never expected to run into you in my own shop. It's truly an honor." The shopkeeper walked up to her with a smile, his eyes gleaming.
"Oh, you want me to refine pills?" Shu Jianyue didn't miss the scheming in his eyes.
The shopkeeper smiled and nodded, "Yes, this stone is for Miss Changqing. We would also appreciate it if Miss Changqing would do us the honor of refining a few batches of pills for us, how about it?"
For some reason, her pills were more effective than those made by others, and they were free of toxicity.
Therefore, we must keep her here.
It's a pity that I can't see through her cultivation level; otherwise, if I can't keep her with benefits, I'll have to use force to keep her here.
Shu Jianyue sneered inwardly, "Sorry, I just entered Shengshi Academy and don't plan to help others refine pills anymore. If you urgently need them, you should go to the Pill Hall."
"They've entered Shengshi Academy?" The shopkeeper's face immediately fell.
Everything else is fine, but if she goes to Shengshi Academy and causes trouble herself, and they find out, she'll be in deep trouble.
"Prosperous Academy is great! With your exceptional alchemy skills, you must be very popular there."
Shu Jianyue tossed down twenty mid-grade spirit stones and laughed, "I haven't even reported for duty yet, but I'm already getting ready to go."
The shopkeeper's eyes lit up. "You haven't reported for duty yet!" That's a golden opportunity!
Shu Jianyue put the stone away and nodded with a smile, "Yes, the dean will take me there."
The shopkeeper was stunned again. "You, you mean Dean Gu?"
"Otherwise, does Shengshi have other deans?" Shu Jianyue's expression was so innocent.
Seeing the shopkeeper's ever-changing expressions, I couldn't help but laugh inside.
Chong Jiu secretly squeezed her hand, his face full of doting affection.
"Alright, I'm not talking to you anymore, I have to go see the dean." Shu Jianyue said, turning to leave.
The shopkeeper hardened his heart and raised his hand, scattering a handful of pale green powder.
Shu Jianyue immediately used her spirit-binding technique to send the powder flying back, scattering it all over the shopkeeper and the waiter.
Then, the two of them fell straight down.
Shu Jianyue glanced at the bustling street, then her eyes darted around. She helped the shopkeeper behind the counter and used her spiritual power to support the waiter as he stood at the door.
Then, in a high-pitched voice, he announced, "Don't miss out! Everything in our store is on sale!"
"Each one only costs two spirit stones! Everyone hurry and grab them..."
"What, two spirit stones?"
"Then what are we waiting for? Hurry up and grab them, or they'll be gone."
A group of people suddenly rushed in.
Shu Jianyue had already pulled Chong Jiu out before they came in, and now the two of them were standing opposite each other watching.
Chong Jiu glanced at the petite woman beside him and chuckled, "She's quite the little devil."
Shu Jianyue wrinkled her nose and snorted coldly, "Hmph, they were after me, so I deserve this."
“Yes, he deserved it.” Yan Xi nodded in agreement.
Chong Jiu gently tapped her head, "Xi Xi, you mustn't go astray."
"You mean, I'm bad?" Shu Jianyue glanced at him sideways.
Chong Jiu immediately shook his head, "No, you are very cute, very smart, and very capable."
Yan Xi covered her mouth with her little paws and chuckled secretly.
