The system feigned difficulty, remaining silent for a long while before its voice, tinged with weariness and helplessness, said, "Sigh! Master, you can die early if you want, but you can't be as lazy as you are now. You need to experience the life of a mortal properly, otherwise we won't be able to explain to the Immortal Venerable when we return!"
Yue Fuguang cried out in protest, "Wasn't I approachable enough? Look at those past three years, I was sick all the time at the Taoist temple, always ready to help others and work hard. Who didn't think I was a diligent, sensible, and pitiful little thing? Can't I win an award for that acting?"
Yue Fuguang felt that by making such complaints, she could minimize the doubts that the Dayan ruler and his ministers had about her performance at the Taoist temple over the past three years.
She had heard that Emperor Mingxi had sent people to investigate the Taoist temple where she lived.
Those in power are inherently suspicious, and despite all the incredible things she did, they wouldn't miss a single detail.
[Master, you yourself said it was all an act. You need to truly see yourself as the mortal Yue Fuguang, not the immortal Yue Fuguang.]
"When did I ever consider myself a celestial lord, Yue Fuguang? My master has sealed 99% of my memories, so I don't remember much about the celestial realm."
The story of the seven fairies descending to earth to secretly meet their lovers doesn't count. The story of the immortal Zihua liking his little apprentice also doesn't count. The story of the thousand-year-old white snake spirit descending to earth and having a child with a mortal doesn't count.
And what about Sun Wukong's journey to the West to obtain the Buddhist scriptures? Where are the master and his disciples now?
The master of gossip in the celestial realm remembers quite a bit. Little Pearl doesn't necessarily want you to truly become a mortal girl.
After all, this is ancient times, and girls have a low status. The master can't live a life of meekness and subservience. Ordinary people are like ants; who dares to provoke you? Little Beads will surely chop them down. But you can't just lie there and do nothing.
"Okay, okay, I'll find something fun to do. Little Bead, why do I feel like I'm becoming more and more childish?"
[Master's soul is being affected by this small body; it will be fine as he grows up.]
As the Dayan emperor and his ministers walked toward the front hall, they were stunned to hear the divine artifact comparing them to ants once again!
Normally, they're the ones who compare others to ants, but now they're being treated like ants again and again. You know what, you get used to it after a while!
"Fuguang, today is your big day. Besides me, the Empress Dowager and the Empress have also prepared gifts for you and have already sent them to your courtyard. Go back later and see if you like them. If you don't like them, we can change them next time."
Yue Fuguang smiled and nodded, "Alright, I've also prepared return gifts for the Empress Dowager and the Empress. Your Majesty, please deliver them to them when you return."
"Alright, what has Fuguang prepared for the Empress Dowager and the Empress?" Emperor Mingxi was chatting with a junior like an ordinary elder.
Don't worry about whether the conversation is meaningful or not; the more people interact, the deeper their friendship will naturally become. Their ruler and his ministers haven't given up on the matter of the superior breed.
"Some skincare products and perfumes" are all produced by the system, cheap and effective, and without the messy additives of modern society.
Women, no matter how old they are, never change their love of beauty.
She assured that these gifts would surely win over the Empress Dowager and the Queen in the palace.
Yue Fuguang felt that if she relied solely on the system to wholesale and retail women's products, she could make a fortune and count money while lying down.
Unfortunately, for a time traveler like her, what difference is there between money and dirt that she can't take with her?
"System, I still have to complain, you guys are really too stingy. How many 'advanced' systems like yours don't come with a system space?"
It's made me lose all motivation to make money in this world. What's the point of making so much money if I can't take it with me? What's the point? Where's my motivation to work?
The system felt somewhat guilty seeing its host about to go berserk and hearing her praise herself as a high-ranking system.
So he quickly comforted his kind-hearted host, saying, "Host, host, don't be angry. Getting angry will only hurt your health, and no one can take your place. Didn't we agree to buy a storage ring once we've saved enough points? That ring is soul-bound; as long as your soul doesn't perish, the ring will always be yours."
"Do you think I don't want to buy it? Look, a storage ring costs me 100,000 points. Do you think I'm some kind of cheap sucker? I only have less than 1,000 points in total. You want me to take out a loan to buy it?"
It's not impossible.
"You dare to borrow, but I don't dare to use it. 100,000 points are almost enough for one of my hands. I'm not willing to spend them. Don't treat me like a sucker."
You don't even want those cheap 10-cubic-meter storage bags.
"A ten-cubic-meter storage bag can be compared to a five-hundred-cubic-meter storage ring. Besides, that thing can't be bound to the soul. Will we still have any left when we pass through the space tunnel?"
Besides, I wouldn't even dare to dream of a storage bracelet, but wouldn't I at least dare to dream of a storage ring?
She's never worried about money in her life, but can you believe she was forced to learn to be frugal after time-traveling?
[It's because your soul is too weak; you can only contract one storage item at most.]
Are you blaming me?
The system sensed its host's emotional fluctuations, and the aggrieved little white ball of fluff wrinkled up.
It said, "[It's my fault, it's all my fault! Don't worry, we'll definitely be able to snag it when the mall has a sale.]"
"System, you're just making empty promises again. In three years, the system store has only had two discounts, and those were both luxury items. Do I look like someone who can afford them?"
Let's reveal more scoops and earn more points.
Soon the group arrived at the banquet venue in the front courtyard. Emperor Mingxi could not possibly dine with everyone, but he still wanted to enjoy himself with the people.
So Madam Yu ordered a fine gauze screen to be hung in the flower hall where the banquet was held, so that people on both sides could vaguely see each other, but not clearly, creating a hazy beauty.
After everyone was seated, cold dishes were served first. Yue Fuguang thought of her points and her cheap older brother.
She couldn't wait to start causing trouble. As an appetizer for these people, she said, "Hey, Little Pearl, isn't that woman in the red dress my older brother's fiancée, Wei Shuyun?"
[She is the master. She's being generously adopted today, and as your future sister-in-law, she'll definitely be here.]
"Sister-in-law? She doesn't even deserve it! How far have things progressed between her and Xu Shao, that little disciple of her father Wei Chen?"
They've already done all the kissing, hugging, and lifting her up high; they're just waiting for her older brother to marry her early next year so they can do their illicit affair.
"No, if they love each other so much, why not just say so? I remember their affair started before they were engaged to my older brother, right?"
Because Xu Shao's family was poor, they simply couldn't afford to support Miss Wei, who was used to a life of luxury. Besides, Xu Shao was only a scholar at the county level, and who knew when he would pass the imperial examination.
Wei Shuyun, a daughter of an official, couldn't endure hardship, and she certainly couldn't accept being the wife of a scholar. Therefore, she currently only wanted a fleeting affair with Xu Shao.
"So you're saying this woman is two-timing, liking Xu Shao's body and sweet words, but also eyeing my brother's money and the good status he can give her!"
Those who heard the whispers secretly glanced at the Wei family mother and daughter, who were completely unaware of what was happening. Seeing that their in-laws were only adopting a daughter and that even the Emperor had come, the two women felt honored.
