Before leaving the space, Xue Huan hesitated for a moment, but decided to say to Mu He, "You should have noticed how special this place is. To be honest, this is actually my own private little world, and I'm the only one who can enter and exit it at any time. To keep this secret secret, I can only keep you here for now."
Muzuru was stunned for a moment, "Well, it's okay, thank you for telling me this."
Xue Huan couldn't bear to look at his dim eyes, but the space was her biggest secret. Once it was leaked, she would probably be killed, so she had no choice but to apologize to him.
Watching Xue Huan disappear out of thin air in front of him, Mu He felt that the whole space had become deserted.
After hovering in place for a while, he flew to a huge rose and lay down.

Qin's ice cream shop has officially opened. The store not only sells ice cream but also wholesales it.
However, because Zhao Ji was the first to sell ice cream and the environment in the shop was unmatched by other shops, Zhao Ji's business was not greatly affected.
Xue Huan stayed in the shop for a few days in a row. The business became increasingly stable, and Zhenniang and the others also got the hang of it. Everything was on track, so she no longer went there every day, but only occasionally to check in.
Since she no longer needed to worry about the shop, she focused her energy on another matter.
After waking up from her nap that day, she didn't bring Ah Man with her. She rode her horse alone, wearing a veil that covered her entire body, and went to the Tianxia Pawnshop in the north city.
The old man behind the counter still looked listless and sleepy. Xue Huan went in and knocked on the counter which was higher than her head.
The old man looked at her, walked down slowly, opened the secret door and let her in. "The thing is upstairs, go and see for yourself." The old man pointed to the room upstairs.
After saying that, he went back to the counter and continued to lie down, fanning himself intermittently with the palm-leaf fan in his hand.
There was a low table next to him, on which stood a plate of fried peanuts and a pot of wine. It was obvious that the old man lived a very carefree life.
Xue Huan did not go upstairs immediately. Instead, she placed the ice box in her hand on the low table and opened it.
The old man heard the noise and opened one eye to see what she was doing.
But she took out a plate of fresh and juicy fruits from the ice box, which were still cold and obviously chilled, a bowl of cold noodles with rich red and spicy toppings, a bowl of drunken shrimps that were still lively, and finally an ice cream.
Xue Huan said, "We've dealt with each other several times, but I still don't know your name."
The old man looked at the overflowing, tempting food in front of him and snorted. "Want to get close to me, an old man? Forget it. We're just business people. If you ever leave this shop, I won't recognize you. So, don't waste your time. Take the food away. I won't eat it."
After saying that, he closed his eyes.
Xue Huan didn't get angry, nor did she put the things back. Instead, she turned around and went upstairs.
The business scope of pawnshops throughout the world is very wide. Last time, Xue Huan tried to ask the old man to help her keep an eye on the items flowing out of the palace. The old man really accepted the commission and asked her to come back after a while.
This time, Xue Huan came to see if the pawnshop had received what she wanted.
When she came upstairs, before she even entered the house, she felt her palms getting hot, indicating that there was something containing purple energy inside!
The things in the room were placed randomly. In the middle was a bronze tripod. The antique shelves on all four sides and the floor were all filled with things. When you walked in, a cloud of dust was stirred up.
Dust danced in the beam of light slanting in from the window.
This place is really hot and stuffy.
The Five Elements Bead in Xue Huan's hand flew out, landed above the bronze tripod, and began to absorb the purple air emanating from it.
In fact, even if the Five Elements Beads do not absorb it, the purple energy contained in these objects will gradually dissipate over time, but the speed of dissipation will be slower.
The Five Elements Bead simply absorbed the purple energy that was about to dissipate in advance and used it for its own benefit.
Xue Huan walked slowly around the room, looking at the objects, as if looking for something she liked.
She was a complete layman in the antique business, so she couldn't tell the good from the bad, and could only judge based on the choice of the five elements beads.
The bronze tripod that it set its sights on as soon as it came in had purple mist swirling around its surface, which undoubtedly showed that it had had close contact with an emperor. Perhaps this was the tripod used by an emperor for sacrifice.
However, there was no use for her to buy this tripod, so she had to get it for free.
She doesn't buy everything that contains purple energy. If the thing itself is to her liking and useful, she will naturally spend money on it. But if she doesn't like it, or if it is of no use to her, then why would she buy it?
Although it was a bit unkind to get something for free like this, why should she be so stingy with money? Besides, the purple aura on those things didn't originally belong to the seller.
After absorbing the purple air from the bronze tripod, the Five Elements Bead flew to the top of the antique shelf, in front of a glass lamp.
The glass lamp was higher than her head, and she hadn't noticed it before. But when she took a look, she found that the glass lamp was quite beautiful.
Xue Huan looked around, brought in a chair from outside, stepped on it and took down the glass lamp.
The clarity of the colored glass at that time was generally not very high, so it was not very popular, but the clarity of this one is almost comparable to that of modern glass, and the color is extremely pure, like jade. When exposed to sunlight, it is as crystal clear as jade.
Xue Huan looked at the lamp and felt very familiar with it. Moreover, she couldn't miss it just because of its beautiful appearance.
She had originally thought that apart from these two items, there were no other objects in the house that contained purple energy. After all, encountering two at once, and both containing quite strong purple energy, was already surprising enough.
Unexpectedly, the Five Elements Beads flew to an inkstone. The inkstone was pure black and of simple style. There were a few simple carvings on it, and the specific shape could not be seen. It looked like an animal but not an animal, like wood but not wood. It seemed that it was done casually, or it might be the texture of the inkstone itself.
What surprised her was that the purple aura contained in this inkstone was the most intense, far exceeding that of the bronze tripod.
It took four or five minutes for the Five Elements Beads to absorb everything.
You should know that the Five Elements Bead is no longer the same Five Elements Bead as it was at the beginning. It has recovered some of its vitality, and the speed at which it absorbs purple energy has greatly increased.
The purple aura of this inkstone is so rich that it might have been the imperial inkstone of an emperor.
Only after years of contact with the emperor can one be infected with such a majestic purple aura.
Xue Huan carefully picked up the inkstone and looked at it in the sunlight. The originally pure black inkstone actually had a faint golden color in the sunlight, as if it had been tempered with gold.
Could this be the legendary ink gold stone?
