"Xuan Yin Ning Po Pearl, what a good thing."
Jiugui's smile froze on his face and he bowed hurriedly.
"Your Highness is joking. These things are not worthy of your Highness's attention."
Li Lingge raised his hand to interrupt him, pulled out a roll of plain paper from his sleeve, and gently placed it on the gift box.
The names of the medicinal herbs were densely written on the plain paper, and at the top were three big characters: Zhushen Dan.
"How does the recipe for the God-Forging Pill compare to the Mysterious Yin Soul-Condensing Pearl?"
Jiugui's breathing became noticeably faster, and his skinny fingers trembled as he picked up the plain paper.
He has been stuck in the Divine Emperor realm for many years and has been unable to advance any further.
If one could obtain the God-Forging Pill, one's cultivation would be able to advance further, and one could even gain the power of the ancient gods.
Not to mention nine Xuanyin Ningpo beads, even nine hundred Xuanyin Ningpo beads are not as good as the Zhushen Pill.
Li Lingge could naturally see the greed in his eyes.
"I think you should know how to choose and who to help."
"Your Highness, please understand! I am willing to serve you at my utmost!" Jiugui handed the handkerchief in his hand out with both hands.
"Thank you very much."
While Li Lingge took the handkerchief, he reached out and grabbed the jade pendant that was broken into two pieces at the door and put it into Jiugui's hand.
…
As the lights came on, the entire city of Chang'an seemed to be lit by sparks.
Zhuque Street was bustling with people, and thousands of lanterns hung between the red buildings and painted pavilions, illuminating the night sky like daylight.
On both sides of the long street, the shouts of vendors can be heard one after another.
The old man selling sugar figures flipped his wrist, and the amber syrup flowed into a lively auspicious beast under the firelight.
In front of the rouge shop, the girls covered their lips and giggled, their fingertips brushing over the newly ground cinnabar in the porcelain box.
On the second floor of the tavern, scholars and poets raised their glasses to the moon, and the wine splashed onto the poetry paper, spreading a sweet osmanthus fragrance.
Suddenly, a cluster of silver flowers exploded in the sky, and thousands of flames fell to the earth.
"Look! It's Nine Phoenixes Facing the Sun!" The crowd burst into cheers.
The fireworks bloomed into nine golden tails in the night sky, illuminating Yun Ji's upturned face.
Today she wore a moon-white fairy dress with butterfly patterns, the sleeves of which were embellished with tiny pearls, and every step she took seemed to be stepping on the stars.
Li Lingge, who was standing beside her, was wearing a black brocade robe, with his hands always around Yun Ji's waist, as if he was protecting a handful of fragile snow.
"This revolving lantern is quite ingenious."
Li Lingge suddenly stopped and lightly tapped the rotating shadow on the lamp stand with his fingertips.
In the shadow of the lantern, Chang'e's clothes fluttered in the wind as she chased a escaping jade rabbit.
Yun Ji pursed her lips and smiled, reaching out to touch the lantern paper.
"Look, these rabbit ears can move."
As she spoke, she couldn't help but glance behind her, still feeling a little uneasy.
"Are you really alright?"
Li Lingge hugged her waist tightly.
"Don't worry, everything has been arranged."
…
The night was as dark as ink, with a full moon hanging high in the sky. Its cool light sprinkled on the bluestone railings of the moon-viewing platform, reflecting two graceful figures.
Madam Yun was wearing a dark blue brocade robe with dark golden phoenix patterns embroidered on the hem, which shone with a cold luster in the moonlight.
Her fingertips rested lightly on the railing, and her nails painted with red nails tapped the stone surface intermittently like some kind of silent urging.
Yun Lan Yi stood beside her, her crimson skirt slightly lifted by the night breeze, revealing a pair of soft satin embroidered shoes with canaries.
Her eyes were fixed on the beautiful couple on the long street, with a mixture of jealousy and pleasure surging in her eyes.
"Mother, Kuki won't break his promise, right?"
Madam Yun's lips curled up slightly, but the smile did not reach her eyes.
"Don't worry, since Kuki has accepted your gift, he will definitely take care of this matter."
Her gaze swept across Yun Ji's slender back, and a hint of coldness flashed in her eyes.
Nine Xuanyin Ningpo beads, such a heavy bargaining chip, Jiugui has no reason to refuse.
