Chapter 86
Ji Mingqing felt that something was wrong with him.
He knew he was dreaming, but he couldn't wake up. He struggled hard, but was powerless.
In his hometown, this kind of situation would be considered a nightmare. As long as someone calls him, or someone sends him a message and lets him hear the ringing of a cell phone, he will wake up immediately.
But it’s different now. No one can call him, no one can push him awake, and there are no mobile phones.
Ji Mingqing was so anxious that he was sweating all over.
He now felt that he had all the energy but nowhere to use it, and he could clearly feel that he was in darkness. There were a lot of noises around him, but he couldn't hear a word.
Thinking that he might as well make the best of it, Ji Mingqing gave up running in his dream and stopped where he was.
After he stopped, the sounds around him became clearer, but even so, he could only hear some crying and some meaningless howls.
Ji Ming was a little scared when he listened, but when he thought it was a dream, he felt relieved. Then he pricked up his ears and tried hard to hear the content of the other people's random words.
But no matter how hard he tried, he still couldn't hear clearly. He was so angry that he clenched his fists, wanting to vent the anger in his heart. He now felt that his whole body was on fire, and the flames burned in his soul, making him furious and irritable.
Just when he was about to explode, Ji Mingqing suddenly felt a cool breath spreading downwards from the top of his head. The madness in Ji Mingqing's heart was dispelled by this cool feeling, and he finally calmed down.
Bai Cangze, who was standing in front of Ji Mingqing's bed, was lowering his head and looking at Ji Mingqing, who was clenching his fists and had a flushed cheek.
He didn't know what Ji Mingqing was dreaming about. If it were someone else, he could easily probe his spiritual sense into his sea of consciousness and check the contents. However, after his spiritual sense penetrated into Ji Mingqing's sea of consciousness, it disappeared like a drop in the ocean.
Bai Cangze sat down beside Ji Mingqing's bed and held Ji Mingqing's hand carefully and cautiously.
Ji Mingqing's fingers are slender but not soft. The slightly calloused areas on his palms prove that he has never been a pampered person.
After Bai Cangze touched this hand, he could no longer bear to let it go. At this moment, Ji Mingqing, who had just relaxed, began to tremble again. He unconsciously held Bai Cangze's hand tightly, and in a moment, fine beads of sweat oozed out.
Bai Cangze immediately transferred his spiritual energy into Ji Mingqing's body, so it may not have any effect, but it is better than nothing.
But Ji Mingqing's symptoms still did not improve. Bai Cangze thought for a while, reached into the air, took out a white elixir, and then stuffed it into Ji Mingqing's mouth without hesitation.
After taking the elixir, Bai Cangze saw that Ji Mingqing's expression had eased a little, and he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
At this moment, someone outside the door asked to see him. Bai Cangze bent down, took out a handkerchief, gently wiped the sweat off Ji Mingqing, and whispered in his ear, "I'll be back soon."
Then he let go of Ji Mingqing's hand, but Ji Mingqing unconsciously held Bai Cangze's hand tightly, not letting him leave.
Bai Cangze struggled twice, but found that he couldn't get free, so he sat down again and sent a message to the outside of the door.
"I can't go out for the time being. Tell me what you found."
Xiang Wenshu, who was standing outside the door, said, "...Nothing much. It's just that tomorrow is the final selection of new recruits. I wonder if the Lord can show up."
Bai Cangze hesitated for a moment and said, "I'll go there tomorrow."
"Yes!" After Xiang Wenshu received Bai Cangze's accurate reply, he turned around and left, and used this news to appease the gods who had traveled thousands of miles to Kunze Palace but had never seen the Lord.
In the past, when newcomers were being selected, the Lord would make evaluations in the stands every day. This time, for some unknown reason, the Lord did not appear once.
The immortals who came here all felt that they were at a disadvantage.
Bai Cangze knew what others were thinking, but Ji Mingqing's coma for unknown reasons really made him worried.
Since tomorrow is the last day, I'll just show up and come back as soon as possible.
Unexpectedly, a turning point came in the evening. As the sun set in the west, Ji Mingqing's hand gradually relaxed and his breathing became slower. Seeing that nothing was wrong, Bai Cangze let go of his hand, walked to the desk beside him, and began to handle official business.
Even though he has distributed most of the official business to his subordinates, there are still some things that need his attention. Bai Cangze has been unwilling to deal with them these days, so the official business has piled up.
Just as Bai Cangze was looking at the letter about [Xi Haiyun discovered a mutant fairy plant], he heard Ji Mingqing humming softly from the bed.
Bai Cangze immediately teleported to the bedside. He nervously touched Ji Mingqing's forehead and found that the temperature was not as hot as usual. Just when he took out a handkerchief to wipe Ji Mingqing's sweat again, he saw the eyelashes of the person on the bed trembled, as if struggling, as if fighting with his own sea of consciousness.
Bai Cangze sighed. He was no longer surprised by such situations. It had been like this for the past few days. At first, he thought Ji Mingqing was about to wake up, but he was disappointed every time.
Bai Cangze wiped Ji Mingqing's sweat and whispered, "When can you wake up? Don't you want to watch the new talent selection? Tomorrow is the last day."
"How do you know I want to watch the new talent selection?" After Ji Mingqing said this, he slowly opened his eyes. Bai Cangze's hand trembled in shock, and the handkerchief in his hand fell, directly covering Ji Mingqing's eyes.
Ji Mingqing, who had just woken up, did not expect that he would be treated like this. His mind was still a little confused, but anyone who had just woken up would not be able to react to this sudden attack.
Ji Mingqing was confused and didn't know what was going on. He raised his hand and tried to remove the unknown object covering his eyes, but the moment his hand touched the handkerchief, the entire handkerchief turned into powder.
Ji Mingqing was startled, but the sudden change made him sober up immediately. He supported himself with his hands and sat up on the bed. When he raised his head, he saw a noble and majestic man looking down at him with an unfathomable expression.
Ji Mingqing panicked. He looked around, but he was in an unfamiliar place and had never seen the person in front of him before. He subconsciously shouted two words.
"Komaru..."
When Bai Cangze heard Ji Mingqing's words, he was shocked. No way, he wouldn't be discovered. Bai Cangze thought he was hiding very well. With Ji Mingqing's level, it was impossible for him to see through his disguise.
Bai Cangze was unsure. He coughed lightly and asked, "What are you talking about?"
Ji Mingqing was even more unsure. He and Xiaowan had agreed to stay together, so how come Xiaowan was missing now?
There won't be any danger, right?
Ji Mingqing recalled the last scene before he lost consciousness. He touched the core of the Hongmeng Treasure Tree at the door of Kunze Palace, which was said to be able to fulfill the wishes of gods.
After touching it, the tree core seemed to emit a green light, and then he lost consciousness and didn't know how he ended up lying in this strange place.
Ji Mingqing immediately became panicked. He didn't care that there was a stranger standing in front of him. He just wanted to leave here and find Xiaowan. As a result, the moment he stood up, his whole body swayed twice, then he lost his strength and fell back onto the bed.
Bai Cangze subconsciously wanted to hug Ji Mingqing, but due to his identity, he had to continue pretending.
"You've just recovered from a serious illness, so you should rest for a while. There's no need to be so anxious."
Ji Mingqing looked puzzled, "I just recovered from a serious illness? No, I'm not sick."
"Six days ago, you fainted at the gate of Kunze Palace. Not a single trace of spiritual energy was left in your body. It took you six days to wake up. Doesn't this count as recovering from a serious illness?"
"I was in a coma for six days!" Ji Mingqing couldn't believe it. "Then why am I not hungry at all?"
Bai Cangze looked at Ji Mingqing helplessly, "Is this the question you want to ask? You are a god, so naturally you don't need to eat."
Ji Mingqing thought for a moment, then nodded his head again, "I always forget. Oh, by the way, have you seen my cat?"
Bai Cangze was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be calm and replied: "He is safe and is somewhere else now."
"Then can you take me to find him?" Ji Mingqing thought that he had been in a coma for six days, and Xiaowan must be very worried.
Maybe the person who brought him here for help was Xiaowan.
Oh right, Ji Mingqing just thought of a question. He turned around and looked at the man standing next to him, and asked a little embarrassedly, "Excuse me, where is this place?"
Bai Cangze replied expressionlessly: "This is Kunze Palace, my bedroom."
"Oh." It turned out that he had slept in someone else's bed. Ji Mingqing stroked the wrinkles on the bed a little embarrassedly, "Then may I ask your name? What should I call you?"
"My name is Bai Cangze, you can call me Lord."
What! ! !
Ji Mingqing thought he had misheard. He wanted to ask back whether it was true or not, but if the person in front of him was the real Lord, it would be too rude to ask like that.
Wait, what did he just do? He actually asked the Lord to help him find the cat!
Moreover, he actually slept in the Lord's bedroom for six days, which was equivalent to sleeping on the dragon bed for six days!
"Really?" Ji Mingqing couldn't believe it. "I..." He quickly turned over from the bed and wanted to salute the master. No matter whether it was true or false, he could talk about it later.
As long as there is a one in ten thousand chance that he is the real Lord, Ji Mingqing cannot be rude here.
Unfortunately, things did not go as planned. The moment Ji Ming fell out of bed, his legs and feet became uncontrollable again and he knelt in front of Bai Cangze without a second thought.
Ji Mingqing, who wanted to bend down and bow, "..."
It’s not impossible to kneel down!
Bai Cangze saw Ji Mingqing's flustered look, which looked especially like the little deer on the top of the snowy mountain that had never met anyone before. He looked panicked but also a little curious, which made people want to go up and tease him.
"I didn't ask you to kneel, what are you doing?" Dai Sangze said in a serious tone, "Hurry up and stand up, I want to ask you some questions."
Ji Mingqing supported himself on the ground with his hands, trying to stand up, but his legs were weak and his hands naturally had no strength either. After struggling for a few times, he found that he could not stand up.
Ji Mingqing leaned to the side in frustration, "Sorry, my Lord, I can't stand up."
Bai Cangze turned his back and laughed silently. Ji Mingqing looked so adorable.
After laughing enough, he turned around and became the serious lord again.
Bai Cangze and Ji Mingqing looked at each other. He took two steps forward, bent down, and picked up Ji Mingqing from the ground.
Ji Mingqing was surprised. He didn't expect the Lord to be so approachable. He thought that in this situation, the Lord would just raise his hand and throw him back to the bed.
Even if the Lord threw him out, he wouldn't think there was anything strange about it.
Ji Mingqing was trembling with fear. He quietly raised his head to look at the Lord, but found that his eyes met with the Lord's in mid-air. He was startled and quickly lowered his head, not daring to speak.
"Eat this. I'll ask you something later."
Bai Cangze took out a Qinglu Pill that he had just fed to Ji Mingqing. This pill was made from the antlers that naturally fell off from a thousand-year-old divine deer. There were only a few of this pill in the entire fairy world.
However, Ji Mingqing didn't know all this. He just obediently took the pill from Bai Cangze's hand and put it into his mouth without hesitation.
Before taking the pill, Ji Mingqing was worried that he didn't have any water with him and he might not be able to swallow such a big pill, but he didn't know how to ask the Lord for water.
Unexpectedly, this pill melted in the mouth and had a hint of sweet taste. Ji Mingqing ate one and even wanted another one.
But he was not in a position to ask the Lord for anything, so he raised his head and looked at Bai Cangze, "Thank you, Lord."
Bai Cangze suddenly felt a little depressed by this title. It would be fine if others called him that, but there was a hint of alienation in Ji Mingqing's tone when he called him.
Not as pleasant as Xiaowan at all.
"Have you recovered?" Bai Cangze looked at Ji Mingqing and asked in a cold voice.
Ji Mingqing moved his legs and shook his arms, then looked back at Bai Cangze: "I'm back to normal, my Lord."
Bai Cangze nodded. He sat at the table and asked Ji Mingqing, "What happened the moment you touched Chu Shuxin?"
Ji Mingqing tried desperately to recall what happened at that time, but the embarrassing thing was that he really couldn't remember anything at all. Maybe he didn't know as much as the onlookers at that time.
He scratched his face uncomfortably, "Reporting to the Lord, I..."
"I can't recall."
Bai Cangze was not surprised. He then asked, "Then what abnormalities occurred in your sea of consciousness when you were unconscious?"
Something abnormal happened in his sea of consciousness? He didn't know!
Ji Mingqing was a little confused. After thinking about it, he felt that this answer was not good, so he had to tell him everything that happened in his dream.
"I only remember that I seemed to be surrounded by something in the dream, and there were crying sounds all around me. I couldn't hear clearly what they were crying about, but it seemed that my temper was not very good in the dream." Ji Mingqing felt a little embarrassed when he said this.
"I seemed to be extremely angry at the time, but I didn't know why I was angry. However, it didn't last long before a cool breeze came and suppressed my anger."
Bai Cangze thought about it and felt that Ji Mingqing was probably talking about the Qinglu Pill that he had fed him before.
"Besides that?"
"No more." Ji Mingqing answered honestly, "Really no more."
Bai Cangze glanced at him and said in a deep voice, "If nothing else, you can leave."
Ji Mingqing immediately turned over and got out of bed. This time, he found that his limbs had begun to recover, so he took two quick steps, walked in front of Bai Cangze, bowed deeply, and then asked with some concern.
"My Lord, will this matter have a great impact?"
Bai Cangze replied concisely: "It's okay, it's all taken care of."
After listening to this, Ji Ming finally felt relieved. He took two steps back, bowed deeply in the direction of Bai Cangze, and then said goodbye to Bai Cangze.
"I'll take my leave."
After saying that, he lowered his head and took two steps back until he reached the threshold, then turned around and left quickly.
Bai Cangze began to follow Ji Mingqing's process with some doubts in his mind.
"Where did Ji Mingqing learn this trick?"
After leaving Bai Cangze's bedroom, Ji Mingqing couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
Fortunately, I had watched a lot of palace fighting dramas with his mother before, and the great gods in them seemed to leave the Shangshufang in this way. At that time, his mother said that this rule seemed really troublesome.
I didn't expect it would come in handy now.
Ji Mingqing relaxed for a while. After he came out, he found an empty corner, took out the magic ring, and quickly dialed Xiaowan's mark.
The fairy ring rang twice, and a familiar voice came from the other side.
"Are you awake?"
After hearing Xiaowan's voice, Ji Mingqing felt relieved. "Wake up, wake up. Where are you? I'll go find you."
Xiaowan on the other side of the fairy ring refused: "You don't know the way, wait for me here, I will find you."
Ji Mingqing thought about it and agreed. "I just came out of the Lord's bedroom. I walked less than 200 meters. There is a yellow tree over here. Come and find me quickly."
A few minutes after hanging up the fairy ring, Ji Mingqing saw Xiaowan's figure appear in front of him.
"Komaru!"
Ji Mingqing exclaimed excitedly. He took two quick steps and ran to Xiaowan. He picked him up from the ground and held him in his arms.
"I didn't see you when I opened my eyes just now. I was so worried!"
Xiaowan didn't say a word, but just lay obediently in Ji Mingqing's arms.
Ji Mingqing kissed Xiaowan twice vigorously: "I guess you must have been scared when I fainted. I'm sorry, Xiaowan."
Bai Cangze said muffledly, "Nothing."
Ji Mingqing rubbed Xiaowan's head and said, "I couldn't feel the time after I fainted. You've been awake for six days, so the feeling must be different from mine."
After saying that, Ji Mingqing carried Xiaowan and walked out.
"Let's go! Brother will make it up to you! I'll buy you whatever you want!" Ji Mingqing was full of pride.
Bai Cangze: "...I want you to stop calling yourself brother."
Ji Mingqing laughed twice, then walked forward. After taking two steps, he discovered a problem.
"Xiaowan, I don't know the way."
Bai Cangze had already prepared for this. He pushed Ji Mingqing away and jumped from Ji Mingqing's arms to the ground. "Wait for me to leave. I'm familiar with this place."
Ji Mingqing exclaimed, "You've been here for six days and you've figured out all the routes. You're amazing!"
Bai Cangze did not answer, but took Ji Mingqing and turned several times before arriving at the side door of Kunze Palace.
"We went out through the side door. There are still many people at the main entrance."
The two people walked out of Kunze Palace from the side door. After leaving Kunlun Palace, Ji Mingqing suddenly felt a little lost.
"I don't know when I'll be able to enter Kunze Palace next time."
It’s a pity that he was too nervous just now and didn’t carefully observe every tree and blade of grass in Kunze Palace.
"It's nothing. If there's a chance, I can bring you to Kunze Palace."
Ji Mingqing just thought Xiaowan was joking and he didn't take it seriously. He was only concerned about how his stall was doing these days.
"Don't worry, Cui Ding and Xu Yihe are both running a very good business. Luckily, you left all the inventory storage bags with them before you left, otherwise all these days would have been wasted."
Ji Mingqing thought about it and realized that Xu Yihe and Cui Ding’s abilities to get things done were beyond doubt, so his worries were totally unnecessary.
But there was another thing that concerned him a little.
"Then can I still go to the rookie auditions tomorrow? I was in a coma for six days and didn't see any of the previous ones."
"Of course you can. Xu Yihe and Cui Ding have always prepared a place for you, but it has been vacant these days."
Hearing this, Ji Mingqing was deeply moved, "You are so kind to me!"
After resolving the two major issues on his mind, Ji Mingqing finally had the mind to chat with Xiaowan.
"Xiaowan, you know what? I just saw the Lord!"
Bai Cangze asked calmly, "So what do you think of the Lord?"
Ji Mingqing felt a little embarrassed, "I didn't even dare to look closely at the Lord's face, I just glanced at him a few times." Thinking of this, Ji Mingqing said with some aftertaste.
"The Lord is truly handsome, with a touch of dignity within his noble aura. He is clearly a person of high status, and he possesses a great deal of charisma. Although he can be a bit serious, there is a touch of gentleness within his seriousness."
"When he saw that I couldn't stand up, he offered me an elixir. That elixir must be something good!"
Ji Mingqing was not wrong in saying this. Each Qinglu Pill he fed him cost about three thousand immortal stones, and he had fed him five or six pills in total while Ji Mingqing was unconscious.
"And I said almost nothing, no useful information at all, all I said was nonsense, but the Lord was not angry at all!"
"You don't know what he can force you to say." Xiaowan replied, "Besides that, what do you think of the Lord?"
"The time we've spent together has been too brief. I just think it's perfectly normal for the Lord to be admired by so many. I heard from Cui Ding and the others that the Lord is always on the front lines in battle, and he always shares any spoils with his subordinates without being stingy."
"And why is the newcomer selection at Kunze Palace so popular? It's because the Lord has charisma, and the treatment is also very good. This kind of place is truly worthy of being a place that even gods want to come to."
When Bai Cangze heard this, he felt a little satisfied. It seemed that Ji Mingqing had a good first impression of him.
"And I'm telling you, I don't doubt the Lord's identity at all, because the Lord has a very clear scent. Oh, I can't quite describe it, it's like the smell of grass after the rain with a slightly sweet floral scent. Anyway, it smells very good." Ji Mingqing sniffed with some nostalgia. "This smell is so familiar to me, so I don't have any guard against him at all."
"Is this place so prosperous?" Ji Mingqing said in surprise as he looked at the brightly lit market in front of him, "There weren't so many people when I first came here!"
"Since the second day, the number of people has been increasing. What's more, tomorrow is the final selection, so it's normal to have so many people. Every stall owner will be able to make a lot of money at this time."
Ji Mingqing looked at the bustling market in front of him. It could be said to be a small shopping mall. There was everything as far as the eye could see. He had never even seen this thing before. It must be something unique to the fairy world.
Ji Mingqing felt like a high school graduate who had never left the house during his three years of high school, and only after graduation discovered that people had started using mobile payments outside. He was holding two hundred yuan in cash and found everything new to him.
Ji Mingqing immediately put Xiaowan on his shoulder and said, "Come on, let's go shopping now!"
It was obvious that he had always found shopping boring, but it was different when he went to such a lively market. He wanted to buy all the little gadgets sold in the market and take them home.
For example, the lanterns sold at the stall at the end of the market have different patterns painted on each lantern. Under the effect of the formation, the lanterns will emit different lights and project different images in the sky.
Ji Mingqing casually picked up a phoenix lamp and injected fairy energy into the lamp. The phoenix lamp immediately burst into a dazzling light, and the light even became brighter and brighter. Finally, a vivid image of a phoenix flying in the sky appeared in the sky.
"Wow!" Ji Mingqing exclaimed. The fairyland lanterns could be so colorful. He couldn't help but pick out several lanterns from the lantern shop. The stall owner, who hadn't seen a big customer in a long time, smiled from ear to ear. "My lord, I still have a few lanterns of the Lord's prototype that I haven't displayed yet. Would you like to take a look?"
Ji Mingqing widened his eyes, "This is not good..."
"It's okay." Bai Cangze and the stall owner said in unison. The boss looked at Bai Cangze and said with a smile: "Your fairy beast is very spiritual."
Ji Mingqing knew that his boss was trying to get close to him, but he also felt that what his boss said was very much in his heart: "Thank you very much, but my spirit beast is indeed very spiritual, much stronger than me!"
While chatting with Ji Mingqing, their boss took out the lantern with Bai Cangze's prototype from his storage bag and said, "Let me tell you, this one is the best-selling one. I've already restocked it twice in the past two days."
Ji Mingqing: "..." It turns out that it was not sold in violation of regulations. Ji Mingqing was really worried for a moment.
"Okay, I want two lanterns with the prototype of the Lord." Ji Mingqing paid the money readily, then picked up the lantern with the prototype of Bai Cangze in his hand, and put the others into the storage bag.
He transferred the spiritual energy into the lantern in his hand. The next moment, the tiger wearing armor and wings soared into the sky. Even though there was no sound, one could still see some power from its roar in the air.
Ji Mingqing was very satisfied. Although he had not seen the prototype of the Lord just now, the aura was exactly the same, and the lantern was imitated very vividly.
Just as Ji Mingqing was about to leave, he looked at the lantern in his hand and suddenly an idea struck him: "Boss, can you make this lantern to order?"
The boss glanced at Ji Mingqing and replied with a smile, "Of course, but I have to close the stall and go home tomorrow. Even if I order now, it will be too late to receive the goods."
Ji Mingqing quickly walked back to the stall and explained to the boss, "That's okay. I just wanted to ask, how long does it take you to make one of these lamps?"
The stall owner didn't hide anything and replied frankly, "It took a while to make the first one, after all, I had to start from scratch and there were no examples. But after making one, the rest was easy."
"As long as I cast the spell, I can produce many lanterns that look the same. Then I can draw the formation on each lantern. It won't take long. I can probably make about a hundred a day."
Although Wang Qin said this, he was still hiding something. Judging from his speed, he could easily make a thousand a day.
It's just that he is a bit lazy. If he didn't want to go out, he wouldn't have to rent only the last stall on the street.
"So powerful!" Ji Mingqing was surprised. "Let's leave the mark of the immortal ring together. I have a plan that I want to cooperate with you. After everything here is over, can we contact each other?"
Wang Qin was having a hard time making a choice. He wanted to earn some fairy stones, but he was also afraid that Ji Mingqing would ask him to make lanterns non-stop, and he couldn't stand the tiredness!
As he was hesitating, someone came up to him and said, "I'm selling lanterns here too. Do you want to take a look?"
After hearing this, Wang Qin immediately exchanged the Immortal Ring Seal with Ji Mingqing without hesitation, and promised, "The lanterns I make are more beautiful than those made by other families. If you don't believe me, you can go and compare them. Or, if you want a lantern with a certain pattern, just tell me now and I promise to give it to you tomorrow morning."
Ji Mingqian found it somewhat amusing to see the stall owner's sudden ignition of fighting spirit. He smiled and nodded at Wang Qin, saying, "Don't worry. If I say I'm going to cooperate with you, I will definitely not contact other companies."
Just now, Xiaowan whispered in his ear that this shop's lanterns were the best on the entire street, and he believed Xiaowan's judgment.
"My name is Ji Mingqing. Boss Wang, please remember me so we can get in touch."
This time, Ji Mingqing turned around and really left the stall. After he left, Xiaowan asked curiously, "Why did you keep his immortal ring mark?"
"Didn't I tell you I wanted to open a souvenir shop? I think this lantern would be perfect. I could print your image on it, and then add some fairy energy to it, and it would have a dynamic effect, with you flying in the sky. How adorable."
Even though few people knew what his prototype as a cub looked like, Bai Cangze couldn't help blushing this time.
"Why are you doing this? Aren't you afraid of losing money?"
"Of course I'm not afraid!" Ji Mingqing said confidently, "Remember when we were lining up to touch the tree core, there was that guy standing behind us who kept wanting to touch you..." Ji Mingqing scratched his head, "What was his name?"
"Huang Dingzhi." Xiaowan replied in a deep voice, "Why do you mention him?"
"Of course I have to mention him. He fell in love with you at first sight. There must be many people like him who simply can't resist your charm." The more Ji Mingqing thought about it, the more he felt that what he said made sense: "Let's look around the market to see if there are any new things. Leave a few more bosses' marks and contact them for cooperation in the future."
Bai Cangze felt a little embarrassed by the praise, so he didn't object to Ji Mingqing's plan, "Okay, go ahead."
After hearing what Xiaowan said, Ji Ming laughed and said, "What's the matter with me going or not? We should go together."
Along the way, Ji Mingqing left the fairy ring marks of no less than thirty bosses. When these people heard that Ji Mingqing wanted to cooperate with them, they cooperated very actively. Ji Mingqing did not expect that doing business in the fairy world would be so smooth.
Walking from the end of the market to the beginning, Ji Mingqing finally saw his own stall. At this time, a group of people gathered at the door of his stall. Cui Ding and Xu Yihe were collecting money and delivering goods in an orderly manner. The few people following the two also organized the things on the stall in an orderly manner.
Seeing this, Ji Mingqing also rolled up his sleeves and wanted to step forward to help. As soon as he appeared, several people raised their heads at the same time and shouted happily, "Boss Ji!"
Ji Mingqing looked at them with a smile, "You guys take a break, I'll be fine."
Ji Mingqing and Cui Ding's men kept working, not giving Ji Mingqing any chance to help. "Boss Ji, please stand aside for a while. Come back and play after we're done."
Ji Mingqing: "..."
I didn’t play!
Ji Mingqing saw that he could not help in any way, and thought that the others might have mastered the work in the past six days, so he sat next to him with peace of mind, and enjoyed the plum drink and peach blossom cake that Xu Yi had just handed to him.
"It's you! Ji Mingqing!" Ji Ming heard a familiar shout, but he couldn't remember who this person was for a moment. He looked up in the direction of the voice and saw an angry man walking towards him.
"Ji Mingqing! We agreed that after we touched the tree core, you would accompany me to touch the fairy beast. But you disappeared, and I didn't touch the tree core or the fairy beast. You have to make it up to me!"
The person who came was Huang Dingzhi, who had agreed with Ji Mingqing to go out for a trip that day. After seeing Huang Dingzhi, Ji Mingqing remembered what he had promised that day.
"I'm really sorry, there was a small mistake that day. Do you want to touch the fairy beast? Let's go together now."
"Will going now be the same as before? The previous trip was a normal outing we agreed on. Now you accompanying me is your compensation, and I don't want that kind of compensation now!"
Hearing this, Ji Mingqing frowned. Could this person be trying to scam someone?
As expected, he heard Huang Dingzhi say, "If you want to compensate me, that's fine. Just let me touch your little pill a couple of times."
Huang Dingzhi is so persistent.
Ji Mingqing was moved and rejected him, "Impossible, I haven't touched my little Wan enough, and he doesn't let others touch him."
"You!" Huang Dingzhi saw that his plan had failed again, so he returned to his original nature. He said to Ji Mingqing with great sorrow: "Other people's immortal beasts are allowed to be touched, but yours is not allowed to be touched. Is he your immortal companion?"
"What nonsense are you talking about?" Ji Mingqing felt that Huang Dingzhi was really not very sure about his words, so he quickly asked him to stop talking. "My Xiaowan and I have a relationship that goes beyond that of a couple of immortals. You don't understand at all."
After saying that, Ji Mingqing kissed Xiaowan in front of Huang Dingzhi, then he turned his head and looked at Huang Dingzhi again: "Do you want to go with me to touch the fairy beast?"
"Go! Go! Go!"
After the two made their decision, they walked to the largest fairy beast sales stall. There were about twenty or thirty fairy beast cubs here, and more than ten moving images of fairy beasts were hung next to them.
"We have limited space here, so we can't bring in larger beasts. We can only use images instead," the stall owner explained. "But you two can touch these cubs as much as you want. If you like one, you can take it home."
"Take it away directly? No money?" Ji Mingqing asked curiously.
"Of course not. Just remember to buy some food suitable for the beast when you take it away." The stall owner looked at the two with a smile. "The food for the beast is very particular and expensive. I'm afraid I can't afford it even though I want to."
He actually saw a business trick here. This was not a free gift of the fairy beast. He could guarantee that the accompanying food for the fairy beast would definitely not be cheap.
But the fairy beasts on this stall are really cute. Ji Mingqing's heart almost melted when he looked at these little balls of fur.
He recognized some of the fairy beasts, but he didn't recognize the species of some of them. For example, this little fairy beast had horns on its head, round eyes, and curly hair all over its body. It looked a bit like a sheep but had four furry claws. It was looking at him with its round eyes.
Ji Mingqing's heart was shaking wildly, but he thought of Xiaowan standing on his shoulder, so he didn't dare to act rashly.

Perhaps because he was just born, he couldn't stand very steadily, so he just used his claws to scratch on the table, scratched in the direction of Ji Mingqing, then looked up and stared at Ji Mingqing straight, with tears in his eyes, waiting for Ji Mingqing to raise his hands and hug him.
Ji Mingqing's breathing began to quicken, but he still held on to his bottom line and tugged at Huang Dingzhi's arm, "Go hug him."
Huang Jingzhi was currently stroking the baby with one in her left hand and the other in her right hand, feeling quite unhappy. "Wait a moment, I'll hug you later!"
The four-clawed lamb seemed to understand what the two people said, but he didn't quite understand why the person standing in front of him didn't want to hug him, so he tilted his head in confusion and stuck out his tongue at Ji Ming.
Ji Mingqing “!!!”
He looked at Xiaowan for help, "Xiaowan, can I hug him? Just this once!"
Bai Cangze knew that he shouldn't bother with this little cub, and Ji Mingqing's behavior was already respectful enough to him, so he had no choice but to nod and say understandingly.
"Just this once, and never again."
