So she said, "I, I remember."
In her view, this was a good deed that could create great merit, and since it was just a question, she was naturally very willing to ask.
After dinner, Yun Zhourong said goodbye to her family and then hurriedly left with the lotus bowl.
Walking alone in the dark forest, Yun Zhourong was a little scared because the lantern was very dim, so she walked very carefully.
Once they reached a secluded spot, she used soot from the bottom of a pot to dab her face with more soot.
The dirt on her face was intentional, meant to make her look ugly.
When she was at the Earl's residence, in order to make things easier, she always dressed very inconspicuously and walked with her head down to avoid attracting attention.
On the day her family was exiled, her aunt found her immediately and smeared soot on her face. She also carried a lot with her so that she could replenish her soot in time.
He told her that as an exile, being too beautiful would make her an easy target.
She knew her aunt meant well, and she was very obedient, always keeping her little face smeared with waxy yellow and burnt black paint.
As for Lord Snow Demon, we don't know his character yet, so it's best not to reveal his true form for now. What if he turns out to be a lecherous man?
While it's wrong to assume such malice from one's savior, it's always good to be cautious and take precautions.
Sometimes, beauty can be a disaster.
After looking in the mirror again and confirming that he really looked ugly, he held the peace amulet and began to summon.
Because he had agreed on a summoning time with Yun Zhourong, Ji Minxiu didn't change out of his formal attire when he got home, as it was already late.
The well-tailored custom-made suit perfectly accentuated Ji Minxiu's muscular physique, highlighting his broad shoulders, narrow waist, and long legs, making him appear both noble and elegant.
Upon seeing Yun Zhourong, his indifferent eyes softened with warmth, as if they could melt away the frost and snow around him.
Yun Zhourong couldn't resist and was stunned again.
Although the Snow Demon's outfit was strange, it looked perfectly harmonious on him. The lamp in his hand was very bright, and as he stood in the snowy landscape, it seemed as if his whole being was radiating a gentle light, as warm and smooth as jade.
He stepped forward and handed over a small bag. "There's some food in here. It tastes good. Try it. There's also some frostbite cream. Apply it and your feet will heal faster."
"Thank you, Snow Fairy. I appreciate your kind thought."
Yun Zhourong quickly took it, apologized first, and then couldn't help but point at the flashlight and ask, "Lord Snow Demon, what is this? Why is it so bright?"
"This is called a flashlight, it's used for lighting."
After Ji Minxiu finished explaining, he placed the flashlight in Yun Zhourong's hand, "That's right, it'll be more convenient for you to have a flashlight, so this one is for you."
"Thank you, Snow Fairy!"
Yun Zhou was overjoyed, and then, with great excitement, carefully turned on the flashlight.
"Click..."
The moment the light appeared, her breath caught in her throat, and then she looked at Ji Minxiu excitedly, “Lord Snow Demon, it’s lit up…it’s really lit up!”
With this, I won't be too afraid to walk at night anymore.
Meeting her bright, sparkling eyes, Ji Minxiu's heart softened involuntarily, and he nodded, saying, "Yes, is there anything else you need? I'll prepare it for you when I get back."
"Yes, yes, I need salt."
Yun Zhourong quickly explained everything, then thought for a moment and said, "Lord Snow Demon, could you please prepare another set of writing brush, ink, paper, and inkstone for me, so that we can contact each other in the future?"
"Okay, I got it. You'll have to wait an hour..."
At this point, Ji Minxiu paused, then took off his watch and put it on Yun Zhourong.
The warmth of Ji Minxiu's body still lingered on it, causing Yun Zhourong to sway slightly.
"This thing is called a watch, and it's used to tell time."
After putting it on, Ji Minxiu explained, "I'll get you a more suitable style later. Wear mine for now so you can easily tell the time."
"Um...oh, okay..."
Yun Zhourong realized what was happening and nodded repeatedly, only then noticing that the watch was indeed much larger.
She quickly raised her arm slightly to avoid falling.
As a result, the watch tilted, and the dial side slid down.
At this moment, Ji Minxiu felt the safety buckle in his palm start to get hot. In his anxiety, he didn't care about anything else and directly grabbed Yun Zhourong's wrist to straighten the watch face.
He quickly explained, "Look, there are two pointers here with numbers on them. I don't have time to teach you how to recognize the numbers now, but just remember that in one hour, the longer pointer will remain in the same position, but the shorter one will land on the number nine."
"Nine... Is this strange character nine?" Yun Zhourong leaned closer and asked curiously.
“That’s right, this is called Roman numerals, and the value it represents is the same as the number nine you know,” Ji Minxiu nodded.
"Mule... mule and horse numbers... this is quite a peculiar way of naming them..."
Yun Zhourong looked puzzled, not understanding why a mule or horse would be used as a name, but he didn't ask any further questions.
At this moment, Ji Minxiu suddenly noticed that the temperature of the safety buckle in his hand was gradually cooling down.
"By the way, Lady Snow Fairy, I have another request."
At this moment, Yun Zhourong was about to take the lotus bowl from her down jacket when she realized that her hand was being held by Ji Minxiu.
"Ah, sorry!" Ji Minxiu apologized and quickly let go.
But in that instant, a flash of inspiration crossed his mind, but it was too fast for him to grasp.
"It doesn't matter."
Yun Zhourong gently shook her head to indicate that she didn't mind, after all, she was so ugly now that there was really nothing worth scheming for her.
Then he handed over the lotus bowl, saying, "You mentioned before that this kind of bowl is very valuable in China. I wonder if I could exchange it for one hundred taels of silver?"
Ji Minxiu was stunned when he saw it.
Another exquisite lotus bowl!
He had read a lot of information about celadon porcelain in the past two days and knew that it was a rare item even in the Dasheng Dynasty.
Just who is this little girl to have two of them all at once!
"Am I...am I asking for too much?"
Seeing that Ji Minxiu didn't speak, Yun Zhourong thought that she had miscalculated the value, so she quickly changed her words and said, "Then fifty taels... or thirty taels would also be good."
Seeing the little girl's cautious manner, Ji Minxiu chuckled and said, "This bowl of yours is worth at least 500,000 taels of silver to me. A mere 100 taels is really not much at all."
"Huh? It's worth that much?" Yun Zhourong was completely dumbfounded.
Five hundred thousand taels!
Having been the daughter of a noble family for so many years, she had never even touched a hundred taels of silver, let alone five hundred thousand taels.
In her opinion, this was simply an astronomical figure!
“So, if you need anything, you can just tell me. Do you want me to give you some more?” Ji Minxiu said.
"No need, I only need it for emergencies. It's not convenient to have too much money on me right now." Yun Zhourong shook her head.
“Alright, then I’ll prepare one hundred taels for you.” After saying that, Ji Minxiu couldn’t help but ask, “Where did you get this bowl? As far as I know, it’s not easy to get one here.”
