"This is so interesting!"
After the bonfire party ended, on the way back, Gingerbread said with lingering enthusiasm.
Fenjue quietly stayed by her side.
"Junior brother, once you've cured your Blood Silkworm Gu, let's go back to Immortal Jade Peak and have a bonfire party."
"I'll invite my eldest sister, second brother, Peacock, Sister Su, Li Dapu, and Elder Huang to come dance and drink together. I won't invite Master; he's so vain, he'll definitely say, 'What kind of behavior is this, Xiaobing? It's utterly indecent!'"
The girl's cheeks glowed with a luminous hue under the moonlight, her pink lips smiled, revealing a set of small white teeth, and her almond-shaped eyes sparkled as she counted people on her fingers.
He looked up at the night sky.
She felt that even the stars couldn't compare to the beauty in her eyes.
"Hey? Xiao Jue, are you even listening to me?"
Gingerbread stood on tiptoe and waved vigorously in front of him.
"Yeah, I'm listening."
Fen Jue was slightly taken aback, then suddenly came to his senses and unexpectedly met her eyes.
"What are you listening to? Let me ask you, how many names did I just mention?"
Gingerbread deliberately caused trouble by asking a question on the spot.
Cicadas were chirping in the distance.
The boy moved his lips, his ears continuing to turn red.
He really didn't listen.
strangeness.
It feels like after being kicked down by the God, not only did his face turn into a teenager's, but his skin also became thinner.
"Hmph, I caught you! How dare you daydream while your senior sister is talking? Be careful, or I'll punish you!" She was like a cat with its fur standing on end, stretching out her claws and baring her teeth at him.
Fen Jue's eyes curved into a smile, the corners of his mouth turned up, and he asked in a tender voice, "What punishment will you give me?"
He himself didn't realize that the tone of his voice when he spoke to Gingerbread was completely different from that of everyone else.
"Punishment—"
Gingerbread stared at his stunningly handsome face, her cheeks inexplicably and uncontrollably growing hotter and hotter.
"Then..."
"I'll... punish you by making you give me another 100,000 spirit stones!"
Gingerbread asked for an exorbitant price, trying to scare Fen Jue, but to everyone's surprise, the young man actually handed over 100,000 spirit stones without saying a word.
"One hundred thousand." Fen Jue chuckled leisurely. "Luckily, I have plenty of money, so I'm not afraid of being punished by my senior sister."
I lost it.
Those despicable rich people.
Seeing the money, her face flushed, and she happily ran back to the treehouse with the spirit stones in her arms. Excitedly, she opened her storage bag, and a mountain of spirit stones spilled out.
So cool, so cool!
Indeed, whether in modern times or the cultivation world, only sudden wealth brings peace of mind.
I heard the sound of burning footsteps behind me.
Gingerbread pounced on the pile of spirit stones, grinning as it warned, "Don't you dare go back!"
Seeing her greedy look, Fenjue couldn't help but chuckle.
"You like money that much?" He raised an eyebrow slightly and let out a low laugh.
"nonsense!"
Gingerbread lay on top of the pile of spirit stones, pretending to swim and amusing himself, "Who in this world doesn't like money?"
"If someone really doesn't like it, you can ask them to give it to me; I absolutely love it!"
He closed his eyes and sniffed the smell of money.
Fen Jue stood at the door, pursed his lips, and finally couldn't hold back, letting out a joyful laugh.
"You're laughing at me!"
Gingerbread lifted its head from the pile of spirit stones.
"It seems Junior Brother doesn't like spirit stones, so why don't you give me all your money?"
The boy cleared his throat, his gaze sweeping over her bright eyes, clearly harboring wicked intentions.
Even if you know.
He quickly replied, "Okay."
Gingerbread: "?"
Is he alright? Did the Blood Silkworm Gu damage his brain?
Seeing Gingerbread's wide-eyed, dumbfounded expression after she froze, he couldn't help but smile and took off the storage ring from his ring finger.
"for you."
"Are you... really serious?"
Gingerbread swallowed hard, scanning the storage ring with his spiritual sense. "Junior brother, you've been hiding it quite well."
The burning of her astonishing wealth startled her.
The ring fell down and rolled into a corner.
Gingerbread quickly picked it up, wiped it clean like a treasure, and admired it in her hand for a while.
Not long after, he returned the ring to Fenjue.
"Here, take it back."
"Hmm?" He raised an eyebrow, looking puzzled.
"I want to earn this much money myself, I don't need yours, and I believe I can earn even more." Her eyes were reluctant, but her small hand was firmly held out in the air.
Okay.
She's still a principled little money-lover.
When Fen Jue retrieved the ring, he couldn't help but laugh when he saw her wincing in pain.
His storage ring contained enough wealth to support a massive sect like the Sword Sect.
The little swindler loves money, but isn't greedy—what a rare and admirable quality.
Gingerbread turned around and slapped her hand hard, her heart breaking: "So arrogant, so arrogant! All my gold and silver are gone now, sob sob..."
...
The nights in southern Xinjiang are exceptionally quiet.
The treehouse is not very large.
Gingerbread slept on the left side, while Burning Demon lay on the right.
There was only one person's distance between them.
Um.....
She suffers from insomnia.
Previously, the closest distance was when Burning Absolute resided in the Sea of Consciousness.
And you can't see the real person.
Now, as the two lay side by side, the word "ambiguous" suddenly popped into her mind.
Why this word?
She closed her eyes tightly.
The rustling sound of the summer breeze outside the treehouse, the cicadas moving to a different spot to continue their chirping, and even the ripples of the stream not far from the treehouse could reach her ears.
The auditory perception is amplified more than tenfold.
It's all Fen Jue's fault for not speaking!
With the silent treehouse as a contrast, only the faintest sounds outside could reach Gingerbread's ears.
