"If the Sixth Prince marries the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden, they might have a bunch of little immortals!"
...
Everyone was emotional and expressed their opinions.
Long Qian frowned: "I just mentioned to the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden that I want to marry her."
"However, she did not agree. She said that the gods in Heaven are all monogamous and male gods cannot take concubines."
Upon hearing this, everyone was shocked and immediately erupted into chaos.
Zhang Fuyao was initially very nervous, worried that Long Qian would marry Xu Zhixun as his principal wife.
However, upon hearing Long Qian's words, Zhang Fuyao immediately breathed a sigh of relief:
"Sixth Prince, the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden is a deity, so her requirements are naturally higher than those of mortals."
"None of our Dragon Kingdom's princes meet the requirements of the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden—that they must not take concubines!"
After thinking for a moment, Eunuch Yang advised Long Qian:
"Sixth Prince, don't set your sights too high. Don't dream of marrying a fairy."
"If you really marry a fairy, you might suffer a lot of mistreatment in the future!"
Zhang Fuyao quickly echoed Eunuch Yang's words: "Yes, yes, you are a prince, why do you need to curry favor with Xu Zhixun?"
"Besides, she might not be a real fairy; she could be a fox spirit."
Long Qian remained silent, his dark eyes seeming to be filled with a black storm.
Perhaps everyone is right; Xu Zhixun's background is unclear, and I don't know anything about her.
I shouldn't have been so hasty, and I shouldn't have thought of marrying her as my principal wife.
I should observe her for a while longer, and make a plan only after I've figured out her background...

The next day was Wednesday.
Early in the morning, Xu Zhixun received a call from Bai Shenxing.
Bai Shenxing asked Xu Zhixun if she had broken up with Xiao Muchen.
Just now, Bai Shenxing saw that Xiao Muchen posted a photo of himself and his new girlfriend on his WeChat Moments.
Xu Zhixun was very upset, so she told Bai Shenxing that she and Xiao Muchen had broken up last Sunday.
However, in just two days, Xiao Muchen found a new girlfriend, seamlessly transitioning to a new relationship!
In addition, Xu Zhixun also told Bai Shenxing about Xiao Muchen forcing her to repay the expenses incurred during their relationship.
Bai Shenxing was furious, believing Xiao Muchen to be a scumbag, and gave Xu Zhixun some advice—
A few days ago, Xiao Muchen passed the civil service exam.
Today is the last day of his public announcement period.
If Xu Zhixun has any dirt on Xiao Muchen, she can report him.
After hearing Bai Shenxing's words, Xu Zhixun subconsciously pondered deeply, and then she really thought of Xiao Muchen's weakness!
Xiao Muchen once told Xu Zhixun that when he took the civil service exam, the bell rang after the exam ended, but he continued to answer questions, and the proctor didn't even notice.
Xiao Muchen was very pleased with himself, feeling that he was extremely lucky...
Thinking of this, Xu Zhixun immediately thanked Bai Shenxing and then called the recruitment unit of Xiao Muchen to report the matter.
The staff member said they would verify the matter immediately.
If a candidate continues to answer questions after the bell rings, it will be considered cheating.
If Xiao Muchen really cheated, he will be disqualified from admission.
Xu Zhixun was overjoyed and very happy after hearing what the staff member said.
——————————————
At 3 p.m., Xu Zhixun arrived at the hamster supermarket to take over the store in place of her parents.
By this time, Xu's mother had already replenished all the sold-out items on the shelves.
The supermarket is once again filled with a dazzling array of goods.
Xu Zhixun was very happy and chatted with her parents for a few minutes.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Zhixun's parents left.
Only Xu Zhixun remained in the supermarket.
[Ding!]
[System notification: The portal to another dimension has been opened!]
As the system notification sounded, Long Qian strode into the supermarket.
He is still wearing golden armor and a sword at his waist, exuding a heroic aura.
"Zhi Xun, I'm here to pick up some compressed biscuits," Long Qian said bluntly.
Xu Zhixun was in a good mood and said with a smile, "No problem."
After saying that, she summoned the time-space robot Xiao Le.
When the robot heard that it had to move compressed biscuits again, it said to Xu Zhixun:
“Master, the compressed biscuits in your supermarket are all ordinary compressed biscuits.”
"If you're going to sell compressed biscuits to the Chinese army, I suggest you buy military-grade compressed biscuits next time you order supplies."
Xu Zhixun paused for a moment: "Do you still have military-grade compressed biscuits? I didn't know."
What's the difference between military-grade compressed biscuits and regular compressed biscuits?
The robot answered very seriously:
"Military-grade compressed biscuits are mainly used for military purposes. They are high in energy and nutrition, with added protein and vitamins, providing efficient energy replenishment for the military."
"Ordinary compressed biscuits taste good, but have low nutritional value. They are mainly used for civilian purposes, such as wilderness survival, camping, hiking, etc."
Xu Zhixun found it amusing: "Xiao Le, you're so smart! You even knew to remind me to buy military-grade compressed biscuits!"
The robot's large, sapphire-blue eyes blinked rapidly:
"Thank you for the praise, Master. Could you please give me a five-star review?"
Xu Zhixun laughed heartily: "No problem, where do I give it a five-star review?"
Robot: "On my eye screen."
As soon as the words were spoken, the robot's eyes transformed into a computer-like LCD screen.
On the screen, a picture appeared showing the host rating the robot.
Xu Zhixun used her fingers to operate the robot and gave it a five-star rating.
The robot was overjoyed: "Thank you, Master! You are truly the best master in the world, beautiful inside and out!"
Seeing this, Long Qian, who was standing to the side, suddenly became curious:
"Xiao Le, if Xu Zhixun gives you the lowest rating of one star, what will you do? Will you be punished?"
Robot: "I'll get criticized by my dad, and I don't want to be criticized."
Xu Zhixun was taken aback: "You have a father? How can a robot have a father?"
Robot: "My dad is a scientist; he created me."
Xu Zhixun suddenly realized: "So that's how it is. I think you're very advanced. You can't be a robot from the 21st century, right?"
"Which era's robot are you from?"
Robot: "I am a robot from the 51st century, that is, a robot from three thousand years in the future."
Xu Zhixun: "6666".
Next, the robot moved boxes of compressed biscuits onto a handcart.
Xu Zhixun thought for a moment, then called the wholesaler to inquire about the price of military-grade compressed biscuits.
The wholesaler told Xu Zhixun that a box of military-grade compressed biscuits cost 78 yuan.
Each box contains 20 bags, and each box weighs 10 jin (5 catties).
It has a shelf life of up to four years.
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhixun told the wholesaler to deliver 500 boxes of military-grade compressed biscuits to the Hamster Supermarket at 10 PM tonight.
Immediately afterwards, Xu Zhixun hung up the phone.
She told Long Qian that military-grade compressed biscuits are more expensive than regular compressed biscuits, but they weigh more.
Therefore, to avoid arousing suspicion, she could not sell Long Qian 5,000 boxes of military-grade compressed biscuits, but could only sell him 3,000 boxes.
Long Qian also knew that military-grade compressed biscuits were more likely to arouse suspicion and attract the attention of modern police.
Therefore, he agreed to Xu Zhixun's proposal.
By this time, the robot had already filled the cart with compressed biscuits.
So, Long Qian pushed the shopping cart and walked out of the supermarket.
Xu Zhixun went into the warehouse, changed into an ancient-style gauze dress, and then walked out of the supermarket.
It's a July afternoon, the weather is hot, and the sun is blazing.
There is an open space in the bamboo grove outside the supermarket.
Thousands of soldiers gathered on the open ground, creating a lively scene.
Because Xu Zhixun could provide the Dragon Army with a large amount of food and water, the soldiers set up camp near the supermarket and erected many tents.
Now, the soldiers have lit a campfire and are cooking compressed biscuits, instant noodles, and other foods.
When the soldiers saw Xu Zhixun and Long Qian, they were overjoyed and bowed to them to greet them.
However, Long Qian's expression was rather unpleasant.
He led Xu Zhixun to a secluded spot several hundred meters away, then whispered to her:
"Zhi Xun, I just overheard your conversation with Xiao Le. Was Xiao Le's era three thousand years more advanced than yours?"
Xu Zhixun nodded: "Yes, Xiao Le is a robot from three thousand years in the future. Although it is not human, it may be smarter than me."
Long Qian's expression turned grave: "Is Xiao Le loyal to you? Could it betray you?"
"If it betrays you, the two of us might not be able to deal with it."
Xu Zhixun thought for a moment and said softly, "Xiao Le is a robot. Robots are very loyal to their owners and generally will not betray humans."
"However, if the robot is infected with a virus or develops its own consciousness, it may betray its master."
A cold glint flashed in Long Qian's dark, deep eyes:
"Then you need to be careful and watch out for Xiao Le, lest it betray you and do something detrimental to you."
Xu Zhixun's heart felt like a jumbled mess of emotions:
"I understand. Thank you for reminding me. I don't think Xiao Le would betray me."
Long Qian: "Xiao Le seems to know more than you do."
"You didn't even know there were military-grade compressed biscuits, but he did!"
Xu Zhixun: "What you said makes sense. I will be wary of Xiao Le."
After chatting for a few minutes, Xu Zhixun and Long Qian returned to the supermarket to continue moving compressed biscuits.
As Long Qian pushed the second cart of compressed biscuits outside the supermarket, a soldier suddenly came to report to him:
"Sixth Prince, Marshal Zhang has arrived!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Marshal Zhang, dressed in silver-white armor, strode over:
"This humble general pays respects to the Sixth Prince and the Nine Heavens Mystic Maiden!"
Long Qian was somewhat surprised: "No need for formalities, Marshal Zhang, why did you come in person?"
Marshal Zhang said cheerfully, "This humble general wanted to see the Time-Traveling Supermarket, but I didn't see it!"
Xu Zhixun smiled slightly: "I told you yesterday that the Sixth Prince is the reincarnation of the Purple Star, and only he can see the Time-Space Supermarket."
Marshal Zhang was filled with emotion: "I was just too curious, so I came to take a look."
Xu Zhixun said with a smile, "You've come at the perfect time. I said yesterday that I would send you a box of compressed biscuits."
