Chapter 113 Seeing 009 Again
When she ran to her friend Lacey's side, she immediately noticed a pot of flowers that were blooming very brightly.
Its petals are a gradient blue, and the edges of the petals have a faint silver sheen. Even though it was daytime, the two of them could see the silver sheen very clearly.
Moreover, since the two were so close, they could smell a very sweet fragrance, which smelled wonderful. Luna couldn't help but lean closer and take a deep, lingering sniff.
"This fragrance is wonderful, and it looks beautiful too! What kind of flower is this? It looks so unique! And it's even glowing!"
Luna exclaimed in amazement. She wanted to touch the petals, but she was afraid that they were too delicate and she would hurt them, so she only dared to get closer to look at them.
Gu Xinyan was explaining the shop's rules to the people who came in when she turned her head and saw two little girls looking at her flower ornaments. She had made those flowers in her spare time.
She noticed that there was some empty space on the floor next to the glass wall, so she planted a row of flowers there, which made it look very beautiful.
However, she didn't grow just one type of flower, but many different kinds, one of which was a gift from Miler.
The two little girls were looking at the same potted plant that Miler had given them, so he smiled and went up to them to introduce it:
"The flower you are looking at is called Star Blue Flower. It comes from a distant planet, and of course, it is a relatively rare flower."
Moreover, it is said that if two people in love see the star-blue flower turn pink together, it means that they were lovers in both their past and present lives.
"Star Blue Flower..."
Upon hearing this, Luna couldn't help but repeat it as well. So that's its name. It sounds beautiful.
But when she turned around and saw who had just spoken, she immediately felt embarrassed and stammered as she asked.
"Mr. Gu... Mr. Gu, do you... sell these flowers?"
Upon hearing this, Gu Xinyan smiled and shook her head, "This isn't for sale. A friend gave it to me, and it's the only one I have."
However, our store has many other flower varieties. If you're interested, you can check out the shelves over there; we have seeds for every kind of flower."
"Oh? Okay! Thank you, Mr. Gu. We'll go take a look right away."
When Luna heard that the item wasn't for sale, she felt a little disappointed, but she wouldn't take what belonged to someone else.
When she heard Gu Xinyan say that there were many flower seeds over there, her eyes lit up instantly, and she hurriedly pulled her friend Lacey and ran towards the shelf that Gu Xinyan had just pointed to.
Gu Xinyan watched the two girls run off into the distance, then smiled and went to greet the other guests.
Since tomorrow is the sacrificial ceremony, there are quite a few people coming to the sacrificial square. And this two-story building, which suddenly appeared here, naturally attracted more and more people.
As time passed, the sun, which had been hanging high in the sky, gradually began to set in the west. Countless torches were lit around the castle, illuminating the entire city.
The only difference was the long queue of people waiting to enter the shop in the sacrificial square. They were whispering among themselves about the magical shop, and the bright lights illuminated everything around them very clearly.
Gu Xinyan and her three companions were also surprised by the enthusiasm of the people here, who invited their friends and family to their shop. Fortunately, the people who came later knew the shop's rules, so they didn't need to explain them again.
She managed to steal a moment from her busy schedule to write a letter back to Commander Zhang and the others, but since Xiaobai wasn't around, she could only send the letter back via mail.
The reply from the other side is in the system space, and since Xiaobai isn't here, she won't receive it for the time being. Fortunately, they don't have anything else to do right now.
After seeing off the last group of enthusiastic customers, the group finally had time to sit down and rest.
Since arriving here yesterday, I've been on the go without a proper rest, and I've also been preoccupied with other things on my mind.
Having successfully obtained the Time Stone today, and with Xiaobai already seeking assistance, the matter is half resolved, and I can finally get a good night's sleep tonight.
They had originally planned to go to the castle that evening, but there were too many people at the shops, so they declined.
So Atlas changed the date of the banquet to the next day, so that they could have their meal at the castle right after the sacrificial ceremony.

Dimensional Trading Plaza
As soon as Xiaobai came out of the time tunnel, he hung the Time Stone on it.
After all, if it wants to attract the attention of those big shots, it can only do so through special channels. Since it is still a small system, it has no way to directly contact the big shots.
So I could only hang the Time Stone in the quest hall. But as soon as I finished hanging it up, I ran into my friend 009, who was sitting in the trading square with a small stall set up.
After taking a curious look, Xiaobai finally realized that it was indeed 009. It had thought it was seeing things.
But why is this thing setting up a stall here? Wasn't it supposed to be outsmarting its host?
Filled with curiosity, Xiaobai strolled over to 009.
"009, what are you doing here setting up a stall? What are you selling? Why aren't you doing any missions?"
009, who was idly browsing the forum, heard a familiar voice and his eyes lit up instantly. He looked up and, sure enough, it was his long-lost friend. He jumped for joy.
"Oh, it's you, Xiaobai! I heard you've been on missions lately, and I haven't seen you in ages. I never expected to see you today. By the way, come and take a look, I sell all the best stuff here."
009 glanced around furtively, and only when it saw that no one was paying attention to it did it pull Little White aside and whisper:
"I went back to persuade the host a while ago, but the host wouldn't listen, and then accidentally died during the struggle for the throne."
So I was summoned back by the main system, and a few days ago I was reassigned. This time I was bound to a host in a higher dimension.
"I'm setting up this stall because there's no food in that other dimension, so my host asked me to bring some things here to sell. Ideally, we could buy a batch of ingredients to take back. Would you like to take a look? And these are all good stuff!"
Xiao Bai was a little confused when he heard 009's words and didn't react for a moment, but he quickly came to his senses.
What happened to my friend? Has he changed hosts? And in the new dimension, there are no ingredients?
