Let's appease our system spirit first before worrying about anything else.
"It's just a piece of wood, isn't it? You know I inherited my skills from Jumang, specializing in wood and life. If there's any wood-type treasure that suits me, I definitely won't hesitate to use it. Once I use something, I can't give it back. How about this, I'll personally offer something in exchange for this piece of wood, is that acceptable?"
"No, you can't." Lin Lanlan refused.
"Why not? When I transmigrated to do missions before, I took so many things from my space to subsidize the transactions. Did you ever say you'd give them back to me? You still taxed anything traded using my items. Did I nitpick? Now, I only used a piece of wood, but you're still making a fuss. Fine, let's settle this transaction one by one and see who loses out. And last time, you embezzled the source energy given by the Beast God Plane. Did I hold that against you?"
If Lin Lanlan wasn't afraid to pay taxes, that was a rule from her time travel, and she was simply following the rules.
Regardless of who provided the initial capital, all items obtained through interdimensional trading are subject to taxation.
But when it came to the matter of her embezzling the original source, she felt guilty and immediately dared not speak.
Seeing that her system remained silent, Lin Qianqian immediately pressed her advantage.
She lowered her voice and spoke gently, "It was wrong of me to use that wood without telling you. How about this, I'll give you some extra items to compensate you, so that you and the mall won't suffer any losses."
He then took out a spatial ring and handed it to Lin Lanlan.
"I've put a lot of spirit stones and immortal crystals in here, along with some other things. You decide how much to give to the mall system, and the rest is yours. You're a system with a physical body now, so you need to have some of your own private stash."
These words were so beautiful and thoughtful that they moved Lin Lanlan to tears.
The spatial ring that Lin Qianqian gave her was a plain silver-white ring that was neither gold nor jade, and it was not inlaid with any gemstones.
After Lin Lanlan recognized it as her owner, she wore it on her wrist as a bracelet.
She was genuinely happy; this was the first personal item she owned.
Although there is space in the system, it is not hers.
She cherished the spatial ring very much, touching it repeatedly with her other hand.
Lin Qianqian and Yun Ze exchanged a glance and both secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
They finally got through this hurdle. The two held hands and said to Lin Lanlan, "Let's go back to the mall first. Everyone must be getting impatient."
Indeed, everyone was getting impatient, having not seen Lin Qianqian for several months.
He appeared briefly and then vanished again, followed by Yunze, who was guarding the cashier.
Then, Lanlan, the system that couldn't stray too far from Lin Qianqian, flapped her wings twice and disappeared.
This made everyone think something had happened, and they were all very anxious.
When Lin Qianqian and Yun Ze returned to the mall, the other employees had already gathered on the first floor.
As soon as they saw Lin Qianqian return, they immediately surrounded her.
"Qianqian, you've emerged from seclusion?"
"You ran out as soon as you came out of customs, did something happen?"
Seeing the care and concern shown to her by others, Lin Qianqian felt a warmth in her heart.
"It's alright, nothing happened. I just went into seclusion for a while. I thought there would be a tribulation lightning after advancing to a higher level, so I went out to try and undergo the tribulation. I didn't expect there was no tribulation lightning for advancement in the Beast World, so I came back."
Lin Qianqian didn't tell them everything, so as not to make them worry or overthink.
Everyone accepted this reason. After exchanging a few pleasantries, they went about their own business.
However, Luo Zexuan and Zhang Laodao still reminded her, "In the future, you should explain to us before you go into seclusion, otherwise everyone will worry."
They didn't blame Lin Qianqian; they were just too worried.
"Yes, this happened suddenly this time, it won't happen again next time."
She knew she had done something wrong this time, and quickly promised it wouldn't happen again.
After saying that, he made another excuse, pulled Yunze to the fifteenth floor, and then went straight into the space.
Yunze sensed something was wrong as soon as he entered the Cloud Void Realm.
"What's wrong with the Cloud Void Realm? The spiritual energy seems..."
“It seems much thinner, right?” she asked first.
"It's become much thinner. What happened?"
"Yunze, let me tell you..." Lin Qianqian first told him about how her cultivation level had greatly increased after absorbing that magical wood.
Then, pouting, she complained that by elevating her cultivation level, she had absorbed a lot of spiritual energy from the Cloud Void Realm, causing a decrease in the spiritual energy of the space.
"To prevent the imbalance of spiritual energy in the space, several spirit stone veins were destroyed to replenish the spiritual energy."
She was truly heartbroken. The spiritual energy in the Cloud Void Realm was so abundant that ordinary advancements wouldn't require that much spiritual energy, but she directly condensed a divine spark, which caused the space to suffer!
"Ah...it hurts so much. I don't know when my Cloud Void Realm will recover. My spirit stone mine...that's so many spirit stones! Although the spirit veins are still there, when will the mine regenerate!"
Yunze looked at Lin Qianqian, this money-grubber, with amusement, seeing her so heartbroken she was practically rolling on the floor.
So he said, "How about we move a few spirit stone mountains from my Primordial Realm to make up for your losses?"
Upon hearing this, Lin Qianqian's heartache abruptly ceased. After considering it for a few seconds, she readily agreed.
"Alright, move a few. Anyway, you can keep assimilating spirit stone mountains."
Yunze patted Lin Qianqian's head and saw her smile again, which made him feel a little better.
So he added, "Bring over another Immortal Crystal Mountain."
"Really? Didn't you say that immortal crystals and breathing soil, which are at the level of immortals and gods, are relatively slow to assimilate? You're willing to give them to me?"
"Because my strength is insufficient, I cannot yet assimilate heaven-defying items like the Five Elements Origin. However, divine items like Immortal Crystals and Breath Soil are just slower to assimilate, not impossible. And there's more!"
At this point, Yunze paused, his expression turning serious.
Lin Qianqian thought he was about to say something important, so she became more serious and listened attentively to what he was going to say next.
"And also, whatever you want, I'm willing to give it to you! You don't need to doubt it."
"Huh, that's it? I didn't suspect anything." Lin Qianqian was puzzled. What did she suspect?
Oh, she had said something inappropriate earlier, so she quickly changed the subject.
"Let's hurry up and move the spirit stone mountains. Without a few spirit stone mountains and spirit stone mines piled up in the space, I always feel like a poor wretch and have no sense of security."
"Okay, let's start moving!"
Before they started moving the spiritual mines from the spiritual mountain, Lin Qianqian thought it would be a huge commotion, requiring her to use great magical power to move mountains and overturn seas, causing an earth-shattering event!
In the end, with just one move—a grab and a release—it was all done! It almost made her jaw drop!
Yunze and Lin Qianqian stood at the entrance of Yunqian Residence. Yunze gently gestured towards the several spirit stone mines and one immortal crystal mine in the void.
The mines drew closer and closer to them, growing smaller and smaller until they transformed into a ball of light that Yunze caught in his hand and gently held.
Then the two arrived at the Cloud Void Realm. Yun Ze raised his hand and placed several orbs of light in the location designated by Lin Qianqian.
The light orbs grew rapidly upon contact with the ground, transforming into a mountain of spirit stones and a mountain of immortal crystals within moments.
Looking at the spirit stones and immortal crystals that gave her a great sense of security, Lin Qianqian turned to look at Yun Ze and felt that he was like an ATM, no, a money printing machine!
