Chapter 112 Three's Company
"Oh? It's been a month already! I wonder if Brother Xunri has helped me buy a house and land yet. If he forgot, I'll have completely missed the chance to make a lot of money!" Xi'er exclaimed.
"You silly girl, we're not short of money. Instead of caring about your health, you're concerned about material things!" Bo Yi said.
"I just want to earn more money so that my relatives and friends from the Dust Continent won't be destitute when they ascend here in the future," Xi'er said.
Then Xunri lifted the curtain and came in, smiling as he said, "Miss Bai Xi, don't worry, I have already bought the entire street of shops on Luming Street, the most prosperous street in Zhaixing City, for you."
The shops there charge over fifty high-grade spirit stones per month for a single room, so you'll never have to worry about money again.
"Huh? So much? With the money I gave you, you can't possibly afford it, can you?" Xi'er said.
"Wasn't that just in time for the Zerg army to destroy Green Willow City? There were rumors that Star-Picking City would be the next to be destroyed, so people in Star-Picking City were in a panic and all the shops were sold off at rock-bottom prices," Xun Ri said.
In reality, when he went to help Xi'er buy a house, Zang Yue heard that she wanted to make money, so she hired people to spread rumors that Zhaixing City was about to be destroyed, which led him to buy a shop on the most prosperous street for one million top-grade spirit stones.
However, he would never tell Xi'er any of this. Zang Yue had always been trying to poach their palace master's concubine, and would come over to Xi'er's place whenever he had the chance.
Most importantly, Zang Yue is indeed the person with the best chance of successfully poaching someone from another organization.
His cultivation level was unfathomable, his looks were almost comparable to their palace master's, and most importantly, he was even better at charming women than the palace master!
Xunri is only looking for an opportunity to badmouth Zangyue in front of Xi'er, so how could he possibly say a single good word about him?
He was thinking that he should inform the palace master as soon as possible that Miss Bai Xi had woken up when he felt a gentle breeze coming from behind him.
The next second, Ye Tanji appeared in front of Xi'er.
"Xi'er, you're finally awake! It just so happens that Sang Yuebai sent a message today inviting you to have tea with me at the City Lord's Mansion."
"Enjoying tea? Old Sang certainly has the leisure for this! He was nowhere to be seen when we were killing the bugs, but now that we're safe, he's busy enjoying tea," Xi'er muttered.
“You’re wronging Old Sang. If he weren’t there to guard the Bronze Gate, how could I go to Shuowang City to kill the insects with peace of mind?” Ye Tanji said.
"Well, it seems I misunderstood him," Xi'er said apologetically.
Previously, Sang Yuebai gave her a fan depicting the four seasons, giving her the opportunity to witness the changing seasons in the painting. After an epiphany, she broke through to the second level of the Breaking Heaven Realm.
Otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to successfully repair the spatial barrier above Shuowang City. In fact, she still owes him a huge favor.
“In that case, I will also prepare a gift for him,” Xi’er said.
She grew up surrounded by loved ones, which fostered her generous nature.
However, Sang Yuebai is the lord of a city and an old friend of the Lord of Night Pool Palace, so ordinary items probably wouldn't catch his eye.
Thinking of this, Xi'er decided to give him a unique gift.
Fusheng and Ruomeng are her contracted spirit pets, and their true forms are the Illusory Sacred Butterfly.
As everyone knows, the Fairy Butterfly is best at creating illusions, but what outsiders don't know is that in addition to creating illusions, the Fairy Butterfly can also help people create beautiful dreams.
When Fusheng and Ruomeng survived the Heavenly Tribulation of Transformation, they also developed the supernatural power of dream creation.
This dream-weaving ability can be achieved not only by their own hands, but also by relying on the scales on their wings.
The scales fall off once a month, and then new scales are generated. Xi'er collects these fallen scales and refines them into Dream Balls.
Each Dream Ball can help people create a dream.
Everything in the dream feels real. In this real dream, you can make up for the regrets in your heart and make your missing parts of life complete.
To most people, this "dream-fulfilling ball" seems like a useless trifle, since dreams are all illusions.
However, for those who harbor regrets, the Dream Ball can fill the void in their hearts and fulfill their life's purpose.
Xi'er wanted to give Sang Yuebai this gift because it was based on the four seasons painted fan he had given her.
Strictly speaking, the Four Seasons painted fan is also a kind of alternative dream, since it only exists in paintings.
The difference is that in paintings, one can appreciate beautiful scenery, while people can enter the painting and enjoy real comfort within it.
The Dream Ball tells you from the very beginning that this is a dream, and that you are willing to enter the dream because you are willingly deceiving yourself with illusions.
Hearing that Xi'er was going to give Sang Yuebai a gift, and such a special and unique one at that, Ye Tanji felt incredibly jealous.
In fact, Sang Yuebai did not send any invitation today; he just wanted to take this opportunity to be alone with Xi'er for a while.
Ye Tanji suppressed his heartache and was about to take Xi'er with him.
But then Bo said, "Palace Master, last time City Lord Sang gave my Xi'er a Four Seasons Painting Fan, which helped her break through her cultivation level. As her parent, I haven't thanked her in person yet."
If it's convenient, I'd also like to accompany Xi'er to the City Lord's Mansion today to express my sincere gratitude to City Lord Sang.
Ye Tanji gritted his teeth. He had finally managed to get a chance to be alone with Xi'er, so why was this fake parent getting involved?
He's just an uncle from a prominent family, so why does he have the right to step forward and become Xi'er's parent?
However, he couldn't find a legitimate reason to refute it, so he could only reluctantly agree.
Thus, what started as a duo became a trio.
This time, the Azure Sword Spirit did not conjure a comfortable chair, but instead transformed into a Purple Cloud Fairy Orchid.
Of those present, apart from Ye Tanji, even Xun Ri and Po Xiao had never seen this flower before.
Its petals glow with a deep purple light, and the edges of the petals curl slightly, shimmering with a silvery sheen, like the hem of a fairy's skirt.
The pale golden stamens seemed to have absorbed the essence of the sun and moon, radiating a soft and holy light.
The flowers conjured by the Azure Sword Spirit are not only beautiful in appearance, but also exude a refreshing and elegant fragrance that can make people feel relaxed and happy.
Along the way, the Azure Sword Spirit also thoughtfully told Xi'er the legend of the Purple Cloud Immortal Orchid:
"It is said that the Purple Cloud Immortal Orchid was formed from the immortal energy scattered from the Purple Cloud Palace in the celestial realm, and therefore it is regarded as an auspicious object that can bring good luck and fortune."
Flower language: The flower language of the Purple Fairy Orchid is—mystery and nobility, symbolizing pure love and eternal beauty.
What the Azure Sword Spirit didn't mention was that back then, his master had single-handedly killed three ferocious beasts and returned severely injured in order to pick a bunch of Purple Cloud Immortal Orchids for Xi'er.
"Bicang, how do you, a sword spirit, know so much?" Xi'er asked curiously.
"I have followed my master for over 30,000 years. I dare say that there is no other sword spirit in the world as knowledgeable and erudite as me!" The Azure Sword Spirit was extremely proud.
When Ye Tanji saw the appearance of his sword spirit, his fists hardened.
If it weren't for the fact that the flower language he used was somewhat pleasing to the ear, he would have locked it in his sea of consciousness for a month and wouldn't let it out to roam!
