Chapter 189 The two of them strolled around the Xie family's...
The two of them wandered around the Xie family for a long time. The Xie family was not considered wealthy among aristocratic families, but with the combined accumulation of so many brilliant ancestors, the various small secret realms and trials could almost cover all stages of cultivation.
The elixirs also encompass a wide range of types, from Foundation Building Elixir, Thunder Rhyme Elixir (to help resist lightning tribulations), Dream Concealing Elixir (to resist inner demons), and so on.
Whether it's spiritual awareness, mental techniques, meridians, or spiritual energy, there's nothing you can't learn if you want to.
Xie, dressed in black, replied, “The top five in the All-Region Competition only get a few more pills and more opportunities to train alongside various clan leaders. Afterwards, they’ll be taken to the battlefield. But that’s not important to you at all. You’re the Xie Clan Leader; you can go wherever you want!”
Xie Jiaoyue was quite unaccustomed to her sudden wealth.
Xie Jiaoyue settled down there.
Each generation of clan leader has their own residence, which is not inherited.
Xie Jiaoyue's piece was personally crafted by Xie, who is dressed in black. It inherits the Xie family's simple and unpretentious style, but its interior is rich and well-made, making it completely different from other styles.
It includes everything from rest areas to cultivation areas, and even a small kitchen, although it only contains fasting pills.
The rest area was furnished like a five-star hotel. She had seen it before; many other clan leaders slept on the floor, some even just had a mat, and others practically lived on their swords.
But here there is a bed and a lamp, from large wardrobes to small kettles, and all sorts of arrays are hidden in inconspicuous corners on the floor and walls, some for regulating temperature, some for soundproofing, some for blocking prying eyes, and some even for blocking the heavenly way from probing.
Xie Jiaoyue squatted down and studied it for a while, then discovered in horror that it might be used to dodge heavenly lightning.
Is it a bit too much to spoil a child to allow them to dodge lightning strikes?
She lay on the bed, which looked square and rigid, but once she lay down, she found that it was made of the softest material and exuded wisps of spiritual energy, which could nourish her body simply by lying on it.
Like an old-fashioned but doting parent, always wanting to provide the best for their child. Their seemingly haphazard approach is imbued with deep affection.
After Xie Jiaoyue reassured her friends one by one that she was safe, she began to carefully sort out the events of the day.
She stared at the ceiling inlaid with luminous pearls, the soft, cool light serene and peaceful.
There didn't seem to be much to organize. The Xie clan was so simple that you could see the whole thing at a glance; there were only two people in total. The only question was whether she wanted to be the clan leader.
Of course!
Chu Xingjin can find opportunities everywhere, so why can't she?
She couldn't help but call out the system.
"System, why do I feel like I picked up these resources in such a bizarre way?"
It was as if something that originally belonged to Chu Xingjin was given to her without her having any particular intentions.
This would never have happened before.
Xie Jiaoyue waited for a while but received no response.
What happened?
"System? System? Chu Xingjin's simp?"
"A staunch supporter of Chu Xingjin? A short-sighted little tyrant?"
There was no response.
Xie Jiaoyue sprang out of bed with a somersault and excitedly spun around the room like a happy little top.
She called for about ten more minutes, and after confirming that there was really no response, she covered her mouth and began to scream excitedly.
The system is gone!
She has truly become a rich woman!
She stomped her feet excitedly; heaven knows how much she was looking forward to the system disappearing.
Who would feel good about being the richest person in the country but not being able to spend their money freely?
Who wants to be forced to spend money on a man they don't love every day?
Of course, love is out of the question too.
She silently groaned for a long time before finally calming herself down.
Without even saying goodbye to Xie in black, he rushed away from the Xie clan's territory and randomly found a shop on the street.
It was late at night, and many shops were closed. She randomly picked one that was still lit up and rushed inside.
"Waiter, bring us the best tea!"
The waiter looked bewildered and helpless: "Sir, we...we don't sell tea, but we can give you a pot for free."
Giving gifts is pointless; she has to spend spirit stones today.
You must see the spirit stones go out of your hands with your own eyes, without having to bargain with the system or rack your brains to calculate!
Thinking back to her past, when she bought clothes, she would say it was to enhance Chu Xingjin's image; when she entertained friends, she would say it was to build connections for Chu Xingjin; even when she ate a meal, she would say it was to support Chu Xingjin's harem, and the protagonist couldn't have the reputation of starving the harem to death.
These past events are heartbreaking to hear and bring tears to the eyes of those who witness them.
This time, Xie Jiaoyue didn't make up an excuse. She said happily, "What does your store sell? Bring out your most expensive item!"
The shopkeeper hesitated, "Um, we sell magical artifacts."
The waiter glanced at Xie Jiaoyue's clothes and then at her unfamiliar face. He bent down and whispered in her ear, "We sell those flashy but impractical little trinkets that are expensive and have no practical use other than looking nice."
His eyes were full of worry that the poor little girl would be exploited.
Xie Jiaoyue pointed to her face: "Don't you recognize me? I'm the new patriarch of the Xie clan. I have plenty of spirit stones."
The waiter muttered something as reassuring as he walked away, muttering things like "good advice is useless to a suicidal person" and "this girl is probably really crazy," which made people feel at ease. They thought he was mentally sound.
The waiter still managed to take some, thinking it was something useful at least. He only cut the first leeks, never uprooting them.
They are a pair of pretty little hair accessories, with a neutral style. They are relatively simple and elegant circular shapes, about half the size of a palm, and carved with dragon and phoenix patterns.
"This item was made by the shopkeeper himself. After the blood oath is performed, the dragon and phoenix patterns on it will change daily according to his mood, but not according to the wearer's mood, but according to the mood of the other wearer."
The waiter thought to himself, "These newly arrived immortals in Buzhou Immortal Realm are most easily deceived by scumbags. Using this might reduce the probability of being deceived by 30%."
He really put a lot of thought into it.
Without blinking, Xie Jiaoyue placed a pile of spirit stones on the table: "I'll take them, wrap them up."
The waiter was so angry that his eyebrows shot up. He stuffed the pile of spirit stones back into Xie Jiaoyue's arms, leaving only a few: "What's wrong with you? Don't you ever bargain? Let me tell you, girls like you from out of town are the easiest to be overcharged. Be careful!"
While speaking, he pushed Xie Jiaoyue out, as if the guest were some kind of dirty thing.
A shout came from behind the shop curtains: "Are you pushing customers away again?!"
The waiter pushed Xie Jiaoyue out the door and slammed it shut.
A muffled voice came from inside the door: "How could that be? I just saw that she didn't bring enough spirit stones today, so I told her to bring more tomorrow."
Xie Jiaoyue stood at the door, looking at the spirit stones that were a little less in her womb and the two small hair ornaments in her hand, unable to suppress a smile.
She successfully spent the spirit stone.
Following my own will, without needing to stack up a bunch of armor, I casually spent spirit stones.
She couldn't wait to share her feelings, and before she knew it, she was already in front of a familiar door.
In front of Gongshi Moyu's gate.
She regained some consciousness.
These days, she's been busy with Gongshi Chuo's affairs and the regional competition. Every day when she opens her eyes, everything feels new and exciting.
It seems she forgot to let Gongshi Moyu know she was safe these past two days.
She quickly consulted the psychic mirror, sifting through a pile of messages to see if she had missed any information about Gong Shi Moyu.
Before I even started watching, the door opened.
When Xie Jiaoyue looked up, she saw Gongshi Moyu's face right in front of her.
That handsome face.
Her face flushed instantly, and she couldn't utter a single word she had intended to say. She stammered out a couple of "uh-huhs" and "ahs," making the atmosphere even more awkward.
How embarrassing.
Xie Jiaoyue happened to see the small hair ornament in her hand, and in order to break the awkwardness, she directly stuffed one into Gongshi Moyu's arms.
"Here, take this."
Then she turned and ran away.
I shared with Gongshi Moyu that the pressure I felt was still too great.
In the middle of the night, someone goes to the other person's room and talks about private things, making it seem like she's interested in them.
Xie Jiaoyue ran around the inn and realized that she couldn't give her emotions to anyone.
Only because of Gongshi Moyu, who was also a time traveler, could she better understand what she had gone through.
Moreover, she's already come all this way, and it seems so strange that she'd only give a headdress as a token of her love.
Yes, that's very strange; she needs to explain it.
Thinking this through, Xie Jiaoyue finally convinced herself and happily went back to knock on Gongshi Moyu's door again.
She tried her best to appear natural: "I forgot to mention earlier that I bought the little gift I gave you earlier today as an experiment. You know, I don't have many male friends, and I didn't know who to give it to, so after thinking about it, I could only give it to you."
Gong Shi Moyu smiled and welcomed Xie Jiaoyue into the house. He personally poured tea for Xie Jiaoyue, in which a pill was slowly dissolving.
Xie Jiaoyue took a sip; it was slightly sour and sweet, just the taste she liked. One sip and she felt comfortable all over, her mind relaxing as well.
This stuff seems a bit expensive, but she can pay with spirit stones now.
Gong Shi Moyu said, "This is a return gift."
Xie Jiaoyue nodded, but instead of opening her spirit stone bag, she generously drank from it.
Friendships are about giving and receiving, it's normal.
She completely relaxed, and just like every time she was in front of Gongshi Moyu, the words she couldn't say before flowed out smoothly from the kettle like tea in her hand, spreading throughout the house.
Xie Jiaoyue concluded, "I think I'm quite lucky. Although I have a system, I'm not very smart."
She spoke casually, as if she truly felt that way, as if her journey had been very easy.
Gong Shi Moyu couldn't help but feel sorry for him.
A single sentence encapsulates so much hardship.
Given the existence of the system and the Chosen One like Chu Xingjin, if Xie Jiaoyue were even slightly weak or careless, and Chu Xingjin seized the opportunity, she would likely end up like in the story, having her life drained by Chu Xingjin.
For the furnace cauldron, for the relatively weaker existence, the downward path is a broad highway, and countless voices are tempting them, telling them that the path is easier and can lead to a good life.
I want to work hard myself; I don't want to rely on others—it's too exhausting. It's better to rely on others so I can live a more relaxed life.
Fortunately, Xie Jiaoyue was not tempted at all and always stayed true to herself.
Xie Jiaoyue said resentfully, "Of course I insist! Chu Xingjin doesn't even know what kind of person he is. How could he be worth my money!"
Her gaze was resolute: "His personality is bad enough, but his talent is mediocre at best, and he's not even as hardworking as Gongshi Chuo. He's not even as good-looking as you; he's not even fit to be a pretty face. Why should I spend money on him!"
She blurted out, "If the mission target were you, I'd be willing to spend some spirit stones just for your face."
Xie Jiaoyue realized what she had said only after she finished speaking, so she quickly turned her face away and gulped down the tea.
Gong Shi Moyu suppressed a laugh and asked, "Jiaoyue, what are you drinking?"
Xie Jiaoyue looked down and saw that the tea was empty; she seemed to be performing a silent play.
