Yun Qingluo suddenly sat up from the cushion as if struck by lightning, her eyes wide open, muttering to herself, "Wait, Xiao Yi, I still have merit points!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Yi seemed to be jolted awake, exclaiming in astonishment, "Oh my god, that's right, how could I have forgotten about that!"
Speaking of merit points, we have to go back to when Yun Qingluo learned that she only had six months to live.
At that time, in despair, she entered the Merit Mall, trying to find a glimmer of hope.
However, when she saw that the life-saving pill required a full 100,000 merit points, she was completely dismayed.
Not only her, but Xiao Yi also felt extremely heartbroken.
Since then, the two of them have tacitly chosen to remain silent about the matter and have never mentioned it again.
Later, busy with many things, as time went by, they gradually forgot about the merit points.
Looking back now, it feels like a lifetime ago.
So much has happened without me even realizing it.
Yun Qingluo took a deep breath, trying to appear calm. After adjusting her breathing a few times on the mat, she quickly used her consciousness to enter the mysterious Merit Mall.
When her gaze fell on the merit points, she couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief—it was still that familiar 1800 points.
"Nothing has changed at all..." Yun Qingluo murmured to herself, her eyes fixed on the numbers, a feeling of emotion welling up in her heart.
Despite what the outside world has seen, they have experienced many things, crossing from one continent to another.
But once you enter the Merit Mall, all the noise and strife seem to be left behind, leaving only tranquility and peace.
"Stop lamenting and hurry up and see what you can exchange for," Xiao Yi couldn't help but urge.
Yun Qingluo nodded, composed herself, and began to carefully browse the various items and skills in the Merit Mall.
Each option emitted a faint glow, as if beckoning to her.
But she must choose carefully, because these opportunities are hard-won and valuable resources.
Yun Qingluo slowly walked past one shelf after another, carefully examining the various items displayed on them.
After glancing at them a few times, before she could even comment, Xiao Yi couldn't help but complain, "What are all these things! Beauty pills, slimming pills... and self-heating hot pot? A refrigerator? An air conditioner? What kind of nonsense is this?"
Yun Qingluo was speechless.
Wasn't the Merit Mall supposed to be incredibly powerful?
But these things in front of us are really hard to see how powerful they are.
After a moment of silence, Yun Qingluo swallowed and said cautiously, "Xiao Yi, I have a bold guess."
As if on the same wavelength, Xiao Yi immediately replied, "I have a similar idea."
Yun Qingluo frowned and lowered her voice, saying, "Could it be that this so-called Merit Mall, which claims to control 'life and death,' actually just a place that can drive people to their deaths?"
She nodded slightly in agreement, then added, "And that supposed ability to transcend the 'Three Realms' might just be limited to the ancient, modern, and contemporary periods?"
After saying that, Yun Qingluo and Xiao Yi fell silent, their hearts filled with disappointment.
After a moment of silence, Xiao Yi said softly, "But that Life Pill in the Merit Shop costs as much as 100,000 merit points to exchange for. Using it to resolve a matter of life and death shouldn't be considered a perfunctory gesture, right?"
Yun Qingluo couldn't help but complain, "But what about transcending the Three Realms? Oh dear! Look, there's an airplane over there!"
Xiao Yi looked helpless and replied weakly, "At this critical juncture, how can you still have the mind to make jokes like this?"
At this moment, Yun Qingluo was unusually excited and shouted loudly, "No, Xiao Yi, that really is an airplane!"
"Look down, look down! There are even submarines, computers, cell phones, and even an aircraft carrier!"
Xiao Yi was equally shocked upon seeing this, a hint of hesitation flashing in his eyes: "Could there be modern nuclear weapons in here?"
Upon hearing this, Yun Qingluo immediately began searching, and Xiao Yi joined in.
After working for nearly half an hour, they still couldn't find it.
"It seems there are some restrictions, but not many." Yun Qingluo frowned, then seemed to have come to terms with it.
"Xiao Yi, let's hurry up and redeem this airplane. It only costs 1,500 merit points." Yun Qingluo's eyes were fixed on the small and exquisite airplane model in the lower left corner of the shelf.
"With this plane, we can fly directly home from here, and I can see Qianyue and Zeyan sooner. It should only take less than a day to get home."
Ever since she saw the airplane model, Yun Qingluo's eyes have never left it.
She thought to herself: as long as I have this plane, I can get home as soon as possible to see my two lovely children.
Adding to the ten years she spent in the ancient martial arts training room, when she returns home, she will once again become a healthy and powerful mother, able to protect them properly.
Thinking of these wonderful things, Yun Qingluo couldn't help but smile.
"Flying is such a waste of money," Xiao Yi disagreed.
“Where is it not worthwhile? If we were to rush back at the previous speed, traveling day and night without stopping, it would still take more than a month. This is traveling without any pause.”
Yun Qingluo continued to pester Xiao Yi, saying, "We rushed like this to save a life back then. Now that the life has been saved, we don't need to rush home. Normally, it would take three or four months to get back. By then, it would be next year's New Year."
Xiao Yi felt rather helpless. "One thousand six hundred merit points can be exchanged for a Restoration Pill, so you won't lose half a year of your lifespan."
Yun Qingluo said, "I still think flying is more cost-effective; time is too precious."
We know nothing about the situation on the Sumeru Continent.
Now that they've seen the airplane, Yun Qingluo is determined not to miss it.
"No, you need the Rejuvenation Pill. With this medicine, you can recover your vitality in a month or two," Xiao Yi insisted.
The clouds tilted and refused to fall.
Xiao Yi also disagreed.
The two argued for a long time without reaching a conclusion.
"If we keep arguing, it'll be dark and A-Chen will be back soon." Yun Qingluo lay down on the mat again, her head aching.
Xiao Yi smiled and said, "Perfect, why don't you ask him what he thinks and see if he's willing?"
The clouds are falling.
If Ah Chen wanted to, she would have stopped arguing with Xiao Yi long ago.
"Xiao Yi, you're the best. Just this once, you activate the protection mode. After this, you permanently disable the ancient martial arts training mode, okay?"
Xiao Yi was shocked. "Permanent block means the system doesn't have this function anymore. Are you sure?"
