Senior Brother, you can't
Xu Ya could no longer bear it: "Senior Brother! You can't say anymore!!"
"Why?" Shi Yuzhen asked.
Xu Ya broke down: "For no reason!! I don't... want dual cultivation either."
Shi Yuzhen's tone carried a hint of regret: "Alright."
Shi Yuzhen stopped holding Xu Ya, but Xu Ya squatted on the ground, holding her head and refusing to get up.
She can no longer face Shi Yuzhen?!
Shi Yuzhen sat next to her, one long leg resting lazily against her chest, the other hand on her knee, waiting for Xu Ya to come to her senses.
Shi Yuzhen didn't quite understand why it was improper for Daoist couples to hug and cuddle together so often, but after experiencing it firsthand, he seemed to understand something. At least the hostility surrounding him dissipated considerably.
Perhaps dual cultivation is indeed a good way to improve one's cultivation level. In this way, Xu Ya can also cultivate with him, which may have miraculous effects. Otherwise, why would Daoist couples be so open about it and even addicted to it?
Unfortunately, Xu Ya refused for some reason, so Shi Yuzhen had to give up the idea for the time being.
“It’s almost dusk,” Shi Yuzhen said. “Aren’t we going back?”
Xu Ya finally raised her mushroom head, remembering that she still had important things to do. Only then did Xu Ya realize that this was the low slope she had climbed up when she wanted to escape Xianze.
Oh dear, I've been murdered by An Jiaze!
But the system inside her head, always eager for drama, chimed in: [Host, why didn't you accept the male lead's invitation for dual cultivation? A man and a woman working together makes the work easier, and we'll achieve our goal much faster.]
"You better not let me see your true form, or I'll cripple you..."
Xu Ya reluctantly got up, trying to keep her distance from Shi Yuzhen.
But Shi Yuzhen grabbed Xu Ya's arm, which was hidden in her sleeve, and hugged Mo Jian.
Driving the ink sword, the two quickly arrived at the immortal realm.
As dusk approached, the two returned to the shop.
The aunt noticed the unusual atmosphere between the two, and seeing their slightly swollen, flushed lips, she understood everything.
Ah-hsi was already sullen, but when she saw Xu-ya's fleeting joy, her mood was immediately extinguished by the people behind her sister.
Why is Shi Yuzhen always haunting me?! Ahhh!!
The two were standing properly, but the moment Ah Xi's dark thoughts came out, it seemed that the hateful high-level cultivator sensed them. He even reached out and pulled Xu Ya, who had separated from him by a little distance, back into his arms.
Xu Ya's ears turned blood red, and her cheek bumped into Shi Yuzhen's chest, but she didn't say anything.
Seeing this, Ah-Xi gritted her teeth and clenched her fists in anger.
Soon, some cultivators arrived at the back door of the shop according to the designated location. As Xu Ya expected, the proportion of low-level cultivators was quite high.
She was initially a little worried that communicating with the monks alone might lead to an unpleasant situation.
But now, the male lead is sitting very close to Xu Ya, like a giant Buddha.
She just hoped the monks wouldn't go around spreading rumors!
But her illusions were quickly shattered. Xu Ya noticed a cryptic expression on the faces of the cultivators who came to negotiate. She couldn't help but rub her forehead, realizing that the rumor might never be debunked.
Aren't the cultivators shocked? This is absolutely shocking!
The post from the daytime disappeared without a trace before it had even been published for a moment.
If the cultivators didn't understand the workings of the Yunmeng Immortal Marsh post, they would have suspected it was just a joke.
The cultivators were filled with trepidation when they came to Aya's Fried Chicken Shop. They really needed this shortcut to find a cultivation partner.
If a long-term partnership can be established with the shop, the pressure of survival in Yunmeng Immortal Marsh will be greatly reduced.
When the cultivators arrived at the designated location with trepidation, they saw Senior Brother Shi, who was very close to Xu Ya.
I'm filled with nothing but sincere admiration! Boss, you're amazing! How did you manage to have such a subtle relationship with these two powerful cultivators?!
Since Aya's Fried Chicken Shop opened, every time the cultivators come to buy fried chicken, they have gained a completely new understanding of its owner, Xu Ya.
In their hearts, Xu Ya had become a benchmark for low-level cultivators. Who says a good-for-nothing can't achieve something great? Xu Ya's fried chicken is incredibly delicious!! The shop manager is also cute and very humble in his dealings with others…
Although the post was sent by a high-level cultivator, it was actually commissioned by Xu Ya, a semi-mortal with almost no spiritual power. Putting aside their relationship for now, the people that the post could attract were exactly what Xu Ya had envisioned.
This post was destined to offer relatively low rewards, so it didn't attract many mid- to high-level cultivators.
Many cultivators came to discuss the matter, including some who wanted to take advantage of Xu Ya, a young girl.
With such a formidable figure as Shi Yuzhen sitting beside them, most of the cultivators nodded vigorously at Xu Ya's suggestion, even if they seemed hesitant to speak, and the process went exceptionally smoothly.
She had been thinking about her fried chicken delivery plan for a long time, and in the past few months she had inquired about the price of those kinds of message boards.
Xu Ya has accumulated more savings and can now buy a small one to place at the entrance of her shop, so that it can attract the messages gathered by cultivators from all directions using their spiritual energy.
The operating mechanism of this spirit board is not much different from that of the spirit-finding stone in Yunmeng Immortal Marsh.
The cultivators only need to inject a tiny bit of spiritual energy into the spirit tablet to ensure accuracy, and soon the message they want to convey to the other party will appear.
When Xu Ya first learned about this spirit board, she thought it could be used as a simple takeout order receiver in the shop.
Moreover, such a spirit tablet does not require Xu Ya's spiritual energy; cultivators only need to inject, modify, or erase it themselves.
Although Xu Ya's spiritual energy is currently pitifully small.
After mentally rehearsing the usage scenarios countless times, Xu Ya felt very confident.
The next step is to accurately calculate the compensation and the monks' willingness to travel, so that the food delivery business can proceed smoothly.
We also need to consider the vehicles used by cultivators. For example, sword cultivators are generally faster than other modes of transportation.
This is similar to the "Platinum Riders" on Meituan and Ele.me, so their commission is naturally higher, depending on how urgently the customer needs the food.
Xu Ya recorded the basic information of the cultivators one by one, and told them that they only needed to look at the messages on the spirit board to accept orders within the specified time.
The cultivators expressed their understanding, and those who didn't understand forced themselves to understand by looking at Shi Yuzhen's expression.
Next, they advertised "Aya Fried Chicken Shop's" newly developed delivery service on the post.
Should we just go all out and ask the male lead to help us advertise?
As expected of a high-level cultivator, Shi Yuzhen possessed first-rate comprehension skills. After listening to Xu Ya's conversation with the cultivators, she immediately understood what Xu Ya wanted to know.
He casually rested his chin on his hand, glancing at Xu Ya's profile, seemingly in a good mood: "Junior Sister, I'll help you post this."
This saved Xu Ya the trouble of explaining.
Shi Yuzhen drafted the invitation and casually waved it.
An even more significant post appeared in Yunmeng Xianze. The reason was simple: Aya Fried Chicken Shop was unbeatable. Following An Jiaze's post, Shi Yuzhen also helped post!
"Aya Fried Chicken Shop is launching its delivery service. Orders can be placed one day in advance by injecting spiritual energy and location information into the spiritual board in front of Aya Fried Chicken Shop. The cooperating cultivators will then accept and deliver the orders immediately. — Shi Yuzhen."
After the initial surprise, the cultivators couldn't help but admire Xu Ya's ingenuity; she was incredibly clever!
This way, not only can lower-level cultivators receive fried chicken as a reward, but higher-level cultivators also don't want to waste time queuing in front of the crowded shops every time.
Although the effects are remarkable, queuing is indeed a huge waste of time, usually taking an hour for a round trip.
By developing a "delivery service," cultivators only need to pay the extra fee for running errands to enjoy fried chicken delivered right to their door. Most cultivators thought Aya's Fried Chicken Shop's arrangement was truly ingenious. Why hadn't they thought of that before?
I couldn't help but feel a renewed fondness for Aya's Fried Chicken Shop.
After arranging everything, Xu Yaxing excitedly carried back the spirit tablet she had long coveted from the Immortal Market.
Shi Yuzhen followed not far away, watching her excited face.
Xu Ya said, "Senior Brother, could you try leaving a message on the spirit board?"
Upon hearing this, Shi Yuzhen made a hand seal and cast a spell. In no time, golden light flashed on the spirit board, forming a string of characters.
Xu Ya was even more excited; this was truly a wonderful thing!
As night fell, Xu Ya, A Xi, and their aunt prepared the goods for the next day. Xu Ya and A Xi then used their cleansing techniques to wash up and go to sleep.
But while her aunt had already gone home with a smile, Shi Yuzhen remained seated there, showing no intention of leaving.
High-level cultivators meditate to concentrate their essence, energy, and spirit; even a slight deviation can cause them to lose their breath. Xu Ya knew the key to this and didn't want to disturb them.
Ah-Xi was too busy all day to be angry at Shi Yu-Zhen for refusing to leave. She angrily climbed into bed, and soon her breathing became even.
The silence was unusual, and Xu Ya couldn't help but start to overthink. Thinking back to what had happened that morning, she couldn't help but wonder if the male lead had some kind of misunderstanding.
But she was really too embarrassed to ask, afraid that the male lead might say something outrageous and scare her!
"You want to increase your cultivation level, right? We can also cultivate together..."
Ahhhhhh—
How did things develop like this?!
How terrifying! She needs to quickly stuff the male lead's mouth with fried chicken so he can become the number one cultivator in the world, and then she really needs to hurry back to the modern world! She really can't stay in this cultivation world any longer!
Xu Ya propped her head up and reviewed all her actions after regaining her memories. She tried hard to figure out which move she made that led to the current situation.
Wasn't she just feeding Shi Yuzhen regularly like a little brother? Would Shi Yuzhen, as the male protagonist of the novel, just casually take a liking to a little brother?
A flash of inspiration struck her; she suddenly remembered that there were certain things the system strictly forbade her to say.
For example, at the very beginning, when Xu Ya wanted to tell the male protagonist that Xu Shi was the villain, she was met with a stern warning from the system.
What was the warning from back then?
"Spoilers for characters in the book are prohibited! Your inappropriate comment has been blocked! Please do not attempt this again! The consequences of causing text corruption are unimaginable!!"
Was the erroneous remarks simply censored? Based on Xu Ya's many years of experience reading novels, she strongly suspects that the system definitely fixed the original plot, because "the text cannot be corrupted."
Wouldn't doing things that defy common sense also cause the text to break down?
Why is Shi Yuzhen so confident in her belief that she likes him?
Xu Ya fell into thought again, and suddenly remembered the day when she was falsely accused of stealing by her senior brother Shi Xiu. There was a sentence she said that was automatically censored by the system.
She was truly on the verge of a breakdown that day. After she recklessly revealed the truth, Shi Yuzhen's expression suddenly became subtle...
Could it be?!
