Chapter 151 Thank you so much
Mu Jianjian raised an eyebrow. She looked towards the door at the sound of the voice and saw a woman in a light yellow dress supporting a woman whose eyes were covered with silk. Their domineering manner attracted a lot of attention.
The woman with veils, on the other hand, possessed an elegant demeanor, like a lotus flower that could be admired from afar and was not to be profaned.
At a glance, one can easily tell who is the master and who is the servant.
"Excuse me, sir, 'Ink of Elegance' has already been purchased by these two ladies." The manager smiled and walked towards the two of them. "However, our Neon Garment Pavilion also has other new dresses and accessories. Would you two like to take a look at something else?"
The maid's eyes widened. "We came to the shop earlier saying we wanted to buy these two pieces. Besides, apart from 'Ink of Elegance,' are any other clothes worthy of our Lady Ji's status?"
Mu Jianjian glanced at the smiling steward's fleeting frown, and listened to his explanation that he was not accepting reservations, yet he was still being criticized and ridiculed by the maid. She then turned her gaze to the silent, blindfolded woman.
She certainly knew who the person in front of her, referred to as "Female Ji," was.
Kim Bok-jin.
Born in the area of Jinwu Temple, it is said that the celestial phenomena on the day of her birth were extraordinary, and she was born with purple light. The master of Jinwu Temple predicted that she would be a girl who "leads Jinwu to prosperity" from birth. She was born with innate bone opening and true energy, but the price was that her eyes were dull and her eyesight was very poor, and she could only see things within an arm's length.
The abbot of the Golden Crow Temple adopted her as his goddaughter, keeping her by his side to cultivate together and pray for the people. She was pure, kind, and gentle, and was deeply loved by the people and cultivators. Therefore, she was known as "Golden Crow Ji Nu".
In the original book, Jin Fuzhen is portrayed as two-faced, selfish, and hypocritical. As a typical villainous supporting character in a sadomasochistic romance novel, she deeply loves the male lead, Ye Wuluo. Relying on her high status, she secretly and openly sabotages Sang Wanyue. After her crazy and reckless behavior, she dies at Ye Wuluo's hands.
For example, right now, Kim Bok-jin brought her maid to buy clothes. Because she was late and couldn't buy any, the maid started mocking the manager. If Kim Bok-jin were truly kind, she would have stopped her long ago.
Mu Jianjian guessed that Jin Fuzhen would wait until the maid had almost finished babbling before speaking up in a pretentious manner, like saying, "You can't bully people like this."
The moment her thought crossed her mind, the blindfolded woman opposite her spoke up, urging the maid not to continue.
"It's alright. Even if this one is sold out, there are others. You can't blame anyone else for 'Colorful Ink' being bought; after all, we arrived a step too late." The gentle voice echoed throughout the entire Rainbow Pavilion, as if possessing a magical power that made people feel as if they were bathed in a spring breeze.
Mu Jianjian held Sang Wanyue's hand, inwardly criticizing the other party for being hypocritical.
"These are spatial rings that our Neon Pavilion is gifting to you two. The 'Colorful Ink' is already inside. You two ladies can also choose your favorite accessories and magical artifacts." At this moment, another steward presented each of them with a ring and said respectfully.
The voice was neither too loud nor too soft, but it reached the ears of Kim Bok-jin and her servant.
The maid then noticed two familiar women standing nearby. She opened her mouth in astonishment, "Aren't you the people who were haggling with the vendors on the street just now?!"
They've been so stingy with ten high-grade spirit stones, how could they possibly have the money to buy the prized possession of the Rainbow Pavilion!
Two items still!
The maid's gaze shifted from Mu Jianjian to Sang Wanyue, and she exclaimed in shock, "How come I've run into you again!"
This time, Mu Jianjian raised an eyebrow, tugged at Sang Wanyue's sleeve, and asked with eyes full of gossip, "Has Yueyue met them before?"
“I was on a ship with them in the Black Sea before, and we encountered sirens. I rescued them on the spot.” Sang Wanyue’s gaze was cold, and her gaze swept over the maid, causing the maid to take a step back.
If they were saved, why did the maid look at Yueyue with disdain and anger?
Mu Jianjian tilted her head and heard Sang Wanyue continue, "Jin Fuzhen wanted to stop me from killing the sea monster. She wanted to 'save all living beings' but she didn't have the strength. Later, she lost to me in a competition."
I see.
Even if she changed the plot after transmigrating into the book, the female lead and the female supporting character will still meet due to unforeseen circumstances and have conflicts and disputes...
The fact that she would release a sea monster after it tried to kill her is consistent with Kim Bok-jin's character.
"Yueyue is so amazing."
Mu Jianjian: Makes a fangirl's voice.
"You won unfairly!" The maid pointed at Sang Wanyue and shouted when she saw that the other managers and guests of the Ni Chang Pavilion had turned to look at them. "You are just taking advantage of our kind-hearted Ji Nu's illness. Besides, we can live without you."
Mu Jianjian's fists hardened as she listened. Just as she was about to speak, Sang Wanyue placed her hand on her body. "You were the ones who proposed the competition and the bet, and it was Jin Jin who suggested the 'listening to the wind to determine the location' technique. I won against you like this, but you say it's an 'unfair victory'?"
"You—" Jin Fuzhen interrupted the maid's angry voice, "When are you going to stop making a scene!"
“Miss Ji…” The maid obediently lowered her head.
Kim Bok-jin smiled again and walked towards the two of them. Her eyes were covered by a dark yellow silk ribbon. Without the help of a maid, she walked over the steps and the jewelry stand as if on flat ground and stood in front of the two of them.
"On behalf of my maid, I apologize to you both. She is young, and I hope you will forgive her if she has offended you, especially this young lady." Kim Bok-jin's gentle and delicate voice was like warm sunshine.
She turned to Sang Wanyue and continued, "Thank you for saving my life at sea, Miss. I noticed that you two were short of money when you bought things from the merchants. If you don't mind, please allow me to pay for your expenses at the Rainbow Pavilion with spirit stones."
The other cultivators from the Rainbow Pavilion noticed the commotion and all cast admiring glances at Kim Bok-jin.
Who on the mainland doesn't know that Jinwuji is broad-minded, gentle, and elegant?
Upon meeting her today, I found that Jinwu Ji Nu is indeed as rumored, with an elegant temperament and a kind personality.
Mu Jianjian leaned back strategically, stopping Sang Wanyue who was about to refuse. A perfect fake smile appeared on her face. "Really! Thank you so much. I've heard that the women of Jinwuji are beautiful and kind-hearted. Seeing it today, I can confirm it's true."
It's foolish not to take advantage of a good deal, especially when it's offered to you voluntarily.
Moreover, although Jin Fuzhen is known as the "Golden Crow Maiden", no matter how close she is to the head of the Golden Crow Temple, she is still his adopted daughter. Does she really have the ability to produce so many spirit stones?
The onlookers were dazzled by Mu Jianjian's smile, and they turned their attention to the two women beside her. They found that the two women had extraordinary temperaments and were probably from major sects.
Kim Bok-jin was taken aback. She had only said it casually, but she didn't expect the other party to actually agree!
But things had come to this point, and everyone was watching. She couldn't back down from her position, so she turned to the steward and asked, "How many spirit stones?"
The manager hesitated for a moment, but still said, "Forty thousand high-grade spirit stones."
Forty thousand high-grade spirit stones!
Where would she get so much money?
I'm afraid we can only raise half at most!
Jin Fuzhen clenched her fists at her sides, her heart bleeding, yet she still smiled and asked, maintaining her composure, "I came to Yingzhou in a hurry to attend the grand banquet recently and didn't bring many spirit stones. May I ask if I can buy them on credit here?"
“I’m sorry, Miss, we at Ni Chang Pavilion don’t offer credit…” The manager hesitated for a moment before saying, “Actually, those two ladies have already paid with spirit stones, so you don’t need to give Ni Chang Pavilion any more.”
