Translator: Simple MTL Editor: Simple MTL
After Xun Yumo finished speaking, she patted her head in gratification and took out her magic treasure. She transformed into a streak of light and flew into the sky, flying towards the inner part of the Grand Moon Sect.
Xun Yumo’s entire body was trembling in excitement. She couldn’t wait any longer.
Seeing that her senior sister’s streak of light had disappeared into the distance, the young girl finally came back to her senses.
“What happened to Senior Sister? Did she suffer some kind of shock? What did she mean?”
The young girl’s face was full of confusion and puzzlement. She muttered in puzzlement, “Aren’t those clay figurines just made to look better? How is it related to my cultivation? Did Senior Sister Yu have some problems with her cultivation?”
——————————
“Mr. Liu, is it still the same three things today?”
Liu Changgong had just arrived at the entrance of the tavern in the market city when the friendly-looking shopkeeper dressed in satin immediately came out to greet him.
Liu Changgong smiled when he saw the shopkeeper. “Yes, the same three is fine!”
“Alright, please take a seat first!”
The shopkeeper immediately greeted the waiter in the tavern. “Two taels of cooked beef, half a roast chicken, and a pot of bamboo leaf green!”
After the shopkeeper instructed the waiter, he turned to Liu Changgong and said with a smile, “It seems that Mr. Liu’s business is good today!”
Liu Changgong said with a faint smile, “Today is the opening day. I sold a few gadgets…”
When Yu Linglong bought the clay figurine for her junior sister, she directly paid a piece of gold ingot that was seven to eight taels in weight. It was enough for Liu Changgong, who lived alone as a mortal, to live for a long time.
“Shopkeeper Sun, business has been good these few days! I’ve seen it a few times, and it’s full.”
Liu Changgong glanced at the inside of the tavern and saw that it was full, and there were many cultivators eating inside.
Shopkeeper Sun was also somewhat proud, he said with a smile, “Isn’t it thanks to the fortune of the Grand Moon Sect’s Grandmaster? The Grand Moon Sect’s Nascent Soul Grandmaster held a thousand-year-old birthday, and many people from our Great Xia came to congratulate him. Otherwise, there wouldn’t be so many guests…”
It turned out that the Grand Moon Sect’s Nascent Soul Grandmaster was celebrating his thousand-year-old birthday.
Liu Changgong finally knew the reason why the Grand Moon Mountain was so lively these days.
As far as he knew, Nascent Soul realm cultivators were as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns in Great Xia, and were quite rare.
It was no wonder that such a big shot cultivator would attract so many cultivators to celebrate his thousand-year-old birthday.
The food Liu Changgong ordered didn’t need to be made on the spot. It was quickly prepared, packaged in an oil paper bag, and casually weighed.
Sure enough, as expected, each of them had more weight than what he ordered.
Before he left, the shopkeeper even politely sent him to the door. He even said politely, “Mr. Liu, please take care. You are welcome to come again next time!”
Why was this shopkeeper so polite to the owner of a small shop like him?
One look at the tavern’s signboard and one could tell that the ‘Yinshan Tavern’ signboard was written by Liu Changgong. It was not only this tavern, but many mortal shops in the market city at the foot of Mount Taiyin were all written by Liu Changgong.
The main reason was that Liu Changgong’s calligraphy was beautiful, generous, and majestic. Even some people who did not know much about calligraphy found it pleasing to the eye.
In addition, Liu Changgong was usually kind to people and often helped the poor mortals around him. Therefore, his reputation in this Yinshan Market City was very high.
Liu Changgong slowly walked to the door of his house with roast chicken and beef in his hand. When he passed by a tailor shop, he suddenly saw a group of people surrounding the door and talking about something. It was very lively.
“This white fox’s skin is really good-looking.”
“I’m afraid it’s going to turn into a spirit soon, right? Look at the look in its eyes, there’s a spirit in them!”
“Hehe, will it be caught if it turns into a spirit?”
Liu Changgong came closer to take a look. It turned out that a hunter had entered the mountain and caught a little fox, ready to sell it to the tailor shop. However, the price had not been agreed on yet, and they were bargaining.
Liu Changgong looked down and saw a little fox lying in an iron cage. Its entire body was snow-white, and there was not a single strand of multicolored fur on it. Its eyes were red like copper, like a high-quality red crystal. It was looking at him pitifully. It was really adorable.
When Liu Changgong saw this white fox, he felt pity for it. He just happened to think that he was always alone and could just buy it, so he could not help but say, “Why don’t you sell this fox to me? How much will you sell it for?”
The hunter who was bargaining with the tailor shop saw that it was Liu Changgong and he seemed to be very interested in the little fox, he immediately said, “Since it’s Mr. Liu who wants to buy it, I’ll give it to you. Last time, it was thanks to Mr. Liu’s help that I was able to buy the medicine with money. Otherwise, my child would be in danger if he fell ill.”
The tailor shop manager beside him also said, “If it’s Mr. Liu who wants it, then I won’t argue with you.”
Liu Changgong shook his head slightly and said with a faint smile, “Business is business. Money and goods are settled. This is the way of longevity.”
After saying that, he took out a few pieces of silver from his sleeve and stuffed them into the hunter’s hand. Then, he took the iron cage and left without waiting for the hunter to refuse.
The hunter held the silver and wanted to say something, but he stopped himself. Then, he sighed and looked at Liu Changgong’s back as he left. He sighed and said, “Mr. Liu looks like an immortal and has a noble spirit. He has more immortal qi than some cultivators. Why can’t he cultivate?”
The people around him also looked at Liu Changgong’s back and echoed, “You’re right. Mr. Liu is such a good person! God is blind!”
..
Immortal’s Destiny Shop…
Su Yue looked at her temporary new home curiously and heaved a heavy sigh of relief in her heart.
She had avoided a fatal disaster!
She, Su Yue, was the daughter of the majestic Demon Emperor. If she were to be killed by the butcher, it would be the biggest joke in the world!
“It’s okay. Come over. In the future, don’t run around. Otherwise, you’ll be captured again.”
A gentle voice suddenly sounded in Su Yue’s ears. Then, she felt two warm arms carrying her out of the cage and gently placing her on the table.
“Is this my current… Master?”
Su Yue saw the handsome and elegant young man in front of her, and her mood was quite chaotic.
On one hand, she was grateful that the other party had saved her from the hands of the butcher. On the other hand, she was also a little resentful that the dignified daughter of the Demon Emperor had become a mortal’s pet.
She, the dignified daughter of the Demon Emperor, had actually been treated as a pet? This was simply a humiliation.
However, when she looked at this mortal, his looks were rather outstanding. Moreover, there was a special scent on his body that made her unable to resist the urge to get close to him.
From the way the person addressed him earlier, he seemed to be called Liu Changgong… This name sounded rather artistic.
“You must be hungry. Come, let’s eat something first…”
Under the gaze of the little fox, Su Yue saw the youth take out a clean bowl from the kitchen, tear off a drumstick, and place it inside.
By smelling the fragrance, Su Yue already knew what it was!
Smells good!
At this moment, this was the only two words in her mind!
What escape! What daughter of a Demon Emperor! What exile! She had thrown it all to the back of her mind!
Right now, she only wanted to properly taste this drumstick!
