Part 5
The reason why Ning Yunyi wanted all the water skin stones in City Lord Bai’s hands was also considering that this thing was useless to City Lord Bai, plus a piece was not worth much. Even if there were several pieces, it would be one or two million star coins.
Less than a fraction of the star coin transfer Ning Yunyi got from City Lord Bai this time.
Ning Yunyi didn’t care much and followed City Lord Bai to the bottom floor of the castle.
City Lord Bai dismissed the butler and took Ning Yunyi alone to the third floor underground.
The surroundings were much darker. Until reaching the innermost room, City Lord Bai turned on the wall lamp, and then took out the key to open this wooden door.
Yes, unlike the copper walls and iron walls elsewhere, City Lord Bai even used only a wooden door.
The kind that can be broken with one kick.
City Lord Bai sighed while opening the door, trying to persuade Ning Yunyi to take a few more pieces of 3S-level energy crystals, which could be auctioned off for emergency at critical moments when arriving at the First Star.
City Lord Bai being so casual made Ning Yunyi believe even more that he didn’t have many water skin stones in his hand, and they weren’t worth any money at all.
That’s why he tried so hard to persuade him to take more crystals, otherwise City Lord Bai felt his conscience was uneasy.
But as the wooden door opened with a clang, there was a shielding device set up in front. City Lord Bai was looking for something to turn it off, explaining: “This is a warehouse, every room is set up. Wait for me to turn off this mechanism first, otherwise it’s easy to trigger the alarm.”
Ning Yunyi didn’t answer. He looked expressionlessly at the place ahead which was really a warehouse. It occupied a large area, about several hundred square meters.
And in these several hundred square meters, gray and dark… water skin stones were piled up casually.
As City Lord Bai turned off the shielding device, Ning Yunyi immediately felt a strong spiritual power that made him dizzy rushing towards him.
That abundant feeling even made him think he was still in the cultivation world.
After the dizziness impact passed, Ning Yunyi realized that not long after standing here, he was refreshed and his five senses were much sharper.
“Brother? Look at so many water skin stones, do you really want them? This thing is clumsy and inconvenient to carry, and its value is not as good as energy crystals.” But thinking about it, he patted his chest, “I’ll find a way to transport them to the First Star for brother later.”
Even just the freight would probably be sky-high.
Ning Yunyi finally came back to his senses, looking at City Lord Bai, taking a deep breath: “How many water skin stones are there in here?”
City Lord Bai shook his head: “Haven’t counted, probably several hundred pieces? I was afraid I couldn’t support Ah Cheng these years, so I sent people to mine on the desolate star early on. These water skin stones were stumbled upon on a desolate star by mistake. There are some very bright stones inside this stone. Although rare, they have no energy and are not as good as energy crystals. Plus, they are not cheap. The only merit is looking good, so the price is low and spiritual power users don’t prefer them.”
He thought at the time not to make a trip in vain, so he moved all the water skin stones on that hill back.
Ning Yunyi sensed the water skin stones inside. There were hundreds of pieces with jade alone.
But he had to admit, how to take them away was a problem. He couldn’t put them into the space in front of City Lord Bai, so he could only open the jade pieces one by one and take them away separately.
Ning Yunyi felt that this trip was really worth it, and finally decided to accept these water skin stones.
These stones were not very useful to City Lord Bai, but they were very important to him.
At worst, he would take care of the eldest nephew more later to compensate a bit.
Ning Yunyi rejected City Lord Bai’s request to give additional crystals. He didn’t select the stones with jade to avoid exposing his ability, but only asked City Lord Bai to find tight-lipped people to open the stones overnight.
City Lord Bai naturally had no objection, and immediately selected his confidants to do it personally.
Although water skin stones are not as precious as S-level and above energy crystals, they are also valuable. It is hard to guarantee that others will not be tempted, so it is better to do it with his own people.
Ning Yunyi went back after giving instructions. His mood was happier than ever before.
Before leaving, he specially went to see his good eldest nephew, saying that he would bring him carrot carvings tomorrow and he could eat whatever he wanted.
Ning Yunyi thought of the look in the eldest nephew’s eyes as he lay on the window watching him leave reluctantly at that time. Who can refuse a little rabbit? When delivering carrot flowers tomorrow, he would pinch the long ears by the way. were they as fluffy as he guessed?
When Ning Yunyi went back, the atmosphere in the villa was a bit subtle.
Ning Xiao Miao found that he slept exceptionally deeply and well today, as if he was floating. When he got up, the sun was already high. He washed up and went downstairs. When he sat at the table, he moved his nose and immediately opened his eyes wide.
The little cub stared at the breakfast on the table in disbelief, tilting his head and staring blankly at the big cat lying on the side: “Is this left for me by Father? For me alone?”
Compared with the bland simplicity of the previous two days, Ning Xiao Miao looked at the love fried egg, in a trance. Isn’t the light diet days still not over?
Ning Xiao Miao finished this meal with a complicated mood, sitting side by side with the big cat on the steps: “Cat, was Father happy when he went out today?”
Why did he feel something was wrong?
The big cat glanced at him, its tail flicking lightly: Happy? Couldn’t really tell, just felt the other party’s expression was a bit strange at that time.
When Ning Yunyi came back, the corners of his mouth were raised. Seeing the two, his expression was softer than ever before, and his voice was several degrees softer. He picked up the little meow cub, full of loving fatherhood: “Good baby, did you sleep well today?”
Ning Xiao Miao was confused by this “baby”. When did Father become so mushy? But Father called him baby.
This was just the beginning. Next, Ning Xiao Miao and the big cat found out, something was wrong, really wrong.
Not only the two, but the people in the livestream room also noticed it.
Because the anchor changed his usual style today, not three dishes and one soup, but six dishes and two soups.
The livestream room was confused. Did yesterday’s face-slapping delay to today for the anchor to have a big meal to celebrate?
But whatever, there were usually only 40 servings, today there were 80 servings, and they were all hard dishes.
After the livestream ended, Ning Xiao Miao and the big cat stared blankly at the delicious food filling the table.
Sweet and sour fish, sweet and sour pork ribs, which big and small cats liked the most, were fine, there were even greatly nourishing cumin lamb and lamb soup, all of which were big meals so fragrant that people couldn’t restrain themselves.
But the problem is, aren’t they still in the light diet period?
The big cat and the little meow cub looked at each other and swallowed together: Really… something is wrong.
There were many dishes today. Ning Yunyi even specially found an extra basin for the big cat, filled with tempting food, full to the brim and even overflowing.
Ning Yunyi also touched the cat’s head gently: “There’s more if it’s not enough.”
After speaking, he looked at the two who were still staying there honestly, and picked up the chopsticks first: “Why don’t you move?”
Two shaking paws: No, absolutely dare not move.
