Chapter 78: Slacking Off, Day Seventy-Eight
The market at the Xun Xian Grand Assembly was bustling, packed with a dazzling array of goods.
“Third-grade magical artifacts, blow-out sale! Only ten low-grade spirit stones each!”
“Celestial fruits! Fresh celestial fruits! We have everything from third to sixth grade! Third-grade fruits are just one high-grade spirit stone apiece!”
“We’ve got all kinds of pills! For cultivation, for healing, and even for… well, you know! We have it all, come take a look!”
Listening to the hawkers shouting their wares, Wen Ying suddenly remembered the mountains of spirit stones gathering dust in her pocket dimension.
Since she had money, she naturally had to spend it! Buy, buy, buyāthat was the true path to happiness! It didn’t matter if everything she bought was useless.
Wen Ying realized she had missed out on so much joy by not visiting this market in her previous reincarnation cycles.
“Look, you two. Whatever you want, we can buy it!” Wen Ying waved her hand grandly, speaking to Shen Linfeng and Xiao Hei with the air of a nouveau riche.
“Meow~ Meow meow meow~” Xiao Hei chirped, lingering in front of a stall selling magical artifacts.
What Xiao Hei said was: “That artifact looks like a dried fish. I like it.”
However, just as Wen Ying was about to step forward, Xiao Hei meowed again: “Meow meow meow…”
This time, Xiao Hei said: “But that artifact looks like a little mouse. I want that one too…”
Wen Ying didn’t hesitate. She walked right up to the stall. “Boss, I’ll take every artifact in your shop!”
Only kids make choices; as an adult, I want them all!
“Huh? All of them? Fellow immortal, are you… sure?” Even the stall owner couldn’t quite believe it.
“That’s right. All of them.” Wen Ying pulled a large money bag from her sleeve, opened it to show the owner, and asked, “Five hundred high-grade spirit stones. Is that enough?”
This feeling of being a domineering CEO, spending money like waterāit was justātoo! Damn! Good!
“Enough, enough!” The owner beamed, reaching out to grab the money bag.
“What are you doing?” Wen Ying pulled her hand back alertly.
“Huh?” The owner froze. “Did the guest not… want to buy all my artifacts with these five hundred high-grade spirit stones?”
“What are you thinking?” Wen Ying waved her hand. “I was just asking if it was enough to cover the cost. If it is, then calculate the actual price for me.”
“Also,” Wen Ying added, “I’m buying so much at once, you have to give me a discount, right? How about ten percent off?”
Wen Ying was a spendthrift, not a fool with more money than brains.
Buying in bulk and overpaying? That would just make her a pure idiot throwing money away.
“…Alright.”
Although she wasn’t quite the wealthy lady the owner had expected, buying the whole stock was enough to make him happy.
Wen Ying casually tossed all the purchased artifacts into her pocket dimension.
A shopping spree without having to carry bagsātruly a beautiful thing.
“Shen Linfeng, do you need anything?” Wen Ying asked, turning to him.
Shen Linfeng shook his head, but his gaze lingered for a split second on the pills.
He wants pills?
Could it be for emergency use?
Although Wen Ying had plenty of pills, but…
Shopping is about happiness. Does it matter if she already has them at home? No!
“Shopkeeper, I’ll take all these pills!” Wen Ying declared heroically once more.
Shen Linfeng… hadn’t actually wanted those pills.
He had simply looked at that specific pillāthe one with the you-know-what usageāand was curious for just a fleeting moment…
Although he figured out what kind of medicine it was a second later, it was too late to stop Wen Ying.
And… to be honest, Shen Linfeng was really happy.
Seeing Yingying spend money like water for him…
It felt like returning to a time long ago, when he and Yingying first met.
ćHehe! This System knew that you, Host, would definitely come to the first day of the Trial of Immortals Assembly! So, listen up! Please note, the Second Female Lead mission in the “White Moonlight” story is approaching! Since there is no specific mission content yet, this Little System can only remind you this much!ć
Wen Ying was currently helping the shopkeeper bag the pills and didn’t pay any attention to the System babbling in her head.
Whatever the mission was, it had nothing to do with her anyway.
Author’s Note:
Sigh, I couldn’t bear to lose my little red flower [attendance reward], so I worked myself to death to make up this update. I haven’t played my Onmyoji Gold Miner or 2048 games today… haven’t done my dailies in Miracle Nikki or Shining Nikki yet QAQ!
I also hope that one day I can say “Only kids make choices, as an adult, I want them all,” but I guess there’s no hope for me in this life. I’ll just let Wen Ying fulfill this wish for me QAQ.
