Chapter 49: Chance Encounter, Treasure?
Sigh~
When will a small Nascent Soul cultivator like myself be able to make a name?
Jiang Yujiu sighed in her heart, but on the surface, she still answered the audience's questions with a sweet smile and voice.
There was a Senior Sister before who, for the sake of popularity, directly performed breaking a large stone with her chest.
She had to admit, she had considered that plan too, but ultimately gave up.
What if she shrunk!
Thinking this, she glanced sideways inadvertently.
Hmm?
The one over there carrying the water tank... looks like Chi Jiuyu from the Sword Sect.
If she also looked like Chi Jiuyu, she would definitely gain a lot of popularity, right?
Of course, Jiang Yujiu only thought about it; after all, impersonating that mysterious Little Martial Grand-Aunt of the Sword Sect was no different from seeking death.
In the previous Immortal Sect Grand Competition, her Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters were utterly defeated by that Chi Jiuyu.
She glanced a few more times.
No!
That was Chi Jiuyu!
An ordinary person might not have recognized her, but Jiang Yujiu was an Immortal Sect Disciple and also a Charm Cultivators skilled in observation.
That unique abstract aura could only belong to her!
Chi Jiuyu was actually here, and with someone she had never seen before!
Her heart immediately stirred; this was an excellent opportunity to ride the wave of popularity!
However, just as she took a step, Jiang Yujiu stopped.
Emm...
Based on Chi Jiuyu's style, if she were to just go over like that, her fate would likely be miserable.
She wouldn't hold back just because she was a Hehuan Sect Charm Cultivators; she might even strike harder.
Just as she hesitated, Chi Jiuyu and Xu Xing had already walked towards the opposite side.
Seeing this, she gave up.
Forget it, forget it, it's better to ride the wave of the ancient cultivator coming out of seclusion.
Immediately, Jiang Yujiu showed a charming smile towards the phone screen: "Alright, I'm going to the hotel now, so I'll stop here for today~ (づ￣3￣)づ╭～"
Closing the live stream, she once again controlled the colorful smoke and clouds, slowly rising into the sky.
Most of the people around looked up at her, their expressions dazed.
Although they usually said they looked down on it, how many of them hadn't 'criticized' it in private?
If everyone truly didn't watch, the Hehuan Sect wouldn't be the most popular Sect in the Central Continent.
And this one before them was a real-life Hehuan Sect Charm Cultivators; not the kind seen through a computer screen. The last time she saw a Charm Cultivators in Xuanjian City was when Xuan Yue Pavilion just opened.
Unfortunately, the Mayor had it shut down under the pretext of rectifying the city's appearance.
Feeling the gazes from all directions, Jiang Yujiu was smug in her heart; this was the effect she wanted, otherwise, she wouldn't have floated up so slowly.
"As expected, still the same." Chi Jiuyu looked back and couldn't help but complain, "But she recognized me, and she didn't come over to ride the wave of popularity?"
Yes, she had already noticed just now.
"You're waiting for her to come find you so you have an excuse to deal with her, right?" Xu Xing directly exposed her.
"How could that be?" Chi Jiuyu blinked her eyes innocently.
................
On the other side, Xiao Fan had just quit his job. Since he was a temporary worker without even signing a contract, quitting was convenient.
He just felt a little sorry for Brother Li; he had taken good care of him.
Walking on the path leaving the park, he felt somewhat helpless.
He couldn't go back to school, and he couldn't do the job. For now, it seemed he could only go back to continue cultivating.
Suddenly, a well-packaged, exquisitely patterned antique cup fell at his feet. It was printed with the trademark of this ornamental garden and a cartoon image of a fiery feather.
It was a souvenir sold in the park.
Not far from his right hand was a souvenir shop, so this must have accidentally fallen out from inside.
Xiao Fan bent down and picked it up, preparing to return it, but as soon as his hand touched it, a strange palpitation appeared in his heart.
This is a treasure.
A very absurd thought, one he couldn't understand, appeared in his mind.
"I must be crazy."
He shook his head, suppressing that absurd thought.
This thing probably just came out of the factory not long ago, how could it be a treasure?
He just thought he was overthinking things, and holding the picked-up cup, he walked into the souvenir shop.
"You dropped something."
There was only one salesclerk in the shop, a young girl of about sixteen or seventeen who looked a bit shy.
"Oh dear! S-sorry, thank you for the trouble!"
"It's nothing, just lending a hand."
Xiao Fan glanced around the shop. Besides the few displayed on the counter, there was a whole row neatly arranged on the shelves nearby, each one looking exactly like the one in his hand.
As expected, he was overthinking.
Just as he was about to hand the cup back to the salesclerk, a strong palpitation appeared in his heart again.
You will regret giving it away.
"I think this cup is quite nice. How much is it?"
"Eh, ah! This is five spirit coins. Look, the pattern on it is an imitation of an ancient Magic Treasure..."
The salesclerk began to talk non-stop, completely losing her shyness from before.
From the craftsmanship to the pattern, and even the ancient history of this cup, a perfectly ordinary cup was somehow praised by her into a unique piece of art.
"..."
No wonder she could be a salesclerk here; her sales skills were indeed excellent.
She had to admit, after her introduction, even without that absurd thought, he felt a slight urge to buy.
But... he still didn't buy it.
There was nothing he could do!
Who told him he only had a total of three spirit coins in his pocket right now, and there was no discount.
Sigh~
Five spirit coins.
Even if this was truly some treasure, it had no destiny with him.
After comforting himself with that thought, Xiao Fan left.
Watching him leave, the salesclerk was a bit bewildered. She first pretended to be shy, then talked for so long, and in the end, he didn't buy it?
Where did this poor guy come from?
Complaining in her heart, she put the cup back in its place and then poured herself a glass of water.
She had talked so much her mouth was dry. Making money these days was really not easy.
Just as she was complaining and sighing in her heart, another person walked in. Their appearance was ordinary, their demeanor gentle, and they were wearing casual clothes but a pair of shiny leather shoes.
"I want everything here."
Huh?
That generous?
"Okay." The salesclerk's face bloomed with a bright smile, and she stepped forward, "A total of eight hundred seventy-nine thousand six hundred and three spirit coins. I'll round it down for you, eight hundred seventy-nine thousand six hundred will do. May I ask who you are...?"
"Card swipe."
The person took out a jade card. A small golden sword emblem was printed on the card.
Issued by the Sword Sect, imitation welcome.
"Your taste is really good. Every single item here is..."
While boasting, the salesclerk took out an instrument and inserted the jade card into it.
A line of numbers immediately appeared on the instrument screen.
Ones, tens, hundreds, thousands, ten thousands, Bro, Brother, Dad, Grandpa, Great Grandpa!
The long string of numbers made the salesclerk feel dizzy.
Where did this big shot come from!
"Is it ready?"
"Almost ready, almost ready!"
Towards such a big shot, the salesclerk didn't dare to have any other thoughts. After swiping away eight hundred seventy-nine thousand six hundred, she respectfully handed the jade card back.
"Then everything here belongs to me."
"Of course it's yours. We can arrange for someone to help you..."
"No need."
The salesclerk only felt a blur before her eyes. When her vision returned, she found that the super big shot, along with all the souvenirs in the shop, had disappeared.
