Chapter 17 Plastic Talent "Yun'e, we've already ordered enough dishes, let's not order any more." Hu Youquan saw that Zhou Yun'e had already ordered five dishes and had no intention of stopping. She wanted to continue ordering, so he couldn't help but interrupt her. The key point is that the four dishes ordered are not side dishes, but rather hard ones. He calculated the prices and found that the five dishes would cost nine low-grade spirit stones in total, which was beyond his budget. "But 'Dragon and Phoenix' and 'Golden Fruit of Wind and Thunder' are also the signature dishes of Laifeng Pavilion. It's a rare opportunity for me to come here, so I want to try them all." Zhou Yun'e was firm. The two have been together for a month. Over the past month, Zhou Yun'e's life has indeed undergone tremendous changes. No longer having to live in a shantytown, they moved into a real cave, although it was only a Class D cave, the lowest of the four levels of caves. But the location of the cave is not bad, the spiritual energy is also very strong, and the key is that this cave is Hu Youquan's private property. His parents bought it for him, so he doesn't have to pay rent. What she was wearing now was finally the robe she had longed for.
There are not many formations on the robe, and there are only two magical effects: keeping away dust and being immune to cold and heat. It does not even have any effects like defense or wind resistance, so it can be said to be flashy but not practical. But the shape is very nice, it is an authentic product produced by Baifulou and is very popular. Of course, the price is not low. Even the basic model requires 58 low-grade spirit stones. I can eat spiritual rice every day, and I also took two pills this month. She had a premonition that her cultivation would soon break through the third level of Qi training. In just one month, half of the hard work of the past decade or so was equivalent. However, the only thing that made her a little dissatisfied was that she had said it many times, but Hu Youquan finally brought her to Laifeng Tower today to open her eyes. "These two dishes are too expensive. One costs three lower-grade spirit stones, and the other costs four lower-grade spirit stones... Moreover, these two dishes focus more on taste and experience, and are not very helpful for cultivation. It's not cost-effective." Hu Youquan persuaded with a painful look on his face. Including these two dishes, today's meal will cost 16 low-grade spirit stones. Although he is not unable to afford it, he is not a top rich second-generation! The monthly rent is only twenty low-grade spirit stones, which is not enough to afford Zhou Yun'e's extravagance and waste. In just one month, plus the cost of today's meal, Zhou Yun'e will have spent hundreds of his spirit stones. If this goes on, let alone saving spirit stones every month, accumulating assets and buying a storefront, all my savings will be emptied sooner or later! So after enduring for a month, Hu Youquan felt that he couldn't go on like this and it was time to restrain himself. "Two dishes together cost seven spirit stones, which is not too much...Okay, even if it's a bit expensive, we don't eat here every day. It's a rare occasion when we come here, can't we afford it?" Zhou Yun'e said with a slight frown. "We can afford to eat, but you don't need to, you know!" Hu Youquan lowered his voice and communicated calmly, "If we save a little, we can buy a third storefront soon! Why waste money like this?" Zhou Yun'e was unhappy when she heard this. "Don't use the third storefront to pressure me. I only know that before we were together, you promised me that you would agree to whatever I asked for as long as it was within your ability. Let me ask you, is my request now beyond your tolerance? Far from it, right? If I still have to live a tight life with you, then what's the difference between me and Xiao Changqing before?" Hu Youquan couldn't help it anymore, his face turned cold: "Calculate carefully how much spiritual stones you have spent this month! It's not beyond my ability. If you continue like this, can I afford it? Not to mention saving spiritual stones to buy a third storefront, even my two storefronts will be squandered! Zhou Yun'e, I have tried my best to tolerate you, I hope you know what's good for you!" After saying that, Hu Youquan's face turned fierce and he said angrily: "If you feel that your life now is no different from the days when you followed that loser Xiao Changqing, then you can just go back and follow him!" Zhou Yun'e's pretty face became gloomy due to the scolding, and there was obvious anger in her eyes.
but. When Hu Youquan used his last move, telling her to go back if she couldn't accept it, her defense was instantly broken. It’s okay to quarrel, but don’t go too far. Zhou Yun'e didn't dare to bet whether Hu Youquan really thought so. If the two of them really fell out, she would be the only one who would regret it. After all, Hu Youquan had a house and a storefront, and he could still live a comfortable life without her, and it wouldn't be difficult for him to find another beautiful female cultivator. But she is in trouble. The anger in Zhou Yun'e's eyes dissipated at a speed visible to the naked eye. She lowered her head and sobbed, "If you don't want to eat, then don't eat. Why are you so fierce? I'm just curious, and I don't have to eat it. Can't you just talk properly?" I have to say that a woman’s crying is a killer move for many men. As soon as Zhou Yun'e dropped the little pearl, Hu Youquan's anger quickly subsided, and he began to hug her and comfort her in a soft voice. However, this monk Hu is still very principled. Although he tried to comfort her, he still did not order the two expensive dishes for Zhou Yun'e and did not fulfill her wish. Zhou Yun'e was also very tactful and did not make any more requests. …… …… The two tables are not very close to each other. But as a cultivator, his hearing is naturally much stronger than that of ordinary people. Jiang Jiuyue and Mu Chunfeng roughly heard the quarrel between the two. Originally, they just treated it as a fun incident and did not think too much about it. After all, the world of cultivating immortals is sometimes more realistic and cruel than the mortal world. Such quarrels and conflicts between Taoist partners are nothing new in this small Nanshanfang. Mu Chunfeng's main focus was still on worrying about Lu Qiu's hasty departure and considering how to explain the task to his father. When Jiang Jiuyue heard the two people mention Xiao Changqing and heard Hu Youquan call the female cultivator Zhou Yun'e, her eyes suddenly became strange. In addition, she had heard of this gossip before, and she was already certain of the identities of this Taoist couple. What a coincidence... Suddenly, her eyes rolled, as if she had thought of something. She looked at her bestie mysteriously and asked, "Chunfeng, aren't you asking about the most promising talisman master in our Lingfu Pavilion?" Mu Chunfeng held his chin with both hands and said weakly: "Didn't you say that you would definitely return to the sect in the future? There is no need to waste more time on you." Jiang Jiuyue chuckled. Just now, Mu Chunfeng asked her who among the remaining talisman masters in Lingfu Pavilion, besides Lu Qiu, was more talented and had the best hope of being promoted to a second-level talisman master in the future. Jiang Jiuyue said herself without hesitation. "Besides me, there is actually another talented person who has been praised by my uncle, and that is the pen given to him by Senior Brother Lu Qiu! Before Senior Brother Lu Qiu left, he used the double-winged tiger-hair pen that he had used for more than ten years. He didn't want to resell it, and wanted to give it to a talisman master with potential and in need... In the end, he gave it to this person." Jiang Jiuyue said, feeling a little indignant. In fact, she also wanted Senior Brother Lu's pen, but her uncle said that her talisman-making pen was of very good quality, no worse than Senior Brother Lu Qiu's, and since she had no use for it, he didn't give it to her.
