One hundred thousand spirit stones
Wu Longyue wanted to directly refuse, but then she thought of Song Cha.
Wu Longyue cared a lot about Song Cha; she could be untrustworthy, but she couldn’t let Song Cha see her as someone who lacked integrity.
What would happen if Song Cha thought she was a person who couldn’t be trusted?
With that thought, Wu Longyue looked at Song Cha.
Currently, Song Cha was still looking at her with a comforting expression: “Longyue, I’m so glad you can see things clearly.”
Wu Longyue: “…Mm.”
Regarding this matter, Wu Longyue felt angry inside.
However, she couldn’t vent that anger towards Song Cha.
Since she couldn’t direct it at Song Cha, it was obvious who she would direct it at.
Who else could it be but Shao Yumiao?
Wu Longyue also put on a smile: “Shao Yumiao, are you going to buy a magic tool?”
Shao Yumiao was a bit puzzled by Wu Longyue’s question; she couldn’t understand why Wu Longyue suddenly asked such a thing.
But it was clear that Shao Yumiao had just mentioned going to buy a magic tool.
So, thinking of this, Shao Yumiao nodded slightly: “Yes.”
Hearing Shao Yumiao confirm that she was going to buy a magic tool, Wu Longyue’s smile became less pale and instead grew much more determined: “Since it’s a magic tool being bought for me, of course, I want to go along.”
At this point, Wu Longyue looked at Song Cha: “Song Cha, you should come along too.”
Upon hearing Wu Longyue’s words, Song Cha felt a bit confused. Was it really necessary for all three of them to go just to buy a magic tool?
However, the fact that Wu Longyue, who was usually afraid of the dark, had to overcome that fear was already enough to make her sad.
So in this situation, Song Cha didn’t want Wu Longyue to remain upset; at the very least, she wanted to comfort her and deepen Wu Longyue’s feelings for her.
So thinking of this, Song Cha nodded, “Alright, I’ll go with you.”
Shao Yumiao: “……”
Listening to their conversation, Shao Yumiao frowned slightly, “There’s no need.”
Seeing Shao Yumiao’s furrowed brow, Wu Longyue smiled playfully, “Shao Yumiao, Sister Shao Yumiao, what’s the need? Both me and Sister Song Cha want to accompany you.”
Shao Yumiao: “……”
Wu Longyue: “Didn’t we agree to go?”
Faced with Wu Longyue’s words, although she felt quite displeased deep down, Shao Yumiao couldn’t find the words to respond and could only continue walking towards the magic tool shop.
Shao Yumiao’s magic tool, which was at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, wasn’t particularly advanced. Its main function was to set up a barrier at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage. Although the barrier it created could be formidable, in reality, it could only withstand a few strikes from a peak Nascent Soul cultivator.
Such a magic tool could be crafted by a peak Nascent Soul craftsman in just a few months.
As she walked, Shao Yumiao’s frown deepened.
She looked at Song Cha, “Cha Cha, I have something to take care of, I’ll step away for a bit.”
Saying this, Shao Yumiao intended to move forward.
However, before she could take a step, she was stopped by Wu Longyue.
“Shao Yumiao, Sister, why are you leaving so soon? Didn’t we say we were going to buy magic tools?” Wu Longyue was smiling, but there was no trace of warmth in her eyes.
Shao Yumiao: “……”
Seeing that Shao Yumiao remained silent, Wu Longyue didn’t mind. She turned to Song Cha, “Sister Song Cha, it seems like Sister Shao Yumiao has something to do and wants to leave for a bit. How about we ask Sister Shao Yumiao where she bought her magic tool, and we can go buy it ourselves?”
Shao Yumiao: “……”
Noticing Shao Yumiao’s silence, Wu Longyue didn’t care and pulled Song Cha along as they moved forward.
Wu Longyue was a peak Golden Core cultivator, while Song Cha was at the mid Golden Core stage.
In a situation where both individuals had top-tier cultivation and talent, Song Cha was completely unable to resist Wu Longyue and could only be ‘forced’ to follow behind, being dragged towards the magic tool shop by Wu Longyue.
Shao Yumiao’s expression grew even darker, as she was unable to stop this scene from unfolding.
With no other choice, she had to follow behind the two of them and move forward.
Wu Longyue quickly led Song Cha to the largest magic tool shop in Qingfeng City.
As soon as Song Cha stepped into the shop, she spotted the familiar shop owner standing there.
Song Cha: “……”
The moment she saw the shop owner, Song Cha recalled the time she had come to this shop with Shao Yumiao, when they left empty-handed and the shop owner’s displeased expression.
There was also a hint of disdain in his gaze.
Now, Song Cha noticed that the shop owner’s look towards her also carried a trace of contempt.
In this situation, Wu Longyue produced a delicate magic tool from her hand.
It was a blue, ball-shaped magic tool that originally emitted a soft blue light, but now, it was a broken item.
Wu Longyue presented the magic tool to the owner: “Shopkeeper, do you have this kind of magic tool here?”
The owner glanced at the tool and spoke without hesitation: “We have this kind of magic tool.”
As he spoke, the owner pointed to a mark on the edge of the tool: “You see this mark here? It was crafted by our tool refiners.”
Upon hearing the owner’s words, Wu Longyue turned to look at Shao Yumiao.
Shao Yumiao’s brows were tightly furrowed, clearly in a bad mood.
However, Shao Yumiao’s mood suddenly brightened.
She looked at the owner with great interest: “Then may I ask, how much is this magic tool?”
“Fixed price, one hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones,” the owner replied without hesitation.
“Give me one.” Wu Longyue took out a storage bag and handed it to the shopkeeper.
The shopkeeper opened the storage bag and looked at the pile of spirit stones inside. His smile instantly became more eager, and the disdain he had for Song Cha disappeared without a trace.
The shopkeeper quickly went into the inner room and brought out a complete version of the magical artifact that Wu Longyue was holding.
It was truly an identical magical artifact; not only was the size and shape the same, but even the imprint at the bottom of the artifact was identical.
After taking a glance at the artifact, Wu Longyue was very satisfied and put it away.
She looked at the shopkeeper and asked again, “Are you really sure that this type of magical artifact is only sold here?”
“Yes.” The shopkeeper patted his chest and gave a guarantee: “This type of magical artifact is only sold by us. If you find it elsewhere, you can return it.”
Wu Longyue didn’t say anything more to the shopkeeper.
In fact, the most important part of the shopkeeper’s words for her was always that this type of magical artifact was only sold by them.
It was clear that this type of magical artifact was not available elsewhere.
Wu Longyue turned to Shao Yumiao, smiling charmingly, “Shao Yumiao sister, did you buy your magical artifact here too?”
Shao Yumiao: “……”
Before Shao Yumiao could speak, the shopkeeper, who had been standing by, answered for her: “This fairy indeed bought this magical artifact from us. I remember her beautiful appearance very clearly. I also recall that there was a promotion going on at the time, and this fairy only spent eighty thousand high-grade spirit stones to buy it.”
“Oh?” Wu Longyue’s gaze towards the shopkeeper became even friendlier, “Shao Yumiao sister, I didn’t expect you bought this artifact for just eighty thousand.”
Shao Yumiao: “……”
Shao Yumiao looked quite unhappy.
Wu Longyue completely understood Shao Yumiao’s displeasure.
From the very first glance at Shao Yumiao, Wu Longyue found her quite unlikable.
Shao Yumiao appeared to be very close to Song Cha, interrupting her conversation with him, and even took him away, using the excuse of being afraid of the dark, which completely ruined her plans.
Moreover, Shao Yumiao not only ruined her opportunity this time but also defined her fear of the dark as a disease that needed to be cured.
When Wu Longyue heard Shao Yumiao say this, her dislike for Shao Yumiao grew even stronger. Shao Yumiao not only interrupted her time with Song Cha but also destroyed her biggest reason for getting close to Song Cha! How could Wu Longyue possibly tolerate someone like Shao Yumiao?
However, Shao Yumiao seemed to be disguising herself perfectly. Even though she felt that Shao Yumiao had a malicious heart and ill intentions towards Song Cha, she couldn’t find a suitable reason to confront her. It wasn’t until she heard Shao Yumiao mention that the magical artifact was worth three hundred thousand high-grade spirit stones that she realized an opportunity had come.
Shao Yumiao: “……”
Wu Longyue looked at Shao Yumiao: “Sister Shao Yumiao, can you tell me why you said something worth one hundred thousand spirit stones is actually three hundred thousand spirit stones?”
Shao Yumiao: “……”
The reason Shao Yumiao said that in the first place was simply because she found Wu Longyue unpleasant and wanted to set her up. She had even thought about what to do with those spirit stones; she planned to use them along with the thirty million high-grade spirit stones her father gave her to buy things for Song Cha.
Seeing that Shao Yumiao wasn’t speaking, Wu Longyue didn’t feel discouraged. She continued to look at Song Cha: “Sister Song Cha, I’m so unhappy. Can you tell me why Sister Shao Yumiao did that? She clearly is such a good person.”
Shao Yumiao: “……”
Song Cha: “……”
Wu Longyue: “Song Cha sister, did I do something wrong that made Sister Shao Yumiao unhappy, and that’s why she treated me this way? It’s all my fault.”
Song Cha: “……”
Watching Wu Longyue speak, Song Cha felt as if she were watching a Qiong Yao drama; the white lotus act was simply too much. Ever since her reincarnation, Song Cha had been using her green tea skills exceptionally well.
But after meeting Shao Yumiao and Wu Longyue, she felt… that she actually wasn’t doing well enough.
You have to understand, she came from the modern world, from an era of information explosion, where various green tea techniques were practically endless. She had studied them deeply.
And what about Shao Yumiao and Wu Longyue?
The two of them were self-taught in their dramatic, white lotus, and green tea attributes.
Not only were they self-taught, but they were also remarkably skilled.
“Sister Song Cha, why aren’t you speaking? Do you also think I’m in the wrong?” While Song Cha was lost in thought, Wu Longyue once again looked aggrieved.
Song Cha: “……”
“No, Longyue, you didn’t do anything wrong,” Song Cha replied.
“No wrong? How could I possibly be without fault?” Wu Longyue’s eyes seemed to glisten with tears, “If I wasn’t wrong, how could Sister Shao Yumiao deceive me like this?”
Song Cha: “Longyue, you really didn’t do anything wrong in this matter.”
When it came to scoring their dramatic performances, Song Cha genuinely wanted to give Shao Yumiao a perfect score, not fearing that it would make her arrogant.
“If I wasn’t wrong, why would Sister Shao Yumiao ask me for money? This is all the spirit stones I have left.” Wu Longyue looked like a pitiful woman whose feelings had been betrayed, and the tears in her eyes seemed to increase.
Song Cha: “……”
Shao Yumiao’s expression was terrifyingly cold.
She took out a storage bag, her voice filled with icy intent: “This is one million high-grade spirit stones, I’ll double it for you!”
Wu Longyue looked at Shao Yumiao in astonishment: “Sister Shao Yumiao, you actually have spirit stones? I… I thought you were asking me for more money because you didn’t have any.”
But then, Wu Longyue’s face turned even paler: “Sister Shao Yumiao, I originally thought you didn’t have money, which is why you were asking me for it. If that’s the case, I could give you this money. But, but I didn’t expect you to actually have money!”
“You have money and still asked me for more, I must have done something wrong. Sister Shao Yumiao, please forgive me!”
Shao Yumiao: “……”
Hearing Wu Longyue’s words, Shao Yumiao not only didn’t want to forgive Wu Longyue, but also wanted to hit her.
Although Wu Longyue appeared innocent on the surface, Shao Yumiao could completely see the malice hidden beneath that innocent facade.
However, what Shao Yumiao valued most was Song Cha. She looked at Song Cha, wanting to gauge her current attitude.
But all Shao Yumiao saw was Song Cha, who seemed lost in thought.
Shao Yumiao couldn’t guess Song Cha’s thoughts at all, and she suddenly felt flustered.
