NOVEL NEXT Chapter 30: Dude, your face looks a bit green.
There are many poor people in Pingzhou, and the students of Pinglan Star Academy are even stingier than one another. The shopkeeper was used to it and sighed, "Alright then. I'll pour some out and sell it to you for thirty thousand." Lan Zhi quickly said, "No, no, no. Twenty-nine thousand five hundred at most. I still need to keep five hundred to buy other things." The shopkeeper felt exhausted and said, "Forget it, forget it. Consider this five hundred as a gift from me." Lan Zhi said happily, "Thank you." While the shopkeeper was dividing the liquid into smaller portions, Lan Zhi took a few drops with her fingertip and smeared them evenly on her face. When she turned to look for a mirror, she saw Xing Zhi sitting on a chair in the reception room, resting his chin on his hand and looking at the people coming and going outside the door. So she called out to him, "Xing Zhi, look at my face." Xing Zhi turned his head to look at her. As the God of all things in the Star Spirit world, his eyes could penetrate all illusions. The effect of the Phantom Spirit Liquid was nothing in his eyes. Her face looked no different from before to him, except for one thing: "Your face looks a bit green." Lan Zhi: "?" She looked down at the slightly green liquid that had been poured out and asked the shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, don't you have any Phantom Spirit Liquid that can make the skin look fairer?" The shopkeeper was exasperated and said, "Do you think what you're buying is beauty lotion? When you're about to change your appearance, who cares whether the skin is fair or not?" Lan Zhi was scolded by him and pursed her lips in a wronged manner. "Who says you can't want to look pretty when changing your appearance? You guys just don't understand girls' thoughts at all. I dare say that if the Phantom Spirit Liquid had a beauty effect, people would be willing to pay any price to buy it." The shopkeeper gave her a glance and said, "Could you even afford it then?" Lan Zhi: "..." That was really hurtful. However, the shopkeeper was still considerate enough to put a mirror in front of her so that she could see the effect after using the Phantom Spirit Liquid. The Phantom Spirit Liquid had the functions of both disguise and illusionary transformation of appearance. Lan Zhi saw that her facial features with some sharp edges became quite ordinary, and after she looked away, she immediately forgot what she herself looked like. Reluctantly, she accepted it. As long as it was useful, it didn't matter if her face was a bit green. Lan Zhi became happy again and ran over to call Xing Zhi, "Let's go shopping." Xing Zhi raised his eyes to look at her and suddenly smiled. He had a very special temperament. When he was quiet, he seemed so illusory that he was almost unreal. When he blended into the environment, it was as natural as in a painting. He was beautiful indeed, but wouldn't attract others' attention. Even, nothing in the world could leave any mark on him. But when he smiled, the quiet and beautiful scene was disturbed, and an astonishing effect like a stormy sea was immediately created. Lan Zhi felt as if thousands of fireworks had exploded in her mind with a "bang", making her feel a bit dizzy for a moment. Lan Zhi held onto the door, and the tips of her ears turned a bit red. "What are you smiling at?" Xing Zhi didn't seem to notice anything and said, "Suddenly I feel that looking at the pedestrians outside is not as interesting as looking at you." Lan Zhi: "?" Was this some cheesy love talk? She collected herself and said earnestly, "Xing Zhi, don't say such things casually to girls in the future, including me." The all-knowing Lord of the Star Spirits rarely showed genuine confusion and asked, "Why?" Lan Zhi put on a serious face and said, "Because it's easy to become a heartthrob that sets girls' hearts on fire." - After leaving the Thousand Medicine Pavilion, Lan Zhi bought two sets of clothes and some odds and ends. Xing Zhi didn't buy anything. Lan Zhi looked at the remaining money and saw that there was a restaurant next to them that Yan Huailè had recommended as having delicious food at a reasonable price. So she said, "Let's go. I'll treat you to a big meal." Lan Zhi was eager to try the delicious food. She carefully calculated the balance and ordered seven or eight small dishes. The two of them tasted them one by one. Every time she ate a dish, Lan Zhi thought it was really delicious. Every time he ate a dish, Xing Zhi would have an expression that seemed to say, "So this is what it tastes like."
