Chapter 552: I’ll Show You the Splendor of This World!
Luo Xue looked at Lin Fengmian’s greedy expression and couldn’t help but laugh and cry at the same time.
“If the next two harvests are like this, these blood crystals should be enough for you to cultivate up to the Nascent Soul Realm.”
Lin Fengmian picked up a blood crystal, tossed it in his hand, and chuckled. “The Nascent Soul Realm, huh? This will save me so much time and effort!”
Luo Xue smiled wryly. “A human-shaped spiritual medicine like this with no resistance is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!”
Lin Fengmian also glanced at Jun Chengye with a hint of regret, but waved his hand dismissively. “Pfft, this old guy is smelly and disgusting. I’m not interested in him.”
Once he found Jun Yunshang, wouldn’t it be better to hold her fragrant self and cultivate together while living off her? Just thinking about the days where Jun Yunshang would handle the tough situations while he enjoyed her company made Lin Fengmian grin from ear to ear.
Luo Xue glared at him. “Why are you smiling like that? It’s so punchable!”
Lin Fengmian awkwardly coughed. “I was just thinking of something happy!”
He and Luo Xue sealed Jun Chengye again, and then Lin Fengmian smiled. “Luo Xue, how about I take you for a walk?”
Luo Xue was confused. “Where to?”
Lin Fengmian smiled faintly. “Including this time, you’ve come here three times, right?”
“I’ve never taken you to really explore this world. Let’s go anywhere and just look around.”
Luo Xue also recalled that during her previous visits, she had either been chased by the demonic monks of Huanxi Temple or surrounded by fox demons. She had never had a moment of peace.
Now she also wanted to see what the world of the future was like, so she nodded in agreement.
A moment later, Lin Fengmian walked out of the study, and Elder Ming approached with a smile, holding a storage ring in his hand.
“Your Highness, these are the spirit stones that Young Master Ding sent over. Take a look.”
Lin Fengmian couldn’t help but laugh. “That guy’s pretty quick. I was planning to drag him out and sell him off.”
He took the storage ring, and Luo Xue asked curiously, “What’s going on?”
Lin Fengmian explained everything to her, which made her giggle.
“This person is really interesting, but at least he keeps his word.”
Lin Fengmian walked out of the palace, with Elder Ming and You Yao following behind.
“Your Highness, shall we prepare a carriage?” Old Ming asked.
Lin Fengmian shook his head. “No need, I’ll just walk around.”
He leisurely strolled through the streets and soon arrived at the bustling area of Tianze City. However, he began to feel a bit lost.
He had only been to Tianze City a few times and hadn’t really explored it!
Lin Fengmian wasn’t sure where Luo Xue wanted to go, so he suggested, “Luo Xue, how about I let you take control of the body and wander around?”
Luo Xue initially wanted to refuse, but after all, she was a lively and curious woman who had been locked in the Cloud Return Pavilion by the Qionghua Sovereign for many years.
Now that she was free and seeing the bustling world before her, she couldn’t help but be tempted by the allure of the world.
“All right… but keep an eye on me. If I do anything inappropriate, let me know.”
Luo Xue wandered aimlessly through the streets, watching the hustle and bustle around her, her eyes filled with emotion.
The vitality and liveliness of the world made her certain that this world was real.
She really was in the world of a thousand years later!
This wasn’t an illusion or a delusion!
Elder Ming and You Yao didn’t understand why Lin Fengmian had such an expression.
Was it homesickness?
Luo Xue suddenly stopped in front of a treasure shop that specialized in women’s accessories, looking tempted.
But as soon as she took a step forward, she remembered her current identity and stopped.
“Go inside and take a look,” Lin Fengmian encouraged her.
“No, even if I look, I can’t take anything back,” Luo Xue said with a hint of disappointment.
“You can take it back. At worst, I’ll buy the recipes and techniques and you can make them yourself when you go back,” Lin Fengmian said with a smile.
“I don’t know how!” Luo Xue laughed.
“Then I’ll learn. The next time I visit you, I’ll make them for you,” Lin Fengmian said gently.
Luo Xue was touched and teased, “Aren’t you afraid of being laughed at, a big man looking at these things?”
Lin Fengmian said calmly, “What is there to be afraid of? They won’t kick you out.”
Luo Xue returned control of the body to Lin Fengmian, unable to hold back her laughter. “Alright, then go!”
She had wanted to see Lin Fengmian make a fool of himself, but to her surprise, he walked into the treasure shop with confidence, a faint smile on his lips.
The treasure shop specialized in women’s clothes, jewelry, and cosmetics. Inside, there were only women browsing the items.
When they saw Lin Fengmian walk in, they were all surprised, thinking that he was some kind of rogue.
But when they saw his handsome appearance, elegant demeanor, and the presence of You Yao and Elder Ming behind him, their eyes lit up.
Lin Fengmian’s appearance and aura were extraordinary, making him stand out like a crane among chickens.
However, some women recognized him as the infamous Thirteenth Prince and quietly slipped away.
The shopkeeper, a graceful middle-aged woman, greeted Lin Fengmian with a smile.
“Young master, how can I help you?”
Although she didn’t recognize Lin Fengmian, she could tell that he was a wealthy and noble young master who could not be slighted.
Lin Fengmian said indifferently, “Bring out your best jewelry and treasures. Don’t try to fool me with inferior goods.”
The shopkeeper’s face lit up with joy, and she quickly called her assistants to bring out the items, introducing them one by one.
They were all made of special spiritual jade or rare ores, engraved with formations that had calming and soothing effects.
Lin Fengmian picked up each hairpin, necklace, and bracelet and asked Luo Xue for her opinion.
“Luo Xue, what do you think of this small bracelet?”
Luo Xue felt a little uncomfortable. “Discussing these things with a man feels a bit strange.”
Lin Fengmian didn’t mind. “What’s wrong with being a man? I also have a sense of aesthetics, you know?”
Luo Xue had to admit, his taste was indeed good.
“This bracelet is quite pretty, but the craftsmanship seems a bit lacking.”
…
After browsing through the shop, Luo Xue actually took a liking to a few items.
Luo Xue sighed in admiration. “After a thousand years, there really are a lot of beautiful things. It’s a shame that I can’t try them on.”
“Who says you can’t?”
Lin Fengmian smiled and waved at You Yao. “You Yao, come here.”
You Yao’s expression turned strange, but remembering Jun Chengye’s instructions, she had no choice but to walk over.
“What?”
Lin Fengmian said calmly, “Don’t move!”
You Yao had no idea that she was being used as a stand-in. Suppressing the urge to run, she forced herself to stand still.
Lin Fengmian gathered You Yao’s long hair and pinned it up with a hairpin, examining it carefully.
“Not bad!”
You Yao felt like she had been granted a reprieve and was about to leave, but Lin Fengmian stopped her and continued to fiddle with her hair.
You Yao felt completely helpless. After trying on several items, she finally gritted her teeth and asked, “Are you done?”
Lin Fengmian nodded. “Wrap them all up!”
You Yao said coldly, “I don’t want them!”
Lin Fengmian replied, “I’m not giving them to you.”
You Yao felt like she could kill him right then and there, her chest heaving with anger.
She felt that if she ever died, it would be from being angered to death by this jerk.
The shopkeeper flattered, “Young master, you have excellent taste. These are all our latest designs.”
“Are they all made here?” Lin Fengmian asked.
“Yes, you can’t find them anywhere else,” the shopkeeper said proudly.
“I would like to learn this craft. Can you teach me?” Lin Fengmian asked with interest.
“Young master, this is the secret technique of our shop. We don’t teach outsiders…”
The shopkeeper looked troubled, but before she could finish, Lin Fengmian interrupted her by pulling out a large bag of Spirit Stones.
“Spirit Stones don’t matter. I don’t want to spread the knowledge. I just want to make something for someone I care about. Please grant me this.”
The shopkeeper weighed the bag in her hand and smiled immediately.
“Since you are so sincere, how could I disappoint you?”
At first, she wanted to refuse, but Lin Fengmian’s offer was simply too generous.
Half an hour later, Lin Fengmian returned after learning the craft. “Luo Xue, is there anywhere else you want to go?”
Luo Xue was also in a good mood and smiled. “Let’s just walk around. I’ve never really left the sect to explore.”
Lin Fengmian smiled gently. “Come on, I’ll show you the splendor of this world!”
