Immediately, he contacted a well-known forging family in the city to dispose of the Black Xuan Stone.
Somehow, word got out, and the entire city knew that the Grand Imperial Princess had used a Black Xuan Stone, which could buy an entire city, to purchase a bottle of medicine.
How valuable must that medicine be?
But after inquiries, the shop she went into wasn’t large, and it seemed unlikely to hold any treasures worthy of note.
So, the Grand Imperial Princess just squandered Black Xuan Stones to buy a bottle of unremarkable elixir.
The shopkeeper was glad for his foresight.
He didn’t dare ask for money, essentially giving it away, because if the Grand Imperial Princess regretted her purchase and came back for him, and he’d sold it, that’d spell disaster.
Chuzheng was really annoyed.
She said many times she’s not Chu Yingyu.
Does she need to wear “I am not Chu Yingyu” on her back?
That bastard Chu Yingyu, why hasn’t she logged on yet!
Get rid of her once to vent!
[…Miss, we are the Spendthrift System, there’s nothing money can’t solve, so could you please be less violent?] I’ll be embarrassed to boast to the neighboring systems at this rate.
Chuzheng: “I didn’t say I wouldn’t be spendthrift, can’t I first get rid of her to vent before spending extravagantly?”
There are three chances anyway, can’t waste them, right?
Must be frugal.
Thrift is a virtue.
Feels like I’m a good person again today.
[…]Miss, please don’t misuse the word “good person”!!
Chuzheng: “The game settings you’ve got are quite reasonable.”
[…]When it’s to your advantage, you call it reasonable, when it’s not, you curse me as a bastard! Why are you so unreasonable!
The King’s Account was so angry it couldn’t utter a word.
It logged off with a scheming heart attack to heal.
Chuzheng, holding the Tianjin Mouse and stroking its fur, seemed somewhat listless.
Squeak—
“Stop squeaking.” Chuzheng pressed the Tianjin Mouse’s head, it’s just a bit of fur-stroking, she’s not doing anything to it, can’t you stay quiet!
“I didn’t!” the Tianjin Mouse protested angrily.
Chuzheng and the Tianjin Mouse exchanged glances.
—Not you?
—No!
The Tianjin Mouse was furious, why would it squeak for no reason?!
Chuzheng turned and surveyed the room.
She was currently staying in an inn, the room’s decor was plain and could be seen at a glance.
The door had somehow opened.
But Chuzheng didn’t feel anything in the room.
The Tianjin Mouse’s little claws clutched Chuzheng’s clothes, its eyes spinning around: “Why do I feel so chilly and eerie?”
Chuzheng seriously stroked its fur twice: “I feel the same, might be haunted.”
The Tianjin Mouse’s voice pitched high: “Haunted!”
Chuzheng looked at it: “Are you scared?”
The Tianjin Mouse: “…Not, not scared! Who says I’m scared, that’s nonsense, an insult to my mousy dignity. I am a Divine Beast, you know? A Divine Beast! Not scared at all!”
“That means you’re scared.” Chuzheng concluded.
“…” The Tianjin Mouse bared its teeth and grimaced: “I told you I’m not…”
“Does that look like a ghostly shadow to you?”
“Ah!”
The Tianjin Mouse screamed and buried its head in Chuzheng’s embrace.
“So scared, and you call yourself a Divine Beast?” Chuzheng said without expression.
“Ever heard of ‘timid as a mouse’!” the Tianjin Mouse complained.
Meanwhile, not far from the room’s entrance, a certain beast hiding its presence said, “…”
Can’t you two be serious for a moment!
The door’s opened!
Won’t you check it out?!
While it was puzzling over this, suddenly, it felt a tightness under its feet, followed by being completely bound by something.
Smack—
A bird bigger than a human crashed to the ground, knocking over the room’s table, causing a chaotic clatter.
Looking up, the large bird saw the woman holding the Tianjin Mouse had retreated to the bedside, looking at it with an indifferent gaze.
While the large bird was somewhat confused, the woman’s lips parted lightly, “You’re the one who broke the table.”
The large bird: “…”
