Protect Our Chief
Chapter 918 - 37: The True Foundation of a Clan’s Growth and Strength!
...
But, after all, the two little girls were born into a noble family, and manners and etiquette were ingrained in them. Although they really wanted to eat, they restrained themselves from agreeing outright.
"Beautiful Sister Fairy." Wang Lici struggled to control her drooling and shook her head with difficulty, refusing, "I can chat with you, but let’s forget about the meal. We eat a lot..."
"Yes, indeed, we eat a lot, and we can’t let you spend too much. But still, thank you to the beautiful Sister Fairy in white." Lan Wan’er sighed.
Though the Devouring Bloodline is powerful, it’s quite troublesome, not only requiring a lot of food at once but also causing hunger quickly.
The temptation of delicious food is especially hard to resist for cultivators with Devouring Bloodlines.
Watching the two young girls, full of craving yet trying hard to control it, the Immortal Court Lady also chuckled.
Her eyes behind the veil slightly curved, and her tone carried a hint of amusement: "Wan’er, your skin is as white as snow and as dense and smooth as White Jade, must be from one of the top-grade Body Refining Techniques of the Immortal Court— the War Immortal Jade Body Technique, and you’ve already reached the Minor Achievement Realm? You must have some special War Body Bloodline... hmm, let me guess, with your appetite, it’s likely a Devouring Bloodline."
"What?"
Lan Wan’er widened her eyes, feeling as if she had been seen through at a glance, looking a bit cute and dazed.
After several moments of daze, she finally reacted: "Sister Fairy, do you know our family ancestor?"
"No, but I’ve heard that your Suiyun Lan Family’s main cultivation technique is the Thousand Mechanism Divine True Technique, focusing on Quenching Thought and Nourishing Spirit. Since your family ancestor spent significant resources to apply for the War Immortal Jade Body Technique at the Immortal Court, and the court agreed to it, it means you definitely have a special War Body Bloodline, very suitable for that technique’s inheritance."
"Sister Fairy, you’re amazing." Lan Wan’er’s eyes sparkled with admiration.
At this point, the Immortal Court Lady looked at Wang Lici and couldn’t help but smile with slightly curved brows: "You little girl are so lazy, even though you cultivated one of the Nine Sacred Veins of the Daqian Lingyun Sacred Land— the Glazed Bright King True Technique, which when reaching Minor Achievement Realm, makes the body like Vajra Glazed, with the might resembling that of the Ming King descending. Why do you look so chubby and baby-faced? Where’s the majestic Ming King presence?! Lazy girl, too focused on eating?"
Wang Lici scratched her head awkwardly and said, "Master says the Glazed Ming King True Technique isn’t quite suitable for me; it’s just that there’s no better War Body True Technique at the moment, so I’m temporarily cultivating it."
"You are too temporary... even if you switch techniques in the future, having the Glazed Ming King Battle Body as a foundation is still great. But never mind, never mind, I’m not your master, so why say so much? I assume your master has other plans." The Immortal Court Lady shook her head and laughed, "With two Devouring Bloodlines together, you sure can eat a lot. But don’t worry, I can at least cover a meal without running halfway to leave you to pay my debt."
Her words were full of confidence, and her insight was sharp, casually pointing out the girls’ backgrounds, clearly familiar with the techniques within the Immortal Court and the Nine Sacred Veins of Lingyun Sacred Land. She likely was a person of significant standing.
Seeing her speak with such confidence, the two girls were delighted and nodded repeatedly: "Thank you, Sister Fairy, we will definitely restrain ourselves."
The Immortal Court Lady then said to Shopkeeper Pang, "I have a cabinet of goods here, here’s the list, please send it all to the Second-Grade Zhao Family in East Qian Gui Long City, and include the little lady’s goods in the settlement."
"Yes, Immortal Envoy."
Shopkeeper Pang only knew she was a person of importance in the Immortal Court, but didn’t know her specific identity, so could only address her as "Immortal Envoy".
Although the Zhao Family in East Qian was a pioneering noble family, being listed as Second Grade meant they were very powerful; even within the entire Cold Moon Immortal Dynasty, they were a prestigious family of elder status.
He respectfully responded immediately.
After accounting with a flurry, he respectfully said: "Immortal Envoy, the total is fifty-nine thousand Immortal Crystals."
The Immortal Court Lady frowned: "Did you calculate incorrectly?"
She wasn’t sending her goods to East Qian Gui Long City for the first time and had a general idea of the prices, but this difference was too large. Moreover, nearly sixty thousand Immortal Crystals was not a small amount to her.
"Reporting to the Immortal Envoy, your goods cost nine thousand Immortal Crystals for transport, and the young lady’s is fifty thousand..." Shopkeeper Pang said nervously, sweating, "She’s shipping five Silver Moon Grey Wolf pups, needing experts to accompany and arrange them throughout, incurring significant expenses."
Good heavens~
The Immortal Court Lady glanced at Wang Lici.
Who would have thought~ this chubby little girl could be so tricky.
Wang Lici looked embarrassed and lowered her head, "Sister Fairy, I can give you an IOU, when Master returns..."
"No worries. I’m just a bit surprised you managed to get five spirit beast pups with considerable potential; your opportunity is rather extraordinary." The Immortal Court Lady laughed lightly, "I may not be a major figure, but I can still afford this amount, just think of it as helping out a fellow countrywoman."
"Sister Fairy, that greasy Shopkeeper Pang is deceiving, he just said the price could be negotiated." Lan Wan’er raised her hand to report, "He has the suspicion of tricking rich folks."
