To be honest, Luo Wusheng never expected to encounter Yue Xuanji here again.
A mighty Tribulation Crossing expert, the master of the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics whose every move was guided by his incredible divination skills. Was it really fine for him to have such a strong presence before him?
And 20 Star-Moon Jade?
In total, he had only made twenty-three Star-Moon Jade back in the ancient heavenly gate. Now, one piece was given to Little Yuliu, one to Bai Xiaoyao, one to Yao Ji, one to the person in front of him last night, and he even gave one to Miss Kirin in his dreams… Shouldn’t that count as half a piece, instead?
In other words, he currently only had eighteen and a half pieces of Star-Moon Jade left. Where could he find twenty pieces to trade for a rundown inn?
Did she have any idea of the value in this world?
Standing inside the Wandering Immortal Inn, Luo Wusheng’s lips twitched.
“Miss Yue, please don’t joke…”
“I’m not joking.”
The white-haired ancient legal loli raised her small head and casually waved her hand. With the clear sound of the Star-Moon Jade chain moving, Luo Wusheng once again found himself sitting on the ground under immense pressure.
The little girl hopped off the wooden platform, satisfied with her work. She walked up to him and said, “Did you really think your preparations would guarantee you good fortune? With your meager cultivation as a Golden Core cultivator? Or with that pile of stones with varying effects in your storage bag?”
“Acquiring the kind of good fortune that can change one’s fate isn’t so easily obtained.”
“But things are different now… Look, I’m a Tribulation Crossing expert, the master of the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics, personally preparing everything for you. I’m even backing you up from the rear. Doesn’t it seem like the price I’m asking for is a bit too cheap?”
Watching Yue Xuanji twirl cutely around him, Luo Wusheng had a feeling that she was tricking him, but he had no evidence.
But if he were to go by what this girl said, trading gemstones for the help of a Tribulation Crossing expert might indeed…
Hmm, he couldn’t accept that.
Putting aside the fact that he had only eighteen and a half pieces of Star-Moon Jade, even if he happened to have exactly twenty, he wouldn’t consider it.
Unless he had twenty-one pieces.
Besides, he felt that something about Yue Xuanji’s words was off.
As he contemplated, the little girl stopped in front of him, crouched down slightly, and gazed directly into Luo Wusheng’s eyes with her beautiful starry eyes.
“Of course, I know you don’t have enough Star-Moon Jade at the moment…”
Yue Xuanji tilted her head, and her eyes blinked. Her little face returned to the calm expression it had when she first met Luo Wusheng. “It’s okay. You can have credit here.”
Based on his experience from their conversation last night, Luo Wusheng could clearly sense a hint of amusement in her eyes.
But he smiled.
“…I thought it over a bit, and I think Miss Yue is quite reasonable. In such a crucial moment of obtaining good fortune, how could I be stingy with my belongings?”
“These twenty pieces of Star-Moon Jade, consider them borrowed from Miss Yue. I will definitely repay you in the future!”
Of course, the specific time date of when he would repay it is unspecified, so there is nothing wrong with him giving it to her a million years later, right?
“You really know how to do business… Well, whatever, since my mood is quite good today, I’ll agree to your proposal.”
Seeing through Luo Wusheng’s odd thoughts about whoring for nothing, Yue Xuanji merely squinted her eyes slightly and waved her hand in a nonchalant manner, seemingly unsurprised.
Luo Wusheng, on the other hand, wasn’t surprised by this outcome either.
After all, the current owner of the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics had bought this unremarkable little inn half a day early for his own preparations. If it wasn’t for his benefit, Luo Wusheng couldn’t imagine any other possibility.
…That’s right, this inn was transferred to Yue Xuanji just this morning.
She took advantage of the fact that Luo Wusheng was sound asleep to get ahead of him and secure the inn.
Even the dream he had last night was part of her scheme.
During this time, she efficiently cleared out the original guests from the inn and gave the employees a half-day break. Finally, she set up various mystical methods within the inn, waiting for his arrival.
Every step was planned clearly, and it was truly terrifying how precise it all was.
Thinking about it this way, that sham diviner, Gao Shi, was indeed a disgrace among diviners. He truly lived up to being an anomaly within the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics.
But then again, Yue Xuanji’s appearance this time did indeed exceed Luo Wusheng’s expectations.
According to his experiences from reading cultivation novels in his past life, it was rare to see a behind-the-scenes figure of her caliber take the initiative to step into the spotlight, especially when he had just met her last night and received directions for his next steps.
He appreciated this direct and efficient approach of acting as a nanny.
(And this also indicates that the so-called good fortune I gained this time is necessary for her… Does it mean that the changed fate of mine will hold greater value for her?)
Luo Wusheng pondered silently in his mind, but verbally he said, “Since Miss Yue is in a good mood, why not tell me more? Perhaps more details about this good fortune or shed some light on the nature of the seed beyond my Golden Core?”
While he had the opportunity, he also intended to extract more information from the master of the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics.
Moreover, now that he had calmed down, he noticed that the seed of aura, the qi fortune seed, had exhibited unusual activity when facing Yue Xuanji as well.
If he followed his previous speculation, did this mean that Yue Xuanji was indeed a character of protagonist-level significance?
Surely enough, the original author, that old writer, wouldn’t let Little Yuli off the hook.
“One question, nineteen pieces of Star-Moon Jade… This time, credit is not allowed.”
The white-haired ancient loli sat on the small wooden platform, her shoeless feet gently swaying, and spoke calmly.
Luo Wusheng, who had just entertained the thought of freeloading, silently recoiled.
Why was this girl always fixated on the few pieces of Star-Moon Jade in his hand? As the dignified master of the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics, shouldn’t she have a bit more magnanimity?
However, judging from her demeanor, it seemed that she really had no intention of revealing any more information to him.
As he pondered this, something directly fell into his embrace.
Luo Wusheng looked down and found a small jade slip.
“What’s this?”
“As I mentioned before, this inn now belongs to you. The jade slip contains records of some preparations I’ve made for you, which you will find useful in due time… However, you can only check it after four days. By then, you will know what to do.”
Listening to Yue Xuanji’s explanation, Luo Wusheng nodded thoughtfully.
The master of the Tower of Heavenly Mechanics was still playing mysterious.
Just as this thought arose, he was stunned.
“Well… Now that the miscellaneous matters are finally dealt with, it’s time to do something substantial…”
The ancient legal loli in front of him stretched lazily, and with a gentle wave of the hand adorned with the Star-Moon Jade Chain, a small storage pouch appeared in her hand.
That design…
Luo Wusheng instinctively looked at his own waist, then instantly confirmed that the storage pouch Yue Xuanji held was the same one the little fox demon empress used to carry.
When he connected it to her mention of “substantial matters”… Could it be that the transaction between the fox empress and her hadn’t concluded yet? In comparison, were his own affairs merely “miscellaneous matters”?
So he curiously looked at Yue Xuanji, wondering what this ancient legal loli was up to.
But he saw a rare spark of excitement on the face of the white-haired loli. She licked her dried lips with her rosy little tongue.
In the next moment, a small fox with faint red fur landed on her lap.
“Haha! Silly fox, always pretending to be mature. Today, it’s finally your turn to fall into my hands!”
