Chapter 291: Chapter 291 Minister under the Skirt (13)
Chuzheng didn’t know what Black Xuan Stone was.
But she was certain it could be spent.
Otherwise, the King’s Account wouldn’t have put it up.
In this realm, it seed that dealing with these ssy stones was expected.
Chuzheng found a city, the closest one to where the Secret Realm opened. Inside, everyone was discussing the Secret Realm.
Today was the last day of the Secret Realm, and from the sounds of it, if it weren’t for the random teleportation upon exiting, these people would probably be lying in wait to rob others.
So, the broken Secret Realm was actually looking out for those inside?
Chuzheng was so frustrated she couldn’t stand it, her whole being radiated a capital letter of indifference.
“Isn’t that Jingyuan’s Grand Imperial Princess? Why is she alone…”
“She must have been separated from her companions upon exiting.”
“Does she have any valuables on her?”
“I don’t know, let’s follow her and see…”
“Chu Yingyu is not weak, if she’s not alone, it could bring us trouble.”
“What are you afraid of, we’re not doing anything, just following her to take a look.”
A few people sneakily followed behind Chuzheng.
As Chuzheng walked down the street, many people pointed and whispered about her.
This was Jingyuan Country, where many recognized Chu Yingyu.
The groups tailing her had grown in number, but Chuzheng was too lazy to bother with them since they did not act.
Chuzheng randomly picked a shop to enter.
“Oh, Her Royal Highness the Princess, please co in.”
Chuzheng couldn’t be bothered to correct them, that she was not Chu Yingyu.
Who would have thought that damned creature would look so much like her.
“What does Her Royal Highness wish to purchase?” The Shopkeeper ca forward, enthusiastic yet respectful, “Please have a look around. Our shop may be small, but the rchandise is of fine quality.”
Chuzheng glanced around, “It really is small.”
The Shopkeeper: “…”
His comnt had rely been a polite remark.
“What Her Royal Highness said is true.” The Shopkeeper, an astute man, imdiately went along with her comnt.
The shop sold dicinal herbs and Elixir Pills, which made Chuzheng dizzy just looking at them. Barely maintaining her indifferent facade, she pointed at sothing on a high shelf, “That.”
That item was placed at the highest spot, and it was set off by nurous other items — it had to be valuable!
The Shopkeeper’s expression beca slightly strange, but when Chuzheng looked his way, he put on a smile and took down the small bottle.
“Your Highness, this should not be consud in excess.”
“I’m not eating it.”
“Yes, of course, it’s not for Your Highness to consu.” The Shopkeeper nodded, “The effects are quite potent, so Your Highness should be careful when using it.”
Chuzheng: “…”
I really won’t eat it!
“Is this enough?” Chuzheng passed the Black Xuan Stone to the Shopkeeper.
Upon seeing the Black Xuan Stone, the Shopkeeper’s legs went weak with fear, cold sweat breaking out instantly, “Your Highness, this little thing is not valuable, please take it as a gift, a gift.”
The Princess must surely be testing him!
Is this sothing he could even accept?
Black Xuan Stone, ah!
This thing could buy his entire shop! No, even the entire city would not be a problem!
Chuzheng placed the Black Xuan Stone on the counter.
The Shopkeeper dared not take it, “Your Highness, aren’t you taking my life? Please stop joking with .”
“Trade.” Chuzheng shook the small bottle in her hand.
“But Your Highness…”
“Your Highness!”
The Shopkeeper chased after Chuzheng as she left, his desperate deanor made the onlookers think she had taken sothing without paying.
The Shopkeeper went back to the shop, his heart pounding with fear.
Such a hot potato, the Shopkeeper dared not keep.
Imdiately, he contacted a well-known forging family in the city to dispose of the Black Xuan Stone.
Sohow, 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 dicine.
How valuable must that dicine be?
But after inquiries, the shop she went into wasn’t large, and it seed 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 ca back for him, and he’d sold it, that’d spell disaster.
Chuzheng was really annoyed.
She said many tis 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 ga settings you’ve got are quite reasonable.”
[…]When it’s to your advantage, you call it reasonable, when it’s not, you curse 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, seed sowhat 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 sohow 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 sa, 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 ans 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 scread 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.
anwhile, not far from the room’s entrance, a certain beast hiding its presence said, “…”
Can’t you two be serious for a mont!
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 sothing.
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 sowhat confused, the woman’s lips parted lightly, “You’re the one who broke the table.”
The large bird: “…”
