- Chapter 129: Yue Xuanji "Real Business"
To be honest, Luo Wusheng never expected that he would meet Yue Xuanji this soon.
After all, the other party is a mighty Peak Tribulation Crossing expert, the Tower Master of the Heavenly Divination Tower whose every move she made are done after careful consideration with the help of her expertise in the [Art of Divination], Was it really fine for her to be acting like this before him?
And furthermore, 20 Star-Moon Jade?
In total, he had only made 23 Star-Moon Jade back in the Ancient Heavenly Gate. Now, one piece was given to Little Yuli, one to Bai Xiaoyao, one to Yao Ji, one to the bratty grandma in front of him previous night, and he even gave one to Miss Kirin in his dreams last night, wait, should that last one count as half a piece, instead?
Moving on, In other words, he currently only had 18 ½ pieces of Star-Moon Jade left. Where could he find 1 ½ Star-Moon Jade to trade for a rundown inn?
Come to think of it, did this ancient loli even know what kind of value a normal jade has? Is that why she wants him to give her 20? Did she really think he had a thousand of it?
While thinking of such a thing, Luo Wusheng’s lips twitched.
“Miss Yue, please don’t joke—”
“I’m not joking.”
The white-haired grandma tittle her petite head to the side and casually shaked her arm softly. With the clear sound of the Star-Moon Jade rattling against her soft skin, immense pressure fell on top of him, making Luo Wusheng once again find himself sitting on the ground.
The little girl hopped off the wooden platform, satisfied with her work. She walked up to him and said, “Did you really think those little things you called ‘preparation’ would do you any good, let me tell you in advance, they did nothing.”
“Acquiring a good luck great enough to change one course of fate is not something that someone like the current you can do, the future you in 2 months, 13 days, 21 hours and 15 minutes and beyond can already do it, but as of you right now, not a chance.”
“But fret not, look, this great Tower Master with her Peak Tribulation Crossing foundation would grant you her aid, I had personally prepared everything that you could possibly need for you. I would even give you moral support and cheer you up by your rear, and if you did good, perhaps some other support could also be given. Doesn’t it seem like the price I’m asking for is a bit too small?”
Watching Yue Xuanji twirl cutely around him, Luo Wusheng had a feeling that she was trying to get one over him, but he had no evidence.
But if he were to go by what this girl said, trading Star-Moon Jade stones for the help of a Peak Tribulation Crossing expert who can see the past, present, and the future might indeed be worth it.
But he couldn’t accept that.
Putting aside the fact that he had only 18 ½ pieces of Star-Moon Jade left, even if he happened to have exactly 20 of them, he wouldn’t consider it.
Unless he had 21 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 already know that you don’t have enough Star-Moon Jade, at this time, you should only have 18 of them.”
Yue Xuanji tilted her head to the side cutely, 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 do… Um… What is that thing you would tell me?… Ah–! Yes, You can put a tab on it first.”
Despite his lack of experience in talking with this white haired brat, for some strange reason, he can clearly feel her amusement.
And again, he felt that he had just gotten cheated, but he didn’t know what he got cheated off, so in the end, he did the only thing he can do at that moment.
He smiled.
“…I thought it over a bit, and I think Miss Yue’s price is quite reasonable. I’m in such a precarious moment that would determine my future, how could I be stingy?”
“Okay, in the future, I promise to give Miss Yue her promised 20 Star-Moon Jade.”
Of course, the specific time date of when he would give her is unspecified, so there is nothing wrong with him giving it to her a million years later, right?
“Sigh~ I already saw it in advance, but you are truly a shameless boy, but still… Fine, since I’m in a good mood, I would agree to your proposal.”
Despite knowing the unspoken part of Luo Wusheng’s promise, Yue Xuanji merely squinted her eyes slightly in displeasure, and waved her hand in a nonchalant manner, clearly not surprised nor believing his answer, not unlike how a wife would act when they hear their husband promised to quit smoking, again.
Luo Wusheng, on the other hand, wasn’t surprised by this outcome either.
After all, the Tower Master of the Heavenly Divination Tower had bought this unremarkable little inn half a day early just to give it to him.
—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 something that she had a hand in.
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 secret techniques within the inn, and sat patiently waiting for his arrival.
Every step was planned clearly, it was truly terrifying how precise it all was.
Thinking about it this way, that fake Diviner, Gao Shi, was indeed a disgrace among Diviners. He truly lived up to being an anomaly within the Heavenly Divination Tower.
Come to think of it, that anomaly is probably the only reason why Yue Xuanji took Gao Shi as her direct disciple.
Still, Yue Xuanji’s appearance this time did indeed exceed Luo Wusheng’s expectations.
According to his experiences from reading various Xianxia 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.
Not that he would complain, he much prefers this direct and efficient approach of acting as a nanny.
‘And this also indicates that the so-called good luck that I would gain this time is something that she would also benefit from— Does it mean that if I can change the course of my fate, it would bring more benefit for her in the long run?’
Luo Wusheng pondered silently in his mind, but verbally he said, “Since Miss Yue is in a good mood, why not tell me more about what miss has seen? Perhaps more details about how can I benefit better from this good luck or shed some light on the nature of the seed planted around my Golden Core?”
While he had the opportunity, he also intended to extract more information from the Tower Master of the Heavenly Divination Tower.
Moreover, now that he had calmed down, he noticed that the seed of luck had exhibited unusual activity when facing Yue Xuanji as well.
If he followed his previous thought process, did this mean that Yue Xuanji was also someone who has enough plot relevant as Lu Yuliu and Bai Xiaoyao?
Sure enough, the original author, that naughty bastard, would definitely not miss the chance to put the oldest character in the setting who look like a loli into Lu Yuliu harem if given one.
“19 Star-Moon Jade per question, no tab allowed.”
Spoke the white-haired grandma, now sitting on a small wooden table, her shoeless feet gently swaying.
Luo Wusheng, who had just entertained obtaining some good info for free, silently recoiled.
Why was this girl always fixated on the few pieces of Star-Moon Jade in his hand? As the dignified Tower Master of the Heavenly Divination Tower, 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 Tower Master of the Heavenly Divination Tower still love to talk in riddle.
Just as this thought arose, he was stunned.
“Well… Now that the miscellaneous matters are finally dealt with, it’s time to do something important…”
The ancient grandma in front of him stretched lazily, similar to how a cat would, and with a gentle wave of her hand adorned with the Star-Moon Jade bracelet, a small storage pouch appeared in her hand.
‘That pouch..’
Luo Wusheng instinctively looked at the storage pouch of his own waist, then instantly confirmed that the storage pouch Yue Xuanji held was the same one that are being used to carry the little pink fox around.
When he connected it to her mention of “something important”… Could it be that the transaction between the fox girl and this little brat hadn’t concluded yet?
So he curiously looked at Yue Xuanji, wondering what this thousand year old grandma was up to.
Luo Wusheng saw a spark of excitement on the eyes of the white-haired brat. And then she licked her lips with her rosy little tongue.
In the next moment, a small fox with pink fur landed on her lap.
“Haha! Silly fox, you think your big boob and thick ass is important in the grand scheme of things!? Today, your fate is in my hand!”
