Junior Sister Lu, You Can't Say That

"Isn't he right here? He doesn't have a common face, so how is it so hard to find him once he blends into the crowd?"

He Han's voice from Divine Peak sounded from behind, followed by a heavy pat on the shoulder.

Zhou Qing turned his head and saw He Han looking at him with a look of disdain, while beside him was Lu Yaoyao, her face full of surprise and confusion.

She had circled this area three times just now, so why hadn't she found Senior Brother Zhou?

It was too strange.

Zhou Qing subconsciously looked at Lu Yaoyao's expression, and a sudden joy surged in his heart.

Now that his innate skill, Reduce Presence, had reached level three, it meant that even Golden Core Realm powerhouses like Third Senior Brother would start to overlook him.

Let alone Lu Yaoyao, who was only in the Qi Condensation Realm; even a peak Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator would have a 90% chance of overlooking him.

This way, it could save him a lot of trouble.

Wait, it doesn't seem like there was much trouble anyway, and if I have no presence, neither she nor Li Daoxuan can provide me with Heart Insight Points.

This is truly contradictory!

"Junior Sister Lu, is something wrong?" Zhou Qing asked, holding the chicken.

Lu Yaoyao said anxiously, "Something urgent, very urgent. Profound Abyss Sister is returning to the Azure Feather Immortal Sect tomorrow."

Zhou Qing and He Han were both stunned.

"No, if she's going back, she's going back. What does that have to do with me?" Zhou Qing asked, puzzled.

Lu Yaoyao opened her mouth, unsure how to explain for a moment.

"Then, then she's leaving, don't you want to treat her to a meal?" Lu Yaoyao looked at Zhou Qing.

Zhou Qing's face couldn't help but twitch.

"Big sister, it's not that serious, is it? I just ate two leftover breakfasts from you guys. There's no need to treat her in return, right? Besides, inviting a giant like her to eat, do you know how much a meal would cost?" Zhou Qing said speechlessly.

Lu Yaoyao quickly said, "That's not what I mean. Don't you think Profound Abyss Sister is very beautiful? Don't you have that kind of feeling in your heart?"

Lu Yaoyao made an ambiguous gesture with her two thumbs.

As soon as she said this, He Han, who was beside her, quickly covered her mouth, then suddenly felt it was inappropriate and immediately let go.

"Junior Sister Lu, you shouldn't say things like that."

Zhou Qing retreated in horror.

A trap!

This is a huge trap that can bury someone alive at any moment!

Are you trying to set me up with Profound Abyss Immortal?

Crazy!

Truly crazy!

How old am I, and how old is she?

What's more, didn't you hear that Si Kong Yan, the Palace Master of Azure Flame Dao Palace, is pursuing her?

Are you asking me to steal his woman?

"Senior Brother He, please manage your Junior Sister. I'm still young and want to live a few more years," Zhou Qing was too lazy to talk to Lu Yaoyao anymore and said directly to He Han.

At this moment, He Han, who was originally unhappy with Zhou Qing, looked completely embarrassed.

Lu Yaoyao was a little unwilling and said, "Don't you want to try and fight for it? What if you succeed?"

"Big Sister, I've only met her twice, and both times were because you called me. From beginning to end, she barely even looked at me. Where am I supposed to fight for it? Bah, why am I even telling you this? Impossible, this is impossible!"

Zhou Qing directly refused!

Heart Insight Points +9

The [So Naive] above Lu Yaoyao's head directly turned into [So Cowardly].

Zhou Qing turned around and left.

It was simply too crazy. He didn't know what kind of wild fantasies she was having all day.

He decided it was better to stay away from her in the future, otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he died.

In the evening, Zhou Qing, who had returned to his room, took out a Low-Grade Spirit Stone. As silver patterns appeared on his right hand, he slapped it down, and the Spirit Stone immediately turned into rice-sized particles.

Zhou Qing carefully sprinkled them in front of the old hen, straightened its head, and it immediately started pecking rapidly.

In just a moment, it ate the Spirit Stone particles completely clean.

Zhou Qing observed it secretly for a long time, and after confirming there were no accidents, he crushed three more in succession. Only then did it look full, casually moved to a corner by the wall, and fell asleep.

"I don't know how long it saved up for that Spirit Egg before. Now that it's directly eating Spirit Stones, it should be much faster."

Zhou Qing muttered to himself, then ignored it, returned to his room, and took out the Top-Grade Water Attribute Spirit Stone to begin cultivating.

Early the next morning, Zhou Qing rushed to the chicken coop to check, but unfortunately, there was nothing.

"I was still too impatient!"

However, today the old hen seemed to be the same as usual, pecking around blindly with poor eyesight.

He had seen during the appraisal yesterday that it was good to take it for walks when idle to keep it in a happy mood. Perhaps the probability of laying eggs would also increase significantly.

Zhou Qing re-tied the rope and began walking the chicken.

"Let's go, let's go! There's only half a month left until the Five Sects Treasure Exchange Gathering. All my junk has been sold. Maybe there will be good things recently. Senior Brother will take you to broaden your horizons!"

Yan Xiaohu excitedly called out to Zhou Qing and headed straight down the mountain.

Zhou Qing also planned to use his new talent skill [Daily Appraisal] to try his luck. Maybe he could find another bargain. Even if not, he could at least eliminate a "wrong answer."

Indeed, Flame Dragon City was even more lively today than it had been recently, and there were many more stalls.

"Let's go, I'll take you to a place. The ones setting up stalls are all True Disciples and Core Disciples from the five major sects. The things they have are all solid goods!"

Yan Xiaohu pulled Zhou Qing towards one of the directions.

As expected, upon entering this distinct area, the place immediately quieted down considerably.

Unlike the stalls outside, where haggling and shouting were constant.

The stall owners, just as Third Senior Brother had said, sat calmly behind their stalls, their auras steady. Almost everything was clearly priced.

Take it if you want it, leave it if you don't. They weren't worried about selling.

"Excuse me, Senior Brother, how much is this piece of Dream Illusion Profound Copper?"

Soon, Yan Xiaohu arrived at a stall and couldn't help but ask the price of the fist-sized ore in front of him.

The stall owner was dressed in lightning-patterned clothing, likely a Core Disciple of the Golden Thunder Sect. At the very least, the invisible pressure he exuded made Zhou Qing feel a tightness in his chest.

"Thirty Mid-Grade Spirit Stones!" the man said indifferently.

Yan Xiaohu frowned.

Spirit Stones were divided into four grades: High, Mid, Low, and Top-Grade, based on the impurities and purity of the spiritual energy within them.

Generally speaking, the exchange rate was 1:100.

This meant that one Mid-Grade Spirit Stone was equal to one hundred Low-Grade Spirit Stones. This piece of Dream Illusion Profound Copper was actually worth three thousand Low-Grade Spirit Stones.

This made Zhou Qing secretly click his tongue. As expected, the good stuff was starting to appear, completely incomparable to his previous small-scale dealings.

Yan Xiaohu hesitated for a moment, then finally chose to give up.

It was too expensive!

Zhou Qing continued to follow Third Senior Brother, leading the old hen. Soon, he actually saw Senior Sister Shi Zhen; she was also setting up a stall here.

"Two Junior Brothers, you're here!" Senior Sister Shi Zhen greeted them with a smile.

Seeing the note [Naive Junior Brother Zhou] above Senior Sister Shi Zhen's head, Zhou Qing awkwardly pulled the old hen closer.

The old hen immediately came over and started pecking at Zhou Qing's instep with a cluck cluck cluck.

Yan Xiaohu, looking at the items on the stall, couldn't help but be surprised: "Senior Sister Shi, I didn't expect you to be so hidden. You can even get your hands on Violet Ancient Rock and Azure Treasure Jade. Amazing!"

Shi Zhen smiled and said, "I obtained these by chance a few years ago while traveling for training. Are you interested, Junior Brother Yan?"

Yan Xiaohu quickly waved his hand. The items were good, but he didn't need them at the moment.

"Senior Brother Zhou, you're here!"

Just as Zhou Qing was curiously examining the good items on Senior Sister Shi Zhen's stall, a voice suddenly came from behind him.

Thanks to the big shot [I Leave My Name for Black Blood] for the 500 reward. Thank you for your support!
