The Shop Opens on the Third Day!

After Yun Yun told Nalan Yanran about Yun Shan's decision in the main hall, Nalan Yanran immediately fell silent.

"Master, I definitely won't let you or Grandmaster down."

After a long while, Nalan Yanran slowly spoke, her tone exceptionally firm.

She was deeply moved. She had thought her grandmaster would take away her Jar, but instead, he had given the two Jars that belonged to him to her.

While this moved Nalan Yanran, it also filled her with shame.

She had truly judged a gentleman by the standards of a petty person this time.

"Mm."

Seeing the determined look on Nalan Yanran's face, Yun Yun felt somewhat gratified. Though this girl was usually rather mischievous, she was sensible when it mattered.

"Your grandmaster's wish is to break through to the Dou Zong realm."

"From now on, master and disciple will work together. We must open a treasure that can raise one's cultivation and fulfill your grandmaster's wish." Yun Yun looked at Nalan Yanran with her beautiful eyes and spoke solemnly.

"Mm."

Nalan Yanran nodded heavily, clenching her small fist as she vowed, "Master, I definitely won't let you or Grandmaster down."

Nalan Yanran remained very confident in her own luck.

So far, she had only opened two Jars: the Devouring Ancestral Talisman and that Round Shield. Both were treasures rarely seen in the world.

She believed that she would open even better treasures tomorrow.

Grandmaster, just rest assured. I'll definitely help you break through to the Dou Zong realm as you wish.

Thinking of how her grandmaster had given his two Jars to her to open, Nalan Yanran's resolve became incomparably firm.

Then, Nalan Yanran suddenly thought of a crucial problem. Her delicate brows furrowed slightly as she looked at Yun Yun. Her expression abruptly turned bashful, and she softly asked, "Master, could you do me a favor?"

Yun Yun was taken aback, then nodded. "What favor? Tell me. As long as I can do it, I'll definitely agree."

"Master, I knew you were the best. This disciple will never make you angry again."

Nalan Yanran's eyes lit up, and her face was full of emotion.

Yun Yun looked gratified. This silly girl had finally grown up.

Affectionately, she patted Nalan Yanran on the head, then said gently, "Go on. What is it? I'll definitely help you."

Nalan Yanran nodded and said, "Master, I only have one hundred thousand Gold Coins left. Could you lend me another two hundred thousand Gold Coins first..."

Although she was the eldest daughter of the Nalan Clan, she was still only the eldest daughter. Having several hundred thousand Gold Coins in spending money was already astonishing, but tomorrow's three Jars would require another three hundred thousand Gold Coins, so Nalan Yanran was naturally struggling.

Yet before Nalan Yanran could finish speaking, Yun Yun had already vanished from before her eyes.

Nalan Yanran froze. Master, hadn't you agreed so readily just now?

Why did you run off before I even finished speaking?

She instantly panicked and chased after her. "Master, just lend me two hundred thousand Gold Coins. I'll pay you back after a while."

The next day.

Just like yesterday, as soon as dawn broke, Yun Shan brought Yun Yun and Nalan Yanran to the entrance of the shop.

Although he knew Ye Yun would not open so early, Yun Shan still insisted on arriving early.

In his view, this was a sign of respect for Boss Ye.

A mysterious and powerful person like Boss Ye had to be shown the utmost respect.

Thus, ignoring Nalan Yanran and Yun Yun's objections, he forcibly made the two women come with him to queue up early.

Though Nalan Yanran and Yun Yun had plenty of complaints, they could only obediently keep quiet in the face of Yun Shan's authority.

Gu He arrived a little later.

With yesterday's experience, he knew that the shop probably would not open this early either.

But he feared that if he arrived late, the Jar that belonged to him would be opened by Yun Shan and the others, so he hurried over.

When he saw Yun Shan and the others still waiting in line, Gu He immediately felt relieved. Fortunately, he had not arrived late.

"Old Sect Master, why did you come so early? Boss Ye won't open this early," Gu He said to the three of them.

Yun Shan said solemnly, "Boss Ye is an expert from the higher realm. There must be a reason for doing this. Waiting here in advance displays our respect for him. Perhaps if Boss Ye is pleased, he may even grant us some benefits."

"Benefits?"

"Old Sect Master, isn't that a bit exaggerated?"

Gu He was somewhat dismissive of Yun Shan's words. In his view, Ye Yun did not even seem willing to sell more Jars, and he only opened for half an hour each day. He was clearly just used to being lazy. What deeper meaning could there be?

Seeing that Gu He did not believe him, Yun Shan shook his head and said no more.

Afterward, the four of them quietly waited outside the shop.

It was nearly noon when Nalan Yanran could no longer hold out. She had not eaten breakfast, and her cultivation was not high enough for her to go without food like the others.

So, she directly took out a cup of Instant Noodles from her Storage Ring, brought out the boiling water she had prepared beforehand, sat cross-legged on the ground, and began soaking the noodles.

Seeing this, Yun Yun's heart stirred. She also sat down cross-legged beside her. "Yanran, share some boiling water with your master."

As she spoke, she also took a cup of Instant Noodles from her Storage Ring.

"Hmph, no."

Nalan Yanran gave a delicate snort and directly refused.

"What? I only lent you two hundred thousand Gold Coins last night, and now you can't even spare me a little boiling water?"

Hearing this, Yun Yun narrowed her phoenix eyes, somewhat displeased. With a hint of threat in her voice, she said, "Fine, then return my two hundred thousand Gold Coins."

Nalan Yanran immediately grew anxious and said indignantly, "I borrowed that from you with a cup of Instant Noodles as interest. How can you take it back just like that?"

"Fine, I'll just give you some boiling water." Under Yun Yun's oppressive might, Nalan Yanran had no choice but to yield.

She opened the package of Instant Noodles in her hand, her heart aching terribly.

Because of the borrowing matter last night, her master had extorted another cup of Instant Noodles from her. Now she only had two cups left. After eating this one, she would have only one remaining.

Nalan Yanran secretly decided that she would carefully treasure the last cup of Instant Noodles and only take it out to eat when she truly could not endure it any longer.

At that moment, Yun Shan noticed what the two were doing. Seeing the Instant Noodles in their hands, he was immediately reminded of the feeling of eating them yesterday. It had been an experience unlike anything he had ever had.

So he said to Yun Yun, "Do you have any more? Give your master a cup too."

He did not know that Nalan Yanran had also gone to the shop last night, so he naturally assumed the Instant Noodles had been taken out by Yun Yun.

Yun Yun was stunned for a moment, then looked at Nalan Yanran. A smile appeared at the corner of her lips as she said, "Yanran, your grandmaster gave you all of today's Jars. Shouldn't you treat him to a cup of Instant Noodles?"

Hearing this, Nalan Yanran was stunned, then nearly burst into tears.
