Chapter 27

For instance, the moment they entered the Spirit Treasure Pavilion, the Spirit Butterfly-wing Robes on display made both her and Ye Qingyao's eyes light up. They were gorgeous! Worn on the back, those shimmering, multicolored butterfly wings not only dazzled the eye but could carry a person into the air.

It would be like turning into a butterfly fairy in an instant~

So Ye Zhenzhen bought a yellow Spirit Butterfly-wing Robe, and Ye Qingyao bought a green one. They were in such high spirits they could have flown through the rest of the pavilion.

The two of them went on to buy more than a dozen Robes and several boxes of Ornaments. Ye Qingyao picked out a hat that scattered snowflakes for herself, then chose all kinds of hair ties for her little junior sister's tiny pigtails. Some could shape the pigtails into hearts, while others could change their color—even to rainbow hues.

More than anything, Ye Qingyao wished her little junior sister's hair would grow faster. Then she could show off her skills and dress her up as the cutest little girl in the entire Cultivation World.

When they entered the second showroom, the array of sleek, fashionable Flying Boats was enough to make their eyes spin.

Shen Xingyan's Golden Dragon Flying Ship, Red Carp Flying Ship, Illusory Moon Flying Ship, Divine Bird Flying Ship, and Beetle Flying Ship were all there. And there were even more astonishing Flying Boats to open their eyes, including the Flame Phoenix Flying Ship, Nine-Tailed Fox Flying Ship, Golden-Haired Lion King Flying Ship, and Deep-Sea Monster Flying Ship.

Ye Qingyao liked the Nine-Tailed Fox Flying Ship best. Nine great, fluffy white tails trailed behind it. Just imagining them unfurling like flowers, glowing with shifting colors among the clouds, was wonderful.

Ye Zhenzhen's favorite was the Golden-Haired Lion King Flying Ship. Despite its name, it was really a big cat covered in golden fur, soft and silky to the touch. Stroke its head and it would even rumble a little purr. What could lift someone's spirits faster?

Buy, buy, buy!

We're rich anyway!

With a wave of her little hand, Ye Zhenzhen decided to snap up more than twenty Flying Boats. Seeing how freely they spent, the pavilion master gave them a package price: five million Superior Spirit Stones.

Good. Now even Shen Xingyan doesn't have as many Flying Boats as we do. Ye Zhenzhen felt this was the happiest moment since she had entered the book. She absolutely loved this nouveau-riche way of buying whatever she wanted.

Even better, when she had Ye Qingchuan show the pavilion master the treasures they had found in the Illusory Forest, he not only took no money from them but paid them several million Superior Spirit Stones instead. In exchange, he bought a bunch of Fire Spirit Grass, several handfuls of Moonlight Flowers, a stalk of Millennium Earth Ganoderma, and a Millennium Phoenix Spirit Fruit.

Now that felt good.

They were delighted, and so was the pavilion master. Every one of them wore the look of someone who had found a treasure.

Footsteps suddenly sounded. A familiar figure in a hood strode in, his condescending air shattering the cheerful atmosphere in an instant.

"Ayao, I never expected to see you here too. Do you like Flying Boats? Look, I have the Golden Dragon Flying Ship, Red Carp Flying Ship, Illusory Moon Flying Ship, Divine Bird Flying Ship, and Beetle Flying Ship." Shen Xingyan smugly took his years of collecting out of his Heaven-and-Earth Ring.

Damn it. He got to show off.

But you may have kicked an iron plate. Curled in Ye Qingyao's arms, Ye Zhenzhen swung her little legs and smiled until her eyes curved.

Shen Xingyan had expected gasps of awe and envy. Instead, no one cried "Wow," "Heavens," or "Oh my god." No one looked the least bit jealous. Even the Spirit Treasure Pavilion's master barely reacted and seemed less deferential than before.

"You'd never even seen a Flying Boat before. Now that you've finally got one, you must have no idea how to choose among so many. I have more than a dozen Flying Boats. If you want to try one, I can take you out for a ride," Shen Xingyan reminded them "kindly." "You can only look at the Flying Boats here, not test-fly them. Buy at random and you'll just waste your money."

Grown-ups made choices. Children wanted everything.

Expressionless, Ye Qingchuan pulled their newly purchased Flying Boats—all twenty-plus of them—from his new Heaven-and-Earth Ring. "What a coincidence. We have every one you have."

"And we have the ones you don't, too."

Shen Xingyan: I'm so awesome and so rich. Aren't you dying to love me?

Ye Qingyao: Your dozen or so Flying Boats are small fry next to our twenty-plus.

Chapter 27

Shen Xingyan had come to the Spirit Treasure Pavilion for two reasons. First, he wanted to find a wig to restore his mighty, handsome, unrivaled image. Second, he wanted a chance to humiliate Ye Qinghui.

Instead, he had barely stepped inside before a child outdid him. His face went from red to green, a remarkable sight. The junior disciples behind him nearly hurt themselves holding back their laughter.

Shamelessly, Shen Xingyan followed Ye Qinghui and the others, waiting for a chance to win back some ground.

In the Artifact hall, Ye Qinghui carried Ye Zhenzhen as he browsed the dazzling assortment. When they reached the flying-needle section, the little dumpling remembered Jiang Kui's Golden Centipede Silver Needles. She craned her neck and widened her eyes, plainly eager to see all the different kinds.

"Zhenzhen, do you want to look at the flying needles?" Ye Qinghui asked.

The little dumpling nodded vigorously. Yes, eldest senior brother! You all have swords to protect yourselves, but I can't even lift one, and I don't have any weapon for self-defense. I could try flying needles, though.

"Your eldest senior brother can protect you. You don't need to worry." Ye Qinghui gently tapped her little nose with a fingertip, a faint smile appearing on his cool, handsome face.

But you can't protect me every moment, and I don't want to be a burden to you. Ye Zhenzhen stuck her little tongue out at him. I want to grow up too. I want to get stronger, so one day I can protect you all.

Seeing their interest, an Immortal Attendant came over warmly and took out one set of flying needles after another, explaining each in detail.

Snow-Soul Ice Needles, Snake Venom Needles, Bone-Breaking Needle, Paralysis Needle, Hallucination Needle... Every kind had its own marvelous use. Ye Zhenzhen could hardly take them all in.

When the attendant introduced the Red Lotus Flower-Burial Needles, her eyes widened. They were crimson as blood, with flickering flames rippling across their surface. One glance told her they were no ordinary needles. The Immortal Attendant said that once they spun through the air, they would become a blazing red lotus and unleash Red Lotus Karmic Fire, burning all things in the world. Humans, ghosts, gods, and devils alike were no match for it.
