Taking Firefly Shopping [Second Update] (Continued)

Ji Yuan nodded, both amused and exasperated.

He was also thinking about going to see the virtual Ruan Mei that night and having her participate in the discussion about Entropy Loss Syndrome.

Sushang led Firefly out after she changed her clothes. Firefly was wearing Sushang's clothes and boots, her hair was neatly combed, and she tried her best to stand up straight and look healthy.

Her height was similar to Sushang's, but she had an overall sickly appearance. Sushang's clothes were all smart and tailored, and when Firefly wore them, it was like Lin Daiyu wearing Lin Jiaotou's clothes—very incongruous.

"Let's go buy clothes."

Ji Yuan said to Firefly and Sushang.

"Good!"

Firefly nodded.

At the same time, she nervously gripped her small purse.

Sushang grabbed Firefly's shoulder and said excitedly, "Come on, I'm a local from Xianzhou, I know this place best."

As Sushang patted her like that, Firefly gave an awkward yet polite smile.

Ruan Mei waved for Ji Yuan and Firefly to leave. "You go ahead, I still have to do my experiments."

"Okay, let's take a stroll around the Xianzhou first."

Ji Yuan led Firefly and Sushang downstairs. However, Firefly's movements were still quite awkward. Seeing this, Ji Yuan extended his arm, gesturing for Firefly to grab his sleeve. Firefly grasped Ji Yuan's sleeve and let out a long sigh of relief.

With Firefly by his side, Ji Yuan came downstairs. Huohuo was sitting on the sofa, diligently practicing her magic. Seeing Ji Yuan come down with Firefly, she immediately felt a sense of crisis. However, upon hearing Ji Yuan explain Firefly's situation, her expression towards Firefly immediately turned to concern.

"The teacher is very capable; he will definitely cure you."

Huohuo said to Firefly.

"Mm." Firefly nodded. But then her attention was drawn to Huohuo's words, and she looked up at Ji Yuan and asked, "You're already taking on students at your age?"

"Yes, I not only have students, but I have two."

Upon hearing this, Huohuo pouted slightly, looking somewhat unhappy.

Before coming, she had received news from Lady Hanya that besides her, the teacher had another student, Bailu. Huohuo thought of Bailu's identity and abilities, and a sense of defeat rose in her heart.

If she didn't have complete faith in her teacher, she would have been afraid that Ji Yuan would abandon her.

System achievements appeared in Ji Yuan's mind.

[You infused a corpse with life force, enabling it to speak. The system rewards you with +10 corpse handling experience.]

Ji Yuan's movements stiffened slightly.

The four of them went out together.

Ji Yuan originally intended to head straight to Xianzhou's clothing store, but was stopped by Firefly.

"I need to go and exchange my money for Stellar Jade first. Otherwise, I won't have the money to pay."

"It's just an outfit, I'll pay for it."

He has several hundred million Credits in assets, so buying clothes is no big deal for him.

"No, that's definitely not going to work. You'd have to pay for it, I can't do it." Firefly shook her head very seriously.

She was extremely stubborn about this.

Finally, at Firefly's insistence, Ji Yuan and the others went to the place where they could exchange Stellar Jade.

The Interastral Peace Corporation has been promoting Credits throughout the universe, and in many places, currency has disappeared, leaving Credits payment. However, on the Xianzhou, people still habitually use Stellar Jade.

The company has also promoted Credits here quite a bit, but without daring to use force, it is really too difficult for Xianzhou to win a local war in a normal trade war.

When Firefly saw that Ji Yuan wanted to go in with her to exchange items, she quickly shook her head to stop him.

"No, no need, I'm fine on my own." Clutching her purse tightly, Firefly whispered to Ji Yuan.

"Okay, fine."

Ji Yuan glanced at his wallet and nodded silently.

Firefly went inside to exchange for Stellar Jade.

Soon, she walked out with a somewhat dejected expression.

A light blue ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress).

Ji Yuan glanced inside and immediately called Sushang to his side.

"Come here, Changchang, let me tell you something..."

"What's wrong?"

Ji Yuan asked Sushang to come closer and whispered a few words in her ear.

"I see."

Upon hearing Ji Yuan's words, Sushang immediately nodded and ran towards the clothing store not far away.

Firefly came out with her wallet, looking slightly dejected.

However, upon seeing Ji Yuan, she still smiled and said, "Let's go buy some clothes. Hmm? Where's Miss Sushang?"

"Her friend needs to see her about something, so we're going to the clothing store first. They'll be here in a bit."

"Uh-huh."

Ji Yuan and Firefly Huohuo arrived at the clothing store.

The store is filled with a wide variety of clothing in the Xianzhou style, with all kinds of styles available.

"Come on, Firefly, take a good look and see which one you want."

"No, there's no need to look at them." Firefly pointed to a moon-white dress in the corner. "That's fine, there's no need to look at the others."

The clothing has an old-fashioned and simple design; its only advantage is that it's cheap.

Just as Firefly was about to go over to buy clothes, the plump shopkeeper took another blue ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) and hung it up, marking it with an even cheaper price.

"Little girl, would you like to try this dress on? Today is my grandson's one-month birthday, and I specially brought out a dress on sale to celebrate. Here, try it on."

"This..."

Firefly was still hesitating, but the shop owner had already pulled her in to change it.

Sushang then came out from the side and gave her brother a reassuring look, Ji Yuan responded with a smile.

Soon, Firefly changed her clothes and came out.

Upon emerging, both Ji Yuan and Huohuo were immediately struck by their beauty.

Wearing a fitted Firefly didn't accentuate her heroic spirit, but this dress brought out her delicate and charming temperament.

Her light blue ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress) reached her waist, accentuating her slender figure. Underneath, she wore a white undergarment, and on top, a matching light blue outer garment. The hem of her skirt swayed gently with her steps, like a willow branch fluttering in the breeze. A hairpin adorned her hair, and the shopkeeper had kindly styled it in a Xianzhou fashion.

Ji Yuan looked at it and couldn't help but recall the description of Lin Daiyu.

Even a frail and sickly woman like Xi Shi is three points more beautiful.

Firefly was somewhat happy to see her reflection in the mirror.

She still asked the shop owner nervously, "Um, is this really a discount?"

"Of course."

The shop owner said with a smile.

Hearing her affirmation, Firefly finally felt relieved.

She left the clothing store after paying.

After leaving the clothing store, Ji Yuan intended to go home, but he was stopped again by Firefly.

"It's getting late. You brought me here, so I should at least treat you to a meal."

Firefly whispered to Ji Yuan.

"All right."

Ji Yuan thought for a moment and nodded in agreement.

Then, he went straight to a small noodle shop by the roadside. As he walked there, he said to Firefly, "Firefly, come on, let's go to this shop."

"Actually, we could have gone to a better one."

"When it comes to eating out, it's the little shops with history that make it interesting."

Ji Yuan said to Firefly.

"Um."

Firefly nodded.

"Welcome, everyone."

The shop owner went to greet them.

Looking at the menu items listed in the shop, Firefly thought for a moment, gritted her teeth, and ordered the two most expensive dishes.

"What else would you like to eat?"

After lighting the Firefly, Liu Ying turned to Ji Yuan and asked.

"Another bowl of vegetarian noodles would be fine. I've been celebrating the victory for the past few days, so I'm planning to eat something light these days."

"Me too."

Huohuo said earnestly with her little face.

Firefly walked up to the shop owner, thought for a moment, and said to him, "Then give me three bowls..."

"Five bowls of noodles, please!"

Sushang walked in at this moment, and Guinaifen also came over beside her.

"What kind of noodles would you like?"

Firefly asked Sushang.

Sushang replied, "We're the same. Little Gui performed acrobatics for a long time and couldn't eat much either."

Soon, the noodles and dishes were served. Seeing that there were only two dishes, Firefly wanted to order a few more, but Su Sushang and Guinaifen stopped her.

The group chatted as they ate.

When Firefly learned that Guinaifen was actually a master acrobat, her face immediately showed a look of longing.

"I wish I could learn acrobatics."

"This is still very easy." Guinaifen casually picked up six balls, tossed them up, and caught them. "When you're feeling better, I'll teach you these acrobatics."

"Uh-huh."

Firefly nodded happily.

Then she quietly said 'thank you' in a very low voice.

Firefly isn't stupid; she's now guessing that Ji Yuan was behind the clothing store.

Ji Yuan smiled slightly but did not admit it.

After finishing their meal, everyone left the noodle shop. Although Firefly had replenished her life energy, she was still not suited for prolonged activity, so it was best for her to return home as soon as possible.

As she walked, Firefly gazed curiously at the Luofu Starfaring Vessel.

Seeing everyone's eyes on her, Firefly felt a little embarrassed.

"It's been a long time since I've gone shopping like this."

She stuck out her little tongue slightly and said.

Everyone listened with a sense of pity.

Just then, they ran into someone.

She had long pink hair, wore pink clothes and white stockings, and had a Mystic Eye on her forehead.

It is Fu Xuan, the current Divination Commission Diviner of the Grand Divination Bureau and the future Luofu General Fu Xuan.
