Chapter 73: 73 Another day of seeing the world
73 Another day of seeing the world.
On the way back to the old residence, Xie Shiyu asked Tushan Jiu, "Jiujiu, you just told Bai Yu that we would use that stone essence to nourish our bodies, right?"
Tushan Jiu answered off the point, "Have you also noticed that I often eat lollipops?"
Xie Shiyu nodded.
He had also seen many times, she gave the lollipops to those two brats.
She never gave any to him, but those two brats have eaten plenty!
But in an instant he realized, turned his head to glance at her, "Your lollipop making is quite special?"
"Um, yes, my sugar cannot be bought in ordinary markets, because it is transformed by ghostly or demonic power. Ghostly power can enhance a cultivator's cultivation and internal qi, and for ordinary people eating it has many benefits, such as strengthening the body, prolonging life."
Tushan Jiu said while glancing at his expression.
If this were in the past, Xie Shiyu might have been surprised, but now he just finds it ordinary.
After all, he is the prospective son-in-law of the Tushan family, and in the future he will only see more and broader things in the field of metaphysics.
Moreover, from Bai Yu's behavior just now, this thing is extraordinarily precious.
This is Jiujiu's heartfelt intention; how could he possibly despise it!
Seeing him silent, Tushan Jiu pressed her lips, "If you feel uneasy about it, then I just won't......"
Xie Shiyu never expected that his moment of absentmindedness would actually cause her to misunderstand.
He explained, "Jiujiu, you misunderstood; I was just thinking, those two brats have eaten your lollipops, I am your fiancé, yet I haven't eaten any!"
Tushan Jiu's lips relaxed and gradually rose.
She lowered her head and rummaged, pulling out a pink stick from her pocket and handing it over.
But thinking he was driving, she took it back, tore off the wrapper in a couple of pulls, and then handed it again to Xie Shiyu's mouth.
Xie Shiyu lowered his eyes, opened his mouth, and took it in.
Tushan Jiu's eyes sparkled, "How is it? Is it good? What flavor?"
"Strawberry, very sweet!"
"Ah! As expected of a child of destiny, I haven't had strawberry flavor in ages; let me tell you, strawberry flavor is the best, so sweet!"
Tushan Jiu began telling him what other colors of lollipops she had, but as for what flavor inside, she didn't know; anyway, she eats them every day like opening a blind box.
"You know, I once actually ate a bitter one, bitter melon flavor; the bitterness almost made my soul leave my body!"
"Anyway, your luck is good; next time I'll have you help me pick lollipops, and pick the rest for Second Brother and Third Brother......"
Listening to her endless chatter, Xie Shiyu felt not only his mouth sweet, but his heart sweet as well.
However, he also noticed the lollipop's peculiarity.
After eating this lollipop, he felt his mind exceptionally clear, all fatigue vanished; describing it as taking effect immediately is not an exaggeration.
This item is truly a rare treasure; she really put her heart into it.
Thinking of her delight upon hearing the strawberry flavor just now, Xie Shiyu pressed the accelerator a bit harder.
The car speed gradually increased in the darkness as it headed toward the old residence.
In less than twenty minutes, the car stopped in the old residence's garage.
Tushan Jiu unfastened her seatbelt to get out, but Xie Shiyu grabbed her.
She looked at him puzzled, "What's wrong?"
There was still a bit of the lollipop left uneaten; Xie Shiyu chewed it up.
He pulled out the pink stick and said, "Haven't you had strawberry flavor in a while? Have a taste."
Tushan Jiu glanced at the pink stick, her eyes showing surprise.
But the next second, she realized she had been mistaken.
Because Xie Shiyu kissed her lips, the strawberry flavor also filled her mouth and teeth.
Now that divine power is available, all that remains is for Tushan Jiu to start carving the final formation sigils with a knife.
After a good night's sleep, taking advantage of the abundant morning spiritual energy, Tushan Jiu began working.
Two hours later, she put down the knife and sighed, "With divine power backing, it's really different."
Before, she had to painstakingly carve each character, taking half a day for a single one.
These two hours actually finished the remaining work.
Of course, besides divine power, there are other boosts: for example, the Xie family's old residence has become a qi-gathering place due to Xie Shiyu's fortune; also, today is the first day of the lunar month, with more offerings, so the power of faith and spiritual energy are also greater.
In short, it's only under many favorable conditions of timing, location, and harmony that such a good effect arises.
Tushan Jiu put on the jade bracelet, went to the corner of the room where a box holding nail clippers was placed.
She placed her hand on that box, then formed a seal with one hand and quickly chanted a passage.
As her chanting ceased, the hand that had been pressing on the box grasped at nothing.
A flash of light flickered in the depths of her eyes.
Moreover, with her heavenly eye, as soon as she looks at the jade bracelet she can see what is stored inside and take or put things at will.
Success!
Unable to keep the corners of her mouth from turning up, she slipped on her slippers, opened the door, and ran to the study to share her joy with Xie Shiyu.
Today is Saturday; although Xie Shiyu didn't go to the company, he still had a few documents that needed his remote review.
She knocked on the study door.
From inside came a voice: "Come in."
She pushed the door open; Tushan Jiu didn't go in, but stood at the doorway, smiling and asking, "Are you busy? My storage bracelet succeeded—I want to show it off to you!"
Xie Shiyu was made to laugh by her; the anger he had just felt over a low-level mistake in the documents instantly dissipated.
I don't know what the project department has been up to lately; errors keep popping up during summarization.
This time, he even wrote the project name wrong by one character in the contract that was about to be signed!
Looks like he has to go to the company this afternoon to talk with the person in charge of the project department.
He got up and walked toward the door.
Tushan Jiu impatiently pulled him toward the small building in the rear courtyard.
Her dowry was all placed there.
The small building had its lock changed to a password lock yesterday afternoon, and Xu Airu sent her the initial password, giving her time to change it herself.
But she hasn't changed it yet, and now there's no need to.
Because in a moment, the inside will be empty.
She opened the door and pulled Xie Shiyu inside.
Xie Shiyu wasn't there yesterday, but the Bai Family knows what jade she wants, and the Xiao Family, needless to say, also knows—she must be after gold, right?
Tushan Jiu didn't open it either; she simply placed her hand on it and gave Xie Shiyu a demonstration of the Disappearance Technique.
A flicker of curiosity crossed Xie Shiyu's eyes.
Although he had seen Tushan Jiu collect ghosts, those were intangible things, souls in ethereal form, so they were easy to accept.
But now, that huge box before him vanished—these are physical objects, which in theory is different.
So he indeed found it quite novel.
Well, today is another day of seeing the world.
