Chapter 107: A Child of Luck with a God-like Wealth Flow?

Ji Shisi strode off in a swaggering gait to chase after Xiao Zigui.

After a brief moment of amusement, Lu Ren shook his head and laughed.

Having come out this time, he had also retracted the physical form of Wanren City into the spirit platform within his manor.

—Wanren City was something that already existed, yet the Life-bound Spirit Tool Wanren City that he had refined was a reality within the void, and a void containing reality.

The small, illusory city hung within his spirit platform, as if surrounded by rippling green waves, connecting and intertwining with the four-colored flames, gradually merging.

When looking inward, one could faintly see Buddhist light flickering on the spirit platform, yet it was different from the Buddhist dharma of the Buddhist Sect; it was instead the profound, primordial, and mysterious Buddhist light.

"Ding."

The bell gave a light tremor.

The shop was noisy with human voices, but after this single ring, there was a momentary silence.

Following the sound of the bell, a woman's clear and beautiful voice appeared.

"Boss, open two premium rooms."

The boss's helpless voice rose accordingly.

"……Ah, this……"

"I'm sorry, Miss, our guest rooms at Duobao Pavilion are all booked up, you see……"

This classic protagonist-style entrance dialogue made Lu Ren involuntarily cast his gaze over, yet he did not see any words related to a Child of Luck above the heads of the two people speaking.

Yu Jiaojiao frowned.

"Are there none left?"

Her expression appeared extremely troubled, but it only lasted for an instant; the next moment, her brows relaxed.

Clinking and clattering, Spirit Stones fell from her hands, only to be caught by the little pink fat pig that had been following by her legs.

Yu Jiaojiao said to everyone in the shop in a calm tone: "Everyone, is anyone willing to give up a guest room for me?"

"I will pay one hundred thousand."

This sentence could not help but draw laughter from the people in the shop.

One bald, burly man slapped the Nine-Linked Ring Broadsword resting on his table, making it crackle and pop.

His laughter was also deafening.

He said disdainfully: "Little girl, you'd better go home and drink your mother's milk."

"One hundred thousand taels, do you think this is the mortal world where you can brush off beggars?"

"Stop being so ridiculous!"

Yu Jiaojiao was not angry after hearing his words.

She just said faintly: "One hundred thousand taels? So your vision is only this high? I was talking about one hundred thousand Spirit Stones, of the grade……"

"Middle-grade."

Even the best premium room in Duobao Pavilion only cost ten Top-grade Spirit Stones, which was merely one thousand High-grade Spirit Stones or ten thousand Middle-grade Spirit Stones.

Such a display of wealth immediately caused many people to shut their mouths.

But it also left the bald, burly man with no face.

His expression suddenly became somewhat unpleasant.

It seemed like shame, it seemed like anger.

His mouth also became foul.

"You little wench! If you have that much money, take it out and let's see it first, don't stand there puffing out your cheeks to look fat!"

Yu Jiaojiao sneered: "I don't know if I'm fat, but I can tell at a glance that you are!"

"You!"

This skill for retorting was truly unforgiving.

The bald, burly man's forehead visibly turned red; he flew into a rage and grabbed the Nine-Linked Ring Broadsword from the side with one slap.

"Has no one in your family taught you to greet your seniors when you go out?"

"If they haven't taught you, this seat will teach you today!"

Yu Jiaojiao's face turned pale.

This was an instinctive reaction to the pressure of a strong practitioner.

But she was not afraid; instead, she gritted her teeth and took out an object.

The moment that thing appeared, Lu Ren felt an anomaly in his spirit platform.

Lu Ren, who had not been very concerned about this scene, immediately saw a glimmer of light flash in his eyes.

Just as the bald, burly man's blade was about to strike her, a flash of spiritual light flickered on her body, and before she could even use the treasure in her hand, a chopstick shot over from the side with a 'whoosh', pinning the heavy blade firmly to the wall of Duobao Pavilion. The bald, burly man was furious.

"Who dares to ruin your grandfather's good deed?"

Yet he saw the man in white by the window sitting silently, merely changing to a new pair of chopsticks and picking up the Spirit Food from his plate to put into his mouth again.

The burly man was annoyed, "You……"

Before he could even finish his sentence, Yu Jiaojiao had already calmed down and spoke coldly: "If I were you, I wouldn't provoke such a senior."

"He can use a single chopstick to block a blade swung with seven or eight tenths of your strength and then pin it to the wall with a backhand, so he could just as easily use two chopsticks to take your dog head from your shoulders."

Even though the bald, burly man glared at her with nostrils flaring in anger, Yu Jiaojiao remained calm and unmoved.

However.

Only she could feel that her palms were already slightly damp with sweat.

She was at the end of her rope, yet she was still putting on a brave front.

"Whether you believe what I say or not is entirely up to you."

"But if I were you, I would only pick up the scraps of face I have left and leave this place, rather than throwing away my life just as the Secret Realm is about to open!"

The lethality of this sentence was absolute.

The burly martial cultivator's face shifted through several expressions, but in the end, he dared not gamble with his only life.

He gritted his teeth and spat out a harsh threat.

"Fine."

"Consider yourselves lucky."

"If you have the guts, don't ever leave Duobao Pavilion!"

Though he held his back straight, he slunk away in defeat.

Yu Jiaojiao finally let out a heavy sigh of relief.

She embarrassedly took out Spirit Stones to compensate the shopkeeper of Duobao Pavilion, "Let this serve as compensation for me causing a scene in your esteemed pavilion, as well as for the wall damaged by this senior."

Seeing her sincerity, the shopkeeper's face immediately broke into a smile.

Of course.

The most important reason was that the Spirit Stones in his hand were truly heavy.

He immediately said, "Easy, easy, everything is easy to discuss."

After accepting the Spirit Stones, he returned to an indifferent expression, but...

"Add that person from just now to our Duobao Pavilion blacklist," he said, turning his head to the waiter beside him.

Stroking his goat-like beard, his eyes glinting with the light of coins, he added, "And go pursue him for compensation for causing a scene in our Duobao Pavilion."

No one had ever been able to owe money to Duobao Pavilion and get away with it!

No one was an exception! After paying the money, Yu Jiaojiao felt a weight lift from her heart.

Most people knew the rules of Duobao Pavilion.

Causing trouble inside Duobao Pavilion is forbidden.

Anyone who causes trouble will be added to the Duobao Pavilion blacklist, and as for when they might be taken off... that is not certain.

But Duobao Pavilion is in the business of making money.

Money can make the devil turn the millstone.

Duobao Pavilion is no exception.

After resolving the risk of the disturbance, Yu Jiaojiao moved step by step, curiously inching closer to Lu Ren.

Her eyes were large, like a nimble little deer in a deep pool, watery and bright, and her pale yellow dress made her look exceptionally charming.

"This senior, thank you for lending me a hand just now. I am Yu Jiaojiao of the Yu family. I have no way to repay your kindness, so I offer these few coins here to thank you, Senior!"

A Top-grade Spirit Soul of excellent quality was placed on the tabletop.

One thousand Top-grade Spirit Stones equal one Spirit Soul.

And a Top-grade Spirit Soul is even harder to find.

Lu Ren set down his chopsticks and looked at Yu Jiaojiao directly.

It must be said, this girl's wealth would make even an established family's heart flutter.

He.

Was no exception.
