Chapter 43: The Plain Girl is Cold
In the dessert shop, most of the dozen or so pastry trays on the table were empty, and the female shopkeeper stood a little dazed, looking at the little girl who was still gluttonous and her face was full of pastry dregs. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 When Info first entered the store, she thought the little girl was so cute, and even gave her a piece of osmanthus cake for free, but now, all she had left was the word "terrible". Such a little girl, who had been eating non-stop from the time she entered the door in the evening until after midnight, ate up all the stock in her store by herself. Although the shopkeeper knew that there were many strange cultivators in this world with strange astral abilities, it was still unacceptable for a little girl who looked to be no more than four or five years old to have such abilities.
What makes people especially envious and jealous is that if you eat Hesse so recklessly, how can you not eat fat?
Chu Lingyi sat opposite He Xiaotong, supporting himself with one hand, quiet as usual on the surface, and already overturned the river and sea in his heart. She always thought that the little girl in front of her and that Situ Batian were a father and daughter, although Situ Batian was not very old, it was not uncommon for him to get married and have children at the age of fifteen or sixteen. Lin Nanxing originally wanted to come forward directly to give her to Situ Batian so that the other party would return to her heart, but she came up with the idea to try to start with his daughter first. Although she came from a humble background, she was never willing to entertain people with sex, and since it was possible to please his daughter and win him over, and she could get to know him better, why not? Most of the children were greedy, and this He Xiaotong was especially very popular, and she used street snacks to seduce her slightly, so she followed her. Then came to this dessert shop, the little girl kept eating and eating, and there was a lot of momentum of not eating empty shops and not leaving a step, she thought that she would not see her daughter when it was dark, and Situ Batian would definitely find her, but she waited until the second half of the night. Then, He Xiaotong, who was extremely happy to eat and felt that the sister in front of him was extremely kind, poured out the master's secret.
It turns out that He Xiaotong is not Situ Batian's daughter at all, and Situ Batian is not Situ Batian, but His Royal Highness the Third Prince of the Great Zhou Empire!
There is no doubt that this is exciting news. At this time, the city lord and the Holy Sect were plotting against the desert, and the dignified prince actually came to Shashui incognito and entered the Beidou Pavilion, and the intention behind it can be imagined. This matter should be reported to the eldest prince as soon as possible, and she will make another great contribution, and there is no need to use beauty to serve people again. Of course, Lin Nanxing would not try in vain to recruit the prince, and as a prince, with such a noble status, it is unlikely that he would be interested in a girl like her. Wu Shanyue is such a temperament and beauty, although she can be regarded as beautiful, but it is incomparable, the prince can fall in love with her at first sight, but he will not be ready to move on himself.
Chu Lingyi is self-aware. Knowing the identity of the prince, she didn't think that she could sail down the river and climb the royal tree as if she had found a treasure. She disdained it and didn't dare to do it. Although Lin Nanxing treated himself badly and took his body, he still trusted himself after all. And to take refuge in the prince with his own posture and qualifications, at most it is just a temporary favor. And once betrayed, she will be hated for life by a guy like Lin Nanxing with a small belly, and she can imagine what kind of fate she will face. She is a civilian woman, how can she have the qualifications and courage to betray the city lord and son?
She quietly watched He Xiaotong finish the last dessert, watched her stretch out her pink little tongue, licked the pastry residue on her hand unsatisfied, and said with a slight smile: "There is nothing to eat in the store today, sister will bring you another day, let's go, I'll send you back first." ”
"Really?" He Xiaotong asked with a wink.
"Really, my sister's words count. ”
"Good!"
He Xiaotong happily agreed, jumped off the chair with a twist of his buttocks, raised his little face and looked at Sister Lingyi seriously to pay the bill for himself. She has only been able to change her human form for more than a month, and she is full of curiosity about many things when she walks in the world, of course, the most curious thing is how people can make such delicious things, everything is delicious, no matter how much you eat, you can't eat enough, but it's a pity that you have to pay for food. It obviously took a lot of money to eat so many things, and she found that it seemed that this Lingyi sister was a little embarrassed.
Lingyi was indeed very embarrassed, her silver was not enough to pay the bill. She doesn't have much money, and the Guizhen Sect will have a large amount of incense money in her account every day, but most of it goes to the City Lord's Mansion and the Holy Master Gong Ximing personally, and there are not many people who can share it from these ordinary disciples, but she can often get some rewards from Lin Nanxing, but the expenses of cultivators are extremely high, and people with low qualifications like her are completely stacked up by resources. Her parents originally thought that she would become a rich person after joining the religion and practice, and she could have a lot of silver to supplement her family, but later found out that cultivation was really a bottomless pit for eating silver, and the little silver she earned was not enough to spend on herself. Of course, she still insists on saving a little every month for her family.
There are indeed a few rich disciples in the sect, but they all make money by bullying mortals and taking on black jobs, such as assassination. Lingyi can't do this kind of thing, even if she kills mortals, she can't do it. The purpose of people's cultivation is not to fight and kill people, but to fight only to compete for resources. There are actually a lot of girls like Lingyi who don't practice fighting, and many of them have talent and astrology that have nothing to do with fighting.
So Lingyi is very poor, the key is that she didn't expect He Xiaotong to eat so much, even if the store is half discounted, she can't afford it. Of course, she can't pay the bills, it's a whole store's pastries, it's not a small amount, the store still has to live, she can't do this kind of bullying and kindness, so she has to smile, full of apologies and said: "I don't have so much silver with me, write down the account first, and I'll pay it back when it's dawn." ”
Unexpectedly, the female shopkeeper smiled very casually: "It's okay, it's my honor for the Heavenly Master to come to the shop, and you can give it again when you have the silver." ”
"I will definitely give it silver. Lingyi solemnly promised, but the embarrassment in her heart was slightly lessened. She thought that even if she went back to borrow some money from her junior brothers, she would have to pay off the arrears first, but He Xiaotong, who had been looking up at her, suddenly snorted, looked left and right and asked, "Sister, what kind of smell is this?"
Lingyi was stunned for a moment. She sniffed lightly, and there did seem to be a faint smell in the air, which was so faint that she couldn't smell it unless she smelled it carefully, or was she so familiar with it that she knew it. So her face suddenly changed.
This is Guiling incense, a special incense made by the Guizhen Sect, which is sold to believers and used as a signal to ask for help from the disciples of Guizhen. Some disciples will also give this incense after they are hired by merchants to pay for their protectors. When a merchant is in distress, he will burn incense and ask for help. The disciples will sense it at the first time and come quickly. Obviously, this shop is within the protection of a certain senior brother, and his inability to pay the bill is mistaken for a non-payment, and I don't know how long this incense has been burning, maybe the person will arrive soon.
Lingyi smiled self-deprecatingly and glanced at the female shopkeeper again. The other party looked a little nervous, her face turned slightly pale, and she even took a step back, as if she was afraid that Lingyi would suddenly attack her, but then she was overjoyed and shouted loudly outside the store: "Bai Shi, Bai Shi, you are here! These two people ate my whole store, and they refused to give money! You have to help me uphold justice!"
Lingyi frowned, turned around, but saw the door of the store open, and a man with a lofty instrument walked in.
