Ning Shiyue’s eyes shone brilliantly. “Clear River Pavilion truly understands me. Do you have other types of defensive artifacts here?”
The attendant glanced at Feng Qingran, a hint of respect in his gaze.
Feng Qingran signaled at the attendant with her eyes: Stop looking at me, you’re going to give us away!
“Esteemed guest, what type do you prefer? Clear River Pavilion offers a complete range of artifacts. Among them, there are defensive artifacts specifically designed to protect the skin, preventing any damage to one’s appearance during combat…” The attendant patiently introduced each type.
Upon hearing this, Ning Shiyue waved her hand grandly. “Bring out everything you just mentioned for me to see!”
The attendant nodded. “Esteemed guests, perhaps you would like to come upstairs to a private room? I will have all the items you wish to see delivered there.”
“Let’s go! Take me to a private room.” Baili Wen Yue, who had walked over, directly offered spirit stones.
Ning Shiyue, however, shook her head. “No need. It’s more interesting to shop while walking around.”
Ning Shiyue really didn’t want to sit. Back at Lingyun Sect, she was nearly sick of sitting around drawing talismans.
Now that she was finally out, she absolutely had to walk around more.
“Fifth Senior Sister, aren’t you tired? Don’t your legs hurt?” Baili Wen Yue felt somewhat deflated, thinking Fifth Senior Sister was even more formidable than before.
Ning Shiyue narrowed her eyes. “If Sixth Junior Brother is tired, he can go back to the inn and lie down…”
Remembering the poisons Ning Shiyue concocted, a chill ran down Baili Wen Yue’s spine. He fawned, “No! No need! I love accompanying Fifth Senior Sister the most…”
If magical beasts couldn’t withstand those poisons, he certainly couldn’t either!
Feng Qingran and Mo Jinghong exchanged a glance and shook their heads. Truly, there’s always a rock for every scissor.
Sixth Senior Brother was completely defeated every time he went up against Fifth Senior Sister.
“No need for you to accompany us. You should go rest in the private room. Seventh Junior Brother’s presence here is a delight to the eyes, but your presence here is… somewhat in the way…” Ning Shiyue’s eyes were brilliant, lively and clear.
Baili Wen Yue: …
He didn’t want to speak. His heart was weary!
Feng Qingran blinked her apricot-shaped eyes. “Seventh Senior Brother, you and Sixth Senior Brother should go rest first. I can accompany Fifth Senior Sister.”
Mo Jinghong nodded and, ignoring the stunned Baili Wen Yue, followed a newly arrived attendant.
“Seventh Junior Brother, wait for me!” Baili Wen Yue snapped out of it and hurriedly chased after Mo Jinghong.
Junior Sister was so gentle with Seventh Junior Brother!
So envious!
Sniff…
When would Fifth Senior Sister ever be like that with him?
After Mo Jinghong and Baili Wen Yue left, Ning Shiyue pulled Feng Qingran along to continue selecting items.
Selected items would be sent to the private room; they didn’t have to pay on the spot.
“Junior Sister, when they send things to the private room, aren’t they afraid someone might just stuff them into their storage space and sneak away?” Ning Shiyue whispered into Feng Qingran’s ear.
Feng Qingran picked up an artifact and pointed at a spot. “Fifth Senior Sister, everything here has a mark. If the imprint isn’t removed, it can’t be stored in a space.”
Ning Shiyue’s eyes widened as she looked at the almost imperceptible mark. “Junior Sister, how did you know that?”
“The attendant mentioned it earlier. You might not have been paying attention,” Feng Qingran explained guiltily.
She couldn’t very well tell Ning Shiyue that she was the one who had researched this mark!
“Really?” Ning Shiyue was puzzled but didn’t pursue it further.
She quickly pushed the matter aside and moved on to the next area.
“Junior Sister, I truly admire the owner of Clear River Pavilion. The layout inside this place really suits my taste; it’s very comfortable to browse.” Ning Shiyue’s gaze landed on a certain area, and she pulled Feng Qingran over.
It was filled entirely with beautiful brocade garments.
“Esteemed guests, this is the Fairy Hall. I cannot follow you inside. I will wait for you outside,” said the attendant who had remained unobtrusive until now.
Ning Shiyue waved her hand and entered with Feng Qingran.
A lovely maidservant came forward, smiling warmly. “Welcome, two beautiful guests, to the Fairy Hall. All the clothes inside can be tried on. If you are dissatisfied with the selection here, you can state your requirements, and we will have them custom-made to order…”
“Really?” Ning Shiyue’s eyes sparkled as she pulled Feng Qingran forward. “Start by making seventy or eighty defensive robes for her. They have to be pretty.”
In Ning Shiyue’s impression, Feng Qingran had been wearing the same set of clothes ever since arriving at Lingyun Sect.
“Fifth Senior Sister, I don’t need…” Feng Qingran’s mouth twitched.
Seventy or eighty!?
“Don’t worry, your Fifth Senior Sister has spirit stones. Spend freely,” Ning Shiyue declared with extraordinary extravagance. “Also, pick out another seventy or eighty sets for me, clothes suitable for an ice-cold beauty…”
The maidservant: !!!
Someone come quickly!
A huge sale!
Feng Qingran: …
So Fifth Senior Sister’s fondness for amassing wealth was just so she could spend without any restraint?
However, before Feng Qingran could react, Ning Shiyue raised her hand. “That red dress over there, take it down for me to look at…”
The maidservant, forgetting all about decorum, swiftly retrieved the red dress and handed it to Ning Shiyue.
Ning Shiyue held the dress up against Feng Qingran, nodded in satisfaction, and said, “We’ll take this one. Deliver it to the Tiansue private room.”
Just as the maidservant was about to take the dress back.
A loud, arrogant female voice rang out. “Stop! I want that dress!”
