Xiandao Linglong

In the dense forest outside the city, a dilapidated wooden house came into view. Looking at this broken wooden house that could neither shelter from the wind nor from the rain, Jingshu's face was filled with joy.

However, Ye Qi, who had been living a life of luxury since childhood, frowned. Although he couldn't say he disliked it, he felt that on this rainy day, a violent storm might come at any time, and this small cabin might not be able to meet the needs of the two of them.

"Look! This is the house I built myself. When I first transformed into a human, I had no money. I was so envious of those beautiful tall buildings and lampposts that I tried to copy them and build one myself. In the end, I could only barely build it like this!"

Jingshu explained the origin of the wooden house as if she was showing off her most precious thing. Then she ran to the corner beside the wooden house and dug a hole in the ground with her bare hands. After digging up the soil, she saw a wooden box underneath. After so much decay, the box was already in tatters and barely managed to not break.

"Look at these... I saw that those wealthy businessmen had so much money that they couldn't spend it all, so I asked them to help me, a poor little demon who couldn't even afford to eat. I didn't spend a penny, I saved it all and hid it here!"

Looking at this simple wooden house, it is hard to imagine how the girl who had just transformed built it bit by bit with her dreams in her heart.

I don't think these copper coins were necessarily given to her by a wealthy businessman as she said. It's more likely that she stole them herself. I can't imagine how miserable her life was in the past. No wonder she likes to take advantage of small opportunities and eat for free wherever she goes now!

Jingshu looked at the dazed Ye Qi, and slapped him on the back of the head when she passed by him, then ran forward.

"Ye Qi, what are you still standing there for? Let's go! Yiyang City is just ahead. Let's go eat something delicious!"

After Ye Qi realized what was happening, he patted his head with a smile and followed him, not forgetting to joke, "I didn't expect you to be a wealthy woman!"

"This is the wine money I've saved for a long time. I'm giving it to you. Please spend it sparingly!"

Jingshu handed the package of silver to Ye Qi. Although the silver was not particularly heavy, she had to find someone who was willing to work hard to carry the silver in the backpack. She couldn't afford to do both the money and the effort herself!

The two hurried all the way and finally reached Yi Yang City before dark on the third day. The city gates were open at night and people could enter and exit freely. The city was brightly lit and patrol teams took turns patrolling day and night!

"Have you heard of the Treasure Pavilion Auction House in Yi Yang? I heard that there are all kinds of rare treasures there!" Jing Shu asked.

Ye Qi looked at the unfamiliar environment, shook his head, and said, "Where do you want to go? I'll go with you!"

"Then... let's go drink! Listen to storytelling! Read storybooks! Okay?" Jingshu tapped her chin lightly with her finger and said after thinking for a moment.

"It's your money anyway, so you decide!" Ye Qi spread his hands and said with an expression of shameless freeloader.

Jing Shu rolled her eyes and turned away, complaining, "If I hadn't brought you along as a burden, why would I have to spend my own money? You're such a money-loser!"

"Uh! Where did you learn all that? So..."

"That's what it says in the storybooks. People who only know how to spend money but not how to earn money are called money-losers in the storybooks! So any money you spend of mine must be recorded in the account, and you have to pay me back later!" Jingshu said seriously.

"You little girl are so good at calculating! Let's go! Let's go drink!"

The two of them were walking on the bustling street, scanning the surroundings for the location of a restaurant. After walking for an incense stick of time, they finally saw a restaurant.

But before she stepped in, she smelled the fragrance of wine outside. Jingshu walked inside with blurry eyes, smelling the scent!

"Waiter! Bring me a jar of daughter's red wine! And three ounces... a pound... of beef!"

Normally, three taels of beef are enough for Jingshu as a snack. Today, Ye Qi, a freeloader, is with her. With his appetite, one meal is enough for her to eat for a whole day. Just thinking about it makes her feel sorry for the silver in the package!

"Don't say I'm stingy. This pound of beef is enough for me to eat for two days, and I only have this little money. I can't let you take it!" Jingshu looked at him warily, afraid that he would continue to eat and drink excessively and go bankrupt himself.

"Even if we live frugally, the money will eventually run out. It seems we have to find a way to make money!"

Ye Qi looked at her bright eyes staring at the package containing silver with a look of reluctance, and sighed deeply.

She had to be self-reliant since she was young. She usually never spent money on meals, so I was very touched that she could take out all her private money.

But if we use this money to buy meat and wine every day, I'm afraid we'll starve to death before we even reach Yushan!

"Making money? Sure! Sure!"

When Jingshu heard about money, her worried face suddenly turned into a beaming one. She danced with joy and called the waiter over. She put one leg on the stool and said generously, "Waiter! Bring me another serving of braised carp, a smoked duck, a beggar's chicken, and any four dishes you like to go with the wine! Hurry up!"

Seeing Jingshu, who had just said that she had a small appetite, order a table full of food and wine, Ye Qi was so shocked that he sat there dumbfounded.

Jingshu looked like she hadn't had a full meal in several lives. She rolled up her sleeves and stretched out her two white and tender arms. With a click, she pulled off one of the beggar's chicken's legs. She raised her hands, tilted her head back, and stuffed the still-dangling chicken skin and chicken leg meat into her mouth from bottom to top.

When the chicken leg was spit out from the cherry mouth, the bones were already visible. The other hand directly picked up the chopped beef and stuffed it into the mouth.

The way she eats looks so happy that even people with anorexia would probably drool when seeing her eating like this!

"Eat slowly! No one is going to snatch the food from you!" Ye Qi said as he watched her eating and drinking without restraint.

"I... cough cough..."

Jingshu had just opened her mouth to speak when a piece of meat slipped out of her mouth. She was afraid that if there was more meat in her mouth, she would choke herself in a hurry, so she picked up a bowl of wine and drank it all in one gulp!

"This little girl eats so deliciously! It makes me greedy!" said a middle-aged man with a big belly and dressed like a rich businessman at the table next to him, swallowing his saliva.

When Jingshu saw the other person swallowing her saliva, she hurriedly stretched out her arms to block the food and drinks on the table, as if she was afraid that someone would snatch her food away!

The few people who were amused by Jingshu's innocent look suddenly felt like doting and shouted, "Waiter! Serve that girl a few more special dishes. That table is on me!"

Jingshu relaxed her guard after hearing what the middle-aged man said. She withdrew her arm that was protecting the food and wanted to say thank you, but her mouth was full of food, so she could only respond with a smile!

The middle-aged man came over and said, "I just overheard you two worrying about money. I have a mine in Wutong Mountain, but a monster has recently taken over it. If you can help me get rid of the monster, I can give you twenty taels of silver!"

Jing Shu suddenly became clear-headed when she heard about the silver. She sat up and said with wide eyes, "Twenty taels? Ye Qi, that's enough for me to drink for half a month. Just agree to this uncle!"
