The retired man went into the wrong book, and his beautiful husband loved him

Lin Qiqi and Yun Qing were completely unaware of the turmoil within the palace. Even if they had known, they probably wouldn't have paid much attention. After all, with important figures like the Imperial Preceptor and the State Preceptor in charge, there was no need for them to personally deal with it.

At this moment, Lin Qiqi's attention was completely drawn to the strange silk in the system mall. She stared at the screen. Two full hours had passed, yet the exchange price below the strange silk still displayed "The other party is entering..."

Lin Qiqi couldn't help but secretly complain in her heart: "What on earth is this guy doing? Is he treating this as a chat dialog box? Or is he still struggling with what price to offer? It's so annoying!"

Seeing that her patience was about to run out, Lin Qiqi finally couldn't help but say to the ice cream cone beside her: "Ice cream cone, please keep an eye on it for me. Call me as soon as the other party makes an offer." After that, she turned around to do other things.

The ice cream cone was also full of doubts. It muttered to itself, "I've never met such a slow-moving seller! What does he want? If it weren't for the fact that this strange thread was so hard to find, I would have closed the transaction interface without hesitation. Humph, let's see how long he can drag it out. I don't know what price he will offer in the end." Just like that, the ice cream cone waited anxiously, constantly guessing the other party's intentions.

At the same time, at the bottom of the distant ghost cave, a snowy owl with a completely white body was spreading its wings and fleeing forward with all its might.

Behind it, countless dark shadows surged from all directions like a tide, chasing closely. These attackers were extremely fast and were about to catch up with the poor snowy owl.

It carefully stuffed the strange silk tightly into its left wing, fearing that it would become loose in the slightest.

Those sharp eagle eyes were fixed on the black air that was constantly gathering around, trying to find even a tiny chance of escape from this seemingly endless malice that filled the sky.

Just a while ago, when it had just successfully obtained this strange silk, its heart was filled with an irrepressible sense of pride.

It happened to see by chance that someone had posted a purchase request for strange silk on the bounty notice!

What surprised it even more was that not long after, it was lucky enough to discover a whole ball of strange silk.

The number of these strange threads was huge, far exceeding the amount required by the other party.

For itself, these strange threads can not only be used to save someone's vital life, but also a part of them can be exchanged for some extremely precious elixirs and rare spirit stones.

Originally, it was happily planning to have a peaceful and calm discussion with the other party.

However, the development of things was completely beyond its expectations.

Just as it was about to make a request to the other party, suddenly, like sharks smelling blood, countless greedy predators came from all directions and chased it madly following the scent.

Faced with such a sudden and large number of enemies, it had no ability to fight back. In desperation, it had no choice but to flee desperately in order to survive.

At this moment, after a long and desperate escape, it was exhausted and on the verge of exhaustion.

However, no matter what, it would never easily hand over the treasured strange silk in its arms to those predators who were eyeing it covetously.

The Snowy Owl just watched the rolling black gas that was constantly approaching, and a deep feeling of despair gradually welled up in its heart - because it knew clearly that with its current remaining strength, it would probably not be able to support the next fierce battle.

Snowy Owl stared closely at the exchange interface that opened in front of him, and a feeling of despair and determination surged in his heart.

Staying here would only lead to death, so it might as well risk it all and use the Eagle Clan's secret technique to gamble! Thinking of this, it made up its mind and decided to give it a try.

The snowy owl carefully extended its sharp beak and gently pulled off a small piece of strange silk.

This was an extremely precious piece of strange silk, each strand worth a fortune, yet now he had to reluctantly part with it. Although he was filled with reluctance, the urgency of the situation meant he could not afford even the slightest hesitation.

Then, without hesitation, the Snowy Owl pecked its own leg fiercely. Blood immediately gushed out, staining the small piece of strange silk red. It endured the pain, holding the blood-stained silk tightly in its mouth, silently chanting a spell in its mind.

In the system mall, Ice Cream Cone, who had been staring at Guisi, was dozing off out of boredom.

A strange light suddenly flashed across the screen, instantly waking Ice Cream Cone from his half-sleep state.

Ice Cream Cone rubbed his eyes in a daze, and when he looked carefully, he found that the product window that was supposed to display Wei Si had turned into a white owl!

This sudden change scared Ice Cream Cone so much that he rubbed his eyes hard and looked again. Yes, it was indeed a vivid white owl.

What is even more surprising is that the place below the owl where the price should have been displayed has now become a line of words: "Looking for adoption, face to face negotiation."

Ice Cream couldn't believe his eyes and couldn't help but mutter, "How could there be such a shameless bird? He actually asked to be adopted. He's really shameless!"

However, faced with such a bizarre situation, Ice Cream Towel didn't dare to make any decisions on its own. Cursing non-stop while frantically calling out for Lin Qiqi, it secretly wondered, "Could it be that the system has been invaded by a virus? Otherwise, how could such a bizarre thing happen?"

After hearing the news, Lin Qiqi and Yun Qing entered the space together without hesitation.

When Lin Qiqi saw the white owl for the first time, she was dumbfounded and seemed to be petrified in an instant.

The owl in front of me is snow-white all over, like a magical creature that walked out of a magic academy. Its appearance is so similar!

However, what really surprised Lin Qiqi was not just its appearance, but the line of words below the owl. The content of that line of words was really shameless.

Lin Qiqi calmed down and began to carefully examine the snowy owl. Suddenly, she discovered a strange thread sticking out from under its wings! This discovery made Lin Qiqi secretly happy: "It seems this guy really has something!"

Originally, this should have been a fair and voluntary transaction, but now it has become an absolute unfair clause.

If Lin Qiqi does not choose to accept this condition, then the snowy owl will disappear from the system mall with the strange silk.

The next time one could find strange silk again would probably be a distant prospect. After all, most owners of such rare items treasured them as treasures and would never sell them unless they had accumulated a sufficient quantity.

At this moment, the snowy owl was filled with anxiety and trepidation. It knew its demands were somewhat excessive, even unreasonable. But there was no other way. To survive, it had to put its reputation aside. It could only think about how to restore its image after this was over, strive to win the other party's favor, and at the same time, find a way back.

Lin Qiqi stared into the bird's eyes, which revealed obvious worry.

Smiling slightly, she clicked the accept option. She was really curious about what the bird was going to do.

The screen suddenly flickered, and several rays of light intertwined. Then, a jaw-dropping scene appeared—the snowy owl actually stepped out from the screen as if traveling through time and space!

At first, Lin Qiqi was worried the bird was too large to fit in the small space of the mall. But once it appeared on screen, she was stunned. The snowy owl, quietly standing on the table, was even slightly smaller than a coffee cup! Was its size a joke?

The little snowy owl seemed to notice the confusion and surprise in Lin Qiqi's eyes. It shook its wings a little embarrassedly, as if trying to explain something.

As the wings fluttered gently, something magical happened again: the snowy owl's body began to slowly expand and grow.

Lin Qiqi, who originally thought that it could grow to at least half a meter in height, was once again shocked speechless.

Because what appeared before her wasn't a giant flying bird, but a boy sitting on a table! This boy was quite handsome and adorable, with lips as red as cherries, teeth as white as snow, and a pair of bright eyes that shone like stars in the night sky. He looked like a fairy from heaven. If one hadn't seen the wings still behind him, no one would have believed he was related to the tiny snowy owl.

Just when Lin Qiqi was about to speak, the boy suddenly became very frightened, as if he was full of fear of Lin Qiqi.

He jumped down from the table quickly with swift and decisive movements, and then walked straight towards Yun Qing without hesitation.

When he approached Yun Qing, he raised his little head, blinked his bright eyes, and asked crisply, "Are you the one who wants the strange silk?"

Yun Qing couldn't help but feel amused when he saw this little guy was so afraid of Lin Qiqi, but he remained serious and earnest on his face as he slowly replied, "It wasn't me."

Upon hearing this, the boy's expectant eyes dimmed instantly, like a gem that had lost its luster. However, before he could completely sink into disappointment, Yun Qing added, "The person who wants the strange silk is actually my wife."

Hearing this, the boy glanced at Lin Qiqi guiltily, but after just such a quick glance, he no longer had the courage to look at her directly, let alone talk to her.

Seeing this, Lin Qiqi asked with a puzzled look in her eyes, "Could it be that... you are afraid of me?"

Hearing this, the boy shook his head vigorously like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, and denied it eagerly, "No, no, no, that's absolutely not the case! You're not scary at all, and you're actually very beautiful! It's just...it's just that I already have someone I admire, so I must uphold the virtues of a man and not casually talk to other women."

This unexpected answer not only stunned Lin Qiqi on the spot, but also made Yun Qing beside her burst into laughter. After the two looked at each other, they both burst into laughter.
