Quick Transmigration: The Green Tea Mistress's Guide to Seduction - A Master's Handbook

Ji Lingshen's misunderstanding of time caused Xie Qingyu to be unable to get out of bed for two days.

The plan was to absorb the crystal core again the next day, but Xie Qingyu didn't actually wake up at all the next day.

Even meals required Ji Lingshen to forcibly wake him up and feed him a couple of bites.

She was fully awake in the early hours of the third day.

My body was clean and comfortable, without any discomfort, which clearly indicated that Ji Lingshen had cleaned me up beforehand.

That's a good point to have learned.

"Eat something first." Ji Lingshen came in carrying a prepared meal.

"Bastard." Xie Qingyu cursed as he approached.

Although she no longer experiences back pain due to her enhanced physique from her superpowers, she still vividly remembers how she felt back then.

The constant excitement left my mind blank, and the relentless stimulation made every nerve tremble.

By the end, Xie Qingyu had lost count of how many times she tried to stop the process midway, but it was simply not going to work.

Ji Lingshen in bed was like a completely different person, both gentle and assertive.

Thinking of this, Xie Qingyu couldn't help but kick Ji Lingshen. So, his previous weakness was all a lie.

Ji Lingshen's smile hadn't faded yet when he reached out and grabbed Xie Qingyu's foot, which she had kicked at him, and kissed the instep of her foot without any hesitation.

"You don't mind...?"

"I've washed it all clean for you," Ji Lingshen replied with a smile.

Xie Qingyu didn't have a good appetite when she first woke up, and she could only eat a few bites before she couldn't eat anymore.

"It's all your fault for wasting time, otherwise I could have leveled up to level two..." Xie Qingyu's words stopped abruptly halfway through.

She raised her hand, and a small puddle floated in her palm.

Xie Qingyu's voice sounded somewhat puzzled, "I'm level two?"

Seeing Ji Lingshen nod affirmatively, Xie Qingyu finally realized that her superpower had indeed been upgraded, no wonder she felt so energetic after sleeping.

"Then the remaining crystal cores are a bit of a waste," Xie Qingyu said regretfully.

Although crystal cores can be used to upgrade from level two to level three, it is easy to cause side effects, just like what happened to Xie Cheng.

The best approach is to let things take their natural course and apply the natural progression in actual combat.

Therefore, Xie Qingyu does not plan to use the crystal core again for a short period of time after reaching level two. She will wait until her superpower stabilizes before using it.

“It’s alright, we can exchange some things before we leave,” Ji Lingshen said.

The base was relatively well-equipped. Considering that Ji Lingshen had a spatial ability, Xie Qingyu also considered exchanging some things, especially some tools that some people in the base made by hand, suitable for survival in the apocalypse.

"Let's go to the farm again. You can help out and then exchange some vegetables for it. We might not be able to settle down for a long time after we leave," Xie Qingyu said thoughtfully.

“Okay.” Ji Lingshen readily agreed.

"Then I'll take the crystal cores to the market and exchange them for some things," Xie Qingyu arranged. "That way, we can leave tomorrow."

This is a human survival base, but it's not a place Xie Qingyu wants to stay.

It's not a suitable place for Ji Lingshen either.

"If I finish here early, I'll come find you at the market," Ji Lingshen said as he and Xie Qingyu left together.

"Okay." Xie Qingyu estimated that she would finish later than Ji Lingshen.

The market in the base is located at the border between the area for people with superpowers and the area for ordinary people; it is a small market that has formed spontaneously.

Most of the vendors inside are people with superpowers. They bring back some scattered supplies when they go out on missions, and they can sell the ones they don't need here.

Some artisans also sell their handmade items here.

This market is located in a very inland area and was not authorized by the base; it was essentially a private transaction.

However, there were many people in the market, both sellers and buyers.

Especially the vendors on both sides, they watch every person who walks in like a customer and try to sell their goods.

Crystal nuclei serve as the currency in the base.

While they can obtain some daily necessities through the most primitive barter system, other things require crystal cores.

For example, hiring bodyguards, having people do tasks, or wanting to move to a new house or obtain scarce supplies.

Someone like Xie Qingyu who came in empty-handed clearly meant she was there to buy something.

Therefore, some people are quite enthusiastic.

Xie Qingyu also carefully examined their belongings, making sure at least their livelihood after they left.

There were many stalls here, and Xie Qingyu looked at them one by one, buying whatever she needed.

Xie Qingyu's gaze and attention were drawn to the items on the stall, and she was completely unaware that several pairs of eyes were fixed on her.

Ji Lingshen was the first to notice something was wrong.

He went to the planting base and traded his planting skills for some vegetables. To avoid being exposed, he went home first, pretending to put the vegetables inside, before going to the market to find Xie Qingyu.

However, after searching the market, he did not find any trace of Xie Qingyu.

This isn't right.

Ji Lingshen straightened up and looked at the people in the market.

The route he took from home was also the route he took from the planting base. If Xie Qingyu had gone to find him, they would have definitely met on the way, but he did not.

And there's no one here.

Ji Lingshen stood at the front of the market stall, bent down to pick up a trinket, and asked, "I think I saw a girl holding this just now. She said she bought it at the very beginning. Is it from your stall?"

The vendor immediately replied, "They're from our family. We're the only shop around here that sells these, so of course they're from our family. I hand-woven each one myself; you won't find them anywhere else."

"Didn't you lie to me?"

"Why would I lie to you? Someone just bought it. It must be the girl you mentioned, the one wearing a light yellow top and white pants, right?"

Ji Lingshen's gaze narrowed; this person was referring to Xie Qingyu's attire when she left home that morning.

“It’s her. I just saw her at the market, then I went home to get the crystal cores and bought them. I haven’t seen her since, otherwise I could have asked her.” Ji Lingshen put down the things in his hands with some regret. “I’m not sure now, so forget it. These don’t look as good as the ones she has. I was originally thinking of buying one more.”

The vendor immediately panicked. What he was selling wasn't a necessity—just a small bamboo box for storing things. Few people bought it to begin with, so how could he let go of such a customer?

"Don't worry, that girl hasn't left yet. Why don't you go inside and look for her? Once you see her, ask her carefully if she's from our family." The stall owner peered inside, hoping the girl would come out soon.
