The Otherworldly Journey of a Quick Transmigrator

Su Yuanyuan was somewhat happy; she was naturally willing to save money, but she still appeared somewhat hesitant.

"Is this okay?"

"Of course, I can. It was because of my business that Miss Su was delayed. Please keep an eye on Baihualou for me."

Seeing her hesitation, Hua Manlou quickly asked her for help again, and Su Yuanyuan smiled and nodded.

"Okay, I'll go over there in a bit."

"Then I'll be going. Miss Su, you can just stay here."

Watching Hua Manlou walk away, Su Yuanyuan mentally gave a thumbs-up. Staying for a few days would save her a lot of money, and it was such a beautiful house.

She immediately went back to her room to pack her things, checked out at the counter, and went to the clinic to sell herbs. When she came out, she had a huge sum of 10,000 taels of silver in her pocket.

Su Yuanyuan patted her chest. This thin piece of paper really didn't give her any sense of security. Fearing that the previous situation would happen again, she decided to exchange all the silver notes for silver.

Ten thousand taels is no small sum, and Su Yuanyuan was afraid that small money shops wouldn't have that much, so she went directly to the largest money shop in Luoyang.

He exchanged five thousand taels of gold and four thousand five hundred taels of silver, and the rest he exchanged for loose silver to carry with him.

Su Yuanyuan walked out of the money exchange with a smile. Unlike the silver notes she had just received, she only felt a sense of sudden wealth when she saw real gold and silver.

Two waiters followed behind her, helping Su Yuanyuan carry the box containing the gold, and they paraded through the streets to the Hundred Flowers Pavilion.

After dismissing the two waiters, Su Yuanyuan waved her hand and put the box into her spatial storage, then found a guest room to put the things inside.

Su Yuanyuan walked briskly to the eaves and glanced downstairs. Baihua Tower was still some distance from the main street, and no one was looking in her direction at the moment.

She curled her lips into a smile, lifted her skirt, and twirled among the flowers, imagining herself as a fairy of a hundred flowers. A soft laugh startled her.

"who!"

Su Yuanyuan's face turned bright red. She was extremely embarrassed and glared at the direction of the sound.

Then, a man dressed in a dark blue outfit sat at the table. His mustache caught Su Yuanyuan's attention. This must be Lu Xiaofeng.

He was laughing happily, and his sitting posture was very casual.

"What refined taste you have, young lady."

"who are you?"

"That's what I should be asking. Baihua Tower is where Hua Manlou lives. And who are you? What are you doing here?"

Su Yuanyuan sat down opposite him, her eyes constantly glancing at his face.

"Young Master Hua is away these days, so he asked me to stay here and look after his house."

After she said that, Lu Xiaofeng's gaze towards her changed. "Qi Tong asked you to watch over his house?"

Seeing his strong reaction, Su Yuanyuan scratched her cheek uncomfortably. Had she expressed herself incorrectly? Why did she feel like he had misunderstood something?

Seeing that she didn't speak, Lu Xiaofeng moved the stool closer to her and leaned over with a gossipy look on his face.

"Miss, my name is Lu Xiaofeng. I'm friends with Qi Tong. Tell me, how did you two meet?"

Seeing the large face getting closer and closer, Su Yuanyuan moved to the side. "My name is Su Yuanyuan. I only met Young Master Hua yesterday."

"We only met Qitong yesterday and you're already moving in!"

Lu Xiaofeng seemed quite excited and had already stood up from the stool.

Su Yuanyuan gave him a strange look. Hua Manlou liked to help others and didn't know how to refuse anyone.

He was delayed in finding her a house because of his own business, and knowing that she didn't have much money, he felt bad and let her stay. It's perfectly reasonable!

"Young Master Lu must be here to see Young Master Hua, right? He left with a girl and said he wouldn't be back for a few days."

Seeing that Lu Xiaofeng was determined to get to the bottom of things, Su Yuanyuan had to remind him that Hua Manlou had left with Shangguan Feiyan because of him, and he was still gossiping about it.

Sure enough, upon hearing her words, Lu Xiaofeng's expression turned serious. "Does Miss know where they went?"

Su Yuanyuan shook her head and pointed in a direction, "I don't know where they went, but they went that way."

"Thank you, young lady. I'll take my leave now."

With that, he bowed to her, turned around, and disappeared out the window.

Su Yuanyuan stood on the eaves, watching his figure fly away with envy and jealousy. The ancients were so pedantic, insisting on passing down everything. Why couldn't everyone learn such a good thing?

[System, is there any light-foot technique in the prize pool?]

【…Host, winning a lottery still depends on luck.】

...Tsk

Get lost.

【…】

With a regretful look away, and seeing that it was getting late, Su Yuanyuan decided to go out and find something to eat.

At this time, the street vendors had not yet packed up their stalls. Su Yuanyuan followed the aroma and found a small stall selling wontons.

"Auntie, make me a bowl of wontons."

"Alright, please wait a moment, it will be ready soon."

The stall is run by a middle-aged couple. The woman is only responsible for wrapping the wontons, while the man is responsible for cooking the wontons and cleaning up the dishes. Both of them have kind faces.

The wontons were cooked in no time, and the old man put them on the table for her, saying, "Young lady, please eat slowly."

Su Yuanyuan smiled and thanked the old man, then scooped up one and blew on it. The wonton skin was thin, and after it was cooked, the filling could be seen through the skin.

She took a bite with the soup, and the soup was fresh, the meat was fragrant, and it was soft and tender.

Su Yuanyuan kept her head down and didn't look up until she finished a bowl of wontons. She saw the elderly couple smiling at her, and she suddenly felt her face get hot.

"Girl, how does it taste?"

"Auntie, this tastes amazing! It's the best wonton I've ever had."

She wasn't exactly flattering them; aside from what their master made, what they made was indeed the best.

It was just a matter of a word; when Su Yuanyuan left, the two were still laughing happily.

Upon returning to Baihua Tower, Su Yuanyuan went straight to her room. That's one of the downsides of ancient times—there's not much entertainment, and you have to go to sleep as soon as it gets dark.

She was asleep in the middle of the night when she suddenly heard a noise outside. Su Yuanyuan slowly sat up, wondering if Hua Manlou had returned.

I had just lain down when I felt something was off. If it were Hua Manlou, her footsteps would be light and unhurried. This sounds like someone unfamiliar with the layout of the house, groping their way forward little by little.

Moreover, judging from the sound, it was heading towards her room. Su Yuanyuan listened quietly in the darkness for a while, and suddenly she heard the sound of swords being drawn.

Su Yuanyuan sat up speechlessly. Was this place here to kill her? She had only just arrived in this world; who could she have offended?

As soon as the person outside came in, she threw out a handful of poison powder, and the person who came in immediately collapsed to the ground.

Su Yuanyuan kicked the knife into the corner of the wall and glanced at the person lying on the ground by the moonlight. She had no recollection of him at all; he was a complete stranger.

Now she's worried about what to do with the body. She's living in someone's house, and someone as respectful of life as Hua Manlou. She can't let him find out anything.

After storing the corpse and the knife in her spatial storage, Su Yuanyuan decided to deal with them the next morning. She didn't want to bother going back and forth in the middle of the night, since Hua Manlou wouldn't be back for a while anyway.

It was the system that reminded her to put the corpse into her space. Before, Su Yuanyuan always felt that the space was connected to her, and she felt uncomfortable putting the corpse in it.

The system then told her that the space was independent and not connected to her.
