That evening, Li Shihe reappeared.

Now she only appears alone at night.

"Here!" Li Shihe handed a bag to Chen Feng as soon as she entered the store.

Then, ignoring Chen Feng, she swiped her card and sent the Purple Flame Sable into the evolution box, her operation quite skillful.

Chen Feng was a little dumbfounded after taking the bag.

Didn't we agree that one pill would be worth one spirit crystal?

Something seems off about this number.

Chen Feng gave Li Shihe a total of thirty pills, which should have been equivalent to receiving thirty spirit crystals as payment.

But there are clearly more spirit crystals, and it seems like there are about twice as many.

The spirit crystals are not large, about the size of a thumb, and they are all irregularly round. There are differences between each spirit crystal, but not too much.

"Ding, spirit crystal detected, can be absorbed."

What can you gain from absorbing it?

"Ding, please explore on your own, host."

Chen Feng had gotten used to the system's quirks.

"Explore everything on your own? What a load of crap!"

"Shihe, isn't this too much?" Chen Feng didn't absorb it directly.

After all, Li Shihe is still in the store.

Who knows what will happen after it's absorbed?

"Why so much? The pills are so effective, of course they should be sold at a higher price." Li Shihe responded matter-of-factly.

Upon hearing Li Shihe's words, Chen Feng was speechless.

This is outrageous! Is this what they call "the place that came from"?

"Fine, you're the boss, you're in charge."

"Hey, you've got a way with words, kid. How's your preparation for tomorrow's competition going?"

Li Shihe put her hands on her hips, a slight smile playing on her lips, clearly very pleased with Chen Feng's address of her as "boss lady."

"What's there to prepare? With the two of us here, we're sure to be number one."

Chen Feng wasn't exaggerating. Not to mention the skills the Moon Dog had mastered, its current attributes were far superior to those of ordinary spirit beasts.

For example, Li Chengfeng's Earth Black Bear, after being left with Chen Feng for so many days, only managed to reach a physical and mental attribute of just over 40 points, and that was only after eating high-grade fruits every day.

Other people's spirit beasts don't receive this kind of treatment, so their growth rate is definitely not as fast as that of the Earth Black Bear.

Whether it's Chen Feng's Moonhound or Li Shihe's Purple Flame Sable, either one of them could easily take on the opposing team of five.

“That’s true, but I’ve heard some rumors.” Li Shihe walked up to Chen Feng and put her arms around his waist.

"What news?" Chen Feng's hands naturally wouldn't stay still either, patrolling back and forth on Li Shihe's beautiful back.

"The teams that ranked in the top few of the competition will be going to the provincial capital this time."

"Where are you going?" Chen Feng asked, his eyes wide.

Leaving Jiangcheng?

Chen Feng was extremely unhappy.

"A beginner-level secret realm has been discovered in the provincial capital. Only bronze-level spirit beast masters are allowed to enter. It is said that there are many resources inside, and we are going to develop the secret realm."

"Wait, this doesn't make sense, does it? We haven't even advanced to the Black Iron level yet, why are we getting involved?"

Chen Feng couldn't understand this operation at all.

"With senior students leading the way, we're just going to broaden our horizons; we don't need to be pioneers."

"I see..." Chen Feng was conflicted.

He really didn't want to go.

However, it seems that Li Shihe really wants to go.

"Ding, quest triggered. Enter the beginner secret realm and obtain at least 100 spirit crystals. The more spirit crystals you obtain, the higher the reward. Quest reward: random talent."

"What?"

Chen Feng suddenly froze, and his hands became still.

talent?

Can humans possess talent?

Isn't talent something exclusive to spirit beasts?

"What's wrong?" Li Shihe noticed that Chen Feng was acting strangely.

"It's alright, the secret realm should produce spirit crystals, right?"

Li Shihe nodded upon hearing this and said, "There are definitely spirit crystals, especially in secret realms that have not been explored before, there will be quite a few spirit crystals."

"Hey, okay then." Chen Feng smiled.

The more spirit crystals you obtain, the better the rewards.

Talent is something that you should have as much of as possible.

"Why do you have such an evil smile? What are you planning to do?" Li Shihe knew Chen Feng quite well, and she knew that Chen Feng's smile was very strange.

"What can I do? Save up more for my wife."

Who do you want to marry?

"Of course I'll marry you."

“He has some conscience, but not much.” Li Shihe smiled smugly.

Li Shihe did not leave tonight.

However, nothing major happened between Chen Feng and Li Shihe; they were just being affectionate.

After all, they have to participate in the competition the next day. It wouldn't be fun if one of them was listless and the other couldn't walk.

The next morning, Chen Feng handed the shop over to Xiao Shan and Xiao Ying to manage. Everything was prepared, and Chen Feng, the shop owner, didn't need to be in the shop.

Then, under the gossipy gazes of the two, Chen Feng took Li Shihe's hand and entered the city.

"Should we tell the patriarch about this?" one of the people secretly following Li Shihe asked hesitantly.

"You can say it if you want, but I'm not saying it," the other person replied firmly.

The patriarch only told them to protect Li Shihe's safety, but gave no other instructions.

If their young mistress finds out that they were the ones who tattled on them behind their backs, will they still have a good life?

Others may only see Li Shihe as a quiet little princess, but those who have protected her for years know that Li Shihe is actually a little cunning, and anyone who offends her will definitely suffer the consequences.

"If you don't want to talk about it, then don't. Why are you getting so worked up?"

"If you don't want to live a good life, go ahead and do your own thing, don't drag me into it."

"I was just asking, who said I was really going to report it? Don't get me into trouble."

"Alright, you two stop fooling around and let's go."

……

In front of the Lingyuan gate.

The appearance of Chen Feng and Li Shihe became a sight to behold.

"No, where's my Great Black Bear?" Li Chengfeng's eyes widened when he saw Chen Feng.

"Huh? In the store?" Chen Feng asked, puzzled.

"In the store? Do you know what we're supposed to be doing today?" Li Chengfeng was speechless.

He had thought Chen Feng might not be very reliable, but he hadn't expected him to be this unreliable.

"The Spirit Academy Grand Competition!"

"Yes, today is the Spirit Academy Grand Competition. We are teammates, and we are supposed to send our spirit beasts to fight."

"So what?" Chen Feng naturally knew all of this.

"So where is my Great Black Bear?"

Li Chengfeng has gone mad. He's already given us all these hints, and you're still pretending to be innocent?

The Wang sisters arrived at this time, and they were laughing hysterically.

"Ah, well, why don't you go yourself?" Chen Feng suddenly realized.

"Me? I give up!"

After saying that, Li Chengfeng ran away.

“He said he admits it.” Chen Feng looked at Li Shihe.

"If you're not happy, then beat him up." Li Shihe raised her little fist.

The Wang sisters laughed heartily, showing no sign of stopping.

In the shadows, among the crowd watching this side, Chen Yang was staring at Chen Feng with a venomous gaze.
