Chapter 28
My little friend is now somewhat attractive? Whatever, I'm serious about cultivating
"Duckling, come on, get ready for some extra food!"
Night fell in Shen Shu'an's cave, where the little white dragon stood with a serious expression.
I'm still completely confused about the Transfiguration technique I learned this morning?
It's okay, I, Shen Shuan, will make up for it with my sweat and hard work!
Duck, add some!
[Ding, Host, mastering Transfiguration requires 1500 points. You currently have 1450 points. You do not have enough points.]
Shen Shu'an: "?"
"Wait a minute, why does my Dragon Language Proficiency only cost 500 points, while this little Polymorph spell costs more than my great Dragon Language?"
[Host, dragons are rare, and there are few buyers. Due to supply and demand, Dragon Language Essence is usually discounted by 10% annually.]
However, shapeshifting has a wide range of applications; both humans and demons must learn it.
The prices of items in the system shop are affected not only by the intrinsic value of the items but also by supply and demand.
Shen Shu'an fell silent, and all the economic knowledge she had acquired in junior and senior high school flowed through her mind.
Oh, Shen Shu'an understands, after all, she studied it, but she doesn't want to understand!
"Waaah, no!"
Xiaolong, acting coquettishly, silently lay on the quilt, curling himself into a ball.
"No, duck, I want to master this Transfiguration technique tonight. I've already planned to transform into human form tomorrow and practice my swordsmanship extensively."
[…Host, you don't have enough points, so you can't conjure up a duck.]
"Can you buy on credit, get a loan, or sell it in two parts?"
The little white dragon raised its head, its large, clear, ice-blue eyes sparkling brightly, shining even in the darkness.
【…】
[Host, not to be rude, but you still haven't paid back the 100 points you borrowed. Of course, there's no rush.]
[But are you really sure you want to continue with the loan? Even though your credit limit has increased, the three-month interest-free period is gone.]
Regarding the option to split the section into upper and lower parts, the mall doesn't currently offer that service. However, now that I have higher access levels, I can apply for it.
Shen Shu'an: "..."
Shen Shuan sat up and pondered for a while, then "snap" he darted out of the room and flew straight toward the teleportation array.
[Host, what are you doing? Where are you going?]
Shen Shuan said without turning her head, "I'm going to work hard and earn some more emotional points."
A few minutes later, the little white dragon appeared in front of the Dragon Palace in the center of Dragon Island in a magnificent manner.
This was the first time Shen Shuan had come to see Xuan Yi and had actually seen the Dragon Palace.
Looking at the luxurious Dragon Palace standing amidst the clouds in the night sky, still radiating light, Shen Shu'an stood frozen in place.
"hiss."
In the deep blue night sky, golden eaves rose in layers, piercing the heavens.
Half-hidden by clouds and mist, the entire Dragon Palace seemed to float above Dragon Island.
The palace is constructed entirely of warm jade and black crystal, with upturned eaves that meander like a dragon's head. The halls are arranged in a continuous, staggered pattern, and the glazed tiles reflect starlight.
[Beep, host is detected to be greatly shocked; emotion value collected...]
"roll."
Shen Shuan snapped out of her reverie and chuckled at the mischievous duckling in her mind.
Well, she admitted, she was a little shocked.
Although I already knew my friend was from a wealthy family, seeing it with my own eyes still gave me a different feeling.
Just then, a soft footstep sounded beside me.
Shen Shuan turned her head to look and found that it was the black-robed number one she had seen a few days ago.
The other person emerged from the darkness and said softly to Shen Shu'an, "Young friend Shen, is there anything I can help you with?"
Shen Shuan was not frightened; she had already prepared herself mentally before coming.
"Grandpa, I'm looking for Xuan Yi."
The old man in black robes lowered his head, remained silent for two seconds, and then, as if receiving a command, raised his head and said to Shen Shu'an, "Young friend Shen, my apologies."
As soon as he finished speaking, Shen Shuan felt a sense of lightness throughout his body, and then the scene before him suddenly changed.
Looking again, he found himself in front of a study.
Shen Shu'an: "..."
She puffed out her cheeks, then felt a little nauseous again.
This cultivation world is like a washing machine, constantly turning and rolling around.
What are you doing? It's not like her clothes are dirty!
Once her cultivation level is high enough, she will eventually create a way of traveling that is friendly to people who are prone to teleportation!
Before Shen Shuan could even knock on the door, it creaked open.
The next second, a black-haired boy with a familiar face, but a few years older than Shen Shuan remembered, appeared in front of Shen Shuan.
Shen Shuan was taken aback and subconsciously began to scrutinize the woman, momentarily captivated by her beauty.
If she's not mistaken, it should be Xuan Yi.
However, it looked much older than the toddler it appeared to be last time.
She looked to be about fifteen or sixteen years old, with long, black hair that reached her shoulders. The bold features between her brows were already beginning to show, but her narrow, sharp eyes now appeared gentle.
He seems to be quite handsome.
Okay, it's not just Xiao Shuai.
Shen Shuan blinked, her eyes red with envy. She wagged her little tail twice and flew straight towards the person.
"Xuan Yi~"
He only stopped when he got so close that Xuan Yi raised his hand and pressed his index finger against his head.
"Why are you here?"
Xuan Yi looked at the little white dragon in front of him, a hint of doubt appearing in his eyes.
It was almost 9 p.m. at this moment.
Moreover, she had never contacted him before.
Although Shen Shu'an's head was being pressed against Xuan Yi's, Xuan Yi's movements were gentle.
She raised her head, pushed her fingers away, and explained to Xuan Yi, "Waaah, I didn't understand the transformation spell today."
As she spoke, a look of anticipation appeared on her face: "You must have understood, can you explain it to me?"
After speaking, Shen Shuan raised her large, sincere, eager-to-learn, and humble eyes.
Xuan Yi: "..."
[Beep, 50 emotion points collected.]
Xuan Yi remained silent for two seconds, then turned his head, sighed softly, and sat down in the chair in front of the desk.
He raised his hand and waved it, making the study even brighter.
"What don't you understand?"
His voice was somewhat subtle, with a slight graininess.
His tone of voice, like his usual demeanor, was calm and steady.
"What does it mean to reconstruct the body in one's consciousness? What does it mean to be able to take form at the slightest thought...?"
Shen Shu'an genuinely didn't understand, and she earnestly explained what she didn't understand.
Although she's quite attractive now, she's serious about cultivating immortality!
Xuan Yi listened attentively, then gently took out a small cushion and placed it on the desk so that Shen Shu'an could sit down.
"Hmm, Aunt Mei asked you to memorize the biographical diagrams. Have you studied them?"
After listening to Shen Shuan's question, he gently raised his hand, and a drawing showing the human body's skeletal structure appeared in his hand.
Under the warm yellow light, the paper had a slightly yellowish tint, and this warm color also tinged the fingertips with their distinct knuckles and jade-like skin.
Shen Shuan looked at him, then suddenly looked up at Xuan Yi again, her gaze sweeping over his glossy black hair, and she subtly curved her lips into a smile.
I still remember when we first met, Xuan Yi had that uneven short hair.
After so many days, his old injury has finally healed.
Night fell in Shen Shu'an's cave, where the little white dragon stood with a serious expression.
