"Xuan Yi, give me the money." "I want to explore the town."

"Okay, okay, that's great."

Shen Shu'an chirped softly, already dressed in her thick robe, the soft spirit lamb wool cuffs piled together, her hands tucked inside.

"Alright, let's go!"

Shen Shu'an stepped onto her flying sword, turned back to Xuan Yi, and said, "Xuan Yi, hurry, hurry, let's go!"

Xuan Yi looked at the girl's spirited smile and the hair fluttering beside her face, and said, "Slow down," before stepping onto his flying sword.

He caught up with Shen Shu'an in an instant and stood parallel to her.

"Shen Shuan, you're only at the Qi Refining stage, you shouldn't be flying so fast."

"Yesterday I saw you flying on your sword like flowing water, but you were too hasty. You should be more steady."

Shen Shu'an was hit in the knee again. She turned her head and said, "Alright, alright, Your Highness, stop reading. I understand."

As he spoke, Shen Shuan slowed down a bit, but couldn't help muttering to himself, "Hmph, give me a year, and I might even reach the Golden Core stage."

After a moment of silence, Xuan Yi said, "It won't take a year."

"But I reached the Nascent Soul stage six months later."

Shen Shu'an: "..."

Although she already knew this, it's still so annoying.

"But I'll catch up eventually."

"It'll take you several years to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, right?"

Shen Shu'an smiled confidently: "I'm confident I can catch up with you before you reach the Nascent Soul stage."

As she spoke, she maneuvered the flying sword beneath her feet toward the town below.

But after a few breaths, seeing that Xuan Yi was still silently following beside her without saying a word, she glanced at him again and asked, "You don't believe me?"

Xuan Yi lowered his eyes, his long eyelashes obscuring the expression in them. After a few seconds, he raised his eyes and met Shen Shu'an's gaze. "I believe you."

"However, since you say so, I will work even harder to make that day come later."

  (Please remember the website 20 ...

Shen Shuan was taken aback. Why was he still so competitive? Was it so hard for him to accept being caught up by her?

But then her eyes lit up as she remembered her glittering side quest.

So he clenched his fist and earnestly cheered the other person on, saying, "Then good luck!"

Xuan Yi: "..."

"Oh."

He finally couldn't help but laugh in anger.

It's always like this; what exactly is she thinking about?

"Look, it's a town! Xuan Yi, let's go down and take a look!"

"I haven't explored the town of Beizhou yet."

Shen Shuan noticed the town below and immediately became interested.

Forget about Beizhou Town, she's never even visited an ancient town.

The modern, commercialized ancient town of my previous life just doesn't have that feel at all; everywhere you look, people are holding up their phones and livestreaming.

Thinking about it, Shen Shu'an touched his left pocket and then his right pocket.

However, no matter how much she rummaged through her pocket, she couldn't conjure up any silver from a pocket that didn't have any.

But with the town right in front of them, Shen Shu'an immediately reached out to Xuan Yi beside her, blinked, and said, "Xuan Yi, give me the money."

"I want to explore the town."

Xuan Yi: "?"

Xuan Yi was no longer moved; he had become somewhat immune to it.

Meeting those bright, icy blue eyes, she quietly took out the silver she had prepared from her storage ring and placed it in Shen Shu'an's palm.

He even thoughtfully asked, "Do you need any more gold or copper coins?"

Based on his experience, the silver was probably too much for the vendor to make change from.

Shen Shu'an nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Yes, yes, I want them all!"

……

Afternoon, Sweet Fruit Town.

Qiao Pingsheng, who was setting up a stall at the market, suddenly focused his gaze.

Looking in his direction, I saw a woman and a man walking together, the man's hands already full of things.

The woman's hands were even more out of the question; her entire body was covered in things.

Qiao Pingsheng quickly cleared his throat and placed his sign, which read "Fortune Telling by Eight Characters, Guiding the Way," neatly in front of his stall.

Just kidding, this is obviously a wealthy client!

Sure enough, the woman's gaze swept over him, lingered curiously for a few seconds, then she raised her hand and pointed at Qiao Pingsheng before turning to speak to the man beside her.

Qiao Pingsheng remained outwardly calm, but in reality, he listened intently.

"Xuan Yi, there's a fortune teller here! Let's go check it out!"

Xuan Yi looked at Shen Shu'an, who was wearing new things on her hands, fingers, neck, head, and waist, and holding food in her hands.

"...Okay, just don't buy it."

He didn't want to say anything discouraging, but his hands had been borrowed by Shen Shu'an, and it wasn't convenient to do so in the market.

Both of them used shapeshifting magic to change their appearance and body shape, transforming into mortals, except that their robes looked slightly more refined.

Shen Shu'an waved her hand, looked around, and transmitted her voice to Xuan Yi, "Hey, Xuan Yi, I'll just find a secluded spot later and put the things in my storage ring, okay?"

"Let's look around some more. Isn't this your first time out too?"

Shen Shu'an blinked her big eyes. The most important thing she vaguely remembered was that the male protagonist in the original book set up a fortune-telling stall in this town.

He stayed there for a total of three years. That's right, Qiao Pingsheng stayed in this town with only ordinary people for three years.

Because he wanted to master the "Qiankun Divination Technique," and the requirement for mastering this technique was to be able to tell fortunes and predict good and bad luck for others.

If it's a highly accomplished person, it can be mastered in ten calculations.

However, if we count ordinary cultivators, then there are thousands of them.

But Qiao Pingsheng, that guy, didn't dare to take any risks at all. He spent three years calculating the calamities of a mortal and finally mastered the "Qiankun Divination Technique".

Furthermore, if they see a cultivator disguised as a tourist, they will pretend to be asleep and close their eyes for a nap, deliberately not counting it.

Therefore, we can't use storage rings now, because using them would expose everything.

Seeing that Xuan Yi didn't react, Shen Shu'an blinked her big eyes again: "Please~"

Unfortunately, Xuan Yi looked at Shen Shu'an's eyes, which were no longer big enough, and instead of feeling anything, he wanted to laugh.

The woman Shen Shu'an created this time using her shapeshifting magic was a bit chubby. Although she was innocent and cute, her eyes were not big and now looked like two small beans.

"Heh." Xuan Yi turned his head, suppressing a laugh, and said, "Fine, go ahead and wander around if you want."

Seeing that Xuan Yi had agreed, Shen Shu'an immediately led him happily toward the fortune-telling stall ahead.

An elderly man with white hair and drooping eyelids sat behind the stall. His white beard hung down to his chest, and he was dressed in a black and white Taoist robe, looking every bit the part of a very old man.

Xuan Yi glanced around and quickly noticed something was wrong.

Although the person disguised himself and deliberately concealed his presence, no matter how you looked at it, it was not the soul fire that an old man should have.

His bloodline is special; if he wanted to, he could see three soul flames flickering on the shoulders of others.

For example, Shen Shu'an's soul fire was exceptionally bright, as dazzling as her dragon origin.

Although this one's soul fire wasn't very active, it was still something that an ordinary old man couldn't possess.

But Xuan Yi looked away, glancing at the back of Shen Shu'an's excited head, and still didn't say anything to stop her.

Oh well, let her be if she likes it.

Moreover, how could she not see the flaws in it?

"Old man, how much do you charge for fortune telling?"

Shen Shuan arrived at the stall and immediately adopted the arrogant and spoiled manner of a rich young lady.

She fiddled with the copper coins and octagonal symbols on the stall, curiously observing Qiao Pingsheng.

She looked at the sign on the stall and laughed again: "No freebies?"

"What an arrogant tone, you old man."
