Chapter 134 Memories 4
"The Glazed Coins are composed entirely of pure, attribute-free divine power, so theoretically speaking, everyone in the divine realm, except for me, possesses Glazed Coins!"
The power within Yu Liu's body is not divine power, but rather a form of faith, which is why she is completely unable to condense glass coins.
“Strictly speaking, you also have some!” She pointed at Junran and nodded.
"Formed from divine power?" Junran stroked his chin thoughtfully upon hearing Yu Liu's explanation. "High-purity divine power, condensed into a physical form?... Wait, didn't you just say it was attribute-less divine power? The divine power within my body seems to be fire-attribute, so this still doesn't work!"
As Junran spoke, his eyes were drawn to a thin purple card in Yu Liu's hand. Based on his years of experience in the human world, this thin purple card looked like a bank card, and its function might be similar. The things that Yu Liu bought were not expensive. On the contrary, if he didn't buy something decent, the shopkeeper might break his own card!
Thinking of this, he secretly glanced at the proprietress who was talking to a customer, and continued his calculations. He didn't have any glass coins on him right now because he was new to the place. Once he had been here for a while, he would definitely get out of this predicament. He was short of money now, so he could borrow some from Xiao Yuliu and pay her back when he became successful! Hmm, that's what I'll do!
"Little Yu Liu, do you think I always took good care of you in the previous little world?" Jun Ran squatted down to make himself appear more sincere, looking directly into Yu Liu's eyes with a smile on his face.
"Yes, that's right. If it weren't for your and Miao Yeyu's cooperation, my wish wouldn't have been fulfilled so perfectly!" Yu Liu nodded, finally making up her mind. She picked up one of the crescent-shaped weapons, put down the other flying sword that could attack automatically, and prepared to pay the bill while holding her things.
"Look how well I've taken care of you before, now that I'm having some difficulties, shouldn't you help me?"
After saying that, Junran winked playfully and looked at Yuliu with anticipation.
How can I help you?
“I promised the proprietress I'd pick out something decent from her as compensation for my disrespect, but as you can see,” Junran’s voice lowered slightly, “I’m short on cash right now, and things here are expensive, but I can’t go back on my promise, so…”
His face showed an expression that could only be understood but not explained.
Yu Liu immediately understood what he meant, but a troubled look appeared on her face: "But... after buying all these things, I won't have any pocket money left..."
She held up the pile of weapons she was carrying, feeling slightly guilty.
"Isn't it?!"
Junran let out a scream!
"Hey buddy, watch your voice when you speak~ No talking here~"
Suddenly, a hand landed on Junran's shoulder again, accompanied by the landlady's voice.
Junran froze immediately. This problem hadn't been solved yet, so how come the landlady was back so quickly? Oh no!
"Hey bro, what were you worried about? Tell me, maybe I can help you solve it~ Also, bro, have you chosen what you promised to buy me?"
The proprietress put her left hand on Junran's shoulder and walked from behind him to his right side, looking at him with a smile. Her words were nothing short of a threat to Junran.
If she hadn't made her choice yet, would the proprietress break both her arms according to the rules? Just thinking about it is awful!
"Um, ma'am..."
Before Junran could finish speaking, a slender finger pressed against his lips, stopping him from saying anything and drawing his attention completely to the fair finger in front of him.
"Don't call me Boss Lady, call me Dragon Lady."
"Oh!" Junran responded blankly before finally coming to his senses. "Um... Dragon Lady, you know I'm new here. I only realized I'm a little... broke after I promised you. So I was thinking, could I extend the time I made that promise to you? Once I earn some money, I'll definitely come back and buy the most expensive one from you!!"
"that's not allowed!"
The dragon girl refused without hesitation: "Besides, it's not a question of whether you can make money anymore!"
She shrugged and pulled out a graceful woman who was walking behind her.
The woman was draped in a pale yellow gauze dress, which billowed as she walked, and a faint light enveloped her, adding to her ethereal beauty. Her oval face was lightly made up, her expression was blank, and her hair was simply tied up with a plain hairpin. She would normally have made a very good impression, but her gaze seemed to carry an air of superiority, which deliberately lowered her overall appeal.
"I thought he was my guest, but it turns out he's here to see you," the Dragon Girl muttered to herself.
Junran heard this and was somewhat surprised: "Looking for me?"
"Yes! You're Junran?"
The other person nodded slightly, his gaze sweeping over with a hint of disdain for someone who was poor: "Those who climb up from the bottom are lowly!"
Her attitude infuriated Junran, who was about to roll up her sleeves when Yuliu, who had been standing to the side, quickly pulled Junran back.
"What are you doing? Why are you pulling me?"
Because of the anger in his heart, Junran's tone had become unfriendly.
Yu Liu: "..." How should I tactfully tell him that he can't beat the other person?
Before Yu Liu could figure out what to say, the aloof "fairy" noticed her: "Oh my, isn't this little Yu Liu? Oh my, it's quite rare. Why aren't you cultivating in the Samsara Palace? What are you doing here? It's so dangerous outside. Laozi is really carefree to allow you to come out. Aren't you afraid something might happen and you'll lose your life?"
She spoke rudely, her tone even carrying a strong sense of malice.
"Jade Willow? So that's the legendary Jade Willow that can't be used for cultivation?"
"She's quite cute, but it's a pity!"
"Who are you calling cute?! Just because she's cute doesn't mean I'm not! She's just a pretty face that got her adopted by Laozi. A demon who can't cultivate, she's a disgrace to our demon race!"
"Exactly, exactly! They even said it's the only wishing altar that's become sentient since the beginning of time. It's hilarious! I bet the wishing altars in the past didn't refuse to become sentient, but rather knew the consequences, so they foolishly became sentient, right? Hahaha..."
Various whispers came from the side. Yu Liu and Jun Ran had already attracted attention by standing here for a while, not to mention after the Dragon Girl and the "fairy" came over. When the "fairy" said the previous sentence, she deliberately raised her voice. Everyone and the demons present had some cultivation and heard every word.
Yu Liu had become somewhat accustomed to being ridiculed and gossiped about so relentlessly. Although Laozi had protected her quite well, these things were indeed unavoidable. Laozi could silence one person, but he couldn't silence the mouths of thousands upon thousands of demons.
"I only appeared in the Seventh Heaven and I lost my life. The security in the Heavenly Court is too unsafe. Oh dear, it seems I should mention it to Uncle Jade Emperor and ask him to strengthen the security. I should also commend Linwu for your spirit of offering your own ideas~" Yu Liu smiled with her eyes crinkling, seemingly innocent. Coupled with her current short and stocky figure, she looked truly innocent.
Having been mocked so casually so many times, even a clay figure has some temper, let alone Yu Liu, who felt she was a bit petty. She remembered them all. This method of retaliation was taught to her by Yue Sheng. Although her cultivation was not as good as others in the God Realm, in terms of status, with various big shots from the Heavenly Court standing behind her, no one could compare to her!
"Are you threatening me?" Lin Wu's face darkened instantly.
"No, I'm just telling the truth!" Yu Liu smiled insincerely, her eyes darting around, and reached out to tug at the dragon maiden beside her: "Dragon maiden, let's settle the bill."
"Then put the things down and I'll calculate the price for you." Lin Wu's personality was disliked throughout the entire God Realm. Even though the Dragon Girl was trying to protect herself, she had no choice but to step forward for the sake of her business.
Yu Liu hurriedly looked for a place to put her things, intending to avoid Lin Wu, and also struggled to tug at the hem of Jun Ran's armor, trying to take him with her.
Lin Wu's presence here, and her target Jun Ran, must be because of that matter. We need to get him away quickly, or he'll be in trouble!
"What are you doing? If you want to pay the bill, go pay it yourself! I want to have a serious talk with this woman who's spewing filth. Get lost!"
Unfortunately, Junran did not understand Yuliu's good intentions.
"You poor wretch, what did you say to me?" Lin Wu's aura intensified: "You dare to insult me? It seems you don't know who I am!"
"How would I know who you are? Even if someone told me, I wouldn't bother listening!"
Junran secretly swallowed, sensing something was wrong. This woman's aura seemed rather powerful... Could she be another one with a higher cultivation level than him...?
“Then I’ll tell you myself…” Lin Wu’s imposing aura suddenly receded, and she looked at Jun Ran with a playful expression: “I am the assistant of Mother Earth, Horyu. Oh right, you probably don’t know who Mother Earth, Horyu, is, right? To put it simply, she is in charge of the land, including the land of the Heavenly Court.”
Junran was somewhat bewildered, completely unaware of why the other party was telling him this. Seeing this, Yuliu quickly explained, "Every new person who obtains a divine position is automatically allocated a piece of land and provided with simple accommodations upon arriving in the Divine Realm. However, these accommodations are not free; they are charged. Linwu is in charge of collecting these fees. Moreover, in the Heavenly Court, if one wants to live well, buying or selling houses is all under their jurisdiction... Most importantly, they can adjust house prices..."
Therefore, the reason Lin Wu, who is in charge of collecting fees, is here to find Jun Ran is very likely that she wants to ask him for the land fees, and Jun Ran has offended her and is penniless...
Junran: "..." Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing? What happened?
"Now that you know, this is your bill for the first month after arriving in the God Realm. Remember to come back here and pay the fees listed here, or I'll have to send you to jail!"
Lin Wu reached into her bosom and pulled out a golden piece of paper. She unfolded it and placed it in front of Jun Ran, then snapped her fingers arrogantly. The fee of ten glazed coins, clearly written on the paper, became one hundred thousand glazed coins. Her smile was extremely arrogant. She casually threw the paper away, enjoyed the bewildered expression on Jun Ran's face, and finally turned and left with a satisfied look.
"...╥﹏╥ My life is over!"
Suddenly burdened with debt, Junran lost all interest in being angry. She sat dejectedly on the floor, beginning to question the meaning of life. Perhaps she should start planning her life in prison… Damn it! Why was she so unlucky?!
Yu Liu stood to one side, weapons in her arms, and suddenly felt that Jun Ran might not be suitable for the God Realm. The first time he came, he offended a group of rabbit spirits, but the second time was better...
“Um—I suddenly remembered what Yuesheng said when we left…” Yu Liu said hesitantly as a scene flashed through her mind.
"Yuesheng?" Junran didn't remember who Yuesheng was, but when Yuliu mentioned it before leaving, he remembered that the man who had hit him (Yuesheng) had said that he would receive 80 Glazed Coins as a reward for protecting Yuliu in the next world she was about to go to...
Junran looked at the golden paper at her feet and suddenly laughed. What a turn of events...
Then, after Yu Liu finished paying the bill and told Long Niang that they would come back later to choose the things she had promised, the two returned to the Samsara Palace. Yue Sheng did not object to Jun Ran's return and coldly signed the agreement with him, paying him 80 glass coins in advance.
Having been lured onto a pirate ship, Junran and Yu Liu transmigrated together two days later, but—
Looking at the group of beggars around him, dressed in tattered clothes, filthy and with messy hair, huddled in the straw pile, and then looking at his own tattered clothes, he tentatively reached out and rubbed his blackened arms. After rubbing off a thick layer of grime, Junran, Junran… had already cried himself unconscious in the toilet…
