Chapter 95 Ruoshui City
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully raising Ruohan's favorability to 69%. Rewards: 3000 points, 300 Mandarin Duck Stones, 100 Intermediate Cultivation Pills, 3000 Demon Crystals, 3 Jade Bracelets, 10 Mermaid Pearls, 3 Rainbow Feather Robes, 3 Cloud Light Holy Armor, 3 Mystic Spirit Robes, 5 Azure Sky Spirit Pearls, 5 Xihe Spirit Pearls, 3 Moon God Swords, 3 Ruyi Qiankun Fans, 3 Ice Soul Swords, and 5 Intermediate Storage Bags! We hope you will continue your efforts!"
Lu Jinyan raised an eyebrow. "It's gotten higher again?"
Although they didn't say anything, they were both incredibly happy. Neither of them spoke a word the rest of the way, and they soon arrived at the pharmacy. Ruohan helped them prepare several commonly used medicines, and after paying, they carried their bags back to the inn.
When they got back, everyone was already up and ready. After a simple breakfast, the group set off again.
Before leaving, Lu Jinyan specially brewed a herbal decoction for Lin Churan to treat her cold. The pharmacies were closed when she arrived last night, so she didn't buy the medicine for her. Today, after she bought the medicine, she asked the waiter to brew a dose.
Lin Churan was actually much better, but she still obediently drank the medicine, feeling a warmth in her heart. Having gotten used to being alone, she was now experiencing warmth again.
The carriage set off again. Lu Jinyan made an excuse that she had gotten up too early that morning and needed to rest for a while, so she closed her eyes. In reality, she went to her spatial storage to rummage through her pile of treasures, which was filled with boxes of all sizes.
Each box was filled with all sorts of things, mostly jewelry and clothes. The weapons were alright, since she had used them to synthesize quite a few mid-level magic artifacts. The system said that once she reached level four, she could synthesize high-level magic artifacts. Lu Jinyan had stockpiled a bunch, planning to use them to upgrade the system after it was upgraded.
After packing her things, she pretended to have just woken up, opened her eyes, checked the time, and realized it was almost noon. She then asked Yuan Yi to find a place to park and rest, and to make lunch.
Lunch was prepared by Liu Qing and Liu Xu. These two girls had completely mastered cooking and refused to let Chu Chu help them, saying that they were young ladies and servants, and that these were things they should do.
Even though Lu Jinyan did not treat them as servants, the two still forbade them from doing anything.
Chu Chu's cultivation has progressed very smoothly recently, reaching level five. Lu Jinyan sighed, "This girl is really hardworking, persisting in cultivation every day, unlike me. I just laze around every day."
Although Yuan Yi had only advanced one level before stagnating, he still persisted in his daily cultivation. Lu Jinyan, however, had no desire to compete with these "scroll kings." She was better suited to taking pills and indulging in leisure.
Of course, teasing Ruohan occasionally and seeing his rosy, handsome face is also a pleasant thing.
The carriage arrived at the foot of Ruoshui City's city gate on the afternoon of the eighth day. Looking at the imposing city gate, Lu Jinyan gasped. Sure enough, what she saw on television was different from what she actually saw.
Every time I watch period dramas, I think the city gate towers are tall, imposing, and majestic. But now that I've seen them with my own eyes, I find them even more breathtaking than what I've seen on TV.
"Let's go in!"
At Lu Jinyan's command, Yuan Yi drove the carriage into the city. Lu Jinyan gently lifted a crack in the carriage window. Looking at the wide streets, the shops of all sizes, and the dazzling array of goods, she thought to herself, "Indeed, the novels didn't lie. This kind of big place is truly different."
The carriage circled the streets before finally stopping in front of an inn. The group got off the carriage, and a waiter immediately led it to the backyard to feed the horses.
As the group entered the inn, a pretty middle-aged woman approached them. Seeing Lu Jinyan and the others, the woman smiled and greeted them, "Is that Lu girl? You've finally arrived!"
"Yes, it's me. You must be Sister-in-law Furong. You're so beautiful!" Furong is Uncle Mu's daughter-in-law. Before she left, Uncle Mu and the others repeatedly told her that if she got to Ruoshui City, she must go and find his son and daughter-in-law and ask them to take good care of her.
"You sweet girl, you have such a sweet tongue. The rooms are all prepared for you. You must be tired from the long journey. Go upstairs and rest for a while. Oh, by the way, you can use the kitchen as you like. Father and Mother have already told me. If you need anything, just let me know!" Furong looked at the little girl in front of her with a smile. Her mother was right, this girl was lovable just by looking at her.
"Okay, thank you very much, Sister-in-law Furong!" Lu Jinyan bowed obediently to Furong, then went upstairs. To be honest, they had been traveling rather hastily these past few days and were quite exhausted. What should have been a ten-day journey was completed in just eight days.
The reason is that Mo Xuan's favorability has increased by one point, and it is now at 98%. There are only two points left to complete the task, so she can't wait to get to Ruoshui City and fill the last two points!
Another reason was that she really didn't want to ride in the carriage anymore. At first, riding in the carriage was quite fun because of the swaying and rocking, but after a while, she felt that her back, waist, and buttocks were sore, and she felt uncomfortable all over her body.
The journey has been quite slow, and we've been delayed a lot. We originally planned to arrive in Ruoshui City before the Lunar New Year, but it's been delayed until now.
So, apart from eating and resting, they spent most of their time traveling these past few days, and they were indeed quite tired. After going up to the second floor, they went back to their rooms, washed up, ate some dry food, and rested.
Not to mention Lu Jinyan, even Chu Chu and the others were exhausted. They didn't even want to eat, let alone cook. They all fell asleep as soon as their heads hit the pillow. Lu Jinyan didn't wake up until almost noon the next day. After she got up and washed up, she went downstairs and ran into Chu Chu and the others eating.
Seeing Lu Jinyan come down, Liu Xu quickly served her a bowl of rice as well: "Miss is awake? We thought Miss wouldn't wake up so soon, so we didn't call you."
"It's alright, you guys eat. I just woke up and don't have much of an appetite, so I'll just eat a little bit." Lu Jinyan waved her hand, took the bowl Liu Xu handed her, and without any hesitation, sat down and started eating.
She wasn't very hungry, but she still ate a small bowl of rice. After the meal, she thought that since she had gone through so much trouble to get to Ruoshui City, she should stay a while longer before leaving. Staying at the inn all the time wouldn't be very convenient.
So he walked over to the counter and looked at Furong, who was doing the accounting, and said, "Sister-in-law Furong, do you know where there are houses for rent around here?"
