In Yuanshen, no one understands holy relics better than me

The big magic hat was removed and the ponytail was let go.

The black hair fell like a waterfall, part of it was hammered on the chest, and part of it was hanging on the table.

Because he was too serious, he didn't notice the dark shadow outside the window.

A large amount of manuscript paper was pressed under his hands. Judging from the imprint, it should be an invitation draft from the "Steam Bird Newspaper".

Mona's only stable source of income is the contribution fee for the horoscope column of "Steam Bird".

As the best-selling newspaper in Mond, this manuscript fee is not small.

Mona, who received a stable monthly income, did not bid farewell to her life of poverty.

As an astrologer, the pace of seeking knowledge must never stop, this is what she said to herself.

Every time she gets the remuneration, Mona will buy a large amount of astrological materials, and various expenses continue...

So, back to abject poverty again.

This process is repeated every month.

"It's really Mona who lives here..."

Xia Tian had guessed earlier, after all, the Mond people who use water elements seem to be only Mona and Barbara.

Of course Barbara lives in the church, and such a sealed house fits Mona's witch image very well.

Ready to knock on the glass to say hello, but after hesitating for a while, Xia Tian's figure quietly left.

A few minutes later, he came to the window again with an extra delicious Mond potato cake in his hand.

This is the last portion from the Deer Hunter's restaurant, which Sarah intended to feed to the stray cats.

Halfway through, he was cut off by Xia Tian, ​​and was about to feed the lovely Mona.

(??︶`?)

Although I was backstabbed by the official, it's not a big problem, just watch me come back.

Chapter 11 998 per night

lb!lb!Pound pound!

The glass was rattling, not like being chased by the wind.

Looking up, under the night, there is a black silhouette.

Like a frightened little rabbit, Mona immediately dodged and attacked.

Snapped--

A stream of water rushed out, and the upper half of the glass shattered.

Xia Tian fell back on the ground, the collar felt wet and cool.

"It almost broke!"

He quickly touched his chin, he was still so handsome, and he was relieved.

Mona hid in a corner and secretly glanced out the window.

Finding out that it was summer, I opened the window angrily.

"Why are you scaring people... are you a mischievous child?"

Halfway through the conversation, the tip of his nose smelled the aroma of potatoes.

For dinner, I only ate apples picked in the wild. No matter how frugal I lived, I couldn’t live without being hungry.

Watching Mona swallow her saliva unconsciously, Xia Tian handed over the hot potato pancakes: "Here you go."

The windows are flush with the ground, and Xia Tian has to squat down to be at eye level with Mona.

Mona sniffed at the tip of her nose, resisted the temptation, and turned her head: "I don't want it, the great astrologer will never accept this kind of charity!"

It is of course a good thing to be strong-willed, but at this time, I really want to open her head to see if there is a lack of muscle in the design.

"Then why are you willing to eat it?" Xia Tian dangled potato cakes in front of Mona's eyes: "For example, divination for me? It shouldn't be too difficult for a great astrologer, right?"

Unexpectedly, Mona frowned and became angry: "Water divination is a very sacred thing, how can it be exchanged with material?"

Forget this setting, Mona's divination does not charge money, that's why she is so poor.

"Thanks to your reminder, it's time." Mona lay on the window sill, looking at the sky: "Eleven o'clock tonight is the best time for divination."

The sense of ritual is very important. Put on the magic hat again, comb your hair neatly, and still warn: "Don't disturb me, I want to see tomorrow's fortune."

Swipe your hands against the sky, and a pool of transparent soft water spread out, and the water surface reflected the starry sky, clearer than any mirror surface.

"The starry sky twinkles is the fate of everyone. Although the reflection on the water is an illusion, the "truth" will appear..."

The water occupies the disk, the nebula rotates, and the light and shadow interlace.

Xia Tian marveled at the magic at such a close distance, the starry sky reflected by the water divination plate was the most beautiful he had ever seen.

When the starry sky disappeared and the water plate dissipated, the divination that lasted less than 1 minute ended.

"Lucky days for two consecutive days? But it seems that nothing good happened today, and I have to pay back the balance of the planetarium tomorrow..."

Mona was not happy with the result: "The water divination technique given to me is really inaccurate."

"I think it's quite accurate. If you are short of money, maybe someone can help you."

Hearing Mona's sigh, Xia Tian was immediately relieved.

"Are you going to give me money?" If he asked, Mona would probably refuse immediately.

"Do you think that if you look good, you will have that kind of free lunch?" Xia Tian Yao Yao pointed: "I want to make a deal with you."

"Deal?" Mona was puzzled, and made her position clear: "First declare that you don't want to use money to corrupt my water divination technique!"

The squatting body leaned forward, and Xia Tian stretched out his hand:

"If you can let me sleep for one night, I can pay you a fortune..."

boom!

Without saying a word, the closed window almost knocked Xia Tian's nosebleed out.

At the same time, it was accompanied by the sound of Mona getting stuck because she was too surprised or angry:

"you you you……"

Xia Tian covered his nose and explained through the cracked window: "I'm talking about lodging! It's lodging! Don't think about it!"

In the future, we must be cautious in our words and deeds. In case of encountering someone who is ruthless or powerful, such as the most popular one among Liyue Seven Stars, he may be gone with a single charge.

"Lodging?"

After hearing Xia Tian's explanation clearly, Mona hurriedly reshaped her expression, but did not open the window again.

"I didn't mean to be wrong!" Mona argued: "Even if it's a stay, it's unacceptable to be so sudden..."

"This person just came to Mond, and he really has no place to rest. He saved me today..."

"If I can get some income to pay off the final payment of the planetarium...it seems good..."

"No, no, no! What if he sets his sights on my baby? Isn't it leading the wolf into the house..."

"The old woman also said that men cannot be trusted..."

The hesitation in his heart was completely highlighted on the face, Xia Tian had a panoramic view, increasing his sympathy offensive:

"It's really cold outside, I really can't find anyone to turn to, for the sake of helping you..."

"For my favor, I have already bought you a meal and returned it!"

Listening to Mona's tone, she thought it was over, but then she stammered and said:

"It's not impossible to stay overnight, but..."

"Eight hundred a night, no, nine hundred... or a thousand!"

After thinking for a while, Mona stretched out eight fingers, and then simply spread her hands.

She seldom negotiates prices with others, and the manuscript fee for writing a column is as much as the editor gives.

This time, though, her unnatural lion opened her mouth.

Even if it is cut in half, or even directly cut to a hundred moras for one night, it is acceptable.

"In the world I live in, people generally like auspicious numbers, how about 998 for one night?"

Xia Tian's counter-offer was only two moras, which made Mona stunned:

"Are you really willing to spend 998 to stay here with me? Although the hotels in Mond City have been occupied by the envoys of the Winter Kingdom, some of them have been missed! And this house is rented by me..."

There is a hotel in Mond, which is outdated and useful information, but I don't plan to look for it in summer.

"I declare first that I didn't allow you to stay here because of Mora. I just thought you were pitiful. That's right, it was just because I thought you were pitiful. It was definitely not because of Mora!"

Mona explained seriously, but the eyes that rolled from time to time did not cooperate.

The hands that clasped the window were released, and Xia Tian was allowed to jump into the room from the window sill.

"Where do I sleep?"

She swaggered as if she was the master, but within two steps, something blocked her feet.

There are all kinds of debris piled up in the room, which doesn't look like a home at all.

Relying on the dim light, he simply glanced around.

Liyue's ancient books, Xumi's astrolabe... these things cost a lot of money just for the postage, no wonder they are so poor.

"Don't move around, you'll break my babies!"

Mona hurriedly seized Xia Tian to prevent the important treasure from being trampled.

Then, under Xia Tian's weird eyes, she said with a little girl's coyness: "There will be a little chaos at home..."

"Then you are really humble..." Xia Tian scratched his head helplessly.

"It's a little messy, there's no place to stay... the more beautiful the girl's room, the messier it is, is it true?"

Some words only dare to be kept in the heart, so as not to be pierced by the angry water.

Chapter 12 Day One, Closing

The electric crystal lighting system has been around for several years, and the price is not expensive, but Mona still uses the cheapest oil lamp.

The light from the oil lamp was so limited that it couldn't even illuminate the stairs.

Without staying too much on the second floor, Mona pushed and dragged Xia Tian down the stairs.

"Be careful!" Mona reminded.

In an environment that is too dark, only outlines of black objects can be seen, and there is no need to think about it to know that it is a pile of 'treasures'.

There was only a single aisle to connect to the door, and the windows on both sides were sealed.

Xia Tian cautiously groped forward, deeply afraid of breaking something and being ordered to leave.

The lights were on, and various instruments and books were piled up. If it wasn't for Mona's emphasis, they would have thought it was a waste recycling bin somewhere.

With so many 'babies', it's really worrying not to lock the door.

"Don't move, wait for me to clean up."

The aisle was very narrow, and the two were very close, so intentional or unintentional physical contact was unavoidable.

I don't know if it's because of her generous personality or because she has no vigilance towards strange men at all, but Mona doesn't seem to care much about such details.

The fragrance on her body was a little stronger than during the day, it should be shortly after taking a shower, the loose hair ran across the back of Xia Tian's hands, soft and moist that hadn't left yet.

The four-pointed star-shaped ornaments were all removed, but the clothes were not changed, and the half set of witch costume was even more attractive.

"Do you want me to help..."

Just standing aside like this, asking about the scent that floats in, what must be done to prevent the thought that I don't know where it is drifting to.
