Why Are All the Fairies Trying To Make Me Fall

Chapter 54

The style of the flowing immortal dress Ao Xinyu was wearing was similar to the one Lin Que bought for Qin Wanyuan, except the overall color was a plain white, with only a few strands of light blue silk adorning the chest area.

Of course, this was most likely a coincidence, so Lin Que didn’t mention it.

“Xinyu, I didn’t bring anything special this time, just some preserved fruits and a few beauty pills I made myself. I hope you don’t mind.”

Lin Que smiled as he handed over the prepared gifts. Ao Xinyu eagerly unwrapped the package, grabbed the preserved fruits, and stuffed her mouth full, looking like a hamster hoarding food, with no trace of a dragon’s demeanor.

“You still remember that I like these.” Ao Xinyu said happily, her words a bit muffled.

“After all, we’ve only been apart for a few years. It’s not like I’d forget such a small thing.” Lin Que smiled.

Back when they worked together, Ao Xinyu always liked to eat sweets, especially preserved fruits, whenever she was stressed or in a good mood. She would buy them by the box.

Although this amount seemed a lot at first glance, considering that her true form was a white dragon several zhang long, it was quite normal.

If she ate in her true form, this amount wouldn’t even be enough to fill the gaps between her teeth.

Noticing Lin Que’s gaze, Ao Xinyu suddenly realized she was eating a bit rudely, so she changed her approach and started chewing in small bites.

“Hehe~”

She shyly scratched the tip of her nose, her cheeks blushing slightly, “Cui’er, prepare some tea.”

“At your command.”

The elder sister, known as Cui’er, nodded and turned to leave. Shortly after, she returned with steaming spiritual tea, clearly having already boiled the water and brewed the tea when Lin Que entered the pavilion, just in time for it to be ready.

“Try it quickly, I guarantee that the spiritual tea from my Liuli Pavilion is the best within a thousand miles.”

Ao Xinyu said enthusiastically.

In this regard, she was never modest, and of course, there was no need to be modest, after all, what she said was the truth.

There were few people in the world who could compare to the wealth of the Dragon Princess.

Lin Que picked up the teacup and took a sip, “Hmm, the tea is fragrant, and its effect of calming the mind and nourishing the spirit is indeed extraordinary. It is truly a rare good tea.”

“If you like it, take a few pounds back with you later, just right… let Wan Yuan and the others have a taste too.”

“Thank you for your kindness, but a few pounds would be too precious.” Lin Que said politely, “Just a few ounces will be enough.”

Lin Que knew Ao Xinyu’s temperament. Even if he wanted to pay for it, it would definitely take a lot of persuasion, so it was better to let her give less.

Besides, a few ounces were not a small amount. This kind of top-grade spiritual tea was often sold by the gram, which showed how precious it was.

‘When I go back, I can also give some to my teacher.’

An Xiaoyao loved tea, and Lin Que would not forget her when it came to such a rare item.

Speaking of which, she mentioned a while ago that she was going to investigate the abnormal changes in the monster forest and the reason why the phoenix egg appeared there. I wonder what the result was.

I can ask her about it when I go back.

“Alright.”

Ao Xinyu nodded and asked the shopkeeper to pack the tea.

After drinking the tea, the two chatted for a while, and then Ao Xinyu got to the point.

“By the way, are you here to buy herbs again this time?”

“Yes, still for healing.”

Lin Que handed the list to Ao Xinyu for her to review. She glanced at it and then got up to take him to the warehouse.

This time, the whole process was very quick, and there was no bargaining. Lin Que directly bought the herbs at cost price, instead of letting Ao Xinyu give them to him.

Looking at Lin Que, who had packed the herbs, Ao Xinyu blinked and asked reluctantly, “Lin Da Que, are you leaving now?”

Logically, after buying the herbs and snacks, Lin Que could indeed go back, but after thinking about it, he shook his head, “There is still some time before evening, why don’t we chat a bit more?”

“Alright, alright! Let’s go back quickly, I just happened to show you the rare treasures I’ve collected recently.”

Ao Xinyu said happily, unconsciously grabbing Lin Que’s hand and running towards Wangyue Pavilion, like a happy child hurriedly pulling a friend to see her treasures.

Faced with the direct hand-holding, Lin Que remembered when Jiang Moqing had grabbed his hand before, and his brows furrowed slightly. But seeing Ao Xinyu’s happy expression, he said nothing and let her pull him back to Wangyue Pavilion.

Closing the pavilion door, Ao Xinyu began to show off the rare treasures she had collected one by one, “This is the Map of Mountains and Rivers, created by a great power during the Dao Transformation period. By injecting divine sense into it, you can clearly see all the details of the mountains and rivers, as if you were in the real landscape. It is a rare masterpiece.”

“This is the Thousand-Change Glazed Tower, its shape can change at will. It is a very special spatial magic treasure that can trap people inside, but I usually use it to store some items.”

“This is….”

Ao Xinyu introduced many rare and exotic items in succession, truly broadening Lin Que’s horizons.

Until finally, Ao Xinyu suddenly took out a long sword from her storage ring, causing Lin Que to furrow his brows.

The long sword was extremely luxurious, with five dragons coiled around the end of the hilt. The blade emitted a cold light, exceptionally sharp. Even someone like Ao Xinyu, who was not a sword cultivator, could faintly feel its sharpness when holding it.

“This is the last item, the Dragon-Slaying Sword, one of the four legendary divine swords!….. A replica.” When she said the last few words, Ao Xinyu’s confidence visibly waned.

Hearing the name of the sword, Lin Que coughed a few times and blinked several times.

“What did you say this is called?”

A dragon holding a Dragon-Slaying Sword… no matter how you think about it, it sounds strange.

“The Dragon-Slaying Sword!… A replica.”

Ao Xinyu repeated once more, “Don’t look down on it just because it’s a replica. It’s forged from genuine meteorite iron, incredibly sharp.”

“The real Dragon-Slaying Sword has long been lost, but I hope it never reappears. There are rumors that once it does, it will truly slay dragons.”

As she spoke, Ao Xinyu couldn’t help but shiver.

It seems she still remembers that she is a dragon.

Lin Que couldn’t help but silently comment in his heart.

After some more tea and idle chatter, Lin Que finally asked Ao Xinyu about the main matter.

“Have you encountered any trouble recently?”

Hearing this, Ao Xinyu first glanced at the two shopkeepers. Seeing them shake their heads, she replied:

“…No, Lin Daqiu, why do you ask?”

“Seeing you occasionally frown, I thought you might have something on your mind. Feel free to tell me. If it’s like before, I can help you kill a few people.”

Lin Que said bluntly, startling the shopkeeper sister standing by.

Ao Xinyu just shook her head.

“The Liuli Pavilion is not what it used to be, and the matter is not that serious. There’s no need for Lin Daqiu to take action.”

If it’s not serious, how could you be frowning for several days in a row?

Lin Que kept this thought to himself.

Since Ao Xinyu was unwilling to say anything, Lin Que didn’t want to forcefully intervene. However, to prevent any unforeseen problems, he planned to privately ask the two shopkeepers about it.

After all, when he asked earlier, Ao Xinyu glanced at the two shopkeepers, indicating that they were aware of the situation.

“That will do.”

Lin Que no longer dwelled on the matter and asked another question: “By the way, who designed your outfit?”
