Chapter 385: Chapter 385: Encounter with Ning Hao_1
Qin Sisi’s expression was a mix of solemnity and determination. When Ye You turned to look at her, his purple eyes flashed with a strange light.
He understood, in his heart, that Qin Sisi was doing this ultimately to help him collect soul power.
In the process, not only did her magic power increase, but her mind also grew, becoming more steady and strong.
In the long run, this was beneficial, as such a temperament more suited survival in the Demon Sacred Realm.
Returning home, Qin Sisi practiced magic for five hours and then began reading her magic notes.
When the night was still, a white shadow flashed before her - it was Lu Yimin returning.
Qin Sisi said flatly, "You’ve come."
Lu Yimin’s magnetic voice replied, "Yes, I said I would keep my promise."
"Very well." Qin Sisi stood up and gave Lu Yimin a slight smile, acknowledging his promise.
Lu Yimin sighed, "Now my wish has been fulfilled. With no attachment or care, I am ready to offer my soul power to the mage."
Qin Sisi nodded, and then asked one final question, "If you could go back and choose between Fan Xiaoe and Zhou Yuan, who would you choose?"
Lu Yimin bitterly smiled, "If I could truly start over, I would rather not provoke anyone. Perhaps they would have been better off without meeting me."
Indeed, his wish was fulfilled, and he was free of attachments.
Qin Sisi signaled to Ye You who then, with a swipe of his claw, brought forth the Spirit Conversion Bottle.
The snow-white Spirit Conversion Bottle slowly rotated in the air, and Lu Yimin gradually responded to the call of this magical artifact. Eventually, he turned into a white mist and slowly entered the Spirit Conversion Bottle.
The love, hate, romance, and bloodshed of their past lives were finally resolved among the three people involved. Each had their own destiny, no longer intertwined.
From then on, amidst the recurring yin and yang and the cycle of fate, they would never meet again.
That night, Qin Sisi and Ye You finally slept a sound and peaceful sleep.
The next morning, they woke up feeling refreshed and vigorous.
After breakfast, Ye You suggested going shopping for New Year’s goods.
"Today is already the 22nd, in a few days the shops will be closed," Ye You urged.
Qin Sisi muttered softly, "You know quite a lot."
Ye You blinked and said, "Your information bombarding is just too aggressive."
The year-end sales are annual events where both online and physical outlets launch advertising wars, hoping to make one last big catch at the end of the year for the holiday season.
Qin Sisi made a simple list of items to buy, focusing mainly on food.
Although it was just her and Ye You, she didn’t want to spend the biggest holiday of the year simply and quietly.
Ye You glanced at the list and remained silent.
Once they left their house, Qin Sisi headed directly to the supermarket to buy everything listed on her shopping list. Varieties of seasoning, chicken, duck, fish, meat, fruits, cake, sunflower seeds, candy. Qin Sisi’s hands were aching from carrying it all.
As soon as she left the supermarket, Qin Sisi quickly found a secluded place and let Ye You put all the items in his Portable Space.
Then, Qin Sisi breathed a sigh of relief, massaged her aching hands and cheerfully said, "Everything is bought, let’s go home!"
Yet, Ye You pointed at a large mall across them and said, "Let’s go shop around in there!"
Qin Sisi looked at it and replied, "That’s a clothing store, and you don’t wear clothes."
Ye You simply said, "You buy."
Qin Sisi blinked and said, "Me? I don’t need to buy anything."
Qin Sisi was considering the trip to the Demon Sacred Realm with Ye You, uncertain if the clothing styles there would be similar to the ones here. If the clothing customs were different, the clothes she bought now would be put away after a few days.
Ye You softly said, "Just buy it. I saw on the phone that people are supposed to wear new clothes for the New Year."
"Well... alright." Unable to resist the good intentions of Ye You, Qin Sisi led him into the large store.
It’s been a while since Qin Sisi had shopped in a mall-- the last time she was here was before she met Ye You, with Lin Shan, and her memories were somewhat fuzzy already.
The first floor sold shoes. Remembering how her feet would get cold when going out at night, she sampled a thick pair of wool boots. Although the style wasn’t appealing, the inside was very thick and seemed warm.
After checking the guide board, Qin Sisi found out that women’s clothes were on the second floor. Holding Ye You, she rode the escalator up to the second floor.
Women’s clothing was far more flashy compared to men’s clothing. At first glance, Qin Sisi felt somewhat dazzled.
At this moment, Ye You pointed to a pinkish-red down jacket with lace and said to Qin Sisi, "That one looks very nice, don’t you think?"
Qin Sisi looked in the direction indicated by Ye You and indeed, it was quite nice, but...
Qin Sisi softly sighed, whispering, "Xiao Hei, in the year of our parents’ death, we weren’t supposed to wear brightly colored clothes."
Ye You visibly stiffened and remorsefully said, "I’m sorry."
This was something he didn’t know about and had indeed not paid attention to.
Qin Sisi gave a small smile and said softly, "It’s okay. There’s no guilt in ignorance."
After walking around the second floor, they ended up buying a simple grey down jacket, a white sweater, and a pair of black trousers.
Qin Sisi felt that this was enough, but Ye You hoped that she would buy more.
Qin Sisi rolled her eyes and said, "If you like me in new clothes that much, you can just give me a few more when we reach the Demon Sacred Realm."
Ye You paused for a moment then agreed, "Sure, I’ll give you clothes there. If you don’t want to buy more, then don’t."
Qin Sisi nodded, then, holding several bags of clothes and cuddling Xiao Hei, she prepared to leave the shop. However, she suddenly heard someone not far behind her calling her name.
Qin Sisi didn’t expect to meet someone she knew here. She turned around in surprise and saw Ning Hao walking towards her.
Qin Sisi was slightly taken aback, then quickly smiled and greeted, "What a coincidence!"
Ning Hao also smiled generously and replied, "Indeed, it’s almost the New Year, I came out to buy some stuff."
Ning Hao also had two bags in his hand, probably clothes he bought for himself.
Just as Qin Sisi was pondering what to say next, Ning Hao spoke again, "It’s good that I met you, could you do me a favor?"
"What favor?" Qin Sisi was somewhat confused. She couldn’t think of what she could do to help Ning Hao.
Ning Hao gently said, "I want to buy my grandmother some clothes, but I don’t know what kind to get. Can you help me choose?"
It was nothing major and it was due to Ning Hao’s filial piety. Qin Sisi didn’t have the heart to refuse and agreed, "Sure, but I’ve never met your grandmother. I don’t know if she will like the clothes I pick out."
