Chapter 389: Chapter 217: Ji Lingruo Takes Senior Sister Shopping for Attack Speed Gear (5k)
The Third Elder, as the master of a peak, naturally couldn’t accompany You Su and others all day.
After confirming that You Su had no hidden dangers, she returned to the Profound Sky Sect.
It wasn’t that she was unwilling to take You Su and others back directly, but she was worried that You Su’s unhealed severe injury would be discovered by his obsessive master.
So before leaving, the Third Elder specifically reminded the young girl to play outside for a few more days, wait until your bodies are completely fine before returning to the Sect, so Lotus Sword Venerable won’t notice anything.
Seeing Ji Lingruo look pitiful and penniless, the Third Elder rewarded her with a large sum of Spirit Stones as travel expenses for them to return to the Sect.
Thus, at Ji Lingruo’s suggestion, they abandoned flying and decided to take a carriage back to Return God Mountain. This move not only allowed more time for You Su to heal but also enabled them to explore the beautiful sceneries of the Zhongyuan Continent.
Fortunately, Zi Yiyi’s Flying Magical Artifact—the White Horse Carriage—not only could fly in the sky but also travel on the ground.
And unlike the mundane horse carriages, this Immortal Family Artifact, blessed with spirit formations, provided a smooth ride even on bumpy paths, making it feel as if they were traveling on flat ground. Sitting in the carriage, one could barely feel any shaking, making it extremely suitable for You Su, who had yet to fully recover.
However, the only issue was the limited space within the carriage.
Actually, this was the standard horse carriage size, but You Su and the others had a unique situation.
Three women, one man, the number itself was rather large.
Due to his waist injuries, You Su couldn’t sit and had to lie down, occupying one side.
Resulting in the remaining three women having to squeeze together, which was quite inelegant.
They couldn’t possibly make Zi Yiyi sit outside as the coachman or have the senior sister fly alongside them, could they?
Ji Lingruo volunteered, selflessly offering to sit on one side with You Su, replacing You Su’s pillow with her soft lap to resolve the cramped space issue.
Wangshu Fairy heard this and couldn’t let the junior sister with low cultivation bear such a burden. As the senior sister, she must lead by example.
Ji Lingruo had no choice but to give up, treating it as a joke.
Regardless, there was still Zi Yiyi, the outsider, with them.
Thus, she had to keep walking and stopping, not missing any town they passed by and exploring the local customs and traditions to ease the discomfort of three women squeezed together.
Arriving at the famous Brocade City, Ji Lingruo excitedly pulled Wangshu Fairy to rush into the city.
"Yiyi, aren’t you going with them to shop?" You Su smiled warmly, "This White Horse carriage is no ordinary thing; parked at the City Lord’s residence, ordinary people won’t dare approach it, you can rest assured, I’m fine."
"I don’t lack anything, so I won’t stroll around. I’ll just meditate and cultivate quietly in the carriage." Zi Yiyi replied serenely.
"Which woman in this world dislikes having more clothes?" You Su knew she was still feeling guilty and comforted her, "Brocade City is the largest clothing trade center in the entire Zhongyuan Continent. The silk produced here each year could stretch from the extreme west to the extreme east of the Central Continent. Not only that, Brocade City leads clothing trends across the Five Continents, with various valuable cloud brocades being as common as linen here. You can still catch up with my junior sister now."
Zi Yiyi gently pressed her thin lips upon hearing these words, tucking the scattered silver hair back behind her head, yet she still shook her head.
If she went too, the two would certainly be cautious and not have a good time shopping.
...
"Junior sister, should we go back to accompany the junior brother instead?"
The Jade Rabbit Mask on Wangshu Fairy’s face had been repaired, leaving only faint cracks visible. Her heart was still with You Su, but she couldn’t resist Ji Lingruo’s enthusiastic invitation.
Ji Lingruo affectionately linked arms with Wangshu, smiling:
"Our senior brother’s clothes are worn out; we’re buying not only for ourselves but for senior brother too. Wearing such plain clothes every day, who would believe he’s a disciple of Lotus Peak?"
Wangshu Fairy stroked the snow fox fur around her neck, nodding in agreement internally, perhaps thinking her junior brother should look better dressed.
Soon, the two eye-catching girls arrived at the largest clothing shop in Brocade City—Qianhua Pavilion.
The gates were carved with exquisite flowers and birds, smooth white stone bricks paved the ground, incense burners were placed in all corners, wisps of white smoke wafting from their lids.
The name Qianhua Pavilion signifies the existence of a thousand types of exceptional elegance within. Garments with symbolic paper crane patterns signify beauty, trend, and quality both in the mortal realm and the celestial world.
Upon entering the clothing shop, enthusiastic shop girls’ eyes lit up, rushing to greet them.
Even amid the beautiful ladies of Qianhua Pavilion, the two girls, with their striking demeanor and appearance, stood out, naturally receiving the vendor’s favor.
"Are the two fairies here to buy clothes?"
Although Ji Lingruo wasn’t fond of interacting with strangers, she wasn’t afraid either, naturally taking on the ’diplomat’s’ role during their travels.
"Indeed, choose a few for me and this sister, a bit expensive is fine."
With the affluent Third Elder as her support, Ji Lingruo spoke with great confidence.
The shop girl adored customers who were both beautiful and generous, quickly smiling ingratiatingly:
"Oh my, with your figures and poise, won’t any clothing look good on you? This is truly a delightful task! Please follow me!"
Saying this, Ji Lingruo accompanied Wangshu Fairy to browse in the world’s premier clothing shop.
