Chapter 17 Daydreaming
Chu Chu hasn't spoken much these past two days, spending almost all her time cultivating. Mo Xuan said that she's about to take human form, which is one of the few times Mo Xuan has spoken.
Upon hearing this, Lu Jinyan jumped around happily several times. The Transformation Pill had been buried in the soil for almost a month. Was Chu Chu finally going to transform? She was so excited and happy.
These past two days, Lu Jinyan has kept Chu Chu in her room. Having learned her lesson from running naked in her human form, she prepared two sets of clothes for Chu Chu in advance, all of which were system rewards for her.
She couldn't wear that many clothes by herself, so she picked out two sets for Chu Chu. The clothes provided by the system would automatically change size according to the wearer's body shape, so she wasn't worried about the size not fitting.
After Chu Chu takes human form, she will select several more outfits for her to choose from.
She would take out all her best clothes and let Chuchu take her time to choose. The system had provided plenty of clothes and some protective magic items, so Chuchu could choose a few she liked to carry with her, which would give her a sense of security when she went out.
Lu Jinyan was very excited that Chu Chu was about to transform into human form so quickly. The system had said that the Transformation Pill was best taken orally. She didn't know how effective it would be if it was buried in the ground, so she wasn't sure how long it would take. That's why she chose to rent a house here to live in first.
Thinking that it would be inconvenient to carry a flowerpot around all day, and that she couldn't be put in a storage bag, he could only find a place to stay first and make plans after she took human form.
It was unexpected that she had already absorbed almost everything in just over a month, which was a pleasant surprise.
Mo Xuan wasn't interested in the matter of little demons transforming into human form, but he was interested in the transformation pill in the flowerpot. The transformation pill had a very unique smell, which he could smell as soon as he got close.
In the demon realm, transformation pills are not common and are extremely precious. How did this little flower demon with only level three cultivation obtain them?
It's a bit of a waste that she used such a precious thing on a flower fairy whose spiritual root was damaged. He had noticed this over the past few days; not only was the one about to take human form's spiritual root damaged, but the woman in front of him was in the same condition.
Her spiritual root was even more severe. Logically speaking, it was already difficult to cultivate spiritual intelligence, yet she was still able to take human form.
This made him a little more curious about the woman in front of him. Although the Transformation Pill could be bought, it was very expensive. Judging from the woman's appearance, she didn't seem to be very wealthy. He had been staying in this courtyard for almost all the days, and he hadn't seen her earn any income.
He didn't see her cultivating; she spent her days either researching food, spacing out, or doing things that didn't seem to have much meaning. But he could clearly sense a change in her. Although her cultivation level was still negligible, it had definitely improved a little bit. Besides cooking and spacing out, the woman spent most of her time sitting in the yard fiddling with that pile of wood. At first, he didn't know what she was doing.
However, as time went on, he began to understand the situation. Although she didn't say anything and he didn't ask, he could tell that she seemed to want to carve two memorial tablets.
But why would this little flower fairy carve a spirit tablet? There are two kinds of demons in this world: one is cultivated to take human form, and the other is born from gestation. The two kinds of demons are easy to distinguish because their auras are different.
For example, he was born from his mother's womb, while this little flower fairy cultivated herself into human form; there are some differences between the two. Aside from animals, it seems that demons who cultivate and transform don't have parents or relatives. So what is the purpose of this spirit tablet she carved? And for whom is it carved?
Although he was somewhat curious, he didn't ask any questions. After all, it wasn't his business. Snakes are cold-blooded animals and aren't naturally enthusiastic about emotions. To him, this little flower fairy had at most saved his life. If she ever needed anything in the future, he would help her out, and that would be repaying the favor. Nothing else was his concern.
However, the more he looked at it, the more headache he got. He couldn't understand how there could be such a stupid person in the world. It was just carving a few words on a piece of wood, wasn't it?
Why does she always seem to have accidents? She either ruins the wood she's carving, injures her hand, or carves the wrong characters. It makes him wish he could immediately return to human form so he could carve something for her himself!
Unfortunately, he is not yet able to return to human form and can only selectively ignore her, fearing that if he continues to look at her, he will not be able to resist biting her.
He observed the Transformation Pill for several days but found nothing unusual. He originally wanted to ask about it, but then thought better of it.
It must have been obtained by chance by this little flower fairy. Although the Transformation Pill is precious, he is not lacking in it. Several years ago, his mother gave him one as a birthday gift.
He wasn't particularly interested in prying into other people's secrets, and it seemed that the little flower fairy named Chu Chu didn't know about the Transformation Pill either. Since she wasn't willing to talk about it, why should he bother?
"Mo Xuan, what are you daydreaming about? I've called you several times, but you haven't responded!" Lu Jinyan squatted in front of the table, looking at the black snake coiled on it with a puzzled expression.
After spending the past two weeks together, Lu Jinyan's fear of snakes has lessened considerably; she's not as afraid as before. However, she still doesn't dare to look him in the eye, as those snake eyes are indeed quite frightening.
"What is it?" Mo Xuan raised the snake's head and glanced at the girl squatting in front of him. He had to admit, she was indeed very beautiful. Every time he saw her, he felt an urge to make love to her, but it was only a fleeting thought that he suppressed.
"Tsk, so cold. I wanted to ask you what you want to eat today. It's lunchtime, I'm going to go cook!" Lu Jinyan rubbed her slightly hungry stomach. Before she knew it, it was lunchtime again.
"Anything is fine!" Mo Xuan raised the snake's head and uttered this, then closed his eyes and said nothing more. In his heart, however, he was complaining, "Eating, eating, eating! All she does all day is eat! Even that Chu Chu knows how to cultivate every day, but she doesn't know how to cultivate at all."
Although her spiritual root was damaged, it didn't mean she was completely unable to cultivate. As long as she worked hard enough, she could still retain some magical power. But instead, she didn't do anything productive all day and just spent her time researching useless things.
Mo Xuan didn't really want to bother with such unambitious people; if his current situation didn't prevent it, he probably would have left long ago.
Lu Jinyan rolled her eyes, pouted, and turned to leave. This person, even after more than half a month, is still so indifferent. He really is a cold-blooded animal.
"Oh right, here, this is for you, my blessing for today. I wish you a speedy recovery!" Lu Jinyan took out a pair of mandarin duck stones from her bosom and placed them in front of Mo Xuan, then turned and went to the kitchen.
She had basically made it a habit to give him a pair of love stones every day. Ninety-eight percent of her goodwill towards Mo Xuan came from this. Mo Xuan didn't seem to mind at all, and she was happy to have some peace and quiet.
Lu Jinyan didn't care much about Mo Xuan's indifference. All she cared about was the progress of her conquest. She didn't care about anything else. After all, this person would eventually be the heroine's devoted follower, and they were just casual acquaintances. Whether he was indifferent to her or not was not important.
However, she was very curious about what Mo Xuan would look like after transforming. After all, in the novel, all the women under the heroine's feet were handsome men. She wondered when Mo Xuan would be able to return to his true form. She was also very curious about what such a cold person would be like when facing the heroine.
According to the book, the female lead saved him, and that's how they started having an affair. But now it's me who saved him. I wonder if that will change the plot of the book?
Forget it, forget it. Things I can't control are none of my business. I'll just take care of myself first, try to succeed in conquering this place as soon as possible, and then leave to find the next target.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully used 1 Mandarin Duck Stone on Mo Xuan!"
"Ding! Mo Xuan's favorability +1! Current favorability 21!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, for successfully advancing the strategy progress to 21. Rewards include: 100 Mandarin Duck Stones, 1 Moon Shadow Hairpin, 2 Spirit Rhinoceros Earrings, 2 Exquisite Bracelets, 2 Radiant Blooms, 2 Crimson Sky Robes, 2 Low-Tier Shadow Riding Bracelets, 2 Low-Tier Wind Slashing Swords, 2 Low-Tier Moon God Bells, 10 Low-Tier Spirit Pills, 1000 Demon Crystals, and 1000 points. Please keep up the good work, host!"
"Our family is still the best! My wounded little heart has finally found some comfort!" Lu Jinyan felt that the world suddenly became a much better place as she listened to the system's announcement.
These days she has accumulated tens of thousands of demon crystals and more than 20,000 points. There are also a lot of treasures in her space, such as jewelry, clothes and magic tools. She suddenly felt a little arrogant, after all, these are all good things.
A few days ago, on a whim, she took a piece of jewelry that the system had given her to a pawnshop and exchanged just a hairpin for more than three thousand demon crystals.
She was stunned. She had been thinking that she was short of money and needed to find a way to make money, but she never expected that she would be looking for a baby while carrying a baby.
With so many treasures in her pocket, why would she need to make any money? If she runs out of money, she can just pawn any item and that'll be enough for her to live a carefree life for a while. Who would give up a life of leisure and go through all the trouble of making money?
Don't always look at her with the eyes of ordinary time travelers, because she is not an ordinary person. In her previous life, she was a miserable working person in the modern world. In this life, she is rich, so why should she suffer?
She just wanted to be a good-for-nothing who did nothing but eat and wait to die. Life was already tiring enough, why make it harder on herself? I have money, I can do whatever I want. Other transmigrators want to build their careers and work hard, let them go. Whoever wants to go can go, she doesn't want to go!
Those who don't know how to enjoy their good fortune are fools. Let whoever wants to be a fool be one; she certainly doesn't want to!
