Chapter 118 Fox
"It's nothing, it's nothing, no need. Are you going out?" Lu Jinyan quickly waved her hand, indicating that she was fine. Although she said that, her teary-eyed appearance made her look like she was alright. Seeing that Ling Yuan seemed to be about to leave, she asked him.
"I am a demon slave. Without my sister's permission, how could I dare to go out? I haven't seen my sister all afternoon. The second young lady said that my sister went out, so I wanted to go to the front yard to see if my sister had returned." Ling Yuan lowered his head, looking like he had done something wrong.
Lu Jinyan quickly waved her hand and said, "Our family doesn't have those rules. If you want to go out, then go. But I'm worried about you going out alone. If you want to go out, go find Chuchu and ask her to send someone to accompany you. Also, ask her to give you some money so you can buy anything you like."
Lu Jinyan doesn't have many rules here, but Ling Yuan's identity is indeed a bit awkward. In other people's eyes, he was bought by himself to serve the emperor, so he lives in his own courtyard.
But only she knew that he was her target. However, she couldn't tell anyone about this. Everyone in her family had someone to take care of them, and she was wondering if she should arrange one for him as well. After all, he was a living person and would definitely go out. Moreover, he looked so delicate and frail that she couldn't always be by his side. Someone had to take care of him.
"I understand, thank you, sister!" Lingyuan replied obediently. Then she added, "I haven't seen you all afternoon, sister. Where did you go? Is something you're busy with?"
"I'm not busy at all. I just went to buy you some clothes. You just got home and didn't have any clean clothes to change into, so I went to buy you some. By the way, did you receive your new clothes? How are they? Do you like them?" Lu Jinyan then remembered that she had forgotten to ask Chu Chu if the clothes had been delivered yet.
"Yes, the Second Miss had Sister Liu Qing bring it to me this afternoon!"
"That's good, that's good. Do you like it? If you need anything else, you can tell me or Chuchu. Don't be shy, okay? Now that we're here, we're family, no need to be polite!" After all, you're my target, so naturally I'll treat you better.
Lu Jinyan had no aversion to Ling Yuan. After all, he called her "sister" all the time, had a well-behaved personality, and was so good-looking. The system said that Ling Yuan was a fox, and it turned out that the TV series and novels were not wrong. Fox spirits were indeed all good-looking!
"Okay, I understand, sister!" Lingyuan nodded obediently.
"Oh, by the way, this is for you, consider it a welcome gift to our big family. Don't be offended!" Lu Jinyan remembered that Ling Yuan's favorability rating was still zero. So she took out a pair of mandarin duck stones and handed them over.
Lu Jinyan was a little puzzled. Logically speaking, she had given him so many clothes and treated him so well, so why hadn't their intimacy level increased? Ruohan's level had increased quite a bit on the first day.
"I don't mind at all, how could I mind? I love whatever you give me, sister. Thank you, sister!" Lingyuan quickly reached out and took the things Lu Jinyan handed over.
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully used the Mandarin Duck Stone on Lingyuan!"
"Ding! Lingyuan's favorability +1, current favorability 1!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully raised Lingyuan's favorability to 1. Rewards: 100 points, 100 Mandarin Duck Stones, 100 Demon Crystals, 30 Low-level Cultivation Pills, 1 Crimson Sky Robe, 1 Rainbow Feather Robe, 1 Mid-level Profound Spirit Treasure Robe, 1 Crimson Flame Spirit Pearl, 1 Jade Bracelet, 1 Shadow Riding Bracelet, 1 Wind-Slaying Sword, 1 Moon Goddess's Collar. Please keep up the good work!"
Hearing the system's announcement, Lu Jinyan frowned almost imperceptibly. It was only a little bit; it seemed she still had a lot to work on!
Ling Yuan looked down at the small red stone in his hand, feeling a bit disgusted. The person who could take out 500,000 demon crystals to buy him should not be a poor person. Why would the gift he received be a small stone?
However, he only thought it to himself and did not show it on his face. After all, he was just a demon slave, and he could only accept whatever his master gave him.
But Chunniang had said before that those who could buy them were all rich and powerful, and would enjoy endless wealth and glory in the future. But now, seeing the people in front of her, it seems that what Chunniang said might not be true.
However, he understood one thing: trying to please one's master was never a bad thing.
"I'm glad you like it!" Lu Jinyan smiled.
"Sister has been busy all afternoon, she must be tired. Sister, please go back to your room and rest!"
"Okay, I'll go back and rest for a while. You can ask Liu Xu if you need anything!" Lu Jinyan was indeed tired, and after saying that, she went back to her room.
After returning to her room, Lu Jinyan entered her spatial dimension.
"Tongzi, you said before that Lingyuan has no demonic power. Is it because he can't cultivate, or is there some other reason? I remember Sister Furong said before that the demon slaves on the last level of the demon slave market have their demonic power sealed. Is that the reason?"
Lu Jinyan was a little curious. Was it because the demon slave market had sealed their demonic power and hadn't unsealed it yet?
"No, host, he was born unable to cultivate!"
"Born unable to cultivate? Can we use a repair pill?" Lu Jinyan thought. If a repair pill could be used, she would give him one. He would probably be very happy, right? Maybe his favorability towards her would increase instantly?
"No, host, he was born unable to cultivate, unlike Chu Chu and Yuan Yi. Chu Chu's spiritual root was damaged, so after repairing it, although her cultivation progress was slower than others, she could still cultivate. Yuan Yi's cultivation stagnated because of an injury, and the repair pill restored his injury so he could continue cultivating. But Ling Yuan was born unable to cultivate, which is probably why he ended up in the demon slave market!" After all, survival of the fittest, many families despise members who are born unable to cultivate.
"Alright, then there's nothing we can do but take it one step at a time." Lu Jinyan sighed, thinking to herself that she didn't really want to ask Ling Yuan how he got to the demon slave market. In this place, people are either kidnapped or sold into the market; very few people get in on their own. Ling Yuan's appearance doesn't seem like he got in on his own.
It seems inappropriate to pry into someone's privacy on the very first day of meeting them. Let's wait a while, until we're all more familiar with each other, and then find an opportunity to ask.
Lu Jinyan yawned and fell asleep without realizing it.
