Chapter 053
Chapter 53: You’re Sharing with Us?
The two quickly approached, and soon saw a soft, glistening glow emerging from beneath the earth.
Ye He Qi cast two water control arts, swiftly washing away the soil to reveal a whole piece of spirit essence stone.
The spirit essence stone, moved carefully aside, was as large as a square table.
Shi Zi Chu wasn’t the only one stunned; Ye He Qi and Jiang Wan Sheng were also staring, their eyes wide in shock.
All the spirit essence stones currently known were about the size of an ordinary washbasin.
Yet, this stone was so large that it felt oddly cheap, making them question its value.
Shi Zi Chu raised a hand and patted the spirit essence stone, her eyebrows lifting happily as she spoke, “It truly is huge!”
She’d known the female lead’s luck would be generous, but she hadn’t imagined it would be this extravagant!
She had struck it rich, richer than ever imagined!
A joyful glow spread across Shi Zi Chu’s face.
Xue Gu meowed softly, her sweet, joyful voice echoing in Shi Zi Chu’s sea of spiritual sense, “With a stone this large placed in the space, Master won’t need to worry about spirit stones ever again!”
The space had spirit stone mines underground, but never a spirit essence stone.
Now, she’d found such an enormous spirit essence stone—Master was truly incredible!
Shi Zi Chu smiled radiantly.
Indeed, she would never lack resources again!
Jiang Wan Sheng cast a dust-dispelling spell on himself, then leaned in, rubbing his head gently against Shi Zi Chu’s shoulder, “Qing Qing, let me absorb a little of your good fortune.”
With such a massive spirit essence stone, raising two large spirit stone mines would be easy!
Qing Qing’s luck was simply unmatched!
Shi Zi Chu raised her hand, gently pushing away his fluffy head, and asked softly, “How should we divide it?”
Both immediately looked at Shi Zi Chu, surprise clear in their eyes.
Did Shi Zi Chu mean what they thought she did?
“How do we split it?” Shi Zi Chu asked again, pointing at the spirit essence stone, “Are there any special considerations for dividing spirit essence stones?”
It was her first time seeing one; she didn’t know much about these stones.
Seeing Shi Zi Chu wasn’t joking, Ye He Qi’s handsome, clear face revealed shock as he asked, “You’re sharing it with us?”
This didn’t seem like Shi Zi Chu at all!
“What else?” Shi Zi Chu replied naturally, “I take eighty percent, and each of you gets ten percent. Isn’t that what we agreed upon before?”
With a spirit essence stone this large, even after sharing, she’d still have a generous portion.
Moreover, the benefit of sharing would be far greater than keeping it all to herself!
Before they could speak, Shi Zi Chu continued, “However, that smaller spirit essence stone won’t count in the division. Do you two agree?”
How could they disagree?
Without exaggeration, a spirit essence stone was even rarer than a ninth-rank soul transformation pill. They hadn’t held any hope from the start.
Now, Shi Zi Chu was giving them each ten percent—this was a windfall from heaven.
After splitting the spirit essence stone, Shi Zi Chu placed the remaining large piece into her spatial storage ring.
Once finished, the trio continued surveying the spirit stone mine.
As for the female villain system, it had gone silent ever since Shi Zi Chu unearthed that huge spirit essence stone; perhaps it had crashed from anger.
When the three emerged from the mine, it was nearly noon.
“Qing Qing, I must return to Jiang Clan,” Jiang Wan Sheng gazed at Shi Zi Chu reluctantly. “Let’s meet at Eternal Night Forest later.”
Spirit essence stone was too precious—he needed to deliver it quickly to the Jiang Clan.
Besides, the disciples joining the expedition were waiting at the Jiang Clan.
He didn’t want to part with Qing Qing!
Could he perhaps kidnap Qing Qing back home?
The unrealistic thought briefly flashed through Jiang Wan Sheng’s mind.
“We could also not meet,” Shi Zi Chu said warmly.
If Jiang Wan Sheng kept visiting, how could she gain experience?
Looking at the seemingly indifferent Shi Zi Chu, Jiang Wan Sheng’s eyebrows drooped sadly, “Qing Qing dislikes me.”
“You hinder my training; disliking you is entirely reasonable.” Shi Zi Chu gently patted Jiang Wan Sheng’s lowered head, her voice soft but firm, “You got a good deal, so don’t act pitiful.”
She had already shared such a large spirit essence stone with him. If he continued this act, she’d have to beat him up!
Jiang Wan Sheng murmured a reluctant “Oh,” quickly hiding his pouting expression.
Shi Zi Chu then turned to both men, saying, “Discuss mining arrangements among yourselves. Just don’t disturb my training.”
If they couldn’t manage such a simple matter, they might as well give up living.
Ye He Qi nodded slightly, “Once we’ve decided, we’ll inform you.”
Shi Zi Chu agreed, then handed over control of the restrictions to Ye He Qi and Jiang Wan Sheng.
After Jiang Wan Sheng left using a teleportation talisman, Ye He Qi invited Shi Zi Chu to lunch.
After lunch, Ye He Qi specially accompanied Shi Zi Chu to Hundred Treasures Pavilion to buy items needed for her journey.
Watching Ye He Qi meticulously choosing items, Shi Zi Chu simply folded her arms and stood aside, leisurely observing.
This was the power of shared interests!
How delightful!
Ye He Qi finished selecting items and saw Shi Zi Chu standing there smiling serenely, arms folded.
Approaching her, he spoke gently, “Afterward, I’ll accompany you to Cloud General Bank to open a spirit stone card. Later, the stones can be directly transferred to your account.”
Shi Zi Chu gave a small acknowledgment and paid for her purchases.
Upon leaving Hundred Treasures Pavilion, they headed straight to Cloud General Bank.
Cloud General Bank was owned by the Ye Clan. With Ye He Qi handling it personally, the procedures went so smoothly that Shi Zi Chu marveled silently.
When they exited the bank, Ye He Qi reminded her softly, “Eternal Night Forest isn’t safe. Chu Zhi Sheng will most likely be there personally. Stay cautious.”
That large spirit stone mine was still untapped, so Shi Zi Chu needed to stay safe.
Shi Zi Chu nodded, “Keep an eye on Sixth Junior Sister’s situation.”
Ye He Qi took out a communication talisman.
They would likely communicate frequently in the future; using communication talismans would be too wasteful.
They exchanged contact details.
After putting away the talisman, Shi Zi Chu narrowed her peach-blossom eyes at Ye He Qi and smiled sweetly, “Clan Chief Ye, I must trouble you with another matter.”
Seeing Shi Zi Chu handing over a jade slip, Ye He Qi received it after storing his talisman.
“Daoist Shi, you truly use your resources to their fullest.” Ye He Qi teased lightly, but then became serious. “The person you asked me to find earlier has been located.”
That young lady closely resembled Chu Zhi Rou—one might think they were twins.
Shi Zi Chu lightly reproached him, “For someone like Clan Chief Ye, this small task surely doesn’t count as trouble.”
She had provided enough benefits; why not fully utilize him?
Facing Shi Zi Chu’s flattering words, Ye He Qi simply smiled without responding.
The young lady was an essential chess piece; Shi Zi Chu emphasized cautiously, “No need for special care—just ensure she stays alive.”
That young lady’s circumstances were dire. Without extra care, it seemed Shi Zi Chu was clearly aware of her situation.
Observing Shi Zi Chu’s gentle demeanor, Ye He Qi thought of a single phrase:
A gentle face hiding cunning thoughts.
“Understood,” Ye He Qi replied.
After separating at the bank’s entrance, Shi Zi Chu returned to the manor.
The next day.
A quarter-hour before Chen hour, Shi Zi Chu waited by the manor gate.
“Zi Chu!”
From a few meters away, Yao Ruo Ruo waved, her voice sweet and cheerful.
Shi Zi Chu waved back with a bright smile, “Ruo Ruo!”
Yao Ruo Ruo rushed over and stared, enchanted by Shi Zi Chu in her battle-ready attire.
The tailored, smoky-purple clothing highlighted Shi Zi Chu’s tall, graceful figure. Her glossy, black hair was neatly braided into a centipede braid hanging down her back, simple yet elegant.
Her porcelain-like face was clear and flawless, her delicate eyebrows gracefully arched, peach-blossom eyes sparkling brightly. A slender nose added refined elegance, and her soft pink lips curved just perfectly.
Her exquisite features on a graceful, oval face created a tender, stunning beauty.
Yao Ruo Ruo’s gaze was nearly glued to Shi Zi Chu, captivated and unable to look away.
