Truth Exposed, Empresses Beg for Forgiveness-Chapter 55: Primordial Spirit Double Pendant? You Saved My Life—If You Ever Face Danger, I Will Give My Life to Save You!
"Hic~ it smells so good!"
In the scene revealed by the Reincarnation Mirror, Jian Ling’er gobbled down several big bowls of soup.
She patted her clothing and caressed her small belly, which had not a trace of fat, feeling utterly satisfied.
"Wood, sometimes your cooking is a little better than mine."
Young Luo Xuan: It’s not just sometimes, nor just a little better...
Compared to Jian Ling’er, young Luo Xuan only drank one bowl of soup.
Then he quietly went to carve his wooden sword.
In no time at all.
The wooden sword in young Luo Xuan’s hand had already taken shape!
Seeing the wooden sword carved by young Luo Xuan, Jian Ling’er remembered something.
"Let’s go, Wood, let’s buy a quilt!"
Now that everything was finished.
Jian Ling’er pulled young Luo Xuan, preparing to go shopping in Frost City.
Young Luo Xuan brought his wooden sword along.
The two entered the main city of Frost City.
Frost City now completely belongs to the deserted cities of the Sword Spirit Race.
Even if it hasn’t been officially abandoned by them, no one from the Sword Spirit Race has come to oversee Frost City for a long time.
There are very few places in Frost City selling various goods, just a handful of shops.
This, however, saved time wandering around the city.
Jian Ling’er led Luo Xuan straight to a clothing store.
Young Luo Xuan looked around.
"Weren’t we buying quilts?"
This store didn’t seem to sell quilts either.
Jian Ling’er giggled.
"Hee hee, I said we were buying quilts, but I didn’t say only quilts~
Wood, keeping warm is more important, right? Let’s go!"
Jian Ling’er pulled young Luo Xuan into the clothing store.
The clothing styles were very limited and plain. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮
They were all ordinary winter clothes.
Few people were around, and clearly, there weren’t many customers.
Jian Ling’er bought two sets of clothes for Luo Xuan, one to wear, and the other as a spare.
It could be said that she dressed young Luo Xuan up from head to toe.
When young Luo Xuan came out after changing his clothes.
Jian Ling’er couldn’t help but pause for a moment.
Then, she commented.
"Hmm, it’s true what they say about clothes making the man.
Wood, you look much more spirited in this outfit."
The clothes young Luo Xuan wore before were very thin, and after fighting with that White Eyebrow Daoist.
His clothes had noticeable tears and dirt.
He had also been wearing a fur cloak he made from hunted animal skins.
That cloak too was torn and dirty after the battle.
One could say young Luo Xuan had a bit of a wild appearance before.
Now, even wearing just ordinary clothes gave him a completely new look.
At this moment, Jian Ling’er even felt her face slightly flush.
She didn’t dare meet young Luo Xuan’s eyes.
"Really? But it’s much warmer now."
"Hee hee, as long as you’re warm. Come on, let’s go buy a quilt now~"
After putting on the new set of clothes, and packing up the spare and young Luo Xuan’s old clothes.
The two headed to the place selling quilts.
Soon, they also bought the quilts.
Jian Ling’er bought several quilts to keep Luo Xuan warm at night.
Young Luo Xuan simply rolled up the quilts and carried them on his shoulder.
The two headed back to Jian Ling’er’s home together.
As they passed a small trinket stall.
Luo Xuan was suddenly drawn to something, or rather, two things.
"Ling’er, what’s that?"
Young Luo Xuan pointed with his hand.
Jian Ling’er followed his direction and saw a pair of jade pendants.
"Oh, those are things related to cultivators, called Primordial Spirit Double Pendants.
If two cultivators each infuse their essence into them, the pendants will light up.
If one of them is in danger, the pendant will flicker, and in a life-threatening situation, the pendant will visibly dim."
Hearing the function of the Primordial Spirit Double Pendant, young Luo Xuan’s heart stirred.
He walked over to the stall.
"Hey hey hey, Wood, what are you doing?"
"Ling’er, since we’ve bought so much, let’s buy this pair of jade pendants too."
Jian Ling’er’s eyes widened immediately.
"Wood, you want to buy this?
Things related to cultivators are very expensive, and I’m quite poor!
You promised you’d accompany me to buy quilts?"
Young Luo Xuan replied somewhat puzzled.
"Didn’t you say quilts, but not only quilts?"
Jian Ling’er was momentarily speechless.
Was this boomerang coming back to hit her this fast?
Jian Ling’er was at a loss for words, seemed to think of something, and looked at Luo Xuan.
"You really want to buy this?"
"Yes."
Jian Ling’er was quite firm.
"Even if you really want it, I’m not buying it for you!"
...
A moment later, young Luo Xuan and Jian Ling’er continued on their way home.
The difference was that young Luo Xuan now had a pair of Primordial Spirit Double Pendants in his hands, and was looking quite satisfied.
While Jian Ling’er, by his side, looked quite dejected.
"Wood, I feel like you’re draining me dry..."
She indeed wasn’t wealthy.
But seeing that Luo Xuan genuinely wanted the Primordial Spirit Double Pendant, she still bought it for him.
Even though she knew that if she really didn’t buy it and just walked away, Luo Xuan wouldn’t insist.
She ultimately didn’t want him to feel let down.
Jian Ling’er asked.
"Wood, you bought this Primordial Spirit Double Pendant to give to your sister when you meet her one day, right?"
She even hummed softly.
"Hmph, if it weren’t for the fact that it was for family, I wouldn’t buy it for you!"
Jian Ling’er thought that Luo Xuan buying this was indeed to give it to Luo Lixing when they reunited.
Young Luo Xuan upon hearing this.
"When did I say I was giving it to my sister?"
This made Jian Ling’er pause in surprise.
Wood didn’t buy this for his sister?
Could it be, he has someone special in mind?!
Before she could think more, she heard young Luo Xuan say.
"But Ling’er, you did remind me. I’ll buy another pair later and give it to my sister."
Jian Ling’er snapped out of her stupor, hurriedly blocking young Luo Xuan.
"Hey hey hey, no no no! I really have no money left...
Plus, Wood, you forgot there was only just one pair of Primordial Spirit Double Pendants at that stall.
If you want to go buy again, there definitely won’t be any left."
Young Luo Xuan stopped his steps.
"Ling’er, you’re right."
At this time, Jian Ling’er looked at Luo Xuan with a somewhat interrogative demeanor.
"Hey hey hey, Wood, from what you said, you didn’t plan to give one to your sister?
Honestly, who are you planning to give it to?"
Young Luo Xuan felt a bit inexplicable.
"Of course, it’s for Ling’er, who else?"
This time, Jian Ling’er was completely caught off guard.
"For...me?"
She never expected that Luo Xuan bought the Primordial Spirit Double Pendant for her!
"Of course, with this Primordial Spirit Double Pendant, if you’re in danger, I’ll be able to sense it.
You saved my life, and if you’re ever in danger, I’ll risk my life to save you!"
