Chapter 160: 159 Talents are also graded at different levels

Yun Ran, who was originally lacking in enthusiasm, immediately stepped aside from the doorway with a smile plastered all over her face when she heard there was Nine Yang Grass.

"What do you mean ’borrow’? We’re practically family, having shared life and death together. What’s mine is yours!"

With that, she invited Taoist Xia inside.

Taoist Xia: ...

He wasn’t actually blind, okay? The smile on Yun Ran’s face was exactly like that of Wolf Grandma.

"Don’t you have another saying you haven’t mentioned?"

Yun Ran with a question mark above her head: "What?"

"Hehe, you said, what’s yours is mine, but there’s another part to that, isn’t there? What’s mine is also yours. You’re eyeing the Nine Yang Grass!"

Taoist Xia was quite certain about this: Although Yun Ran was young, she was extremely cunning!

Yun Ran didn’t like that comment: "How can you say I’m eyeing the Nine Yang Grass? This is called a win-win cooperation."

"No way, the Nine Yang Grass is very important to me. If it’s really necessary, next time I hear any news about the Nine Yang Grass, I’ll tell you. Just say whether you’ll lend the money or not!"

Before Yun Ran could react, Ginsengfruit couldn’t hold back any longer.

[No way, Host, this isn’t about lending money at all, this is downright robbery, you’ve got to show him some color!]

If Taoist Xia was just hoarding treasures, Yun Ran would definitely press and bribe him to hand over a portion.

But if the other party had an important use for it, she lost interest in competing. She still had the generosity of spirit to let others succeed.

"Alright, I’ll lend it to you!"

With that, Yun Ran pulled out the Supreme Black Card that Xie Xuzhi had given her and handed it over to Taoist Xia.

Taoist Xia originally thought he would need to talk soft to get Yun Ran to loosen up. To his surprise, Yun Ran lent it to him just like that.

He suddenly felt that the girl was too lax with her money.

Just anyone could borrow money from her; wasn’t she easy to deceive without any precautions?

"You just lent it to me, just like that?"

"What else?"

Taoist Xia suddenly ran out of things to say. He was the one setting the price, and now when he was lent the money, he started nitpicking.

At this moment, Taoist Xia felt that he was no different from those gossipy women who loved crickets.

"In addition to the Nine Yang Grass, there will be other Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures at this auction. Come with me, you might be able to buy something you need."

There were definitely many people eyeing the Nine Yang Grass, and it would be unfortunate if someone wanted to reap the benefits without working for it, waiting to rob him after he won the bid.

If he invited Yun Ran along, he felt like that was doubling the insurance.

Yun Ran did not realize that in Taoist Xia’s eyes, she had become such a reliable person.

Currently, her attention was on something else; not too long ago Principal Du’s assistant called her to ask when she would return to school.

Every cell in Yun Ran’s body was repelling the idea, but she just hadn’t found a suitable excuse yet.

Now, wasn’t a perfect opportunity presenting itself right at her doorstep?

"Okay, I’ll go with you!"

The two quickly came to an agreement and settled the matter of going to Yinghua Country in no time.

By the time Gu Yuan found out, Yun Ran’s paperwork had already been processed.

Looking at the energetic and blood-filled Yun Ran, Gu Yuan deeply experienced for the first time what it meant for talents to be of varying levels.

If it were someone else trapped in the Ghost World, they wouldn’t just lose half their lives but would likely need to lie in bed for ten days to half a month at home.

He was able to dispel the pure yin energy of the Ghost World forcedly because he had the Merit Yun Ran transferred to him.

Plus, his grandfather had summoned the family’s treasured Magic Artifact to make him look alright.

But Yun Ran? Just had a good meal and slept for two days, and she was as right as rain.

Happy? Of course, but there’s also a definite sense of envy – Yun Ran was born for the Xuan Sect life, couldn’t compare~

"Be careful when you go to Yinghua Country, there’s a family good at Evil Techniques. Make sure to be careful!"

Gu Yuan wasn’t worried about Yun Ran getting hurt; he was concerned she’s young and could be taken advantage of easily.

He then took out a card that looked inconspicuous, handing it to Yun Ran: "Grandpa told me to bring you some Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures before, but now I think giving you money might be more useful."

Yun Ran accepted these tokens of gratitude comfortably and even felt, the more, the better, why be polite, and quickly took it.

"Then I won’t be polite."

Finally, the day of departure arrived.

At the airport, Yun Ran saw Taoist Xia had reverted back to his youthful appearance, sunglasses over his eyes, from head to toe, oozing trendiness.

Taoist Xia walked up to Yun Ran and did a spin: "How’s this, trendy, isn’t it~"

Yun Ran was still in her favorite workwear, taking another glance at Taoist Xia, the stark contrast made Yun Ran look very much like a little follower.

Yun Ran’s belongings were just a backpack, nothing like a delicate girl going on a far journey compared to Taoist Xia.

Especially seeing the several large suitcases behind Taoist Xia, an odd feeling surged in her.

Yun Ran eyed Taoist Xia from top to bottom: "You’re not planning to have me, your creditor, help you with this luggage, are you?"

Taoist Xia originally didn’t have this intention, but seeing Yun Ran’s hands empty, he felt the suggestion was quite good.

He quickly handed her one of the smaller suitcases: "Don’t worry, this suitcase is of superb quality, plus it’s motorized, you can ride it if you get tired."

Yun Ran: ...

Damn! My previous penny-pinching life has delayed me, I didn’t even know the world outside had progressed to this.

A motorized suitcase, you don’t have to lug it around, but it follows you, and you can sit on it if you’re tired.

Yun Ran felt a whine in her heart, and Ginsengfruit quickly comforted: [Host, what’s the big deal, in my world, people can fly and burrow through the ground wearing mech suits...]

"Thanks a lot, now shut it!"

Before crossing into the book, she wasn’t strictly a pauper, but Heavenly Materials and Earthly Treasures are expensive, and she had to save every penny to buy various materials, no spare cash to show off.

Now that she’s crossed into the book, although the original owner lived among the wealthy, she wasn’t favored, with a backstabbing mother, plus a sky-high sense of pride, fully buffed, she was a pauper among the wealthy.

Neither her own experience nor the original owner’s memory had the experience of such casual spending; now she indeed seemed like a country bumpkin.

"You’re my lover, enchanting like a rose..."

The suitcase pushed next to Yun Ran suddenly started playing music, and Taoist Xia’s face turned bright red.

Especially when many people around started looking over, it made him feel even more embarrassed.

Who would have thought, him appearing so young, would have such a unique taste for this kind of song.
