Chapter 64: Helping Her Take a Bath, Finding a Hidden Gem
"Could it be because the Zhu Zhuqing I'm currently inhabiting is in the same time and space as me, so I have to control two bodies?"
Unfortunately, the system did not provide an answer.
Qi Tian was slowly getting used to the difficulty of operating two accounts when Zhu Zhuqing's clear, cold voice suddenly echoed in his mind.
"Thank you!"
Qi Tian perked up and said, "No need to thank me. Just show me the way, and we'll leave the forest and go home!"
"Could we stay here for the night and go back tomorrow?" Zhu Zhuqing asked.
"Huh? Why?"
Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhuqing hesitated for a moment and said, "I'm so dirty, I want to clean myself up before going back!"
Qi Tian was stunned. He hadn't expected that she wanted to delay going back for this reason.
He looked down and saw that he was indeed a bit dirty.
The clothes were stained with the stench of sewage and the smell of his own blood, and the sleeves were torn in many places by the previous soul beast.
So Zhu Zhuqing is actually just like a cat, she loves cleanliness?
"That's easy, I'll wash it for you!"
Qi Tian remembered seeing a hidden little pool of water while walking through the forest last night, a place suitable for washing up.
Thinking of that place, Qi Tian immediately set off, since it wasn't far at all!
"Huh? No way!" Zhu Zhuqing protested loudly.
She couldn't accept the thought of a demon possessing her body helping her take a bath.
Even if the ghost possessing her was a female ghost, she would find it hard to accept, let alone the fact that she didn't even know Qi Tian's gender.
"Since you're unwilling, then give me directions, and let's go back to the city first!" Qi Tian said.
He's still getting used to having one soul and two bodies, and his CPU isn't powerful enough for him right now. He doesn't want to stay in the Soul Beast Forest.
If he were to be attacked by a soul beast, he would have to stop cultivating his physical body, which would be a greater loss than gain.
When Zhu Zhuqing heard that she would have to return to the city in such a disheveled state and maintain this condition for a whole day, she became somewhat reluctant.
Before long, Qi Tian had found a water source.
Without hesitation, after confirming there was no danger, he jumped in and let the water submerge his body.
Only then did he begin to take off his clothes and wash his body.
It must be said that Zhu Zhuqing is quite young, but her body is already very mature.
She has an excellent figure, with a curvaceous bust and buttocks like a catwoman, and some girls as young as seventeen or eighteen cannot compare to her.
The pool water was crystal clear, and you could see everything: snow-capped grapes and a pair of fair and slender legs.
At the end of the feet are toes, each one as smooth as a jade bead, delicate and nimble.
Qi Tian now has one soul in two bodies. He is looking at his own body here, but he doesn't feel anything.
However, when the image was synchronized to his own body, it made his blood circulation speed up, which was a wonderful experience.
As Qi Tian washed his body, a strange feeling suddenly arose in Zhu Zhuqing's heart.
Even though she was washing her hands, she felt as if a stranger was brushing against her.
It's like scratching an itch; scratching yourself and having someone else scratch you are two different feelings.
Qi Tian's techniques were so skillful that they made Zhu Zhuqing's soul tremble.
"This feeling? Could it be that the demon possessing me is a man?"
Zhu Zhuqing felt somewhat ashamed, but she couldn't stop him and could only silently endure it, waiting for him to leave tomorrow.
After a long while, Qi Tian finally came ashore, took out a set of clothes from his soul tool and changed into them, looking completely refreshed.
Zhu Zhuqing breathed a sigh of relief before she began to guide Qi Tian back to the city.
Star Luo City, outside the city walls is not a wilderness, but a society like another small town.
It has hotels, restaurants, pharmacies, and more, covering all aspects of life, making it more like a city than a typical small town.
Qi Tian was passing by a small general store when he suddenly saw something familiar.
"That's... whale glue?"
"As expected of the capital city, how could I find such a good thing in a general store?" Qi Tian exclaimed.
However, this piece of whale glue had been weathered and turned completely black. If Qi Tian hadn't been familiar with its smell, he probably would have missed it.
It was displayed alongside fish maw and sold as a side dish.
"Boss, how much is this fish maw?" Qi Tian asked, picking up the piece of whale maw.
The shop owner glanced at Qi Tian's attire and immediately understood what was going on. He stretched out a hand and spread his five fingers.
"This number!"
Qi Tian feigned ignorance: "Five gold soul coins? That's way too expensive!"
"Little girl, I meant five hundred gold soul coins!" the general store owner said.
"Five hundred gold soul coins? You want five hundred gold soul coins for a dark, unappetizing thing?" Qi Tian pretended to put down the whale glue.
At the same time, he breathed a sigh of relief because he had confirmed that the boss did not know what the dark object was.
If he knew it was whale glue and could enhance male virility, even if the quality wasn't good, he would probably still sell it for thousands of gold soul coins.
If he knew this was ten-thousand-year-old whale glue, he'd probably ask for three or four thousand gold soul coins.
Although it's several times cheaper than it would be ten thousand years from now, it's still an astronomical price at this time.
"Oh, girl, don't go! This is fish maw from a soul beast, much more nourishing than ordinary fish maw."
"How about this, I'll sell it to you at a loss, three hundred gold soul coins, no, two hundred gold soul coins!" the shopkeeper pleaded.
Qi Tian was already tempted, but he still pretended to say, "Fifty gold soul coins at most!"
The boss's eyes lit up: "Deal!"
Even though this small piece of fish glue came from a soul beast, its quality looked terrible. He had already made a fortune selling it for fifty gold soul coins.
Qi Tian happily paid the money and put away the dark "fish glue".
He and his boss were happy, but Zhu Zhuqing was not.
She hadn't said much since Qi Tian started helping her take a bath, but she finally couldn't help but speak up now.
"Why did you buy this useless thing? It's so expensive!" Zhu Zhuqing said.
"Huh? Is it expensive? You're already using a storage soul tool, what's a little money to spare?"
This storage soul tool is worth tens of thousands of gold soul coins, so why would it be short of a few dozen gold soul coins?
"This is different!" Zhu Zhuqing whispered.
"The soul tool was given to me by my family, and the gold soul coins are the pocket money I saved when I was a child; every penny spent is one less!"
She was betrothed to a prince and was supposed to receive a monthly allowance, but the prince ran off with all the money, so she had to fend for herself.
The thought of Qi Tian spending five months of her Soul Master subsidy on something useless made her heart ache.
She had no idea that Dai Mubai was using the funds to indulge in worldly pleasures and to support impoverished twin girls!
If she knew, she would probably be even more upset.
"This isn't something useless!" Qi Tian comforted him.
Having developed a certain level of trust in Qi Tian, Zhu Zhuqing asked, "What is that?"
"This is whale gel from the brain of a ten-thousand-year-old whale spirit beast!"
"What is the use of 'millennial whale glue'?"
Zhu Zhuqing breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to herself, "Something from a ten-thousand-year-old soul beast must be extraordinary, right?"
"Whale glue has the effect of aphrodisiac and strengthening the body. Just this small piece of whale glue can sell for several thousand gold soul coins."
"You come from the Zhu family of Star Luo, you don't even know this?" Qi Tian explained.
Hearing about its function, Zhu Zhuqing felt a little ashamed. Dai Mubai had already run away, and no one had taught her this knowledge.
However, after learning that it could be sold for several thousand gold soul coins, Zhu Zhuqing felt that Qi Tian had made the right purchase.
"So when are we going to sell it?"
Qi Tian said somewhat helplessly, "What are you selling? This stuff is for you to eat!"
"It not only has aphrodisiac effects, but also strengthens the body and can improve your physique!"
"The stronger your physique, the more spirit ring energy you can withstand in the future, and the more high-age spirit rings you will be able to absorb!"
Zhu Zhuqing fell silent; she had never known this knowledge before.
