Chapter 1783 Wu Luo
After saying that, the shop owner closed the bookstore.
Without the sunlight, the entire shop became dim.
"I'd like to buy something from the shop owner." Ruan Yu was slightly taken aback, not expecting the bookstore owner to be so wary. It seemed his cultivation level must be above hers.
Even if not, that insight is still quite remarkable.
"We don't sell anything except books," the shop owner said firmly.
Ruan Yu couldn't find a single opportunity to speak.
"If you wish to leave peacefully, then please go." The shopkeeper then opened the back door.
He made a "please" gesture.
Ruan Yu certainly wouldn't leave; the Water Spirit Orb was practically dead. If they couldn't find the source of water to replenish it, there would truly be no way to save it.
"Bartering is fine too, but why don't you tell me what you want, boss?"
The bookstore owner's face darkened with anger when he saw that she still hadn't left.
What exactly is this big guy trying to do?
Why does someone so ugly have to keep running around in front of her? It's so annoying!
The shopkeeper's patience was wearing thin: "I told you, I'm not selling anything but books." Veins bulged on her forehead, and she looked like she was about to lose her temper.
“I know, that’s why I’m not selling. I’m talking about bartering. Whatever you want, I can give you. Just give me one item from your storage artifact.”
Wu Luo was rather curious; what was it that made the big guy in front of her so eager?
Even through the storage artifact, I could still sense it.
"what?"
"I'll only know if you open the storage artifact." Ruan Yu only sensed the fluctuations of the water's origin, but didn't know exactly what it was.
Wu Luo: "Are you making fun of me?!"
"...I'm serious."
Wu Luo was indeed curious about what it was, so she opened her storage artifact: "What is it? Point it out."
Without any hesitation, Ruan Yu probed with her divine sense and precisely located the divine artifact containing the essence of water. "Found it!"
She made a mark right then and there.
Wu Luo closed the storage artifact and took out the treasure that Ruan Yu needed.
"It turns out to be a floral ornament." She bought it casually from a roadside stall, thought it was very pretty, and wore it on her head for a while.
But she got tired of it soon after and casually tossed it into her storage artifact. If someone hadn't specifically asked for it today, Wumei would have thought she had thrown the floral decoration away long ago.
"You're a grown man, you like this? Are you kidding me?"
Wu Mei glanced at the pink floral decorations, then at the large man in front of her.
This is absolutely... unbelievable!
Ruan Yu knew that her appearance was somewhat unusual, but she couldn't care less.
"Change?"
Suddenly, Wu Mei felt that although the big guy was a bit ugly, he was quite interesting: "Oh? Then tell me, what can you offer me in exchange?"
Ruan Yu, being a woman herself, possessed an exceptionally sensitive nose. The moment she entered the room, she knew that the person disguised as a man was actually a woman.
When I spoke to her, her brows were always furrowed, as if she was suppressing something.
Ruan Yu boldly guessed that it was her period, and that it was very painful.
"I can cure your monthly menstrual cramps."
"What nonsense are you spouting!" Wu Luo raised her hand to slap Ruan Yu's face.
But the slap didn't land: "I'm a man!"
Wu Luo angrily withdrew her hand. "Get out! I won't trade with you." Damn it, could this big guy be someone sent by the clan?
Her disguise was so convincing that even a god-level expert couldn't see through it.
If she wasn't a member of the clan, how could they possibly know she was a woman?
Really! She was just curious about the human world and came out to take a look; it's not like she's not going back!
As for sending someone to keep an eye on her?
Wu Luo looked at Ruan Yu with resentment in her eyes, "Go back and tell those old guys that I'm going back when I'm done playing around."
Ruan Yu scratched her head: "Have you misunderstood something?"
"Are you still pretending?" Wu Luo simply dropped the pretense, pressed her fingers against her face, and gently tapped it, instantly transforming her appearance from that of a man into that of a woman.
Even her clothes were completely renewed and turned into a ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress).
"...I really don't know you."
"What? You weren't sent by that old man?" Wu Luo was stunned.
Damn! Then she's been exposed for nothing!
This big guy probably won't want to leave after seeing her beauty!
In fact, Wu Luo was overthinking it.
Ruan Yu looked at her, her eyes remaining unchanged. She showed not the slightest surprise at the fact that she had become a woman, and a great beauty at that.
"You, you, you're not shocked at all?" Wu Luo touched her face. It was still so beautiful and smooth to the touch. She herself was starting to fall in love with it.
Why was the big guy unmoved? Is he indifferent to women?
"I'll trade you this floral ornament for a elixir that can cure menstrual cramps, will you trade?" Ruan Yu had only one goal from beginning to end.
If Wuluo doesn't switch with her, then she doesn't want to waste any more time here.
“…Okay.” Wu Luo simply did not believe that such a miraculous elixir existed in the world.
But for some reason, she really wanted to believe the big guy in front of her just this once.
Ruan Yu immediately began refining it.
"Don't you need an alchemy furnace to refine pills?"
"Ignoring everyone, huh? You're refining so many spiritual herbs at the same time, is your mental power that strong?"
"Big guy, you..."
"Alright." Ruan Yu finished refining the pill in just a few breaths.
She presented one of them to Wuluo: "Eat it."
Wu Luo dared not eat it.
Although Ruan Yu's alchemy speed was extraordinary, and the quality of the pills seemed quite high, it was still too fast! So fast that she couldn't even react!
Is this really a medicinal pill?
Could it be that the big guy deliberately tricked her and took the pills out of her storage ring when she wasn't paying attention?
But... the pills in front of me were emitting a faint warmth, indicating they were indeed freshly made.
Who knows if eating this will poison me!
"Here's a flower, a floral ornament for you." Wu Luo didn't eat it, but instead stuffed the floral ornament into Ruan Yu's hand.
Having achieved her goal, Ruan Yu took the floral ornament and stuffed it into her spatial storage. Sensing the power of the water's origin, the Water Spirit Orb immediately adhered to it, absorbing all the energy contained within the floral ornament.
Next comes the refining process.
Seeing that the Water Spirit Pearl had regained some of its luster, Ruan Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
"Thank you," she said, and then turned to leave.
For some reason, Wu Luo called out to her as if possessed: "Big guy, are you just going to leave like this?"
"Otherwise what?" Ruan Yu didn't even turn her head, and was about to walk out from the back.
Unexpectedly, Wu Luo suddenly closed the door.
"I haven't taken the pills you gave me yet! What if they don't work?"
"Then you eat it." Ruan Yu said speechlessly.
"I won't eat it. I need to have it tested to see if it's poisonous before I can eat it."
"..." Ruan Yu didn't want to waste time here.
She planned to force her way out.
Just as she turned around, she heard Wu Luo say, "Don't go! I... I still have flower ornaments!"
