Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1090: Chapter 1070: Playing the Black Marketeer

But since the Jimo Family needed a Green Spirit, it was obvious they had a purpose, and Luo Qianqian wouldn’t just let them off so easily.

Jimo Cheng, no matter what, had been really nice to her, so she couldn’t just go all out on him. A little damage to his vitality would be fine.

”Nuannuan, where’s Feng Xi?” Luo Qianqian looked over at Qin Nuan as soon as she got back to the room.

”He’s at my house.” She wouldn’t admit that her stony-faced second brother had taken a liking to Feng Xi... Spoiling him with treats every day, even she, as his sister, was a bit jealous...

”Okay, we’ll go to your house in a bit.” Luo Qianqian nodded, indicating that she understood.

The issue with the Jimo Family had to be resolved, or she wouldn’t be at ease.

It’s easy to dodge a spear in the open, but hard to avoid an arrow in the dark.

Back at home, Old Master Luo raised an eyebrow: ”When did I ever say I was going to break your legs?”

However, he couldn’t deny that when Luo Qianqian said he was the pride of the Luo Family, he felt over the moon inside.

Haha, having a granddaughter who can speak so nicely is wonderful!!!

”Wasn’t I just emphasizing Grandpa’s dignity?” Luo Qianqian said with a straight face, ”Besides, now that I’m in college, I can’t be back by five, I’m not even done with my evening classes by then.”

Do you even feel right saying that?

Qin Nuan and Luo Yanran both rolled their eyes quietly.

Who was it who took such long vacations? Evening classes? You don’t even attend any classes!

”Alright, your grandpa was just teasing you. You haven’t been wronged, have you?” Yue Tingyu quickly handed over a wet wipe, ”Hurry and wipe your hands and face to get rid of the bad luck.”

??? When did Grandma become so lazy? Or trendy? Using wet wipes? She used to use pomelo leaves.

Older sister, what time are we in now? Pomelo leaves? Come on, give it a rest, will you?

This is the North, not the South. The pomelos aren’t even ripe yet, how can there be pomelo leaves?

”Hehe, Grandpa, Grandma, we’re off to Nuannuan’s place, I’m going to do something mischievous.” Luo Qianqian said and winked at Old Master Luo.

Old Master Luo’s eyes were suddenly clear.

He wasn’t unaware of why Jimo Shun had been coming to the Luo Family lately, and now it seemed like his granddaughter had come up with a way to deal with them?

He nodded: ”By the way, bring back some ice cream on your way back, your grandmother’s been fond of that boxed kind with multiple colors, the one full of artificial flavors.”

Yue Tingyu: ”...” She looked at Old Master Luo with grievance, wondering what she ever saw in him. No sense of romance at all...

Who would still have an appetite after hearing that?

He Wenyu paused for a moment, then looked at Yue Tingyu with a gentle smile: ”Grandma, we’ll bring back some ingredients, and we’ll make ice cream without any additives that is guaranteed to taste good and be free of artificial flavors.”

He Wenyu’s words successfully dispelled Yue Tingyu’s grievances.

Yue Tingyu had already experienced her skill; maybe not the best, but certainly among the best.

”Don’t worry, Grandma, when Xiao Yu finishes making it, we won’t give any to Grandpa, he’ll only get the one with the artificial flavors.” Luo Qianqian looked at Yue Tingyu seriously.

Old Master Luo was fuming. He hadn’t said anything wrong!!! He glared at his granddaughter with wide, bulging eyes, but didn’t dare say a word.

After all, he was the one who mentioned ”full of artificial flavors” just now...

But he learned this phrase from Luo Yanran, right?

Isn’t he the one who said that nowadays ice creams have no real fruit juice and are all artificial colors and flavors...

Why aren’t they sharing the good stuff with him!!! He’s not satisfied!!!

Speaking of, Old Master Luo only recently discovered how attractive the variety of snacks available now is and has unknowingly developed a fondness for them.

Mm, the stash of snacks at home that was meant for Luo Qianqian had mostly disappeared unknowingly thanks to him.

Qin Nuan, being an adult with Luo Yanran by her side, naturally learned to drive. However, Luo Yanran took on the role of the driver, claiming that she was a road hazard.

As if! Wasn’t it better to join them rather than stay home and watch Grandpa and Grandma bicker over artificial flavors?

He might even end up getting dragged into it...

Arriving at the Qin Family’s place, as soon as the door opened, Luo Qianqian felt a rush of cold air...

No air conditioning, just a table full of ice cream!!!

”Feng Xi, aren’t you afraid of a stomachache?” Luo Qianqian raised an eyebrow at Feng Xi, who was indulging in the ice cream, trying hard not to laugh.

Qin Nuan shrugged, looking helpless: ”It was my brother who bought it, and he won’t even let me have any.”

Seeing the teasing look in Luo Qianqian’s eyes, Feng Xi hurriedly walked over with an ice cream: ”Try it, this one’s the best, my favorite.”

Luo Qianqian casually took it, looking around: ”Where’s Second Brother Qin?”

”He went off to earn money to buy ice cream.” Feng Xi replied naturally, ”I even offered him money, but he refused.”

Of course, the money she offered wasn’t the currency of this world.

But it was more than enough to buy some ice cream.

Qian Xi sat down and naturally began eating ice cream.

Feng Xi wasn’t stingy and gave one each to Qin Nuan, He Wenyu, and Luo Yanran as well: ”What’s up? You’ve been here for three days, and you’re only now coming to find me?”

Uh...

Luo Qianqian shrugged: ”Not much, just wondering if we can use something else to impersonate a Green Spirit?”

”Impersonate? A Green Spirit? What’s that?... Oh, I know, you’re talking about an Intermediate Spirit Stone?”

Seeing the thing in Luo Qianqian’s hand, Feng Xi immediately caught on: ”This thing’s so small and not worth much, what’s the point of impersonating it?”

Not worth much? Big sister, do you even know that the outside layer of this has already sustained the entire Nine Heavens Pavilion?

Luo Yanran opened her mouth in disbelief, speechless for a long while.

”Just...thinking of stirring things up.” Luo Qianqian remained calm: ”Wanted to see if we could fashion something that looks like this, but isn’t all that great, can we do that?”

”Why bother? Just refine Primary-level snacks with Thousand Day Flower Poison and the spiritual energy will increase immensely, it’ll even carry the Thousand Day Flower Poison which most people don’t recognize.”

??? What’s all that?

Seeing Luo Qianqian’s puzzled expression, Feng Xi suddenly slapped her own forehead: ”I forgot you wouldn’t know, it’s just one of those well-known methods to rapidly increase spiritual energy, the only downside is that a regular Intermediate Spirit Stone is only beneficial when absorbed, whereas one tainted with Thousand Day Flower Poison can corrode the meridians when used.”

So...isn’t there an issue with refining it?

”There’s no problem with normal handling, issues only arise when channeling energy. I’ll make one for you in a bit, hold on...” Feng Xi said, carrying a box of ice cream as she went into a room, leaving the rest of them looking at each other, stuffing their mouths with ice cream to suppress their curiosity.

What on earth was Feng Xi talking about, why couldn’t they understand?

Luo Qianqian looked at the Green Spirit in her hand, feeling like she was in a daze; something so precious in this world was just a common currency in another world?

And yet she had gotten rich off of it...

Nine Heavens Pavilion held an unparalleled status in this field in this world, but could it be just a joke in the eyes of the Cultivation World?
