I See the Aura of the Great Emperor in All My Disciples

Chapter 1508: Chapter 1508: Consider It as a Betrothal Gift Chapter 1508: Chapter 1508: Consider It as a Betrothal Gift The situation was as follows.

Previously, under the guidance of Lu Changsheng, Mo Yu had some new ideas regarding mechanical puppets.

For instance, installing these mechanical puppets on the bodies of cultivators in order to greatly enhance their strength.

Armguards, armor, leg bones.

Armguards could increase strength, armor could enhance defensive capabilities, and leg bones could improve speed.

At the same time, various mechanisms could be integrated within them.

When this concept was disclosed, the entire Mo Family was stirred.

Although it was difficult, it was feasible.

Puppets need a central core to control and provide energy for autonomous movement.

But if installed on cultivators, this step could be omitted, as well as the need to inscribe meridian lines.

It was just that no one had ever done this before, and the experimental materials needed by Mo Yu were quite substantial. The Mo Family had most of the materials, but still needed to go out and purchase some basic ones.

Then Jiu Bailu volunteered to go.

Immediately, Hong Ying and the others understood Jiu Bailu’s intentions and forcefully dragged Mu Fusheng, who had cloistered himself in the courtyard studying talismans these days, out with them.

Under Mu Fusheng’s extreme speechlessness, they made him accompany Jiu Bailu.

Ostensibly, they claimed it was to protect Jiu Bailu.

But come on, wasn’t that excuse a bit too far-fetched? Jiu Bailu is now the 21st on the Cangxuan List, and with her strength, who could possibly harm her unless those old monsters came out?

However, under Hong Ying’s pressure, Mu Fusheng had no choice but to submitted.

At this time, Mu Wan’er also naively jumped out and said, “I’ll go along too, I’m running short on materials for concocting medicinal pills.”

Hearing this, Mu Fusheng almost knocked his head against Mu Wan’er’s, anything that avoided being alone with Jiu Bailu was a good thing!

But this thought was quickly suppressed by Hong Ying, who then called over Shi Sheng and said, “Let your Brother Shi Sheng accompany you, don’t disturb your Senior Brother Mu… ah, discussing matters.”

Mu Wan’er was stunned for a moment, then reacted and teased with a laugh, “Oh right, we can’t disturb Senior Brother Mu and sister-in-law’s date.”

Jiu Bailu smiled lightly.

Mu Fusheng had a head full of black lines.

So, that resulted in the scene of Mu Fusheng and Jiu Bailu walking on the street now.

Mu Fusheng looked at the list of materials in his hand and said, “Let’s go, there’s a shop up ahead, let’s see if they have it.”

But as his gaze lifted from the list, he saw Jiu Bailu, surrounded by a light veil that partially concealed her stunning beauty, disappear from his view. Glancing to the left, he saw Jiu Bailu had already reached a small shop selling interspatial rings.

Mu Fusheng’s heart skipped a beat, but still pretended to be oblivious and walked over, helplessly saying, “As the prestigious second princess of the Nine Dragon Divine Dynasty, would you ever lack such a thing?”

Jiu Bailu glanced at Mu Fusheng, naturally aware of what he was thinking, and said with a smile, “What are you panicking about?”

She laughed, her eyes curving into a smile that also revealed a girl’s unique craftiness.

Even with her face partly concealed by the veil, the shopkeeper and the other customers couldn’t help but have their breath catch, their eyes riveted!

Mu Fusheng said urgently, “Me, panic? What am I panicking about, haha, you must be joking, how could I possibly panic?”

Jiu Bailu did not expose Mu Fusheng but continued with a laugh, “Buying an interspatial ring for later, to separately store those materials, I don’t know what you are thinking.”

Mu Fusheng said, “…When did I not notice that you had such a wicked sense of humor?”

Jiu Bailu replied, “Don’t all you men fall for this?”

“…”

Indeed.

Mu Fusheng truly couldn’t refute.

“Do you agree? If you agree, then you pick one,” said Jiu Bailu with a smile, her eyes filled with Mu Fusheng’s reflection.

Mu Fusheng braced himself, randomly picked an interspatial ring that seemed ordinary but of decent capacity and quality, and hastily went to pay for it.

Jiu Bailu took it, put it on, and said, “I’ll keep it on me for now.”

After fiddling with it for a while, she pursed her lips and remarked, “Really lacks taste.”

Mu Fusheng had full head of sweat streaks and reached out his hand, “Then give it to me, I’ll hold onto it.”

Jiu Bailu turned and walked out of the shop, saying, “Besides, the color matches what I’m wearing today.”

Mu Fusheng watched Jiu Bailu’s retreating figure, that white dress flowing ethereally without any embellishment. How could it possibly match with that rusty ring…

After leaving the shop.

Mu Fusheng headed toward a larger shop on the map that specialized in selling materials.

Jiu Bailu took a glance and spoke with a slight frown, “Let’s go to another one, they should have the materials you’re looking for.”

“Hm? This one’s quite close,” Mu Fusheng was puzzled, “The one you’re talking about is a bit farther away.”

But Jiu Bailu seemed to have not heard him at all and walked toward that direction.

Seeing this, Mu Fusheng could only shake his head helplessly and follow her.

Women, ah…

…

Jiu Xuan Shop.

Mu Fusheng raised his eyebrows at the shop’s sign but followed Jiu Bailu inside without a word.

Upon entering.

An old man came up to greet them, about to offer a beaming introduction when he saw Jiu Bailu at Mu Fusheng’s side. His expression changed to one of mild shock, and just as he was about to say something, Jiu Bailu silenced him with a look.

The old man wiped the sweat from his brow and forced a smile, “What… what would the young master like to purchase?”

Mu Fusheng handed over his list, thinking for a moment before saying, “I’ll take six portions of each item on the list.”

The old man glanced at it and said with slight surprise, “The materials listed here are quite valuable, and some will need to be sourced from other shops. Are you sure you want to buy so many?”

Mu Fusheng nodded, “Don’t worry about the Chaos Essence stones, just bring the materials.”

Upon hearing this, the old man also nodded, “In that case, young master, please wait for the time it takes an incense stick to burn…” He then saw Jiu Bailu raising an eyebrow, thinking she was complaining about the long wait, and quickly said, “Half an incense stick of time will do!”

After speaking, he hurriedly went to prepare the materials.

He did not see that Jiu Bailu looked even more displeased.

I meant for you to take more time, not prepare everything faster…

But never mind.

“Why do you need so many materials when only one portion is necessary?” Jiu Bailu looked at Mu Fusheng, puzzled.

Mu Fusheng replied, “What if I fail a few times? Then I would need to do it several more times. How bothersome would that be?”

That was just Mu Fusheng’s nature, always liking to have a backup plan.

Jiu Bailu laughed, “Are you really that afraid of coming out with me?”

Mu Fusheng was taken aback and chose not to respond.

Half an incense stick of time later.

The old man brought over the materials, smiling, “The total is two hundred thousand Flawless Chaos Essence stones, all stored in this ring.”

Jiu Bailu took the interspatial ring and after confirming, nodded her head.

Then, the two of them left.

On the way out.

Mu Fusheng suddenly said, “Why doesn’t your Nine Dragon Divine Dynasty’s shop offer a discount?”

Jiu Bailu wasn’t surprised and laughed, “Running out of money?”

Mu Fusheng was at a loss for words.

With her hands behind her back, Jiu Bailu hopped and skipped ahead, almost knocking Mu Fusheng out with her next sentence.

“Consider it a betrothal gift.”
