Chapter 252 – Scared away the senior sister

Chapter 252 – Scared away the senior sister

The four of them had a hearty breakfast, though Gu Qiuxue didn't eat much. Lin Jichen and the other two, however, cleaned their plates.

Niu Naitang held her small belly with a satisfied look on her face. She had never eaten such a proper meal in her life, and today was her first time.

When it was time to take Niu Naitang to school, she was so full she could barely walk, and Ren Lan had to carry her.

Today, Lin Jichen didn't take Niu Naitang to school himself. He asked Ren Lan to handle it alone.

It wasn't that his affection had shifted, but Lin Jichen had dark circles under his eyes and didn't want to show his face outside, so he handed the task over to Ren Lan.

Before going to school, the little girl said she would eat less at the school cafeteria at noon to save room for dinner.

She sweetly called Gu Qiuxue "Sister Qiuxue" and had no expectations for Lin Jichen's cooking anymore.

Clearly, Gu Qiuxue had won over both Niu Naitang and Ren Lan with just one breakfast.

After Ren Lan left, Lin Jichen ordered another top-tier gaming pod.

The top-tier gaming pods had long been sold out.

These top-tier gaming pods were ones Lin Jichen had paid for in advance.

He had no place to put them, so they were temporarily stored at the gaming company. Whenever he needed one, he could have it delivered.

With the explosive popularity of "Tale of Immortal," top-tier gaming pods were now priceless, hard to come by even with a lot of money.

Taking advantage of having some spare cash, Lin Jichen bought nearly twenty top-tier gaming pods.

He planned to keep some for investment and others as backups.

The black market price for top-tier gaming pods had already doubled, and Lin Jichen's investment was set to make a hefty profit.

Soon, the delivery personnel brought the gaming pod to his door.

It was the same delivery man as before. Seeing Lin Jichen's eyes, the old man almost burst out laughing.

He remembered that the last time he installed a gaming pod for Lin Jichen, his eyes were also purple.

Unable to contain his curiosity, the old man asked, "Young man, is that a birthmark on your eye? I remember it was like that last time too."

Lin Jichen was so embarrassed he almost wanted to dig a hole and hide.

Luckily, Gu Qiuxue was doing laundry and didn't hear this. Otherwise, she would probably feel sorry for Lin Jichen again, suspecting that he was being abused by Ren Lan...

Once the gaming pod was installed, Lin Jichen eagerly pulled Gu Qiuxue over to teach her how to enter the game and what to do once inside.

Lin Jichen taught every step very carefully, and Gu Qiuxue listened attentively.

She wanted to be able to help Lin Jichen in the game rather than hold him back.

After teaching her the basics, Gu Qiuxue suggested trying the game herself.

Lin Jichen let her go ahead, and after she entered the game, he followed her into "Tale of Immortal."

As soon as he returned to the game, Lin Jichen received a friend request from an ID named Gu Qiuxue.

Lin Jichen immediately accepted.

"Little Chen, this game is so realistic. No wonder so many people love playing it."

Gu Qiuxue sent a message. As a newbie, she was amazed by the game's production quality.

Lin Jichen smiled and said, "This game will only get more popular in the future. So, Sis, switching to 'Tale of Immortal' is the smartest choice."

"But I'm afraid I won't know how to play."

"No worries, I'll teach you. By the way, what class did you choose?"

"Healer, of course. I'm a nurse, so I chose healer. I don't know how to play any other class," Gu Qiuxue replied.

"And what talent did you get?" Lin Jichen asked.

"It's called 'Miraculous Healer.' It gives +10 spiritual grace, +10% to healer skill effects, and I get a random healer skill book every time I level up a major realm," Gu Qiuxue answered word for word.

Lin Jichen couldn't help but exclaim, "Damn!"

This talent was tailor-made for Gu Qiuxue. It would have been a waste if she had chosen any other class.

"Sis, you should keep this talent low-key. Don't let others know, or you'll have guilds trying to recruit you every day," Lin Jichen advised.

"Got it, I won't tell anyone."

"By the way, Sis, you should start by doing healer quests. Once you get the recommendation letter from the Mysterious Medical Sect, wait for me there. I have something to give you."

"No need, I can manage on my own," Gu Qiuxue quickly refused, afraid that Lin Jichen would waste his time teaching her.

"It's important, Sis."

"Alright then..."

After explaining everything to Gu Qiuxue, Lin Jichen temporarily closed the chat. He planned to give her the Inner Temple disciple recommendation letter from Fang Qingzhu once she got the Mysterious Medical Sect's recommendation letter.

This recommendation letter shouldn't be wasted. It would allow Gu Qiuxue to directly become an Inner Temple disciple.

Lin Jichen stayed in Fengqu City, not going anywhere.

Until someone came looking for him.

"Junior brother! I'm here~"

Nangong Yue arrived as promised, bringing a bunch of pets from her grandfather's Spirit Beast Garden.

"Here, this is the first batch of pets from the Spirit Beast Garden, a total of five thousand."

"What? So many?" Lin Jichen was shocked.

He had thought Elder Tianyuan would give him at most one or two thousand.

Nangong Yue giggled and said, "I took them while he wasn't around. Anyway, there are plenty of pets in the Spirit Beast Garden. It's better to give them to you to sell than to the Treasure Pavilion. Isn't my junior brother more reliable than an outsider?"

Nangong Yue's righteous tone made Lin Jichen laugh and cry. Goodness, if Elder Tianyuan found out, he would surely hate him.

But it didn't matter. Compared to having so many pets, being hated by Elder Tianyuan was nothing.

Lin Jichen took the nearly five thousand pets and placed them all in his new shop.

The NPC staff he had hired started to get busy, arranging and taking care of all the pets, while Lin Jichen supervised.

Nangong Yue didn't leave either, curiously following Lin Jichen around. She had never run a shop before, so she looked around like a curious child.

"Junior brother, I didn't expect you to be a boss besides cultivating."

Lin Jichen teased, "Yes, senior sister, if you're willing, the position of the boss's wife is yours."

Nangong Yue blushed unexpectedly, her starry eyes like water, her cheeks burning.

While Lin Jichen was unprepared, she leaned in and gave him a quick peck on the cheek.

Lin Jichen stood there, grinning foolishly.

He almost forgot that Nangong Yue's affection level for him was very high.

With an affection level of 75, Nangong Yue was already deeply devoted to him.

Lin Jichen suddenly thought of a great idea for leveling up.

"Senior sister."

"Yes?"

"How about we dual cultivate to improve our cultivation?" Lin Jichen asked with a mischievous smile.

Whoosh!

Nangong Yue's face turned as red as the evening glow, her beautiful eyes trembling, her eyelashes fluttering, and she was so nervous she didn't know what to do.

"Th-that's not right... I... I'm going back to the sect..."

With that, Nangong Yue ran off, fleeing back to the Sword Sect.

Clearly, Lin Jichen's straightforward words had scared the inexperienced girl away.
