Chapter 58: Emotional Threads
"But you've also wasted a lot of spiritual stones, several times more than I spent during my mid-stage Qi Refining period. No wonder your talent is poor, but your cultivation speed isn't slow."
"No choice, if we want to build a foundation, we can only use spirit stones. So, Master Yang, considering the difficulties of our journey, increase the purchase price of the talismans by 10%."
"Ah, if you said that when we signed the contract that day..." Chu Yang stopped and looked at Luo Yu with sympathetic eyes.
"Then you'll agree!" Luo Yu's face showed anticipation, "It's still not too late now, as long as the three of us discuss it——"
Chu Yang shook his fan handle and said seriously: "Wrong! I won't agree either!"
"Go away, don't bother me!" Luoyu was like a deflated balloon, too lazy to even glance at Chuyang again.
"I have something important to tell you, do you want to hear it?"
"What's the big deal? I'm too lazy to listen!" Luo Yu said with her hands supporting her cheeks, "I'm starving to death, why hasn't the dish been served yet?"
"This young master wants to tell you." Chu Yang turned Luo Yu's small head around, saw her wide eyes staring at him, and he burst out laughing: "Haha, you must not have thought of it, the Daily News is actually under my management, whether your affairs will be on the headlines or not is still up to me to decide."
Luo Yu blinked her big eyes and said, "I'm done talking, I'll continue waiting for the dishes to be served." As she spoke, Xiao Liu came over with a tray.
"Ah, it's here, and it's still my favorite Moon Flower Rabbit Meat!" Luo Yu picked up a pair of chopsticks and went to grab a piece of thigh meat, but was blocked by another pair of chopsticks.
"What's wrong again, Master Yang?" Luo Yu turned her head helplessly towards Chu Yang.
"Why aren't you surprised? Or indignant at being kept in the dark?"
Luo Yu looked at Chu Yang seriously, "I'm not that foolish, Master Yang! To be able to delete such explosive news, you're either extremely well-connected or the person in charge of Daily New Report. I know your family has a lot of influence, but your cultivation is still low, and you can't control everything, nor can you make everyone at Daily New Report listen to you. So, there's only one possibility left - that you're the person in charge of Daily New Report. After researching, I found out that Daily New Report appeared in Tian Xuan Sect during the year you built your foundation, so it's highly likely that you founded it. And when you said that all topics about me can be deleted from now on, I guessed that you're the founder of Daily New Report." All these were Luo Yu's thoughts after the fact; otherwise, how could the price of the talisman have been so low?!
Luo Yu still had one more thing to say. Only someone as bored and gossipy as Chu Yang would think of founding the Daily News.
Chu Yang's eyes widened in surprise, "You didn't think that I was just bragging about that!"
Luo Yubai gave him a glance: "What do you think?" He picked up a piece of rabbit meat and put it in his mouth, the skin was crispy and the meat was tender, the flavor was extremely good, even better than Zhao Yucheng's craftsmanship, worthy of being the best in the market.
Chu Yang smiled charmingly: "It's rare for you to trust me so much, I'll reward you with a piece of rabbit meat!" He stretched out his chopsticks, only to find that the plate was already half empty, and on the side was Luo Yu with a mouthful of greasy food.
"You're a starving ghost reincarnated! Look at how you eat, what man would be attracted to you!"
"After taking Bao Gu Dan, I've been starving for two days." Luo Yu stopped talking.
Luo Yu looked up at Song Ning, who was smiling as he watched Luo Yu and the other person bickering. That smile was like a gentle breeze on her face, and in an instant, Luo Yu seemed to see a green bamboo standing tall in the clouds.
At this moment, Luo Yu felt something stuck in her throat and couldn't swallow the rabbit meat anymore.
Although she appears careless and sloppy on a daily basis, she actually has a soft and delicate side hidden deep within her heart.
The male god opposite the table, Luo Yu was also one she liked. But she and Li Yanran were different, her mental age had already passed 30, although there was still a girlish fantasy, but no longer the impulsiveness of a girl, for love to disregard everything, in real society that was just a joke.
When it comes to emotions, she is both realistic and timid. Her realistic nature constantly reminds herself that Song Ning belongs to the female lead Luo Xue, regardless of whether the female lead accepts or not, Song Ning has always remained unchanged, so why should she hurt herself for this unattainable emotion? Her timidity makes her completely dare not show any unusual behavior in front of Song Ning, treating him only as a senior fellow and an elder.
Before meeting the two in the strange rock forest, Luo Yu still had a little fantasy in her heart, but when she saw Song Ning's gaze always circling around the female lead, Luo Yu understood that the gears of fate had already begun to turn and move forward in their predetermined direction.
Actually, Luo Yu wasn't a complete believer in fate. She believed that 'the great way is fifty, heaven's evolution is forty-nine, and human affairs occupy one', so fate isn't static, it changes with the development of events.
Fate is just an excuse she uses to justify her own cowardice. She never takes the initiative to express her emotions, fearing rejection and disdain from others.
Her feelings for Song Ning, after all, were just a liking, and the roots of love were still far away. So, take advantage of it while you can, cut off everything! Moreover, her ideal was to cultivate immortality, and all romantic affairs were completely dispelled for her! Luo Yu suddenly shook his head, and that strand of emotional thread was thrown into the wind, oh no, it was the aroma of rabbit meat.
Her mind was clear, and the feeling of blockage in her throat suddenly disappeared. She swallowed the rabbit meat in her mouth and said with a smile: "I'm not even eleven years old yet, how can I think about making men like me? However, Uncle Yang might as well consider how to make female cultivators like him."
Chu Yang discovered that something flashed in Luo Yu's eyes, and for an instant, the aura on his body also changed slightly, seeming to become more cheerful.
He stared at Song Ning opposite him, and suddenly realized that this girl had also moved her heart to Song Ning. Fortunately, she had let go, otherwise there would be another woman who was infatuated with love, which would be too annoying!
Since she's pretending nothing's wrong, I won't expose her, and today I'll give her some face-saving, but behind her back...
"Is there a young and handsome uncle like me? All the nuns are here to ask for me——, Ah, how can your mouth be so fast, I haven't even taken a bite yet." Chu Yang snatched the last piece of rabbit meat and put it in his mouth, chewing loudly.
The dishes were piled high on the table, Chu Yang and Luo Yu were grabbing dish after dish, two minutes later, the plates were empty. Luo Yu leaned back in her chair, rubbing her bloated belly.
"How's that? Are you feeling uncomfortable now? Hmph!" Chu Yang also started to feel a bit uncomfortable, "Little San, quickly bring up a pot of spiritual tea!"
"Here it is - Yang Gongzi, this is the top-grade Lingju tea that you often drink." Xiao Liu cleared the table and poured tea for everyone.
Chu Yang downed a mouthful of spiritual tea and burst out laughing, "This is still the first time I've fought with someone over food, but it's even more delicious."
"Arguing with a little girl over food, and it's become a habit." Song Ning smiled wryly, with a hint of relief in his eyes, "Luckily I put on a poker face, otherwise I wouldn't dare sit at the same table as you."
Chu Yang and Luo Yu exchanged a glance, simultaneously bursting into loud laughter, with a hint of kindred spirits.
