“Ugh…”

Meeting their gazes, Cheng Xiao Xiao frowned and said, “I think I know what Old Man Ying is thinking about but I really can’t share that right now. Let me look into it some more first!”

“Xiao Xiao, you really can make it happen?” Even Mo Xuanzun was surprised this time.

“Like I said, I can look into it, but I can’t promise anything!”

“Maiden Cheng, how much time would you need? We will wait for your answer. No, we will wait no matter how long that will take!” Shouted Nun Saochen urgently.

The old dean and Grandmaster Wudao nodded. They have placed all their hopes on her.

Cheng Xiao Xiao was speechless. If entering the dimension is a requirement to breaking through, she wonder if they’d all be willing to do so.

“Okay, that’s up to you. But, remember to pay for room and board of five mystical stones a day!” Cheng Xiao Xiao wasn’t about to let them stay at her place for free.

“No problem!”

“Maiden Cheng, don’t worry. We won’t cheat you out of your fees!”

“Little Miss Xiao Xiao, haven’t you earned enough mystical stones? Why are you still so frugal?”

The three of them reacted differently to her request. Only young master Zhu did not express much. Maiden Cheng had made it abundantly clear last time that she’d be charging room and board the next time he stayed over.

“Maiden Cheng, does genius mathematician have to pay too?” asked Zhu XIangyu abruptly.

Before Cheng Xiao Xiao could say anything, Mo Xuanzun’s eyes sparkled and with a gentle smile he said, “What mnd is Xiao Xiao’s and what’s Xiao Xiao’s is mine. Does Zhu XIangyu had any problems with that?”

“Ugh…”

He glanced over at Zhu XIangyu with eyes deep like a pond of water. Then, he smiled at the girl next to him; his smile was resembled ripples in the pond and he said, “Xiao Xiao, Zhu XIangyu is one of the richest person in the world. I don’t think we are being respectful to their wealth by charging him a mere five mystical stones a day. What say we charge him fifty mystical stones a day when he stays over at our place in the future, what do you think?”

“Okay, sounds good!” said Cheng Xiao Xiao as she smiled and nodded. Then, suddenly, she noticed something in his words and she blurted out immediately, “What do you mean by our place? This is my place!”

“Minor details, minor details. Collecting mystical stones is way more important to us!” fawned Mo Xuanzun immediately.

Young master Zhu XIangyu’s face was black like the bottom of a wok! One of them was bad, the other was worse. The two of them together would wreck havoc in the world!

He decided that he’d avoid going there in the future at all cost. Otherwise they’d suck him dry in no time!

“Hrm, okay, that’s better!”

Cheng Xiao Xiao decided to drop the subject. Looking at Old Man Ying, she said, “Give me the mystical stones that we have collected today. I need them!”

“Yes, Miss!”

He fished out two dimension rings and handed over to Cheng Xiao Xiao respectfully.

After receiving the dimension rings, Cheng Xiao Xiao asked everyone one last time before she takes off, “Do you have any other questions? If not, make yourself comfortable!”

“Maiden Cheng, we need to get the quantity of what we can purchase from you!” Zhu XIangyu had no choice but to ask.

The old dean chimed in, “He is right, Maiden Cheng, our bamboo sticks have ‘2’ and ‘8’. Little Miss Xiao Xiao, you need you to name a quantity!”

“Ugh, okay!” Cheng Xiao Xiao nodded and looked at the man standing next to her, “Old Man Ying, how much do we have left in the storage area?”

“Not that much. We can always get more mystical water. We don’t have a lot of other items left; they won’t be able to get much!” replied Old Man Ying.
