nch 93 – Expansion of The House; A Deal Was Made (6)

n“What’s so laughable about it?” Cheng Xiao Xiao lifted her hand and flicked her little forehead with her fingers. Not so happily, she said, “You knew I have only been doing it for three months! What’s the big deal?”

n“Ow! Why did you flick me?” Little Yuteng rubbed her forehead and asked again, “Young mistress, would you like a snow ginseng? I can give you one!”

n“Nah, I am already progressing fast enough cultivating in here rather than outside. If I use snow ginseng on top of that, it’d be like taking off in a shuttle. That’s not necessarily a good thing!”

n“Up to you. Young mistress hurry up and cultivate. Don’t embarrass me!”

n“Damn you!” Cheng Xiao Xiao picked up little Yuteng and tossed her up into the crystal fruit tree before she sat down crossed legs, prepared to start cultivating.

n“OH, Oh, Oh!!” Little Yuteng did several somersaults in midair to stabilize her small body before she flew back toward Cheng Xiao Xiao shouting, “Young mistress, wait!!”

n“What now?” Cheng Xiao Xiao opened her eyes and asked.

n“Young mistress, you have been too overly occupied by stuff that has been going on around the house lately. When will you have time to look for new items to upgrade the dimension. Look around, we have been at level 25 for a long time. There are simply too much limits. We have many more mouths to feed now. Even though food is not an issue, we still need to inventory to convert to money. Otherwise, we won’t have enough money for the construction of the house!”

nWhen little Yuteng brought it up, Cheng Xiao Xiao realized she had been overlooking this issue for too long.

nSurely, food planted in the dimension and mystical animals all grow faster than the outside world. If all they need was to feed all the mouths, that would be enough. But if they want to accrue large quantify of food and mystical animals for sale, they were a bit short of that. Right now the family needed lots of money. She would need to figure something out.

n“Yuteng. With the exception of looking for new species in the mountains, what else can make the dimension level up?

n“Lots of things! Any rare plants or animals, or any mystical stones will work!”

n“Ugh, you made it sounds so easy. All of these items are hard to come by!”

n“Hehe, young mistress. Just leak the words out so those who wanted to buy our mystical animals can look for you. No need to go look for them yourselves.”

n“I have thought about this before as well, but I don’t think very many people will possess these items. But you are right, if we get the words out, we might get some hits. Then we can collect the ones of use to us into the dimension. We’ve got to upgrade the dimension!”

n“Yeah, the level is way too low! Look, young mistress, our crystal fruit tree has yet to blossom. I think this is because the dimension’s level is too low; otherwise, it should have bloomed already!”

n“Okay, when I meet up with Innkeeper Zhu tomorrow, I will let them know to look for these items for us!”

n“Young mistress, don’t you worry. Even though these are rare items, that doesn’t mean nobody will have them. Once the words got it, no matter how rare the items are, somebody will find it!”

n“Let’s give it a try!”

n“Yes, let’s give it a try!”

nCheng Xiao Xiao got much happier after their chat. After calming down, she started cultivating. Little Yuteng fly back onto the crystal fruit tree. Reaching out her arm she picked a leave from the tree and started munching on it like it was some kind of delicacy.

nShortly after breakfast the next day, Liu Danhuang brought a few visitors to the Cheng’s. A few of them the Cheng’s were already familiar with. The other one was a classy,middle-age man in a brocade robe that the Cheng’s had never met before.

n“Grettings, master Cheng, I am Zhu Bo of the Green Mountain Manor!” Zhu Bo cupped his hands at Cheng Biyuan and greeted him respectfully.

nNote:

n1. Just a quick note about everyone’s last names. I translated the village name into Willow because the last name “Liu” means willow, which was why all the villagers has the same last name of Liu. In the case of Innkeeper Zhu and Zhu Bo, the young lord, their last names in the originally language were not the same. They merely have the same pinying (spelling based on pronunciation). The two were not related. Innkeeper Zhu was merely an employee of Zhu Bo.
