Chapter 326 Blind Date?
......
Here.
Mu Yunyun went to great lengths to move these treasures into the pile of medicinal herbs.
She wiped her sweat, and only after finishing all that did she finally rest.
She eagerly opened the panel, but when she saw the points on it, she was stunned.
Mythical Beast Points: 6000.
Points: 12400.
Mu Yunyun: "!!!"
Why are there so many?
She knew that the mythical beast points didn't add to her and Shaoyi's cubs' points, but rather to their mythical beast points.
Where did those 42400 points come from?
Ye Yu has advanced to the fifth rank in the past two years.
A level 5 cub only has 800 points!
What about the remaining 40000 points?
Mu Yunyun racked her brains but couldn't come up with a solution.
It's so weird.
Tier 1 cub: 10 points.
Second-tier cub: 50 points.
Tier 3 cub: 100 points.
Tier 4 cub: 500 points.
Tier 5 cub: 800 points.
Tier 6 cub: 1000 points.
She has only given birth to sixth-tier cubs. Could it be that Ye Yu has advanced and laid more than a dozen eggs?
But no matter how you look at it, it's impossible.
[System notification: New achievement successfully unlocked. Claim achievement reward now?]
Mu Yunyun frowned.
Achievement?
She opened the achievements panel.
One of the achievements gleamed with golden light, and she glanced at it, gasping in astonishment.
Eighth-tier cub!
She actually gave birth to four eighth-tier cubs.
So that's how I got those 40,000 points!
She didn't even glance at the other cub achievements; the reward for completing the eighth-tier cub achievement alone made her overjoyed.
One golden lottery ticket!
This would cost 10000 points to redeem in the store!
Mu Yunyun couldn't wait to click to claim it, then opened the golden roulette wheel, ready to try her luck.
The things inside that golden roulette wheel are incredibly rare.
Mu Yunyun wants the Purple Gold Box to obtain rare secret manuals, and the Candle Dragon Bone is also good, as it can withstand a full-force attack from a Great Realm expert.
There are many other great products with numerous other benefits.
Each one is very useful.
[System prompt: Do you wish to consume one 'Golden Lottery Ticket' to start the lottery?]
Without thinking, Mu Yunyun clicked "Yes".
The golden roulette wheel spun rapidly, and Mu Yunyun stared intently at the pointer, watching it brush past the Candle Dragon Bone before finally stopping on the 'Fertility Pill'.
Mu Yunyun: "..."
What a joke!
What good is a fertility pill to her?
This thing is for treating infertility.
Does that mean she can't have babies anymore?
When Mu Yunyun drew the most useless one, she almost choked on her breath; she was so angry she was about to die!
She was reluctant to use the remaining 42400 points. Now that experience points were no longer lost, she didn't need to buy them anymore. Just as Shao Yi said, advancement required a steady and solid approach, not a quick and easy one. She needed to forge ahead rather than take shortcuts.
Being a miser isn't so bad.
Keep it in reserve, just in case.
Just as she was thinking this, Mu Yunyun saw a system notification appear on the panel.
[Main Quest 4: Successfully advance to Tier 7 within three months.]
[Task complete: Cheats enabled.]
[Mission failed: Rank -1, all points deducted.]
Mu Yunyun: "!!!"
This lousy system hasn't given her any tasks in ages.
It appeared just as she was thinking of accumulating some points.
She was originally at the peak of the sixth rank, but after dropping to the fourth rank, she barely made it into the sixth rank by relying on her spiritual bones. Now she is only at the initial stage.
She couldn't even count how many zeros of experience points were needed to go from the early stage of the sixth rank to the seventh rank.
Not to mention she was only given three months!
This is a desperate attempt to prevent her from accumulating points, isn't it?
Mu Yunyun really didn't want to deal with this broken system anymore.
She was a little exasperated, but in order to unlock the secret manual, she decided to give it a shot.
She still has spiritual bones and points, and she still wants to give it a try in these three months.
......
"Chieftain, you're awake?"
Hearing the noise, Bai Sang'er came over.
She looked very happy.
"The clan leader has finally woken up after being in a coma for three days. The cub has been safely born, and Lady Shaoyi has also arrived."
Shaoyi?
Why is he here?
Mu Yunyun looked around.
"Wasn't I in the back mountain?"
Bai Sang'er propped up Mu Yunyun's head with a soft pillow.
I told them everything that had happened in the past few days.
"Lady Rongji said that the cubs haven't hatched yet, and Lord Yinghua's cubs are also very weak, so the clan leader can stay here without worry. As for the rest, the clan leader doesn't need to worry about it; she can handle it."
Mu Yunyun's heart softened.
Yingrong is still worth befriending.
When she traveled thousands of miles to Yuanzhou for her partner, she knew that he was a deeply affectionate person.
In this matter, she stepped forward to vouch for her and took full responsibility, which shows she is a person who dares to act and take responsibility.
However, the spirit bone...
By sheer coincidence, she had a spirit bone there. Could it be the one Yingrong brought back?
No, it's impossible.
Those are the spirit bones from the well.
She even knows where the spirit bones are located in the back mountain, so how could she have taken them?
"Who took those spirit bones? Was it really someone from the sacred mountain?"
Bai Sang'er shook her head: "I don't know. Lady Rongji instructed that the matter of the dragon bone should not be mentioned again, so this matter was put behind us. However, Lady Shenji did make a fuss about it a few times."
"and then?"
“Then…” Bai Sang’er lowered her voice: “All I know is that Lord Yinghua visited the clan leader, and Lady Shenji never caused any more trouble.”
Yinghua?
"What did he do?"
"I don't know. I heard that in the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, the clan leader locked up Lady Shenji and forbade her from causing any trouble."
Bai Sang'er smiled:
"Lord Yinghua is truly capable. This whole affair was an undeserved disaster, so there's no point in blaming anyone else."
Also.
Mu Yunyun lifted the animal skin.
"Let's go check on the cubs."
......
Yingrong heard that Mu Yunyun had woken up.
She suddenly became much more energetic.
She had been anxious and exhausted these past few days trying to calm things down regarding the dragon bone, but finally, she received some good news.
"Go, quickly dig out those jars of wine from my backyard."
"Dress up that kid Yingxu nicely, and remind him to behave properly at the banquet tonight and not be rash."
"Oh, and also inform Taihao that even if she doesn't come, she should still be invited."
The old women nodded with smiles.
"Lord Yingxu is handsome; the concubine will surely take a liking to him."
"That's not necessarily true," Ying Rong said. "Don't you know that Qi Yue, the patriarch of the Jiang Shui Qi clan, is Yunyun's partner? With him around, how could Yunyun possibly be interested in that brat Ying Xu?"
"The Qi clan? They are the merfolk of the South China Sea?"
"Yes."
The old woman was taken aback, and her previously confident demeanor instantly vanished.
She gave an awkward smile and tried to make amends: "Lord Yingxu is lively and boisterous, and has a likable personality."
"Forget it," Yingrong said, not wanting to hear any more. "Let's leave it to fate."
If she didn't like someone, she would humble herself and beg them once.
Yingyu is capricious and arrogant, and is truly unfit for important responsibilities.
For the sake of the clan, for the sake of the bloodline, she had to do it, and she had to do it.
......
South courtyard.
Upon hearing the old nanny's words, Yingxu was so angry that he smashed the pottery cup to pieces.
The old woman was startled.
"Oh dear, little ancestor, why are you so angry? The young clan leader is only doing this for your own good."
"Bullshit!" Yingxu was furious. "For my own good? What do you mean by 'for my own good'? That Mu family is nothing but petty thieves and scoundrels. To form a pact with them, I spit on them!"
"Keep your voice down!" The old nanny quickly covered his mouth: "The young clan leader has long forbade the mention of the spirit bone, sir, please don't say it again."
"I'm going to say it anyway!"
Yingxu is sixteen years old this year.
Teenage temperament.
His biological father was Taihao, and he was born with three parts fox blood and was also somewhat handsome.
But now, he was blinded by anger, his face contorted with rage, and he looked anything but handsome.
“My elder sister cried for many days because of the bond of marriage. Not only did the mother not stand up for her, she also locked her up. My elder sister and I are siblings from the same mother. How can we tolerate this?”
"Please calm down, sir. Once you've formed the bond, you'll understand the young clan leader's good intentions."
Ying Rong kept the matter of Mu Yunyun giving birth to a cub a closely guarded secret.
Only a few of the most loyal family members know.
They even kept it from the clan leader.
The wet nurse was extremely anxious and wanted to speak up several times, but she held back.
She earnestly advised him.
"My lord, you've forgotten that the Mu family's forging skills are superb, as you yourself have praised. Once the contract is given to the Mu family, you can have as many of those Panlong spears as you want."
"I don't care! I only want my sister! I only want my sister to be happy!"
Yingxu pushed her out.
"Tell your mother that she's going to curry favor with those people. I won't interfere, and she shouldn't try to boss me around. She's not worthy!"
"Sir, open the door, sir!"
The old woman patted the door, but found it locked by spiritual energy, and she broke out in a cold sweat.
"I know you have been wronged, but the young clan leader instructed that you should go and see her, just once. After the meeting, the young clan leader might be in a good mood and release Lady Shenji."
There was no movement inside for a long time.
Seeing that she couldn't persuade her, the old woman was about to leave.
Unexpectedly, the door was opened.
"Just a meeting?"
The old woman breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with a smile: "Yes, just one meeting, whether it will work out is still uncertain."
Yingxu's face darkened.
He is young, but he is not ignorant.
At his age, the clan would have already been looking for a partner to form a bond with.
Over the years, countless clans have come to befriend him, subtly suggesting that he should join them.
Those courtesans would give him gifts and presents after just one glance at him.
She doesn't even like him?
How can it be?
It's fine if he goes.
The point is to tell her that she is not good enough for him, and to make her give up on this idea!
......
Although the Western Sea cannot compare to the Eastern Sea, it is still a vast and rich land.
Of the nine continents, three border the Western Sea.
Fengyang is also the central hub of Fenglin, where clans are prosperous and flourishing, and even their banquets are more extravagant than those in Yuanzhou.
Take this wine for example.
The Monkey's Wine, sealed underground, is a century-old craft brew.
Every year, the cost of this wine alone is countless.
There's also ice.
This was the first time Mu Yunyun had ever seen ice placed on a table.
Ice is a rare thing.
She heard that many tribes would dig ice cellars on their territories to store ice for the clans during the summer.
This ice isn't cheap.
Not only were there small slaves every few meters, but they also fanned the ice with banana leaf fans, bringing a refreshing coolness to the table.
Oh, and slaves too.
Yuanzhou slaves were wrapped in animal skins, while only members of the same clan could wear Ge cloth.
The slaves of the Yingzhao clan all wore linen and hemp cloth, while the clan's own members mostly wore brocade woven by the sea tribe. The chief and junior chiefs, on the other hand, mostly wore cloud-patterned brocade woven from feathers of the feather tribe.
Mu Yunyun had seen this cloud-forged jade the first time she met Ying Rong. Just by looking at it, she could tell that it was exquisitely crafted and extremely luxurious.
In Fengyang, however, it seemed quite ordinary. For this banquet, the female members of the clans who attended were mainly from Yunduan.
Just based on this alone, it's not even in the same league as Yuanzhou.
"If you like them, I'll give you a few. They're nothing special, nothing compared to what you're wearing."
Mu Yunyun was a little embarrassed.
These clothes were all made by Qi Yue.
He made some for the cubs, and also made quite a few for her.
In ancient times, mermaids were skilled at weaving silk, and a single bolt of silk could fetch tens of thousands of pearls.
Thinking of this, Mu Yunyun asked, "How much does one bolt of this cloud-forged silk cost?"
"You mean Dongzhu?" Yingrong thought for a moment. She really didn't know about Dongzhu coins. The maidservant beside her said, "Your Highness, a bolt of Yunduan costs a thousand pearls."
hiss--
So expensive!
One bolt contains a thousand pearls!
She's really broadened her horizons.
When she gets back, she needs to get the silkworm farming project settled as soon as possible.
She wants to make money from this lucrative business too!
Seeing that she liked it, Yingrong summoned the little slave: "Go to the warehouse and pick out some good satin to send to Yuanzhou."
Mu Yunyun quickly waved her hand to refuse: "No, no, no, this is too expensive."
"Why are you being polite to me?"
Yingrong gave a reproachful smile.
"It's also my fault. If I hadn't lost the spiritual bone, your cultivation level would probably have been one level higher, and you wouldn't have been able to get out so quickly."
"I've heard about it too. This was an undeserved disaster, and we couldn't escape it."
Yingrong poured her a full glass of wine and steered the conversation back to the main topic.
"By the way, there's one more thing."
"What's the matter."
"Last time, Yingxu went to Yuanzhou to deliver the Eastern Pearl to the Eagle Clan on my behalf and took one of your fine weapons. He happened to be here this time and insisted on thanking you."
"No need to thank me for something so small."
Mu Yunyun didn't think much of it; of course, she wouldn't even think of such a trivial matter.
Ying Rong refused to listen and sent someone to summon Ying Xu.
"Of course we should thank him. He took the things for free, so we should offer him a toast."
Mu Yunyun couldn't refuse and had no choice but to agree.
Yingxu, Shaoyi, Yinghua, and others were in the guest seats.
The males and females sat separately.
To get from the guest seats, you have to pass through the musicians' stage.
The lyrics and music are melodious and graceful.
The dancers danced gracefully.
Yingxu walked over from the stage and immediately spotted Mu Yunyun.
She was simply too eye-catching.
It's hard not to notice them.
With porcelain-like skin and jade-like bones, her beauty is naturally exquisite.
She sat at the table, dressed in gorgeous clothes, her demeanor exuding composure, elegance, and great poise.
It seemed she noticed someone was watching her.
Her eyes glanced over unintentionally.
Yingxu suddenly felt his throat being gripped.
Her eyes were like the morning glow and the dew; with just one glance, one could think of the myriad beautiful landscapes of the Nine Provinces, yet none of those landscapes could compare to her beauty in the slightest.
When Yingxu saw her nod, her eyes were polite and distant, unlike the fawning and attentive eyes of the other concubines in the past.
There was no surprise on his face.
The nod was merely a gesture of politeness; if he hadn't come over, she wouldn't have even bothered to glance at him.
Yingxu somewhat rejected this idea of his own.
Does she not even like him?
"What are you standing there for, Xu'er? Come here quickly."
