I am a leisurely rich woman in the world of cultivating immortals

Chapter 5 Turmoil
Yue Shu stared at Cong Shuang blankly, not knowing what to say for a moment.

"Sister Congshuang, I can't accept such a precious thing." Yue Shu waved her hand with gratitude in her heart.

"The old lady doesn't like girls who dress too plainly. Clothes make the man. If a girl dresses too shabby, people will think she is stingy."

Congshuang paused and continued:

"These jewels are all magical instruments. Taking them out won't embarrass our old lady, but it will just make people look down on us."

Yue Shu's face turned slightly red. Her entire fortune and life were only worth ten spirit stones. How could she have extra spirit stones to buy those exquisite and high-end jewelry-like magical instruments?

You know, the main function of jewelry-like magical instruments is to make female practitioners more beautiful and to have a maintenance function.

But the world of cultivating immortals is extremely cruel, so no one would want to delve into this.

This also means that jewelry-like magic weapons are often several times more expensive than combat magic weapons of the same level!
But what Congshuang said was not wrong. If a distinguished guest came and saw that the maidservant beside the old lady was still using earthly jewelry to decorate herself, it would indeed be an embarrassment for the old lady.

Yue Shu looked a little embarrassed and said, "Thank you for your teachings, Sister Congshuang. I understand."

Cong Shuang looked at Yue Shu's embarrassed expression and said calmly, "These are enough for now. When you do well in the future, rewards will be inevitable. Even spiritual weapons will be a great reward."

Spiritual weapon!

Seeing Cong Shuang's indifferent look, Yue Shu sighed in her heart. When she was a child, the original owner had listened to her mother telling stories about the mortal world.

This spiritual weapon is enough to cause a bloody storm among the sects in an entire county, but in the Crystal Palace it is like a flower or plant that can be seen everywhere.

Thinking that she might get a spiritual weapon in the future and become a big landlord, Yue Shu nodded quickly, picked up the hairpin inlaid with spiritual jade and inserted it into her hair, then put on the bracelet with a simple formation.

The simple decoration is neither too eye-catching nor shabby, just right.

"She is very generous." Congshuang nodded with satisfaction. If Yueshu was petty and hid all these rewards, it would mean that she was not magnanimous enough. The old lady would probably not be very happy about it, and she would have ignored her good intentions.

"I learned it from Sister Shuang."

Yue Shu also knew that she couldn't give anything valuable to thank Cong Shuang for her advice, so she said to Cong Shuang as if she had made up her mind,

"From now on, I will obey Sister Congshuang's orders and serve the old lady wholeheartedly, and never embarrass Sister Congshuang!"

As she spoke, she took out the small purse from her waist where she had previously stored the spirit stones, put the other bracelets away, and shrunk the ice sword, placing it in the small purse first.

Looking at the small purse that Yue Shu took out, a hint of surprise flashed across Mei Shuang's eyes, and she asked, "Did you embroider this purse yourself?"

Although the material of the purse is ordinary, the stitching, especially the embroidered bamboos, are lively and lifelike, which shows that the craftsman's skills are already quite good.

In fact, having good skills is nothing. The dragon race has a long lifespan. As long as you are willing to concentrate on research, it is natural to become a master in an industry.

Just like the several dragon ladies in Changle Palace, they all went to the mortal world under a pseudonym and left behind legends in the world of embroidery.

However, what is rare about Yue Shu’s purse is its indelible spirituality.

"Yes, my father married my mother because of her good embroidery skills. I have been influenced by her and I also have a talent for spiritual embroidery."

Yueyue had inherited her mother's wonderful embroidery skills, and now that it was her turn, it was natural for her to continue the tradition.

"When my mother was still alive, she taught me spiritual embroidery every day. She said that at least I could make a living with a craft even without her protection."

In order to survive in this world of cultivating immortals, Yue Shu didn't mind showing off her abilities to the senior palace maids around the old lady.

"Your mother?"

Cong Shuang asked carefully. "It died a week before I was sold into the palace."

After hearing this, Congshuang patted Yueshu's shoulder with his right hand and comforted her: "Don't be sad, I will be your support from now on."

At this moment, Yue Shu's eyes were slightly red, and her heart was filled with dense emotions. It was only when she came to this world that she had the most genuine and soft feelings.

Her voice trembled a little: "Okay."

"I like your embroidery style. I'll get the material for the ice and snow feather coat someday, and you can embroider a mysterious deer for me." Seeing that Yueshu's complexion had improved, Congshuang took her out of the side hall.

Yue Shu also returned to the spiritual tea room at this moment. Seeing that the spiritual tea room was empty, she knew that Zijuan was still running around outside.

But no matter how attentive she was, she would never be rewarded by the old lady like she was today.

But everyone has his or her own way of living, and interfering in the fate of others will only lead to karma.

What's more, although Yue Shu would not frame someone, she would not be so saintly as to repay evil with kindness.

Thinking of this, Yue Shu picked up the small purse, spread out the bracelets and ice sword, and carefully touched the ice sword. This was actually her first top-grade magic weapon.

"From now on, you will be called Mo Wen—"

“Don’t ask about past lives, live in the present.”

Yue Shu's voice was so soft that only she could hear it.

At this moment, the ice sword seemed to be responding to her, shining brightly under the reflection of the sunlight on the seabed.

Yue Shu swallowed them into her own space in one gulp, but this small space was really not enough to hold them all.

During this period of time, I have to quickly absorb the Xuanguan Pearls to improve my skills and expand the space inside my body.

Well, we have to arrange renting a house as early as possible.

As it was getting dark, Yue Shu returned to her own bunk bed after changing shifts with the other palace maids.

As soon as Yue Shu entered the room, she heard Ting He approaching her with a cheerful voice and saying, "Congratulations! Come, there are hot meals waiting for you to come back and celebrate together!"

Looking at the table of immortal food, including meat, vegetables and sweet water made from the ice spring under the sea, Yue Shu asked in surprise: "Such a sumptuous meal? Was it a reward from the old lady?"

The other three maids nodded and said, "Congratulations, Yueyue. You have finally gotten what you deserved after all the hardship you've endured."

Yue Shu picked up a cup of tea from the table and said, "Then I won't be polite. I'll have tea instead of wine. Thank you for your blessings!"

The five little palace maids smiled and refused to be polite to anyone, enjoying the meal very much.

Yue Shu has never been a competitive person. She is kind to others and has always helped each other with these little palace maids, and they have a good friendship.

A young palace maid was curious about what Yue Shu had done in front of the old lady today. Yue Shu thought for a moment and said, "The old lady is kind. I didn't do anything to serve her. I just stood behind my sister stupidly. The old lady saw that I had never seen her before, so she asked me a few questions."

Listening to Yue Shu's simple words, Ting He and the other little palace maids were full of yearning,
"How happy we would be if we could stand beside the old lady!"

Several palace maids were talking and laughing happily when they heard the sound of hurried footsteps.

Then he pushed open the door, and a little palace maid in a bright red dress walked in. She had an indifferent expression on her face, and stood gracefully in the light of the night pearl. Her deep, dark eyes were shining with a dark light, yet there was an indescribable gloom in them.

Seeing Yue Shu and the others laughing and talking happily, she gritted her teeth and her pretty face looked a little ferocious. After giving Yue Shu a fierce look, she took something, turned around with an arrogant look, and slammed the door and left.
