Fairy, please step aside, I've taken a liking to your man.

As the two were chatting, a man dressed in black training clothes walked up to the cashier: "Fei'er, are you free after get off work tonight? I'd like to invite you for some late-night snacks."

"I'm busy, I have to practice my martial arts tonight!"

Hu Feier's charming smile immediately vanished. Shen Bai turned to look at the man, whose features were handsome and whose training clothes were quite expensive, seemingly a magic robe, as Shen Bai saw flowing light on them.

She wore a green gemstone chain around her neck, on her wrist, and on her ankle, seemingly a set of protective magical artifacts.

Seeing this, Shen Bai knew that the man was either rich or noble.

Most Qi Refining stage cultivators are considered quite fortunate to possess one or two defensive magic artifacts. This man, however, visibly possessed a set of defensive magic artifacts and a magic robe. It's impossible to know what other defensive magic artifacts he might have hidden. The entire scene exudes one word: "Extravagant!"

"What about tomorrow? It's almost the end of the year, won't the bubble tea shops be closed for a few days?"

The man in black showed no displeasure after being rejected, as if he were used to it, and continued to inquire attentively.

Hu Feier said impatiently, "Xuan Nie, can you please stop bothering me? The milk tea shop is doing really well during the New Year. I must be crazy to close it down!"

"How about I make up for the lost revenue from the past few days and give everyone a break? Everyone's worked so hard all year; who doesn't want to spend time with their family?"

The man in black named Xuan Nie finally showed a hint of impatience on his face, but he still maintained his elegant demeanor and even suggested booking the entire venue.

Upon hearing this, Qi Hao was immediately delighted. Just as he was about to say something, he saw Hu Feier glare at him fiercely, and he immediately deflated.

"No need to trouble yourself. Those who want to go home for the New Year will naturally be given leave, and those who don't want to go home and want to earn money will naturally receive triple pay!"

"Triple pay?"

Shen Bai's eyes lit up: "Manager, I'll definitely come and work overtime!"

"I'm counting on your prestigious brand to attract customers for me during the Chinese New Year!"

Seeing Shen Bai's cooperation, Hu Feier immediately gave him a charming smile.

[Ding! A love rival has been detected with a jealousy level of 60. When the rival's jealousy level reaches 80, you can extract one of their abilities.]

[Ding! Xuan Nie's jealousy level increased by 5, currently at 65!]

Shen Bai smiled almost imperceptibly. He hadn't expected that such a simple sentence would arouse the other party's jealousy. How impatient was this guy?

"I won't bother you any longer, I'll make an appointment with you later!"

Filled with rage, Xuan Nie turned and walked to the roadside, casually tossed out a luxurious flying boat, stepped onto it, and quickly disappeared into the horizon.

"Master Lanni's latest flying boat is worth at least 80 spirit stones! Who is this kid? He's so rich?"

Shen Bai stared at the man's luxurious flying boat with burning desire. Although he couldn't afford it, he was very familiar with all kinds of flying boats. This flying boat wasn't top-of-the-line, but there wasn't another one like it in the entire Jiangbei City.

"The second young master of Xuanhua Pharmaceutical!"

Hu Feier sneered, "He's the one who ordered people to steal the medicine formula from Bai's Pharmaceutical Company!"

"?"

Shen Bai was surprised to find that the other party had such a powerful background, and immediately understood that since they couldn't handle the prescription, they would try to get rid of the person who invented it.

If Xuan Nie wins Hu Feier's heart and the two families unite in marriage, then the Juyuan Pill will become Xuanhua Pharmaceutical's prize.

Are you trying to achieve your goal through a roundabout approach?

Shen Bai, knowing the other party was a rival, lost his friendly tone: "The shop manager wouldn't be interested in such a common, vulgar woman, would he?"

Hu Feier looked at Shen Bai, making him a little embarrassed, before saying, "Indeed, I really wouldn't be interested in ordinary people!"

Shen Bai chuckled: "I'm going to take a group photo with everyone first. Good luck, Qi Hao! We need to get to work!"

Qi Hao: "..."

I have a few words I'd like to say, but I don't know if I should.

……

The next day, Shen Bai was dragged out of bed early in the morning by Shen Wenwen. The two hurriedly ate breakfast and then boarded a public airship to fly to the floating island of Baiyun Temple.

Overlooking once again the magnificent scenery of Jiangbei City and Bailong River, the two still looked fascinated.

I can't get enough of it, I just can't get enough of it.

After more than half an hour, the public airship began to fly towards the largest floating island in the sky.

"Wow, that's spectacular!"

As they gazed at the enormous floating island that gradually enlarged before them, both of them were mesmerized.

A giant floating island above the city.

A floating island with mountains and water, inhabited by tens of thousands of people.

A floating island that receives no fewer than 10,000 tourists and pilgrims every day.

This was beyond the comprehension of both of them.

The public airships slowly rose around the Baiyun Temple floating island, following the navigation lights, and moved step by step behind the many airships.

With the Lunar New Year approaching, not many people come to burn incense. People usually come to Baiyun Temple to burn incense on New Year's Eve and the first day of the Lunar New Year.

Even so, the public airships queued for a full fifteen minutes before slowly landing on the plaza of the Baiyun Temple floating island.

Although the two had already seen the general appearance of Baiyun Temple from the air, they realized how magnificent it was when they stepped onto the square.

White clouds swirl around, and smoke rises.

The palaces, arranged in a staggered pattern, are majestic, solemn, and blend seamlessly with the towering peaks behind them. The mottled walls bear the marks of countless years, and the dragon-bone-like curves extend from the mountaintop to the foot of the mountain.

It seemed both silent and bustling.

The inner environment of the temple is quiet, but the restless hearts of thousands of pilgrims are noisy.

Shen Wenwen grabbed Shen Bai's hand and walked into the temple.

Baiyun Temple does not charge an entrance fee, and three incense sticks are offered upon entry. The main hall is the Sanqing Hall. As proper Taoist disciples, Shen Bai and Shen Wenwen respectfully bowed three times, offered incense, and made merits upon entering.

After leaving the Sanqing Hall, we entered a side hall, which enshrined the God of Literature. The hall was crowded with parents of students who had come to ask for talismans.

"You wait for me outside!"

Shen Wenwen, acting like a little adult, gave Shen Bai some instructions and then squeezed into the crowd. Shen Bai immediately understood why his sister, who never asked anything of him, insisted on coming to Baiyun Temple.

This is to ask the God of Literature for his blessing.

A moment later, the little girl happily squeezed out of the crowd. Her twin ponytails were a little crooked from being jostled around, but she didn't care at all. Instead, she waved the talisman and lucky bag in her hand and gave Shen Bai a bright smile.

"Shen Bai, you absolutely must get into the Holy Academy this year!"

Golden sunlight fell on the little girl's face, carrying a touch of innocence and expectation, as if she were the most precious treasure in the world.

Shen Bai suddenly felt his eyes getting wet.

The incense at Baiyun Temple is so strong that even from this far away from the main hall, the smoke still stings my eyes. He nodded emphatically to his sister.

"Just wait and see, this time my brother will definitely make a name for himself!"
