The following night, after everyone had fallen asleep, Jiang Jinning quietly opened her eyes.

The moment she opened her eyes, Song Qingyan also opened his.

His eyes, sharp as a hawk's, swept over the surroundings. Seeing nothing amiss, he withdrew his gaze, his expression softening as he looked at Jiang Jinning.

He didn't have that kind of amazing opportunity to go to the paradise she described, so he could only suppress his worries and say, "Be careful."

Jiang Jinning nodded, her eyes shining as she made her promise.

"This time I brought extra muscle-regenerating powder and iodine. I secretly carried a bamboo tube with me, and no one noticed it inside."

She stuck out her tongue, and perhaps feeling extremely lucky, her eyes crinkled with joy.

Her eyes were bright, and her smile was innocent and radiant.

Song Qingyan was infected by her joy, and the wound in his heart that he had kept hidden seemed to be slowly healing.

Soon, a flash of white light appeared, and Jiang Jinning collapsed softly. Song Qingyan quickly caught her and intended to place her under the big locust tree, but for some reason, he didn't want to let go.

Having already arrived in the fairyland, Jiang Jinning was completely unaware that she was still trapped in Da Li's body.

She came to the bustling market again, but this time she was much less nervous than before. She saw that although the crowds of people coming and going were still tense, they were much better.

Following the direction she remembered, she arrived at Flea Street, and sure enough, she saw Liang Cheng at the inconspicuous end of the street.

Today, Liang Cheng's stall was filled with all sorts of customers. Some were dressed in a high-waisted ruqun similar to that of noble ladies in Luojing City, while others wore something completely different from that of Dali. Their skirts were split in the middle and back, as if for the convenience of firing simultaneously. She heard someone call it a horse-face skirt.

There was another person wearing a black dress, with white hair and green eyes. Even though Jiang Jinning was mentally prepared, she was still startled and almost screamed that it was a monster.

Despite their different attire, people didn't look at them with malice. At most, they showed incomprehension but respect. Compared to the Great Li Dynasty, the people of the Immortal Realm were indeed more tolerant.

Even though Jiang Jinning wasn't as reserved as she had been the first time, it was still somewhat difficult for her to greet Liang Cheng in front of so many people.

She knew that the two times were different, and she couldn't just keep wasting time.

I don't know how time is calculated. In the past, a day was only one or two hours, but this time, a day has passed here even though a day or two have not passed.

Fearing that further delay would make them late, Jiang Jinning used what she considered her loudest voice to call out, "Miss Liang."

Liang Cheng didn't hear it, but it caught the attention of the young lady in the black dress and green eyes.

Jiang Jinning had just taken the hairpin with the red spider lily in her hand, and the young lady noticed it immediately, her eyes lighting up.

"How beautiful the red spider lilies are!"

She couldn't help but step forward and look down at him.

She recognized the embroidery. This embroidery wasn't made of rayon, but rather the most ordinary silk velvet thread. However, this silk velvet thread had a stronger luster than any she had seen before, and it was brighter than high-gloss thread. Under the light, it looked like a ruby, truly beautiful and dazzling.

Near the stamen, a touch of gold ink was applied just right, making the flower even more mysterious and dazzling.

"Miss, where did you buy this hairpin?"

Jiang Jinning felt that the other person's gaze was no less intense than when she was starving and gnawing on a cornbread.

She really couldn't bear to look into the other person's green eyes; they were creepy.

He could only lower his head and explain softly, "I... I did it myself..."

The other party quickly understood.

"So you're a hairpin seller on consignment?"

She used to be a hairpin maker, but she had never worked with hairpin binding before. She always thought that hairpin binding was rigid and not lively enough. Now it seems that she was narrow-minded.

"Are you consigning your hairpins at this stall? How much is this hairpin? I'll take it." She then turned to Liang Cheng and called out, "Hey, Boss Cheng, that's not right of you. You have such a skilled hairpin maker and you're not recommending her to me?"

Liang Cheng had just finished a task when she heard the commotion and noticed Jiang Jinning, who was being pulled and was clearly frightened.

She quickly stepped forward and rescued the little girl.

"Alright, don't scare my new little cash cow." Liang Cheng casually pushed her away. The two were clearly acquainted. Then she turned to reassure Jiang Jinning, "It's nothing. She's a regular customer of mine. She just took a liking to your flowers..."

Before she could finish speaking, Liang Cheng's gaze was drawn to the spider lily in Jiang Jinning's hand.

"FrogFun, you made this so beautifully?"

Jiang Jinning blushed slightly, but was overjoyed to see that they liked the embroidered flowers she had made.

"This isn't difficult, you can do it too!"

"Come on, I don't have that kind of patience. It looks really good, and it goes perfectly with my outfit..."

The young lady who had been staring at the hairpin couldn't stand it anymore. Seeing that Liang Cheng seemed determined to keep it for herself, she quickly inserted it.

"I saw it first!"

"I said I'd keep it for myself first. You can ask the little princess if you don't believe me."

Ok?

The young woman was taken aback when she heard the title. She noticed that Jiang Jinning was more than half a head shorter than her and spoke in a soft, gentle voice, which was completely different from her own loud voice.

That's really apt.

"I don't care, the customer is king! I'll take this hairpin for fifty—no, eighty!"

Liang Cheng also really liked this hairpin, but she already had a kit of materials for the Red Spider Lily, and at eighty yuan, it cost twice as much as online!

She gave me a look that said, "Just let it go."

"Alright, here you go. You stole my favorite thing, what are you going to use to compensate me?"

"I'll give you my heart in return..."

"Get lost, you're just so annoying!"

Jiang Jinning couldn't join the conversation, but she didn't feel awkward. Instead, she silently watched the two talk, especially Liang Cheng's communication skills. She was very good at making the other party happy while protecting her own interests.

She silently made a mental note of it.

After seeing off the old customer, Liang Cheng smiled and started chatting with Jiang Jinning.

"I didn't expect you to be so good at and so fast at wrapping flowers."

Jiang Jinning knew that the practices on both sides were different, so she just smiled when she heard this.

After thinking for a moment, Liang Cheng continued, "Many of my customers have asked about embroidery. How about you do the work for me? Don't worry, the workmanship fee I offer will definitely be the highest on this street."

Jiang Jinning did not agree immediately, but instead pondered the matter in her mind.

Da Li also works in this type of processing. When she didn't have many materials, she also processed for others. The advantage was that it was stable, and she didn't have to worry about selling them. She would get paid as soon as she finished the work. It was actually suitable for her personality, which wasn't very good at communicating with people.

However, a voice inside her told her not to agree.

"I... I can do this for now, but... but later..."

Jiang Jinning was a little embarrassed.

Liang Cheng is beautiful and kind-hearted, and she is wholeheartedly looking out for her, but she has her own ulterior motives.

Jiang Jinning was at a loss, fidgeting with her fingers, unsure how to explain.

Liang Cheng, on the other hand, didn't seem to care much. Seeing that Jiang Jinning seemed to be planning to set up her own stall, she was very happy and offered to help.

"I know there's another good spot here, but it'll be a few days before it becomes available. If you're interested, I'll ask around for you later."

Jiang Jinning nodded repeatedly in surprise, but then felt a little sorry for Liang Cheng and lowered her head in shame.

"Oh, it's nothing, don't be shy. There aren't many kids your age who do part-time work during the holidays. Kids these days are all spoiled. I admire you!"

Jiang Jinning vaguely knew what Liang Cheng had misunderstood, but looking at her short and stocky figure, it was really hard to believe that she was already eighteen.

Moreover, she doesn't belong here and doesn't want to reveal too much.

"However, you'll have to make me a few more these days, especially those spider lilies. They'll be very popular. I still have a few material kits left. Make those first, but the items in the kits can't compare to buying them individually. You'll have to choose some yourself later. There are places to buy materials around the pharmacy. You can go and take a look. They have thread and some accessories, like glass beads and agate. Those aren't expensive and can be bought in bulk. You can stock up on some..."

Liang Cheng talked a lot, mentioning many things that Dali had, which were worthless trinkets here, which excited her greatly.

Finally, Liang Cheng gave her the money from the hairpins sold that day. After deducting the cost of the material kit, she took a five-yuan cut and gave the remaining seventy yuan to Jiang Jinning.

Jiang Jinning originally wanted to refuse, but Liang Cheng wouldn't accept it no matter what, acting as if she would turn against her if she didn't accept it, so she had no choice but to accept it.

After saying goodbye to Liang Cheng, Jiang Jinning went straight to the pharmacy.
