Pampered By All In Different Planes

As it turned out, Su Zhiruan had made the right decision.

If she had brought top-grade Spirit Stones from the storeroom, the Human World would have definitely been thrown into chaos. Although Low-grade Spirit Stones were also expensive, they were not rare items and were a form of circulating currency, so they weren't much to talk about.

"I remember ordering people to throw all these things out." Changqi was still puzzled about where exactly Su Zhiruan had found these items.

Su Zhiruan recalled the scene when she happened to wander around the outskirts of Changqi Palace—

When she saw the piles of Low-grade Spirit Stones stacked like small mountains, and even a significant number of mid-grade and top-grade Spirit Stones, discarded as if worth nothing, she stared with wide-eyed disbelief for a full hour.

It was as shocking as an ordinary person discovering their backyard contained an entire mountain of gold mines, with gold and silver spread all over the hills.

Before she left, she had taken quite a lot, thinking that they could come in handy in the human world.

"There are too many Spirit Stones; they are all piled up on the back mountain." Su Zhiruan looked at the man in front of her, his expression of surprise, and she couldn't help but sigh to herself, this is the world of the wealthy!

Changqi waved his sleeve, and several Space Rings suddenly appeared in front of Su Zhiruan. He pushed them towards her, "All these contain Spirit Stones, take whatever you like."

Su Zhiruan glanced briefly and was amazed to find that these Space Rings all contained various types of Spirit Stones.

There were no Low-grade, Mid-grade, or top-grade stones, they were all full of top-grade Spirit Stones brimming with Spiritual Energy.

"I cannot accept these, Your Excellency," Su Zhiruan pushed the rings back, thinking it over before declining, "They are too precious."

She did want to take them! But someone who had so many Spirit Stones was probably only Changqi, and if she ran away, using even one would be discovered.

"This one is for you," Changqi ignored her refusal and directly took one out and handed it to Su Zhiruan, "Take it."

Su Zhiruan looked at the ring in her hand and finally tucked it into her bosom.

After their conversation, the two beautiful maids who had moved the chairs earlier came in from outside the door.

They bowed gently and weakly, and the leading woman dressed in red smiled warmly, "Dear guests, the Sect Hierarch instructed me to take you two to rest first. Please follow me."

"Where is your Sect Hierarch? He was just here! How come he's gone now?" Su Zhiruan continued to act like a woman spoiled by favor, looking at the two maids and secretly snickering to herself, though she knew where the Sect Hierarch had gone.

Her performance with Changqi moments before was probably something the Demon Sect Hierarch had never seen the likes of, and Su Zhiruan even noticed a flash of collapse across his face just before.

But the two maids did not get angry. They were still very gentle, "The Hierarch is discussing tonight's medicine-picking ceremony with other dignitaries. I'm afraid he won't be able to return in time. Please wait a little longer."

"Then lead the way," Changqi casually instructed the two maids, then took Su Zhiruan's hand afterward.

When their palms touched, Su Zhiruan's vision blurred and she saw the true scene again.

They were in that huge cave, and the two beautiful-looking maids were actually two skeletons—that is, two skulls.

The skulls twisted their jaws as if smiling and carried on walking forward, leading them deeper inside.

Changqi patted the back of her hand to signal Su Zhiruan not to worry.

At the moment he released his grip, Su Zhiruan saw them stop in front of a room's entrance, where they bowed and said, "Please enter, esteemed guests!"

"Understood, you all may leave," Su Zhiruan waved her hand, and the two maids nodded with a smile before leaving their sight together.

"The medicine retrieval ceremony, is it the kind that the shopkeeper mentioned," Su Zhiruan asked Changqi as she pushed open the door, "where people are forced to watch others be sacrificed in a grand ritual?"

"Very likely," Changqi sat on the bed, lost in thought, "If I'm not mistaken, someone will invite us to participate tonight."

"It's our first day here; aren't they afraid we might talk?" Su Zhiruan was curious.

Changqi looked out the window, standing with his hands behind his back, "In their eyes, we are nothing but wealthy wastrels with money to burn. Even the so-called Sect Hierarch couldn't bear to listen and fled in disarray, so naturally, they will call on us tonight to meet our end."

Su Zhiruan nodded and took the initiative to sit beside Changqi, then lay down.

"Aren't you afraid, not having seen what the real bed is like?" Changqi sighed deeply upon seeing her so relaxed.

"A place where Your Lordship feels safe to sit shouldn't be too dirty," Su Zhiruan tilted her head and smiled, continuing to lie down, "Join me?"

After she finished this sentence, Changqi's heart skipped a beat, starting to race out of control.

"What happened to that respectful demeanor from before?" Changqi's voice was a soft cold snort as his heartbeat quickened, "You lie down; I need to get up."

After he spoke, just as he was about to get up, he accidentally touched Su Zhiruan's hand.

In that instant, she also saw the room's true appearance.

Surprisingly, this room was not rundown; it could even be said to be very clean, with no disarray of creatures or corpses.

What she didn't expect at all was that the canopy above the bed was red, a beautiful red that hung down right by her ear, and within reach on the bed, Su Zhiruan touched two red dates and a peanut; she shuddered and promptly stood up.

—Then she realized she was lying on a bed covered with big red "happiness" characters!

"What is this?!" Su Zhiruan took two steps back and, after seeing nothing else was amiss around her, she relaxed.

Changqi was already seated beside the table with the wedding wine, watching her scurry about on the floor. When Su Zhiruan looked at him, his voice became much more leisurely, "It seems to be a wedding room."

"Is this also an illusion?" Su Zhiruan felt the bed and after a moment, she found a longan.

"This is not an illusion; it seems to be a real wedding room," Changqi's tone was light, but his slightly upturned lips revealed he was in quite a good mood.

Su Zhiruan: "..."

"If you want to lie down, go ahead, there's still plenty of time," Changqi reminded her unhurriedly. Upon seeing pastries on the table and verifying they were not poisoned, he passed them to Su Zhiruan, "Have something to eat; the food here is edible."

"Thank you, Your Lordship," Su Zhiruan accepted reality. Seeing her vision return to normal, she sat beside Changqi and blinked as she asked, "Your Lordship, are you quite skilled with formations and barriers?"

"Are you referring to these?" Changqi stretched out a finger to dip some wine from the golden cup, then drew on the table a formation that was not too complex. He moved quickly, infusing spiritual power into it, and just as he finished the final stroke, the formation was complete!
