39. Master and Disciple’s Daily Life (Part 1)
Gong Yiling was very happy today.
Despite being dragged into this mess, it wasn’t a big deal.
She looked at the Universe Ring on her finger, grinning from ear to ear.
—She had wanted to buy a spatial ring to store all her belongings and items, but the price was exorbitant, calculated based on the internal storage space.
Specifically, four thousand taels per square meter.
Yes, over a hundred times more expensive than buying a house in this world. Utterly absurd.
Of course, considering it was a portable space, and the crafting process was time-consuming, the price was somewhat understandable.
However, Miss Gong had received one for free from Elder Yan, and it wasn’t small, with a capacity of fifty square meters.
In terms of value, the old man had essentially given her two million taels, and the ring even contained some silver.
In short…
She was rich!
“Let’s go, Master will take you shopping!”
Gong Yiling said, preparing to drag the two girls out for some fun.
Qiu Shui: “No, Master, I need to cultivate diligently.”
Qiu Shui, serious face.
Chun Lian was about to agree, but seeing Qiu Shui’s serious expression, she also became serious.
Chun Lian: “Okay, okay, oka… No, Master, I need to practice my talisman drawing.”
“Cultivate what? It can wait.”
Gong Yiling grabbed their hands. “If you don’t go, you’re disrespecting me. Are you going or not?”
This was a powerful statement, and the two girls could only nod in agreement.
However, after leaving the inn, Gong Yiling hesitated.
What did men usually do when they went out?
That’s right.
Eat some fast food, go to an arcade.
As for actual shopping…
That didn’t exist.
Why would a man go shopping without a girlfriend? To feel lonely?
So, after buying some snacks, Gong Yiling gradually lost her initial enthusiasm.
She also wanted to cultivate.
“No, no, no!”
Miss Gong, munching on some fried tofu, shook her head seriously.
How could she waste such a beautiful day on boring cultivation?
She looked at the distracted Yin Qiushui, her eyes flickering with inspiration.
Hmm… this could work.
Gong Yiling then dragged Yin Qiushui and Chun Lian to a women’s clothing store.
“Master, what are you…?”
“You two only have four outfits between you. It’s not very ladylike.”
Gong Yiling said seriously, “So, Master has decided to take you shopping for some new clothes.”
Shopping for… them?
Before the two girls could react, Gong Yiling pushed them into the store.
She then called out to the staff, “Hey, someone come and help them pick out some clothes. The prettier, the better.”
“Right away… You must be the Immortal Master from the Great One Engineering Sect!”
The attendant’s enthusiasm was overwhelming upon seeing Gong Yiling.
“Ah, yes… I suppose so…”
“I never thought I’d have the honor of choosing clothes for an Immortal Master’s disciples.” The attendant was so excited she almost asked for an autograph.
Her eyes shone as she looked at Qiu Shui and Chun Lian like a wolf eyeing its prey.
In an instant, she dragged the two girls into the back room, leaving Gong Yiling to wander around the shop boredly.
Usually, the person waiting outside would be the boyfriend.
But Miss Gong, looking at the clothes she could wear herself, couldn’t help but recall the time she looked at herself in the mirror wearing that winter outfit.
She was undeniably beautiful.
But what good was beauty? Could it make her stronger?
No.
It might even make her more… receptive.
“Dresses…”
She stood before a white, fur-trimmed dress, similar to the furry winter outfit.
Her initial disdain turned into curiosity, then she reached out and touched it.
So fluffy.
It felt comforting, almost transcendent.
“Notification: Your top/bottom attribute is deviating—”
“Deviating my ass! Are you stupid?”
Gong Yiling stopped abruptly, wanting to punch the system.
“Notification: System server disconnecting. Please wait for response.”
Hmph.
Putting the system in its place made Miss Gong happy, and she continued stroking the fluffy dress.
Ascending…exe
After an unknown amount of time…
Qiu Shui’s voice suddenly called out, “Master, what are you doing?”
“Ah, I’m petting the clothes…” Gong Yiling instinctively replied, then realized her mistake.
Her image! Maintain your image!
“Oh my—ahem!”
She quickly corrected herself, then noticed Yin Qiushui’s new outfit.
A light green top and a white skirt, like a serene landscape of mountains and clouds.
Although a simple combination, it perfectly complemented Qiu Shui’s calm demeanor.
The fluffy vest added a touch of playfulness.
“Did you choose this yourself?” Gong Yiling suppressed the urge to touch it.
“Yes…” Qiu Shui blushed slightly. “Is it… too plain?”
“Clothes are meant to enhance one’s beauty. The best clothes are those that suit you.” Gong Yiling smiled and patted her head. “You look beautiful.”
“…Thank you!”
Miss Gong’s head-pat made Qiu Shui’s eyes crinkle with happiness.
“Hey, if Sister Qiu Shui gets one, Chun Lian wants one too!”
Chun Lian emerged, sporting a bun hairstyle and a cute pink dress, leaning against Qiu Shui and blinking her eyes.
“Qiu Shui is about to reach Core Transformation, but you still fall asleep after drawing a high-grade Profound talisman. She deserves it, you don’t.”
“Eeeeeeek!!!”
Chun Lian’s dejected cry made Miss Gong happy. She then asked the attendant about the price of the two outfits.
“It’s free,” the attendant said enthusiastically.
“How can it be free?”
Gong Yiling felt bad and quickly took out a stack of silver notes from her Universe Ring. “I won’t take anything from the common people. If you don’t accept this, I won’t take the clothes either.”
“This…”
The attendant thought for a moment, took a few notes, then picked up the fluffy white dress Gong Yiling liked, along with a ticket-like item, and handed them to her.
“We’re having a promotion, buy two get one free. And this ticket is for my husband’s mountain bathhouse. We hope Immortal Master… will grace us with your presence and bring us good fortune.”
“Alright.”
At that moment, Gong Yiling, not thinking too much about it, didn’t realize…
That for her, this would be “torture.”
