Chapter 17: A date and buying herbs
Lu Bing:" Young master, now that I can see you more, you are really handsome man, do you have a girlfriend?" She was just starting a conversation because she knew he was a waste, well the older version was.
Tianlong Yun was really amused with her tries so he kept his acting mode and said,
Tianlong Yun:" G..girl..girlfriend?? N.noo I don't have o..one." I mean can you believe this guy was acting being so timid and shy?? No right, that's why even Lu Bing couldn't and she was happy that everything was going so smooth and continued,
Lu Bing:" Re..really ?? I am so happy right now, young master may not know this but I have a crush on you and would like to be your girlfriend, what do you think about going on a date just me and you this weekend??" Tianlong Yun was stupefied wasn't this being to direct? But then he remembered that the previous owner of this body was a desperate idiot so he said as timidly as he could,
Tianlong Yun:" O..ok I..I have some free time on Friday." He was thinking that 3 days would be enough to train this masochist woman. His answer made Lu Bing even happier she completed her job and all that was left was trapping him in a honey trap on their date and she could finally complete her job and Tianlong Xiangyun would meet her with that master of hers that would fulfill her wish.
Tianlong Yun was still in his timid and shy mode in the outside but on the inside he was thanking heavens for his good luck, I mean how many people could say that wish to eat fish from a good restaurant and at that time the fish would drop on their mouth from the sky.
Meanwhile in the bathroom Jennifer was trying to freshen up her makeup meanwhile Tianlong Xia was helping Tianlong Yue with hers. At the beginning Tianlong Yue was startled why would her inexistent aunt try to approach her, did her mother told her to do this? But then she remembered that Tianlong Xia was always opposing her mother and she thought that she was the same as her and in a way they were kindred spirits.
Thinking this way Tianlong Yue started to open up and speak more with Tianlong Xia little by little and in no time they were behaving like sisters. It's really difficult to understand the female mind, more precisely it's impossible two women who never spoke more than 5 words a day to each other were behaving like close sisters. This stupefied not only Tianlong Yun but even Lu Bing how was this possible.
At the beginning Tianlong Xia thought to tell Tianlong Yue to act as always but then she thought that Jennifer had been by their side all this time and would be even more suspicious if they changed the way they behaved, furthermore Lu Bing must have entered her own trap and would soon be on her darlings control.
After the three women returned to the table and ordered everyone was eating their food while Tianlong Xia and Tianlong Yue were still speaking like close sisters. The truth was that Tianlong Xia knew that Tianlong Yue was really innocent and cute and different form her mother when she entered the harem of her darling she wouldn't be a slave or a maid but a concubine or even a wife because she had the potential and love for that so she was trying even more to treat her as a little sister, a relationship that would be made possible from her darling.
What was really strange was that this was the first time she felt that she really had a little sister in this kind of scenario, in her previous life her husband had thousands of women around him but not even one of them was like a sister to her, all they thought all day long was scheming and blaming each other to make the Dragon Emperor lose his interest on them, and as the Dragon Empress she wasn't left out of that.
Anyway like this their lunch finished and they left the shopping mall under the lustful gaze of a man at the top office and the warm goodbye of Jennifer. They got in their car just like when they arrived for shopping with the only change that Tianlong Yun was behaving even more timid and shy than when they arrived here and he kept his head lowered down but on the same time didn't let this chance escape and kept teasing Tianlong Yue's silky hand touching and writing on her palm, make Tianlong Yue's young heart jump like crazy.
Tianlong Yue couldn't make sense how was it possible that this shy and timid stepbrother of hers was taking such cheap advantage of her and was making her heart beat like crazy.
After 10 more minutes they arrived at the traditional medicine market of the city and Tianlong Xia ordered Lu Bing to wait for them in the car while she took Tianlong Yun and Tianlong Yue towards the addresses where she had found that they could buy the 'flower of life' to help them in their cultivation.
When they entered the shop Tianlong Yun was stupefied and she could feel that he was amazed from what he was seeing, there were some herbs in this place that were being sold as worthless but that were so special and rare in the Immortal world. What kind of joke was this 'Dragon flower' was being sold for less than 5000 yuan which for him was nothing because in the Immortal world this was priceless and there was also a 'Nirvana root' in here which was sold for less than 10.000 yuan, to normal people of this world this was expensive but to him this was the same as saying that a Ferrari was being sold at 1 yuan, really crazy right? But it was the truth it seemed like he had underestimated this world a bit to much and he needed to reevaluate his plans for when to leave this world.
But for the moment he didn't have a lot of money so he said to Tianlong Xia to buy three 'flower of life' at the price of 5000 yuan each and three 'Dragon flower' at 5000 yuan each and last three 'Nirvana root" at 10.000 yuan each for a total of 60.000 yuan and from the money of Tianlong Xia only 35.000 yuan were left.
Somebody may ask what was so special about the 'Dragon flower' and 'Nirvana root' and the truth was that normally this were useless but when combined together and with some extra herbs that he was able to buy for 5.000 yuan he was able to concoct a solution that would help them absorb the Qi in the environment and ease their bottlenecks in all the smaller stages between a big stage because, big stages needed changes in comprehension but the small stages were only changes in the quality and quantity of Qi and this concoction helped them build a solid rock foundation and increased their Qi quality with every small breakthrough.
It was the same as having another pair of wings to fly faster and at better control. Tianlong Yun was very happy with what he could get, without being disturbed and left with Tianlong Xia and Tianlong Yue towards the car.
Meanwhile Tianlong Yue couldn't make a connection of the person who was buying the herbs and her shy and timid stepbrother was like he was totally a different person full of confidence and security which made her feel really safe, it was like she was dreaming and all this was happening inside a dream.
Tianlong Xia being a woman and more sensitive in this issues she could tell what her small sister was thinking right now and said to her in a low voice,
Tianlong Xia:" We have a lot to talk Yue'er after we go home come to my room and we will discuss about everything, I can help you with your problem, and furthermore help you fulfill your love and give you new hope." To Tianlong Yue her words were like an oasis in the middle of the dessert so she felt really emotional and nodded her head just like a chicken.
Tianlong Yun was hearing all of this from the side without interfering and he was happy to observe that Tianlong Xia treated Tianlong Yue as a little sister because truth be told he really liked her innocent and cute personality and couldn't see her as a slave or a maid so he would like for her to be like a little sister to his lover. He couldn't be to partial in his treating those he liked and loved could he?
