NOVEL WEB Chapter 12 Jun Jiu, the Bandit
Jun Jiu glanced sideways at Jun Haitian, and a cold, challenging glare met his eyes. Jun Haitian’s body froze under that gaze, and he stammered, “W-What, do you have any objection?”
“No!” Jun Haitian quickly replied through clenched teeth. He would endure this for now. When Wan’er returned, they would see how arrogant Jun Jiu could remain. In the end, the wealth was all his.
Jun Jiu took out the banknotes and stood up. As she walked past Jun Haitian, she paused her steps momentarily, causing him to tense up again.
Seeing Jun Haitian’s apprehensive expression, Jun Jiu smiled and said, “Jun Haitian, have you forgotten something?”
“I would like to… send you my best wishes, Miss Jiu!”
“I understand that I am older, but there is a difference between superiority and inferiority, and you must show respect accordingly. Forget this again, and I won’t be so forgiving.” Jun Jiu turned away and left the study, her lips curled in an arrogant smile.
Once she left, Jun Haitian felt his heart racing with anxiety. He spat out a mouthful of blood and fainted, falling to the ground.
In a state of chaos, the housekeeper and servants rushed to attend to him, lifting him up and shouting for help. “Master! Master, come quickly! The master has fainted again!”
Mo Wuyue observed this scene from the shadows with a small smile, finding Xiao Jiuer’s actions quite amusing.
The Jun family’s mansion remained in turmoil, but Jun Jiu continued on her way out. Mo Wuyue didn’t follow her immediately; he had other matters to attend to.
Jun Jiu’s goal was to establish the largest bookstore in Feng Luo City. A bookstore would provide her with a comprehensive understanding of the world.
With a hefty sum of silver banknotes, Jun Jiu had reserved a private room in the bookstore. She carefully selected books herself, amassing a mountain of them. The shopkeeper was delighted. “Miss, you’re truly a generous customer! Would you like these books to be packed and delivered to you, or…?”
“Place them all in the private room. I’ll arrange them myself,” Jun Jiu instructed.
“Excellent! Miss, these books should keep you occupied for a year. If you finish them by next year, feel free to return. Our bookstore is renowned in Feng Luo City, and we have the books you desire!” The shopkeeper happily agreed.
Jun Jiu nodded and, once the shopkeeper had left, rolled up her sleeves. Ten books were placed on the table in two rows.
With a squint, Jun Jiu muttered, “Rise.”
The ten books began to open and flip pages automatically at the same speed. Jun Jiu’s eyes scanned the contents of each book with precision.
If the shopkeeper had seen this, he would have been stunned by disbelief.
Was this still considered reading? Most people took several days to finish a single book, but Jun Jiu was simultaneously reading ten. In the span of just one stick of incense, she had finished reading them all and was ready for the next batch. It was simply unnatural!
Furthermore, Jun Jiu multitasked, savoring snacks while reading, making her appear even more extraordinary.
It took Jun Jiu only one morning to read through the large stack of books, forming a small mountain. She touched her chin thoughtfully.
Xiao Wu’s voice resonated from the bracelet, “Master, how are you finding it?”
“The medical skills in this world are simply abysmal. In our realm, even an apprentice would surpass the doctors here,” Jun Jiu lamented.
Xiao Wu sounded surprised. “Are the medical skills in this world that bad?”
“Yes, they are. Medical science and technology here are akin to those from three thousand years ago in our world. Additionally, there’s a profession known as alchemy, which is more respected and esteemed than being a spiritual master.”
“Then how does your master’s medical skill compare to the alchemists?” Xiao Wu asked with curiosity.
Jun Jiu’s lips curled into a slight smile as she fiddled with the bracelet. She laughed with unrestrained confidence, “It’s a complete domination, no pressure.”
“Wow! Your master could make elixirs and become famous worldwide,” Xiao Wu exclaimed.
