Chapter 249: Chapter 32 Behold! Shou Zhe’s Tactics_2

“Junior Sister, you’ve been so generous to humankind. These trifling sacred-grade skincare products are nothing in comparison. They don’t even add up to a few thousand Qian Golds, so I’m gifting them all to you. This [Mirror of Fairies Reflection] is included as well.” Wang Shouzhe casually tossed out the offer, the epitome of “generosity.”

The so-called Mirror of Fairies Reflection was, in fact, an exquisitely made, tiny mirror.

“Junior Brother, you’re so kind, even kinder than my own master. You’re even willing to give away the sacred-grade products and the Mirror!” The Junior Sister was visibly moved, her cheeks a bright pink, “But my master has always told me never take things for free, so here’s four thousand Qian Gold for you.”

Then she stubbornly shoved a handful of Qian Gold to Wang Shouzhe. If he refused to take, she’d get very angry.

Reluctantly, Wang Shouzhe accepted the Qian Gold.

Then he moved to the next step.

“Junior Sister, your hair seems a bit dry. Look here at the ends, they’re even split! How could you not take better care of yourself?” Wang Shouzhe lamented seriously, then pulled out two fancy glass bottles. “The one in green is [Moisturizing and Silky]. It’s specially formulated for washing your silky hairs. Any kind of dandruff, greasy stains, all can be cleaned at once while leaving a moisturizing effect.”

“And that one in blue is [Chaos Butterfly Hundred Flower Fragrance]. It’s a hair conditioner that can make your hair shiny, soft, and gives off the scent of hundreds of flowers, attracting butterflies.”

“Really? What’s the cost?” Junior Sister’s eyes went wide. This was another sacred-grade product.

“Junior Sister, please don’t speak about vulgar things like money with me. Let’s just say it’s my contribution to humanity’s guardians.” Wang Shouzhe deflected with a flourish. “It’s not worth more than a few thousand golds, a trivial matter really.”

“No, I can’t take advantage of you like this. Here, take five thousand Qian Gold. Make sure to accept, Junior Brother.”

“Junior Sister, you are really… Sigh!” After several refusals, Wang Shouzhe reluctantly pocketed the five thousand Qian Gold, thinking to himself, the people of this Saint Place of Learning Palace sure are wealthy!

Vertiginously Ostentatious.

After this series of exchanges.

The Senior Brothers, who had been watching the show from their hidden corners, were stunned. Could things really be worked out this way?

“Junior Sister, shouldn’t you… catch this handsome man quickly and use him for your horrifying experiments?”

“How come you’re suddenly eating snacks?”

“And started studying skincare and haircare with him?”

The Senior Sisters, on the other hand, couldn’t help but feel envious. Wang Shouzhe is not only handsome, he’s also so gentle and delightful. If he could help to apply the Ice Skin Snow Nourishing Cream, it would be paradise indeed.

Unfortunately, Shouzhe’s products are too pricey, and they are not as rich as the Junior Sister.

And so on and so forth.

After about half an hour.

Junior Sister gained a bevy of bottles and jars, while Wang Shouzhe’s wallet was now stuffed full of Qian Gold.

Seeing that the atmosphere was ripe, Wang Shouzhe said, “My wife’s still waiting for me at home. Junior Sister, take your time with these things, if you ever run out, just tell me.”

“Wait, if you leave now, what about my experiment?”

She’s unyielding indeed. After pondering a bit, Wang Shouzhe replied, “Actually, I’m quite dull, with remarkably ordinary life energy.”

“You look handsome, how could you be ordinary?” Junior Sister accused with a you’re-lying expression.

“Junior Sister, you’ve been out of touch from your work in Changchun Valley, making contributions for humanity. We shouldn’t judge someone’s worth based on their appearance. As the saying goes, ‘all that glitters is not gold’, that’s who I am.” Wang Shouzhe solemnly advised. “I think Senior Brother Jinshan is different. Although he doesn’t look particularly appealing, his natural-born wisdom emanates from within.”

“Therefore, I highly recommend Senior Brother Jinshan. Junior Sister, you don’t want your tree man to have only a handsome appearance but an empty head, right?”

“You make a very good point.” Junior Sister seemed convinced, sighing with regret, “But Jinshan is not around, where could he have gone?”

Jinshan, who was secretly watching from behind a bookshelf, had a sudden sense of impending doom, “This bastard is setting me up.”

“Don’t worry, Junior Sister. Jinshan’s just being childish, playing hide and seek with you. Go behind that bookshelf and take a look.”

Junior Sister then ran over, moved the bookshelf aside, and was pleasantly surprised to find, “Jinshan, there you are. Come on, let’s go back and run the experiment.”

“Help, no, Junior Sister, spare me,” Senior Brother Jinshan was almost in tears, “I beg you, spare me, I haven’t even gotten married or had children yet.”

“Jinshan, you must understand that what you are doing is for the whole human race. Since you are not aware of this, I’m afraid I must force you,” the junior sister said.

With a wave of her hands, a wave of green Mysterious Energy surged out.

A vine that looked like a climbing rose shot out from her sleeves, hurtling towards Senior Brother Jinshan.

Senior Brother Jinshan let out a cry of alarm.

He tried to run, using his movement technique, but it was too late. The climbing rose had already firmly caught hold of his foot.

Then, the vine, which was covered in flowers, swiftly wrapped around him, lifting him into the air and tying him into a big character.

Senior Brother Jinshan screamed out in pain, for the climbing rose was no ordinary vine. Beneath its beautiful exterior lay countless thorns.

Once tied up, the thorns sunk into his body.

While the pain and poison set in, making Jinshan’s body gradually go numb, he lost all strength to struggle.

Such a scene made Wang Shouzhe feel nervous. This climbing rose of the junior sister was definitely not something simple, probably some kind of Spirit Seed.

He wondered how it would compare to his Bloodthirsty Vines. Which one would be more powerful?

Meanwhile, Wang Shouzhe felt very complicated inside. He thought to himself, “I’m sorry, Senior Brother Jinshan. I don’t want to be beaten to death by my wife when I go back. I can only put you in this tough situation.”

“Sigh! So this is how adults handle things,” he mourned.

“It doesn’t always have to be an argument followed by a fight. Changing your perspective can also solve the problem.”

Just as Wang Shouzhe was planning to sneak away from this place of trouble, thinking that what the eye doesn’t see, the heart doesn’t grieve over, suddenly…

A mild voice tinged with admonishment rang out, “Green Fern, that’s enough. Stop bullying Junior Brother Jinshan.”

A seemingly ordinary old farmer, who Wang Shouzhe had met in the Spirit Field of Changchun Valley, appeared in the Instructing Dao Palace, with a hoe in hand and a straw hat on his head.

Wang Shouzhe was slightly startled but quickly composed himself. He couldn’t help but wonder, could this ordinary looking farmer be the legendary Master Changchun?

“Ah, Master, how did you get here?” Upon seeing the elder, Junior Sister Green Fern became flustered. “I wasn’t bullying Jinshan, he was preparing to help me with an experiment.”

“After seeing some random experiments from the ruins of the Divine Martial Dynasty, you’re messing around,” Master Changchun scolded. “The idea of combining humans with plants goes against the ethics of the Heavenly Dao. Have you forgotten, how did the powerful Divine Martial Dynasty ultimately come to an end?”

“Whimper~” Junior Sister Green Fern immediately felt wronged. “I just wanted to give it a try?”

“We in Changchun Valley always say, we should not defy the Heavenly Dao, we should go with the flow,” Master Changchun said calmly. “Don’t bring up that experiment again. Besides, what do you know about life factors?”

“There’s information in the techniques left in the ruins of the Divine Martial Dynasty. All men have them…” Junior Sister Green Fern retorted.

Master Changchun’s face darkened.

Upon seeing the master’s sour expression, Junior Sister Green Fern quickly let go of Senior Brother Jinshan and scampered away. Before leaving, she turned to Wang Shouzhe and said, “Junior Brother Shouzhe, I’ll come find you when I need more stuff.” After that, she disappeared from sight.

Surviving the ordeal, Senior Brother Jinshan thanked Master Changchun saying, “Thank you, Master, for saving me.”

“You should also stop fooling around. The Wang’s No. 7 wheat variety was developed painstakingly by several generations,” Master Changchun scolded. “Your careless decoding disregards others’ hard work. What then?”

“Yes, Master,” Senior Brother Jinshan responded, dripping with sweat.

Master Changchun ignored him and turned to Wang Shouzhe, who he examined with a deep and meaningful smile, “You young man, you are quite capable.”
