The moment she heard this, Yong Shanling immediately sat up straight. Her eyes sparkled as she picked up the steamed dumplings in front of her. She popped one into her mouth after another, instantly feeling like the happiest person in the world.
Watching Yong Shanling's good appetite, Mu Yijie, who had originally had little appetite, also felt his appetite whetted.
Neither of them was the kind of person who liked to talk while eating. For one, her upbringing since childhood didn't allow it; for the other, he didn't want to let the delicious food down. The restaurant was quiet and peaceful.
After they were full, Yong Shanling took out the "Compendium of All Beasts" and wanted to see other uses of the guduiao.
Thinking of the five beauty - enhancing pills she had refined last night, she had given three to Uncle Mu and still had two left. She could find someone to auction them later, and then she would have the spirit stones for her cultivation.
"Fortunately, Uncle Mu is here!" Yong Shanling looked at Mu Yijie, who was reading the newspaper. She felt that she must have saved the Milky Way in her previous life to meet such a wealthy employer. Moreover, he was very handsome. Thinking of what had happened in the past few days, a faint blush appeared on Yong Shanling's face.
"Uncle Mu, have you ever thought about cultivating immortality?" Yong Shanling suddenly had an impulse. Her Uncle Mu was so outstanding. Wouldn't it be wonderful to let him cultivate as well?
Hearing her words, Mu Yijie pondered for a few seconds and finally shook his head firmly.
"But, but Uncle Mu, you have such a talent for alchemy and you're so smart. You'll surely achieve twice the result with half the effort in cultivation." Yong Shanling grabbed his arm and said anxiously.
Seeing Yong Shanling looking at him intently, he of course knew that this little girl always had a pure heart.
"Everything in the world has its own duties. Cultivators have their responsibilities, and businessmen also have theirs."
"Is the responsibility of a businessman to make money?" Yong Shanling blinked her big eyes and leaned closer to look at Mu Yijie carefully.
Mu Yijie couldn't help but feel his heart skip a couple of beats. He leaned back a bit and said, "Businessmen are the ones who promote the operation of the whole society and are also responsible for providing employment opportunities."
Hearing Mu Yijie's words, Yong Shanling lowered her head disappointedly. She liked Uncle Mu very much, not only because he was her employer, but also because she had learned a lot from getting along with him during this period.
Listening to what he said, it seemed that she still had a long way to go. Moreover, ordinary people generally had a limited lifespan, while cultivators could live longer to a certain extent. Immortals could even enjoy life forever. After getting along with him for this period, she inexplicably didn't want to part with this kind - hearted Uncle Mu.
"Okay, then if you change your mind someday, you must tell me." Yong Shanling emphasized again persistently, staring at Mu Yijie and waiting for his positive answer.
This girl was really stubborn. Mu Yijie couldn't help but be touched.
Just then, there suddenly came a rush of footsteps at the door. "Mu Yijie, I regret it!"
The two looked up and saw a figure rushing in. Taking a closer look, the clothes on that figure were all tattered, and there were several red marks on his face.
"Uncle Li, were you robbed?" Yong Shanling looked at the miserable Li Zhuo and asked curiously.
"Is it that Monkey Flower?" Mu Yijie had a guess and frowned tightly.
"Yes, no, no, it is." Li Zhuo stammered. Finally, he slumped on the sofa and said weakly, "Two little monkeys from Monkey Flower's monkey group followed us. We just got home yesterday, and those monkeys followed me home not long after. They were simply little demons from hell!"
Hearing Li Zhuo's description, Mu Yijie was a bit speechless. Back then, the biggest little demon from hell was Li Zhuo himself. He had been energetic since childhood, even more so than a husky that liked to destroy things at home.
"So Uncle Li, you can't even beat two monkeys." Yong Shanling stated the fact, stabbing another knife into Li Zhuo's already - hurting heart.
"Are they just ordinary monkeys? They're almost like spirits!" Li Zhuo was heart - broken. "They snatched my phone and TV, and they even laughed at me. And that Monkey Flower actually protected them."
"Uncle Li, you don't have to worry too much. Those little spirits who have just gained spiritual awareness are just like seven - or eight - year - old kids. But I can give you a talisman. It can at least protect you from life - threatening danger." Yong Shanling said with a smile.
"Will it work?" Thinking of the previous peach - blossom luck, he still had lingering fears. Although he later knew that the talisman had indeed worked, he still met the strange Monkey Flower in the end.
Seeing that Li Zhuo actually doubted her, Yong Shanling put her hands on her hips angrily. "Of course it will work. We didn't know before that you would have so many peach - blossom disasters. If I had known, I would have given you a whole bunch to carry with you."
"Okay."
After finally seeing Li Zhuo off, Yong Shanling said with emotion, "Uncle Mu, it seems that Uncle Li's family is so lively. I also want to raise a small animal. But before, Master didn't allow it. He said it was already hard enough to raise me." Thinking of Master's teasing tone at that time, Yong Shanling was depressed. "I can raise them well by myself."
Seeing the usually lively little girl looking dejected, with her round eyes drooping in disappointment, and looking like an abandoned little kitten, he couldn't bear it: "The animals raised by humans are also good. There are really too few people at home."
"Really? Then can I raise a husky? And a kitten. I want both!" Yong Shanling perked up like a cat that had smelled fish.
"Please, Uncle Mu. I promise I'll take good care of them. Uncle Mu~" Yong Shanling coquettishly pleaded with Mu Yijie.
Mu Yijie didn't say a word. He leaned back on the sofa and quietly watched this little girl.
Thinking that since this warm little girl came to the house, it seemed to have become a bit more cozy. If there were two more dogs, going out together in the morning and evening...
Mu Yijie quickly shook off the associations in his mind.
Seeing that Uncle Mu still didn't give a definite answer, she jumped behind Mu Yijie and eagerly massaged his shoulders and beat his back, constantly asking about his well - being.
Her boneless little hands pressed on his broad shoulders. They didn't have much effect, but Mu Yijie faintly felt that this girl needed to eat more. Why was she so thin?
After Yong Shanling served him well for a while, Mu Yijie finally relented and agreed.
The passing butler had a blank expression on his face. He couldn't help but recall that when Mu Yijie was a child, he didn't like animals and had even made a fuss to send away the old master's pure - bred black - back dog.
As soon as he agreed, Yong Shanling couldn't wait to go to the pet store to pick out a pet. However, she was refused by Mu Yijie. "I still have to go to the company to deal with some things later."
Yong Shanling's lively little face immediately fell. She looked at him accusingly.
Seeing her red - rimmed eyes and her delicate doll - like face stunned by this bad news. His heart softened. This pitiful look actually made people have a desire to destroy.
