Shen Baozhu tried hard to think about what Su Qian had just said. "Let Baozhu think for a while longer."
Seeing this, the True Immortal Qingyun offered a hint: [If Su Qian stays alive, his elder brother will get a plate of pastries every day. But if Su Qian is killed, his brother will only get ten plates of pastries and then there will be no more.]
[If it were you, Baozhu, which would you choose?]
"Of course the first one! I can have pastries every day." Shen Baozhu didn't hesitate at all in choosing the first option.
Guided patiently by the True Immortal Qingyun, Shen Baozhu finally understood. She couldn't help jumping up. "Brother Su Qian, I get it!"
"It means your elder brother isn't a fool. He chose to have pastries every day instead of finishing them all at once."
Although Su Qian didn't understand what this had to do with pastries, the principle was correct, so he nodded.
Shen Baozhu frowned in distress. "Who wants to harm Brother Su Qian?"
Su Qian also wanted to know. He even suspected it was a ghost coming for his life!
The little girl and the young man sat side by side and sighed at the same time.
[What are you two daydreaming about? I'm still short of two clay figurines!]
[Isn't it just to see your sister? Let the little cutie take the crybaby there!]
Shen Baozhu looked at this subtitle in confusion. She knew the little cutie referred to herself, but who was the crybaby?
Could it be Brother Su Qian?
Shen Baozhu looked at Su Qian doubtfully. "Brother Su Qian, then let Baozhu take you to see your sister!"
"No no no. He Qing won't let me go out. I'd better stay here obediently. It's not good to cause trouble." Su Qian shook his head like a rattle.
[Is the fool afraid the crybaby will run into trouble outside? Tsk, I have some invisibility fruits. I guarantee he won't be discovered by those black - clothed men.]
Because of the divine dragon just now, the Dragon King's favor towards Su Qian had increased greatly. With a wave of his sleeve, two invisibility fruits appeared.
Suddenly, two bright red fruits dropped from mid - air and landed in front of Shen Baozhu.
Shen Baozhu picked up the fruits and asked hesitantly, "If we really won't cause trouble, Brother Su Qian, do you want to go find your sister?"
"Yes!" Su Qian replied very firmly.
Then, a bright red fruit was stuffed into his hand.
Su Qian was shocked. "Baozhu, did you have the fruit in your hand just now?"
"Yes!"
Hearing Shen Baozhu's confident tone, Su Qian stupidly believed her and even began to doubt his own memory.
"Maybe I remembered wrong... This fruit is so sweet. Baozhu, try it quickly." Su Qian gobbled up the red fruit in a few bites.
Hearing that the fruit was sweet, Shen Baozhu held the fruit and took a bite. "Wow, it's delicious!"
Su Qian nodded. "The juice is also plentiful."
"Yeah."
"The texture is a bit crispy. Once you take a bite, the juice bursts in your mouth."
"Yeah."
"..."
Su Qian not only ate quickly but also remembered the taste. He commented on it in detail, while Shen Baozhu, with her small mouth, took small bites of the fruit and kept nodding in agreement.
This scene stunned the Dragon King. [Is the invisibility fruit really that delicious?]
After Shen Baozhu finished eating the invisibility fruit, she looked up and saw the subtitle, then she remembered about the invisibility.
She exclaimed excitedly, "Brother Su Qian, we're invisible!"
Su Qian was completely confused. Then, Shen Baozhu pulled him outside.
As they walked out of the courtyard, they met many servants on the way, but those people seemed not to see Shen Baozhu and Su Qian. They passed by the two of them as normal.
Su Qian couldn't help widening his eyes and said in a trembling voice, "W - w - we're invisible?"
Shen Baozhu thought it was fun and imitated his tone. "Y - y - yes, we're invisible!"
"No, Baozhu, do you understand what I mean? We're invisible!"
"Of course Baozhu understands! We're invisible, and the bad guys can't see us. Then Brother Su Qian can go find his sister."
"What are bad guys? The point is why we're invisible, how to return to normal, and whether there will be any harm from being invisible..." Su Qian rambled on, but his hand holding Shen Baozhu was shaking.
Lin Yu, who was always meticulous, was a bit surprised. [I didn't expect Su Qian to think of these things. He's really thoughtful.]
[In my place, the effect of the invisibility fruit lasts for twenty - four hours. You can return to normal in advance by soaking your whole body in water.]
[But the divine artifact is a bit of a cheat. I'm not really sure how long it will work. We'd better let Su Qian see his sister as soon as possible.]
Shen Baozhu pulled Su Qian's hand and explained, "Don't be afraid, Brother Su Qian. The fruit we just ate is an invisibility fruit. You can go see your sister invisibly!"
"The invisibility fruit was given to Baozhu by a god. It won't do any harm."
Unexpectedly, Su Qian's hand shook even more.
Su Qian closed his eyes and looked as if he was ready to face death. "I'm doomed. I must be having hallucinations. Maybe I'm still in the water tank in the workshop. Because I was so scared, I imagined that He Qing and his sister came to save me!"
[I admire this brain of yours!]
[Su Qian may have developed psychological problems because of running for his life for a long time. And he believes the story of the ghost coming for his life. It's reasonable to suspect that someone deliberately misled him.]
After Lin Yu's subtitle appeared, the True Immortal Qingyun followed. [I suspect it's Su Qian's sister.]
Shen Baozhu was stunned for a moment and said with concern, "Brother Su Qian is sick. He must be feeling very uncomfortable."
"Baozhu will buy candied fruits for Brother Su Qian. Eating the sweet candied fruits will make him happy!"
Su Qian was suddenly pulled by Shen Baozhu and almost fell.
The two left the princess's mansion and walked all the way to the street where they sold food. Shen Baozhu was like a little bee flying into a flower bush, exuding a cheerful aura all over.
When they passed by the pastry shop for the third time, Su Qian couldn't help asking, "Baozhu, my sister's inn is on another street."
"Where is that other street?" Shen Baozhu asked humbly. She only knew this street because there was a lot of delicious food here!
Su Qian looked at Shen Baozhu and overturned his previous speculation. "Baozhu is so real. This should not be a hallucination. So... Aaaaaah, the invisibility fruit given by the god!"
"You met a god! And the god gave you the invisibility fruit! Baozhu, you're amazing!"
"The god bestowed a treasure... Baozhu, are you also a god? Or a little immortal boy?"
"The name 'little immortal boy' sounds better. It doesn't sound as tiring as 'god'. Baozhu..."
Su Qian became very energetic. He even asked Shen Baozhu when she would become a god.
Shen Baozhu couldn't understand his change. "Brother Su Qian, you seem very happy?"
"Of course! I'm now protected by a little immortal boy. What are ghosts?" Su Qian had an air of bluffing with the god's might. Then he whispered, "Baozhu, you should be able to beat those ghosts, right? It doesn't matter if you can't. I'm just asking casually."
[Of course she can! With me here, not to mention ghosts, even the ghost king won't stand a chance!]
The Dragon King wished there were really ghosts so that the little cutie could see his power.
Knowing that Shen Baozhu had the help of a god, Su Qian was no longer afraid. He took Shen Baozhu to the inn where Su Yue lived.
Su Qian stood at the inn's entrance, took a deep breath, and pulled Shen Baozhu inside.
Because they were invisible, the two walked up to the second floor of the inn without any hindrance and stood in front of the guest - room door.
Su Qian had thought about many things, such as how to make his sister see him while he was invisible, or telling her that he had a backer and was no longer afraid of the black - clothed men...
But when he stood in front of the door full of expectations, he heard such a sentence.
"Don't be afraid, Ming'er. After Su Qian is dead, the Su family's workshop will be yours alone."
Su Ming was exactly the name of Su Qian's elder brother.
