In the Daughter's Kingdom in June, the scenery was picturesque. Although it was midsummer, it wasn't as unbearably hot as one might expect.
The weather was just right in the evening, neither too cold nor too hot. The sunset glow in the sky was burning brightly red. Yang Xue, Qingqing, Yue Bai, and Xiaoshan decided to go for a stroll on the street.
As for Fangfang and Duoduo, they were now being taught by Boss Hua in the back kitchen to cook. During their leisure time, Boss Hua also taught them how to read, write, and even do needlework.
It seemed that Yang Xue didn't need to find other ways out for them. It was best to let Boss Hua take care of them. Boss Hua was lonely in her later years and needed company.
As soon as they stepped onto the street, Xiaoshan saw someone selling candied haws on a stick. She looked up at Yue Bai timidly and asked, "Can I have a stick of candied haws?"
Yue Bai held her hand and couldn't help but tap her little nose. A faint smile appeared on her cold face as she replied, "Of course you can. How many sticks do you want?"
"Three. The two elder sisters must want to eat them too." Xiaoshan said in a milky voice, swallowing several times as she spoke.
"Thud!"
"Ouch! Who is it?" Yang Xue was just watching this heart - warming scene and had even reached for her purse to pay. Suddenly, her forehead hurt badly.
"Sorry!" The God of Wealth suddenly appeared in front of her. He picked up a gold ingot from the ground apologetically and said, "I'm very sorry. I accidentally hit you."
The others were stunned when they saw this. They also wished to be hit by the gold and didn't mind the pain.
Yang Xue twitched the corner of her mouth. Why was it always her who got hit?
If it had been before, she would have been overjoyed. But now, with the great mountain of gold from the Great Sage by her side, she could remain indifferent when seeing gold.
"It's okay," Yang Xue rubbed her head. "Since you're the God of Wealth, Xiaoshan wants to eat candied haws. We'll use this to buy them."
Qingqing swallowed her saliva and asked, "Buy candied haws with a gold ingot. Can we finish them?"
"We don't have to buy all with it. We can get change." Yue Bai saw that the God of Wealth was looking at Yang Xue intently. She couldn't help but get closer to Qingqing and said indifferently to tease her, "You've known him for so long. Have you ever been hit by gold?"
"No." Qingqing shook her head dejectedly. "The God of Wealth is always very stingy towards a little fox like me."
"Stop thinking about it. There's a huge gap between you two. It's like the difference between heaven and earth. It's better to go back to Qingqiu and find a male fox. He's not someone you can have thoughts about." Yue Bai always saw things clearly. She couldn't bear to see Qingqing continue to be infatuated.
Qingqing didn't say a word. She tightly pinched her palm and her eyes lingered on the God of Wealth.
Yang Xue didn't want Qingqing to be sad, so she distanced herself from the God of Wealth and said, "Since the God of Wealth is accompanying us for a stroll, please lead the way in front. Are you ready to pay?"
"Okay." He looked at Yang Xue curiously. Thinking about how Sun Wukong had shown off to him, he felt uncomfortable.
But now he couldn't leave. He still had to continue protecting her safety.
To be more precise, he needed to absorb some of the good fortune from Yang Xue. In the Three Realms, there really wasn't anyone who could easily hurt her.
But he didn't want to tell the truth, lest Sun Wukong come every day and increase his pain.
"By the way, with the God of Wealth in front of us, how can we ask for wealth?" Yang Xue winked at the other three. "This is a once - in - a - lifetime opportunity. Asking for wealth in front of the deity himself, he won't refuse, right?"
The God of Wealth laughed and nodded gently. Then he turned to look at Xiaoshan and Yue Bai and said, "Seeing that the young lady has added a new member to her group, and you need to spend money on three meals a day when walking in the human world. You go first."
The pedestrians on the street heard their conversation and couldn't help but shake their heads. They thought these people looked good, but why were they talking nonsense? Maybe their minds weren't working properly.
Gradually, the pedestrians automatically avoided them for fear of being affected.
In the eyes of the pedestrians, the God of Wealth was just an ordinary - looking woman.
Yue Bai tightened her grip on Xiaoshan's hand and was a bit excited.
They in Qingqiu always kept a low profile and generally didn't go down the mountain. Even when they walked in the human world, they mostly appeared as simple commoners.
After all, they didn't have much money and were rather thrifty in their daily life.
But after seeing the colorful world, they actually also wanted to live a more luxurious life.
"Xiaoshan, hold out your hand." The God of Wealth bent down and gently tapped on her palm.
Money makes the world go round. This saying was applicable to any existence in the Three Realms. Which demon or god could refuse money?
"Clang! Clang!" The clear sound made people instantly energetic. This was the sound of money colliding.
"Wow!" Xiaoshan jumped up excitedly and looked up at Yue Bai. "So much gold!"
"Hold it with both hands." Qingqing stared with wide eyes. Seeing the gold overflowing from Xiaoshan's palm out of thin air, she quickly squatted down and pulled her other hand open.
Yang Xue looked at the faint barrier around them and thought that if the people on the street saw this scene, they would probably rush away in a panic and carry the God of Wealth back to their homes to worship.
Except for Yang Xue, everyone's money bags were full.
Yue Bai suddenly felt very regretful. She thought that if she had known earlier, she would have sewn a bigger money bag. Anyway, the God of Wealth only filled one bag but didn't limit the size of the bag.
Qingqing held the bulging money bag, and the loneliness in her heart became more obvious.
Why had she chased after the God of Wealth for hundreds of years but never received even one tael of gold? While Yang Xue just said a few words to him, and everyone got to share the God of Wealth's fortune.
Yue Bai tapped her on the shoulder as she was standing there in a daze. "Stop standing there stupidly. Take back your feelings as soon as possible. What's not yours will never be yours. Isn't it good to get two bags of gold? When the two of you part ways, get a few more bags from him."
Qingqing glared at her. "Elder sister, you always know how to hurt my feelings. Do you think I love him for his money?"
"A blind infatuation that will never bear fruit is cheaper than grass. How can it be compared to gold?" Yue Bai walked in front and said to Xiaoshan, "Don't ever learn from her. When you grow up, if you fall in love with a man you can never be with for a long time, then get as much money from him as you can. Do you understand?"
"Sister, you're going to lead Xiaoshan astray!" Qingqing stamped her foot angrily.
"Why?" Xiaoshan opened her big eyes full of confusion.
Yue Bai stared at Zhao Gongming in front. His eyes were all on Yang Xue, while Yang Xue only had the Great Sage in her heart.
"Because unrequited love hurts both yourself and others, while money is something that belongs to you. At least when you're sad and want to eat and drink well, money can solve your problems. Do you understand?" She thought of the leopard she had loved in her heart for hundreds of years and showed a bitter smile.
Qingqing followed beside her and rarely refuted.
When they got back in the evening, Yang Xue thought that she had made so many friends in the Daughter's Kingdom but hadn't had a good gathering with them for a meal and a chat. So she decided to prepare a hot - pot dinner for everyone.
All good things must come to an end. In a few days, Yue Bai would take Xiaoshan away, and everyone would go their separate ways. It would be extremely difficult to meet again.
She carried the prepared hot - pot ingredients into the room and saw a familiar figure!
The world was really small. It turned out that the former lover of Yue Bai, the leopard demon, was actually the Black Panther King!
"Is it you?" The Black Panther King saw Yang Xue wearing an apron at a glance and immediately stood up from the chair. "Why did you leave without saying goodbye back then? I've been looking for you for a long time."
"..." Yue Bai's heart skipped a beat. He had also met Yang Xue...
Their sisters were so unlucky.
