Chapter 775: Emotional Warming Up (Please Subscribe)_1

Gu Linruo came back to her senses and smiled, "Ouyang Senior Brother, as for what to buy, I haven't really thought about it. Why don't you recommend something for me?"

Actually, she just wanted to go out with Xu Sheng and wasn't really keen on shopping, so her mind was filled with blanks, not knowing what to purchase!

Ouyang Qin seemed to see through her thoughts, and without changing his expression, propped up his chin in thought and said, "Is that so? Since Senior Sister Gu has a companion now, naturally, you should focus on dressing yourself up!"

"Otherwise, you have to be careful that your companion might be snatched away by another woman."

He said that quite seriously. Although Gu Linruo was very beautiful, it couldn't be guaranteed that Xu Sheng wouldn't develop a romantic interest in other female disciples!

And if the other party paid attention to dressing up, it could lead to the awkward situation where innate beauty couldn't compare with the latter's enhancements!

Upon hearing this, Gu Linruo's beautiful eyes suddenly lit up; she had never paid attention to this issue before...

Perhaps if she dressed up carefully, it would increase Xu Sheng's fondness for her!

Then, with hopeful eyes, she looked at Xu Sheng and softly inquired, "Junior Brother Xu, what do you think??"

Xu Sheng was momentarily stunned, "Actually, Senior Sister Gu is already very beautiful, there's no need for all these things. However, everyone has the desire to look beautiful, becoming even more beautiful wouldn't hurt!"

Gu Linruo, with her gaze burning, pressed Xu Sheng, "Then if I were to dress up well, would Junior Brother Xu be moved?"

Xu Sheng was a bit flustered as he said, "Eh? Why would Senior Sister ask that? Surely nobody would not be moved, right?"

Of course, that included himself!

He greatly admired Gu Linruo's personality and appearance. However, when it came to becoming companions...

There was more to consider than just that...

Hearing Xu Sheng's reply, Gu Linruo got her spirits back up, blinked her beautiful eyes, and said, "Then Ouyang Senior Brother, I'll leave it to you!"

Ouyang Qin smiled, "Since Senior Sister Gu has requested, naturally it's no problem. Both of you, come with me!"

Subsequently, Ouyang Qin didn't lead them to the upper floors of the Xuanbao Pavilion, but instead into a more secluded door near the wall...

In the pitch-dark corridor, Xu Sheng was rather puzzled and asked, "Ouyang Senior Brother, if these are things for sale, why are they placed in such a concealed location?"

Ouyang Qin glanced at Xu Sheng and explained, "Junior Brother Xu might not know, but as for these external items, the Xuantian Sect strictly cracks down on them. Our Xuantian Pavilion is under great pressure just to persuade them, so we can barely get the sect to turn a blind eye!"

"Hence, we dare not sell them openly!"

Gu Linruo, who was next to them, nodded and said, "I see, all these years I had no idea such things were for sale; no wonder there are many female disciples on Miao Miao Peak who have that thing called blush..."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Qin chuckled, "Senior Sister Gu is naturally beautiful and has no need for those low-quality goods! If used too much, they can actually cause the skin to decay."

Items like blush were nothing but things used by ordinary disciples who didn't have the support of Spirit Stones yet still desired to become beautiful...

Xu Sheng thought to himself, "Blush... Even the Cultivation World has such things? It seems I am really ignorant."

Gu Linruo furrowed her brow, "If you know it can damage the skin, why would female disciples still use it?"

Ouyang Qin was stumped by the question and lightly chuckled, "Senior Sister Gu, not everyone is as beautiful as you! Most female disciples are nameless and seem mundane even when standing right before you!"

Being praised, Gu Linruo's face flushed with color, and she sneakily glanced at Xu Sheng beside her...

Was she really that beautiful?

To be honest, she herself wasn't very clear about it!

But since Ouyang Senior Brother said so, she must be pretty, right?

While she was pondering, Ouyang Qin suddenly broke the contemplation with his voice, "Junior Brother Xu, Senior Sister Gu, we have arrived!"

Xu Sheng and Gu Linruo came back to their senses, looking at the array of rather ordinary goods in front of them, while on the other side, there were treasures exuding fluctuations of spiritual power!

Ouyang Qin explained, "These in front of you are the common blushes used by the female disciples, as for the treasures over there, they're not even in the same league! Of course, the price is also,"

Having said that, he walked over to the side with the treasures and picked up a blood-red, yet very smooth agate stone, explaining, "This item is called Biyu Agate; it has the effect of nourishing and moisturizing, leaving the skin more delicate!"

"This is a Magic Fish Jade Pendant, inside which a formation has been applied to increase the wearer's charm. Although of course, for Senior Sister Gu, the boost is not significant."

"This is a Mist Gauze Treasure Garment, which can slow down skin aging. Senior Sister Gu, look around, which one do you like? Don't feel obliged to chase after functionality."

Seeing all these fascinating treasures before her, Gu Linruo's Beautiful Eyes sparkled with intense curiosity, as if some special attribute had also been awakened...

Xu Sheng was also quite interested in these treasures...

Perhaps in the future, he could take some back to the Douluo plane!

Gu Linruo walked over to the treasures and casually picked up a sky-blue pendant she quite fancied, asking, "Ouyang Senior Brother, may I try this one?"

Ouyang Qin said indifferently, "Of course, how could you know if it fits without trying?"

After getting permission, Gu Linruo's Beautiful Eyes turned to Xu Sheng, asking softly with a hint of shyness, "Um, Junior Brother Xu, could you help me put this on?"

Xu Sheng came back to his senses and responded instinctively, "Of course."

He chuckled as he walked to Gu Linruo's side, took the shimmering pendant, and carefully put it on her. The touch of her smooth skin inadvertently stirred a whirlwind in Xu Sheng's heart...

Ouyang Qin, who stood to the side with his arms crossed, teased, "Junior Brother Xu, how is Senior Sister Gu's skin?"

Xu Sheng answered instinctively, "Very nice!"

Even though he knew he had been set up, his face showed no sign of panic...

Hearing the two of them talk so casually about such matters made Gu Linruo, the person in question, shyly say, "Junior Brother Xu, Ouyang Senior Brother, could we not discuss this kind of thing?"

Ouyang Qin's lips curved up in an arc, "The pendant suits you very well, Senior Sister Gu. Why not let Junior Brother Xu choose for you! Maybe––"

Gu Linruo almost gritted her teeth and said, "Ouyang Senior Brother!!"

...

Adorned with these treasures, Gu Linruo's entire demeanor became even more enchanting!

Her Beautiful Eyes turned to Ouyang Qin and she said softly, "Ouyang Senior Brother, I've finished choosing, just these!"

Ouyang Qin looked them over and said softly, "For these four treasures, I'll give you a discount, let's make it Seven Thousand Spirit Stones."

Gu Linruo exclaimed in surprise, "Sev... Seven Thousand Spirit Stones??"

Before she could finish, Xu Sheng tossed over a Storage Cosmos Bag, saying nonchalantly, "There are ten thousand Spirit Stones in here; forget the discount! Let's go, Senior Sister Gu!"

He, who had won the top spot in the big competition among the five peaks, had received a reward of twenty thousand Spirit Stones!

As for why he was willing to part with them, in his eyes, they were merely ordinary rocks...

Seeing Xu Sheng paying the Spirit Stones for her, a joyful Gu Linruo linked her arm in his and said softly, "Hmm..."

Of course, what made her happy was not spending fewer Spirit Stones, but Xu Sheng's attitude towards her...

Ouyang Qin shook his head helplessly, took out two rings glinting with silver light, and said to stop them, "Wait! It's not often that such a well-matched pair like Senior Sister Gu and Junior Brother Xu comes along. Take this treasure as my gift to you!"

"These are two rings of yin and yang, capable of sensing each other's presence! I presume you'll find them useful."
