"Master, what’s the rush? Since we’ve come to the Mortal World, we should follow local customs. As long as the Primordial Demon Dragon doesn’t make a move, neither shall we." Rong Feng, having mixed with mortals for so many years, roughly knew some rules.

"Besides, look around, the Mortal World is crowded everywhere. If it causes a stir in the bustling streets, a battle could harm so many innocent lives."

Lan Xi, looking at the bustling, traffic-heavy streets before her, felt that Rong Feng made sense.

"Then do you have any ideas?"

Rong Feng glanced into the distance, pondered for a moment, and said with a grave expression, "It’s not that we don’t have a plan..."

Mi Xi tapped his head heavily with her fan, "Then spit it out!"

Rong Feng gave Lan Xi an embarrassed smile, "That is, first we do nothing, and act when the enemy does."

Lan Xi nodded, "What a strategy, act when the enemy acts. So, what should we do now?"

"Conceal our aura, blend into the bustling market, and wait for the appearance of the Primordial Demon Dragon." Rong Feng hadn’t expected that his offhand suggestion would turn out to be such a good idea.

And so, he led Lan Xi into the commotion.

In the street, the shops were full of dazzling goods, some exotic food, and street performers’ stalls left Lan Xi stunned.

"Ah Qing! Was this where you used to live?" Lan Xi turned and looked at him with tender eyes.

Shaoqing nodded, "I’ve been in the Heavens for so long that I’ve forgotten many things. Actually, when I was in the Mortal World, it wasn’t this prosperous. It must have developed like this over time."

"Oh!" Lan Xi nodded and casually picked up a sugar figurine from a stall.

She burst into happy laughter.

Her stunning beauty and radiant smile instantly attracted everyone’s gaze, making them stop in their tracks.

Men found themselves unable to look away, their legs heavy as if filled with lead.

After their initial shock, women didn’t even have time for jealousy before their feelings turned to admiration.

Such a beautiful woman without any makeup, yet as gorgeous as a fairy, her noble and cool demeanor, even a simple smile was so captivating.

"What a beautiful sister!" Even children around three or four years old were mesmerized.

Rong Feng felt embarrassed, not expecting his master’s appearance to cause such a sensation.

It seemed this journey was fated not to be low-key.

"Rong Feng, I want this. Let’s each get one!" Lan Xi was naturally unconcerned about the surrounding gazes, having always lived under the halo of adoration.

Being a goddess, she could grant a person a new life or take it away in an instant.

Since Rong Feng was more versed in living among mortals, he naturally knew what could be bartered for food.

Rong Feng immediately searched his pockets and revealed a bitter smile, "Master, before we came back, I spent all my money on wine. Now... it’s gone!"

Lan Xi, holding the sugar figurine, appeared reluctant to put it down, while Chaos and the three others were more outrageous, biting off half of their figurines and gulping it down.

Returning them like this now seemed rather improper.

Lan Xi fell silent for a while, then turned to Shaoqing and said, "Do you have anything that could be exchanged for this?"

Shaoqing’s mouth twitched slightly as he touched his chest, then shook his head, "Apart from the Heavenly Sword, there is..."

The handkerchief you gave me, which I could never part with even in death.

"And?"

"Nothing else!" Shaoqing shook his head.

Lan Xi frowned, looked at the sugar figurine in her hand, then at the elderly man making the figurines, and said with regret, "We don’t have anything to exchange for this sugar.

So, here’s what we can do: seeing as you are advanced in years, I will grant you fifty more years of life in exchange for these sugar figurines, how about that? "

She wasn’t a goddess who liked to take advantage of others. The items she carried were magic artifacts from the Immortal Realm and naturally couldn’t be left in the Mortal World.

However, granting mortals dozens of years of life was merely a matter of reaching out and taking hold.

The old man listened, looked Lan Xi up and down, and then hesitated, "Young lady, I see you are beautiful, but that doesn’t mean you can talk nonsense. If you like the sugar figurine, I’ll just give it to you. Do you think you are Lord Yama, bestowing lifespans?"

Talking nonsense?

Lan Xi looked puzzledly at Rong Feng.

Rong Feng’s face darkened slightly and he coughed, "Master, only you can do such a thing. Even Lord Yama doesn’t have the power to grant lifespans at will. He doesn’t believe us!"

Lan Xi took the sugar figurine and licked it, finding it so sweet!

Even though the old man said he would give it to her, she couldn’t just take it for free.

Lan Xi thought that since he didn’t believe her, it was as good a time as any to make him believe.

Standing in front of the sugar figurines, Lan Xi considered for a moment, "Old man, we cannot just take your things for nothing. So, for five sugar figurines, I grant you fifty years of life. That should be fair to you."

With that, Lan Xi walked off with the sugar figurines.

A group of five, each holding one.

Mi Xi stood on the side, looking around curiously.

Having never been to the mortal world before, he naturally didn’t know the customs, but he was happy as long as there was something to eat.

Of course, he quite enjoyed himself as he fanned and a group of women watched him with stars in their eyes.

Such was the charm of a Handsome Immortal.

On the street, a line of three adults and two children, with perfect features and outstanding temperament, caused people to step aside to make way and stop to admire them.

At that moment, an old man selling sugar figurines was surrounded by a crowd on the street.

There were exclamations all around.

"Ah! Elder Chen, is that really you?" a vendor shouted in surprise at the man making sugar figurines in the stall. The man was in his early twenties and bore no resemblance to the old man who had been over seventy.

In just a breath’s time, his white hair had turned black, and his deeply lined cheeks became smooth and delicate, with skin much better than that of an ordinary young person.

"Who else would I be if not myself? What are you shouting for?" the sugar figurine seller shouted, his voice having changed from old and hoarse to robust and powerful.

He himself was also taken aback.

At this time, everyone crowded around.

After all, the beautiful woman resembling a fairy had said she granted him fifty years of life, so...

Had he transformed from a seventy-year-old man into a twenty-year-old in a flash?

At that moment, a man selling mirrors handed an old mirror to him, and when the sugar figurine seller saw his own face clearly, he was stunned on the spot.

There was a three-second silence among everyone.

Then, the vendors and passersby turned and ran, chasing in the direction where the woman had disappeared.

"Fairy Sister, please wait!"

...

Guided by Rong Feng, Lan Xi arrived and sat down in a luxuriously decorated private dining room in a restaurant.

"Master, the dishes in the mortal world are much better than those in the Immortal Realm. Order whatever you want to eat. I’ll find a way to get some gold first," Rong Feng said, about to get up.

Lan Xi looked at him, puzzled, "What is gold?"

Isn’t Immortal Grass Ganoderma, Magic Artifacts, or Ancient Scrolls more valuable?

Rong Feng gave a strange smile, his expression indescribable, "It’s the floor tiles that you tread on in your Goddess Palace."
