Xiaocao was finally hugged by Ike in her arms, but in such an environment, she cried very hard that day, until she was finally taken back to her room by Ike. The person who seemed particularly mature left a kiss on her forehead before leaving.
That night, Xiaocao fell asleep exhausted, but had a very beautiful dream. In the dream, she was not the princess of Saigon, and Ike was not the persecuted person. The two of them lived in a carefree city, resting from sunrise to sunset. When they were having this dream, Xiaocao's tears soaked the pillow.
She was listless when she woke up the next day. She now lives in Tucker's house. Tucker treats her as her sister, which Su Su strongly requested. She saw that this girl was really pleasing, so she strongly asked Xiaocao to move in.
"Oh! What's wrong with this! Did he hit you?" Su Su asked with distress when she saw Xiaocao's eyes were red and swollen.
Xiaocao shook her head and said in a very, very low voice: "He kissed me."
Su Su frowned. The "he" she said was Ike. It was very uncomfortable to hold back the things in Xiaocao, so she told Su Su everything, hoping that she could solve her doubts. Therefore, Su Su knew a lot about Xiaocao, including Ike.
"I'm still swollen when I was kissed? Tell the truth to my sister-in-law!" Su Su said with concern, "Hurry up!"
Xiaocao lowered her head and told Susu everything that happened yesterday. At first she was still angry, but Ike didn't understand why she was sympathetic. Even if he had resentment towards Saigon, how could he blame Xiaocao in one breath? But later she didn't think so. Instead, she thought Ike was so brave.
"I know things can't go as smooth as I imagined, but I'm still trying hard to find change. Since he doesn't let me do that, I won't do it." Xiaocao smiled inadvertently.
"Haha, I smiled happily!" Su Su said, pointing to the shy grass.
"Sister-in-law, you laugh at me! You ignore you!" Xiaocao ran away pretending to be angry.
Tucker came out of the room and saw the little grass with red faces. He asked, "What's wrong with the little grass?"
"The love first blooms, my heart is dark, and the willows and flowers are bright. Although they have not blossomed and bear fruit, they are already satisfied." Su Su said in a divine manner.
Tucker understood what his wife wanted to express in a tacit understanding, and then pretended to be talking to himself: "Oh, Susu, do you know? Yesterday I passed by Xicheng. There was an alley there, and there was an ancient shop in the alley. I heard that there was a rogue old man there who bought high-quality goods. I don't know what you need, so I'll go and see for you."
Su Su immediately understood what her husband wanted to say, so she acted and said, "I just want you to go out for a day with me. I just hope that if someone goes out, lock the door of the house."
Xiaocao naturally listened to it. Since Ike promised to be her friend, she could give Ike some small things to express.
So Xiaocao pretended not to hear that she came out to have dinner with Tucker and his wife, and after that, she returned to the room. After confirming that Tucker and Susu really left, Xiaocao changed her clothes and went out in a good mood.
Tucker's home is in Nancheng, and when you go to Xicheng, you only need to know that the road is not far away, because the emperors are well-connected. Of course, if you are a fool, you can go a long way.
Xiaocao asked a little and found that the alley was not very difficult to find, and the shop was opened at the end of the alley. The owner was a thin man like a mummy, bald, his eyes were deep, and he looked like a monster.
His palms were like dead branches, and his fingers were almost as thin as the roots. When he saw the grass, he asked in a sharp voice: "I must be buying things here. I will only ask you what you buy."
Xiaocao was very scared, but she still plucked up the courage to ask, "Grandpa, what do you have here?"
"Whatever you want is probably what you have here, it depends on whether you can say it." said the owner.
After verification, Xiaocao confirmed that the owner was indeed very strange as they said, but because of this, Xiaocao felt that his store was full of rare treasures.
"My friend is now at the ninth level of the Qi Control Master. He will compete tomorrow. He will participate in the exchange meeting of the Empire State Palace. Do you have any pills to directly promote him to the Qi Gathering Master?" Xiaocao asked with a lucky mentality.
That's what she said, the old man said whatever he wanted, and he would not suffer any loss after saying it. Maybe he was just treated as a silly girl.
"Yes!" the shop owner said this word calmly.
"Really! How much does it cost!" Xiaocao was extremely excited, hoping that he could deliver this pill to Ike immediately.
The shop owner looked at Xiaocao and smiled and said, "I must abide by my rules here."
Xiaocao was stunned and immediately felt something was wrong. He asked weakly: "Your rule is..."
"Switch your heart!" The owner then began to get a little excited, "Then your most precious thing comes out to replace it, even if it is just a piece of paper, that's OK. The treasure in my palm will show whether it is your beloved thing."
Xiaocao began to hesitate. If she wanted to get this thing, she needed to exchange it for something she loved. But when Ike's opponents tomorrow, all the Qi Gathering Masters, she naturally knew the information she had investigated for Ike.
She gritted her teeth, took out a box from the storage box, and said, "This is the earrings my father brought back during his first battle. He always told others that this pair of earrings will be given to his daughter in the future, that is, me. This is my favorite and best jewelry, and it is also my only longing for my father."
"She didn't lie!" At this time, a cat stone statue in front of the counter spoke.
The owner said excitedly: "Not bad! You were the first to tell me the truth this month. Then I will give you the elixir and allow you to exchange things like you for something that others love."
"I just need elixirs!" Xiaocao didn't want others to lose their beloved things, and then exchanged them for their earrings.
She opened the box reluctantly, looked at the earrings lying quietly inside the box, and said excitedly: "Then go!"
"Are you sure you want to use such a precious treasure to exchange for this pill that can only be promoted to Qi Gathering Master? You can choose a pill that will advance to Qi Ling King at the ninth level of Qi Gathering Master, the most precious thing here." The owner asked.
"No, the distance cannot quench the near thirst. He will have a competition tomorrow. Let's talk about what happened in the future." Xiaocao grabbed the owner's pill, turned around and ran back.
The shop owner looked at the earrings in his hand and grinned, "It's interesting."
