The flood crisis in the beast world had been resolved, with all the accumulated water diverted by her to the Great Li Dynasty.
Zhi had given her three ginseng roots as thick as a baby's arm and seven lingzhi mushrooms as large as a washbasin.
She was truly stunned.
In their beast world, were these things sold in bulk?
She had no idea how many years old the baby-arm-thick ginseng roots were, but the washbasin-sized lingzhi mushrooms were even more exaggerated. And it wasn't just one lingzhi—it was a whole cluster.
After a moment's thought, she stored the lingzhi and ginseng in her space, but sold the armor and halberd of the Pacifying General to Gu Changye.
Gu Changye was overjoyed. Last time, he had flipped the items for a profit of five million.
Doing business with this matriarch brought in big money.
After examining today's armor and halberd, he directly offered thirty million.
He felt he could make ten million off this deal.
Shen Yunyun pocketed the thirty million, feeling delighted.
Lin Mengxing's house was also fully renovated, and after a professional inspection, she moved in.
Lin Mengxing invited Shen Yunyun to her place for a meal. When she arrived, she realized Lin Mengxing had also invited Tang Yu and Gu Changye.
Tang Yu looked much thinner.
Shen Yunyun looked at him with confusion: "Tang Yu, why have you lost so much weight?"
Tang Yu touched his face: "Have I? I hadn't noticed, hehe..."
Gu Changye winked at Shen Yunyun.
She had no rapport with him and rolled her eyes, asking with concern: "Xiao Yu, you're not upset over Wei Lingling, are you?"
"How could that be? She's a corporate spy—why would I be upset? I'm thrilled to have exposed her. How could I be sad? Am I the kind of guy who lacks women? I just have to wave my hand, and plenty of women come running. What's Wei Lingling to me?"
Shen Yunyun: "..."
He'd be better off not explaining. The more he did, the more it sounded like denial, and denial was just confirmation.
Shen Yunyun felt a mix of frustration and disappointment. How could she have such an embarrassing descendant?
Wasn't this a textbook case of a lovesick fool?
At least he hadn't done anything shameful, like running off to bring Wei Lingling back. Otherwise, she couldn't guarantee she wouldn't do something drastic.
She wanted to scold him, but remembered today was Lin Mengxing's housewarming—a happy occasion not to be spoiled.
So she forcefully changed the subject: "What gifts did you all bring?"
Tang Yu pulled out a thick red envelope.
Gu Changye produced a jewelry box.
Shen Yunyun quietly put away the large pearl she had intended to give and also wrapped a thick red envelope.
"I think the feng shui of Yaxia Village is pretty good. I'd like to buy a house here too, renovate it, and come stay occasionally."
Shen Yunyun immediately looked at Tang Yu and said, "How about I buy one for you?"
Gu Changye glanced between Shen Yunyun and Tang Yu with curiosity.
Something was going on between those two.
Lin Mengxing, however, could clearly see that their relationship wasn't romantic—they interacted more like siblings.
When Tang Yu heard that Shen Yunyun wanted to buy him a house, he eagerly asked, "Really?"
"Yeah, really. We'll design a unique little courtyard too. If there's ever an urban village renovation project, our houses won't have to be demolished. Instead of waiting for others to tear them down, we might as well renovate the area ourselves, turn it into a viral social media spot, and then the authorities won't even think about demolition."
"So we pool our money for it?" Gu Changye asked uncertainly.
Lin Mengxing replied weakly, "I don't have that much money right now."
"I can lend it to you," Gu Changye quickly offered, his intentions all too obvious. How could Lin Mengxing not see through it?
