Bai Junjun noticed that Li Wenli couldn’t walk any further, and following his gaze, she saw a small stall covered with fancy ornamental hairpins and hair clasp.
Bai Junjun felt somewhat surprised.
She hadn’t expected that Li Wenli would actually like such feminine things, but if he truly liked them, it wasn’t impossible to buy.
Just as Bai Junjun was about to pay, Li Wenli placed a hand on her, "They’re not for me, they’re for you."
"Me?" Bai Junjun looked again at those flowery and birdy hair clasp, shaking her head, "These are just too much of a hassle."
"But for a girl, it’s not so good to always be mistaken for a boy."
On this journey, other than the physician who could distinguish between genders, how many people had thought of her as an indistinguishable little brother?
"So what," said Bai Junjun indifferently, "What difference does it make to me if others think I am a man or a woman, I’m not going to lose a piece of flesh over it. Besides, these flashy things are all show and no substance, I’d lose them in no time."
The implication was clear, they weren’t as substantial as a piece of flesh.
Saying this, the young mistress strode off vigorously.
Li Wenli glanced at those hair ornaments, they did indeed seem a bit too flamboyant.
He shook his head and followed after the young mistress.
"..." Hair ornament stall owner: You guys are the weird ones, country bumpkins!
After touring the entire market, the group finally returned to Dongsheng Tavern.
Seeing the group return with big and small packages, Ah Fu and Ah Gui couldn’t help but smile.
"We prepared some drinks earlier thinking of inviting you to dine together, but when we went to the courtyard, not a single person was to be found."
"We never imagined you had already gone out for fun. Have you all eaten yet?"
"Mhm, we ate very well," Li Wenli nodded with a smile.
"That’s good, there will be a river lantern festival tonight; it’s said that making wishes with the river lanterns is especially auspicious. Let’s go together."
"No problem, let’s go have an eye-opener in the evening."
Everybody agreed and then walked towards the private courtyard.
It was roughly three o’clock now, and the group planned to take a nap, rest up, and then go release river lanterns.
Bai Junjun quite liked the high bed with soft pillows.
In her sleep, she felt the second leaf slowly unfold from its half-curled state, turning from light green to deep green. Once this leaf had completely grown, a small pointed sprout emerged next to it.
It was the third leaf, quietly forming bubbles.
This nap was particularly satisfying for her. When she opened her eyes, Bai Junjun hurried into the Qi Sea to investigate, and she found that the second leaf had indeed grown!
So it wasn’t a dream after all!
She had actually advanced in rank while sleeping!
She wasn’t sure if it was thanks to the Water of Flora from the Space she had drunk or perhaps the ample rest these days.
In any case, she had truly advanced to Second Order.
With Second Order Special Ability, she could do much more than before.
At the very least, facilitating rapid sprouting and growth of a wheat field was no issue, and extracting the Water of Flora or dealing with enemies was even more manageable.
Bai Junjun seemingly gained her Special Ability out of nowhere and felt refreshingly clear-headed.
When she came out, the sky had darkened, but Li Wenli and Bai Lingyu had not woken up yet. Except for the doors of their rooms, which were closed, everyone else was up.
At this moment, as a semi-landlord, Ah Fu and Ah Gui had already prepared the food and drink, just waiting for Bai Junjun and the others to join the banquet.
However, Li Wenli was not a morning person, and the Seven-Person Team didn’t dare to knock on the door, waiting in the courtyard for the young master to wake up naturally.
Bai Junjun was unaware of this. Seeing that everyone was waiting and it was getting late, she went straight into the Fox’s room.
She walked around the screen and entered the room, and couldn’t help but laugh at the scene before her.
