Chapter 445: Chapter 445 Flower Shop Chapter 445: Chapter 445 Flower Shop Xiao Taohong pointed into the sea of flowers, saying, “Master, look, this is the Golden Acacia, and next to it is the June Snow. These flowers are all quite valuable. There are also Peonies, Orchids, and others.”
Xuexue nodded; she was quite familiar with Peonies and Orchids, having seen plenty of them in the Imperial Palace in her previous life. The Noble Consorts were particularly fond of Peonies and Orchids; good ones could sell for tens of thousands of taels of silver.
“So Master, having these flowers means you have a Cornucopia, with endless wealth inside. You were even thinking of going to practice martial arts and trampling over them, aren’t you silly?”
“That’s right, I’m lucky Xiao Taohong reminded me,” Xuexue said with a smiling eye.
“Of course, don’t let my small size fool you; I’m actually much older than you and have seen much more,” Xiao Taohong, with the appearance of a five or six-year-old, now put on an air of maturity, which was particularly comical and funny.
She had died at the age of five or six and had been dead for over a decade or two; her actual age was indeed more than twenty, much older than Xuexue.
“Alright, this young lady has been instructed,” Xuexue said, bowing austerely to her.
“Hmm, even a blockhead can be carved into something.”
With her hands on her smooth chin, Xiao Taohong pretended to be an old man, nodding her head and wagging her brain, speaking in a strange and amusing voice.
Xuexue was instantly amused, thinking to herself, what a fun little girl.
After fooling around for a while and having had enough jokes, they did another round in the sea of flowers, checking many varieties. Xuexue now knew the extent of what they had; not just opening a small flower shop, but even dozens would be more than covered with the varieties here.
“Master, the Spiritual Energy inside the space is particularly abundant. I have practiced for a while, and I feel like my cultivation is on par with a hundred-year-old Old Ghost. In some time, I will be able to go out during the day to protect you, Master.”
Xuexue was overjoyed, thinking it was as if heaven was helping her. In less than a year, she would return to the Capital. With Xiao Taohong by her side, she felt that she could solve any problem.
“Then you must hurry up and cultivate.”
They were bound by a Blood Covenant, and Xuexue’s thoughts were somewhat known to her; “Master, don’t worry, I will definitely not let you down.”
Big Bull was lying on the flowerbed in the space, nearly asleep when their conversation ended.
“Big Bull, get up, we’re going out,” Xuexue urged, shaking him.
“Eh? My lady, are you finally done talking?” Big Bull sat up groggily, rubbing his eyes with his hands.
Being naturally handsome, his drowsy, adorable appearance left Xuexue dumbstruck.
“My lady, what’s wrong?” Big Bull asked curiously, seeing Xuexue staring blankly at him without saying a word.
Xuexue turned away with a flushed face, feeling somewhat contemptuous of herself, thinking that she was being too weak, being so mesmerized by a man.
“Have you finished talking with Xiao Taohong?”
“We’ve finished talking. I’m also quite familiar with many of the flower species now. Let’s go out and sleep.”
As they spoke, Big Bull naturally took Xuexue’s hand in his own.
Xuexue’s heart skipped a beat again; she found her feelings for Big Bull growing deeper. It felt increasingly strange and unlike her. She had never felt this way, not even towards Zhang Ruixuan in her previous life.
That night, after she returned to her room, she dug out the pen and paper she had bought before, ready to write a business plan for the shop.
She had hidden the pen and paper well after purchasing them, so as not to let Madam Xie find them. In her previous life, she couldn’t read or write at this time, so she couldn’t afford to raise suspicion.
