Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 467: A Penny Thwarts a Hero

"Can’t do it?" Xia Mian smiled sweetly, looking just like the girl next door, harmless to humans and animals alike.

The boss snapped back to reality and quickly nodded, "I can do it!"

To be a sugar figure artisan and not have this basic skill, what’s the point of making sugar figures!

The boss started moving his hands, fearing that if he was a step slower, Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan might change their minds.

After all, things like this are usually only liked by ordinary people; cultivators in the Mystical World generally have little interest.

Watching the soft mass of syrup quickly take shape in the boss’s hands, aided by chopsticks and bamboo sticks, a sugar figure gradually gained distinct features.

Upon closer inspection, the features of this sugar figure bore a seven or eight tenths resemblance to Xia Mian.

Xia Mian raised an eyebrow, finding it quite interesting.

This artisan’s skill surpassed that of artisans in the current world by several degrees.

In less than ten minutes, the elderly artisan crafted a sugar figure.

"Miss, your sugar figure." The elderly man handed the sugar figure to Xia Mian.

Xia Mian took the sugar figure and held it up to her face, examining it carefully against the sunlight.

In the sunlight, the sugar figure was crystal clear, not only resembling Xia Mian in features but also in demeanor.

With satisfaction, Xia Mian nodded, only for Lu Zechuan to take the sugar figure from her hands the next moment, "This sugar figure is mine."

Xia Mian blinked and gave a slight smile but didn’t say anything.

Instead, she turned her head to watch the elderly man continue crafting sugar figures.

The elderly man’s hands were skillful; with the aid of chopsticks and bamboo sticks, he quickly shaped another human figure.

This time, the sugar figure resembled Lu Zechuan almost exactly.

"Miss, your sugar figure." The elderly man handed the sugar figure to Xia Mian again.

Xia Mian reached out to take the sugar figure.

The syrup shone brightly and was crystal clear; Xia Mian gazed at the miniature version of Lu Zechuan in her hand, eyes full of laughter.

"Old man, how much for these two sugar figures?" Xia Mian casually asked.

The elderly man held up two fingers, "Two copper coins."

Two...copper coins?!!

Xia Mian was momentarily stunned; isn’t this the Mystical World?

The Mystical World’s universal currency is spirit stones, isn’t it?

Why is this old man asking her for copper coins?!!

Under Xia Mian’s bewildered gaze, the elderly man gradually realized something was wrong, suspiciously asking, "Miss, you aren’t telling me you don’t have money to pay me, are you?"

The couple in front of him looked well-dressed, surely they could afford two copper coins!

Under the elderly man’s astonished gaze, Xia Mian’s expression became somewhat embarrassed.

She had millions of spirit stones and various bank cards in her pocket, but she had no copper coins.

Just as Xia Mian was looking troubled, a voice sounded from behind them, "I’ll pay for them."

Xia Mian turned around to see Song Ke smiling as he approached; on Song Ke’s shoulder perched an eagle.

The eagle lazily shook its feathers all over, occasionally using its beak to preen its molting feathers, striving to appear less bald.

"Mr. Song." Xia Mian was momentarily dazed, "What a coincidence."

Song Ke smiled and paid the two copper coins for Xia Mian, then cheerfully replied, "Miss Xia has lived in the Mystical World for a short time; in fact, many places in the Mystical World are similar to the world you live in now."

Xia Mian walked side by side with Lu Zechuan, holding the sugar figure, "Thanks to Mr. Song for stepping in; I’ll repay you the two copper coins later."

Song Ke quickly waved his hand, "No need, no need, just two copper coins, I wouldn’t even pick them up if I dropped them, how could I let Miss Xia remember to pay it back."

Xia Mian slightly smiled and didn’t say anything more.

But Song Ke opened up, "I heard that Miss Xia and Mr. Lu are about to get married, I wonder what gift Miss Xia would like, when the time comes, I’ll represent our Beast Clan with a grand gift for Miss Xia!"

Song Ke asked directly, leaving Xia Mian at a loss; can it work like this?

The gift-giver not knowing what to give directly running to ask the recipient, what do you want?

Lu Zechuan was also stunned, remembering what the Clan Leader of the Divine Clan had said before, that they wanted all the Mystical Sects to attend his and Xia Mian’s wedding.

So, has the Beast Clan already received the invitation?

"If you really want to give something, then give spirit stones. I’m poor." Xia Mian honestly said.

She wasn’t familiar with the rare items in the Mystical World, but she knew that spirit stones were the universal currency for cultivators.

As long as she had enough spirit stones, she could even buy the entire Mystical World.

Song Ke contemplated and replied, "Sure, I’ll make sure Miss Xia is satisfied!"

The eagle on Song Ke’s shoulder raised its head to glance at Xia Mian.

Ever since being forcefully contracted to Song Ke by Xia Mian, its eagle life had been completely different.

Song Ke’s talent was not extraordinary, but he was a second-generation!

His brother and father were outstanding, willing to spend money on him; as a result, Song Ke’s cultivation level unexpectedly rose!

As Song Ke’s spirit pet, as Song Ke’s cultivation increased, its cultivation could rise with him; with dedicated cultivation, its transformation was not far off.

Seemingly sensing the eagle’s gaze, Xia Mian slowly looked up and glanced at the eagle.

The eagle immediately shifted its gaze, remembering how Xia Mian had made the pirate gang cry for their parents in distress when it was right there...

"Miss Xia, I have other matters to attend to, so I won’t disturb you! On your wedding day, I’ll definitely be there!" Song Ke said, hastily leaving.

Lu Zechuan watched as Song Ke hurried away and slightly narrowed his eyes.

The Song Ke now seemed a bit different from the one he had met before.

"His cultivation has improved significantly." Xia Mian hit the mark.

"Yes! In the Mystical World, a person’s level of cultivation is one’s confidence." Lu Zechuan slowly said.

Cultivation in the Mystical World is as wealth is to people in the current world.

Xia Mian said nothing more, just looked intently at the sugar figure in her hand, "It really looks like you."

She couldn’t bring herself to eat the sugar figure she held.

Lu Zechuan chuckled, "This one looks a lot like you too."

He couldn’t bear to eat it either.

Xia Mian pursed her lips and straightforwardly used her spiritual power to wrap the two sugar figures, ensuring they wouldn’t melt due to changes in external temperature.

She herself didn’t expect that one day her cultivation would be used to preserve two sugar figures.

"If we’re unwilling to part, then let’s keep them!" Xia Mian said softly.

Honestly, she and Lu Zechuan were practically love at first sight, never having experienced a typical relationship process.

Hence, even the ordinary interactions between a man and woman seemed exceptionally sweet to Xia Mian.

Lu Zechuan acknowledged with a hum, and the two gradually walked away.

Soon, they vanished at the end of the street.

Meanwhile, the sugar figure stall owner stared at the two copper coins in his hand, unable to recover for a long time.

The man who tossed him the coins just now was Mr. Song’s brother, wasn’t he?

When did Mr. Song’s brother show such respect to others?

Could that couple’s status be even more noble than Mr. Song’s?
