Mingyan was out practicing with her human friends, usually that would be annoying to the easily jealous Sha Hualing, but today it’s actually working out in her favor; No Mingyan means no one to guard the head disciple room in Xian Shu!
The plan is simple, and beyond easy for a talented demon saintess such as herself to execute. Step one: get into her room, Step two: find that fancy perfume she doesn’t let Sha Hualing borrow, Step three: profit. Luckily for her, her beloved nemesis and girlfriend is as predictable as ever, leaving the bottle right atop her vanity. No matter how intelligent and attractive, a human is still a human she supposed.
She walked right up to snatch the perfume bottle, only to feel a faint tase going through her body, not enough to hurt her but certainly enough to shock her into dropping the bottle and letting it roll onto the floor. as it moved, it revealed the hidden tailsmen stuck on its bottom.
“Demon repellent?! That damned—!”
“Ah, I thought I heard a little thief sneaking around” The traitor appeared in the doorway with the audacity to look annoyed under that veil! As if she didn’t dare electrocute —well, lightly zap— an esteemed demon noble! How brazen!
“Mingyan is mean and stingy! Are humans so against sharing?!” Sha Hualing complained, and did not pout because she’s a feared and dangerous demon.
“Ling-er is welcome to use any other product I owns, but this one cost half of my allowance and I noticed her attempting to use it on every minor occasion—“
“Hey! I have to look and smell good for my daily spars! How else am I meant to bask in my victorious glow?!”
“—point is, if Ling-er wants to use that much of it, she should get her own. this one’s funds aren’t as limitless as the Sha clan’s”
“ughhhhh,” Sha Hualing groaned “This Ling-er tried! Really tried! But human merchants just refuse to sell me anything!”
“They refuse?” Liu Mingyan’s eyebrows shoot up, if such a high demon official is being denied so openly, then this might stir up trouble for the peace treaties Cang Qiong has been able to establish with the demon realm, why hasn’t she brought this up sooner? Sha Hualing huffed
“Yeah! And I offered them two hundred of my clan’s native blood-red pomes, fifty trained bone eagles, and even some of my rarest weapons!”
Ah. Liu Mingyan saw the problem now. “Dearest, you must know that you’re meant to use coins here”
“Huh?” The saintess blinked “You can’t do anything with coins! Wouldn’t they be at a loss?”
“That’s not…” Liu Mingyan sighed “How about we go trade An Ding your red-blood apples—“
“—For some coins? Then you can buy all the perfume you’d like”
Immediately, Sha Hualing’s attitude did a 180 “Mingyan would do that for me? Mingyan’s so kind! Mingyan’s the best!”
So quick to change emotions… It’s a little amusing to see. What was that saying again, happy wife, happy life?
