Pampered By All In Different Planes

"Recently, I received news that the Second Prince of the Demon World has established a stronghold in the Mortal World under the pretext of preaching. He's creating puppets to consume people's essence and cause disaster in the Human World," Changqi unfolded a scroll that he had in his hand, which listed various crimes of the Demon World.

"What should I do?" Su Zhiruan returned the scroll to him, "I've also been cultivating properly recently. I can be of help when it's crucial."

"Just stay by my side, and if we encounter danger, run away. Do not try to be brave," Changqi saw her eagerness and thus earnestly instructed her.

After saying that, he took a bracelet out of his Qiankun Sleeve, "Give me your hand."

Su Zhiruan obediently stretched out her hand, and then, she watched as the exquisitely transparent green bracelet was placed on her wrist.

Her skin was pale, her wrists slender. Wearing the bracelet made her wrist look even more delicate. Su Zhiruan raised her hand and gave it a shake, "It's a bit big."

"Don't move around. I'll do it," Changqi held her wrist. The snow-white skin was overlayed with flesh, and even the blue vessels could be seen. When Su Zhiruan's wrist was completely in his palm, the sensations of cold and warmth alternated, and he tightened his grip slightly.

Accompanied by the warm white light emanating from Changqi's palm, the bracelet indeed began to shrink circle by circle until it fit just right around Su Zhiruan's wrist.

"In dire circumstances, the Linglong Nine-Turn Bracelet will protect its owner and block a fatal blow," Changqi explained to her, "Wear it well and do not take it off."

Su Zhiruan hadn't expected the ordinary-looking bracelet to actually be a Magic Artifact!

"Thank you, Your Grace!" She immediately got up and gave her thanks. Such a treasure could even be considered as having an extra life. Changqi didn't even blink as he gave it to her, and Su Zhiruan stared at it for a good while.

The bracelet's exterior was just an ordinary jade one, but now that it recognized Su Zhiruan as its master, she could see the unusual phenomenon that others could not—the green within the bracelet flowed continuously, as though it had its own life, spinning endlessly.

"Alright, it's time for us to go," Changqi stood up, his sleeve motion disrupted the barrier, and he pushed open the door, "I have a place in the Mortal World where I have not been for a long time. Shall we go have a look?"

The two of them left the private room one after the other, but at the staircase, they saw the Shopkeeper and waiter rubbing their hands and talking about something.

Upon seeing Su Zhiruan and Changqi come out, the waiter immediately covered his mouth and whispered to the Shopkeeper, "Shopkeeper, it's them! Two Spirit Stones! I saw them clearly just now!"

The Shopkeeper's hand-rubbing motion stopped immediately, his expression changing to one of anticipation and excitement, "Having the honor of hosting two esteemed guests brings glory to our humble establishment."

You two must be husband and wife! Oh, what a perfect match, a talented man and a beautiful lady, truly made for each other," the Shopkeeper spoke eloquently, his flattery flowing endlessly like it cost him nothing.

"We are newlyweds," Changqi nodded in agreement, then took out two Spirit Stones from his pocket and tossed them to the Shopkeeper, "Well said, here's a reward."

Su Zhiruan followed behind him, observing the Shopkeeper and the waiter, as well as the shocked diners in the establishment, who were all frozen in place, chopsticks still hanging in mid-air.

She thought to herself bemusedly.

Who would have thought that the Divine Monarch Changqi would utter such domineering words.

The Shopkeeper gazed at the Spirit Stones in his hand as if he had never seen anything like them in his lifetime.

Su Zhiruan thought of the vaults in Changqi Divine Palace, with one entire room filled with top-grade Spirit Stones, each rounded and plump.

And there was another vault in Changqi Palace piled up like a small hill with top-grade Spirit Stones.

Changqi even had seventy-three such veins.

Top-grade, Mid-grade, and even Low-grade Spirit Stones would be considered a nuisance as clutter in Changqi Palace.

It was also Su Zhiruan who had brought some Low-grade Spirit Stones when she came, barely usable in the Mortal World. If they had brought out top-grade Spirit Stones, they might have already been sent off to an auction by now.

"Esteemed guests, may you have a union as precious as gold and jade, a harmonious marriage, and happiness that lasts from now until your hair turns white with age!" The Shopkeeper, seeing the two Spirit Stones, was visibly elated; he had never seen a young master spend so lavishly and wished he could properly revere them.

"Husband... let us be on our way, it's time to go home," Su Zhiruan stood by Changqi's side, extended her arm, and gently shook Changqi's.

Changqi put his arm around her from behind, "Whatever Madam says."

...

This simple interlude quickly spread throughout the town.

Inns and taverns are the breeding grounds and transmission hubs for all kinds of rumors and gossip.

Moreover, the fact that a rich young master gave away two Spirit Stones just for a few flattering words was unprecedented in the entire city.

Even the wealthiest tycoons in town wouldn't be so extravagant as to give away so much.

The Shopkeeper's face was about to split with joy, and he hurriedly called for the waiter, "Quick, find the coachman, and have him take the young master and Young Madam back to the manor!"

The waiter promptly acknowledged and rushed off.

"No need," Changqi refused, "We are new here, and I would like to take my wife for a good stroll around. There's no need to arrange a carriage."

The Shopkeeper was now utterly respectful towards Changqi and Su Zhiruan; they wouldn't dare contradict whatever they said.

After Su Zhiruan and Changqi left the tavern, a burst of discussion erupted among the diners.

"Were you trying to make a show of strength in that manner just now?" Su Zhiruan, holding onto Changqi's arm, tilted her head to look at him, "It doesn't seem like your style."

Changqi ruffled her hair, "Yes, first let everyone in the city know of our presence. In the coming days, we won't rush into the Demon World. Whatever you want to play, I'll take you there."

"I'd like to try everything." Su Zhiruan pointed casually at the Five Poison Bracelet being sold by the street vendor, "That one looks good."

...

Ten seconds later...

The small vendor selling the Five Poison Bracelets looked at the whole Low-grade Spirit Stone in his hand, and at the young couple who had taken all the bracelets, completely dumbfounded.

And that was just the beginning.

Walking on the street, Su Zhiruan felt for the first time that she was acting like some sort of a local tyrant.

With a casual point of her finger, Changqi would buy it outright.

Even though she knew it was for show, she found this novel experience quite fascinating.

Eradicating the demons from the Demon World is not a simple affair.

The Demon World had taken root in the Mortal World for quite some time and even had many devoted followers among the populace. If they acted rashly to annihilate it, it would not only hurt public sentiment and harm the common people, but it might make the demons more cautious and elusive in the future.

Changqi's plan had been prepared from the moment they set foot in the Mortal World.

The sudden appearance of two deities in town would definitely attract unwanted attention, whereas a newlywed couple on their honeymoon was as normal as could be.

The city had beautiful scenery, with many famous historical sites, and had always been a popular destination for couples.

The appearance of a generous couple like Su Zhiruan and Changqi was indeed nothing out of the ordinary.

As they went on a shopping spree on the streets, by the time the sun set, Su Zhiruan started to feel a bit tired.
