--- Chapter 81 ---

[Name: Life Gold]

[Type: Material]

[Grade: Epic]

[Description: Life Gold is a special kind of metal, this particular mineral is hard to find because it's so rare and doesn't belong to this world, which also surprisingly possesses life, but doesn't possess intelligence]

Even though the rock in Yunlong's hand is not that big because it's only the size of a softball. It's clearly radiating with dim vitality, which really surprised him since he didn't expect to find something like this.

'But, what should I do with this?' Yunlong became slightly confused because he can do many things with this metal.

'Well, I can think about it later. Let's enjoy the walk first.' He continued while putting the rock into his inventory, which is the safest place to store such an essential item.

Yu Ning'er stared at Yunlong with a confused expression for a moment and decided to brush it off since it should be fine for her young master to show his sympathy to someone.

'As expected of my young master.' Yu Ning'er thought with a sweet smile on her face, which made Bai Xue stare at her with a weird expression.

"Are you sick?" Bai Xue bluntly asked, which made Yu Ning'er frown at her.

"I'm not..!" Yu Ning'er instantly replied, to which Bai Xue responded with a nod.

"You have become an idiot then. After all, you're smiling like a fool a few seconds ago." Bai Xue stated while swaying her head away, which made Yu Ning'er quiet for some reason.

Yu Ning'er can't deny that, but she felt really insulted by Bai Xue's sharp words because she just adored Yunlong in her head, which made her very annoyed at the red-haired maid.

"Hmph, it's better than becoming an anti-social bookworm!" Yu Ning'er sneered, which successfully hit Bai Xue's nerves.

"Huh?! Don't insult my book!" Bai Xue sharply looked back at Yu Ning'er, who stared at her with a smirk on her face.

"What, Wanna fight? I welcome you every time, apple head." Yu Ning'er stated while making a white spear appear in her hand.

"Sure, let's fight, sparky rat." Bai Xue responded in the same manner and called her broom.

They about to lunge their attacks, but Chu Xiaoyu immediately froze them by hitting them on the head, making two of them tremble in colds.

"W-What are you doing that..." Bai Xue and Yu Ning'er looked at Chu Xiaoyu, who quietly stared at them with a pair of cold eyes.

"Behave..." Chu Xiaoyu quietly stated while pointing her finger around, which made them realize that they're still in public.

Yunlong shook his head and chuckled a little while looking at this scene. "If you two could get along, I will give one gift for each of you." He said.

"Combined with previous items that I bought, you would get two gifts from me." He continued, which made the maid's eyes shine.

"Truce." Yu Ning'er said while looking at Bai Xue, who nodded her head in agreement.

They continued their walk around the city, which is very enjoyable, and sometimes Yunlong would buy street foods and eat them with his maids.

After a few hours of walking, they stopped near a beautiful small lake surrounded by stone fences. "Let's take a rest here," Yunlong said while staring at the lake, which reminded him of something.

'Wait, Didn't Zhu Zhuqing meet Dai Mubai near a lake surrounded by flower fields?' Yunlong suddenly remembered a few details in the novel.

He thought about it for a moment because he's also considering how much this world has changed after being influenced by his presence, making it very unpredictable.

Yunlong took a gaze to the lake and released a slight sigh. "Maybe I should start becoming more aggressive with my approach." He said while shifting his gaze to his maids.

Unknown to them, the time really passed quickly because the sun has turned slightly orange, indicating that it's already sunset. "Let's go back to the base," Yunlong said, to which his maids responded with a nod.

They walked back to the north district at a fast speed, and as soon they arrived at the building, Yunlong took a few items from his inventory and gave them to his maids.

"It's the gifts. I hope you three are happy with them." Yunlong smiled at them and walked inside toward his room, which is on the second floor.

As Yunlong went away, the maids looked at their hands with a glistening pair of eyes.

Chu Xiaoyu got a pair of earrings with blue gemstone embedded in them and a book about sword techniques, which made her eyes glow for a moment.

'He knows...' Chu Xiaoyu thought while raising her gaze to the second floor.

Even though Chu Xiaoyu is proud of her sword technique, she knows it wasn't enough to reach her goal. She has observed Yunlong's sword technique to increase her strength, but it is literally pointless because she can only learn a small part of them.

'I want to create my own, but...' She looked at the book and carefully placed it in her embrace.

Meanwhile, Yu Ning'er got a necklace with oval yellow gemstone and a book about lightning and thunder manipulation, which made her really grateful because she really needs this technique.

'With this, I don't have a problem with rampant thunder inside of my body.' Yu Ning'er softly giggled while thinking about Yunlong's kindness to her.

As for the red-haired maid, Bai Xue literally got a bracelet with red gemstone embedded into it and a book about pill recipes, which made her really excited. She can't wait to make them in her room.

The three maids looked at the second-floor room and bowed their bodies. "Thank you, young master." They said with gratitude.

'You're welcome.' Yunlong's voice entered their heads.

Yunlong was sitting on a chair in his room when replying to his maid. He stared at the sunset through the window, which looked really beautiful and really caught his attention.

He imagined something for a moment and grinned afterward, 'Well since I had the clues. I only have to find that girl now.' Yunlong thought.
