Rebirth of the Ninth Princess

Thanks to Ouyang Qingcheng holding her, Yuanjiu now had a better view of the higher shelves and was instantly drawn to something else.

"Daddy, what's that?"

The shopkeeper was about to explain but realized the harmonious interaction between the two of them left no room for him to interject.

He silently stood to the side.

"That's a spatial scroll. Even those people without space-type abilities can use it to teleport. This particular scroll has a range of over a hundred meters," Ouyang Qingcheng explained.

Would a little child really understand such a complicated explanation?

Not just Cailun, but the shopkeeper and the eavesdroppers who were straining to overhear the conversation were all deeply puzzled.

This only made them find Yuanjiu even more adorable.

Yuanjiu's gaze soon shifted to other items.

Rather than shopping, it seemed more like she was here on a sightseeing tour, as so many things in this world were completely new to her.

As a result, even after half an hour, they were still in the same shop.

The shopkeeper's face gradually darkened, but he didn't dare say anything.

To him, this child was clearly here to cause trouble.

Yuanjiu looked curiously at the shopkeeper's increasingly sour expression.

"Daddy, what's wrong with him?"

Ouyang Qingcheng cast a cold glance at the shopkeeper and gestured to Cailun.

Cailun immediately pulled out five gold coins from his spatial ring—an amount worth over ten times the value of the testing stone Yuanjiu had picked out.

"My darling, don't mind him." Ouyang Qingcheng strode toward the door as he mocked, "He's upset because we only browsed and didn't buy much. People like this are called opportunists. They prioritize profit above all else and aren't worth befriending. You'll meet more people like this in the future. When you do, be cautious and don't trust them. However, if you need to use them, that's a different matter. If handled properly, they can become very useful tools."

Cailun who is trailing behind, broke into a cold sweat.

Your Majesty, is this really how you should be teaching a child?

This is bad…

This child is going to be ruined in your hands…

Yuanjiu, however, obediently nodded her head.

"My darling, are you hungry?" Ouyang Qingcheng asked.

Yuanjiu nodded, and the three of them crossed the street to the Fairywood Restaurant, the largest dining establishment in the imperial city.

The attendants who are dressed cleanly greeted them at the entrance.

Upon spotting the green dragon jade pendant on Ouyang Qingcheng's waist, the attendant's demeanor became even more respectful.

Ouyang Qingcheng took out a crystal engraved with the word "Confidential" and handed it to one of the attendants. "Deliver this personally to your senior owner."

The Fairywood Restaurant had two owners.

The senior owner typically worked behind the scenes and rarely appeared, while the junior owner managed external affairs.

Meanwhile, Cailun instructed another attendant, "Prepare a private—"

"The second floor will suffice," Ouyang Qingcheng interrupted, clearly having his own plans.

The Fairywood Restaurant had four floors.
