Chapter 096: Accompany Us Shopping

"Old Jiao, apart from being a cultivation space, does this jade pendant have any other uses?" Lin Yi thought of the jade pendant's functions such as predicting good or bad fortune, and figured that Jiao Yazi, being the person inside the jade pendant, should know something about it, right?

"Yes." Jiao Yazi nodded affirmatively.

"What other functions does it have?" Lin Yi was delighted, thinking that Jiao Yazi indeed knew, and quickly asked.

"But I don't know the specific functions." Jiao Yazi shook his head: "This was personally modified by my senior master. I haven't worn it, so how would I know? Once you can open the stone door behind, there should be specific instructions inside, right?"

"Should be?" Lin Yi asked uncertainly.

"I haven't been inside the stone door, so how would I know?" Jiao Yazi had a look of "don't ask me, I don't know."

"Alright..." Lin Yi was somewhat disappointed, but only for a moment. He had already gained a lot today. He just hoped it wasn't all a dream...

When Lin Yi woke up, it was already bright outside... It seemed to be around 10 o'clock in the morning. He had slept for a long time! Lin Yi couldn't help but stretch and sit up from the bed.

"Wait..." Lin Yi suddenly remembered his dream from last night! The Jiao Yazi in the dream and the cultivation space!

Lin Yi subconsciously touched his body. In the dream, his clothes had all turned into fragments when he broke through the first level of the Xuanyuan Dragon Slaying Technique.

However, when Lin Yi touched his intact pajamas, his heart sank. Could it have just been a dream? Thinking of this, Lin Yi couldn't help but feel disappointed.

Originally, he thought that after finally breaking through, he could welcome the five-year period and smoothly open the stone door... But was all of this just a dream?

"Boy, in the jade pendant, you only entered a virtual cultivation space mentally. Your clothes outside naturally wouldn't be damaged!"

Suddenly, a voice sounded in Lin Yi's mind, startling him! But then Lin Yi was overjoyed! It was Jiao Yazi, Jiao Yazi's voice!

"Old Jiao, is that you?" Lin Yi asked subconsciously.

"Of course, it's me," Jiao Yazi said: "When you communicate with me, just use your thoughts, no need to speak out loud."

"Can I do that? Old Jiao, can you hear me?" Lin Yi spoke in his mind to Jiao Yazi.

"Yes." Jiao Yazi answered straightforwardly.

"Old Jiao, since you can communicate with me through thoughts, why didn't you remind me earlier to enter the cultivation space in the jade pendant?" Lin Yi asked curiously.

"Before you entered the cultivation space in the jade pendant, I couldn't establish a mental connection with you." Jiao Lao snorted: "Only after you enter the cultivation space does your mind connect with it. Don't you think the jade pendant is still hanging on your body?"

"Is it not?" Lin Yi was startled and subconsciously touched his chest, but found nothing! The jade pendant that had hung on his chest was now gone! "Where is the jade pendant? Old Jiao?"

Hearing Lin Yi's anxious voice, Jiao Lao couldn't help but feel a bit smug: "The jade pendant has established a connection with you and has now merged into your body. The jade pendant has completed the process of recognizing its master and won't be easily taken away. So, under normal circumstances, it is hidden in your body, but you can also summon it with your mind."

"Oh?" Lin Yi was surprised, not expecting the jade pendant to have a recognition function! Following Jiao Lao's words, Lin Yi used his thoughts to summon the jade pendant, making it reappear on his chest.

Soon, Lin Yi felt the jade pendant he had worn for nearly ten years on his chest and sighed in relief, then let the jade pendant return to his body. This was good; he no longer had to worry about losing the jade pendant.

Previously, after obtaining the jade pendant, although Lin Yi hadn't made a fuss, the jade pendant didn't look particularly impressive, but he was still afraid it might be stolen. Now, Lin Yi could finally put this worry aside.

Thinking that everything from last night wasn't a dream, Lin Yi felt exceptionally good, especially after successfully breaking through the first level of the Xuanyuan Dragon Slaying Technique, which made him even happier.

After getting up, Lin Yi quickly washed up and left the room. He saw that Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu were already awake, sitting on the sofa watching an animated show.

Seeing Lin Yi come out of the room, Chu Mengyao just glanced at him, thinking of yesterday's events, wanting to say something but not knowing what to say, so she just moved her gaze back to the animated show.

Chen Yushu, on the other hand, seeing Lin Yi come out, her eyes twinkled and she waved at Lin Yi: "Arrow Brother, will you accompany Yushu and Mengyao shopping later?"

"Me?" Lin Yi was taken aback, pointing to himself.

"Yes, help us carry the bags." Chen Yushu nodded.

"Can I not go?" Lin Yi smiled bitterly, carrying bags? This job didn't seem too good!

"Cough, cough! Tissue—" Chen Yushu pretended to cough and said slyly to Lin Yi.

"Uh..." Lin Yi was furious, thinking this girl was treating it like a job? Mentioning it every day? Would it ever end?

"Xiao Shu, why are you coughing? Are you catching a cold?" Chu Mengyao, hearing Chen Yushu cough and asking for a tissue, quickly handed her the tissue box from the coffee table.

"Ah?" Chen Yushu was taken aback, realizing Chu Mengyao had misunderstood, stuck out her tongue, and took a tissue, pretending to cough again.

Lin Yi found it amusing, shook his head, and went back to the room to change clothes. No matter what, before Chu Pengzhan gave him the task, the only thing he could do was to continue staying with Chu Mengyao. Since she was going shopping, he would naturally go with her.

When Lin Yi came out after changing, Uncle Fu had just delivered breakfast, which was a bowl of century egg and lean meat porridge cooked by the hotel's chef, along with a few exquisite pickles.

Lin Yi helped Uncle Fu set the breakfast on the table, and Uncle Fu left with the dinner tray from last night. Chu Mengyao and Chen Yushu turned off the TV and came to the dining room to eat.

Seeing Lin Yi about to leave, Chu Mengyao pursed her lips, wanting to call him to eat together, but she was too reserved to speak.

"Arrow Brother, let's eat together? After eating, we still have to go shopping, no time to wait for you to eat by yourself!" Chen Yushu called out to Lin Yi before Chu Mengyao could speak.

Sigh! Chu Mengyao was a bit annoyed. How did Xiao Shu get ahead of her? She had wanted to take the initiative to be friendly because of yesterday's events, but... in the end, she didn't get a chance to speak... Well, this is fine. She was Lin Yi's employer, paying him a salary. Why should she be the one to be friendly? He should be the one to be friendly to her!

Thinking of this, Chu Mengyao felt a bit more at ease.
