The waiter was too much. Wunian looked at him and said, “Are you retarded? How can two ladies finish all this food? Fine then, tell me, is ten taels of silver enough?”

The waiter said slyly, “No more, no less, exactly ten taels.”

“Leave then, you unscrupulous merchant!”

“Alright.”

The dishes had all been served. Juxiang had never seen so much delicious food.

“Little Sister, we may actually be able to finish all the food!”

“No, Big Sister, eating too much at once is not good for your health. Go ahead and dig in! If you can’t finish it, I have a treasure bag which my master gave to me. We can take away the remaining food to eat tonight. That way we don’t waste it!”

“Really? Okay then.”

Having said that, the two sisters started eating. As expected, how could people who usually did not have enough to eat, suddenly eat a lot at once! Juxiang was full after eating a few mouthfuls of meat. Looking at the spread of dishes on the table only made her feel quite helpless!

Wunian had stopped eating grains when she started her cultivation. However, in order to make her sister happy today, she ate them as well.

She then took out a small bag the size of a purse. Juxiang said in surprise, “Can such a small bag hold so much?”

Wunian said confidently, “Big Sister, watch carefully.”

Wunian opened the mouth of the bag and said to the table, “Collect.”

Something magical happened immediately. All the dishes flew into the small bag.

Juxiang was so surprised that her mouth fell wide open. She couldn’t believe her eyes. “Is this a bag used by immortals? It’s amazing!”

Wunian put away the bag. “Let’s go. I’ll tell you all about it outside!”

When the waiter saw the two young ladies coming downstairs so soon, he quickly went up to them. “Are the both of you done eating?”

“I’m done eating! These ten taels are for the food. And this one tael…” The waiter thought that it was a tip. But unexpectedly…

“This one tael is for the plates.” The waiter was stunned. Did they eat the plates too?

No matter, one tael of silver was more than enough to cover those plates, so the shopkeeper did not object either.

After leaving the restaurant, Juxiang asked, “Where are we going now?”

“Back to Tianxia Village.”

“But it’s evening. There are no more ox carts.”

“Don’t worry, Big Sister. Come with me.”

The two of them left the county town. There were very few people around. Wunian waved her tiny hand gently and a huge bird appeared.

Juxiang was shocked into speechlessness again.

Wunian turned around and said to Juxiang, “Big Sister, let’s go.”

“Ah! I’m afraid!”

“Come, give me your hand.” Wunian held Juxiang’s hand and gave her a gentle tug. Juxiang slid onto the vulture’s back. Wunian also jumped on. The vulture let out a cry and took off into the air.

Juxiang asked, “Little Sister, what kind of master do you have? Is she immortal?”

Wunian replied, “Yes, my master is an immortal, and I learned immortal arts. Before my master died, she left her assets to me. Big Sister, I won’t hide it from you like how I hide it from everyone else, because you’re my only family.

“Don’t be surprised if I should use immortal techniques in your presence! Also, don’t be afraid in front of others. Now that you have a little sister who knows immortal techniques, you should be afraid of nobody! You have to be confident. You have a very capable little sister so we should fear nobody. Do you understand?”

“Yes, I understand! I have a sister who knows immortal techniques. I’m capable!”

“That’s right, my big sister is capable!”

“Here! Big Sister, tie this piece of jade around your neck. This string is a magic weapon. When you encounter danger, it will automatically sense the danger and release a protective layer to ensure that you don’t get injured. Other than protecting you from harm, this jade will still reflect harm so that it is reflected back twice as strong.”

Juxiang complied and tied it around her neck. The red string tightened on its own.

“Big Sister, this piece of jade cannot be removed unless you take the initiative to remove it. Remember not to be threatened by anyone to take it off. Not even when someone threatens me. No one will hurt me. I’m very capable, can you keep this in mind?”

“Yes! I’ll remember that. As long as I protect myself, you won’t be threatened. My little sister is very powerful.”

Wunian slapped her thigh. “That’s right! My big sister is smart. You must always remember what I’ve said today.”

“Yes! I’ll remember! You sound more like my elder sister!”

The two of them laughed heartily.

“Oh, right! Also, this storage bag is for you.”

“This would be the bag containing all the food?”
