148: Hailing at the vegetable market

The next morning, Shui Yuqianxi sat up from her bed.

Her first glance was at her phone, confirming the balance of her one-million-yuan fortune.

...This round number balance...

Shui Yuqianxi was even a little reluctant to spend it, for fear of ruining the perfect number.

This kind of Summoner, who was both concerned and unconcerned about money, made Lin Ti quite interested.

He could sense that Shui Yuqianxi truly didn't value material possessions much.

Her showing concern for material things...

It might be a kind of hobby for her.

Like honing her acting skills to better deceive people.

Lying was also a hobby of hers.

She seemed to like using lies to disguise herself, not letting others see through her, which seemed to make her feel more secure.

She was clearly very strong, and her inner self was also very strong.

Logically, she shouldn't lack a sense of security, nor be afraid of others seeing through her.

Then why did she still habitually use lies to disguise herself?

Besides it being a hobby... it meant she was hiding some terrifying secret within her.

Her strong inner self wouldn't be afraid of this secret.

But she didn't want others to know this secret; this secret would put others in danger.

Or rather, it would cause a heavy burden on others.

It was also possible that she didn't want others to know her true self and feel sympathy for her?

He couldn't delve any deeper.

Lin Ti stopped his thoughts; analyzing what was hidden deep within others' hearts like this was very impolite.

Since Mermaid Miss wanted to hide it, let her hide it.

He completely sealed away this line of thought, while his other mental faculties paid no attention to the subtle fluctuations of this wisp of will at this moment, remaining immersed in their respective research and work.

Shui Yuqianxi pulled out the Sea Turtle card.

Yesterday, she also learned about Jia Gu Yi Yan's training methods from White Feather.

And she learned about the weighted training method!

She was directly stunned.

This method, where a passionate male protagonist in a comic greatly improves his combat power after secluded cultivation, actually existed.

She had considered this method before, but she couldn't afford the weights...

And she felt it would make her look silly.

But the process of collecting the Flagfish yesterday, combined with Jia Gu Yi Yan's weighted training method,

Gave her inspiration!

So...

Shui Yuqianxi controlled the Mermaid F to create an extremely thin water film on the surface of her body.

It was difficult to detect with the naked eye.

The water film covered her arms, shoulders, waist, legs, and feet.

The water film maintained stability and did not evaporate, and it was covered with small sweat pores.

Then, she activated the Sea Turtle m!

The power of pacifying the sea was activated, and the water film began to become heavy, little by little.

10kg...

Not enough.

Gravity continued to stack.

20kg...

I'm starting to feel it.

Shui Yuqianxi lifted her arm, feeling obvious resistance.

But it was far from enough.

Although Shui Yuqianxi's muscles weren't large, the density of her muscles, bones, and entire body was very high.

Her strength was naturally very strong.

50kg!

Equivalent to the weight of an adult female, evenly distributed throughout Shui Yuqianxi's body.

Shui Yuqianxi adapted for a bit, jumping and running.

She quickly returned to normal, adapting to the new weight of her body.

She could add more!

Finally, Shui Yuqianxi stacked the weight to 100kg before stopping further stacking.

This weight was far from her limit, but she wanted to maintain this weight as a normal state, not to challenge her body's limits.

So she didn't continue to increase it.

In this state, she could no longer maintain the Basic Breathing Technique as a normal state purely by subconsciousness.

She could only dedicate some mental effort to deliberately maintain it.

Moreover, her physical exertion increased.

Not long after maintaining it, she felt a sense of hunger.

This hunger... she wanted to eat meat.

Eating at a restaurant... impossible!

Such waste would make her heart ache so much that she'd kick off several blankets at night.

Riding her beloved little motorcycle, Shui Yuqianxi arrived at the wet market, the fresh meat section, a high-end place she usually dared not visit.

(Drama queen possessed)

As she was comparing prices and thinking about which cut of meat to buy and how to cook it to get the most rice for her money,

"Benefactor!"

A shout interrupted her thoughts.

Shui Yuqianxi looked over, following the address.

She saw a girl carrying a bag of cheap vegetables.

It was the girl whom Shui Yuqianxi had encountered before, almost going astray, when she was working as a part-time driver.

At this moment, she was no longer dressed as before, wearing a faded white top and pants that looked like school uniform style.

Simple and pure.

Shui Yuqianxi somewhat understood the reason why that scumbag was attracted to her before.

This sense of purity was indeed rare.

What's going on, two days in a row, encountering three different styles of beauties.

One of them was in the mirror this morning.

"Who are you?"

"Benefactor, you don't recognize me?"

"I had some makeup on before, you know, in that taxi, don't you remember?"

The girl quickly asked, her expression a little flustered.

"In the taxi?"

"Then you might have met my biological sister; she seems to have been doing that part-time recently."

"Ah!"

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry!"

"So that was your sister..."

The girl quickly apologized, bowing repeatedly.

"It's alright, my sister is indeed very warm-hearted."

Shui Yuqianxi said with a shallow smile.

"Then could you help me contact your sister? I'd like to thank her in person."

"She..."

"She followed my father; my mother and father divorced three years ago."

"For some reasons..."

"I'm sorry, I'm really sorry!"

"I didn't mean to."

Shui Yuqianxi smiled and shook her head.

"It's alright, I don't care about what happened three years ago anymore."

"But I can tell you my sister's former name; I'm not sure if she has changed her name now."

"Yu Tanyuan."

"Thank you, thank you."

"You're welcome."

Shui Yuqianxi looked at the girl who kept thanking her, her face prim, and waved with a smile.

Given her identity, getting too involved with her wasn't a good thing.

It was true before, and it was even more so now.

Anyway, she was good at lying to begin with.

"Boss, two catties of beef!"

She had fallen.

After shouting, Shui Yuqianxi immediately regretted it.

"Make that one catty instead."

"And another catty of pork, with some fat."

This way, she could stir-fry them together, and the pork would have a beef flavor, which could trick her tongue.

...Had she really reached the point of tricking her own tongue?

However, just as she was leaving with the beef, her Summoner hummed.

Was the Summoner sympathizing with her?

For a moment, she actually had such a thought, but it was only for 0.0-something seconds before she quickly reacted.

Monster?

Shui Yuqianxi quickly took out her Summoner, only to find that it wasn't the Summoner vibrating.

It was the Sea Spirit Record.

There's a Sea Spirit Card in this market!

...Which Sea Spirit is so weak that it got caught and brought to the market?!
