Chapter 297 – Already used to being scolded "Here, this is the dress you wanted." Lin Jichen handed the exquisite snow silk dress to Jiang Luoyu. Jiang Luoyu's eyes lit up when she saw the dress. She quickly took it and equipped it. With the long dress on, Jiang Luoyu looked even more stunning. The exquisite snow silk dress accentuated her perfect figure. "Does it look good?" Jiang Luoyu eagerly asked Lin Jichen. Lin Jichen smiled and nodded, "It looks great. This dress suits you perfectly." "That's good to hear. I'll take this dress then. Boss Lin, time to pay up." Jiang Luoyu laughed as she transferred the agreed amount of spirit stones to Lin Jichen. After receiving the payment, Lin Jichen was ready to leave. "Hey, you're leaving just after we met?" Jiang Luoyu said softly. "Uh... is there something else?" Lin Jichen paused. Jiang Luoyu teased, "I spent tens of thousands of spirit stones on your dress. As the boss, shouldn't you offer some additional services? How about chatting a bit longer?" As she spoke, Jiang Luoyu unconsciously tucked a strand of hair behind her ear, trying hard to appear casual. Lin Jichen was slightly taken aback, then nodded, "Alright, how about I treat you to a meal at the Drunken Immortal Pavilion?" "Sure!" Jiang Luoyu agreed immediately. To match Jiang Luoyu's tiger mount, Lin Jichen summoned Panda Xiong. The two of them, each riding a flashy mount, headed to the Drunken Immortal Pavilion. Along the way, they attracted envious glances from other players. They chose a private room on the second floor and sat by the window, enjoying the view outside. This was their first meal together, even if it was just in the game. "Where have you been these past few days? After opening the pet shop, you disappeared. Were you out catching pets?" Jiang Luoyu asked casually. Lin Jichen took a sip of tea and shook his head, "No, I took on a mission with Su Wanling. You know, because of the skill's side effects, I entered a weakened state and stayed at the sect for three days." "Is your guild alright? Need any help?" Lin Jichen asked. Jiang Luoyu shook her head, "We're fine for now. Just some minor skirmishes, no full-scale guild war yet. Besides, Moon Shadow isn't afraid of Eternal." "But you should be extra careful. Wang Jinghao has more and more experts around him. That Xing Sen you saw last time isn't easy to deal with. If more players like him show up, it could be a threat to you." Lin Jichen didn't argue. Indeed, Xing Sen's strength was formidable. Although there was still a gap between them, if more players of Xing Sen's caliber teamed up against him, it would be troublesome. "I'll be careful. Besides, I have your Moon Shadow to back me up. If anything happens, I'll ask for your help without hesitation," Lin Jichen said with a smile. "That's good." Jiang Luoyu felt relieved and took a sip of wine, "This wine is nice." "Of course, it cost me over a hundred spirit stones. It better be good," Lin Jichen said, feeling a bit of pain. Jiang Luoyu chuckled, "You own several shops and make so much money, yet you care about such small amounts?" "Saving is a virtue. I used to be poor, and that experience is something a super-rich woman like you would never understand," Lin Jichen said. "I can't argue with that," Jiang Luoyu laughed, "By the way, where do you get the supplies for your pet shop? Do you have a secret spot for finding pets?" Lin Jichen didn't hide it, "Yes, I found it by accident." "You focus on cultivation, so you probably don't have time to catch pets every day, right?" Jiang Luoyu seemed interested. "Yeah, I've only been there once," Lin Jichen replied. Jiang Luoyu suggested, "How about this, you tell me the location, and I'll send people to catch pets there. We'll split the profits, you get sixty percent. How about that?" As the daughter of the richest person, Jiang Luoyu was naturally interested in lucrative opportunities. She had opened a pet shop before, but without a steady supply, it was struggling. Seeing how successful Lin Jichen's Free Pet Shop was, she couldn't help but have ideas. If it were anyone else, Lin Jichen wouldn't agree, not believing they would be so generous. But he trusted Jiang Luoyu. Besides, he really didn't have time to wander around the Beast Forest every day. The place was hidden and far away, but players would eventually discover it. In the meantime, he could earn more spirit stones by selling pets, and Jiang Luoyu was the best partner for that.
