Chapter 35 The Choice

Before she could grab the cake snatched by the child, Zhao Xiaoying entered an office.

A person stood inside, someone she recognized.

Liu Sandao!

"What are you doing here?"

This was the first question she asked, identical to Fang Huiran's question to Fu Ruhai.

It was understandable, anyone would ask.

Who could have imagined that someone she thought was an average student could work in the tallest building in Sandong City, it was truly incredible.

But this wasn't what Zhao Xiaoying cared about, as she wasn't familiar with Liu Sandao. If not for Bai Suxiang, she might not even know him.

Moreover, in her subconscious, she felt this person was very unlikable to girls.

"I work here, is there anything I can help you with?"

"Hahaha, you help me? What do I need help with?"

Zhao Xiaoying said with a laugh.

She had only dreamt of such a place last night and was curious.

Coincidentally, Fang Huiran said she also dreamt of this place, so they came to see.

Therefore, she had no particular request for coming here.

"Do you really not need any help?"

Liu Sandao asked, his tone still very calm.

He didn't know why she came either.

Although immortals might send dreams, not all mortals would take them particularly seriously.

As for him, he had only used a small spell, and it was still in the experimental stage.

If it worked, he would continue to use it; if not, he might never use it again.

Zhao Xiaoying shrugged noncommittally.

"Alright, then please leave!"

Liu Sandao said and was about to wave his hand to cease contact with Zhao Xiaoying.

"Wait! If... if I needed to borrow money, could you lend it? I mean, hypothetically."

Zhao Xiaoying said, sounding a little unconfident.

She did need some money at the moment, because Fang Huiran had asked her.

Furthermore, she knew Fang Huiran might be in trouble.

After all, a naked loan company had already contacted her.

They had surely called Fang Huiran as well.

Although her family could afford over a hundred thousand, if her father found out, he might disown her.

This was something she didn't want to happen.

She had always been willful since she was young, and this was the first time she had a serious disagreement with her father over money.

Therefore, even if there were difficulties, she should try to solve them herself first.

"Of course."

Liu Sandao replied.

"Really?"

Zhao Xiaoying was somewhat incredulous.

"But how can I borrow it?"

"You don't need to borrow it, you already have it."

"I have it?"

Zhao Xiaoying couldn't believe it.

Besides her living expenses for the month, she had no extra money in her pocket.

"It's here!"

Liu Sandao said, then reached out and made a motion over Zhao Xiaoying's head, producing a bag.

It was a cloth bag, quite strange.

In this day and age, such things were rare.

If any, they were only seen in television dramas.

"Open it and see!"

Liu Sandao instructed.

Zhao Xiaoying tried to open the bag, and found it filled with some fruits.

The fruits were incredibly vibrant, red, and somewhat shaped like little dolls.

Having seen television dramas, she blurted out, "Ginseng fruits?"

Liu Sandao, who rarely smiled, twitched the corner of his lips at her exclamation.

"These are called Fu Guo, not some ginseng fruits for you."

Liu Sandao explained the name of the fruit.

When he had made the motion over Zhao Xiaoying's head earlier, he had been referencing the "Fu De Manual."

However, above her head, her "Fu Gen" could be displayed more clearly, allowing him to retrieve the Fu Guo to the greatest extent.

"What does this have to do with me? Can it really be exchanged for money?"

Zhao Xiaoying asked doubtfully.

"Of course, if you agree, it can all be exchanged for money."

"Then how much can this be exchanged for?"

"Ten thousand each, count it yourself."

As soon as Liu Sandao finished speaking, Zhao Xiaoying eagerly opened the bag and started counting.

However, Liu Sandao felt a little embarrassed watching her.

There were hundreds of those fruits, if not more.

"Can I really take all of this?"

"Of course."

Liu Sandao was very direct.

There was nothing that couldn't be said frankly here, because in the end, they wouldn't remember the specifics of the situation when they left.

But if they took money out, it would be real money.

"However, this is too heavy, I can't carry it. Can the converted money be deposited into my bank card?"

"Yes."

Liu Sandao's answer was firm.

According to Fu Ruhai, the Heavenly Court and the mortal realm were already synchronized; therefore, Xia Hua Bank accounts were also interconnected. Converting cash to digital numbers was a simple matter.

"This several million is enough for me to live comfortably for half my life!"

Zhao Xiaoying exclaimed.

"Are you sure you want to take it all at once?"

Liu Sandao's question left Zhao Xiaoying bewildered.

"What? Why do you ask like that? Is it not allowed?"

"After taking it, if the money runs out, your life will be over."

"Ah? Then I won't take it all. I'll take a part of it first. Give me... one hundred thousand."

Zhao Xiaoying said hesitantly. The reason for choosing one hundred thousand was because Fang Huiran had borrowed that amount from her.

Liu Sandao didn't linger on anything else. After completing a simple transaction, he sent Zhao Xiaoying out.

After leaving, Zhao Xiaoying's mind only retained two sentences:

Do more good deeds, get more Fu Guo!

If you need anything, find Ying Bafang!

She couldn't remember anything else, not even that Liu Sandao had stood in front of her.

When she tried to go back in to ask more questions, a voice sounded.

"Consultation service completed. Please return on another day."

It turned out that once you left this door, you couldn't re-enter on the same day.

In fact, there weren't many people, but Fu Ruhai and Liu Sandao were only two people. One-on-one was certainly not feasible.

If not for Liu Sandao using the secret art of the "Ruoshui Fu" at a crucial moment to create a clone, it would have been impossible to receive Zhao Xiaoying while simultaneously attending to Mei Ziqi.

Mei Ziqi saw the two of them standing in front of the mirror, with no one else outside the door.

His initial concerns immediately vanished.

In any case, only he knew about his dream. While he was awake, he had to at least have a look.

Just like that, as he looked into the mirror, he found himself by a muddy riverbank.

The river was wide, and the banks were long, stretching out of sight.

He stood on the dike, which was made of earth and quite wide, enough for two cars to pass.

The sky at this moment was overcast, as if it had just rained. Su Dan Novel Network.

The dike was muddy and messy.

As Mei Ziqi wondered where he had arrived.

A voice reached his ears:

"Help!"

Mei Ziqi was momentarily dazed, fearing he had misheard.

He held his breath, trying to discern the direction of the voice.

Until two more calls came through.

"Help, help!"

He heard clearly, someone was indeed shouting for help.

The voice was coming from below.

He instinctively walked closer to the edge of the dike and peered down.

He saw a man in his fifties or sixties, in tattered clothes, climbing up from the riverbed.

His feet were on exposed sand and mud. The river water seemed to be rising slowly, and by the time he spoke, it had already covered his ankles.
