Chapter 155: A Love Token

The two of them started to look at the first stall. The stall owner was a senior in the Healing Department. In front of his stall were many medicinal herbs.
Every item had a price tag on it, and no bargaining was accepted.
Yu Huang saw a light silver grass. She was a Purifying Spirit Master and could sense the rich soul force emanating from the grass.
Seeing that Mr. Sheng’s girlfriend was interested in the herb, the senior quickly picked up the introduction card beside the herb and told Yu Huang, “This is called Soul Concentrating Grass. It’s very useful for beast tamers with damaged souls. Consuming this herb can condense the soul and prevent the
soul from dissipating!”
“You have good taste. You saw the best thing here at first glance.”
It was truly a case of someone giving her a pillow when she was sleepy. This Soul Concentrating Grass was what Yu Huang needed the most.
Previously, Su Tingxue fell into a deep sleep to save her soul. In order to stabilize Su Tingxue’s soul, Yu Huang gave Su Tingxue the Spirit Gathering Grass that Saint Xuan Ye gave her last year.
But she still needed a more effective Soul Concentrating Grass to condense her father’s soul.
Yu Huang asked the stall owner, “How much?”
The vendor extended two fingers.
Yu Huang frowned. “200 points?”
The stall owner revealed an awkward smile. “This is a Soul Concentrating Grass that can only be found beside a level 7 demon beast lair. 200 points cannot buy it.”
Yu Huang heard Sheng Xiao say, “2000.”
Yu Huang was speechless.
She did not have 2000 points. She would not have it even if she was sold.
Sheng Xiao did not know what Yu Huang needed it for, but as long as she wanted it, he would buy it for her. He had earned points for 14 years, and now, he finally had a use for it.
Sheng Xiao handed the point card to Yu Huang. “Use mine.”
In the Divine Realm Academy, point cards were equivalent to bank cards. Whoever was willing to give their point cards to others was undoubtedly true love. Seeing Senior Sheng give his point card to that junior further confirmed their relationship.
Naturally, Yu Huang could not spend Sheng Xiao’s points. She accepted the card but did not swipe it. Instead, she looked at the stall owner and asked, “Can we exchange?”
The vendor was taken aback.
He glanced at Sheng Xiao, who was standing behind Yu Huang. He saw that Sheng Xiao was frowning. He could not tell what Senior Sheng was thinking. So, he told Yu Huang the truth. “You can make an equal exchange, but you must give me something that I’m satisfied with.”
Hearing this, Yu Huang took out three Monster Cores from her interspatial ring. She said, “There are three level 2 Monster Cores here. Is that enough?”
Hearing that, the stall owner was tempted.
If his Soul Concentrating Grass was put up for auction, it would sell for at least twenty thousand spirit stones. According to the auction market price, one level two Monster Core could only be auctioned for five thousand spirit stones, and three Monster Cores would be auctioned for fifteen thousand spirit
stones.
After thinking for a while, the stall owner started to bid. “If you can give me another level-three Monster Core, you can take the Soul Concentrating Grass. I can also give you a few more items.” The stall owner picked up a few types of Blood Clotting Grass beside the Soul Concentrating Grass and gave
them to Yu Huang.
Yu Huang wasn’t stupid.
She took back a level two Monster Core and took out a level three Monster Core. She said to the stall owner, “Two level two Monster Cores and one level three Monster Core for all the herbs in your stall. Do you want to sell them or not?”
She could also tell that the only valuable thing on this stall was the Soul Concentrating Grass. The rest were ordinary herbs that could be found anywhere.
The stall owner saw that Yu Huang was someone who knew her stuff and knew that she was not easy to fool. He was afraid that Yu Huang would go back on her words, so he quickly reached out and grabbed the Monster Core in Yu Huang’s hand. “Alright, I’ll give you everything!”
Yu Huang had lived in the abyss for three months and gained quite a lot. Yu Huang still had a lot of Monster Cores of this grade.
However, the students in the academy rarely interacted with demon beasts. Every year, when they went out on missions in June, they would also work together. The Monster Cores they hunted would usually be exchanged for spirit stones.
A grade 3 Monster Core like this was extremely precious to the stall owner. The stall owner had no reason to reject Yu Huang’s business.
The corners of Yu Huang’s lips curled up as she bent down and stored all the herbs into her interspatial ring.
Sheng Xiao was a little disappointed when he saw that Yu Huang had bought all the items in front of stall number one with her own ability. He wanted to spend money for Yu Huang, but she was a rich lady herself.
The feeling of having points but no one to help him spend them made Sheng Xiao very depressed.
Yu Huang could tell that Sheng Xiao was upset when she saw his lips pursed tightly.
In order to appease this guy’s fragile heart, Yu Huang said, “There’s a jewelry store in front. Buy me some jewelry.”
In order to appease this guys fragile heart, Yu Huang said, “There’s a jewelry store in front. Buy me some jewelry.”

The person selling the jewelry was none other than Yin Rong.
In front of Yin Rong was a long square table covered with a pure white piece of cloth. There were many exquisite accessories placed on it, and practically every female student would stop and buy one or two when they arrived at her stall.
Yin Rong noticed that Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang were walking toward her stall. She noticed that Senior Sheng even wore a collar pin for today’s date. She thought for a moment and quickly took a stone collar pin from her jewelry.
When Yu Huang and the others approached, Yin Rong smiled warmly at Yu Huang and said, “Yu Huang, are you buying jewelry? Why don’t you buy a collar pin for Senior Sheng?”
Without waiting for Yu Huang to speak, Yin Rong eloquently explained, “Look at this brooch. It doesn’t look as gorgeous and exquisite as Senior Sheng’s brooch, but its meaning is unique.”
“Do you know that the white jade carved on this stone is also known as the Three Lives Stone? If a woman were to give this jade to a man, it would mean that she would be happy with him and would be willing to spend three lifetimes with him.”
After hearing Yin Rong’s explanation, Yu Huang’s expression became a little complicated. She hadn’t expected Yin Rong to be this kind of senior.
She was able to praise this ordinary stone-patterned jade stone to the skies. With her eloquence, she should really be a salesperson. She would definitely become the number one sales person in the Divine Moon Empire.
Although he knew that it was fake, Sheng Xiao looked at the collar pin with anticipation.
Would Yu Huang give him this?
Yu Huang was speechless when she saw the look in Sheng Xiao’s eyes. He was a smart child. Why would he believe that?
Seeing that the stone-collared brooch was priced at 20 points, Yu Huang took out her point card. “T’ll buy it.” It was not an expensive item, It was worth it to make him happy.
‘When he saw that Yu Huang had bought the collar pin, Sheng Xiao suddenly tured to look at her. His gaze was burning with passion.
Yu Huang had a feeling that Sheng Xiao would rush over and kiss her if it was not for the fact that the occassion didn’t allow it.
Yu Huang’s heart skipped a beat. She was too embarrassed to look at Sheng Xiao.
After Yin Rong collected the points, she quickly passed the needle to Yu Huang. Yu Huang took the needle and coughed. She lowered her head and said to Sheng Xiao, “Your collar needle must be very expensive. If you break it and lose it, it will be a pity to lose it!”
Then, Yu Huang stuffed the stone collar pin she had just bought into Sheng Xiao’s chest pocket. She said, “Change into this. It’s cheap. It won’t be a pity even if you lose it.”
Sheng Xiao did not say anything. He looked at Yu Huang deeply and told her seriously, “It will be a pity to lose it.”
Yu Huang was stunned.
This guy.
Sheng Xiao took off the blue collar pin in front of Yu Huang. He put the stone collar pin on her solemnly. He touched the collar pin gently and told her, “I like this gift very much.”
Yu Huang’s face blushed with embarrassment as she hurried to the next stall.
Sheng Xiao followed her closely.
As soon as the two of them left, Xiao Shu said to Yin Rong, “You can predict everything like a god. Who would have thought that Senior Sheng would really fall for Yu Huang?”
Yin Rong was like a hardcore fan shipping a couple. She looked at the two of them with her eyes flickering as she said, “‘m suddenly looking forward to how Xuanyuan Clan’s young master will react when he finds out about Yu Huang and Senior Sheng.”
Xiao Shu sneered. “He deserves it!”
Xiao Shu picked a stone ring from Yin Rong’s stall and said, “This thing looks pretty good. It’s not expensive anyway. Rong Rong, give me one too!”
Yin Rong smiled gently at him and took back the ring. “There’s a lot of them by the cliff at the back of the mountain. Go find them yourself.”
Xiao Shu grinned, but his eyes were filled with disappointment.
Sheng Xiao and Yu Huang went through all the stalls in the market. In the end, Yu Huang picked a comb made of jade. The jade comb was a low-level magical weapon. It could be used to comb one’s hair to keep one’s mind clear.
The price was 50 points.
This time, Sheng Xiao did not wait for Yu Huang to swipe her card. He swiped his own card and gave her the comb.
‘When they returned to the academy, Sheng Xiao accompanied Yu Huang to the female dormitory before saying goodbye to her. Yu Huang held the comb and asked him, “Did we go on a date tonight?”
Yu Huang thought that Sheng Xiao would continue to avoid the question. But Sheng Xiao nodded and said, “Of course.”
Yu Huang laughed. “Then what is our relationship now?”
Sheng Xiao still said, “Our relationship depends on whether you can defeat Xuanyuan Jing.”
Even at this point, he still had such a tsundere attitude. Yu Huang rolled her eyes and scolded him, “Serves you right for not being pursued!”
Yu Huang turned around and entered the dormitory building, only to meet Doris, who was patrolling downstairs.
Doris reached out and patted Yu Huang’s shoulder. Yu Huang thought that Doris was going to hit her so she quickly hid away.
Doris took back her dogma book and stood elegantly in the middle of the corridor. She said to Yu Huang, “You’re really surprising to be able to take Sheng Xiao down.”
Sheng Xiao had grown up under the watch of Doris and the other professors. The other students started dating then broke up again and again, but Sheng Xiao was still single. The professors were worried for him.
Now, it was Sheng Xiao’s turn. His girlfriend was also an outstanding girl. Doris and the others were happy to see that happen.
Unfortunately, this girl’s appearance was damaged.
Yu Huang was a little embarrassed when she heard Doris. She immediately ran upstairs.
Doris walked out of the dormitory building. Seeing that Sheng Xiao was still standing at the foot of the building, she laughed and teased him.. “We’ve only been apart for less than two minutes and you’re already reluctant to leave?”
