His Highness the Crown Prince Always Wants to Marry Me

Chapter 305: Have a Way

After trading for the Nourishing Soil, Yu Qing Qian took out a lot of unused magical beast and demonic plant materials and exchanged it for materials that she could use with the manager.

After the transaction, the manager presented a VIP token to Yu Qing Qian.

Leaving Treasure Pavilion, the two visited several other shops on the larger side.

Yu Qing Qian made a lot of purchases and practically spent all the gold coins she had. This was also expected by Feng Chen, because he had been used to it since he was a child.

Putting all the things into the bracelet space, Yu Qing Qian felt very happy. Since entering and leaving Da Yan Kingdom, she had not experienced the fun of a shopping spree again.

“Are you tired? Do you want to continue shopping, or find a place to rest?” Feng Chen asked with a smile when he saw Yu Qing Qian’s interest in shopping gradually waning.

Yu Qing Qian shrugged: “I’ve already become a pauper, so naturally we’ll go look for a place to rest.”

“How about go for some tea?” Feng Chen suggested, seeing that it was still early.

“Sure, let’s go find a teahouse with an elegant environment to have tea.” Yu Qing Qian nodded.

Feng Chen took Yu Qing Qian to a teahouse not far from the Underground Palace. The environment was elegant and quiet, and the two asked for a private room and went directly upstairs.

In the private room of the teahouse, not only were there tea sets, but also musical instruments such as the guqin, pipa, and kong hou¹. Guests could play it themselves or ask the entertainers in the teahouse to play.

“No need to attend to us here, you can leave.” Feng Chen said after the two maids placed the tea sets down and one of them washed their hands and brewed tea.

“Yes!” Then the two of them respectfully exited the private room.

Yu Qing Qian leaned lazily on the chair, picked up the teacup and took a sip, “The tea here is pretty good.”

Not only was the quality of the tea good, but the service and attitude were also very good. Yu Qing Qian hadn’t enjoyed such a leisurely experience for a long time.

“As long as you like it!” Feng Chen picked up a cup of tea and tasted it carefully.

“By the way, do you need gold coins or spiritual jade for the treasure snatching activity?” Yu Qing Qian looked sideways at Feng Chen and asked.

Feng Chen pulled Yu Qing Qian over and habitually hugged her on his lap, “The treasure snatching activities are different each time. Sometimes they use spiritual jade, sometimes they barter, somethings they fight in the ring, there are all sorts of creative ways. We’ll only know the details when we go there tonight.”

“Mm, sounds interesting.”

Hearing what he said, Yu Qing Qian’s eyes grew more interested. She sighed with a mixture of emotions that the people in power behind the Underground Palace were really ingenious, and she was looking forward to the evening’s activities even more.

Feng Chen hugged Yu Qing Qian with one arm and played with the teacup in the other, “Qian Qian, I already figured out how you can cover up you being able to contract demonic plants to fight in the future.”

Yu Qing Qian raised her head in surprise, looking at him with sparkling bright eyes and asked: “So fast? How?”

“There’s a method of forming contracts with spiritual plants in the Holy Academy, which is specifically used for forming contracts with demonic plants. But it’s just an incomplete book, and very few people have been able to successfully practice this method before.”

Feng Chen paused, then said: “After you enter the Holy Academy, first accumulate holy points to exchange for this method. Once you successfully complete the first three chapters of the method, you can attract the attention of a certain Grand Elder in the Holy Academy. If they personally guide you a bit, then when you go out and summon demonic plants, not only will it not be a surprise to people, but they will also think it’s a matter of course.”

One was only allowed to exchange for the Holy Academy’s methods using their own holy points, and didn’t allow external distribution, so Feng Chen couldn’t help with this either. Yu Qing Qian could only accumulate holy points herself.

“Then does that Grand Elder have the ability to form contracts with demonic plants?” Yu Qing Qian’s thoughts changed and she asked with a smile.

“Mm, the Grand Elder is solitary and eccentric, but is very strong, and has devoted their whole life to studying demonic plants. This fragmented method was also brought back by them when they went out.” Feng Chen replied.
