The Way of Spiritual Journey

Chapter 52, Princess Changping

"Could it be that even the emperor is buying jade soap? Has my fame grown that much?" Li Lang shook his head, dismissing this obviously unreliable idea.

But no one would dare to impersonate royalty. A concubine? No way, even the most favored concubine wouldn't dare to leave the palace so openly.

A prince? No way, they wouldn't dare. A princess? Hmm, that's more likely.

In the TV dramas Li Lang watched in his previous life, the unruly princesses in the palace were lawless and dared to do anything.

Just as Li Lang was still imagining a palace drama, the carriage had already come to a steady stop in front of the cooperative.

The carriage curtain was lifted, and a beautiful woman in palace attire stepped out; the woman was young and pretty, with a natural air of heroism between her brows, and her bright eyes held a cold arrogance.

"Hmph!" The woman looked up and glared at Li Lang, letting out a cold snort for no reason.

This was a bit inexplicable. Li Lang was completely bewildered. Could it be that he was going through menopause? He was so young; it shouldn't be like this.

The woman held the curtain with both hands, and an even more beautiful woman slowly emerged, immediately catching the eye of Li Lang and the others.

The woman had fair skin and a beautiful face, with exquisite makeup. Her pomegranate-colored skirt clung to her body, and gold jewelry swayed gently. She exuded wealth with her dignified demeanor and charm with her elegance.

The two women gracefully stepped out of the carriage. Seeing that Li Lang and the others were still staring at them, the woman in the palace dress frowned, about to lash out, but the woman in the pomegranate skirt smiled and spoke first, "Young Master Bulang, we meet again."

Li Lang was taken aback at first, but after a moment's thought, he suddenly realized and blurted out, "Hey, isn't this the lovely lady from Qifeng Tower?"

"How dare you be so disrespectful in front of the Princess?" The woman in palace attire raised an eyebrow and shouted.

"The Eldest Princess?" Li Lang was taken aback again upon hearing this.

"Chunyan, don't be rude." The princess glanced at Chunyan and reprimanded her.

"What, Young Master Bulang, won't you invite us in for a cup of tea?" The princess looked at Li Lang again and smiled.

"Ahem, Your Highness, please come in." Li Lang was slightly embarrassed, but he gestured for her to come in.

Li Lang personally greeted the Princess and led her into the inner hall, serving her tea and water, showing no care whatsoever for members of the royal family.

Sure enough, royal status is a powerful asset wherever you go, and even if the other party is a spiritualist, they dare not be negligent.

"The tea is quite good. It seems that Young Master Bulang is also someone who knows how to enjoy life." The princess took a sip of the hot tea and nodded.

"Hehe, the finest things in the world never leave the royal family. I'm afraid the princess will find this laughable." Li Lang chuckled. He always had a knack for chatting with beautiful women.

"Oh? Really?" The princess felt relieved upon hearing this, but she didn't let Li Lang off the hook. "The jade soap in Young Master Li Lang's possession is something the royal family doesn't have."

"Ahem, this..." Li Lang was embarrassed. This woman didn't play by the rules. "It's just a small item, nothing to mention. If the Princess likes it, just send someone to let me know, and I will present it to you with both hands. There's no need for you to go to all this trouble."

"Your little mouth is really pleasing to the eye. Why don't you come to the palace? I'm just missing a confidant like you." The princess smiled faintly, her bright eyes fixed on Li Lang.

"Hehe, this, this." Upon hearing the words "enter the palace," Li Lang's legs involuntarily tightened, and he almost broke out in a cold sweat.

"Hehe." Chunyan, who was standing next to Li Lang, couldn't help but cover her mouth and laugh when she saw Li Lang's embarrassed state.

"Your Highness is too kind. I am far too fortunate to have such an honor," Li Lang chuckled, quickly pulling two jade boxes from his robes and placing them on the table. "Your Highness, take a look. Is this the item?"

The eldest princess smiled and winked at Chunyan. Chunyan understood, picked up the jade box on the table, presented it to the princess, and then gently opened it.

A crystal-clear object, resembling jade but not quite, appeared before my eyes. A delicate fragrance wafted into my nose and permeated my lungs, bringing an indescribable sense of comfort.

"Hmm, it is indeed exquisite. But is it really as miraculous as the rumors say?" The princess asked Li Lang with her eyes slightly closed and a hint of intoxication in her eyes.

"This product is recorded in an ancient secret recipe. It is made from spiritual plants and refined through Daoist fire. It is not easy to obtain. Long-term use will definitely have miraculous effects." Li Lang remained calm and insisted on this explanation about the origin of the soap no matter who asked him.

"Of course, for the Princess's future needs for jade soap, the cooperative will make all the necessary preparations simply by sending someone over." At this point, Li Lang adopted a very humble attitude, after all, he would still be working in this area in the future, and he absolutely could not offend members of the royal family.

Besides, that soap meant nothing to him, so being generous with it was all worthwhile.

"Hmph, you're smart enough to know your place." Before the princess could speak, Chunyan gave another haughty snort.

"Chunyan, you mustn't be rude." The princess was also helpless. Although Chunyan was a maid, she had grown up with her since childhood and had been spoiled.

"Young Master, as a spirit being, your words and actions are so humble. I admire you greatly." The princess, named Changping, changed her expression, stood up solemnly, and gave a slight curtsy.

The princess's sudden action startled Li Lang. "What's going on? What's a Spirit Master? I don't know."

To be honest, Li Lang was completely bewildered. He had no idea what a Spirit Master was; he had only defeated the Black and White Duo with a single move yesterday, and that's how the legend started.

At the time, Li Lang didn't pay much attention. He just noticed that the way the Crouching Dragon, the Phoenix Chick, and the Four Heroes of Langshan looked at him had changed, filled with deep respect. Could this be the strength a Spirit Master should have? No one had actually asked him about it.

Never mind, none of that matters. The important thing is to make money.

That spendthrift, arrogant mind of mine is waiting to be nourished with money.

Li Lang was taken aback, and Chunyan beside him was even more stunned. "Oh no, I forgot this guy is a Spirit Master. Will I get into trouble if I 'humph' at him?"

"Oh dear, Princess, you're going to shorten my lifespan!" Li Lang hurriedly tried to help her up, but as soon as he stretched out his hands, he felt it was inappropriate, so he could only awkwardly stop in mid-air.

Seeing this, the princess smiled slightly and gave Chunyan a wink. Chunyan quickly stepped forward, helped the princess sit back down, and then continued to stare blankly.

'This little girl, at least she has a moment of fear.' The eldest princess glanced at Chunyan, secretly amused, knowing that she had probably forgotten that the other party was a highly skilled spiritual practitioner.

"Young master, please don't be so formal. Changping has come here today to discuss cooperation with you." At this moment, the princess was satisfied with Li Lang's impression, so she made it clear that she had come today.

"Ah, cooperation? Princess, please speak freely." Li Lang got down to business.

"I have observed that your recent actions are all aimed at profit. However, since you have just arrived in Dadu, you lack the people to plan for you, which may hinder your progress. If I, as a princess, grant you royal privileges, your business ventures will surely be successful. What do you think, young master?" the princess said frankly.
