Outside the store, there were two Heavenly People Clan characters — For Rent.
Yes, this was an empty store, waiting for its next owner to arrive. This place was somewhat remote, and few Heavenly People came here. Moreover, the surroundings were almost entirely filled with the residences of those Heavenly People. Hardly any shops could be seen.
Although Chu Mo had long noticed this shop, he couldn't understand why Chu Hui chose this place. According to common sense, shouldn't one choose a bustling area?
Chu Hui seemed to have read Chu Mo's mind, and with a smile, she said, "Brother, don't forget, we're offering it for free! If we're giving it away, it doesn't matter where it is. Haven't we always said that good wine should not be afraid of deep alleys?"
Chu Mo pursed his lips but said nothing, clearly not agreeing.
Although he hadn't paid attention to business matters for ages, he wasn't completely devoid of commercial sense. Otherwise, how did Gluttonous Pavilion come to be in the Mortal Realm back then? How old was Chu Mo then?
So, Chu Mo wasn't entirely clueless, he just wasn't interested in this area!
Of course, after all these years, even in the long river of time, it counted as quite a long stretch. Chu Mo's business acumen had almost completely faded, leaving only the most basic instincts.
For instance, if you're opening a shop, you should choose a bustling area with good location and lots of people.
Chu Hui didn't care at all about these things. She led Chu Mo directly to the door of the empty shop, where there was a number composed of digits, presumably a contact number.
Chu Hui pulled out something resembling a message board like a magic trick and then directly dialed the number on it.
Chu Mo looked on in astonishment and said to Chu Hui, "When did you get Heavenly People Clan's communication tools?"
This time it was Chu Hui's turn to purse her lips. She looked at Chu Mo and said, "The things they make have no technical content whatsoever. Copying something like this takes less than a thought… Brother, you're one of the top cultivators in the world. You're a god, is this difficult for you?"
Chu Mo swept his divine sense over it and said, "Indeed it's not difficult, but if you asked me to create one out of thin air, I think… it might be a little challenging."
To say the least, in Chu Hui's eyes, this backward communication tool was quite fascinating to Chu Mo.
Although incomparable with the new-generation message boards of the Pangu world today, it was much better than the message boards Chu Mo had back in the Illusory God Realm. The internal configurations were exquisitely intricate, and every component had its unique purpose.
Quickly, Chu Hui contacted the owner of the shop and began to communicate with them directly using her divine sense.
Finally, she turned off the communication device, pursed her lips, and said, "For such a shoddy place, he dares to ask for an outrageous price, utterly shameless!"
"…" Black lines filled Chu Mo's forehead as he looked at Chu Hui. "We're not short of money, are we?"
"It's not about money, my dear brother…" Chu Hui looked at Chu Mo. "You wouldn't know the value of firewood and rice unless you manage a household. Moreover, it's a matter of principle. Why shouldn't I haggle when he's asking for such an exorbitant price?"
"Alright, as long as you're happy," Chu Mo said dryly, lacking any sincerity.
Chu Hui laughed playfully, "Just wait and see."
A moment later, a four-wheeled vehicle, seemingly forged from steel, arrived at high speed.
Then, a middle-aged Heavenly Man got off from the vehicle.
The moment he saw Chu Hui, he was slightly taken aback, seemingly awestruck by her beauty.
Indeed, Chu Hui was exceptionally beautiful. She was a top-tier rune life-form, possessing a wealth of Human Clan data that allowed her to create a body that embodied the most beautiful portrayal among humans. Her beauty verged on perfection; even within the Chu Clan royalty, finding someone more beautiful than Chu Hui was quite rare.
Having lived as a human for many years, she exuded an allure and spirit energy comparable to any human woman.
Though Heavenly People were also beautiful, finding someone like Chu Hui was still quite uncommon.
Thus, this middle-aged man found himself momentarily dazed.
Chu Hui coughed lightly, then gave a faint, aloof smile, and began to communicate with this middle-aged man.
Perhaps dazzled by Chu Hui's beauty, after a few exchanges, this middle-aged Heavenly Man unexpectedly decided not to charge any money temporarily, opting to collect rent after they made profits in the future!
Even after the steel-like vehicle left, Chu Mo couldn't quite believe it. He watched Chu Hui holding the keys, looking smugly at him, and couldn't help but extend a thumb, "Impressive!"
Chu Hui's impressiveness went far beyond this.
After she obtained the keys to the shop, the first thing she did was to transform the shop.
Her cultivation wasn't great for fighting, but for tasks like this, she was quite adept.
Soon, a very high-end, stylish store appeared before Chu Mo, and then Chu Hui twirled in front of Chu Mo like a dancing fairy. With a smile, she looked at Chu Mo and said, "Brother, how about it? Do I have taste?"
Chu Mo stroked his chin and nodded, saying, "Why does it feel... like this place you've set up looks like a tea house?"
"Hmph!" Chu Hui snorted proudly, then waved her hand: "Annoying, annoying... Saying the shop I set up looks like a tea house. Really!"
Instantly, the entire store transformed again, looking resplendent and luxurious to an extreme.
Chu Mo's mouth twitched: "This looks like a nouveau riche's home."
Chu Hui rolled her eyes and continued decorating.
This time, it looked noble and elegant, much better than before. Chu Mo nodded repeatedly, though in his heart, he still wasn't very optimistic. But fearing the girl might lose her temper, he wisely refrained from giving more opinions.
Chu Hui also felt it was pretty good this time, then went directly outside, pointed her finger, and a plaque suddenly appeared on the storefront.
When Chu Mo saw that plaque, he almost burst with laughter.
The plaque had several large characters written in the Heavenly People Clan's script — Dare to Come and Dare to Give!
Chu Mo finally couldn't hold it in and, looking at Chu Hui, said, "I say, sister, this plaque of yours... What can anyone make out of it? What does 'Dare to Come and Dare to Give' mean?"
"It's simple. Those very characteristic Heavenly People, when they see this plaque, will definitely be just like you, very curious. They won't know what we're doing here. Then, they will definitely come in to take a look out of curiosity, and once they're in, we'll introduce them to the runestone network signboard and just give it to them!" Chu Hui looked completely justified.
Chu Mo was utterly speechless.
However, what Chu Mo did not expect was that this kind of place... indeed had people actually walking in. It's worth mentioning that this truly was an uncanny thing.
One could only say that Chu Hui had done her homework on the Heavenly People Clan and had a deep understanding of the Heavenly People's habits. Although any powerful cultivator could accomplish these things with little effort, few could store all this data in their brain using the simplest methods and recall it when needed like Chu Hui.
And this should be the biggest difference between runestone lifeforms and humans.
The first Heavenly Person to enter was a young girl who seemed only eighteen or nineteen. She was very beautiful, like a porcelain doll. She had soft, golden hair cascading down her shoulders and wore a pink princess dress. Such a girl would always attract a few more glances wherever she went.
Seeing this young girl, Chu Hui couldn't help but praise her with a beaming smile: "Young lady, you're so pretty!"
Chu Mo was quite speechless inside. Based solely on Chu Hui's demeanor, actions, and expressions, no one would believe she was a runestone lifeform.
This was simply a genuine human!
Though such cases were also present among the Heavenly People, they were extremely rare. Thus, this young girl felt very embarrassed by Chu Hui's compliment and said in a sweet and soft voice, "Big sister, you're also very beautiful. I've never seen someone as beautiful as you before."
Chu Hui looked happy and nodded: "Yes, yes, I know."
"You know..." Chu Mo had even more black lines on his forehead. But seeing that the little girl looked unsurprised, Chu Mo instantly understood that this must be a form of communication and interaction among the Heavenly People.
He suddenly felt that he was somewhat redundant staying here.
At this moment, the porcelain doll-like young girl asked, "Excuse me, sister, what are you giving away? Is it this handsome big brother?"
With that, she gazed at Chu Mo for quite a while with her bright and pure big eyes. Although she seemed a bit shy, it was very clear that she probably liked this type of person — like Chu Mo.
Chu Mo wanted very much to cast an invisibility spell and disappear from the spot!
Why was he following Chu Hui around instead of going to hassle the Immeasurable Heavenly Lord?
Initially, he was worried about leaving Chu Hui alone in a place teeming with Heavenly People, but now he had realized that even without him, Chu Hui would indeed have no issues at all here. In fact, she might even be more in her element.
Chu Hui covered her mouth and chuckled, shaking her head: "This big brother can't be given to you, but sister can give something else to you."
With that, Chu Hui pulled out a new generation of messaging boards from her belongings.
The porcelain doll girl wrinkled her nose involuntarily upon seeing it and said, "This thing... I have it too! It's nothing special, but why are you giving it away? Isn't this something you need to pay for?"
Chu Hui, like a little devil, giggled and said, "Little sister, this from me is much better than yours! Come, come, let sister show you."
