After becoming rich overnight, I handed over the system.

Chapter 33 The Glass Shop Opens

Finally, the last sword was approaching, and Long Mingyue was extremely excited.

None of her family members understand; she has truly forged a hundred different weapons, swords, axes, and halberds—she's experienced them all. Now, she considers herself a master weapon refiner.

I wonder what the final reward will be?

While Long Mingyue was secretly looking forward to it, Liu Mingyue was also secretly looking forward to it. Her glass shop was finally opening!

After the crackling of firecrackers, the shop's signboard appeared: Liuli Pavilion!

The name was personally inscribed by her uncle, the emperor. The emperor had asked her if she wanted to change her name, but she refused. "Liulige" sounds nice, and it's simple and easy to understand; it clearly means she sells glass.

The transparent glass window immediately attracted people from the whole street. Look, there are many people looking at the shop now.

Seeing that everyone was just lingering outside and not going in, Liu Wenshuang and Wu Quan took the lead and went in first, and sure enough, some people started to follow them in.

Once inside the shop, the merchandise on display did not disappoint.

Besides transparent glass cups, plates, vases, and other items, there are many more cups, plates, bowls, and dishes in various colors, exquisite objects, emerald green glass leaves, light pink peach blossom cups, small orange persimmons like the sunset, and even small fish with mixed colors.

"This, this is so beautiful!" Brother Liu was a little shocked. He originally thought that the transparent glass cup that Mingyue sent was already very precious, but now that he saw these colorful glass pieces, he was even more surprised.

"Brother, it seems my sister's shop doesn't need our support!"

"Looking at the people who were hesitant to go in just now, they are now squeezing in to buy things," Brother Liu said helplessly.

Brother Liu didn't expect the quiet shop to suddenly become so lively. Liu Mingyue had already arranged for the shopkeeper to entertain the guests.

"Brother, stop talking! The fish I've got my eye on is going to be snatched away!" When Brother Liu saw that someone else was also after the fish he wanted, he didn't care about his older brother anymore and quickly squeezed in to get the shopkeeper's bag for him.

They completely forgot that the two of them came because they were worried that their sister's shop would have no customers when it opened.

At this moment, Liu Mingyue was entertaining the Crown Prince and the Third Prince on the second floor. "Cousins, please have a seat!"

"Cousin, your shop is always packed!" His Highness the Crown Prince praised Liu Mingyue.

“Yes, Cousin Yue, your glass shop is truly unique!” The Third Prince chimed in, not to be outdone.

"Thank you for the compliments, cousins. It's just a small trinket! Mingyue hasn't thanked you for the gifts yet!"

Liu Mingyue outwardly expressed her gratitude, but in reality, she complained a lot about Lin Liuyi and the others.

"This cousin of the Crown Prince is quite nice. He gave me some unusual items, as well as some jewelry. Let me show you how exquisite they are!"

"That third prince actually gave me some rouge powder! I'm speechless! All show and no substance!"

In Liu Mingyue's heart, this Third Prince was really no match for His Highness the Crown Prince. He was so petty in his actions. Just now, he even called her "Cousin Yue," showing off that she was closer to him, wasn't she?

After talking with Liu Mingyue for a while, the two took their leave.

Liu Mingyue then focused all her attention on her shop. She hadn't had a chance to speak with her two older brothers while entertaining the two princes, and now she noticed that her second brother was carrying a bunch of things.

Liu Mingyue wanted to facepalm. Why was her second brother still like this? He couldn't resist anything strange. Back when they were in the Marquis's mansion, he had spent his pocket money on countless odd and wonderful things, and in the end, she had to help him out.

"Second brother, why did you buy so many things again? Just tell me which ones you like, and I'll have them delivered directly to the Marquis's residence!"

"Hey, Mingyue, everything in your shop is so beautiful, I bought too much without even realizing it. No need for you to deliver, your second brother has plenty of money!" Second Brother Liu chuckled sheepishly.

“That’s right, your second brother is rich, we don’t need to worry about him!” Brother Liu chimed in.

When Liu Mingyue heard her eldest brother say the same thing, she secretly smiled. It was more fun talking to her two older brothers. When she talked to her two prince cousins, she had to be on her guard, afraid that she would say the wrong thing.

"Come on, big brother and second brother, there are many other things upstairs. Let me show you around!"

Just as Liu Mingyue was about to lead her two older brothers for another stroll, she was stopped again by someone. Her second elder sister had also arrived, bringing a bunch of her girlfriends with her.

Liu Mingyue was quite close to her second elder sister, after all, she was the first person to accept her.

After learning that she was the princess's cousin who had been lost, she sent her many things, including the glittering gold brocade from last time, and gave her share to Liu Mingyue.

Moreover, whenever there was something new in the palace, this second imperial sister would send someone to deliver a copy to her. It could be said that she cared for her even more than her own mother in the princess's residence, so Liu Mingyue liked this cousin very much.

"Second cousin, you're here too!"

"Mingyue, come and tell us about all the fun things in your shop!" The Second Princess, Li Jingwan, also really liked her little cousin, Liu Mingyue.

The royal family has few offspring; over the years, there have only been the three siblings and Princess Jiayan. Now, they have another little cousin, who is not only beautiful but also cheerful and generous. Li Jingwan is extremely pleased with her.

It's not that the original Princess Jiayan was bad, it's just that her quiet personality didn't get along with Li Jingwan.

After meeting Liu Mingyue, Li Jingwan felt like she had finally found a true friend. Most of her usual close friends still cared about her status as a princess, and she always felt a distance between them.

Liu Mingyue was different. Although she couldn't always leave the palace, the two still met a few times, and each meeting was pleasant. Later, they even exchanged gifts and corresponded through letters, becoming more familiar with each other.

"Second cousin, just tell me which one you like, and take whatever you like. It's Mingyue's treat today! Come on, I'll take you to see the new arrivals; there's a lot of jewelry on the second floor!"

"No need for you to send me anything, your second cousin has plenty of money!"

“Yes, yes, Princess, we have money!” The young ladies behind the Second Princess chimed in.

"Alright, then I won't stand on ceremony. But thank you all for patronizing my shop. How about I give you all a discount? Thank you for your support!" Liu Mingyue didn't mince words and directly stated her idea.

"I think it's a good idea! Mingyue, you'll have to give my sisters a bigger discount later!" The Second Princess agreed with Liu Mingyue's approach. Business is business, and personal favors are personal favors!

Sure enough, when the women saw the various hairpins and jewelry inlaid with glass on the second floor, they exclaimed in amazement again. Each of them bought quite a few things, contributing another wave of sales to Liu Mingyue's shop.

It is foreseeable that glass jewelry will be popular in the capital for some time.

From the day the shop opened, customers flocked in like a tide, and it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that she made a fortune every day. She was so happy that she started giving Lin Liuyi tips again.

The system was overjoyed; following the new readers, it received a significant amount of extra energy this month.

It felt a little guilty for having so much energy; it should have put the thermos it bought for Lin Liuyi in there. Next time, it would definitely deliver more things to its host.

Unfortunately, Lin Liuyi was unaware of the system's thoughts, otherwise she would have jumped for joy.

Unlike the others who were happy, Long Mingyue was kneeling on the ground, looking at her reward.

She finally finished the last sword, and now she's waiting for her reward.

"A...a broken sword?" Long Mingyue couldn't believe what she was seeing.

What's going on? If you can't give her a celestial or top-grade magic weapon, a high-grade one would be fine, or even a mid-grade one would be acceptable. What's the meaning of giving her a broken sword?

She painstakingly crafted a hundred different weapons, exhausting herself to the point of looking like a beggar, only to end up with a broken sword. Long Mingyue felt she couldn't accept it!

She wanted to curse the heavens in her heart, but her body still honestly picked up the broken sword, the Broken Wind Sword.

The sword is as its name suggests, incomplete, but it is actually an incomplete immortal artifact?

A celestial artifact? Long Mingyue thought she was doing well again. So what if it was crippled? It was still a celestial artifact. She contentedly nurtured the sword in her dantian.

Having already tested herself in all three locations, she pushed open the door.

Damn it!

This time she really cursed, because she pushed open the door and went straight to the edge of the cliff. She almost, almost, lost her footing!

She almost became the cultivator who didn't die in the secret realm but fell to her death while leaving it!

Thankfully, after applying her Swift Wind Talisman, Long Mingyue quickly left the area.
