Chapter 427: Verification (2)
“Little friend, I’ll enter the city first.” The little old man took Charm from Leng Ruoxue and hugged him in his arms.
“Okay, old man. Please help us promote if anyone wants to exchange herbs. And this. It’s filled with Charm’s favorite food, enough for him to eat for five days.” Leng Ruoxue handed the old man a storage ring and asked him to keep it on Charm’s behalf.
“Little friend! Don’t worry. I won’t let your precious pet beast starve,” the little old man said with a face full of black lines.?Alas! This girl is underestimating me a little too much! Does she think that I can’t even support a pet beast??However, he still took the ring, took out a thin thread from his ring, passed the string through the ring, and tied it around Charm’s neck.
“Old man, you might not know, but my beasts are too picky. I have to prepare food for them every time I go out,” Leng Ruoxue explained. Well, she was very satisfied with this little old man’s thoughtfulness.
“Hehe, looks like you’re also someone who likes to pamper pet beasts!” the little old man said happily as if he had found a comrade.
“Yes, it’s getting late. Hurry up and enter the city!” Leng Ruoxue urged.
“Little friend, we’re leaving. See you in five days!” Then the little old man walked into Blue Cloud City with Charm in his arms without looking back…
As soon as the little old man left, Freak and the others emerged from their tents.
“Haha. Lass, you’re so naughty,” Old Zao said with a smile. They had heard every word of the conversation between the girl and the old man just now. Alas! If the girl wanted to plot against someone, no one could escape!
“Xue’er, you’re addicted to gambling!” Freak said lovingly as he hugged Leng Ruoxue’s slender waist.
“I just want to find a master for Zheng En! That old man is very powerful. Apart from being a Mystic Supremacy, his alchemist level isn’t low either!” Leng Ruoxue glanced at Old Zao and explained. If she wasn’t mistaken, that old man should be an Alchemy Supremacy!
“Miss, I can learn from you. There’s no need to look for a master,” Zheng En said. Even an Alchemy Supremacy couldn’t compare to his young lady’s strength.
“Zheng En, it’s our first time here after all, and our strength isn’t very high right now. If you have an Alchemy Supremacy as your master, I’m sure the people from the Alchemy Association Headquarters won’t dare to make things too difficult for you,” Leng Ruoxue said.
“Miss…” Zheng En was a little choked up. He looked at Leng Ruoxue gratefully, his heart full of gratitude.?Boohoo… Miss is so good to me and so thoughtful for me!
“Alright, don’t be like this. Hurry up and get to work!” Leng Ruoxue urged. Since Zheng En was hers, she only wanted Zheng En’s loyalty. As for gratitude? There was no need to be so polite with her own people.
“Yes, Miss!” Zheng En said excitedly. At this moment, Darling happened to bring someone over.
“Beloved Master, someone wants to exchange herbs with us again.” Darling jumped into Leng Ruoxue’s arms, rubbed against her affectionately, and acted coquettishly.
“Yes, good!” Leng Ruoxue caressed Darling’s little head and coaxed him.
“I want to exchange for a stalk of golden silk grass,” said the middle-aged man Darling brought over.
“Take a look at our conditions first.” Zheng En pointed at the two signs in front of him.
“Okay,” the middle-aged man answered and began reading carefully.
“I’m willing to exchange my hundred-year-old ice lotus with you,” the middle-aged man said directly after reading it.
“Okay, take a look first.” Zheng En took out a small stalk of grass as thin as a golden thread and handed it to the middle-aged man, asking him to inspect the goods first.
“This is the ice lotus!” The middle-aged man glanced at the golden silk grass and impatiently exchanged the ice lotus for it.
After the transaction, Zheng En saw the middle-aged man still standing here and asked doubtfully, “Do you want to exchange for anything else?”
“No, no. I just want to ask if I can set up a stall beside you,” the middle-aged man said shyly.
“Of course you can.” Leng Ruoxue suppressed her smile.?Hehe, set it up! Do it here!?She would be happy if the Lan family’s medicinal herb exchange meeting was awkward!
“Thank you!” The middle-aged man thanked them, then took out the herbs he had prepared beforehand and also set up a stall outside the city gate…
Gradually, more and more alchemists exchanged herbs with Leng Ruoxue and the others. Similarly, more and more alchemists set up stalls outside the city gate…
In Blue Cloud City…
The sky gradually darkened in the evening.
The little old man who had made a bet with Leng Ruoxue was walking on the busy streets with mixed feelings. In his arms, Charm was dozing off with his eyes narrowed.
The little old man looked resentfully at the soundly sleeping Charm and felt very uncomfortable in his heart. He had only entered the city for half a day, but he was already deeply affected because he found that this little fox’s food was better than his.
During dinner just now, he had casually found a food stall on the street and had a simple meal. But this little fox’s dinner was incomparably sumptuous, and the aroma was so alluring.?Boohoo…
“My master is the best master in the world!” The little fox had said this to him happily and looked at him with pity earlier…
This also greatly stimulated the little old man. So after dinner, he searched the streets, wanting to find the best inn in Blue Cloud City. He had to recover his face in front of the little fox.?Boohoo…?I don’t want to see the little fox’s sympathetic gaze anymore! I really didn’t lack money!
Uh! This one!?The little old man searched for a long time and finally found an inn that satisfied him on the busiest street in Blue Cloud City.
The inn in front of the little old man was called ‘Home’. From the outside, the decoration was very luxurious. Although the entire inn only had three floors, it occupied a very large area. A huge signboard hung above the inn, with the word ‘Home’ on it. In the lower right corner was a flying eagle with its wings spread wide. Everyone knew that this was the Lan family’s emblem, indicating that this inn belonged to the Lan family.
