Chapter 7
Now let's go see that arrogant doctor—what was his name again? ... It seems to have something to do with butterflies ... I forgot.
Sigh...! Of course, a prince is different from ordinary commoners! With the title of "Prince Wei Yuan" above his head, Xiao Die can only find solace in herself.
This highly toxic substance is not cheap; it is said that on the black market, its price has soared to the level of "one segment of transformation elixir equals one segment of gold". The transformation elixir from Cui Xiao Mountain Manor is quite unique, resembling branches that are segmented. When in use, one can break off a section and dissolve it in water, making it convenient to carry and easy to use
In summary, Wuxie was furious at that time, but due to his frail health, he restrained himself from exploding. Especially upon hearing that this Zhou Xiaodie had not even left his residence, he remarked, "He merely imagines himself as a graceful figure, noble in sentiment, ultimately the tragic protagonist of love." This piece of gossip reached Wuxie's sickbed immediately, and he felt an impulse to spit blood: what audacity she had! Knowing only a little, she dared to make such a baseless and unpoetic speculation! She thought she was someone of importance?! How dare she comment on the private life of Prince Weiyuan?!
Alas! He was the one who was unkind despite his wealth! The heavens must have been unable to tolerate it, which is why he was punished by losing a tooth! How can he still have the audacity to blame me for it?!
Is it possible? Xiaodie’s neck is stretching little by little: Is this the legendary enchanting fragrance?
But she did not dare to act rashly, fearing that the person would turn back again
The little white animal tilted its head slightly—Xiao Die could see it clearly, and its gaze could be precisely described by a word in human language: "contempt"
"Does a dog need an introduction?" Xiao Die said disdainfully, as she heard a series of panting sounds coming from the alley. A snow-white figure "rolled" to the doorstep—its legs were too short, and when it ran, it was hardly different from rolling.
No wonder you sleep so soundly. Xiao Feng stretched out her arms and casually asked, Seeing you so composed, you must not have lost anything. If something were truly missing, Xiao Die, being such a money-lover, would have already been crying out in despair, as if someone had dug out her heart and lungs
Xiao Feng exaggeratedly set up a makeshift shelter and looked around, "Has the sky fallen? Why don't I feel any heaviness on my shoulders?"
One should not have any flaws; from the "Shu Feng Hall" on the artificial hill, one gazes at the little butterfly across the small lake.
Why? Wuxie is inwardly lamenting: I am doing this for your own good! If I don't block it with a teacup, you will surely laugh yourselves to death on the spot
Xiao Die held her breath, dipped her fingertips into some purple medicinal liquor, and quickly applied it beneath her nose. The intense aroma made her tear up; she grimaced, dared not make a sound, covered her mouth and nose with the quilt, and quietly observed the situation in the darkness
Two dark figures seemed to look up together.
On the night of the third day after A Niu and the others left, Xiao Die had just memorized the two hundred sixty-sixth prescription when she heard what seemed to be some commotion in the courtyard
The reward money has already scattered with our companions! Little Die felt distressed but couldn't help but be curious: when did her older brother get involved with such a character? It actually led them to come knocking at the door.
A Niu, rather, is Xin You—the master of the Cui Xiao Mountain Villa, the Cui Xiao Envoy of the Poison Sect—who remains silent
"Cough, Old Li, what are you in such a hurry for? It's rare to have such a good job; if you don't take advantage of it, you would be letting yourself down!" Old Liu's cunning voice echoed ominously in Xiao Die's ears, making her shiver. "It's just about teaching that brat surnamed Zhou a lesson; is there really a need to be so flustered over such a trivial matter? I heard that the Zhou siblings received quite a bit of reward money from Prince Wei Yuan; we should take this opportunity to gain something for ourselves, right?"
Is that few plates of dim sum really lunch? ... How shabby ... . ... I originally planned to take a piece back for my brother, but now, it is more important to fill my own stomach first
"Rest assured, my benefactor," the burly man said with a smile, his face full of flesh appearing increasingly strange under the lights, "my people are always reliable in getting things done..."
What are you angry about? Xiao Die thought to herself, I have been left hanging by someone for a whole day, and I am not even upset!
It is truly rare to see someone as inquisitive as you, Wuxie! Your eyes are darting around, while your mouth remains hidden behind the teacup. I call this a rise in liver fire; I cannot speak too much, for once I do, I must drink water.
Wuxie turned around, his brows furrowing once again. His voice was neither hurried nor slow, but the words he spoke made the prefect tremble all over: "Are you getting old and losing your effectiveness? What have you managed to do in Yongzhou? Thieves have even stolen from me! This thief has the audacity of a leopard, and I cannot entirely blame you. But how long has it been since the crime occurred? You haven't even brought me a proper suspect! Recently, I have not been well and was too lazy to pick on your faults, so you thought it was fine for me to lose something here? But how long has it been since the crime occurred? You haven't even brought me a proper suspect! Recently, I have not been well and was too lazy to pick on your faults, so you thought it was fine for me to lose something here? I won't say much more, just one question: how many days until the case is closed?"
The envoy of the White Rainbow, Qu Guang, and the master of the Golden Light Cave, Yao Hui, have both had a brief encounter with Xiao Die. However, the Cui Xiao Mountain Manor has had little to no interaction with Xiao Die. Yet, those two villains fled in panic while shouting the name of the Cui Xiao Mountain Manor—what could have prompted this?
She was trembling and lost in thought when she heard Old Li exclaim in surprise, "Hey? Old Liu, what do you see over there?"
Old Liu dropped something from his hands onto the ground, but none of them went to pick it up; they simply fled like they had lost their souls, as if mad. It seems they were quite frightened. Xiao Die clearly heard Old Liu lose his balance while climbing over the wall, falling heavily to the ground and letting out a muffled cry of despair
Little Die perked up her ears and listened— "Doctor Ma has been kind to our boss, and a good man like our boss should certainly repay kindness. The Zhou siblings have hindered Doctor Ma's business, so... hehehe... I see there are quite a few things in this room; why don't we come in and see if there's anything valuable? After we tidy up, we can teach that kid a lesson— as long as we can get the job done... I don't think our boss is very enthusiastic about it either." I see there are quite a few things in this room; why don't we come in and see if there's anything valuable? After we tidy up, we can teach that kid a lesson— as long as we can get the job done... I don't think our boss is very enthusiastic about it either.
When she first arrived, she was radiant and composed, sipping tea with ease; then she became restless, pacing back and forth; next, she craned her neck, furrowing her brow and glancing around, wanting to move about but hesitating; afterward, she idly teased the fish in the lake; later, she seemed unable to withstand her hunger, devouring the snacks completely; now, she appears exhausted, sitting on the steps in a daze
Little Die counted her heartbeat, knowing that she had not yet been enchanted.
It is not easy to leave now! Xiao Feng shook his head, saying, "We have assets now—if you leave, what will happen to this house?"
"Master..." Xin You uneasily replied, "Why bother to argue with a woman."
Jingyuan is standing by the window, admiring the distant silk waterfall
The surroundings fell silent
The third small package seems to contain the "Buyao" from the Golden Light Cave, a peculiar poison that induces a state of dizziness without causing loss of consciousness— it appears that this old Liu is either a loyal returning customer of the Poison Sect or an enthusiast of collecting poisons. He has actually gathered so many signature items from the Poison Sect.
The governor seemed to be in a difficult position, stammering in defense: "Your Highness, this thief moves stealthily and does not commit crimes frequently, unlike the locals. If we are to conduct a thorough investigation, it may require sending out official documents to apprehend him in various prefectures..."
"Sister." Xiao Feng lazily leaned against Xiao Die's shoulder, "You really have a good mood! Applying medicine early in the morning while admiring the flowing clouds."
Ah! Just as she expected, Xiao Feng let out a strange cry and darted back into the room like an arrow. "My token! The token my master gave me! Could it be that someone has taken a liking to this treasure? ... Phew, fortunately, the token is still here ..."
But as soon as he got up, his head buzzed as if the entire sky was pressing down on him. Xiaodie could only see a dark blur in front of her, and her forehead collided with something hard, making a "crack" sound.
Xiao Die held her pillow tightly—inside it was all her secret savings, which even her older brother did not know about
The prefect immediately bowed down to the ground and trembled as he replied: "One month! One month! I assure you that I will bring the criminals to justice!"
Mao Mao immediately began to sweep the ground with its short white tail
Xiao Die nervously forgot to breathe—this was her first encounter with a night traveler since descending the mountain
The governor of Yongzhou, standing aside, truly did not understand why the young prince smiled so sinisterly. "Your Highness..." His goatee trembled, fearing that the cold smile was directed at him
Wow! Little Die splashed the dirty water from washing clothes into the gutter, shaking the wet sheets defiantly, "Losing a tooth is so unreasonable—I’ve been hungry all day!"
Xiao Die could not help but exclaim: the strength of the Poison Sect is truly formidable! A few years ago, it was merely a small sect beyond the pass, yet now it has monopolized all poison-related sects in the martial world—Yao Sect is probably the only exception... The Baihong Envoy from Baihong Pavilion and the Jinguang Envoy from Jinguang Cave were both renowned experts in poisons, yet they were easily brought under the Poison Sect's banner. It is said that they are now the pillars of the Poison Sect, holding significant status, albeit beneath the Sect Master and the three Elders, they are still prominent figures. Cuixiao Villa was one of the first to pledge allegiance to the Poison Sect, thus the Cuixiao Envoy's status is somewhat higher than that of the other two envoys.
Wuxie let out a sigh. Could it be that he would also behave like this when he grows old? Impossible! Although he is only nineteen years old, he has already experienced countless triumphs in life. What kind of glorious scenes has he not witnessed? How could he be compared to these old men who have never had the chance to achieve such greatness in their lifetime?
If we are having a hard time, we will leave! Xiao Die spoke with confidence, Is the world his to control? At worst, we will go to a place he cannot manage! It will only benefit those three old men.
Goodness, is this the "Hua Gong San" from the Cui Xiao Mountain Villa? Little Die stuck out her tongue. Cui Xiao Mountain Villa is the property of the Cui Xiao Envoy, one of the three great envoys of the Poison Sect. Their formula for "Hua Gong San" is said to be the most authentic in the martial world today
You today are particularly talkative! I won't tease you anymore. Let's get down to business! The three-year agreement with the old woman of the Medicine Sect is about to expire, so you all need to make some arrangements for me. We will set off in a few days
Little Die is very curious: what exactly did these two midnight visitors see
Cui Xiao Mountain Villa
Wuxie let out a cold laugh, "A month? You really are getting old. But your subordinates are still young and agile, so why do they need to delay for a month? Ten days!"
She felt a stir in her heart and widened her eyes
Xiao Die has not gone hungry for a long time— the last time seemed to be when she was around eight or nine years old, when she accidentally knocked over the medicine soup brewed by her master and was punished by being made to go without food for a day. However, her brother secretly sent her a steamed bun, so she did not truly suffer from hunger. This time, however, it is different: the gentle breeze around her seems to have stopped for a long time, the sounds in her ears seem to have vanished for a long time, and the scene before her is becoming increasingly dim— could it be evening already?
Xiao Feng had not slept so soundly in a long time. He contentedly stretched lazily under the sunlight and let out a long yawn. "Ahーーーー"
A faint white powder was blown into the room, quickly spreading throughout the space
Little Die lay under the quilt, waiting for the scent of the fragrant mist to dissipate. She truly could not understand how these two heroes suddenly remembered this title.
Inside the small package is precisely this segment of dark green Huagong San—such a precious poison can be carelessly discarded anywhere; this old Liu is truly too reckless
"She does not deserve to be that happy!" Jingyuan's tone was unexpectedly filled with rare jealousy. "No one in this world should be that happy! ... I can see that you are all protecting her. No one in this world deserves the protection of their enemies"
The paper on the window was punctured, and a tube extended in.
Other symptoms, Xiao Die can endure, but insomnia is what she detests the most. Whenever she cannot sleep, she involuntarily recites prescriptions, continuing until she herself becomes agitated
"Hmm? Why?" The burly man jumped up with his hands on his hips, "Could it be that they have three heads and six arms? Look at how scared you two are, like a couple of bears!"
"What?" Old Liu's hand, which was pushing the window, was lowered again
"There was a thief last night." Xiao Die, too lazy to engage in a convoluted discussion with him, struck at the heart of the matter with a single sentence, "You were knocked out by someone else's intoxicating fragrance"
The black man opened his mouth wide and heavily sat down on the chair, unexpectedly crushing it...
Three old monsters! Little Die gritted her teeth in her heart and muttered: Dare to stir up trouble on the head of the Tai Sui? Do you think knowing a few people from the underworld is something impressive? Let you see the means of this young lady
His vocal exercises were not yet in place when he saw his younger sister standing dazedly in the small courtyard, mouth agape, looking up at the sky. Noticing the light yellow ointment smeared around her eyes, he realized she had once again developed dark circles due to insomnia. He truly could not understand her thoughts: this ointment for eliminating dark circles costs about 2 taels of silver, while the calming powder costs approximately 3.5 taels of silver—yet she was willing to sacrifice her health for a price difference of merely 1.5 taels of silver.
Two or three small paper bags are hanging by the window. No need to ask: they are the evidence left by that old Liu
Little Die curiously picked it up and turned it over, examining it from all angles—depicted on it was the emblem of Cui Xiao Mountain Villa: green peaks partially shrouded in floating clouds
Zhou Xiaodie! (He will remember this name clearly this time and will not forget it) I must not let you off easily
The last time they met, she looked down from a height at her own weak and wretched condition. Although her words were respectful, her tone was clearly laced with disdain—she despised his illness and looked down on him as a person! ... Wuxie had never expected such a mundane individual to truly understand the root of his illness. However, being looked down upon by a mere mortal was something Wuxie could not tolerate.
Before he could finish his sentence, they heard chaotic footsteps coming from the front yard. Liu San and Li Shiyi stumbled in, exclaiming, "Old, old, old, big!"
Old Liu, how does the boss have the leisure to trouble this kid?
"No flaws," Xie Wuque asked while shaking his fan, "Why is it that whenever we ask you something, you just pick up your cup to drink tea? Your answers are so vague that we can hardly hear them!"
Cui Xiao Mountain Villa
It is simply unbelievable: this woman standing instead of kneeling is already quite rude. He had just opened his mouth, not yet able to scold her in anger, when she unexpectedly... fell straight down onto his front teeth, as if she had aimed for it in advance
Communicating with the old men is indeed so difficult
"Is there such a disease?" Jun Buyi raised an eyebrow, exchanging a glance with Xie Wuqie, completely unconvinced. "Wuxie, if a minor illness is not treated early, it could develop into a serious one, and that would be unfortunate"
"You are very punctual." He did not turn around. "You did not bring her back."
In stark contrast to the clear skies of Yongzhou, Cuixiao Mountain is shrouded in a misty rain.
"Uh?" Xiao Die's eyes nearly popped out. "Brother, what kind of dog is this? It's not even as big as a rat! It can guard the door?! You, you still call yourself... 'Big Brother'?"
"I haven't lost any of my things." Xiao Die raised her eyebrows and simply provoked her brother a little, "As for your things... I wouldn't know."
"Yes, yes," Xiao Feng replied honestly, "Sister, please take care as you go."
Xiao Die fell silent, and after a long while, she said with frustration: "At that time, I was really too impulsive, exchanging a large sum of silver for such a huge dead thing. I can't carry it away, nor can I move it..."
Wuxie was taken aback, unable to suppress a gasp, and with a "gulp," swallowed something down into his stomach
"Clickーー"
Jingyuan's shoulders trembled slightly, as if he had smiled, and said: "This is your choice. I am not surprised at all. Did you tell her your identity? I guess you didn't, right?"
She waited quietly, as if a small crack was gradually opening in her scalp, the pain intensifying—the aftereffects of insomnia began to manifest. But Xiaodie was completely on edge, listening to the sounds around her: in the distance, the faint barking of dogs could be heard; her older brother next door was snoring blissfully, mumbling in his sleep ("Good wine! Mmm, good!")—this is what they call "fools have their own blessings"...
The morning sunlight is the most refreshing.
Old Liu recalled something and rummaged through his pockets, pulling out quite a few items. The two of them, using the moonlight, looked up and compared the items that Old Liu had found with the marks they had seen, and they exclaimed in unison:
"I am not like some people who sleep as if they are dead! They wouldn't even know if the sky were to fall." Xiao Die shot her brother a fierce glare, her tone quite unfriendly
In the brightly lit hall, Ma Yourong sat in the main seat, drinking tea with a sturdy black man
"The sovereign has always known me." Xin Youyi bowed slightly and paid his respects
Ma Yourong wore a smile on his face and said, "It is of no consequence, it is of no consequence; true heroes in the martial world do not concern themselves with trivial matters!"
Put it away first! Little Die greedily tucked the small bag into her bosom. They came to steal, do they really dare to come and ask me for evidence? Surviving a great disaster surely brings future blessings—indeed, this bag of transformation powder is worth at least seven or eight taels of gold.
Little Die stood up stealthily, tiptoeing as she opened the door—almost as if she were the one committing a theft
"You should just stay here and think of a way to turn things around!" Xiao Feng looked around as if searching for something, "Sister, I followed your instructions and found a guard dog—it might have gone out for a stroll. I will introduce it to you later"
Xiao Die called out hesitantly, "Mao Mao!"
They, they are the people of Cuixiao Mountain Manor
Little Die wore a strange smile on her face, coldly humming as she stepped through the gates of the Wei Yuan Wang Mansion
The person outside seems to be keeping track of time as well. In no time, he appeared to lean close to the window to listen, shaking his head and exclaiming, "The enchanting fragrance must use the formula from Baihong Pavilion! It takes effect immediately with just one blow, no other enchanting fragrance can compare!"
Xiao Feng immediately crouched down and gently called out, "Mao Mao! Mao Mao! Come here to big brother!" The puppy obediently nuzzled up to Xiao Feng's side, friendly licking his palm
"How could she possibly be worthy to be my Poison Sect's enemy?" Xin You hurriedly smiled and said, "The Sect Master is busy with countless affairs every day; why bother to let such a trivial matter weigh on your mind and add to your troubles?"
The Night Wanderer seems to have subtly conveyed Xiaodie’s thoughts to Old Li, but unfortunately, he is unaware and can only seek confirmation from Old Liu
You all..." Wuxie slightly lowered his head, deliberately avoiding the gaze of his two close friends, deeply regretting his poor choice in friends. But before he could utter a third word, Xie Wuqing pinched his nose, while Jun Buyi supported his chin.
As the saying goes: "The people are not in harmony, and the officials are in conflict." Today, I will secure the support of Prince Weiyuan, this pillar of strength, to deal with you! No, one should not harbor malicious intentions; an eye for an eye is sufficient—drive you out of Yongzhou!
Ah—no flaws! Your teeth... pfft—
Mao Mao is still a child! Its mother is that fierce dog from the butcher's house, which is even more ferocious than a wolf! Xiao Feng stroked the puppy's back, taking out two pieces of broken steamed bun to feed it, "It is very obedient, just try calling its name, and it will be very friendly with you!"
She silently reached into the pillow, moved aside her secret stash, and took out a small jade box—inside was the purple jade dragon blood mud secretly taught by her master. This substance is a fine powder made from dozens of medicinal herbs, mixed with wine and seven or eight kinds of herbal tinctures. It must be kept together with crushed silver and stored in the jade box with wine to maintain its efficacy. It has miraculous effects on all forms of unconsciousness and apparent death.

"Wuxie, why do I feel that your tea is better than ours? The aroma is completely different!" Jun Buyi walked over to Wuxie with small steps. His name is "Buyi," but he is the most suspicious of all.
You cannot compare to the prince's teeth even if you go hungry for a month! Xiao Feng hung the clothes and bed sheets one by one on the line, constantly sighing: "Having offended the prince, do we still have good days ahead?"
Xie Wuqiu also moved closer to Wu Xie, with Jun Buyi on the left and right, closely watching Wu Xie's mouth
Rose cake, almond tea, lily pastry, fairy rice pudding, rock candy three whites, crab roe cake, longevity cake, mung bean cake, lotus seed cake, butterfly roll, hydrangea roll ... ... When the last piece of osmanthus cake, the last red fruit, the last slice of melon strip, and the last seed disappear, Xiao Die begins to doubt: does Prince Weiyuan even remember that there is a living person still waiting here, having not eaten lunch ... ...
Oh no—they're coming in! Xiao Die thought it was not good, and she shrank back into the bed, beginning to regret it. From the tone of their voices, it seemed that these two heroes did not intend to make things too difficult for the siblings. However, what if they discovered that she was not enchanted and harbored malicious intentions, leading to a potential murder to silence her? ... If she had known earlier, it would have been better to be enchanted and muddle through the crisis in a daze...
Xiao Die was taken aback for a moment and exclaimed: "Brother, no wonder you found it—this is fate! You are simply cut from the same mold!"
When she first arrived, she looked at the snacks on the table with great excitement, fearing that the prince would summon her too soon, leaving her no time to savor each item carefully. However, as the sun moved across the sky, the maid who had brought her disappeared, and there was no sign of anyone else—lunch time quietly slipped away... In this vast royal residence, it seemed as if she was the only one left, abandoned alone in this small pavilion in the middle of the lake. Little Die did not dare to wander around—what if she accidentally saw something she should not? In this vast royal residence, it seemed as if she was the only one left, abandoned alone in this small pavilion in the middle of the lake. Little Die did not dare to wander around—what if she accidentally saw something she should not? She did not want to lose her life out of curiosity.
This small courtyard, which was originally so crowded, has suddenly become spacious, making Xiaodie feel unaccustomed—she is used to a regular life, and any change in that routine inevitably triggers a series of adverse reactions... For instance: feelings of insecurity, insomnia, and so on...
Is that token valuable? Xiao Die felt a moment of disdain in her heart, fearing that it was not worth someone using the expensive Poison Sect's enchanting fragrance to steal it
"To curry favor with those in power" sounds quite shameless, yet putting such shameless behavior into practice is not simply a matter of being willing to bow and scrape. For instance, Zhou Xiaodie, although she was determined to seek shelter under the great tree of the "Wei Yuan Wang" in the legitimate world, was not offered any good place; instead, she was left with a cold bench to wait on... Zhou Xiaodie's enthusiasm and impulse were immediately dampened.

Zhou Xiaodie's enthusiasm and impulse were immediately dampened.
So it turns out they came to find her brother... I wonder what that troublesome older brother has done this time... Next door! Next door! — Little Die anxiously shouted in her heart, truly hoping that a night-wandering deity would guide these two heroes in the right direction
This sentence guarantees the settlement of the third resident in this small courtyard
Three years ago, Xiao Die resolved the poison of the Poison Sect, forcing the Medicine Sect to accept the challenge. Ren Feiqing and Jing Yuan agreed to compete in medicine preparation for three years, and now the day of reckoning is at hand
"Old Liu, everyone is captivated, who are you trying to impress?" Another figure approached and patted this person's shoulder, "I have taken care of things on my end as well. Which room is that kid with the surname Zhou in?"
"Brother, today is the day I return to the Wei Yuan Wang Mansion for a follow-up appointment." Xiao Die's words suddenly gave Xiao Feng a very bad premonition, as he felt that when she ominously uttered the words "Wei Yuan Wang," someone was bound to have misfortune... "Just find any dog from wherever! It is absolutely impossible to rely on you for guarding the house!"
But what did they actually see
Heavens! Tomorrow, Prince Xuan Ning and Prince Zhen Yuan are coming to visit me, who has just recovered from a serious illness! How am I supposed to face them!
This is your business!" Without any interest, he waved his hand and said, "Bring the thief to see me in ten days!"
Xiao Die tilted her neck and carefully observed along the eaves. There was nothing at all! What on earth frightened these two midnight visitors to the point of losing control?
"Do not doubt, my esteemed brother, how could this be the case! Am I the kind of person who would harbor such thoughts?" Before Wuxie could finish his words, Junbuyi reached out, took Wuxie's teacup, yet his eyes did not leave Wuxie's mouth.
Little Die could not help but stifle a smile as she went to look at the second small package—Baihong Pavilion's enchanting fragrance, which clearly stated: "Three qian of enchanting fragrance, shelf life of two years"
They unabashedly sneered, causing Wuxie’s face to turn both pale and flushed.
Xie Wuque and Jun Buyi glanced at Wu Xie drinking tea from the corner of their eyes: his tea bowl seemed a bit larger, almost able to cover half of his face...! ... This is unusual, too unusual!
He rubbed his chest and stepped out again with a calm demeanor, saying, "Don't worry, everything valuable is here."
Oh! It truly reflects the old saying: a dog's eye looks down on people! Upon seeing its demeanor, Xiaodie felt a surge of anger. "What are you? Just a dog, right?" She snatched the bun from Xiaofeng's hand and waved it menacingly in front of the dog, "Let me tell you, you better understand who is in charge of this household! If you don't learn to wag your tail at me before dinner today, just wait to go hungry!"
The burly man furrowed his brow and shouted, "Why is there such a lack of decorum? I have esteemed guests here, and look at your behavior!"
Wuxie smiled. He intended to bring this woman's arrogance down a notch
Little Die naturally could not see him, nor would she think that among the well-arranged shadows of the bamboo, that quaint little hall was the place where the prince took his afternoon leisure and rest
It seems that both Old Li and Old Liu have quite a background, and there is even a "big brother" behind them! I wonder who this big brother is, to be stirred up by a clumsy doctor like Old Ma to come and trouble her. Xiao Die pouted, saying, I do not exorcise demons and eliminate monsters, yet demons and monsters come to bully me. Let's wait and see
The dog is smarter than Xiaodie imagined
Liu San and Li Shiyi, however, paid no attention to the old man, their faces filled with fear. They ran back from the backyard of Tai'an Hall, their legs weak and trembling, still not recovered from the shock, gasping for breath as they said: "The Zhou siblings must not be touched"
Wuxie had firmly decided: if her medicine proved ineffective, he would immediately accuse her of being misdiagnosed by a quack doctor, to give her a taste of her own medicine. However, it seemed that the herbal remedy still had some effect. He was a person who valued reason and could not distort right and wrong. Nevertheless, Wuxie had already planned that when they met again, he would surely strip her of all her sharpness, and then make a grand entrance, full of vigor and spirit, compelling her to endure in silence and look up to him! He would use her listlessness to highlight his own heroic demeanor—he was the Prince of Weiyuan, and no commoner could hold their head high in front of him!
Jingyuan seemed to have some regrets, "What a pity... I really want to see what her expression would be when she finds out she has been deceived—she actually fell asleep peacefully while we were having dinner together! If she knew that the table was full of people from the Poison Sect, would she still be so at ease? At that moment, I wanted to shout to her: you fool, being so honest after being deceived! ... What a pity! What a pity! If I had the chance, I would really like to shatter the perfect world she has in her heart!"
In a sea of golden light, there seemed to be a vague figure. As she watched him circle and sway not far away, Xiao Die felt even dizzier. When he finally stood before her, his cold, sharp lines seemed to emanate an imposing anger
A vague black figure is lurking at the window, seemingly spying.
This mark seems familiar..." Old Li said slowly, as if trying hard to recall.
I have made a profit! I have made a profit! This bag is worth at least four or five taels of silver. Although it cannot be compared to the transformation powder, Butterfly does not despise anything that comes for free.
Is there a thief
Wuxie pursed his lips and smiled awkwardly, then picked up the tea bowl and mumbled, "It's nothing, it's nothing, it will be fine in three to five days." If he hadn't gone to the doctor, he wouldn't have been this unfortunate! Now, not only does he have to spend three hundred taels of silver on dentures, but he also has to let these two clowns spread this joke around. How can he hold his head up high?
Look at how prosperous they are! Even a night thief has hoarded two or three doses of poison from the Poison Sect. I really can't imagine how much silver the Poison Sect earns in a year. Xiao Die couldn't help but shake her head in silence. If it weren't for her master retreating from the martial world, this glorious role would have belonged to the Medicine Sect twenty years ago. How could it fall to such a junior as the Poison Sect to suddenly rise?
Aside from counting the lion railings on the Nine-Bend Bridge and playfully waving the willow branches that drift along with the water to tease the koi in the lake, Xiaodie could think of no other way to pass the time
Every time she says to herself, "Why not get up and prepare a soothing herbal remedy?" However, considering the essential expensive ingredient in the remedy—if sold, it could net three or four taels of silver! It would be too wasteful to use it for herself. So she always tells herself: Isn't it just insomnia? Just treat it as staying up late to review her studies.
She stood up unsteadily from the steps, her eyes fixed on the other person's dark gaze—she did not like sitting while the other stood—it created too much of a sense of oppression
Few people know that the front teeth of the Prince of Wei Yuan were once broken in battle, and later repaired with powdered pearl and ivory—however, this has all become a thing of the past. Now, he, the dignified Prince of Wei Yuan, a handsome man with a graceful demeanor, has once again become a person without front teeth
The window paper gradually turns white, and no one returns
