Shocking Venomous Consort: Frivolous Miss

Chapter 697 - Thank You



Chapter 697: Thank You

By the time she returned to the courtyard, Fu Huayi had already removed the poison. Seeing that it was already quite late, she got up to bid everyone farewell.

Standing by the gate of the courtyard, Fu Huayi looked at Ling Chuxi with tears in her eyes, reluctant to leave. After a while, she said softly, “Thank you.”

“If you feel unsettled, come and find me,” Ling Chuxi said with a smile, rubbing Fu Huayi’s hair into a bird’s nest like in the past.

“Alright, Master.” Tears glimmered in Fu Huayi’s eyes, but her smile was as beautiful as a blooming flower.

Nearby, Xia Zhuoyi looked at Ling Chuxi gratefully. This was the first time in a while that he had seen Fu Huayi’s smile. His heart broke when he watched her put on a mask of cold detachment everyday, seeing how lonely she was when she was alone.

“Accompany her more,” Ling Chuxi said to Xia Zhuoyi.

“Alright.” Xia Zhuoyi solemnly nodded.

Their two figures slowly disappeared into a distance, and the coldness returned to Fu Huayi’s face, but there was a hint of warmth in her gaze.

After Mo Kongyuan and the others left, Ling Chuxi stayed back. The courtyard was quite a distance from the capital, and buying a roasted duck for a good meal also required her to get on a carriage for some time. To other people, being able to stay in a dignified guardian’s house was a great honor, but to a foodie, it was troublesome.

However after she saw Mo Kongyuan’s pill refining room, Ling Chuxi changed her mind. All these years, while travelling around and eating free meals, Mo Kongyuan had actually collected quite a bit of good stuff. Rare plants and odd grasses were stuffed into half of the house, and even Su Yizhi had been speechless when he saw it. Although Rejuvenation Valley also had quite a number of rare herbs, due to the weather there, some herbs could not be planted. At Mo Kongyuan’s place, loads of rare herbs could be found.

“Ruining such precious things! I had better just use them all for pill refinement!” Ling Chuxi saw the herbs that were organized neatly and felt her heart clench. In the end, she decided to turn Mo Kongyuan’s trash into her treasure and refine them into pills… or poison.

Hearing Ling Chuxi’s lament, Su Yizhi rolled his eyes. Other people arranged such herbs according to their types and even his herbs in Rejuvenation Valley were not necessarily kept that well. How exactly did she see that Mo Kongyuan was ruining things? She had even said it so righteously.

Waves of pill fragrance frequently flooded the garden. The rare herbs Mo Kongyuan used decades to gather also quickly disappeared.

Although Mo Kongyuan and the rest had left, the garden was not cold and deserted for long. Ling Yichen, Fu Chengyu, Baili Han, Lan Xinyu and the others all came over. The good friends had not met for so long, so it was only natural that they had many things to talk about.

“Chuxi, this is the Purple Heart Radish and the Seven Leaf Lotus you asked me to find, along with other more common herbs. I’ve brought them all over, have a look and see if that’s enough. If it isn’t enough, I’ll try to find some more.” The one who spoke was Gao Wentian. After a dangerous encounter along the way last time, Gao Wentian and Ling Chuxi had also become friends.

The herbs that Mo Kongyuan kept were mostly rare, and if one was to really refine pills, other herbs were still needed as supplements. For this, Ling Chuxi had sought out Gao Wentian.

Gao Wentian naturally did not decline and only used half a day to prepare them all, even personally delivering them to her.

“Ah yes, it’s more than enough. I have troubled you again,” Ling Chuxi said apologetically as she took out some gold notes.

“Chuxi, we are friends, there’s no need for this.” Gao Wentian immediately rejected the money.
