Romantic Medical Immortal-Chapter 258: Ye Ling’Er’s Background

"How could I possibly have Ye Ling’Er’s scent on me? Did you smell it wrong?"

Yang Cheng didn’t want Xu Yuexuan to know about what had just happened. He pretended to sniff his clothes and was instantly embarrassed.

It really seems like I do!

After all, while massaging, his palm had been moving around Ye Ling’Er’s body, so naturally, his clothes would brush against her skin.

It’s quite normal to pick up the scent!

He just hadn’t expected that Xu Yuexuan’s nose would be so sharp, catching the scent immediately.

"Impossible, I wouldn’t smell it wrong!"

While speaking, Xu Yuexuan leaned in closer to Yang Cheng’s body to sniff again, which made her more certain of her judgment. She immediately said, "No mistake, it’s her scent. I’m naturally sensitive to smells. Tell me, what exactly were you two doing in the store?"

Alright!

Seeing her so firm in her belief, Yang Cheng knew he couldn’t fool this woman with lies, so he said, "Actually, it wasn’t much. She wasn’t feeling well, so I treated her. Maybe I got the scent then."

As for the details of the treatment, Yang Cheng definitely wouldn’t disclose them.

Doing so could easily affect Ye Ling’Er’s reputation.

"Treated her, what illness?"

At this moment, Xu Yuexuan was like a curious baby, asking with a face full of curiosity.

"Sis, can’t you tone down your curiosity a bit? A patient’s illness is their privacy; you can’t just inquire about it randomly. It’s quite rude."

Yang Cheng pretended to be unhappy as he spoke.

"Alright!!"

Seeing Yang Cheng displeased, Xu Yuexuan lowered her head in grievance, saying, "Since you don’t want to say, I won’t ask anymore."

For a moment, Yang Cheng felt a bit soft-hearted. After all, the other party was also considered his woman. His tone softened a bit as he said, "Regarding her illness, I really can’t tell you, but after treating her, she gave me Linglong Grass for free."

"She really gave it to you for free?"

Shock appeared on Xu Yuexuan’s face. Initially, she thought Ye Ling’Er was just joking, since it’s a treasure worth tens of millions. But what she didn’t expect was that Ye Ling’Er actually gave the Linglong Grass to Yang Cheng for free.

After the shock, she murmured, "As expected from the Xiao Family’s heiress, she’s generous, truly something small people like us can’t compare to."

Small people?

Upon hearing this, Yang Cheng couldn’t help but exclaim at the irony. He knew that the largest pharmacy in Peach Blossom County belonged to the Xiao Family, and earlier when entering the underground black market’s negative second floor, Xu Yuexuan herself said only those worth over five billion could get in.

Someone worth five billion is considered a small person before the Xiao Family?

He couldn’t help but ask, "What sort of background does the Xiao Family have?"

"You don’t know?"

Xu Yuexuan looked at Yang Cheng with a peculiar gaze. To her, it seemed strange that Yang Cheng didn’t know this.

"I really don’t know, tell me." Yang Cheng smiled wryly.

"The Xiao Family is the richest and most well-connected family in Peach Blossom County, rising to prominence very quickly..." As she spoke, Xu Yuexuan suddenly thought of something and continued, "Oh, Ye Ling’Er’s mother is the richest person in Peach Blossom County."

"What?!"

Upon hearing this, Yang Cheng’s eyes widened. He never imagined the richest person in Peach Blossom County would be Ye Ling’Er’s mother.

That means his father actually owes Ye Ling’Er’s mother over a billion?

For a moment, Yang Cheng’s expression became quite complex. Originally, he intended to find a way to interact with the richest person after finishing his current tasks, but unexpectedly, he inadvertently became friends with her daughter.

The most crucial point was, he just touched the creditor’s daughter all over.

Fate, truly an indescribable wonder!

"Many people know about the Xiao Family being the richest in Peach Blossom; is it worth being so shocked?"

Seeing Yang Cheng’s over-the-top reaction, Xu Yuexuan couldn’t help but roll her eyes.

"Haha, I just returned to Peach Blossom County, and didn’t know about this!"

Yang Cheng used his laughter to cover his embarrassment. He didn’t mention his father’s debt of over a billion, as it wasn’t something noteworthy.

"Now that you know Ye Ling’Er, make sure to seize the opportunity and have a good relationship with her. Although the Xiao Family is just a small family in Peach Blossom County, their background is unfathomable. If you connect with this big ship, it will be greatly beneficial for your future."

Xu Yuexuan spoke with a very serious expression, addressing Yang Cheng.

"Oh? What kind of background?"

Yang Cheng was really curious.

"I don’t know the specifics; I only know Ye Ling’Er’s mother isn’t a local. There’s someone terrifyingly powerful behind her. From scratch, she became the richest person in Peach Blossom County in just three years."

"Although she’s very capable herself, to accomplish this, without immense support from behind, it’s impossible!"

"Moreover, I’ve heard even the county mayor gives her great respect, handing many policies and projects to her. Sometimes, if she doesn’t want to do them, those officials even beg her to take them on. You should be able to guess how deep her background is now!"

As she spoke, Xu Yuexuan kept glancing around cautiously, afraid of being overheard.

"I didn’t expect her background to be so strong!"

Yang Cheng couldn’t help but marvel inwardly; no wonder his father chose to sign a gambling agreement with her.

"So, just do as I say; I won’t harm you!"

Xu Yuexuan smiled slightly.

Yang Cheng nodded and said, "I got it. Let’s leave here now."

"Not going to look around?"

Xu Yuexuan pointed to the surrounding shops and said, "There are many good things in the underground black market; it’d be a shame to come once and leave without looking around."

Honestly, Yang Cheng wasn’t very interested in the things here. But seeing Xu Yuexuan so enthusiastic, he couldn’t refuse and agreed.

Just like that, the two began wandering through the stores in the underground black market.

After browsing a few shops, Xu Yuexuan didn’t find anything that interested her, so she intended to leave.

"Oh, wait a minute!!"

Just then, Yang Cheng was suddenly attracted to a corner shop, its small signboard bearing a large ’Poison’ character.

A shop specializing in selling poisons?

His eyes lit up as if seeing delicious food.

After absorbing ’Rat Source Qi,’ he possesses the ability to convert toxic substances into True Qi. As long as there’s a continuous source of poison, he can keep enhancing his strength.

Now having encountered a shop specializing in poisons, he must go in and have a look.

"Are you interested in poison?"

Xu Yuexuan noticed Yang Cheng’s gaze fixed on the ’Poison Shop,’ and subconsciously asked.

"Yes, let’s go check it out and buy some poison for self-defense!"

Yang Cheng nodded slightly, immediately pulling Xu Yuexuan along to check it out.

As they stepped into the shop, Yang Cheng saw a young man in his twenties seated at the counter. He wore a black robe similar in style to Ye Ling’Er’s, but didn’t have a mask on his face. He had short hair, good facial features, yet he looked extremely pale, even his lips had turned white.

His body was strong, but he seemed weak to the extreme, as if a gust of wind could blow him away.

"Hello, what are you looking for..."

Seeing someone enter, the young man immediately stood up; however, upon seeing Yang Cheng’s face, he was instantly stunned.

And when Yang Cheng saw the young man’s face clearly, he too felt dumbfounded!
