Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 466 Hu Lai

Xia Mian made up her mind and immediately asked Ding Cheng to prepare the herbs she needed.

While Xia Mian was decisively planning to refine medicine, Xia Weizhang returned to the auction house.

Upon hearing the news that Xia Mian had come to the auction house, Xia Weizhang rushed back almost nonstop.

When he returned to the auction house, he still carried the dust of travel on him.

There were a few holes in his clothes, as if he’d been through a great battle with something, leaving marks of the fight.

Seeing Xia Weizhang in such a state, Ding Cheng’s expression changed slightly and he hurried over, "What happened to you? Are you hurt?"

The concern in his eyes was unmistakable.

Seeing Ding Cheng’s attitude, Xia Mian couldn’t help but squint her eyes slightly. It seemed the two of them had already pierced that layer of window paper; good things were coming!

Xia Weizhang scratched his head and laughed, "Nothing, I was in a hurry and my clothes got torn by the branches on the mountain."

Ding Cheng pressed his lips together in silence, the worried look on his face not fading in the slightest.

"I made a new set of clothes for you, try them on later," Ding Cheng whispered in Xia Weizhang’s ear.

Xia Weizhang felt a bit embarrassed.

Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan were still here; was his intimacy with Ding Cheng appropriate?

But Lu Zechuan and Xia Mian seemed not to notice anything amiss.

Xia Mian even lazily yawned, "Take me somewhere quiet and bring over all the herbs I need."

As for the little matter between Xia Weizhang and Ding Cheng, she wasn’t too concerned.

Xia Weizhang responded distantly, "Is Miss Xia here this time to marry Mr. Lu?"

Xia Mian smiled and didn’t deny it.

Xia Weizhang was a member of the Divine Clan and helped her manage the auction house. Recently, with the Wood Clan Leader and Divine Clan Leader causing such a stir, it was normal for him to have heard something.

"Yes, in three days we’ll have the wedding ceremony in the Divine Clan," Xia Mian said with a slight, graceful smile.

"The day after, we will hold another ceremony in the Wood Clan," Lu Zechuan also smiled slightly, "So, you can choose a convenient time to attend our wedding ceremony."

Xia Weizhang replied with a smile, "We will definitely attend Miss Xia and Mr. Lu’s wedding."

Xia Mian smiled, stood up, and walked out, "I’m going to the alchemy room, deliver the herbs to me soon."

Lu Zechuan then followed behind Xia Mian, not leaving her side.

Watching Lu Zechuan and Xia Mian’s retreating figures leave the reception room, Ding Cheng finally heaved a sigh, "Miss Xia and Mr. Lu have such a great relationship."

Xia Weizhang raised his hand to hold Ding Cheng in his arms, "After some time, when I have some savings, we’ll settle our matters too."

Ding Cheng pressed his lips together, a faint smile appearing on his face.

"Speaking of which, our Wood Clan and your Divine Clan really have quite the fate," Ding Cheng chuckled lightly, changing the topic, "Take off that outfit, I’ll wash and mend it for you."

Xia Weizhang naturally took off his torn coat, the two of them moving as if they’d lived together as an old couple for years.

After Xia Weizhang took off his coat, he had someone deliver all the herbs Xia Mian needed to the alchemy room.

In the alchemy room, Lu Zechuan sat quietly watching Xia Mian conjure the Treasure Cauldron, then begin to mix the herbs right under his nose.

Watching Xia Mian’s actions in mixing herbs, and then looking at the finished mixture, Lu Zechuan’s eyes deepened.

Ever since he inherited the legacy from the Wood Clan Leader, he had gained quite some understanding of the Mystical World.

Xia Mian’s herb concoction seemed to be... that kind of medicine??!

Lu Zechuan felt his worldview crumbling; was she doubting his abilities?

But Xia Mian seemed unaware of Lu Zechuan’s anomaly, busy lighting the Treasure Cauldron and starting to focus on alchemy.

The Treasure Cauldron was a top-grade furnace, and Xia Mian’s level of alchemy was outstanding.

Where ordinary people might take half a month or more to refine elixirs, Xia Mian needed only one day.

In just one day, she could produce not just one batch of elixirs.

Even though Lu Zechuan knew of Xia Mian’s extraordinary talent, he was still deeply shocked by her efficiency.

Not only did Xia Mian refine multiple batches of elixirs, but they were also in a wide variety!

They all had different effects.

There were those enhancing beauty, strengthening the body, even others for adding private charm...

Lu Zechuan stared at all those bottles of elixirs, his complexion darkened.

"Mianmian, are you certain that people in this world need such elixirs?" Lu Zechuan couldn’t hold back, asking with a dark face.

Xia Mian chuckled softly, "I’m not really sure either."

After all, making these elixirs was just a whim, "It doesn’t matter if others need them; as long as I need them, it’s fine..."

"You need them?" Lu Zechuan uttered these three words meaningfully, giving her a deep look.

Aware she’d misspoken, Xia Mian quickly explained, "I mean, I need beauty enhancement and body strengthening..."

Lu Zechuan smiled lightly, "You’re already very beautiful."

Lu Zechuan affectionately ruffled Xia Mian’s hair, "To me, nobody is more beautiful than you."

Lu Zechuan spoke sincerely.

Xia Mian was originally very exquisite, and after arriving in the Mystical World, stimulated her innate spiritual power, nurtured by spiritual energy; now she was even more perfectly beautiful, exuding a rare otherworldly charm.

Looking at the few bottles of elixirs in her hand, Xia Mian said, "I’ll keep some, and have Xia Weizhang auction the rest, to see how they do in the auction. If it doesn’t work, we’ll try a different recipe next time."

Lu Zechuan opened his mouth, wanting to advise Xia Mian, but thought about it and decided against it.

After all, just because he didn’t need them, didn’t mean others wouldn’t.

"Are you tired? Shall we go for a walk?" Lu Zechuan suggested.

Although it was meant to be a relaxation outing, Lu Zechuan had ended up accompanying Xia Mian working all day, feeling a bit aggrieved.

Xia Mian nodded.

Xia Mian left the alchemy room, handed some of the elixirs to Xia Weizhang, and then went out with Lu Zechuan.

Gubei Town was a relatively large trade town; before, the Sea Market of the Octopus Monster had specifically opened nearby.

The streets of Gubei Town were home to many ordinary people without cultivation; they relied on their crafts to earn a modest living, barely getting by.

So, on the streets of this small town, Xia Mian could see handicrafts similar to what could be seen in the current world, as well as vendors selling candied haws, sugar figures, glutinous rice cakes, and other snacks.

Xia Mian took Lu Zechuan’s hand and stopped in front of a sugar figure vendor.

Looking at the lifelike sugar figures inserted in the straw stack in front of the vendor, she smiled and said, "Boss, can you make one of me and him?"

The elderly vendor slowly lifted his head, glanced at Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan, and his cloudy eyes showed a clear flash of amazement. It was unprecedented to see such a perfectly matched couple, and the owner was momentarily dazed.
