The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 320 - 192: Realization
Having said that, she spun around lightly and walked out of Chen Mansion leisurely, with Tu Jin closely following behind.
She was never one to be manipulated by others. This time, suffering unwarranted grievances, if not for getting involved with the Cloud Tiger Trading Team, her attitude towards this family would have been much tougher.
In such a grand mansion, yet no one dared to come forward to keep her.
The next afternoon, as she was drinking tea, news from Chen Mansion came through the Cloud Tiger Trading Team.
The mishap occurred in Central Province. Chen Mansion had entrusted the Qingfeng Trading Company’s merchant team to go to Yuan Chun Hall in Central Province to purchase medicines. At that time, the Cold Fragrance Pills were sold out, and the medicine shop said they would restock in ten days, but the merchant team had to leave in five days. With no other options, the person responsible for procurement went to another medicine shop and bought the Cold Fragrance Pills, then pretended they were from Yuan Chun Hall and delivered them to Chen Mansion after returning to Anping City.
The medicine shop’s Cold Fragrance Pills contained a slight amount of Mercury, and were also quite effective. However, the departed merchant team was unaware that this medicine had only been sold locally for half a year before supply ceased! It turned out that someone finally discovered the medicine was toxic.
For Master Chen, this was a case of "trouble comes from Heaven while sitting quietly at home". However, the only person more miserable than him was Xia Banhua! He led the team that went to Central Province to purchase the medicines, and the guy responsible for procurement was his brother-in-law, so the goods were brought back without a careful check.
This matter, going round and round, ended up circling back to Qingfeng Trading Company, only the culprit changed from Deng Hao to Xia Banhua. It’s said that upon receiving the news, this tower-like man’s face went pale on the spot.
The Cloud Tiger Trading Team was as cheerful as if it were New Year’s Day. The person who tried to trip them was finally met with great loss, what could be more satisfying than that? Xia Banhua, of course, would bear a grudge against the Cloud Tiger Trading Team and Deng Hao, but what did that matter? As long as those they offended were not Master Fu Chang’an, why would these men, who lived by the knife’s edge, care so much?
Chen Mansion also entrusted the Cloud Tiger Trading Team to give Ning Xiaoxian one hundred gold coins, stating it was compensation for leaking her exclusive secret formula. However, she was aware that if she had not revealed her trump card at the last moment, how would Chen Mansion be willing to part with this money?
The next morning, as she presented the Moonlight Cup with condensed spiritual dew to Changtian, he sensitively detected her somewhat low spirits.
"What’s the matter?" She didn’t seem like someone who typically wallows in melancholy.
She was listless: "It’s just so boring."
He extended his hand and gently stroked the top of her head, seeing her unconsciously squint her eyes like a cat enjoying his caress, his lips couldn’t help but curl up slightly, but she was looking at the floor and didn’t see. This girl had unconsciously become accustomed to his touch, which was a good thing.
"Tell me." He wanted to hear more.
She pouted and said, "Yesterday, after settling the incident for the Cloud Tiger Trading Team, I thought I would feel very imposing and happy."
"Weren’t you triumphant when you left Chen Mansion yesterday? You even had a smile that couldn’t be suppressed after entering God Demon Prison."
"I was at first..." she sighed, "but not more than two hours later, I suddenly felt... felt that there was nothing in this whole affair worth being proud of, it was all just so bland!"
"That artificial mountain and fountain in Chen Mansion looked so beautiful, but I just couldn’t get interested; yesterday I also witnessed the scheming within Chen Mansion, but I really couldn’t be bothered to think about it. It all seemed so... low-level."
The moment the word ’low-level’ popped out, she was stunned for a while. She was also a mortal, yet just because she was about to step onto the Immortal Path, she felt her compatriots were too low-tier? 𝕗𝕣𝐞𝐞𝘄𝐞𝚋𝚗𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗹.𝚌𝕠𝚖
Seeing her confused expression, Changtian gently exerted some pressure with his hand, and she obediently leaned into his embrace. This warm and increasingly plump body was indeed very comfortable to hold.
"Hah, that just means, mortal life can no longer satisfy you." He chuckled softly in her ear, and her face inevitably turned red. Satisfied? This term was too provocative.
His fingers moved to the back of her neck, softly kneading with perfect control. She was so comfortable that she softly moaned "Hmm."
"I’ll show you, then you’ll understand." He extended his other palm, the slender and rounded fingertips shimmered with silvery Divine Power, captivating with a sprinkling of stars, which then formed a tapestry. Two breaths later, the tapestry became clearer, and the scenery within the tapestry started to move.
