Chapter 362: Chapter 75: Besides being rich and handsome, what else do you have_3

"Lei Yanyun, Shouye is not a member of your family, nor are you part of the Wang Family." Huangfu Qianqian’s eyes displayed anger as she spoke, "Conflicts between Noble Families are inevitable, but they can’t influence the sacred feelings I have with Shouye."

The conversation between these two girls implies they both have impressive backgrounds. One is from the Huangfu Family, while the other is from the Lei Family.

It seems Wang Shouye has more admirers than just these two, but those of lesser backgrounds have already been squeezed out. As for these two, with similar standings, neither is willing to back down to the other.

Here we go again!

Middle-aged Alchemists Jia and Yi, witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but shake their heads in secret.

Young girls these days really have no sense of shame.

When they were young, girls were so reserved and modest. Forget chasing after boys—when they diligently pursued a girl, she wouldn’t spare them a glance.

Alas~~ times have changed, people are no longer as they used to be.

Huangfu Qianqian and Lei Yanyun both had eyes full of intense hostility.

Then, each had an accompanying person unfurl a banner they had prepared.

Each banner read:

"Congratulations to Shouye on becoming the youngest outstanding Tier One Alchemist of Changning Guard."

"Best wishes to Shouye on becoming the youngest Tier Two Alchemist of Changning Guard soon."

The two girls then stared each other down, full of mutual hostility.

Wang Shouye, having heard the news, hurried out, bowing his thanks to both young ladies. He repeatedly declared that he was still a beginner in alchemy and unworthy of the word "outstanding," ashamed because of their misplaced affection.

"Shouye, I heard you’re going to start refining Tier Two Peiyuan Pills," Huangfu Qianqian said. "I don’t have much to support you with, but take these few Centennial Purple-leafed Polygonum multiflorum to practice."

"Shouye, don’t take her stuff," Lei Yanyun advised, "The Celestial Person Huangfu Family is too shrewd. They might just trick you one day. Shouye, why not come to our Lei’s Pill Workshop? My grandfather admires you, and he promises to teach you well."

"Lei Yanyun, you’re speaking nonsense." Huangfu Qianqian stomped angrily, "It seems you’re the one with ill intentions, trying to lure Shouye into your family."

"I didn’t say Shouye should marry into our family; I just want to help him."

"You have ulterior motives, surely plotting step by step. I’m not like that; even if Shouye asks me to elope, I’d do it."

Their exchange left middle-aged Alchemists Jia and Yi exchanging serious glances, shaking their heads heavily; times have changed, times have changed.

Now, however, they dared not speak ill of Wang Shouye.

A bald alchemist in the Pill Workshop had once been ambushed by those girls.

Wang Shouye felt deeply troubled; he only wished to quietly learn alchemy, but how could it be so difficult? These young ladies were just too troublesome.

As he lamented.

A slightly hoarse yet charming voice reached his ears: "Hehe~~ Shouye, you’re quite the busy one." As she spoke, a graceful silhouette dashed inside Xu’s Pill Workshop.

She arrived like a whirlwind, sweeping through the entrance of Xu’s Pill Workshop.

Middle-aged Alchemists Jia and Yi, and some casual guests, stared wide-eyed.

The woman wore a black cloak over red armor, her figure tall and agile. Her fiery red Black Tortoise-style outfit was crafted not from Spiritual Silkworm Silk but from the leather of a Tier Three Fire Demon Beast.

The red leather armor was not new, bearing marks of claws or tearing by some beast. Yet she clearly cherished her battle armor, with parts treated and regularly maintained, giving a faint sheen of polish.

A long sword hung from her waist, with a scabbard of sanded leather worn but clean, the handle glossy from frequent use. This sword was evidently not a mere accessory but a true weapon.

Beneath her flowing black cloak, her long, white neck bore a scar from a claw. This complemented her graceful demeanor with a palpable air of danger.

"This is..." 𝘧𝓇ℯ𝑒𝓌𝑒𝑏𝓃𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭.𝒸ℴ𝓂

Seeing the friendly greeting to Shouye from this woman, Huangfu Qianqian and Lei Yanyun immediately reacted as if confronted by a formidable adversary, their expressions growing severe and tense.

This woman was both agile and beautiful with a wild charm, resembling a hunting leopardess, exuding an indescribable mature allure.

She starkly contrasted the sheltered Noble Family girls of Changning Guard, her demeanor vastly different.

Upon seeing her, Wang Shouye’s eyes lit up, yet before he could speak, she seized his arm, pulling him inside, affectionately saying, "Shouye, I’ve come this time for something important. Let’s go to your room to talk."

As they watched Wang Shouye being led away forcefully.

The two noble young women exchanged glances, feeling both outraged and threatened. Compared to the mature allure of this new woman, they felt suddenly like undeveloped girls.

She was in a league beyond the admirers they had previously chased away.

As their eyes met, they understood each other’s intent: first deal with external threats, then internal ones. Resolute, they followed her inside.

Middle-aged Alchemists Jia and Yi were left wide-eyed.

Such indecency, such indecency.

Why weren’t there any girls indecent towards them?

What makes Wang Shouye so special?

Is it just a good family background?

Good looks?

And being very wealthy?

Hmph, what’s so remarkable about that!

Middle-aged Alchemists Jia and Yi were increasingly indignant and sorrowful, wondering why the disparity between people had to be so vast.
