Chapter 147: Chapter 147 Zhao Xiyan is Not That Boring
Qi Yue observed intently and heaved yet another sigh.
These few did not seem trustable, yet they dared to consu her pills without fear of her harboring malicious intent.
Those dark pills, not even bothering to sll them?
Did they really treat her as their master?
“Master, now we’re good. If that Qing surna dares to co, I’ll go straight at him!” the chubby one patted his chest and declared.
The skinny one was not to be outdone, “Master, the one surnad Qing can’t be chopped to death, can he? Let’s bleed him dry and see if he can still live!”
“Right, just bleed him dry…”
Bleed him dry?
That was indeed a good idea.
Be it a person or so monster, without blood, they couldn’t survive.
Qi Yue nodded, studied them intently, and noticed although they had greatly recovered, they still suffered from symptoms of excessive blood loss. Without further ado, she took out four Coagulation Pills and handed them over with a grimace.
“Take one each of these too.”
The four of varying sizes eagerly took them, seeing that pill’s bluish gleam, clearly a sign of a fine thing.
Without asking what it was, they imdiately popped it into their mouths.
Qi Yue twitched her mouth, wondering, would they be as swift if she gave them each a Poison Pill?
Ah, her Coagulation Pill!
She priced it at fifty thousand taels of silver each!
This just cost her two hundred thousand!
Accounting for everything, these four protectors were bought at too high a price.
Wasn’t it agreed initially that no wages were required, just a jug of tea per day?
Her mind was in a ss as she thought of this, yet her eyes fixated on the four, observing the effects of the Coagulation Pill.
According to her test results, after consuming the pill, these four should have their vital energy replenished and their martial power greatly increased.
The reason they initially wanted to stay would no longer exist, and they should go off looking for their previous master.
At that ti, heh heh…
She should be able to get those two hundred thousand back, right!
Sure enough, after consuming the Coagulation Pill, the four imdiately knelt on the ground and collectively said, “Thank you, Master, for the dicine!”
“Master, we indeed lied before, we four were injured, not poisoned!”
“The master truly deserves the title of Divine Doctor, having already seen through our injuries and even specially concocted pills for us.”
“These pills are too powerful, Master. I feel like all my lost vital energy has returned. If I were to go into battle now, I could take down four hundred enemies.”
“It’s the sa for , Master’s dical skills are indeed rare in this world!”
“Ho, let Qing Nanzun, that old tortoise, co quickly. I can’t wait to deal with him!”
“I now have absolute confidence in protecting our Master!”
“Exactly, I feel like I could live to a hundred and protecting my Master is definitely within my capacities.”
“….”
The four of them buzzed with comnts, none showing any intention of leaving.
Qi Yue was puzzled as well; how had she co to perceive that these four intended to stay forever?
And she had just heard the chubby one ntion going into battle?
True, in these tis other than the conflicts in the Martial World, only battles would result in such severe aftermath of blood loss.
She should have realized earlier that these four were military n.
The military?
Could they be Zhao Xiyan’s n?
No no no, Zhao Xiyan was not that idle.
Besides, he knew she possessed Innate Divine Strength and even taught her a set of sword techniques for self-defense; how could he then send others to protect her?
If it was to protect anyone, it would be to protect his Lady Bai Shao.
Hu Keqing could be a possibility.
But these four clearly were not ordinary soldiers; could Hu Keqing, that weakling, command them?
Hu Chengxuan protecting her was already unexpected, and sending four people to protect her?
Don’t even dream about it.
Could they be deserters? It seed not, as just the other day they were walking the streets with her, boldly heading to the black market.
Speaking of the black market, Qi Yue suddenly had an idea.
Weren’t these four from the black market?
The people of the black market must know them very well. Now that they have taken the Coagulation Pills and are in good health, having them take the Coagulation Pills for appraisal at the black market would save many explanations and fetch a high price, wouldn’t it?
She hadn’t forgotten how they had offered a million for a single bottle of the Carefree Pill last ti!
Yes, this was the plan.
Thinking this, she pretended to enter the room to fetch dicine but actually went into a space, found a wooden box, and filled it with ten bottles of Carefree Pills and twenty Coagulation Pills.
“It’s still early; you two go to the black market and auction these dicines. Rember to tell the manager that I want the highest price,” she instructed.
Upon hearing this, the tall man and the fat man instantly shrank back.
“Master, who do you think should go?”
Qi Yue looked over the four of them.
“Let the short and the skinny ones go. Your injuries were the most severe, but you have recovered so quickly, all thanks to my pills. You two must get a good price,” she said.
The tall man and the fat man imdiately breathed a sigh of relief, nodding repeatedly.
“Master’s words are extrely apt; they are the best choice!”
The short and the skinny ones were unaware that they had upset Zhao Xiyan that morning, simply excited to carry out their master’s orders.
They took the box and hurriedly ran to the black market.
After waiting for a while in the room with the Luminous Pearl, Zhao Xiyan finally arrived.
When the short and the skinny ones saw him wrapped in an invisible layer of cold air, they imdiately understood that they had been tricked.
No wonder the tall man and the fat man were so eager for the two of them to go!
Apparently, the master was in a bad mood.
“Master.”
“The day is getting late. What are you doing here instead of staying inside?”
His voice bore no emotion, his hands still, like usual, clasped the Luminous Pearl, only to release it.
The room fluctuated between light and dark, casting Zhao Xiyan’s expressionless face.
The short and the skinny exchanged a glance, shivering.
The skinny one mustered courage, raised the box.”
“Master, Miss Qi Yue sent us,” he said.
The hand covering the Luminous Pearl instantly released, brightening the room, as Zhao Xiyan stared blankly from behind the desk and stood up.
“Does she know who you are?”
As the skinny one struggled to explain, the short one quickly stepped forward, placing the box on the table.
“Master, Miss Qi Yue sent us to the black market to handle so business. Didn’t you say that everything from Miss Qi Yue should be brought here to you?”
He deftly opened the box, pointed out the contents to Zhao Xiyan, and explained the situation again.
“Master, you lost a lot of blood trying to save us last ti. These Coagulation Pills are incredibly effective. You should take one as well,” he suggested.
“Oh,” Zhao Xiyan blankly sank back into his chair, staring at the box of dicine for a while before recovering.
In the past, her finest possessions were always reserved for him.
Now it seed he was not so special after all.
It was just that he happened to be by her side at that ti.
“You have all taken them, haven’t you?”
His voice was as if ironed, void of any emotional undertone.
The skinny and the short ones, seeing Zhao Xiyan appearing fairly normal, began to speak more.
“Yes, Miss Qi Yue said they were made from newly acquired fine dicinal materials. Seeing the four of us had that blood loss… sequela, she let us take them,” they explained.
“Master, Miss Qi Yue is truly a virtuous and benevolent healer, a rare kind woman in this world.”
“….”
