"Bam!" another pillar of Spiritual Energy rises up to the sky, indicating the completion of yet another batch of half-step Bone Experts advancing into the proper Bone Reconstruction Layer. There's only one last batch of experts is left before the others finally able to enjoy the miracle brought by the new Blood Genesis Pill.
Those Bronze and Silver Sycee holders have been waiting to the point they're growing impatient. So of them even went around, asking if those recently advanced experts had so of the pills to sell.
But unfortunate to them, Qin Lan's precaution made that not a single Blood Genesis Pill is exposed to the outside.
Because this was their only chance to keep the elent of surprise to themselves. By the ti the news about this miraculous pill hits the market, it will be too late for those intended to take advantage of them.
Even Peng Yan was no exception.
"Milady... I can't believe that you're still so calm after what this Alchemist Qin do to you... Shouldn't he offer this to you first after all the help you've given him?" one of her father's adjutant advisors, Wang Li-Kun, said as he slapped the tea table.
Sharing his sentint is Wang Li-Yuan, who is seated right beside him. The two of them were not in their mood because they felt they've been neglected from the ti the first batch of half-step experts have broken through.
And right now, the envoys from the Country of Wei were not the concern of the people stationed in this Demon Mountain Fort, but what happened to the Pill Hall is. Everyone is excited to the point they're blindly guessing the debut date of this miraculous pill to public use.
Since it was locally produced, they're hoping that the Pill Hall, established under his highness the ninth prince and Chief Alchemist Qin, is priced thoughtfully.
"Why are the two of you getting impatient before our young lady? Just wait for our own order instead of getting angry on her behalf. It won't do good to your health." Peng Yan's sidekick, the ssenger said. He was saying what he thinks while keeping a smile on his face.
"That's true... Then what do you think our young lady is thinking?" the two adjutants nodded. But after that, they're pointing at Peng Yan, who looks like daydreaming without a concern inside her mind.
"Milady?" the ssenger called.
She didn't respond to his call. Right now, her mind is still lingering in the ti while Qin Lan was touching one of her breasts accidentally.
'When will he co to again? Now I felt like I've yet to cultivate enough... How good will it be if he cos to daily to treat my symptoms?' there are over a hundred questions in her mind, and all of them were related to Qin Lan this, and Qin Lan that.
"Milady!" the ssenger called her a little louder.
"What?" Peng Yan turned to the ssenger and flicked his forehead for waking her up from her honey-coated daydream.
"Lady Zhou i is here. Do you want to et her?" the ssenger asked as he rubbed his forehead.
"Why not? Looks like there's sothing in her mind for her to co to in person." Peng Yan chuckled. After having two female servants to help her put on the robe, she walked out of her room with a proud air around her.
Looking at her smirking face, Zhou i had an urge to give her a slap for feeling irritated over her attitude. But since the two of them represent a faction on their back, no one tried to make things difficult for the other.
At least... For now.
"What brings you here today?" said Peng Yan as she adjusted her robe. Recently, she started to get herself dressed according to the fashion sense from the Country of Wu. The more she tried the dresses, the more she likes them.
"I was going to introduce you to..." Zhou i was going to speak, but soone interrupted her before she could.
"It seems that the envoy likes the design from our Qin Textiles a lot. I am here with a few other designs that you might fancy." Hu Jia appeared with a nacing appearance. Although there's no Spiritual Energy coming out from her, her words are still as sharp and fierce as ever.
"You're?" Peng Yan was stunned by Hu Jia's arrival. An invisible hint of oppression was pressuring her as she looks at how docile is Zhou i beside this woman. This made her rembered the word from the Wiseman told by her father daily as her life lesson.
(Even a dragon would have to follow the etiquette when it entered the den of snakes)
And in Peng Yan's case, how can soone without a proper status compete with her position as Qin Lan's legitimate wife?
"I am the wife of the current young patriarch of the Qin Family, Hu Jia." the words that were spoken without a hint of spiritual energy were heavier than a mountain. Peng Yan didn't expect to face Hu Jia this early in her battle to capture Qin Lan's heart.
"You-You're Qin Lan's wife?" a hint of suspicion is in her eyes as she scanned Hu Jia from head to toe. Except for the lacking of Spiritual Energy on her, she's indeed a rival on Peng Yan's mission to conquer the man called Qin Lan.
"Indeed."
"I'm also the owner of Qin-Jia Moonlight Pavilion, Qin Family Winery, Qin-Zhou dicine Store, Fuyun Spiritual Garden, Qin Textiles, Qin Pottery Workshop, and many more. They're all managed by ."
"Including the Demon Mountain's Pill Hall." Hu Jia added a smile at the end of her last sentence. This bound to hit her harder than everything else.
'YES!' Zhou i almost shouted out as she witnesses how Hu Jia handled Peng Yan.
"So... It's sister Hu Jia. Seeing the actual person is much more than just listening to what you've done for the Qin Family. I am Peng Yan, the daughter of Peng Likun, Genius General of Wei." Peng Yan introduced herself.
But in her heart, she was half defeated because of Hu Jia's excellent resu.
