NOVEL NEXT Chapter 61 - Snow Lingzhi
Chapter 61: Snow Lingzhi
Qin Yiyi slept for the entire day.
It was not until the afternoon of the second day that she slowly opened her eyes. The unfamiliar bed and furnishings made her slightly startled.
But in the next moment, she woke up.
This place, was it Shang Jingheng who brought her here?
She had just stood up and stepped on the ground when Shang Jingheng’s voice sounded from outside the door almost at the same time.
“You’re awake? You must be hungry. I’ll get someone to prepare the food.”
Qin Yiyi walked out and nodded. “Yes, I’m hungry.” Her stomach rumbled a few times.
She stretched and smiled.
“I slept so comfortably this time.”
Shang Jingheng accompanied her to eat. He watched as she devoured a bowl of porridge, two buns, and a few plates of vegetables.
The suspicion and worry in his heart could not help but subside a little.
To be able to eat, she should be alright, right?
However, he was always worried.
His gaze swept over her body. She looked pretty good and her breathing was steady…
Forget it, forget it. Let’s talk about this later.
Qin Yiyi, on the other hand, took a few sips of the tea in her hand and put it down. She raised her eyebrows.
“Why are you always looking at me? Is my face dirty?”
“No, it’s just that when you said you were going to sleep yesterday, you fell asleep and slept for so long. I was a little worried…”
Since he had opened her mouth, Shang Jingheng decided not to hide anything anymore.
Moreover, he was indeed worried.
“There is a medicine that can allow a person’s body to perform to its fullest potential, but it is achieved by overdrawing the potential of the body itself.”
She spoke slowly, and her eyes stared calmly at Shang Jingheng as she spoke.
Shang Jingheng didn’t blink.
He was afraid that he would miss the slightest expression on Qin Yiyi’s face.
Qin Yiyi felt amused when he saw his expression, and her heart felt warm.
The feeling of being cared for by others was very good.
Although, she felt that she didn’t need these anymore…
“I just don’t have enough Qi in my body. After a period of time when my body is better, I will take two doses of medicine myself.”
Her words made Shang Jingheng even more worried.
“Did you and Du Wuniang exchange for those medicinal herbs? If you need anything else, tell me. I’ll get someone to look for it.”
“It’s all here.”
Qin Yiyi smiled cutely. “I’ll definitely look for you next time.”
“Mm, remember what you said, little girl.”
Shang Jingheng reached out and took the fruit plate beside her hand. “You just ate and drank tea. You can’t eat too much fruit now.”
Qin Yiyi, “…” She could still eat!
Forget it, forget it. If she didn’t eat, she wouldn’t eat. She would just quietly go out and buy food later.
“By the way, have you finished your business? When are you going back?”
Qin Yiyi remembered that this person seemed to have said that he was here to do business before she fainted. She rolled her eyes.
“I didn’t delay your business, right?”
“No, it’s already done.”
Shang Jingheng shook his head and stood up with her. “Qin San came over this morning, but I told him that you weren’t around. Do you want to see him again before you leave and explain?” After all, the things Qin San was in charge of now belonged to his little girl!
His… little girl…
Shang Jingheng was shocked by the sudden thought that popped up in his mind.
His mouth was dry and his tongue was parched!
How could he have such a thought?
“Big Brother Shang, what’s wrong with you?”
Qin Yiyi was a little surprised. He was fine just a moment ago, why was his face suddenly so red now?
Could it be that he was sick or had a fever?
Without thinking, she raised her hand and touched Shang Jingheng’s forehead. She frowned and muttered to herself.
“Strange, he doesn’t have a fever, but why is his face suddenly so red when he was fine?”
“Could it be that your old injury has relapsed?”
Could it be that he had taken advantage of the time when she was unconscious yesterday to fight with someone?
“No, I just feel that the room is a little stuffy. Let’s go outside and take a walk.”
“It’s a little stuffy.”
Qin Yi nodded and followed Shang Jingheng as he stood up and walked outside.
However, after walking a few steps, a respectful voice sounded from outside, “Sir, Third Master Qin is here to look for Miss Qin…”
Shang Jingheng stopped and looked at the person beside him.
“Do you want to meet him?”
Qin Yiyi thought for a moment, then turned around and walked towards the front yard.
“Then let’s meet him.”
After all, she was the one who planned to leave tomorrow.
Shang Jingheng did not follow her. He watched as Qin Yiyi’s back disappeared in front of his eyes.
His eyes flashed, and his face was momentarily stunned.
Then, he laughed. He only treated her as his sister!
In the front yard, in the living room.
Qin Yiyi looked at Third Master Qin, who was respectfully greeting her. She sighed to himself that Third Master Qin was indeed worthy of his reputation.
With this character of his, it would be strange if he did not do well!
“I will be leaving tomorrow. If you have anything or want to ask, hurry up and tell me. Don’t blame me if you can’t find me later.”
Third Master Qin was a little anxious when he heard this.
“Why are you leaving so quickly? You just took over, and you left without checking and figuring anything out?”
She really had a big heart.
Wasn’t she afraid that she would mess up the business here or take it for herself?
Qin Yiyi looked at third Master Qin with a faint smile.
“I believe you.” At the same time, she also had the ability to deal with him casually!
Qin Yiyi didn’t say the last sentence, and Third Master Qin naturally didn’t know how to read minds. He was only very grateful after hearing Qin Yiyi say that she believed in him.
“Miss Qin, don’t worry. One mouthful of saliva makes a pit. I, Qin San, will definitely not go back on my word since I have already promised you.”
After sending Qin San away, Qin Yiyi slowly turned back to look for Shang Jingheng.
“Before I go back tomorrow, I have to go to the city to meet someone.”
Shang Jingheng just raised his eyebrows and looked at her.
Qin Yi looked calm. “It’s the policeman I met on the high-speed train. I think he looks pretty good. I can help him.”
The most important thing was that the other party was a policeman.
Qin Yiyi felt that she should definitely help if she could!
“I’ll go with you.”
Qin Yiyi subconsciously wanted to refuse, but the words on the tip of her tongue changed.
“Then can you drive me back to Hu City after this is over?”
“Sure.”
Ghost Street was brightly lit 24 hours a day, regardless of day or night.
Qin Yi watched as Shang Jingheng was called away. She stood up as well.
“Do your thing. I’ll go look for Du Wuniang to collect the debt.”
Her words made Shang Jingheng stop in his tracks. He turned around and looked at her with a solemn expression.
“Is treating her injuries going to deplete the true Qi in your body again?”
“She doesn’t need it.”
Qin Yiyi smiled obediently. “Her body is full of old injuries. She needs to soak in medicine for three months before starting the acupuncture. I went over to deliver the prescription to her.”
“Then I’ll get Ding Yi to accompany you.”
Qin Yiyi grinned. “There’s no need for Ding Yi. If you’re really worried, just get someone to follow me.”
She was only going to look for Du Wuniang to collect the debt and give her the prescription.
It wasn’t a fight.
Even if it was a fight, she didn’t need Ding Yi’s help.
A good girl didn’t need to be helped!
Shang Jingheng: Excuse me, do you have some misunderstanding about good girls?!
In Du Wuniang’s shop.
As soon as Qin Yiyi appeared at the door, Du Wuniang’s eyes lit up and she quickly walked over to greet her.
“Miss Qin.”
She was absolutely respectful and polite.
She looked at Qin Yiyi with fiery eyes, as if she was going to eat her up.
Qin Yiyi calmly handed over the prescription she had written before she came over, her small face solemn.
“Soak for an hour every night for three months.”
Du Wuniang’s eyes were full of excitement, and she held it with both hands as if she had taken some treasure. Her voice was a little shaky.
“I, I can recover just like this? In three months?”
Qin Yiyi looked at her and shook her head seriously. “No.”
“Ah, then this…” What could she do if this prescription couldn’t give her a full recovery?
She had taken all kinds of bitter medicine in the past!
Now, she was really numb and disheartened. She was so happy and excited that she thought she could recover, but now…
Du Wuniang took a deep breath and closed her eyes. When she opened them again, her Phoenix eyes were cold.
“Miss Qin, even if the owner of the Ghost King Order is behind you, I, Du Wuniang, will not be easily bullied by others!”
She didn’t know if she could make someone fall heavily from a high place once she had hope.
Would she really die?
Qin Yiyi glanced at her and said in a curious and innocent voice, “I just want you to take a medicinal bath to adjust your body to its best condition first so that it’s easier for me to inject needles. Why do you look like you’re implying that you can be killed but not humiliated?” She just wanted her to take a bath by herself, it wasn’t like she was asking her to take a bath with a man. How could it be called bullying her?
Du Wuniang’s face turned red.
She stammered, “… I’m sorry.”
“Alright, give me my things.”
Qin Yiyi didn’t care about the minor details. What she wanted was the result!
“… Alright, wait here. I’ll go get it now.”
In fact, Du Wuniang had been hesitating whether she should give the things to Qin Yiyi first since last night.
What if this girl refused to treat her injuries or if she couldn’t treat her injuries in the end?
Wouldn’t she pay with blood?
It wasn’t until the moment she saw Qin Yiyi walking into the shop step by step as if she was a spotlight.
She walked to her.
Subconsciously, Du Wuniang made a decision in her heart.
Give it to her!
Give it to her now!
Ten minutes later.
Qin Yiyi put her hands in her pockets and walked out of Du Wuniang’s shop with a calm expression.
The road was brightly lit.
Qin Yiyi looked at the people on both sides of the street, all kinds of people walking around, peddling and selling…
She suddenly felt as if it was a lifetime ago.
This place was somewhat similar to the Karakorum Savant, but it didn’t seem like it.
The people there were more pure and fair, bartering.
It wasn’t that the means couldn’t be used.
But there must be a bottom line that had to be guarded…
It wasn’t like this place…
She pursed her lips into a smile, a hint of bitterness flashed through her eyes.
‘What nonsense were you thinking?’
Karakorum was already gone. In order to save her, her master’s soul was scattered and couldn’t enter the cycle of reincarnation!
It was as if a knife had dug a hole in her heart.
A bloody pain!
At this moment, Qin Yiyi’s heart suddenly trembled slightly, and her footsteps subconsciously moved.
Unfortunately, she was still a little too late.
A man in black held a short knife against her back.
“Give me the thousand-year-old snow lingzhi mushroom and I’ll spare your life!”
