The sickly fox demon is not easy to tease

Su Muwei's ears turned red, and he raised his eyebrows slightly and said, "Didn't you eat enough when you attended the palace banquet today?"

Nan Xingchen shook his head and said shamelessly: "Brother, I'm hungry. The lotus seed cake you made last time was very delicious. I want to eat more. It would be better if you can make a pot of good wine."

Su Muwei's eyelids twitched because of her pestering. He said coldly: "You have a very poor alcohol tolerance, and you still want to drink?"

Although his voice was cold, there was a hint of doting in his eyes.

Nan Xingchen narrowed his eyes and curved his lips: "Brother, big brother, this is in your own room, don't be afraid of getting drunk."

Sometimes she called him by his name, Su Muwei, sometimes she called him brother, and sometimes she called him big brother, which made Su Muwei feel more and more annoyed.

He raised his eyelids slightly and saw a plate of lotus seed cakes and a pot of wine on the table.

He said calmly: "This wine is called Purple Bamboo Wine. It is made from the finest mulberries and fresh bamboo juice. It is not easy to get drunk."

Nan Xingchen lowered her eyes and saw the wine, which was amber in color and crystal clear. She raised her hand to pick up the wine pot, pulled out the cork and sniffed it, with a strong bamboo fragrance.

I was about to thank Su Muwei, but he was nowhere to be found in the house? ?

Nan Xingchen sighed: This fox really comes and goes without a trace, appearing and disappearing like a ghost.

She ate lotus seed cakes and drank purple bamboo wine, and thought it was good to know this fox. Her life was so comfortable.

……

Five days later.

Nan Xingchen locked herself in the house to practice these days, and she discovered that her Dantian was really different from that of ordinary people.

Her cultivation progress is too slow. Today, Su Muwei came to check on her progress, but she couldn’t explain this.

She slapped her forehead and thought hard, and suddenly remembered a herb that could help people practice: Star Spirit Grass.

Star Spirit Grass is a low-grade earth-grade spiritual grass. Eating it is of great benefit to practitioners in the early stages of cultivation.

She held her forehead in her hand and thought, thinking that a small country like Dayu should be extremely difficult to find.

The original owner's memory went through her mind again. The more famous herbal medicine shop in Dayu Country was called Baizhentang. She could try her luck there and maybe she could find one.

The civet cat poked its little head out and looked at her. Nan Xingchen poked its little head and said with a smile, "Do you want to go out and play too? I'll take you out today and buy some spiritual herbs to feed you."

She changed her clothes, called Gan Tang, and prepared to go out with two guards.

Gan Tang saw that she looked a little hurried, and asked in confusion: "Miss, aren't you in seclusion for training? Why do you want to go out suddenly?"

Nan Xingchen stroked Rouli's head and said with a smile: "Let's go to Baizhen Hall and buy some spiritual herbs for Rouli."

Gan Tang's eyes widened slightly, with a look of astonishment: "Miss, going to Baizhen Hall, are you kidding?"

Nan Xingchen tapped Gan Tang's forehead and said, "You must be joking. Let's go now."

"But, miss, it's not..."

Gan Tang advised incoherently, with a hint of embarrassment in her eyes.

She took a deep breath and continued, "Miss, Baizhentang is a special shop. Transactions are not made with silver but with spirit stones. We don't have spirit stones."

Nan Xingchen smiled and said, "Of course I know."

Gan Tang stamped his feet in anxiety. How could their young lady have spirit stones? If she couldn’t produce them when the time came, she would be insulted by the people from Baizhentang.

But what to do?

Nan Xingchen stared at her with a smile: "Little girl, don't worry, your lady has spirit stones."

The spirit stones that were looted from the storage bags of the two black-clad killers last time have not been used yet.

Seeing that Nan Xingchen looked confident, Gan Tang stopped trying to dissuade him.

As Gan Tang walked, he thought to himself that his young lady must have been too sad these days because she broke off the engagement with the second prince, so she had been locking herself up in the house.

Even if you don't have spirit stones and can't buy spirit herbs, it's always good to come out and relax.

Before they knew it, they were on the street. Nan Xingchen turned around and shouted, "Hurry up and follow us."

Gan Tang hurriedly trotted to catch up with Nan Xingchen and walked behind her.

Nan Xingchen was wearing a light blue dress, the hem of which fluttered slowly with her light steps. The bright sunlight shone on her small face as white as jade, making her already delicate facial features shine brightly.

The moment passers-by saw her, envy filled their eyes.

Naturally, there was also a lot of criticism about her.

"Hey, isn't this the useless young lady from the Nan Palace?"

"Let me take a look. It's her. Hasn't she been hiding in the Nanwang Mansion and rarely goes out?"

"Ever since she broke off her engagement with the Second Prince, she has been hiding in the mansion out of shame. Why did she come out today?"

"Have you heard that she is said to be possessed by a demon, and her temperament has changed drastically. Now it's terrible. The two young ladies of the Shi Mansion have been defeated by her one after another."

"Also, she's out of her mind. It's said that she took the initiative to ask the king to cancel her engagement with the second prince."

"Is this true? Even if the Second Prince marries Miss Shi and takes her as his concubine, it will be her blessing."

"Who says it's not true? You are just a loser, pretending to be noble."

……

The discussions were getting louder and louder. Gan Tang was eager to argue for his young lady, but his arm was grabbed by Nan Xingchen.

She whispered, "Your young lady has a bad reputation to begin with. Rumors stop at the wise. Let them say whatever they want."

Gan Tang's face flushed with anxiety: "But Miss."

Nan Xingchen patted her shoulder and comforted her: "He is an insignificant person and said some insignificant words. You don't have to take it to heart."

The group soon arrived at the entrance of Baizhen Hall, and Nan Xingchen asked two guards to wait at the door.

She walked in with Gan Tang.

The medicine boy at Baizhentang saw that Nan Xingchen was well-dressed and had an extraordinary temperament, so he naturally did not dare to neglect him.

"Sir, please come this way." The little medicine boy welcomed Nan Xingchen and Gan Tang in.

Nan Xingchen fiddled with the jade flute in his hand, hummed lightly, and walked in a slightly lazy pace.

Gan Tang was very nervous. It would be embarrassing if their young lady couldn't produce the spirit stones.

Entering the front hall, there were several rosewood medicine cabinets placed all around. Various spiritual herbs and medicines were placed in the wooden boxes of the medicine cabinets. On one of the medicine cabinets were some medicine bottles, which must be refined pills.

A rich herbal aroma hit his nose, and Nan Xingchen couldn't help but frowned.

There were several guests in the hall, including two familiar figures.

An old doctor with gray hair was sitting in the hall. Nan Xingchen asked, "Excuse me, do you have any Xingling grass?"

The old doctor frowned and asked, "Star Spirit what?"

Nan Xingchen raised his voice and said, "Star Spirit Grass."

The old doctor patted his ears and asked again: "What kind of grass is Xing?"

Nan Xingchen: ...

What is he playing at???

She was speechless for a moment. This deaf old doctor in front of her was actually still sitting in the main hall seeing patients?

The medicine boy at the side immediately wrote the three words "Xingling Grass" on a piece of paper and showed it to the old doctor.

The old doctor stroked his white beard, squinted at the three words on the paper, and murmured, "The young lady is actually looking for the Star Spirit Grass. Although this grass is not particularly precious, it is extremely rare in the Great Domain. I vaguely remember that there is still one in Baicao Hall."

He raised his hand and told the little medicine boy, "Go get it quickly and give it to this girl."

"Okay, Master."

The little medicine boy agreed and was about to get it.

A beautiful figure suddenly blocked the little medicine boy's way, and then an arrogant voice sounded:

"This princess kindly reminds you that this piece of trash doesn't have any spirit stones, let alone the Star Spirit Grass. Why bother?"
