The sickly fox demon is not easy to tease

Qu Ran narrated the recent events of Nan Xingchen breaking off the engagement with the Second Prince, defeating the two young ladies of the Shi residence, and especially the events on the day of the Queen Mother's birthday banquet, adding more details to the story in a vivid manner.

Rong Ke couldn't help but raise his eyebrows when he heard the last part. He muttered to himself, "I haven't seen her for a few days. She actually broke off the engagement with Mo Han?"

He looked at Nan Xingchen from the side, and a light appeared in his dark eyes.

Nan Xingchen seemed to have noticed something and suddenly turned around and looked at him.

She coughed lightly and looked away. In her eyes, Rong Ke was just a playboy.

Elder Yi looked at Nan Xingchen and asked politely, "What do you need, young lady?"

Before Nan Xingchen could reply, the little medicine boy beside him interrupted and said, "Elder Yi, this guest wants to buy Xingling Grass."

Elder Yi frowned and glared at the little medicine boy. The little medicine boy quickly shut up and stood aside obediently, waiting for orders.

Elder Yi stroked his beard and ordered, "Go get that Star Spirit Grass and give it to this girl."

"Yes." The little medicine boy took the order and went to get it.

After a while, the little medicine boy wrapped the Star Spirit Grass in a medicine box, handed it over, and asked politely: "Sir, is there anything else you need? Whether it's spiritual medicine or elixir, we have everything in Baizhen Hall."

Nan Xingchen took the medicine box, and the civet cat's head popped out from her sleeve.

Nan Xingchen flicked the raccoon's head and said with a smile, "Remember, I'll buy you some spiritual herbs."

It is troublesome to raise a spiritual pet. Even if you don’t have food for it, you still have to find a way to buy some spiritual herbs to feed it.

She asked the little medicine boy to get her a few spiritual herbs. After calculating the price, she found that it only cost two hundred low-grade spiritual stones.

Nan Xingchen looked at the little medicine boy and asked in surprise: "Did you calculate wrongly?"

The little medicine boy explained: "This is your first time to Baizhen Hall, and you have been quite neglectful. Elder Yi specifically instructed us to give you some discounts."

He turned around and took out a bottle of medicine from the medicine box and handed it over: "This bottle of medicine is given to you for free, it can cure external injuries."

"That's great. I'll come to your Baizhen Hall next time."

Nan Xingchen was quite surprised. Is the business of Baizhentang so bad? It's my first time here, and there's an event?

Rong Ke and Qu Ran looked at each other. They had been to Baizhentang many times, but they had never been given a discount? They had never heard of any activities held by Baizhentang?

This, this is against the rules...

Nan Xingchen took the medicine bottle, took a look at it, put it in the storage bag, and took out two hundred low-grade spirit stones from the bag to pay the bill.

Gan Tang was confused: "Miss, how did you get the spirit stone? Did the prince give it to you? Or did Master Yu give it to you?"

Nan Xingchen smiled at her, neither confirming nor denying.

Gan Tang is a very timid little girl. If you tell her that these spirit stones were plucked from dead people, she will be so scared that she will have nightmares at night.

After Nan Xingchen took Gan Tang away from Baizhen Hall.

Elder Yi went to the inner hall, where a noble man in a black robe was sitting on a chair.

He narrowed his eyes slightly, holding his chin with his hand, as if he was thinking about something?

Elder Yi bowed and said, "Your Majesty, I have sold the medicine to that woman as you instructed."

The black-robed man said slowly: "I already know that if that woman comes again, I can give her the medicine regardless of whether she has spiritual stones or not."

"Yes, sir!" Elder Yi nodded in response.

When he looked up again, the man in black robe on the chair had disappeared!

No one knew that Baizhen Hall was actually opened by the demons, and the boss behind it was naturally the Demon Lord. The Demon Lord had never been to Baizhen Hall since its opening. Why did he suddenly visit today? Was it for a woman?

I guess this woman must have a special relationship with the Demon Lord.

……

Nan Xingchen and Gan Tang walked one after the other, followed by two guards.

"Little beauty Xingchen, please stay."

A warm and lazy voice suddenly came from behind.

Nan Xingchen turned his head and saw a handsome and elegant man chasing after him with a folding fan in his hand.

Nan Xingchen narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at him, Rong Ke, the eldest son of the Rong family.

He was seriously injured in the Soul-Devouring Forest last time and recovered quite quickly. I guess he must have visited Baizhen Hall often.

Rong Ke and Nan Xingchen walked side by side.

He waved the folding fan in his hand and said with a smile: "Little beauty Xingchen, I haven't seen you for a long time. You are even more beautiful."

Nan Xingchen stroked Rouliu’s head and ignored him.

Rong Ke was startled, and he put away the smile on his face, and said solemnly: "Little beauty Xingchen, I think you haven't had lunch yet, why don't I invite you to have lunch at Zuiyanlou?"

Nan Xingchen glanced at him and refused, "No."

Rong Ke moved closer to her and whispered, "Little beauty Xingchen, are you blaming me for not helping you in Baizhen Hall just now?"

Nan Xingchen felt confused and didn't want to pay attention to him.

Rong Ke shook the folding fan in her hand and said softly, "Little beauty Xingchen, I'm sorry!"

Nan Xingchen glanced at him and said coldly, "Mr. Rong, I am not familiar with you, so you don't have to apologize."

Rong Ke's eyes were slightly hot. He closed the folding fan in his hand and leaned over to look at her: "Xingchen, you have broken off the engagement with the Second Prince. Can you give me a chance?"

Nan Xingchen frowned slightly: "What opportunity?"

Rong Ke, who was always thick-skinned and carefree, blushed a little and said in a very low voice: "If it were in the past, I would never say this even if I kept it to myself, but now is the time, and I like you."

Nan Xingchen just felt a little dazed. How could someone like her, a loser, actually love her?

She stared at Rong Ke as if he were a fool: "What's wrong with you, kid?"

Rong Ke covered his face with a folding fan and said with a stiff face, "Nan Xingchen, you have lived in Rong Ke's heart for a long time."

When someone confessed his love to her in public, she was even more shocked than when she saw that vixen Su Muwei.

She coughed a few times, pointed at Rong Ke's head, and said sternly: "Mr. Rong, are you sick? Are you mentally ill, or is the poison in your brain?"

She raised her eyebrows, looked towards a clinic on the street, and said, "If you are sick, go get treatment immediately and stop talking nonsense!"

Rong Ke's face turned red with anxiety: "I am not sick. I like Nan Xingchen. There is nothing wrong with liking someone."

Nan Xingchen's breath was stuck in her chest, and she almost couldn't breathe. She said sternly, "You are not allowed to like me. Do you hear me? From today on, even if you have such evil thoughts, you are not allowed to say them out loud. Do you hear me?"

Rong Ke was slightly startled, with a hint of surprise in her eyes: "Why can't I say it?"

Nan Xingchen stopped and smiled, "Mr. Rong, you are so ugly, how can you like me?"

Rong Ke is good friends with the second prince Chu Mohan. This kid must have taken the wrong medicine and actually said he is interested in her. Everyone in Kyoto knows that Rong Ke is a famous playboy.

He always calls her "Little Beauty of the Stars", which only makes her more hated.

Rong Ke was stunned for a moment, but still didn't give up: "Then I want to treat you to a meal."

"I'm busy, go find your confidante." Nan Xingchen took a step forward and continued walking forward.
