The Divine Doctor and Adorable Consort: The Demonic Emperor is Too Cunning

This guest was none other than Liu Xiangguo.

It was an accident, but only for the Ren family; Fang Qingyou had long expected Liu Xiangguo to come looking for her.

Liu Xiangguo came for the scar-free ointment. After using it for only a few days, she felt the benefits of the ointment. Not only did it not leave scars as Fang Qingyou said, but it also had a skin-beautifying effect.

After hearing Liu Xiangguo's purpose, Fang Qingyou gave her another box of ointment.

"Qingyou, I can't accept this. How much is this ointment? I'll pay you. I can't keep taking your ointment for free." Liu Xiangguo wanted to accept the ointment, but felt embarrassed.

"There's nothing to be embarrassed about. Aunt Xiangguo, just accept it. If you think my ointment is good, just help me promote it so I can sell more, right? Besides, I'm not giving this ointment to you for free, am I..." Fang Qingyou didn't finish her sentence, only giving Liu Xiangguo a knowing look.

Fang Qingyou was actually even more embarrassed than Liu Xiangguo.

Liu Xiangguo knew what Fang Qingyou was talking about, so she accepted the ointment and left the basket of vegetables she was carrying.

Fang Qingyou accepted Liu Xiangguo's vegetables.

In the afternoon, Fang Qingyou prepared medicine for Fang Runting using that top-grade orchid in his room. With these medicines, his injuries would heal faster and better.

The next morning, Fang Qingyou got up early, preparing to go to Pingyang Mountain near Liujia Village to pick flowers. Of course, she would also collect any medicinal herbs she came across.

Fang Qingyou had a premonition that the first product she would use to open up the market in Liujia Village would definitely be her skincare series.

The best skincare products must contain flower ingredients.

Anything produced by Fang Qingyou is bound to be of high quality. She also hopes to use her medical skills to get rich and live a comfortable life as soon as possible.

It's May, and there are so many seasonal flowers to choose from.

Pingyang Mountain is just a small, not very steep, earthen hill, but it is home to quite a few wildflowers and plants.

After a morning, Fang Qingyou and Luye had a fruitful day, each carrying a full bamboo basket of fresh flowers and a small amount of herbs.

As noon approached, Fang Qingyou and Luye decided to climb over the hill in front of them to see if there were any other kinds of flowers on the other side.

They had just crossed the hilltop, and before Fang Qingyou could even catch her breath, she heard a woman's exclamation: "Ah, a snake!"

Fang Qingyou looked in the direction of the sound and vaguely saw a large snake, about four or five meters long, darting out of the grass in the direction the woman had screamed.

With a quick glance, Fang Qingyou only saw that the back of the large snake was dark brown; there was an inverted yellowish-white stripe on the back of its neck, and several white horizontal stripes with black edges on the back of its tail.

However, the dense bushes and trees over there made it impossible for her to see what was going on.

Fang Qingyou's expression suddenly changed. This was actually an adult king cobra, and its current thrashing posture was a standard attack posture!

The king cobra is more commonly known by its alternative name, the mountain snake, in many places.

As far as Fang Qingyou knew, the fastest recorded death rate for someone bitten by a mountain snake in the modern world was three minutes.

If that woman were bitten by one of the mountain snakes and did not receive timely treatment, her life would be in grave danger.

Therefore, Fang Qingyou immediately ran in that direction.

"Miss Fang, wait for me." Seeing this, Lüye immediately followed.

Just as Fang Qingyou was about to run over, a sword light suddenly slashed down at her from mid-air. However, before she could react, the sword that was about to strike her head was blocked by Lüye's sword.

"Clang—" The two swords clashed, producing a piercing metallic clang.

At this moment, Fang Qingyou looked up in confusion, glanced at the green field, and then at the black-clad man who had almost killed her with a sword. She felt a chill run down her spine.

Before Fang Qingyou could say anything, Lüye coldly asked the question that had been bothering her: "Who are you, and why did you hurt Miss Fang?"

Fang Qingyou rolled her eyes helplessly. They didn't know who this man in the tight-fitting clothes was, but Green Field sold her surname so quickly. Did they think others wouldn't know who she was?

What if he's a bad person?

"Who are you people, and why are you barging in?" The man in the tight-fitting clothes had an expression even colder than Green Field, and his eyes were full of killing intent.

Fang Qingyou gleaned some information from the man in the tight-fitting clothes and quickly explained, "I'm sorry, we didn't mean to break in. It's all a misunderstanding. I saw a mountain snake and heard the woman's scream, so I thought I'd come over to save her."

The man in the tight-fitting clothes gave Fang Qingyou a cold look: "No need..."

Before he could finish speaking, a loud scream from a middle-aged man rang out: "Ah!"

Some voices were also shouting: "Protect the young master! Protect the young lady!"

As Fang Qingyou was pondering why there were still quite a few people here, she saw the enormous mountain serpent being cut into pieces, its still-twisting body scattering in all directions.

Fang Qingyou's lips twitched. These people were so powerful that dealing with snake venom should be a piece of cake for them. It seemed that her worries were indeed unnecessary.

"Excuse us, we didn't mean to bother you. Please go ahead and do what you need to do. We'll be leaving now."

Fang Qingyou turned to leave; the best course of action now was to make a quick getaway!

Just then, she heard the woman scream again: "Uncle Tai, what's wrong?! Uncle Tai, Uncle Tai—"

The woman's exclamation caused the man in the tight-fitting clothes to change his expression instantly, but he still stared coldly at Fang Qingyou and Lüye.

Seeing that Lüye was still locked in a standoff with the man in the tight-fitting clothes, Fang Qingyou tugged hard at his sleeve: "Let's go!"

Green Field glared at the man in the tight-fitting clothes before sheathing her sword, turning around and leaving with Fang Qingyou.

Only after Fang Qingyou and Luye had walked quite a distance did the man in the tight-fitting clothes turn around with worry in his eyes and run away.

Feeling the person behind her leave, Fang Qingyou secretly breathed a sigh of relief and patted Lüye on the shoulder: "Lüye, thank you for saving me."

If it weren't for Green Field, Fang Qingyou felt that her neck would have been moved by now.

Green Field chuckled: "Miss Fang, you don't need to be so polite with me. I promised the young master that I would protect you well."

Fang Qingyou: "..."

Can't this green field protect itself just once?

Fang Qingyou's gratitude vanished instantly. She patted Lüye on the shoulder and said, "Lüye, but if this happens again, you mustn't mention any of my information, like my surname."

Green Field belatedly realized that Liu Family Village was near Pingyang Mountain, and only Fang Qingyou's family in the village shared the surname Fang. If this man in the tight-fitting clothes had malicious intent, he could easily come looking for them.

Seeing the regretful look on Lüye's face, Fang Qingyou patted him again: "It's okay, don't blame yourself. This matter is over, just remember it next time."

Green Field nodded vigorously: "Yes."

After such a twist of fate, Fang Qingyou and Lüye decided to turn back; they had already gained enough for today.

But just as they reached the top of the hill, an anxious voice called out from behind: "Please wait, you two!"
