Your Highness, please stop chasing me.

"Brother, which of us is more uncivilized? You've already had impure thoughts about a little girl who hasn't even reached marriageable age yet. How can you be any better?" Lin Jiu gave him an unseemly glare.

Ye Shangyuan didn't respond, but just sat there quietly drinking water.

He looked out the door at the gloomy sky; the weather was about to change.

Finally, Lin Jiu couldn't hold back any longer and asked again, "Does that little girl Xiao Mu know about your little scheme?"

“She,” Ye Shangyuan began slowly, paused for a moment, and then said, “should not know.”

Lin Jiu choked again, and said mockingly, "After all that talk, it turns out it was just wishful thinking on your part? Hahaha."

Ye Shangyuan shot a sharp glare at him.

Lin Jiu immediately changed his tone and said, "It's okay. With your qualities, Xiao Mu will definitely fall for you too."

Ye Shangyuan ignored him and said, "Mu Mu is still too young, and besides, the poison in my body hasn't been cured yet, which is also a problem."

"Tsk tsk," Lin Jiu exclaimed in amazement. He said, "When did our ruthless and heartless Regent have anything to worry about? Don't worry about the poison in your body. I've talked to that little girl, and she's quite confident."

"Lin Jiu, she's sick, and you're still talking to her about these things?" Ye Shangyuan's voice suddenly turned cold.

Lin Jiu couldn't help but shiver. He stammered, "I just couldn't resist."

Ye Shangyuan raised an eyebrow, about to speak, when Lin Jiu interrupted him.

"Oh dear, I was wrong. I just couldn't control myself. I was really curious about her method of suppressing your poison. There won't be a next time, I swear." After saying that, Lin Jiu raised her right hand and solemnly swore an oath.

"But Ah Yuan, how's your search for those herbs Xiao Mu mentioned going? I plan to go back to the Valley of the Immortal Healers and ask my master once things stabilize here, to see if he's seen them." Lin Jiu's tone was no longer joking; he spoke seriously.

“Ye San is already searching. The Dragon Tongue Grass and Crimson Flame Grass have been found. The Fire Dragon Grass was auctioned at the Treasure Pavilion before and is now in Mu Mu’s hands,” Ye Shangyuan replied.

He then thought that Mu Xue also had a deadly poison in her body, and wondered if she needed to use the fire dragon grass she had photographed.

Then he added, "Mumu will probably need the fire dragon grass herself, so it's best to prepare more of it."

Lin Jiu nodded and said, "I'm not quite sure what specific poison she needs, but Fire Dragon Grass is a top-grade antidote, so I suppose she should need it."

"But what are you planning to do with the Black Demon Vine and the Blood Droplets? We can't afford to miss out on those two!" Lin Jiu said with some concern.

Both the Black Magic Vine and the Blood Droplet are shade-loving plants, especially the Blood Droplet.

It is the seed of the Blood Mist Tree, and it may take decades for one to grow.

Therefore, the Blood Droplet is extremely precious, and it is considered a treasure in Shanghai. It is currently being kept by the Grand Elder of Shanghai.

“Black Demon Vine and Blood Droplets are only found in Shanghai. Is Mu Er familiar with that area? It seems we’ll have to send him there,” Ye Shangyuan said.

Lin Jiu agreed, saying, "He's in Shanghai most of the time, so finding these two items really requires his help."

Ye Shangyuan thought of the so-called little uncle who was still living in Mu Xue's courtyard. If he was not mistaken, he should be the Lord of the Demon City, Cang Lin.

However, he didn't say much to Lin Jiu, otherwise, with his big mouth, the news would have spread very quickly.

Ye Shangyuan added, "I'm fine here. Once Mu Mu wakes up, go and ask her what herbs she needs. After you've asked, set off immediately back to the Valley of the Immortal Healer."

Lin Jiu looked at Ye Shangyuan speechlessly and said, "So, I'm just a tool for you to run errands???"

Ye Shangyuan calmly took a sip of water and said, "If you insist on thinking that way, it's not impossible."

After saying that, he stood up and walked back to the bedside.

"Hehe, I have to say, you really are something else. What do you mean I have to think this way?" Lin Jiu relentlessly pressed him, calling out.

Ye Shangyuan turned around and stood still. He said in a coaxing tone, like he was talking to a child, "Alright, you can go now. I need to rest."

He took off his outer garment and sat on the bed.

Before Lin Jiu could say anything more, Ye Shangyuan had already lay down and closed his eyes.

Lin Jiu pointed at Ye Shangyuan and kept repeating "you you you" for a long time without saying anything else.

He angrily flung his sleeves and stormed out.

Yoruichi was standing in the courtyard waiting for him. When he came out, Yoruichi said, "Mr. Lin, the medicine you requested has been delivered."

"The Treasure Pavilion is still so efficient. Let's go take a look." Lin Jiu's eyes lit up when she heard that the medicinal herbs had been delivered, as if the little tantrum she had just had with Ye Shangyuan had never happened.

Lin Jiu had Ye Shangyuan completely under her thumb.

Yoruichi followed Lin Jiu out of the courtyard. He smiled to himself. He had arrived early; it was the prince who had signaled him to wait outside.

"Xiao Yi, did you manage to get the Arctic Ice Dew I wanted this time?" Lin Jiu asked as they walked.

"I found it, but not much, just a small bottle." Yoruichi thought of the small white jade bottle.

Although it's made of warm jade, you can still feel the bone-chilling cold inside the box, which shows how potent this medicine called Arctic Dew is.

"What does Mr. Lin need this for? That stuff is really icy cold and incredibly domineering!" Yoruichi asked.

Lin Jiu smiled mysteriously, and he couldn't help but quicken his pace.

"This is a real gem! I'll give you a little something when it's done properly," Lin Jiu said mysteriously.

Yoruichi was genuinely curious about what Lin Jiu was up to.

Su Su watched the two people walk out of the window, then turned back to Mu Xue's side and wiped the sweat from her brow.

At this moment, Mu Xue was not sleeping peacefully; she dreamed of her past life.

In her previous life, Mu Xue was a renowned national-level physician in China, learning various skills from her master since childhood.

Before even graduating from high school, she was already a national treasure-level master doctor due to her superb medical skills.

However, she did not enjoy the comfortable life provided by the country. Instead, she joined the army and became a medic in the special forces.

It's a high-risk profession that requires working with team members on various dangerous missions.

Mu Xue was not afraid of hardship. In just three years, she reached a height that many men could not achieve, and she became the youngest female soldier in the special forces team.

However, during an SSS-level mission, her comrades-in-arms died one after another. She buried them on the spot with great sorrow, some of them even being partially buried in the accident.

When the mission was over, she and another surviving comrade returned to China with the team's belongings.

From then on, she no longer needed her teammates. She never wanted to experience that feeling again—watching her teammates fall in front of her, having all the medical skills she needed but no way to save them.

In her dream, Mu Xue watched as those familiar faces slowly disappeared before her eyes, and for the first time, she showed a vulnerable expression.
