After transmigrating, I made a name for myself through my culinary skills.

The next day, Ye Lan was woken up by the servants of the Su family. He sat up, shook his head, and could only remember what had happened before he came back. He glanced at himself and saw that he hadn't changed his clothes, but it seemed that someone had cast a cleansing spell on him, as he could not smell the smell of the wine from the previous night.

Ye Lan opened the door, and a servant from the Su family said that a Miss Feng was looking for him and was waiting in the garden.

Ye Lan guessed that the girl surnamed Feng was Feng Yanyi. After tidying herself up, she followed the servants of the Su family to the garden.

Ye Lan spotted Feng Yanyi from afar. Today, she was dressed in a pinkish-yellow outfit and still wearing the pearl hairpin in her hair. She was looking at the flowers and plants planted by the Su family.

After escorting him to the garden, the servant tactfully withdrew, leaving Ye Lan and Feng Yanyi alone in the garden.

Ye Lan stepped forward and called out to her, "Miss Feng."

Feng Yanyi turned around after hearing the voice, and seeing that he seemed fine, asked him with concern, "Are you alright today?"

He nodded and replied, "It's alright."

Last night, someone must have given him some hangover soup, because he doesn't have that hangover headache anymore.

He then asked, "Is there something you need from me?"

"It's just a little thing, nothing serious," Feng Yanyi said, taking out a bottle. "Last night, my great-grandfather heard you praise this sauce, so he said he wanted to give you a bottle. I brought it over today."

Yesterday, Feng Ming asked her to bring some sauce, but Ye Lan was still drunk and unconscious. Instead of giving it directly to Jiang Ning and the others, she chose to bring it over today and hand it to Ye Lan herself.

This sauce is specially made and is indeed very good as a dipping sauce. Ye Lan took it with both hands and took out a bottle of soybean paste that he had bought earlier from his space and handed it to Feng Yanyi: "Thank you, Miss Feng. Please also convey my gratitude to Elder Feng."

"Okay, I also have a bottle of hangover medicine here, it's..."

After Feng Yanyi took it, she took out another bottle and was about to say something when she was interrupted by another voice.

"Ye Lan!"

It was Jiang Ning's voice. Ye Lan turned around, looked at him, and asked, "Why did you come here?"

Jiang Ning also walked into the garden and explained why he had come: "That red fox is about to give birth, and Su Bo said he wants to discuss something with us."

He saw Feng Yanyi as he entered and greeted her, saying, "Hello, Miss Feng."

Feng Yanyi responded, "Young Master Jiang."

What could Su Bo possibly want from them at this time? Ye Lan asked him, "Is it urgent?"

Jiang Ning: "There should be some. He's waiting in the room."

After hearing this, Feng Yanyi handed the bottle to Ye Lan right in front of Jiang Ning: "Since you are busy, I won't bother you any longer. This is a hangover remedy I made. If you drink too much, you can drink a little. It works quite well."

Feng Yanyi has a gentle appearance, but Jiang Ning saw the look of someone eyeing prey in her eyes.

Unfortunately, Ye Lan knew nothing about it yet. After taking the bottle, she even wanted to give Feng Yanyi some spirit stones to buy it.

Feng Yanyi smiled and refused his spirit stones: "No need to be so polite with me. If you want to thank me, just teach me how to cook a few more dishes when you have time, or treat me to a meal."

Without waiting for Ye Lan's response, Feng Yanyi bid them farewell and left the garden.

Jiang Ning looked at the thing in his hand and asked, "Did she come to see you today just to deliver this?"

Ye Lan shook her head and put the bottle of hangover medicine into her spatial storage: "It's not just this. Elder Feng also gave me a bottle of sauce. She mainly helped deliver that bottle."

However, he had inadvertently accepted her favor, so he would see when he had time to invite her to dinner again.

Jiang Ning didn't quite understand why Old Feng hadn't mentioned seeing him off yesterday, but only remembered to do so today. However, he had no right to ask this question now. The two walked back to their residence side by side, and Su Bo really had something to say to them.

When they arrived at Su Bo's room, they only saw Jiang Nan and Su Bo; they did not see Nangong Yue.

Su Bo's room was spacious, divided into a study and a bedroom. The two of them were sitting in the chairs in the study. Jiang Nan saw that everyone had arrived and asked Su Bo, "Speak, what do you want to see us about?"

Su Bo looked a little embarrassed: "Well, it's like this, Miss Nangong did me a favor before by saving me, so I wanted to give her something."

The others listened quietly without interrupting him, and he continued, "And this thing is related to you."

Ye Lan raised an eyebrow and asked, "What do you mean by that?"

"I just want to give that red fox as a gift," Su Bo said, touching the bridge of his nose, his confidence somewhat lacking. "I want to buy it for her, return the spirit stones to you, and then ask for your opinion, right?"

No one answered immediately; they all started thinking.

After about a minute, Ye Lan gave her answer: "I have no objection."

He's currently in dire need of high-grade spirit stones, so getting them back would be a good thing. Besides, he already has Xiaobai, so the red fox is useless to him and can't be used as a spirit pet. Raising another one would just be a waste of money.

Jiang Nan and Jiang Ning also gave their answer: "We have no objections."

Su Bo looked troubled again: "But she already gave me 1,500 high-grade spirit stones. How am I supposed to give her those spirit stones? How should I tell her?"

This is the most difficult problem: you want to give someone a gift, but you can't expect them to pay for it too, can you? That would be so awkward.

Three cobblers are the best of Zhuge Liang.

Jiang Nan suggested to him: "Then you should tell her that you want to buy it as a gift, return the high-grade spirit stones to her first, and then give it to her at the end, wouldn't that be better?"

Su Bo hesitated: "Is this okay? I'm afraid she won't be happy. She really wants this red fox, and she recently asked me to help her auction things off."

Jiang Nan then offered another bad idea: "Then you should let Jiang Ning go and talk to him."

Jiang Ning asked with a puzzled look, "Why me?"

Jiang Nan decided to change the person: "Shall we let Ye Lan go and talk to her?"

Ye Lan pointed at herself: "Me?"

"Alright, I'll go." Afraid that Jiang Nan would continue to come up with bad ideas, Jiang Ning agreed immediately.

As the saying goes, "Three cobblers are equal to one Zhuge Liang," these people quickly decided how to approach Nangong Yue to discuss buying the red fox.

Finally, seeing that everyone had no objections, Su Bo took out three storage bags, each containing 1,500 high-grade spirit stones: "Here, these high-grade spirit stones are yours for now."

Ye Lan took it and said to Su Bo, "I actually have something I'd like you to help me with."

Su Bo looked at him: "What's wrong?"

"I also want to auction some pills and spiritual herbs."

Although he now has 1,500 high-grade spirit stones, he's still more than 20,000 short, and his goal is still far away. So Ye Lan plans to auction off his pills. Besides, he can't make high-grade pills yet, and it would be a waste to use those spirit herbs for practice. Therefore, he simply wants to auction off some spirit herbs that can fetch high prices.

Thinking it was something serious, Su Bo readily agreed, saying, "That's easy. Just give it to me, and I'll have Su Ye take it to the auction house. With the Su family involved, they can take less of the commission."

The owner of this auction house is the city lord of Wuya City. This city lord has a good relationship with the Su family. When the Su family brings items to auction, they usually give them some face and don't take much commission.

"Thank you in advance." Ye Lan decided to sort out the spiritual herbs and pills to be auctioned today and give them to Su Bo.

Su Bo patted him on the shoulder and said cheerfully, "Hey, we're such good friends, there's no need for such polite words."

When Su Bo took the spiritual herbs and pills he gave him to Su Ye, Su Ye looked at them and said that there were several kinds of pills that the Su family would usually need, as well as high-grade spiritual herbs that could be kept for the Su family's alchemists to refine pills. They could also buy them directly from Ye Lan at a high price, so that both sides could make a profit. The remaining items that the Su family did not need could be auctioned off at the auction house.

This wasn't because Su Ye was deliberately giving Ye Lan face; they genuinely needed it. The Su family supports a mercenary group, and they require a large quantity of these healing and cultivation-enhancing pills every year.

To save up 30,000 high-grade spirit stones, Ye Lan almost emptied out all the spirit herbs and pills in her space, leaving only a few rare spirit herbs that were hard to find, which she hadn't been willing to sell yet.

When Su Ye gave Ye Lan 10,000 high-grade spirit stones, Ye Lan finally understood what Su Bo meant when he said, "Rare spiritual plants in the Northern Continent are more valuable." The high-grade spirit stones that could be earned here were almost double those in the Southern Continent.

However, these high-grade spirit stones were still far from enough, so whenever Ye Lan had free time, she would take Xiao Bai and Jiang Ning to the snow-capped mountains outside Wuya City to search for rare spirit herbs.

With the Su family protecting them in Wuya City, it's easier to venture into other major cities later. If they accidentally stumble upon someone else's territory in another major city, they'll likely be in deep trouble.

In Wuya City, Ye Lan picked any spiritual plants that could be exchanged for spirit stones or refined into pills, because he discovered that his space could indeed allow spiritual plants to grow inside. The spiritual plants he planted in flowerpots were now of even better quality than when they were first picked.

Therefore, before auctioning off those high-level spiritual plants, Ye Lan kept all the buds he could, intending to cultivate and grow a batch himself.

There are snow lotus flowers on the snow-capped mountains of Wuya City. The Su family needs a lot of these, but they are quite difficult to find. So, Ye Lan has been searching for them with Xiaobai these past few days. With Xiaobai's help, they can gather in a day what others can do in half a month.

On the fifth day after they arrived in the Northern Continent, the red fox was about to give birth. Before that, Jiang Ning went to Nangong Yue to propose that he wanted to buy the red fox and returned the 1,500 high-grade spirit stones that Nangong Yue had given him.

On the morning the red fox gave birth to its cubs, while everyone was still fast asleep, Su Bo's servants woke him up and reported that the red fox was about to give birth. Su Bo quickly woke up Nangong Yue and Jiang Ning, and the group rushed to the garden where the red fox was kept.

When they arrived, the red fox's water had already broken, and a specialist was there to help her give birth.

The red fox actually gave birth to two cubs. Because of her injuries, the red fox was not very energetic after giving birth. She just licked her cubs' fur and looked rather listless.

Nangong Yue went in and fed it a spiritual herb, which improved its condition. Recently, Nangong Yue has been feeding it frequently, and it doesn't seem to mind her.

By noon, the red fox cub's fur had dried. It was tiny, and its eyes hadn't even opened yet, but it had already turned into a fluffy creature that melted everyone's hearts.

The red fox cubs made squeaking noises. The servants in charge of the animal enclosure told them that they were hungry. The red fox was injured and had no milk to feed the cubs, so Su Bo quickly told the servants to find goat milk to feed them.

According to records, when a red fox cub opens its eyes, it will recognize the first person it sees as its master. If it misses this window, it will not be as loyal.

So when Jiang Ning and the others left, leaving Nangong Yue and Su Bo inside to nurse the little red fox, she was still completely bewildered.

Su Bo held out the goat milk to the little red fox. Smelling the milky aroma, the fox stuck out its tongue and licked the goat milk in the bowl.

Nangong Yue asked him, "Didn't Jiang Ning buy it?"

Su Bo looked down at his toes, not daring to look at her: "I asked him to help me tell you that I wanted to give you this red fox as a gift."

Nangong Yue looked at him, unsure of what to say, and after a long pause, she only managed to say, "This gift is too precious."

Su Bo still had one hand free of the bowl, so he waved it and said, "It's not valuable. You saved me before, and I haven't had a chance to repay you yet. Besides, look, there are two. We can each have one, so don't feel guilty."

Nangong Yue fell silent after hearing this. She knew that the person in front of her liked her. Su Bo's kindness to her was always open and aboveboard, and his gaze towards her was never concealed.

But right now, he only wanted to give her the red fox, without expecting any response from her. He didn't even say he liked her, for fear that she would feel pressured.

Although Nangong Yue has a cute and gentle appearance, she is decisive and direct in her actions. She asked, "Do you like me? Do you want to be with me?"

Su Bo blushed instantly, feeling like his head was about to steam. He never expected Nangong Yue to notice.

But he really didn't intend to use this to ask Nangong Yue to be with him, so he replied, "I haven't thought about that. I just want to be good to you."

"Squeak... squeak..."

Just then, the little fox cried out.

Su Bo glanced at them and exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, they've opened their eyes!"

Su Bo simply dropped the subject.

The two looked at them in amazement, and Nangong Yue said, "Their eyes are so special."

Supo echoed, "Yes, like their mother."

The baby red foxes have blue eyes, as do their mothers. These eyes are not only beautiful, but they can also be used to charm.

Su Bo and Nangong Yue each chose one as their spirit pet.

Nangong Yue planned in her heart that once she had saved up enough spirit stones, she would return them to Su Bo, or give him something of equal value.
