A farmer has a shrewish wife; he's busy making money every day.

Chapter 319 Reunion

When Chi Miaoxian said "I can do it," Ye Qingxue felt instantly reassured.

Then we can fight this battle.

She took a deep breath and asked, "When will it be ready? Can it be mass-produced?"

Ye Qingxue's solemn tone made Chi Miaoxian take it seriously as well, and she could no longer recall the hidden, tender emotions she had just felt.

"We're just one step away from the final one. Only a limited number of parts of the medicinal herb are usable, so large-scale production will probably be difficult..."

"It's alright," Ye Qingxue said calmly. "I'll provide the spiritual herbs."

Chi Miaoxian blinked. This spiritual herb was carefully cultivated by her during those years in the Chi tribe, using a superior variety that she had painstakingly searched for outside. Could it be that she could just provide it casually because she said she could?

However, what she didn't know was that while Ye Qingxue couldn't just provide things casually, she couldn't prevent Ye Qingxue from having a cheat code.

As long as she encounters a spiritual herb that the system determines can belong to her, it will give her some seeds based on the rarity of the herb.

Although her master may no longer be around, the system's basic functions are still running, but no one is giving her extra help anymore.

Ye Qingxue knew she might not believe it, but she couldn't explain it either: "If you have enough raw materials, you can produce it in large quantities, right?"

Chi Miaoxian pursed her lips and said cautiously, "The last step is not yet successful, and I am not entirely confident, but if we can make the first potion, the rest will be much simpler."

"That's fine then." Ye Qingxue quickly replied, "I'll set up a pharmacy for you tomorrow. Feel free to use whatever's in there. Just let me know if you need anything."

“…Okay.” Chi Miaoxian nodded with three parts doubt, three parts hesitation, and four parts helplessness.

The next day, she no longer had any of those messy emotions.

The pharmacy in front of us looks ordinary, but it has everything you could possibly need.

Rows of finished medicines gleamed beautifully in the morning light, while on the other side of the shelf, various powders, dried insects, and herbs were neatly arranged, along with a full range of tools.

Her medicinal herb was also displayed on the table, emitting faint blue fluorescence.

This is far superior to what she used in the Temple of the Goddess and the Imperial Palace.

Chi Miaoxian was now completely convinced that Ye Qingxue might really be able to provide her with a continuous supply of raw materials.

Seeing her expression, Ye Qingxue knew that her preparations were satisfactory, so she patted her shoulder and said, "Work hard, try to be as fast as possible, oh, by the way..."

As she spoke, she took a book from the table and opened it in front of her to show it to her: "This is a secret method of an ancient tribe. I have been trying to make the antidote for a long time but I have not been able to. While you are doing 'anti-spirit', you can also help me to study this."

Ye Qingxue's research on Guan Fei's antidote had stagnated for a long time. She always felt that there were gaps in her knowledge, which prevented her from solving this problem.

Everyone has their own expertise, and since there was a professional available, she simply handed the task over to her.

After receiving all the tasks, Chi Miaoxian didn't ask any questions and quickly got to work.

This was something she had been doing since she was a child, so it wasn't difficult. Besides, they had rescued her, and she had no reason to refuse out of gratitude.

Moreover, Ye Qingxue said that this was all to deal with people she hated.

Although there wasn't time to explain everything clearly, Chi Miaoxian was happy just thinking about it, and she became more focused at work.

Unbeknownst to her, after Ye Qingxue left, she turned around and stood in front of Lu Ningyuan's tent.

After the guard went in to report, Lu Ningyuan let her in, his voice sounding somewhat puzzled.

Ye Qingxue stood in front of him with her arms crossed and noticed that he was much thinner and more haggard than when they first met, and the shadows in his eyes were even deeper.

Without beating around the bush, she asked, "Are you worried about Chi Miaoxian?"

Lu Ningyuan's eyelids twitched slightly, and he looked away: "Is there anything I can do for you?"

He was protected here, so he was naturally prepared to be called upon to do things at any time.

Ye Qingxue nodded: "Go two tents to the right and go inside to help."

Lu Ningyuan nodded: "What is it for?"

Ye Qingxue called back the people who were about to leave: "The people inside will tell you what to do. Don't go yet. Clean yourself up first."

"Hmm?" Lu Ningyuan was a little puzzled. Most of the men in the military camp were big and burly, and it was common for them to walk around shirtless. He had just been too worried lately to take care of his beard, so he shouldn't have to pay too much attention to it.

However, Ye Qingxue insisted, and he listened to her anyway.

After he nodded, he thought it would be a simple wash, but Ye Qingxue asked someone to boil water for him to take a bath.

In military camps, bathing is not a big deal, and taking a hot shower alone in a tent is a luxury.

Looking at the steaming bathtub, Lu Ningyuan wondered for a moment if he was dreaming.

He hesitated for a long time before finally speaking: "Sister-in-law, I may not be able to accept your feelings... Sigh!"

What nonsense are you talking about?

Ye Qingxue gave him a flick on the forehead: "Don't be so narcissistic. You'll be thanking me in a bit. I'm leaving. Go find someone yourself after you're done washing up."

Lu Ningyuan watched Ye Qingxue leave, completely bewildered, leaving only a cold, indifferent back view.

It seems that he has kept his achievements and fame hidden.

"what the hell……"

—

Chi Miaoxian sat at the workbench, having just completed a step and carefully preserved the successfully reacted liquid, letting out a heavy sigh of relief.

On the other side, a pale blue spiritual herb was burning. After another half hour, it would be completely fused.

Having gained a brief moment of free time, Chi Miaoxian was supposed to prepare another medicine that Ye Qingxue had asked her to make, but...

A figure inexplicably flashed into her mind again.

After learning last night that he had already married someone else, Chi Miaoxian deliberately avoided thinking about him and filled her mind with serious matters.

But that person was indeed too persistent; in just a moment's time, he could fill her entire mind with his presence.

why?

He's just a bastard who thinks with his lower body; he has absolutely no sincerity.

During those years, apart from hearing him call her "baby" once in bed, the man was extremely indifferent to her at all other times, and he also liked to send her strange and bizarre animals to scare her.

She was so angry that she used all of it to make medicine.

Chi Miaoxian thought about many things from the past. She should have been angry, but her heart felt inexplicably sour and empty.

How could someone like that actually get married?

she thinks.

That's right. Ye Qingxue is a smart and capable woman. Anyone would like her.

But... what about the man who was with her at the time?

Chi Miaoxian couldn't control herself, so she simply let herself think about it, letting that empty feeling slowly grow in her heart.

I wonder where he is now? Since he belongs to Ye Qingxue... he should be with her, right?

Perhaps, we can meet again?

No, not seeing each other is the best option.

Chi Miaoxian was lost in thought, the container beside her bubbling with steam, and she didn't hear the sounds coming from outside the tent.

Lu Ningyuan called out a few times from outside, but no one responded, so he simply lifted the tent flap and stepped inside.
