This house has very good lighting. The golden tree can be seen from afar, with its green branches and golden trunks complementing each other, and countless birds circling around the treetops.

"So beautiful!" Huo Yuqing couldn't help but sigh.

"Yes, I especially like to take a walk in the square near the Golden Tree. If I have time, I will take a few laps under the big tree. I will feel very comfortable when I come back." Jiang Nannan nodded in response.

Aunt Rat poked her head out of Huo Yuqing's pocket. She seemed very satisfied with the environment here. She squeaked a few times and then climbed along the table leg to the table top.

"Golden Rat? Is that your soul beast companion?" Jiang Nannan asked with some surprise.

"um, yes."

"It seems like you and soul beasts have a strong affinity."

"Sister Nan Nan, do you have a soul beast companion?" Huo Yuqing asked curiously.

"Yes." The girl nodded and blinked mysteriously, "I will introduce her to you later."

"Actually, this room is a bit shabby." Jiang Nannan smiled apologetically, "It doesn't have many furnishings. My teacher and I only stay upstairs when we're busy."

She went to the next room and moved out two beds. "These quilts have hardly been used. They can basically be considered brand new. Xiao Yuhao, please don't despise them."

"Hmm..." Before making the bed, she reached out and rubbed the bed board, "The room seems a little dusty, there are still some places that need to be wiped a little."

"Sister Nan Nan, let me wipe it." Huo Yuqing said hurriedly.

"The room next to the stairs is the bathroom. There are water and rags in it." Jiang Nannan didn't bother to be polite with her and gave instructions directly.

The girl went to fetch water as she was instructed and started cleaning the room.

"Was Sister Nan Nan born in Cuiyu City?" Huo Yuqing asked curiously while wiping the table. Auntie Rat jumped around her hand holding the rag, and seemed a little dissatisfied that Huo Yuqing had wet the place she had chosen to build her nest.

"No, I'm from the Sky Soul Empire and have just moved to Jade City for two years." Jiang Nannan smiled. She took another rag and wiped off a thin layer of dust on the bed. "But I usually study at Shrek Academy... It's only because of the recent holidays that I have time to stay in the store. When school starts, I will be promoted to the fourth grade."

“Sister Nan Nan, are you a student of Shrek Academy?” Huo Yuqing opened her eyes wide. She didn’t expect to see students from Shrek Academy in Emerald City... Tang Ya and Bei Bei, whom she met before, seemed to be fourth-year students of Shrek Academy.

"Xiao Yuhao, do you also want to take the entrance exam for Shrek Academy?" Jiang Nannan paused and asked.

Huo Yuqing nodded.

"Well..." the girl said hesitantly, "To be honest, although Shrek Academy is quite famous on the mainland, I'm afraid it's not as good as you think... In fact, I've already planned to drop out of Shrek Academy."

"Why?" the girl asked in confusion.

When they were in the Duke's Mansion, the servants around them all regarded it as a great honor to study at Shrek Academy, where gods once appeared. The Duchess's two sons who studied at Shrek were praised to the skies.

In Huo Yuqing's opinion, as long as she can graduate from Shrek Academy, her future will be smooth sailing.

"The competition in Shrek Academy is extremely cruel." Jiang Nannan said with a wry smile, "It is a place that does not tolerate reason and only values ​​strength. It is also very unfriendly to soul masters of civilian origin. Last semester, I was a third-year student, and the new head teacher of our class was very unreasonable... She expelled 90% of the students in the class, and I was lucky enough not to be expelled."

Huo Yuqing took a breath of cold air.

"I think, with my ability, it will be difficult to meet her requirements in the new semester." The girl shrugged her shoulders. "I came to Emerald City during the holiday two years ago, and I only studied with the teacher for two holidays."

She thought of her homeroom teacher's teaching method and couldn't help but frowned. "Actually, I think I learned more during these two holidays than I did in the academy."

This girl from a poor family is actually very practical, and one can even say she is straightforwardly utilitarian. She just wants to learn more things that are out of reach for people of her class.

But Shrek Academy pays more attention to actual combat. Whether it is a team battle or a one-on-one or two-on-two, the academy likes to summarize experience in actual combat.

As for the theoretical courses... they either talk about the glorious history of Shrek Academy and the experiences of great men in the history of the academy, or they are very superficial courses on the classification of martial arts and soul skills and the identification of the age of soul beasts.

As for the more profound theoretical content... they will be taught only after the students enter the inner courtyard.

Teacher Lu mentioned a few words casually, which was more than what he said in school, Jiang Nannan secretly complained.

"In this case, I might as well drop out right at the beginning of the semester and save the tuition for the new school year. If I am eliminated and go home, Shrek Academy will not refund my tuition... The tuition of Shrek Academy increases every year. The tuition for the fourth grade is forty gold soul coins, which is not a small amount." The girl said while shaking the bedding she took out. "And I have already thought about how to plan for the future... I also want to be a pharmacist like Teacher Lu. Not only will the income be high, but I can also save many people."

"Sister Nan Nan, have you settled down in Emerald City?"

"Yes!" Jiang Nannan nodded. "I come from a single-parent family. My mother suffers from a very serious heart disease. She was almost unable to hold on. But the doctor at the clinic where my mother lives told me the legend of Jade City... so I brought my mother here."

She was lost in memories, her eyes somewhat dazed as she cast towards a certain point in the void. "At that time, I was actually at my wit's end. The doctor said that if I wanted to cure my mother, I could buy an extremely expensive elixir, but I had no connections and no money... It was really dangerous. I don't even know what I was thinking at the time. I actually dared to take my mother deep into the Xingdou Great Forest when I only had two rings... Maybe this is the courage in desperate situations."

"But the teacher cured my mother." The girl laughed, with a special glow on her beautiful face, probably something like hope or longing. "The teacher said that my mother's disease is very special, and this disease cannot be cured by a healing spirit master simply injecting spirit power. She called many apprentices to see my mother together, study treatment plans, and even waived the medicine fees that I originally needed to pay."

"After that, we settled down in Jade City. The environment here is very good, very suitable for Mom to recuperate... Now that I think about it, this is really the greatest opportunity of my life." She showed a bit of embarrassment on her face, and her voice became small. "In fact, this is also the reason why I want to be an alchemist. The teacher said that you don't have to have a healing spirit to save people. I also want to... well, help others."

The girl who received help also had her own destiny changed.

Jiang Nannan was no longer willing to be limited to being a simple agility-attack soul master, upgrading and becoming stronger ignorantly, and then being respected for her powerful strength. She had found what she really wanted to pursue.

Fate is not yet determined, and no one can tell whether her choice is good or bad... But this is the charm of fate. Jiang Nannan cannot see the road ahead, but she knows that there are not only thorns ahead, but also dreams and hopes.

"That's great." Huo Yuqing sighed softly.

Her mother died of injuries, so she was even happier for Jiang Nannan, who had a similar experience to her.

"Where is Xiao Yuhao? Do you want to settle down in Cuiyu City as well?" Jiang Nannan asked while kneeling beside the bed and spreading the bedding.

She turned around and just saw a hint of envy and loneliness on Huo Yuqing's face. Suddenly she realized something and fell silent.

Finally, she raised her hand and rubbed the girl's head. "Jade City is great, why don't you stay?"

"Sister Nan Nan, actually I..."

"Nannan, are you guys ready upstairs?" Lu Mingyou's soft voice came. Although the voice was not loud, it seemed to echo in my ears. "I remember receiving a yellow crystal ginseng last week. Nannan, can you help me pick a ginseng beard and take it down?"

"I'm coming, teacher!" Jiang Nannan answered loudly, "Yuhao, I'll be right back."

Huo Yuqing leaned against the window and looked at the beautiful golden tree.

Countless bird soul beasts flew up and down from the treetops, making clear and melodious calls and flying around the giant tree.

Huo Yuqing really likes this place - the beautiful giant tree full of life, the soul beasts that are close to humans and their purely curious eyes, and the friendly gazes of the people on the street without any contempt.

These beautiful things seemed to slightly fill the dark emotions in her heart.

The girl felt a little dazed. A week ago, she was still in the woodshed of the White Tiger Duke's Mansion thinking about how she would get revenge in the future.

And now, she was sitting in this bright room, having absorbed the first soul ring of the million-year level, and her future life seemed to have a plan.

This is thanks to the Emperor's Beast and Wang Rui. She and the Emperor's Beast have an agreement, but how can she thank Wang Rui?

Huo Yuqing knew clearly that Wang Rui's identity was probably of great importance.

Wang Rui's offer of help was actually just a casual act. It was just a simple matter for him, and it seemed that he did not take such help seriously.

But for Huo Yuqing, it helped her start a whole new life. It is not an exaggeration to say that it provided her with a brand new life. Naturally, she would do her best to repay this kindness.

But Wang Rui’s name contains the word “Rui”, and the emperor’s auspicious beast… also contains the word “Rui”. It seems like these two of them are quite destined to be together… ?

"Actually, you can pledge yourself to me!" Tianmeng Bingcan suddenly said this, interrupting her thoughts.

“Don’t talk nonsense!” Huo Yuqing’s ears turned slightly red.

"Giving oneself to someone is the most worthless thing. How can it compare to such a kindness?" she murmured.

Huo Yuqing thought of the evil fate between her parents... Her mother gave herself to the Duke of White Tiger, but it was worth nothing.

"The most important thing for me now is to make myself stronger. If I become stronger, I can do a lot of things for Wang Rui, right?" Huo Yuqing whispered, "There's no need to talk about pledge of love. If there's no love, it's meaningless."

Although girls occasionally imagine that they will like someone or fall in love with someone, they also have some somewhat unconventional fantasies in their minds.

But most of the time, Huo Yuqing was actually both afraid of and yearning for love.

She longed for such feelings. Every time she mentioned her love for Dai Hao, an incomparably beautiful look would burst out from her mother's eyes, making that face that had experienced the hardships of life radiate a special glow.

But she also knew that love was the culprit that had brought them to this state. She had only met the Duchess a few times, and all the muddy madness and jealousy in that woman's eyes also came from love.

So she was also afraid of such emotions.

...Besides, now is not the time to think about these things.

"I didn't expect that a little girl like you is quite sober..." Tianmeng Bingcan said embarrassedly.

"What are you looking at?" Wang Rui's voice came from behind her.

Huo Yuqing turned her head away.

The young man was leaning against the door frame with a gentle smile on his face, his red hair falling messily beside his ears, and a pair of golden eyes staring at her intently - like the beautiful sunshine or flowing honey, or any beautiful thing that Huo Yuqing could think of in her mind.

The girl couldn't help but curl her eyes and reveal a sincere and beautiful smile: "I like it here, thank you, Wang Rui!"

She didn't say a word about repaying the debt.

But the girl will keep all the kindness firmly in her heart and will never forget it.

4k8 Oh, if anyone says I'm short and weak again, I'll get angry with you ()

Jiang Nannan was not actually picked up by Wang Rui on his own initiative, she came here on her own, and took a different path from the original... I quite like this kind of thing_(:з」∠)_

Then, Huo Luoli, she had some girlish fantasies, but she was actually rational. She knew that she was too young to consider feelings now, and she also knew that what Tianmeng Bingcan said about repaying a favor by marrying herself was totally wrong, so she retracted her tentacles (?)

The same wood as the wood soul beast that doesn't understand romance_(:з」∠)_

I don't really understand how the list is arranged. I almost had a heart attack looking at it up and down. Yesterday, I collected 4 items, today I added 8 items and collected 560 items. Is this the result of running readers this morning?

Chapter 39 Herbal Medicine Assessment

"I admire you." Lu Mingyou said with a smile, "Master Rui has a good eye for selecting people."

Wang Rui hummed lazily.

Two weeks had passed since he and Huo Yuqing arrived at Cuidanxing.

During these two weeks, Huo Yuqing learned herbal knowledge with Lu Mingyou during the day and practiced hard in the small room upstairs at night, and surprisingly did not fall behind in both.

Wang Rui gave her a relatively advanced meditation technique that was more suitable for the spiritual system. Last week, Huo Yuqing steadily raised her soul power to level fourteen.

At the same time, the girl also mastered the basic herbal knowledge taught by Lu Mingyou.

You know, there are thousands of the most basic and commonly used medicinal materials in the process of refining pills.

In just two weeks, Huo Yuqing learned how to identify these medicinal herbs and learned the basic methods of processing them.

At this moment, the girl was carefully handling a pile of medicinal herbs on the second floor of Cuidan Store.

The pile of medicinal herbs on the wooden table were all jumbled together, and each one was wilting, looking like yellow cabbages left in the field. There were many kinds of herbs, all lumped together without any plan, and there were even some pretty weeds that were useless.
