Chapter 46 046 The Li Family's Arrow

After the meal, Jiang Yan applied the medicine to those people again.

When applying the medicine, she tried to infuse the animals with some spiritual energy, but it didn't seem to work.

Xiaomei said her level was too low and she needed to level up for a while longer.

Jiang Yan resigned herself to her fate. She would take it slow; haste makes waste.

There weren't many medicinal herbs left in the space, so she assigned some tasks to those few animals today.

Dongfang Chen, Gongsun Jin, and Lin Yun went to the nearby mountains to find some medicinal herbs.

She then took Lingyue, Xiaobai, and Shen Yuchen to the market to buy supplies.

Lin Yun was naturally unhappy when he heard that the rabbit wanted to follow Jiang Yan, but since the woman had ignored him all morning, he was at a loss for what to do.

Feng Qingyu kicked the spicy strips beside her feet and chuckled, "Let's go."

Lin Yun quickly wrapped herself around his legs, frowning as she said, "She wouldn't actually like that shameless rabbit, would she?!"

Feng Qingyu glanced down at her: "You haven't even figured out your own feelings, why bother caring so much?"

"I..." Lin Yun slumped down, resting her head on his shoe and muttering, "Why should I tell that old monster?"

Feng Qingyu did not continue that topic.

At the market.

Jiang Yan took the animals for a stroll around the streets, bought some herbs and put them in her magic bag, and then bought some vegetables and threw them in as well.

I have so many adorable pets, I need to stock up on these things.

Jiang Yan originally planned to buy the things and then go back to prepare the meal, but when she passed by a teahouse, 'Coal Ball' was attracted by the aroma of pastries inside.

The black ball kept rubbing against her legs, whimpering, "Master, I'm hungry~ Coal Ball is hungry~"

Jiang Yan frowned and looked helplessly at the dark mosaic at her feet, feeling utterly speechless.

I just fed it five big bowls of noodles this morning, and it's hungry again? Its stomach is a bottomless pit!

The coal ball continued its pitiful whining: "Can I just buy one piece? Waaah~ Even a tiny bite is fine~ Please, Master~"

Jiang Yan sighed helplessly, picked up the little trinket at her feet and walked inside: "Boss, bring out all your specialty pastries! And some of your specialty dishes as well."

Its eyes, as bright as copper bells, suddenly lit up, and it happily rubbed its chin against Jiang Yan's: "Waaah~ Coal Ball's owner is the best in the world!"

Jiang Yan carried it and led the others to the second floor, choosing a seat by the window. Soon after, the waiter brought up stacks of delicious-looking pastries.

"Please enjoy your meal!"

Jiang Yan took out spirit stones from her money pouch and slapped them on the table: "If there's not enough to eat later, I'll call you again."

The boy nodded, took the spirit stones, and left with a smile.

Jiang Yan said to the black dumpling in front of her and the three mosaics, "Eat up, try them all. We won't make lunch."

Coal Ball immediately picked up the osmanthus cake in front of him and, in the blink of an eye, poured it all into his mouth.

Seeing that he was about to pour out a second plate, Jiang Yan quickly stopped him, "Aren't you afraid of choking if you eat like that! Eat slowly! Nobody's going to take it from you!"

As she spoke, she picked up a piece and held it to its mouth, saying, "You have to chew slowly for it to digest well, you know?"

"Oh!" Coal Ball happily leaned over and took a bite.

After Jiang Yan finished feeding it the pastry, it rubbed against her hand affectionately, saying, "I want Master to feed me again~"

Jiang Yan looked at the black mosaic and resignedly handed it another piece of pastry.

There's nothing I can do; I brought this thing home myself, so I can only spoil it.

The three mosaic figures opposite stared at the coal ball with a hint of sour envy in their eyes.

This guy is way too pampered... It's one thing to be cuddled to sleep, but now he even has to be fed?!

After finishing her food, Jiang Yan heard someone at the next table say, "I wonder how long that sickly fellow from the Li family can last?"

"He really is a jinx. Since he came back, the Li family's centuries-old foundation has plummeted. First, the whole family was almost slaughtered, and then the medicine shop was in constant chaos. It probably won't last much longer."

"He's a monster to begin with, his existence is a joke. If the Li family had no one else to rely on, why would they have called him back? All their scheming was for nothing in the end."

Jiang Yan frowned slightly.

Suddenly, the image of the arrow she had picked up last night flashed through her mind; the runes on it were unique to the Li family.

Thinking of Li Shu, Jiang Yan couldn't help but frown. That scumbag was really strange.

Suddenly, he remembered that he had made an appointment with Li Shu's steward yesterday to meet before dark today to discuss those medicinal herbs.

Although Jiang Yan didn't think Li Shu would sell her the medicine, she still had to see him because of the arrow he shot her last night.

She stood up and said to the others, "Go back now that you've finished eating."

The 'coal ball' suddenly bounced onto her shoulder.

After eating and drinking to their hearts' content, they squinted their large, bell-like eyes with a look of pure joy and settled comfortably on Jiang Yan's shoulder.

That eerie expression sent shivers down the spines of the surrounding customers...

It even mischievously bared its teeth at those people, scaring them so much that they gasped in fright.

'Coal Ball' found it extremely interesting and sat on Jiang Yan's shoulders, nodding and swaying happily.

Jiang Yan reached out and patted its head, her tone both helpless and subtly indulgent: "Don't be silly."

The coal briquette immediately sat up straight and said, "Mmm~"

When Jiang Yan returned to the inn with the animals, the innkeeper told her that someone was looking for her.

She looked in the direction he was pointing and saw a figure hurrying towards her not far away.

Jiang Yan recognized the person by their figure.

"Uncle Wang."

"Miss Jiang, please come to my residence immediately!"

Jiang Yan noticed a slight surprise in his tone and asked, "Has something happened?"

"It's the young master... Anyway, please come with me as soon as possible, considering that he helped me last night!"

Jiang Yan nodded. "Okay."

Li Mansion.

Before even entering the backyard, a strong medicinal smell could be detected.

Jiang Yan secretly analyzed the ingredients of the medicine, which seemed to be used to boost one's energy. The servants in the courtyard hurried along, their faces flustered.

As Butler Wang led Jiang Yan toward Li Shu's bedroom, he explained Li Shu's condition to her.

Li Shu's situation was more complicated than Jiang Yan had imagined, but the butler did not mention where his injuries came from, and Jiang Yan did not ask any further questions.

He simply retrieved a bottle of pills from the system and handed it to Steward Wang.

She spoke frankly: "This medicine can help Li Shu improve his energy, but it can't cure the root cause. To cure it completely, we need to regulate his body first."

Although that person was a scoundrel, she really couldn't stand idly by because of the arrow she shot last night.

When they arrived at Li Shu's room, two doctors were administering acupuncture to him.

Upon seeing Steward Wang approach, one of them shook his head and sighed, "Steward Wang, we really have no way to cure the young master's illness. Unless we have a miraculous cure, it will be a waste of effort to keep him alive."

Butler Wang looked at him pleadingly, "Dr. Chen, please do your best! I have new medicine here! Please, you must try it again!"

The man opened the lid, sniffed it, then turned around and took the pill to feed the person on the bed.

After administering the pill, another injection was given, and the person on the bed finally showed some reaction.
