Good food? Isn't the monthly salary supposed to be spirit stones and elixirs?

Could it be that the elixir that Miss concocts has a unique flavor?

Qian Manguan looked a little confused, and his chubby face made him look adorably silly, which was quite comical.

Qian Manguan made a lifelong vow to Heaven, and Ji Fengyao then revealed her true intentions to him.

I heard that she had used the money to buy 100,000 empty jade bottles.

Qian Manguan interjected, somewhat puzzled: "Miss, why do you need so many empty jade bottles? Although ordinary jade bottles are not worth much money, they are usually used to hold precious things, such as pills, valuable liquids, and extremely valuable natural treasures. Each of these can make people think of all sorts of things. If you buy them all at once, it may attract attention."

Upon hearing this, Qian Youying and Ji Fengyao finally considered this point.

One was only thinking about not exposing himself, while the other was completely obedient to his master's orders.

Neither of them had considered the matter thoroughly, and it was only after Qian Manguan brought it to their senses that they realized what was going on.

Ji Fengyao glanced at Qian Manguan approvingly, then flipped her hand and took out a deluxe rice dumpling, tossing it to Qian Manguan and saying, "Not bad, you've gained weight for nothing."

Qian Manguan thought the young lady had given him something wonderful, so he carefully hugged it to his chest. But when he looked at it, it was just a cold rice dumpling. His fat face twitched: Why did he feel like he was being fed like a pig?

He was, after all, the head of a clan, and lived a life of luxury every day.

What's the meaning of her throwing him a rice dumpling?

Twenty breaths later.

Mmm! It smells delicious! Miss, is there any more?

Ji Fengyao estimated the remaining spiritual liquid at the bottom of the mine and asked Qian Youying to purchase 20,000 jade bottles.

The Qian family is one of the three major families in Guyue City, so purchasing 20,000 jade bottles at once is not considered excessive.

The remaining task is to procure 80,000 jade bottles.

He then entrusted Qian Manguan to arrange for other collateral relatives to make purchases in small, irregular amounts.

In the afternoon, Qian Youying's men secretly brought Bai Yusheng, who was in charge of guarding Dongdan Shuiyue, to the Qian family.

Upon seeing Ji Fengyao, Bai Yusheng immediately stepped forward to greet her respectfully.

He used to harbor some romantic feelings for Ji Fengyao.

But ever since Bai Yusu was demoted, Ji Fengyao has had money and money around her, and there are more and more other talented people around her.

Ji Fengyao's talent and wealth have grown increasingly apparent.

Bai Yusheng then completely withdrew his thoughts.

People should have some self-awareness and not fantasize about things they shouldn't.

He was worlds apart from the young lady; even if he could get close to her, he would feel ashamed and uneasy for the rest of his life.

"Hmm," Ji Fengyao was unaware of Bai Yusheng's little thoughts. She gestured for him to sit down and asked directly, "What's the current situation at the Dongdan family's mine?"

“The situation is not good.” Bai Yusheng shook his head solemnly: “The Dongdan family sent several groups of disciples into the cave to investigate, but most of them never returned. Even those who did return died shortly after leaving the mine, their souls scattered.”

"These people who came out didn't bring back any useful information," Ji Fengyao wondered.

"No, they were already dead when they came out. I went with Dongdan Shuiyue twice and saw those disciples with my own eyes. Their deaths were... quite bizarre." Bai Yusheng still found it hard to believe.

Ji Fengyao and everyone present were drawn to this topic.

Lu Yang frowned and asked, "What's so strange about it? Could it be like last time, where he was torn to pieces?"
