"Miss Li Aili, do you frequent this place?" the flaxen-haired girl asked.
"I came here because of its reputation."
Ba Jin's big, round eyes rolled around, and his smile became even more "honest."
"Of course!"
[Just as I suspected! Damn it! That shameless woman must be hiding something in this shop!]
"This is an alchemical potion for beauty and health; women love it!" the minotaur said, seizing the opportunity to promote it.
“But, but I’m only 16 years old…” Marina looked completely bewildered.
"My God! She's already sixteen! She really needs to start taking care of her appearance! It's too late! Have you seen our Duchess yet?"
"Isn't she beautiful? She's been using our alchemical skincare products since she was born!"
So this is it?
Marina's gaze towards those alchemical potions changed.
Li Aili's lips twitched involuntarily.
Seriously, does anyone actually believe that?
"Give me 10, no, give me 100 bottles of this 'beauty potion'!"
Li Aili: "..." Hello, simple-minded girl.
The minotaur hesitated, saying, "Hey, we don't have that much stock left."
"You know, all the high-society ladies in the entire city center are placing orders with us. This stuff is in very high demand."
Marina tensed up immediately upon hearing this, "I can pay more!"
The minotaur pretended to take out a small notebook filled with orders for "Desire Potion".
He flipped through the pages quickly in front of Marina.
"Hey, that won't do. Look, the orders are already booked until next month."
"So, I only have 10 slightly flawed beauty potions left. If you really want them... I'll reluctantly give you a 9.99% discount and sell them to you."
Marina, still retaining her basic rationality, immediately frowned and asked, "What flaw? How could I possibly use something with a flaw?"
The minotaur lowered his voice and said, "Actually, it's not really a flaw, it's just that after taking it, your stomach will feel bloated."
"But the beauty benefits are even better after detoxifying. Everyone says detoxification is good for your complexion, so detoxifying is good for your complexion, right?"
"Our products are primarily focused on health and beauty!"
The minotaur's eyes darted around, and he pointed at Li Aili, saying, "This lady is so beautiful because she used our product!"
Marina looked in the direction the minotaur pointed out and saw a stunningly beautiful woman with fair skin.
[Damn it! That Li Aili must have used this! And then she seduced the Duke!]
Instantly, her eyes blazed with fury. "I want them all!"
[With this medicine! I'll become even more beautiful, how could I not be completely captivated by Arthur Cold Jade?!]
Li Aili, who had originally intended to persuade him, once again gave up the idea.
The minotaur's smile suddenly became more genuine. "Alright~ We'll wrap it up for you right away!"
The minotaur walked past the shelf and said, "Hey, judging from your appearance, you must have a lover, right?"
Marina smiled shyly.
Ba Jin immediately said, "Then this 'Charm Potion' will definitely suit you!"
Li Aili then saw the minotaur openly take out the 'flight potion' that he had previously sold to the adventurer.
"This is a [Charm Potion], which can enhance your charm in the heart of your beloved~ but it has one small flaw~"
Marina now completely trusted the minotaur salesperson in front of her. "It's alright, just wrap it up for me, I, I want it!"
[This could be added to the Cold Jade Duke's drink when the opportunity arises.]
[Hmph! I'll make that cold-blooded man grovel at my feet like a dog!]
If it works well, I can buy a bottle for my mother before I leave, so she can take it to my father!
The minotaur grinned from ear to ear, "Alright~~ I'll wrap it up for you right away~"
The minotaur, with a bubble the color of a gold coin above his head, says: "Hey, where did this silly sheep come from?"
Li Aili: "..." Fine, then you two can just keep hurting each other.
As Arthur Cold Emerald dismounted, he happened to see Marina being escorted out of the Alchemy House by a minotaur who was smiling with exceptional sincerity.
The duke's eyelids twitched when he saw the pile of bottles carrying a bunch of alchemical reagents behind the marquis.
He silently entered the alchemy room only after Marina boarded the carriage bound for Constantinople.
Li Aili and Ba Jin are counting gold coins together.
"Hehe~ This fat sheep from the capital is so easy to fleece~"
"Our ducal ladies are making a mountain out of a molehill, complaining about the added 'farting effect'."
Look at them, they bought it all without hesitation! Now they've finally cleared out all the hard-to-sell inventory, hehehe.
Li Aili polished a gold coin and exclaimed sincerely, "What a talent!"
To adventurers, it is claimed to be a "Flight Potion".
For those obsessed with love, this is claimed to be a "charm potion".
Anyone with even a shred of conscience wouldn't do such a despicable thing.
"Oh? What did you sell to her? Why don't you tell me?" the Duke's deep voice rang out.
Startled, Li Aili slammed the box full of gold coins shut.
Meeting the Duke's cold, handsome face, she recalled the machinations of Marquis Marina before she left, and guiltily looked away, saying, "It's nothing, just some beauty potions."
Ever since Duke Cold Emerald took Jasmine, the centaur girl, hostage, Ba Jin has been terrified of him.
Once the Duke's cold blue eyes swept over him, he immediately confessed, "The beauty potion just happens to have a little bit of a farting, uh, detoxifying effect."
"Is there anything else?" The Duke's expression relaxed slightly.
