Chapter 236 is absolutely toxic!
Realizing that she had been verbally taken advantage of again, Ye Wanxi glared at Feng Tianyu in anger and embarrassment.
"They know nothing but blindly follow the trend, do they really think this thing is easy to make? The reason they succeeded is because they have love curses in their bodies. If it weren't for these love curses as a medium, I wouldn't bother with it."
Feng Tianyu wasn't angry. He reached out and patted her head, then silently began putting food into the bowl in front of her.
Grandpa Tao, who was sitting on the other side, paused in his actions upon hearing Ye Wanxi's words.
"Miss Ye, you seem to have quite a bit of knowledge about our Gu poison."
Ye Wanxi had just swallowed a large shrimp that Feng Tianyu had given her, and smiled with satisfaction, saying, "It's not really research, it's just that I knew a sister who happened to know how to do this."
Ye Wanxi was referring to her second sister-in-law, who was also a junior sister of Yun Ke's senior sister.
This young lady comes from Miao territory and is very skilled in using poisons and Gu (a type of venomous insect).
Ye Wanxi's first time going down the mountain for training was with this senior sister from the neighboring peak.
This senior sister has a fiery temper. She is straightforward but not domineering. She can't stand those chauvinistic men who look down on women.
The reason Ye Wanxi knew how to use love potions was because when they went down the mountain for training, they happened to visit an old friend of this senior sister.
My senior's old friend is already married, and she's heavily pregnant but still has to manage all the household affairs.
Her husband, a dissolute rich playboy, neglected his pregnant wife, spending his days seeking pleasure and frequenting brothels, rarely returning home.
When the senior sister found out about this, she was furious. She devised a plan to curse the two of them and then used the spell that Ye Wanxi had just drawn for them to connect their five senses. This made the playboy experience the hardship of pregnancy and childbirth, and he would never dare to go out and cause trouble again.
Grandpa Tao was a little curious about the sister Ye Wanxi mentioned, but he could tell that Ye Wanxi didn't want to say more, so he didn't ask any further questions.
After the meal, Ye Wanxi and Feng Tianyu tactfully took their leave.
Before leaving, Mr. Shi gave Ye Wanxi a large red envelope.
After all, it was the fruit of her own labor, so Ye Wanxi accepted it with a clear conscience, and a happy smile was on her face on the way back.
"You like money so much?"
"Who doesn't like money? Besides, aren't I here to support you?"
Upon hearing her words, a glint of light flashed in Feng Tianyu's eyes, and a certain idea began to stir within him.
When Feng Tianyu brought Ye Wanxi back, it was almost 2 p.m. Gao Min had also returned from the Bai family, carrying many bags and things.
Ye Wanxi was startled: "Why did you buy so much stuff? What is it all?"
"I didn't buy it, it was a gift from Grandpa Bai." Gao Min put the things down, wiped the sweat from her forehead, picked up the water glass next to her and gulped down a large cup before she felt alive again.
"I just delivered those two new pills you made to the Bai family. When Old Master Bai and Young Master Bai heard that they were from you, they took them without a second thought. And you know what? As soon as they took the pills, their complexions improved a lot. Old Master Bai was so happy that he had his butler bring out so many tonics, saying they were for you to improve your health."
“I thought you’ve really suffered a lot lately and need to replenish your energy, so I brought them all back.” Gao Min glanced at Ye Wanxi with a hint of worry and asked in a low voice, “Is it… alright? If you feel it’s inappropriate, I’ll have someone return it later?”
"Why return it when you've already taken it?" She never intended to ask for anything in return, and there was nothing wrong with reciprocating.
"Is there anything you'd like to eat? I'll make a soup later, and we can have it together tonight." Ye Wanxi lifted the boxes and glanced at them; most of them contained nourishing foods like bird's nest and ginseng.
Although she also had these things in her storage ring, the medicinal properties of the items in her storage ring were too strong. It was fine for her to eat them, but for someone with high sensitivity, they might not be able to tolerate the benefits and would have the opposite effect.
"Let me do it. You just sit and wait for the food. You've been cooped up in your room these past few days, can your body handle it? And what about your previous injury..."
"I'm almost fully recovered." Knowing that Gao Min had been very worried about her all this time, Ye Wanxi quickly came up with the excuse she had prepared beforehand.
"I was in the hospital for so long because my injuries were so severe that I was unconscious and my body's ability to recover was poor, which delayed things. It's different after I woke up. I can heal the internal damage on my own, and I'm recovering much faster than before. Also, I have some medicine that I've been making myself. I estimate that after taking it for another two or three days, I'll be fully recovered."
Although this sounded far-fetched, Gao Min had witnessed many strange things during her time with Ye Wanxi, and was easily fooled.
Especially since she had just taken the pills that Ye Wanxi had given her, the effects were immediate; it wouldn't be an exaggeration to call them a miracle cure.
"That's good, that's good. You really scared me to death. Thank goodness you're alright, otherwise..."
Before Gao Min could finish speaking, Ye Wanxi couldn't help but cover her ears: "I know I was wrong. You've said these words so many times these past few days. My ears are tired of hearing them."
Gao Min rolled her eyes at her: "I need to tell you more so you'll remember. If you dare to do this again, believe me, I'll squat by your bedside and nag you like a monk for three days and three nights."
"...Fine, I give up. I promise it won't happen again. By the way, has the company assigned me any work lately? Or has anyone asked me to tell their fortune?"
Since the zoo reality show ended, she hasn't worked for almost a month, spending her days in the hospital and at home, practically growing mushrooms.
She had been preoccupied with her senior brother's affairs, but now that the medicine was ready, it would take some time for him to recover his soul. So she needed to find something to keep herself occupied and earn money to support him.
Gao Min was still a little worried when she heard her ask this: "Are you really okay? Actually, there's no need to rush."
"I'm really okay now! I'm perfectly fine. Do I have a job?"
"Yes, we do. We still have all the ones Mr. Zou sent before. I'll get them for you in a bit, and you can take a look and see if there's anything you like."
As Gao Min spoke, she seemed to have thought of something and frowned, saying, "Besides, after your previous incident, several small endorsements that were about to expire saw that things weren't going well and wanted to extort money from us before the contracts were terminated, demanding that we pay liquidated damages on the grounds that 'you violated the contract during the contract period and damaged the endorsed products and the company's image.'"
Ye Wanxi knew that Gao Min was probably referring to the small endorsements that person had taken on before she returned to the world.
Thinking back to when I first returned, the astronomical sum of penalty fees I'd accumulated...
After going around in circles for so long, we're still stuck on the breach of contract penalty. It's maddening!
