Chapter 48 The Diamond Ring and the Magical Potion
Katerina wanted to ask Ningxuan if she still had a diamond ring.
Today, several nobles came with a group of people to see Katerina on some business. During the conversation, the nobles were all attracted by the diamond ring on Katerina's hand and asked her if she could part with it.
Katerina was reluctant to part with them, but she didn't want to offend the nobles, since these were the most powerful nobles in the Kingdom of Eleanor.
So she thought of Ning Xuan and quickly sent her a message.
Ning Xuan asked Katerina if she wanted the same one, or if something similar would also be fine. Katerina replied that something similar would be fine.
Ning Xuan understood the situation and immediately sent a message to Lin Yuhan.
Lin Yuhan received Ning Xuan's message and was relieved that she was looking at shops, and there was a large shopping mall upstairs with jewelry stores inside.
She ran quickly to the jewelry store to pick out a diamond ring; it was a lab-grown diamond, but it was still very beautiful.
She could afford a real diamond that wasn't too big, but it wasn't as cost-effective as a lab-grown diamond. Since the last one was so well-received, Lin Yuhan decided to choose one with a better price-performance ratio.
Thanks to Lin Yuhan's high efficiency, a transaction that involved traveling between three planes was completed in less than half an hour.
Katerina also gave several kinds of potions this time.
There are the previous Truth Potion, Puppet Potion, and other potions.
The True Taste Potion, just from the name, you can't really guess what it does. It's used to enhance your sense of smell. Just put a drop under your nose, roughly where your philtrum is, and your sense of smell will be greatly enhanced, even more so than a hunting dog.
After using the True Flavor Potion, even in places washed by rain, you can still discern the scent that was present in that place within 7 days.
Furthermore, the range of scents that can be identified is also very long. For example, it is very easy to smell the scents of animals in the mountains, even at the foot of the mountain.
Ningxuan said that this is also very powerful and durable. Only one drop is needed at a time, and one drop can last for a whole day.
There's also the potion that I'd only seen mentioned before, which shrinks you from half-grown to smaller. It comes with a potion that restores your original size. The former can make you grow 2-10 times larger or smaller after taking it, and you can control it with your mind. It can last for a day. The latter will restore you to your original size immediately after you drink it.
Although it seems like it's not needed right now, its uses are quite amazing, and Ning Xuan is very satisfied.
.
The last person to send a message was Wang Erya. She was also actively trying to trade something; she wanted a novel and beautiful piece of jewelry.
Because Wang Erya was going to attend the coming-of-age ceremony of the prefect's daughter in two days, she felt that she had nothing presentable to give as a gift. She dared not use the spoils of war she had captured before, for fear of causing trouble.
Logically speaking, Wang Erya was just an ordinary person who rarely went out, so there was no way she could have any interaction with the daughter of the prefect.
However, things sometimes happen by chance. That day, Wang Erya happened to be taking her two daughters to play at the estate she had bought. On their way back, they met the daughter of the prefect who was returning to the city after offering incense at the temple.
The key point is that the governor's daughter's carriage suddenly went mad, and the coachman was thrown to the ground. Just as the mad horse was about to crash into their carriage, Wang Erya didn't think too much for a moment. In order to protect her daughter, she relied on her strength to grab the mad horse with her bare hands and knocked it unconscious with a palm.
And so, by sheer chance, Wang Erya saved the governor's daughter and became her savior.
Moreover, after a period of study, Wang Erya's speech and behavior were very different from before, so the prefect's daughter had a very good impression of Wang Erya.
Furthermore, the prefect's daughter was offering incense today to honor her deceased mother who had passed away a few years ago. Now that she was in danger and had received help from Wang Erya, she felt that her mother had arranged for Wang Erya to help her in the dark.
And so, Wang Erya and the prefect's daughter got in touch, and the prefect's daughter sent an invitation to Wang Erya's family for her coming-of-age ceremony.
When Ning Xuan heard that it was to be given to a teenage girl, she suddenly remembered that Lin Yuhan had given her a pink crystal bracelet before. The pink color was very suitable for girls, so Ning Xuan traded it over.
Wang Erya traded her jewelry for it, which Ning Xuan found to be exquisite and classically beautiful.
Upon receiving the crystal bracelet, Wang Erya thought it was exceptionally beautiful. She suddenly wished that her daughter, when she grew up, could also confidently wear such beautiful jewelry.
The bracelet Ning Xuan gave was just a single bracelet, without a box. Modern boxes are not convenient to take out in ancient times, so Ning Xuan never brought boxes when trading these jewelry items, regardless of the dimension.
So Wang Erya went to the jewelry shop to buy a suitable box.
.
Ning Xuan felt both satisfied and a little tired after trading took place in several different planes in a single day, probably because she was too excited to see so many good things.
Ning Xuan decided to cook something delicious tonight as a secret celebration for herself, since it was her turn to cook again.
She thought for a while and decided to make a mutton soup with white radish and seasonings, keeping it light and then serving it with dipping sauce.
Lamb soup needs to be simmered for a long time until it's tender and soft, so Ningxuan immediately started making it, first simmering the lamb soup and then slowly preparing the other dishes.
As the aroma of mutton wafted out, Liu Jun and Huang Xiaomei next door both smelled it and realized that someone was eating meat next to them again.
Liu Jun asked in confusion, "You said that when the G Committee came to search last time, they clearly didn't have anything, so how come they were still able to eat meat almost every day?"
"Why do you care about other people's business? We're just running away when they have problems. Whether they eat meat or whatever they eat is none of our concern," Huang Xiaomei said irritably.
Liu Jun knew his wife was angry because he had told her not to get too close to Ning Xuan and the others, and coincidentally, they had run into Lu Xun and his group those two days, and their distant attitude was obvious.
We're all smart people; our relationship will definitely never be the same again.
Liu Jun also regretted it a bit. He should have waited and seen more. But he didn't want to lose face, so he said to Huang Xiaomei, "They're so high-profile. They might encounter other problems in the future. It's probably better if we stay away."
Xiaomei, don't worry, we'll work together, and I'll make sure you have a good life in the future too.
In fact, Huang Xiaomei was also angry with herself. Didn't she also choose to abandon the friendship that had only developed for a short time?
To be honest, she and Liu Jun were the same; she was just ashamed and angry to discover that she was such a timid and cowardly person.
Ning Xuan and her friends didn't care what others thought. Ever since Zhang Qiang and his gang were arrested, they had resumed their habit of eating meat whenever they wanted, focusing on not depriving themselves of anything.
Anyway, even if someone reports it, they won't find any evidence when they search. No matter how much meat smells, it won't be stored. Who knows if someone is just making things up out of thin air because they're craving it?
