Chapter 413 How could he be so shameless?
The two entered the pharmacy, with Jiang Nuanzhi following behind Li Rong with a smile this time.
Li Rong noticed the gaze behind him and inexplicably became nervous. He took a deep breath, strode to the medicine cabinet, and asked, "Shopkeeper, how much is Chuanqiong?"
The pharmacy owner, who was sitting and dozing with a jar of licorice in his arms, was startled by the sudden noise. He slowly raised his head, displeased. What he saw was a thick, muscular forearm with bulging veins and a knife scar.
The shopkeeper's anger dissipated completely, and he subconsciously looked over, only to meet a pair of indifferent eyes that almost exuded a murderous aura. A stench of blood wafted towards him.
Li Rong habitually tapped the cabinet with his fingers, and due to his nervousness, the wooden board on top of the cabinet cracked.
The shopkeeper had already shrunk behind the licorice jar: "Sir, what medicine do you need?"
"Chuanqiong, how much?" Li Rong repeated, his mind replaying the tactics Anuan used when she was negotiating the price.
However, before he could even utter the first sentence about comparing prices at three different stores, the shopkeeper tremblingly brought out the entire box.
"Sir, please be lenient... We're just a small business, thank you for looking after us. Consider this a token of our respect to you."
"I'm not," Li Rong tried to salvage the situation, but the fierceness honed by years of battlefield experience lingered in his brows. The shopkeeper was so startled that he accidentally knocked over the licorice jar.
The shopkeeper stared at the calluses on the man's hand, swallowed hard, and said, "Yes, yes, sir, is that all? What else do you need? I'll go get it for you right away."
Jiang Nuanzhi stared in disbelief from behind.
I never expected things to develop this way.
"Shopkeeper, I'm paying in silver, just tell me how much!" Li Rong frowned.
The shopkeeper, trembling, pushed aside the abacus: "Five coins? No, four coins! Or three coins?"
Seeing that the old man's expression was getting worse and worse, the shopkeeper was almost in tears. He came out from behind the counter and bowed deeply to Li Rong: "Sir, how much silver do you want to pay?"
Li Rong: "You don't need to do that. Just tell me how much money you usually make!"
"Our Sichuan ginseng usually sells for 220 yuan."
Before the shopkeeper could finish speaking, a loud crash was heard.
Just as Li Rong was about to help the man up, three poisoned darts from his sleeve clattered to the ground—
Oh no, the old man insisted that he take this with him when he went out, saying that he was poisoned now and was not the same as before, so he needed it for self-defense.
The shopkeeper stared wide-eyed at that moment, and then suddenly knelt down with a thud.
"Sir, I beg you! Take whatever you want, just don't kill me. I have elderly parents and young children to support."
Li Rong: "."
Jiang Nuanzhi: "."
As the two of them carried two bags of medicinal herbs out, Jiang Nuanzhi glanced at Li Rong and saw that Li Rong's face was stiff and his ear tips were so red that they were almost bleeding. She couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Li Rong took two stiff steps, but could not bear it any longer. He then picked the person up by the waist and carried him back to the donkey cart in the blink of an eye.
Hiding behind the donkey cart, and no longer able to see the shopkeeper, he secretly let out a heavy sigh of relief. Then he stood up.
Jiang Nuanzhi tried to hold back, but couldn't help bursting out laughing again.
"General Li, there's no better negotiator than you."
The two were so frightened that they couldn't very well not buy anything, so they simply gave a fair price, and both were satisfied.
"Anuan." Li Rong wiped the sweat from his forehead helplessly. "I'm so embarrassed."
Jiang Nuanzhi looked at him again in a daze and poked his arm: "How about we go shopping for clothes later and you bargain for them?"
"No way?" Li Rong was now really considering backing out.
"Come on, come on, don't be shy!" Jiang Nuanzhi grabbed him and pulled him away, not giving him a chance to back down.
In no time, Jiang Nuanzhi and her companion had filled the donkey cart to the brim.
“If the Lü family hadn’t also been short of medicine, we wouldn’t have had to go through all this trouble. But today has really gone smoothly. The prices are all quite favorable.” Jiang Nuanzhi looked at Li Rong, whose face was still stiff, and couldn’t help but feel more and more satisfied.
Who would have thought that being a man who looks intimidating could have such an advantage?
"Arong, don't be angry, have a candy." Jiang Nuanzhi sat next to him in front of the donkey cart and handed him a pine nut candy.
Li Rong looked down at her, and before she could speak, the sweet fragrance of her breath filled the air. In a daze, she met her long, narrow, peach-colored eyes and couldn't help but catch her breath: "Anuan, I... I'm not angry."
Jiang Nuanzhi looked up and saw his tightly pursed lips, which made his jawline even more angular: "If you're not angry, why aren't you saying anything?"
Li Rong's thick eyebrows furrowed tightly, and he exhaled softly, "I was just thinking, am I really that terrifying?"
Jiang Nuanzhi propped her head up and looked at him, her eyes sparkling, and she smiled again.
"Anuan." Li Rong's words carried a hint of reproach, yet also a touch of helplessness.
Jiang Nuanzhi stopped teasing him and stared at him for a while: "Who said that? You are extremely handsome."
Li Rong looked at her and said, "Don't try to fool me. A lot of people are afraid of me today. Actually, I've known this for a long time. Those brats call me Iron-Faced Asura behind my back."
Jiang Nuanzhi raised an eyebrow: "Even if he is a Shura, he is a jade-faced Shura."
Li Rong was taken aback, but then he saw Jiang Nuanzhi propping her head up and looking at him carefully. Her pink lips slowly said, "Look at you, your eyebrows are thick like ink splashed by a divine brush, your eyes are deep like stars. Your nose is straight, your lips are neither too big nor too small, they are full and plump, and the color is just right. Your skin tone is also even. Anyone who sees you would praise your handsome appearance."
After saying that, she suddenly pinched his waist and abdomen with her delicate, slender hand.
"More importantly, you have a great physique, eight-pack abs, hard as a rock, so nice to touch."
As Jiang Nuanzhi spoke, she took the opportunity to pinch him twice more.
Li Rong's mind nearly exploded, and he gripped those smooth, delicate hands tightly. His voice was hoarse beyond words: "Anuan."
Jiang Nuanzhi was barely restrained, and pouted in dissatisfaction: "Fine, I won't touch you then."
He tried to pull his hand back, but failed twice.
She looked over in surprise, only to meet Li Rong's deep, almost piercing eyes.
"This isn't good, it's too weak, Ah Nuan, go deeper."
He whispered in Jiang Nuanzhi's ear, and the next second, Jiang Nuanzhi's hand was pulled and slid inside her clothes.
Jiang Nuanzhi: "!!!"
Ahhh!
How could he be so shameless!
However, she likes to hehehe.
An hour later, Jiang Nuanzhi, arms crossed and a look of resentment on her face, jumped off the donkey cart.
"Ah Nuan, don't be angry, I..."
The next second, Jiang Nuanzhi glared at him fiercely, stepped on his foot, and turned to enter her own front door.
Li Rong glanced at the shoe with a footprint, then at Jiang Nuanzhi, touched his nose, then dropped the reins and hurried after her.
Da Niu: Hey? Is nobody taking care of the donkey? If nobody's taking care of it, it's run away!
A quarter of an hour later, Da Niu asked: "Is nobody going to do anything? Hey? Donkey, I'll ask you again later."
