Liu Xiaoyuan carried Murong Yuyan directly to the sofa and laid her down. However, the pain in her stomach was excruciating for Murong Yuyan, and her pretty face turned deathly pale.
Seeing Murong Yuyan in this state, Liu Xiaoyuan felt extremely distressed. It was only after consuming the Pure Yang Grass he had brought back that Murong Yuyan had become like this.
"Yan, you'll be alright, you'll be alright." Liu Xiaoyuan held Murong Yuyan's right hand tightly, comforting her.
However, the pain in her stomach made Murong Yuyan completely unable to listen to Liu Xiaoyuan's words.
"Young man, don't worry, this is a normal reaction." Just then, the system's voice suddenly rang out. Liu Xiaoyuan was delighted to hear this. This wretched system had finally spoken again.
"Handsome system, what do you mean by that?" Liu Xiaoyuan already understood what the system meant, but just to be on the safe side, he asked again.
The system said, "How can you be so stupid? This is a normal reaction for your woman after she took the Pure Yang Grass. Your woman's body is purely Yin, while the Pure Yang Grass contains Yang energy. When Yin and Yang combine, there will naturally be a strong reaction, just like when you took a woman's virginity for the first time..."
The more this system talked, the more outrageous it became. Towards the end, it sounded like a seasoned veteran.
Upon learning that this was a normal reaction, Liu Xiaoyuan breathed a sigh of relief, as he was truly afraid that the Pure Yang Grass would cause Murong Yuyan's death.
"Yuyan, just bear with it, it'll be alright, everything will be alright." Liu Xiaoyuan squatted down beside the sofa, holding Murong Yuyan's small hand to comfort her.
By touching Murong Yuyan's hand, Liu Xiaoyuan discovered that Murong Yuyan's hand was no longer as cold as before, and her body temperature was gradually rising. Liu Xiaoyuan was very happy, which proved that the Pure Yang Grass had worked.
Looking at Murong Yuyan's face again, although her face had turned deathly pale due to the pain, a gas was rising directly from the top of her head.
The gas emitted a hazy white light, much like dry ice directly exposed to the air.
This must be the effect of the Pure Yang Grass forcing out the Yin energy from Murong Yuyan's body.
Gradually, Murong Yuyan felt that her stomach was not as painful as before, and she felt much better.
"Swift, are you feeling better?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked quickly when he saw that Murong Yuyan's screams had subsided a little.
Murong Yuyan nodded and said, "Yes, much better. It doesn't hurt like it did before."
Murong Yuyan's stomach pain subsided, and she naturally regained the strength to speak.
Seeing that Murong Yuyan's health was gradually improving, Liu Xiaoyuan finally felt relieved.
Liu Xiaoyuan felt a huge weight lifted from his heart, while the auction house manager was completely dumbfounded, feeling as if he'd been screwed over.
He was initially pleased with himself for selling a Pure Yang Grass for 4,000 low-grade spirit stones, hoping to receive a reward from his superiors. However, just as he was excitedly about handing over the spirit stones, he discovered that 4,230 low-grade spirit stones were missing.
These are the spirit stones used to buy the Pure Yang Grass, aren't they? How could they be missing? The manager personally put the spirit stones in; how could they have vanished?
The superior glared at the manager and said, "Did you think I was lying to you? Look for yourself, see how many spirit stones are in your storage bag."
The steward immediately took the storage bag and counted the spirit stones inside, and damn it, there were indeed more than four thousand low-grade spirit stones missing.
Holy crap, where did this spirit stone go? Did it grow wings? Even if it did, it wouldn't escape his eyes.
Since the spirit stones were gone, the responsibility naturally fell on the manager. The manager had been happily telling his superiors about what happened that day, hoping to receive a reward.
Now look what's happened! Forget about any commendation, just wait for the punishment!
"I don't care what the reason is, you have to make up for the missing four thousand spirit stones yourself, or you know the consequences!" The superior simply flicked his sleeves and left.
After the superiors left, the manager angrily returned to the auction house to investigate the theft of the spirit stones. The woman from the previous auction, upon receiving news of the missing spirit stones, immediately checked her own and discovered that the two spirit stones the manager had given her were also gone.
However, she dared not say it, because if she did, she might end up taking the blame!
The steward investigated thoroughly, but couldn't find any suspects, because the spirit stone hadn't been stolen; it had simply vanished on its own. Therefore, even if the steward were Sherlock Holmes reincarnated, there was nothing he could do.
This incident caused quite a stir at the auction, but Liu Xiaoyuan, who was in Murong Yuyan's room, knew nothing about it. Even if he did, he would just laugh it off.
Murong Yuyan's body gradually returned to normal, and her face regained a rosy hue. However, the pain she had experienced earlier had left her covered in sweat, even wetting her hair.
Moreover, he had no strength at all.
Murong Yuyan wanted to take a shower, but felt sticky and uncomfortable all over.
Murong Yuyan tried to stand up on her own, but found that she had no strength to stand up at all. Liu Xiaoyuan helped her to her feet.
"Big star, do you want me to help you take a shower?" Liu Xiaoyuan asked with a grin, his manner clearly not that of a good person.
Murong Yuyan rolled her eyes at Liu Xiaoyuan and said, "I don't need your help, you big bad guy, I can manage on my own!"
After saying this, Murong Yuyan sat back down on the sofa to rest and recover her strength.
Half an hour later, Murong Yuyan finally felt her strength return and tried to stand up. Liu Xiaoyuan wanted to help her, but Murong Yuyan stopped him, saying, "I can manage on my own!"
Liu Xiaoyuan didn't go; he wanted to see if Murong Yuyan could stand up on her own.
As it turned out, Murong Yuyan actually stood up. After standing up, Murong Yuyan gave Liu Xiaoyuan a look, as if to say, "I'm amazing, aren't I?"
To encourage Murong Yuyan, Liu Xiaoyuan gave her a thumbs up and said, "Amazing, my superstar is really amazing."
"Who's your big star? Don't talk nonsense." Murong Yuyan said this, but she was secretly delighted, feeling as sweet as if she had eaten honey.
Murong Yuyan tried to take a step and found that she could walk without any problem. Then she walked around the living room.
"Xiao Yuan, what happened to me just now? Was it because you gave me that herb?" Murong Yuyan asked.
Liu Xiaoyuan thought to himself that if he mentioned the herb, Murong Yuyan would definitely investigate further and ask what the herb was used for and why she was given it to eat.
"Big star, how would I know the reason? I'm not a doctor. If you want to know, wait until I get a medical license, and then I can tell you the answer," Liu Xiaoyuan said with a smile.
