In the following days, Bei Yutang practiced Qi and practiced the Ice Palm, while preparing the liquid medicine for the Ice Muscle Cream needed for the next half month.
Today, when I went to Lei's Trading Company, Shopkeeper Wang had already asked for over a dozen bottles at once, which was a sheer exorbitant price. Bei Yutang could do it, but she didn't want to give it to them so easily, otherwise it would seem like this thing was too easy to equip.
On the sixth day, Bei Yutang finally prepared ten bottles of liquid medicine. The next day, Bei Yutang brought the medicine to the town and handed it to Shopkeeper Wang as promised.
Shopkeeper Wang smiled as he took the medicine in his hand. Seeing that she was about to leave, he quickly said, "Madam Mu, please wait a moment."
"What's up?"
Shopkeeper Wang asked with a smile, "Madam Mu, have you met anyone recently?"
Bei Yutang immediately thought of the incident six days ago when she was followed.
"Boss, please tell me what you want to say." Bei Yutang looked at him with scrutiny.
Shopkeeper Wang smiled and said, "It's like this. Our Lei's Trading Company has already presented this Ice Skin Cream to the imperial family as a tribute. Now, all the noble ladies in the capital are vying for it. This good thing is always coveted. Especially since you hold the key to the Ice Skin Cream."
"A few years ago, our Lei's Company produced a type of ice silk that felt cool when worn. The Weaver Girl who mastered this technique died of an unexplained illness. Strangely, six months later, Gu's Company also produced ice silk."
After Shopkeeper Wang finished speaking, he observed her reaction. Seeing that her expression remained calm, he continued, "This kind of thing has happened to many other businesses. However, some of the cases involved people who had mastered the technology being coerced or dying for no apparent reason."
"Shopkeeper Wang, are you reminding me or trying to scare me?" Bei Yutang looked at him with a smile.
"I absolutely have no intention of scaring you. In fact, the higher-ups want me to ask you if you can hand over the Ice Skin Cream formula to us for safekeeping. This way, your personal safety will be guaranteed. You can rest assured that we at Lei's Trading Company will never owe you a penny." Shopkeeper Wang said sincerely.
"If I really encounter danger, I will choose to cooperate with the other party. In this way, I will be safe." Bei Yutang said jokingly.
Shopkeeper Wang was embarrassed.
It seemed as if he had said the wrong thing. No, he had said it in the wrong way.
Now that's good, isn't this pushing her onto Gu's Trading Company?
Bei Yutang looked at Shopkeeper Wang, who seemed to be on the verge of tears, and said with a smile, "Don't worry, if I really meet them, I will tell them that the secret recipe has been sold to you."
Shopkeeper Wang's narrowed eyes suddenly gleamed with light. "Thank you very much. However, I still hope they can't find you."
Bei Yutang didn't tell him what happened six days ago. If he knew, he would probably be unable to sleep or eat.
Bei Yutang stood up to say goodbye. As soon as she left the rouge shop, she immediately noticed someone secretly watching her. It seemed that they really had their eyes on her.
Bei Yutang pretended to be oblivious and walked forward. When she was about to leave the city gate, a carriage blocked her way. The curtains opened, revealing a handsome young man sitting inside.
The man looked at her with a smile, "Mrs. Mu, would you mind coming up for a chat?"
"Sir, have you ever heard this saying: men and women should not touch each other." Bei Yutang looked at him with a smile.
The man laughed, got out of the car, looked around, and pointed at the teahouse not far away with his feather fan. "So what about here?"
