Hua Cai remained calm about this person's sudden change of heart from a fan to a hater.
Don't panic unless it's a task target.
There was no response from outside the door, and Hua Cai ignored it, strolling leisurely around the room, occasionally running to the outhouse with the help of a personal attendant.
"Host, can you still move around? How about we try something else?" The system was seeing stars as Hua Cai had been pacing around the room all day.
Hua Cai listlessly kicked her aching legs: "Fine, get me those Nine Yang Divine Skills or Nine Yin Manuals to practice, then I won't have to go through all this trouble to force myself to learn them."
The system choked: "Even if you could get your hands on this, you can't train with this body right now."
"Then what the hell are you talking about?" Hua Cai slammed her fist on the table, looking at the remaining two large jars of medicinal soup with grief and indignation.
No, she's been drinking this stuff all day, and now she feels like throwing up just looking at it.
However, this forced infusion did have some effect. The next morning, her throbbing headache had subsided, making her feel incredibly comfortable.
As for the minor side effects of overdoing it, they can be ignored.
As expected, fortune favors the bold. If I hadn't happened to encounter these two killers, I wouldn't know where I would have gotten so much silver to buy medicinal herbs.
Hua Cai looked at the empty medicine jar, then at the three sealed wine jars lying to one side of the room. She patted the bottles and jars that Huai Li Ke had taken down with satisfaction, wondering if she should go out for a stroll, scout out some places or something.
"Xiao Cai, I heard from people outside that the Japanese army will officially arrive in Gansu tomorrow." The system, which had been quiet for a long time, seemed to have gone to eavesdrop on the gossip.
"Everything is ready, except for the target." Hua Cai patted her waist bag: "Let's go, let's stock up on some supplies."
Outside the door, he should still have that sour face that looks like he owes him eight million taels of silver. When he sees Hua Cai come out, he doesn't even glance in his direction.
"Big brother?" Hua Cai swayed in front of Ying Ge, looking at him with her hands behind her back: "I'm planning to go out and get some fresh air while the big shots are away. Do you want to hitch a ride?"
Well, the ride-sharing was just a casual remark, but she was worried that with her current 15% favorability rating, if she went out without saying a word, this person might mistake her for running away and just chop her up with a sword.
He should have looked down, but after staring at those two dark circles under their eyes for two seconds, he silently looked away.
Hua Cai: ...What does this mean?
Does it mean, "Go ahead and let this expert know"?
Or does it mean, "Heh, you dare to take a step out and see if I don't send you on your way"?
Communicating with someone who has facial paralysis is exhausting.
One second, two seconds.
"Holy crap? Did something happen that I missed? How did the favorability rating jump to 65 again?" The system's ghostly voice suddenly exploded in her ears, making Hua Cai's head buzz.
Blinking her slightly dry eyes, Hua Cai looked at the face that still seemed unresponsive and tentatively took a step forward.
No response.
Take another step forward.
Still no movement.
"Hoo—" Hua Cai let out a long breath.
It seems this person doesn't care about themselves anymore. With our current level of goodwill towards them, it's not like they'd risk their life over a single disagreement.
Yes... I guess so.
"I'm going out now?"
No response.
"Okay~ You're busy." Hua Cai turned her head decisively and strode happily towards the door with big, unladylike steps.
"This person has followed us." The system dutifully reported to its host.
I knew it would be like this; if it weren't for the fact that I should have come along, it would have been someone else.
In comparison, having someone who is intermittently easy to talk to along with you is still quite nice.
After staying home for two days, I went out on the first day of the Lunar New Year and was surprised to find that the air was indeed much fresher.
It's almost noon now, and the streets are bustling with activity. Street vendors are still energetically hawking their wares under the increasingly high sun.
Hua Cai stood on the street looking around, her eyes lighting up: "Hey? Isn't that the fabric shop I went to last time? I just wanted to buy an outfit. Last time I only bought one set, and I didn't even have any spare clothes."
Without turning around to greet him, he let him follow behind and quickly entered the cloth shop.
"Boss, do you have any needles and thread? The style of your clothes is no good, I might as well make them myself... Yes, yes, I want that fabric, what do you mean 'old'? This color is just right. Yes, yes, don't be stingy, grab a handful of needles, it's not like I'm not going to pay."
A minute later, Hua Cai also quickly walked out of the fabric shop and handed the extra package in her hand to Ying Zheng.
Just like when this person first left the village, he acted like a little follower, readily reaching out to take it.
"Hey? This kite is pretty good." As soon as his hands were free, his eyes were immediately drawn to a huge kite on the other side.
"It's so beautiful." Hua Cai gently stroked the bamboo frame of the kite with her fingertips.
Those behind should stand quietly, remaining silent.
"Boss, pack it up." Hua Cai withdrew her hand and beckoned to the smiling vendor beside her.
The hawker has been setting up his stall on the street for years, and even the owner of the herbal medicine shop should know him very well. How could he not know who he is?
They had already recognized the two people in front of them as vendors from Green Willow Manor. When they saw Hua Cai staring at the largest kite as soon as she arrived, they knew that business had come to them.
Sure enough, the people from Green Willow Manor were quick and efficient. In just a few breaths, before I could even boast about how good this thing was, the transaction was completed.
The vendor sighed, took down the kite and handed it forward, but no one took it.
Looking up, he saw the bruised and battered rich man staring at him with a bewildered expression.
"What are you looking at? Pack it up! It's so big, we can't keep carrying it on our backs all the time. People who don't know better will think there's a kite flying around on its own in the street." Hua Cai looked at the kite, which was taller than her, with a black line on her face.
"This...this..." The vendor was stunned.
That makes a lot of sense.
But... how do I pack this?
“That’s easy.” Hua Cai seemed to have a mind-reading ability for a moment, stroking her chin and circling the kite in the vendor’s hand: “Take it apart, tie it with a rope, and I’ll put it back together myself when I get back.”
The vendor stared in disbelief, seriously doubting he was hallucinating, and finally managed to utter, "Huh???"
"What are you looking at? Hurry up and open it. Here, I'll pay first, is that alright?" Hua Cai reached into her money pouch, rummaged around, and handed over a tael of silver.
The vendor usually only received copper coins for his business. Having not seen any silver for a long time, he quickly reached out and took the money, put it in his pocket, and then began to dismantle the kite without hesitation.
The money has already been paid, so you can demolish it if you want. Even if you want to burn it on the spot, he'll help you start the fire.
Well, we have the bamboo tube and the needle. We'll find an opportunity to give Hebi Weng some more medicine, and then the final soul-capturing can begin.
