Just one bite cleared Yueying's mind, which had been feeling somewhat muddled. His eyes widened in shock; the purity of this pill was only slightly higher than the one Xu Yuehuai had given him before!
The subordinate, who had initially thought Xu Yuehuai was just going through the motions, was momentarily stunned. He was closest to Yueying and could smell the strong medicinal fragrance, but the scent had already caused a slight change in his body. He dared not imagine what it would be like to ingest it…
“Miss Xu, I will accept this pill. I owe you a favor. You may take everything in this house if you wish. I have other matters to attend to, so I will take my leave now. My apologies.” Yueying bowed to Xu Yuehuai, her eyes full of apology.
When he first arrived, he had restrained himself, thinking he should at least entertain Xu Yuehuai before leaving. But now that he had such a fine elixir in his hands, all he wanted to do was rush back to give it to…
The two subordinates were left behind to take care of Xu Yuehuai. The person who had arranged the food for Xu Yuehuai had returned. He didn't take the strange atmosphere between the two seriously. He gestured for Xu Yuehuai to proceed and said, "Miss Xu, the meal has been arranged. Please move to the town below."
It only takes a few minutes to get from here to the town below. Xu Yuehua nodded and followed the man down.
Once they arrived at their destination, Xu Yuehuai realized just how extravagant the meal had been, and what kind of life Yueying usually led.
Xu Yuehuai originally thought that three or four dishes would be the maximum, as she might not be able to finish them all by herself.
But when she looked at the table full of dishes in front of her, at least ten dishes, it seemed like they were planning to let her try a bite of each one!
The two men stood guard at the door, showing no intention of dining with Xu Yuehuai.
Xu Yuehuai didn't care about such formalities and began to devour the food on the table in a flash.
These past two days, Yuan Shui has experienced the joy of being human, being able to eat so much delicious food. As a spirit, he doesn't need to eat, but he couldn't resist the temptation of the food. He eagerly ran out of the space and sat with Xu Yuehuai, wolfing down the food on the table.
In the end, Xu Yuehuai only ate a small portion, while Yuan Shui ate everything else, claiming that nothing should be wasted, "You're so small, won't you have indigestion from eating so much?"
Xu Yuehuai was very worried about what Yuan Shui would eat.
Yuan Shui only slowed down a little, but he didn't see anything else. Hearing Xu Yuehuai's question, he sneered and said, "Don't you know who I am? I am a spirit. When we spirits eat, we only temporarily gain a little weight. We don't digest food at all. Once the food rots, it becomes nutrients and that's it."
"Only a fool like you would worry about whether the artifact spirit can digest things. I don't even have a stomach, so I don't need to digest anything!" Yuan Shui said smugly, as if showing off something.
After Xu Yuehuai finished eating, she came out of the room and saw the two of them still standing at the door. She asked with some surprise, "Is there anything else you need me to do?"
Xu Yuehuai felt a little embarrassed that she had taken so many things from others but only refined a few pills. She took out a lot of pills from her space and handed them to the two of them. "These pills are all the ones I usually refine. There are all kinds of them, and most of them are for healing. Consider this a reward for your hard work following me. If you have nothing else to do, you can leave. I can manage on my own."
Xu Yuehua guessed that Yueying had these two people by her side probably because she wanted to take care of her.
At first, he hesitated because he thought Xu Yuehuai's pills were of inferior quality, especially after he got the pills. He wanted to continue following Xu Yuehuai, in case he could get more benefits. If Xu Yuehuai got interested and decided to give him some pointers, it would be a win.
However, another person bowed to Xu Yuehuai, accepted the gifts from Xu Yuehuai, and left.
One protector left, and the other protector had no choice but to leave as well.
Yuan Shui returned to the space, and Xu Yuehuai walked alone on the street, preparing to say goodbye to Cixi and Ji Yue.
After she left the private room, the waiter came in to clean up. He had thought he could get a good meal today, but he was shocked when he saw the plates on the table in the private room. He had just served this group of people.
There were only three people, including a woman. How could they possibly finish all ten or so dishes? And the plates were completely clean!
The waiter was shocked and cleaned up the private room, telling everyone about the incident as a strange story.
...
Following the directions of a passerby, Xu Yuehuai found Cixi's home.
The Cixi family may not be considered a wealthy family, but they are definitely a scholarly family in this area. When Xu Yuehuai walked to the door, the guards stopped her.
"I'm looking for Cixi. Does he live here?" Xu Yuehuai asked politely.
The Cixi family was a scholarly family in the northern part of the city. They might not be as good as other families in martial arts, but they were second to none in books. However, there were not many people in the family, so they were not able to carry on their tradition.
Nevertheless, every child in the Cixi family had an arranged marriage with another family from a young age. With such a large library, everyone wanted a piece of the pie.
The guards looked Xu Yuehuai up and down. One of them said, "Wait here a little longer. I'll go and tell them your name."
Xu Yuehuai gave her name, and the guard walked into the house.
Upon hearing Xu Yuehuai's name, Cixi couldn't wait to come out of the house, grinning widely, "Sister Xu! You've finally come to see me! We haven't exchanged communication crystals for so many days, and I couldn't find a way to contact you. I've been waiting for you at home!"
The two guards at the door looked at each other, and their eyes gradually filled with more respect as they looked at the girl in front of them.
Cixi is not someone to be trifled with, and they naturally dare not neglect someone who is valued so highly by Cixi.
"I've been dealing with some things these past two days, which took a little longer than usual. I was thinking of leaving Beicheng soon, so I came to say goodbye before I left," Xu Yuehuai said casually.
Cixi felt a little uncomfortable hearing this. "We've only just met, why are you leaving already? When will you come to Beicheng again?"
Cixi inquired out of curiosity, but he considered Xu Yuehuai his best friend!
"I don't know. I plan to go to the second floor in a while, so we'll probably have fewer opportunities to meet." Xu Yuehuai shook her head, her tone revealing no emotion.
