Chapter 73: Gaining One Annoying Person
Just as Yun Leizi was about to bow and pay his respects, an anxious shout suddenly came from outside the pharmacy.
"Princess, something's wrong! Your cat suddenly convulsed!"
Before Li Yang could react, Yun Leizi was so frightened that his knees buckled and he knelt down. He turned around angrily and saw a young man with half of his face disfigured standing at the entrance of the pharmacy.
Before Li Yang could even lower her hands to help him up, she blurted out, "Um, bowing to me will shorten my lifespan."
Yun Leizi huffed and puffed as he got up, glancing at Li Yang out of the corner of his eye before fixing his gaze on Dong Xiubei. "Who are you? Don't you know you can't just walk into my pharmacy like this?"
He was furious! He had just lost face with Li Yang and couldn't even scold him, but now he couldn't deal with this brat who had appeared out of nowhere?
Dong Xiubei stood with his hands clasped behind his back, a look of fear on the unharmed side of his face. "Princess... I... I was afraid your cat might be in danger..."
Yun Leizi looked at Li Yang. Was this ugly boy one of hers?
Li Yang was so angry she wanted to laugh. She opened her mouth but didn't know what to call him. Then she realized she had forgotten to ask the kid's name.
"Since you knew I was here, why didn't you bring it with you?"
Dong Xiubei lowered his head, stammered a few times, and then said, "I'm not very bright, I forgot..."
Damn it, he, the dignified lord of the evil race, is so pathetic in front of this brat that he can't even lift his head!
Once he obtains the Demon King's body and conquers the entire Xuan Domain, he will definitely skin that arrogant brat alive!
"Oh." Li Yang nodded, deciding to go back and see what the boy was up to.
"Senior Yun Leizi, this cat saved my life. Now that something has happened, I need to go back and check on it. Could you grant me a short leave?"
Yun Leizi waved his hand. He had just suffered a big blow today, and this was a good opportunity for him to calm down.
Li Yang walked ahead with her head held high, while Dong Xiubei followed behind her, cowering with his head down, not uttering a word.
"I haven't even asked you your name yet!"
Dong Xiubei paused, slightly raised his head to look at the smiling Li Yang, but quickly lowered his head again, "I... am called Dong Xiubei."
"That's really hard to pronounce," Li Yang commented before continuing to walk forward.
Dong Xiubei clenched his fists secretly. "How dare you, a little demon, comment on my name!"
Back in the courtyard, Lian'er, who was learning from Hongniang, exclaimed in surprise that she had managed to see Li Yang during the day and then sneak back into the house.
Li Yang smiled helplessly and returned to her room to check on the ethereal cat.
Meanwhile, the cat was curled up in a ball on her neatly folded blanket, fast asleep without making a sound.
Li Yang turned her head, her harmless-looking eyes fixed on Dong Xiubei.
Didn't you say something happened to the colorful cat?
Dong Xiubei sneered inwardly. Of course, this stupid cat is fine. I was just making a fool of you.
But on the surface, he was still that humble boy. "I... I was really afraid something would happen to it, that's why I came to you. If it had died, you definitely wouldn't have let me off the hook."
Li Yang walked into the courtyard, poured herself a cup of tea, and sipped it slowly. "You seem to know me quite well. Well, I can't really blame you for anything. In that case, why don't you bring the colorful cat and come with me?"
After saying that, she added with a troubled expression, "Oh dear, Father and Mother have been making me cultivate these past few days. Taking it with you to keep me company will help relieve my boredom."
Dong Xiubei rolled her eyes, thinking that taking the cat along might interrupt her cultivation at any time.
"it is good."
After a while, Li Yang returned to the pharmacy.
At this moment, Yun Leizi was still sunbathing on the recliner when he saw Dong Xiubei following behind Li Yang. Dong Xiubei was holding a quilt in his arms, which looked like it contained a child. His face immediately turned cold.
He hated it most when people disturbed the peace and quiet of the pharmacy. Although this girl was young and knew how to make medicine, she couldn't be so brazen as to climb on his head and poop!
He is the only alchemist in the Fengyang Kingdom's palace, and his dignity cannot be challenged!
"What does the princess mean by bringing him here to annoy this old man?"
Dong Xiubei immediately lowered his head miserably.
"Hey, let me chat with you for a bit." Li Yang walked over to Yun Leizi on his own, put his arm around his shoulder like two buddies, and started whispering to each other.
Because Yun Leizi had a hunchback for many years, his height was about the same as the petite Li Yang. But when Dong Xiubei saw Li Yang's big, round eyes darting around, he felt that some conspiracy was about to unfold in front of him.
He only found out at the very end that Li Yang looked harmless, but did absolutely nothing human!
Of course this is a story for later.
The two stopped whispering after a short while. At this moment, Yun Leizi's gaze towards him was no longer so disgusted, but rather carried a hint of wicked amusement.
Dongxiubei: Has this old man been possessed?
"Young man, since you're Yang's attendant, why don't you sweep up all the fallen leaves around this pharmacy?"
Dong Xiubei's eyes widened. He had just been thinking that the pharmacy was so big but no one swept it, and it looked as desolate as a grave covered with fallen leaves.
So quickly, this 'good thing' has fallen on him?
He is the dignified lord of the evil race!
Li Yang rubbed her face and said innocently, "Oh, I was thinking that you must be bored taking care of the colorful cat. This is a good opportunity to exercise your frail body. After all, I don't want a servant who is even weaker than me."
They're all just excuses!
You damned demon, you just wait!
After Li Yang finished speaking, he and Yun Leizi walked into the pharmacy.
Getting back to the main topic, Yun Leizi finally looked at Li Yang seriously, "Girl, what kind of pills can you refine?"
Li Yang thought for a moment and named several commonly used pills. The more she talked, the more serious Yun Leizi's expression became. When she got to the tenth one, he finally couldn't help but interrupt her.
"I've only heard of these pills from decades ago. You claim you can refine them?"
At that time, he was just a young boy. His mother was on the verge of death because he had no money to buy medicine. With nowhere else to turn, he could only take his mother to the street to beg for medicine. Unexpectedly, he met a kind-hearted woman who not only saved his mother but also planted the seed of becoming a pharmacist in his heart!
After decades of studying pharmacology, he finally became a top-notch pharmacist. After making inquiries, he learned that his benefactor was the eldest daughter of the Xia family in Fengyang Kingdom.
Although Xia Zhu had been missing for many years, he decided to enter Fengyang Kingdom and wait for the day when his benefactor would return so he could personally thank her.
As the flashback ended, Yun Leizi snapped back to reality at Li Yang's calls.
"These are the pills I refined. You can take a look." Not knowing how to prove it, Li Yang simply took out one of each kind of pill she had stored in her spatial storage.
Yun Leizi was somewhat disgusted. Who knew these pills weren't bought from outside?
But then, I suddenly smelled a familiar fragrance of cinnamon!
He could hardly believe it, but his hands trembled as he opened each porcelain bottle and smelled them. When he smelled the last one, tears welled up in his eyes!
This is the taste!
His benefactor's alchemy technique was unique and has never been replicated. So when he smelled the fragrance of the medicine, he finally admitted that Li Yang could make medicine, and that his technique was the same as his benefactor's!
He's been in Fengyang Kingdom for so long, and his activities have only been confined to this pharmacy. Could she be a descendant of his benefactor?
He wiped the tears from his face. "Do you know Xia Zhu?"
"Huh? You know my mother?"
With a thud, Yun Leizi knelt down this time, genuinely convinced of his superiority.
"Your mother is my benefactor! Your Highness, please don't hesitate to ask me for anything in the future!"
Li Yang looked at him, who looked like he could fall over with a gust of wind and couldn't even walk a few steps without being out of breath, and her lips twitched slightly. "No need, no need. I'm afraid I'll be blamed for exploiting the elderly. Teach me how to make medicine instead. There are parts of the manuscript my mother left me that I don't understand."
"Yes, Your Highness!"
Seeing the old man so energetic, she felt a little uncomfortable. Just then, Dong Xiubei's voice came from outside, "Princess, your cat rolled onto the ground by itself! Did it break its leg?"
Li Yangren quickly went out to check, "He's alright, he won't die."
Another half hour.
"Princess, your cat has lost a lot of fur, please come and take a look!"
Li Yang, who was engrossed in discussing alchemy with Yun Leizi, said: I'll endure it!
"Princess!!"
Li Yang: Ugh, how awful!
Since you're going to mess with me, don't blame me!
