Chapter 2373: Chapter 2374: Action
When Xue An returned to the second floor of the Medicinal Workshop, the store clerk was solemnly guarding the door to the private room, with a sign standing in front of him.
Guests dining, do not disturb the idle.
Seeing this scene, a faint smile appeared on Xue An’s face.
Although it was clear that the store clerk was so dedicated because of the two High-grade Spirit Crystals, he liked interacting with people like this.
After all, sometimes being able to get work done with money was already a rare quality.
Meanwhile, the store clerk also noticed Xue An coming up, his eyes lit up, and he ran over to greet him.
"Sir, you’re back! I’ve been guarding the door, and no one disturbed the two ladies while they dined!"
In his eyes, An Yan and Ao Shu were clearly close friends of this young man, so he spoke very attentively.
Xue An naturally wouldn’t explain to him, just smiled faintly, "You are quite dedicated!"
Saying that, he casually threw over two more Spirit Crystals.
Upon receiving the crystal stones, the store clerk immediately recognized their quality, showing a look of being flattered and surprised.
"Sir, you’re really too generous. What you rewarded me earlier was already plenty! This...".
"Take it, you worked hard. It’s a reward for you!" Xue An said casually.
"Not hard at all, it’s what I should do!"
That said, the smile on the store clerk’s face was almost overflowing, continuously nodding and bowing.
"Please come in, sir!"
Xue An nodded and stepped towards the private room.
Meanwhile, after demolishing an entire table of dishes, the two little girls and Ao Shu were finally full and content, leaning back in their chairs.
"Wow, I’m so full!" Nian Nian said softly, patting her round little belly.
Xiang Xiang didn’t speak, as her mouth was stuffed with various dishes, her small face puffed up, chewing with difficulty.
She looked just like a little hamster.
Suddenly, Nian Nian seemed to realize something, and stood up abruptly, "Mom, where did dad go?"
"Yeah! Where did dad go?" Xiang Xiang quickly swallowed the food in her mouth, looking puzzled.
At this moment, a gentle laugh came from outside the door, "You two... just realized I’m missing now?"
With the voice, Xue An walked into the private room.
"Dad, where did you go? Why did you disappear while we were eating?" Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian asked in unison.
Ao Shu didn’t speak, but her eyes were full of confusion.
Xue An smiled, then with a flip of his wrist, a large package appeared in his hand. When placed on the table and opened, it was filled with all sorts of novel trinkets.
The two little girls cheered and immediately rushed up.
"Do you like it?" Xue An asked with a smile.
"Yes, yes!" The two little girls picked up one thing, then couldn’t bear to put down the other, so excited that they didn’t even lift their heads.
Meanwhile, Xue An also brought some little accessories for girls for Ao Shu, who was naturally delighted.
One big and two small, the three girls gathered together, laughing and chatting noisily.
Xue An returned to his seat with a smile, and casually handed An Yan a small gift.
An Yan’s attention was not on the gift; she gave Xue An a deep look, then lowered her voice to ask.
"Honey, where did you go just now?"
"Didn’t do much, just went for a walk! And bought you all something along the way!" Xue An said with a light smile, looking at his two daughters playing.
Looking at Xue An’s side profile, An Yan wanted to say something, but eventually swallowed it back.
Because she smelled a faint scent of blood on Xue An.
This blood scent was very subtle, only someone extremely familiar with and understanding of Xue An could detect it.
Even so, An Yan didn’t ask anything, because she knew very well if Xue An didn’t say, he must have his reasons.
So she just smiled and said nothing more.
After the two little girls had enough playtime, the group left the Medicinal Workshop and returned to the hotel where they previously stayed.
Unexpectedly, Cha Wenliang wasn’t in the hotel.
However, nobody was too concerned, as here was the Pharmacists’ Alliance’s territory, and as a veteran member of the alliance, he was probably out visiting old friends.
After a long journey and a whole day of street shopping, the two little girls and Ao Shu soon went back to their room to sleep.
This time An Yan didn’t let Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian return to the Magic Treasures Pavilion, but let them sleep in a room with Ao Shu.
After they went to sleep, Xue An and An Yan also returned to their room. After some small talk, An Yan’s voice grew smaller, and then she too fell into a deep sleep.
Xue An turned off the room lights, but didn’t return to bed, instead quietly sitting by the window.
The hotel itself was in a good location, and given Cha Wenliang’s status, their group had reserved the top suites in the hotel, with a view of the bustling cityscape from the window.
At this moment, the distant market’s noise faintly reached them, accentuating the room’s tranquility.
Xue An sat silently, the specks of lights outside reflecting on half of his face through the specially crafted glass window, while the other half was hidden in darkness, making his eyes appear deep and enigmatic.
After a long time, the starlight faded, the lights were about to go out, and An Yan on the bed had started to make sweet, soft snores.
Just then, Xue An suddenly raised his eyes, a flash of brilliance in them, and then he vanished from the window side.
After he left, a moment later, An Yan on the bed slowly opened her eyes, letting out a soft sigh.
Meanwhile, in a distant Barbaric Wilderness area away from the city, two figures suddenly stumbled out of the darkness and fell wearily to the ground.
"Miss, are you okay?" Among them, an elderly woman around her sixties or seventies, with white hair, struggled to get up after landing, asking with great concern.
The one addressed as Miss was a young lady, who shook her head with a pale face, "Granny, I’m fine!"
"That’s good, that’s good!" The old woman let out a sigh of relief, but immediately spat out a large mouthful of blood.
The young lady rushed over to support her, her voice catching, "Granny, what’s wrong with you?"
The old woman shook her head, "I’m fine, Miss, don’t worry about me. Hurry, take this chance to leave, get as far away from the Pharmacists’ Alliance as possible!"
