Chapter 681 - 681: Spiritual Fragrance Pill
“Wait a minute, since your family is in the traditional Chinese medicine business, why did your dad still send a bodyguard to buy medicine from outside when I was making the Detoxification Pill for your sister Murong Zi?” Li Qianfan asked, puzzled.
“My dad just sent Wang Shasha to get the medicine from our family’s large pharmacy, that’s why she was so fast. He just didn’t bother to explain such a trivial matter, and besides, you didn’t ask at the time.” Murong Yue chuckled non-stop.
“I see.”
Li Qianfan nodded, his face showing understanding.
But the smile on Murong Yue’s face disappeared, and with a deep sigh, she said, “Thank you for reminding my father and exposing Qian Youyu’s conspiracy. Otherwise, I would have thought he was a good person. Qian Youyu is really awful; I should have believed you earlier.”
“It’s not too late to believe me now. After all, Qian Youyu hasn’t turned you from raw rice into cooked rice,” Li Qianfan said with a smile.
Murong Yue’s cheeks turned slightly red.
Then Murong Yue asked again, “So is it true what you said about Qian Youyu getting all the Qian Family women into his bed, including his own mother?”
“Of course it’s true. I swear to heaven,” Li Qianfan said seriously.
Before, Murong Yue didn’t believe Li Qianfan, but now she did.
Frowning, she said, “Qian Youyu is really disgusting, to actually lay his hands on his own relatives.”
“Indeed, quite disgusting,” said Li Qianfan with a smile.
Murong Yue shook her head and said, “Let’s not talk about him anymore; the more we talk about it, the angrier I get… But you said that with the Centennial Ganoderma, you could cure me; is that true?”
“Uh, that’s not true. I didn’t want to tell your father about the Power of the Solar Terms in your body, so I lied to him. But don’t worry, the Centennial Ganoderma has excellent nourishing effects. After I turn it into Spirit Pills for you to take, it will definitely benefit you greatly. Although it can’t solve the problem fundamentally, you will definitely be healthier,” Li Qianfan said.
Murong Yue smiled and nodded.
Suddenly, Li Qianfan’s nose twitched, and then he abruptly turned and looked in a certain direction.
In the corner of the treasure chamber was a beautiful wooden box from which a faint, extraordinary fragrance was continuously emanating.
Li Qianfan walked over curiously, picked up the wooden box and opened it, revealing a dried but well-preserved herb.
“Spiritual Fragrance Flower! Your family actually has such a treasure!” Li Qianfan exclaimed in surprise.
“You know what this herb is?”
Murong Yue followed him and said, “This herb was won by my father at an auction, but many experts in medicine have failed to identify it.”
“This herb is called the Spiritual Fragrance Flower; it has a very unique fragrance, and this scent is permanent. If you give me this Spiritual Fragrance Flower, I can make a few Spiritual Fragrance Pills,” Li Qianfan said.
“Spiritual Fragrance Pill? What kind of elixir is that, and what does it do?” Murong Yue asked curiously.
Patience personified, Li Qianfan explained, “The effects of the Spiritual Fragrance Pill are very strong when you call them strong, but also really unimpressive when you consider them trivial. Anyone who takes the Spiritual Fragrance Pill will emit its fragrance from their body; you can think of it as a kind of special body fragrance.”
“Do you mean that after taking the Spiritual Fragrance Pill, one will have a body fragrance, and it’s permanent?” Murong Yue asked further.
“Yes,” Li Qianfan nodded.
Murong Yue then exclaimed eagerly, “Great, then I will decide to give you this herb. You take it to make the Spiritual Fragrance Pill. After it’s made, give me three pills.”
“Why do you want so many?” Li Qianfan was confused.
“One for me, one for my sister, and one for my mother—just enough, one for each,” Murong Yue replied.
“Oh, alright then.”
Li Qianfan nodded without hesitation.
The Spiritual Fragrance Flower would probably yield eight Spiritual Fragrance Pills, so giving three to Murong Yue was certainly no problem.
After coming out of the treasury, Li Qianfan got to work on alchemy.
Meanwhile, at the Qian Family mansion, Qian Youyu was in a rage.
“What did you say? You told the whole truth to the Murong Family Master?” Qian Youyu yelled at Liu Shanshui, who was kneeling on the ground, with spit spraying from his mouth.
Liu Shanshui trembled and said, “Mr. Qian, I didn’t want to, but the Murong Family Master had people bring me back from the Angsa Empire. He interrogated me in person. If I didn’t speak, he would have killed me alive!”
“You useless fool! Didn’t I tell you to hide abroad?” Qian Youyu said furiously and then kicked Liu Shanshui to the ground.
Liu Shanshui lay on the ground with a face full of grief and said, “Mr. Qian, it’s all that Li guy’s fault. He ruined your plan!”
“The Li guy?” Qian Youyu asked.
“Yes, after the Murong Family Master interrogated me, he thanked that young Li man, saying that it was the Li kid who reminded him, so he could see through your ploy,” Liu Shanshui said quickly.
Qian Youyu muttered to himself: “The Li guy, could that be Li Qianfan? Damn it, he’s messed up my plans over and over again!”
At that moment, a bodyguard ran in and said, “Young Master, the Madam is coming this way.”
With clenched teeth, Qian Youyu gave Liu Shanshui a glare, then commanded, “Drag this old trash out! And don’t let me see him ever again!”
“Yes, Young Master!”
The bodyguard dragged Liu Shanshui out, and then Qian Youyu said to another female bodyguard, “Contact the Six-fingered Demon for me, tell him no matter the cost, I will pay for the assassination of Li Qianfan.”
“Understood, Young Master.”
The female bodyguard nodded and hurried outside.
Soon after, a graceful and luxurious lady walked in, swaying her hips.
“What’s wrong, my dear, why are you so angry?”
This lady was the wife of the Qian Family Patriarch and Qian Youyu’s mother—Lin Shufen.
Qian Youyu sent all the bodyguards in the hall away, then grabbed Lin Shufen and pushed her down onto the couch.
“Hey, what are you doing? It’s still broad daylight. Besides, if the bodyguards see us, your father will find out about us!”
Lin Shufen coquettishly complained and lightly pushed Qian Youyu, but her ambivalent attitude only excited him even more.
Qian Youyu pressed against Lin Shufen, kissing and nibbling, causing her cheeks to flush and leaving her panting.
“Mom, I’ve failed. The lies Liu Shanshui spread were seen through by Murong Shan. Murong Shan and Murong Yue already know about the good deeds I’ve done!” Qian Youyu said breathlessly, and pressed his slender thing against Lin Shufen’s body.
Lin Shufen let out a cry, and her body shivered slightly.
But then, her two snow-white legs tightly clamped around Qian Youyu, and she wrapped her arms around his head.
“If you’ve failed then… just let it be… anyway, our family is wealthy… not marrying into the Murong Family…doesn’t matter…”
