"Great, once my period is over, let’s head to the hotel. When the ti cos, I’ll make sure to serve you well!"
Yang Chen was delighted in his heart and imdiately embraced Xu Yuexuan, his face full of excitent.
"Rember, don’t let Xiao Yuqi know about us. If she finds out I have a relationship with you, it will definitely cause chaos. She might even disown as her mother."
Xu Yuexuan was very worried and warned with a serious expression.
Yang Chen turned his gaze and said, "Since you’re so afraid of being discovered, why don’t we just stop..."
"No!!"
In the next mont, Xu Yuexuan reached out and blocked Yang Chen’s mouth, saying, "Even though I’m scared of being found out, I’m more afraid of losing you. If I lose you, I wouldn’t know how to live. From now on, be my lover, okay!"
"What are the benefits of being your lover?"
Yang Chen’s lips curled up as his hands road around her slender waist, asking.
"I heard from Yu Qi that you desperately need Linglong Grass. If you beco my little lover, I’ll take you to find Linglong Grass, how about it?"
Xu Yuexuan’s lips curled into a smile, her face full of pride.
"Auntie, you’re really cunning." Yang Chen smiled helplessly and said, "Alright, as long as you take to find Linglong Grass, I’ll be your little lover, the kind that can be called upon at any ti. Once I heal Yu Qi’s face, we’ll go."
"No way!" However, Xu Yuexuan shook her head and refused, her face serious as she said, "Not now."
"Why?"
Yang Chen furrowed his brows, full of confusion as he asked.
"It’s a long story." Xu Yuexuan recalled the past, her face showing anger, and said, "Because right now, the Linglong Grass is not in my possession; we can only go to buy it when the underground market opens on the weekend. Actually, this Linglong Grass initially belonged to , but..."
At this, she sighed heavily.
"What really happened?"
Yang Chen, more puzzled than ever, asked curiously.
"Two years ago, my friend and I were casually strolling through the herbal market and, by chance, bought a Linglong Grass. However, I didn’t know its value and that very night it was taken by a masked man for ten thousand dollars."
"Later, I learned of the Linglong Grass’s value, but since we had already completed the transaction, there was nothing I could do even if I regretted it. However, I know she runs a stall in the underground market selling herbs, so we can go there to buy!"
"Though, you’ll need to be prepared, its price will be very high!"
While recounting the past, Xu Yuexuan’s face was filled with regret, still feeling dissatisfied.
"I can’t believe it."
Yang Chen chuckled bitterly. If the Linglong Grass was still with Xu Yuexuan, considering their relationship, they could have gotten it for free or at a low price. But now, they’ll have to spend a fortune to buy it from soone else.
The underground market!
Just hearing the na suggested the people there weren’t straightforward, undoubtedly opening their mouths like lions.
With this in mind, he asked, "Auntie, I want to know, if we buy it at the underground market, how much do I need to prepare?"
"At least twenty million!"
Xu Yuexuan replied.
"Holy cow!"
Hearing this price, Yang Chen was dumbfounded and said, "Auntie, you sold a herb worth twenty million for ten thousand dollars?"
"Can we not talk about it?"
Xu Yuexuan’s face twisted in pain, saying, "Talking about it again makes feel murderous."
"It’s alright, just consider it a costly lesson learned." Yang Chen no longer agitated Xu Yuexuan and spoke comfortingly.
"Sigh, this lesson is really huge, all because I didn’t understand the value of herbs." Xu Yuexuan sighed, feeling very downcast.
At this mont, Yang Chen also fell into silence. Although he had a hefty sum of ten million on him, he was still short of ten million to purchase the Linglong Grass. He realized he had to find a way to earn money quickly before the underground market opens on the weekend, to gather the remaining ten million.
"Today is Tuesday, five days left until the weekend. I’ll contact you then."
Xu Yuexuan adjusted her mood, speaking to Yang Chen.
"Okay." Yang Chen nodded lightly, feeling quite stressed. Getting one million within five days was tough.
"Bang bang bang!"
At this mont, the door swung open, and Xiao Yuqi returned with the herbs.
Seeing this, the two imdiately parted, their hearts filled with anxiety.
Especially Xu Yuexuan, whose face turned pale with panic. She swiftly tidied up her clothes and didn’t even dare make eye contact with Xiao Yuqi.
"What happened to you two?"
Xiao Yuqi noticed the two behaving oddly, frowning.
"Yu Qi, nothing’s wrong with us." Xu Yuexuan recalled what she had done earlier, her heart tight with tension, especially thinking about Yang Chen’s innurable ’descendants’ within her, she nervously lowered her head.
Witnessing this scene, Xiao Yuqi furrowed her brows even tighter, continuously sensing sothing was off with her mother today.
"Nothing much, I just helped Auntie with a massage that’s good for the stomach."
At this point, Yang Chen quickly stood up and calmly approached Xu Yuexuan: "So, the herbs are all bought back?"
"Yes, they’re bought. Take a look." Xiao Yuqi, seeing how calm Yang Chen was, didn’t overthink and handed over the herbs, saying, "Yang Chen, all the herbs are ready. Can you start making the Beauty Cream?"
"Yes, I can!"
Yang Chen gathered the herbs and placed them in a satchel, asking, "Does your clinic have a pharmacy room?"
Xiao Yuqi said, "Of course, follow !"
Very quickly, the three arrived at the pharmacy room.
The room wasn’t big, only about thirty square ters, but it was fully equipped, the tools very professional.
Yang Chen started by cleaning the herbs, then lit the dicine pot. When the water boiled, he put a portion of the herbs inside, waited until the water turned completely black, and intensified the fla.
With the evaporation of water, a thin layer of black powder was left in the pot.
"The next step is the most crucial!"
Yang Chen imdiately took all the black powder from the pot, then added another portion of the herbs that had been crushed into powder into the black powder.
This step was critical; the ratio must be exact.
Otherwise, you won’t get the full effect of the Beauty Cream.
Even though it was Yang Chen’s first ti making the Beauty Cream, he was intimately familiar with every step, with flowing ease.
It only took him a little over ten minutes to successfully create a bottle of Beauty Cream.
The next mont, Yang Chen handed the Beauty Cream to Xiao Yuqi, saying, "Apply this on your face, the birthmark will disappear."
Won always show interest in beauty products.
By the side, Xu Yuexuan imdiately leaned in, quietly studying the Beauty Cream in Xiao Yuqi’s hand.
When Xiao Yuqi opened the lid, an overwhelming stench imdiately hit them, causing Xu Yuexuan’s face to change, instinctively stepping back two steps, while Xiao Yuqi also turned pale, swiftly placing the bottle on the table and quickly retreating.
Covering their noses, they exchanged glances, simultaneously looking at Yang Chen and asking, "Are you sure this stinky stuff works?"
"Uh..."
Yang Chen’s face showed embarrassnt, he then said, "It does sll a bit bad, but the results will be good. Try it, you’ll see."
Xu Yuexuan said, "Daughter, give it a try, maybe it’ll really have an effect."
"Alright, as long as it can remove the marks on my face, I’m in."
After thinking for a mont, Xiao Yuqi bit her lip and ca to Yang Chen, saying, "Help apply it."
"Okay!" Yang Chen picked up the Beauty Cream from the table, applied it on his fingers, and spread it on Xiao Yuqi’s face.
Once applied evenly, Xiao Yuqi’s fair skin was entirely covered with the black cream. She murmured, "It does sll bad, but it feels quite comfortable on the face. I just don’t know how effective it is."
"Soon, you’ll find out!"
Yang Chen smiled slightly, speaking.
As ti passed quickly, the cream began to solidify on Xiao Yuqi’s face, forming a very hard shell.
"Now, just clean it off, and you’ll be good."
Yang Chen touched the hard shell, telling Xiao Yuqi.
"Alright." Xiao Yuqi gently nodded, quickly running to the sink to rinse clean.
"Oh my god! How is this possible??"
As the shell peeled off, Xu Yuexuan, seeing clearly Xiao Yuqi’s face, her pupils contracted, showing an expression of shock that was hard to hide.
