Chapter 3047 Being Expensive Might Not Be Good
He decided to let her rest for the night and planned to seize an opportunity to escape the next day.
With this intention, Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao entered a cave near the front cliff.
"Wait a minute." Second Young Sir Qin lifted her up, and a burst of anger prompted someone to fly up and kick him.
A small footprint marred the light-colored robe.
Unperturbed, Second Young Sir turned and nodded at a tall, thin man beside him.
Understanding the signal, the man entered the Cave Abode first. Soon, the sounds of hissing and snake roars emanated from within.
After swift and decisive handling, the tall, thin man emerged from the cave, bowing to Second Young Sir Qin. "You can enter now, Young Sir."
Qiao Mu kicked him. "Put me down."
"Quit making noise. Aren't you tired?" Second Young Sir carried her into the cave, his brow furrowed.
"Aiyaya, there's a smell of blood." Ling retrieved a bottle from her sleeve, sprinkling its contents around. After a while, the blood smell faded, replaced by a faint fragrance wafting from the Cave Abode.
"The fragrance powder from this shop is quite effective in eliminating odors." Ling smugly stored the items. When she noticed the little lady's disdainful gaze, she was momentarily taken aback.
"What's wrong?"
"It stinks!" The inferior fragrance powder made her feel nauseous the moment she caught a whiff.
Without hesitation, she kicked the ground and rushed outside to vomit.
Ling sniffed around with a puzzled expression. "It stinks? Isn't this very fragrant? Hey, little fellow, the fragrance powder from the shop is very expensive. This small bottle alone is worth 500 spirit currency!"
Qiao Mu endured a bout of vomiting, and when she turned around, her face showed signs of genuine discomfort.
"How are you?" Second Young Sir looked at her with concern, then glared fiercely at Ling. "Go and get rid of that fragrance."
Ling wore a grievous expression as she said pitifully, "How do I do it?"
"Fetch some hay and set it on fire. Eliminate the smell."
"Oh." Ling dragged the tall, thin man out of the Cave Abode. Soon, they returned with a bundle of tree branches.
After burning for a while, Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao re-entered the Cave Abode with a disgusted expression. She retrieved a herb from her small bag, crushed it, and sprinkled the medicinal powder in the corners of the walls, instantly feeling much better.
"Expensive doesn't mean good." Her Excellency Lady Qiaoqiao regarded Ling with disdain. "How can Guo'an's shop sell any quality spices? Her skills in incense-making are truly lacking."
It was amusing how a group of people in the capital tried to follow him. Simply laughable.
Ling blinked. "Little lady, do you have quality spices to sell? Moreover, being a pill alchemist, you must know numerous ways to enhance your appearance. Share your secrets!"
You're an old demon. You're already so old, yet you still want to beautify yourself. Shameless.
Qiao Mu glanced at her apathetically. "Are you interested in the special beautifying cream?"
"It enhances and nourishes the skin, perfect for those on hectic journeys exposed to the elements."
"Yes, yes, yes!" Ling's eyes lit up suddenly as she nodded eagerly.
"One million spirit currency per bottle."
Everyone's expressions twitched as they involuntarily looked at Second Young Sir.
Second Young Sir Qin was puzzled. It's not like this young lady hadn't been selling at an exorbitant price for a while. Why were they looking at him?
