Chapter 26: The Medicine is Too Bitter, Senior Sister Should Have Some Candy~
“Stand back, stand back, the spiritual ark is about to land.”
Several outer court disciples were clearing the plaza. Su Lingxi obediently stood a little further back.
A few minutes later, Su Lingxi suddenly felt the air become turbulent, making it a little difficult for her to breathe.
She looked up and saw a flying object about a hundred zhang wide in the sky. From a distance, it looked like an ice-blue palace floating in the air.
Even modern airships were slightly inferior to the spiritual arks of this world.
The spiritual ark floated in the air, and a platform slowly descended from its bottom. Many people came down from this platform.
Xiao Yun was among them.
When Xiao Yun came down, he was refreshed and his expression was one of unprecedented satisfaction.
The moment he saw Su Lingxi, he was so excited he couldn’t speak. “Young Su, this spiritual ark journey was truly wonderful~”
“As long as Big Brother Xiao had fun!”
“By the way, here’s your stuff.” Xiao Yun casually tossed a purple spatial ring to Su Lingxi.
“It’s best not to show this thing to others easily. Many people were staring at me when I bought it.”
Xiao Yun felt a lingering fear just thinking about it. He was just an outer court disciple at the Golden Core realm, yet he had sensed the auras of many powerful experts coveting his spatial ring.
Fortunately, the Snowfall Sect’s spiritual ark was not far away, so Xiao Yun had managed to run back.
“Thank you for your trouble, Big Brother Xiao.” Su Lingxi checked the ring and then put it away.
“Let’s go, let’s go back and have a drink.”
Xiao Yun grinned and put his arm around Su Lingxi’s shoulder as they walked back. Although Su Lingxi felt a little uncomfortable, she was in a man’s guise and didn’t refuse Xiao Yun.
What Xiao Yun didn’t know was that in the future, he would deeply regret not having more intimate contact with Su Lingxi.
A few hours later, after sending Xiao Yun off, Su Lingxi’s face was flushed.
Xiao Yun had drunk his fill, but Su Lingxi was not feeling well.
Fortunately, Xiao Yun saw that Su Lingxi couldn’t hold her liquor and didn’t make things difficult for her.
Today was the day Luo Chuxue was to pick up her medicine. Su Lingxi had to be on her best behavior.
Following her memory, she took out the required medicinal herbs from the ring, ground them into powder, and poured them into a medicine pot.
She then found some firewood and set it up on the stove. When the fire was just right, she placed the medicine pot on it.
Brewing medicine was a long process. Su Lingxi used a fan to control the heat.
As the sky gradually darkened, Su Lingxi sat in the courtyard, listening to Xiao Yun’s snores from next door.
Xiao Yun was clearly drunk, but this saved some trouble.
Otherwise, she would have to explain to Xiao Yun.
The medicine was ready, and the entire courtyard was filled with its scent.
A figure was slowly moving outside the courtyard. The drowsy Su Lingxi instantly straightened up when she heard the footsteps.
Luo Chuxue slipped into Su Lingxi’s courtyard after confirming that there was no one around.
“Senior Sister, you’re here. The medicine is ready,” Su Lingxi forced a smile.
As soon as Luo Chuxue entered the courtyard, she smelled an incredibly bitter medicinal scent. Her beautiful brows furrowed slightly. “Is this the medicine you brewed for me?”
“Yes, drink it while it’s hot. It might taste a bit bitter, but I guarantee it will cure you,” Su Lingxi said, patting her chest.
Luo Chuxue looked at the brown Chinese medicine and hesitated. Although she knew the medicine was bitter, the taste was too…
“Senior Sister, hurry up and drink it. It won’t be good if it gets cold.”
“It’s too cold outside. I’ll drink it in your room.” Luo Chuxue dropped a sentence and began to look for Su Lingxi’s room.
Su Lingxi led Luo Chuxue to her room and placed the medicine on the table.
“Senior Sister, you’re not worried I’ve poisoned you, are you…”
Seeing that Luo Chuxue was still hesitating, Su Lingxi thought she was doubting her. She immediately took a small sip from the bowl.
The taste of Chinese medicine was still as strong as ever. Su Lingxi’s brow furrowed from the bitterness, which was noticed by Luo Chuxue.
“No, this taste is too awful. I don’t want to drink it.” Luo Chuxue covered her nose, her face full of resistance.
Seeing this, Su Lingxi understood. It turned out that Luo Chuxue found it too bitter.
She immediately found a few beautifully wrapped chocolate candies in her ring, with a carefully tied bow ribbon on top.
“Senior Sister, this is candy from my hometown. If you drink the medicine, I’ll let you try it.”
Su Lingxi dangled the chocolate candy in front of Luo Chuxue. As expected, girls couldn’t resist snacks with beautiful packaging. Luo Chuxue’s eyes were filled with curiosity.
“Why don’t you let me try it first, and then I’ll drink it.”
“No, bitter medicine is good for the illness. Senior Sister, drink the medicine first!”
“Why not! I want to eat the candy first!”
Luo Chuxue suddenly grabbed Su Lingxi’s ear, and Su Lingxi repeatedly begged for mercy.
Good heavens, my senior sister is having a princess fit.
After snatching the chocolate from Su Lingxi, Luo Chuxue revealed a rare smile. This smile was like a budding flower blooming in Su Lingxi’s heart.
After unwrapping the package, Luo Chuxue looked at the dark chocolate inside.
Although it didn’t look particularly good, Luo Chuxue’s intuition told her that it was delicious!
She no longer hesitated and took a large bite of the chocolate with her small, pink mouth.
Luo Chuxue chewed a few times, and her eyes instantly lit up. She said indistinctly, “What kind of candy is this? It’s so sweet and delicious.” With that, she swallowed the rest of the chocolate in a few bites.
Seeing this, Su Lingxi quickly handed over the brewed medicine. “Senior Sister, you can drink the medicine now, right?”
Luo Chuxue’s face was full of longing, but when she saw the bowl of dark medicine, she still frowned.
“Senior Sister, I still have a few more pieces after you finish drinking…”
Hearing this, Luo Chuxue gritted her teeth, took the bowl of medicine, and drank it all in one gulp.
After finishing the medicine, Luo Chuxue licked her lips and looked at Su Lingxi with anticipation. “Junior Brother, do you have any more of that candy?”
Su Lingxi helplessly spread her hands and placed the remaining chocolate in her palm. Luo Chuxue instantly became like a little girl, unwrapping the package and savoring it.
Side Quest: Gain Luo Chuxue’s favor! (0/50)
Reward: Two thousand points.
Xiao Bai suddenly assigned a mission, catching Su Lingxi off guard.
“Why the sudden mission?” Su Lingxi asked Xiao Bai in her consciousness.
Xiao Bai replied, “You’re almost out of points. I’ve applied for some side quests to help you get points quickly.”
“Xiao Bai, you’re the best!”
Back in reality, Su Lingxi could clearly see a progress bar above Luo Chuxue’s head.
After Luo Chuxue finished eating, she wiped her hands. Su Lingxi quickly offered a cup of water. “Eating too much candy can be cloying. Senior Sister, have some water.”
Su Lingxi’s goal was now clear. To complete the mission and gain Luo Chuxue’s favor, she first had to please her.
Luo Chuxue drank the water in one gulp and was satisfied. “How long do I have to drink this medicine?”
“At least a week…”
“A week…” Luo Chuxue was lost in thought.
“A week it is. I have one more condition now. Every time I finish drinking the medicine, you must prepare something delicious for me, like that chocolate today. But I can’t eat chocolate every day.”
“Otherwise… I’ll have you taken to the Law Enforcement Hall!”
“I know, I will definitely complete the mission!”
Luo Chuxue was from the Canglan Imperial City and had eaten all kinds of delicacies, but she had never eaten any of the things Su Lingxi had taken out.
And Su Lingxi’s things were super delicious and suited her taste.
It had been a long time since she had eaten a meal so freely.
Luo Chuxue’s condition seemed difficult, but for Su Lingxi, who had a snack gift package, it was as easy as could be.
