551 Empty Shop

“Not for the next few days.”

Shui Liu shook her head and rejected her sister’s suggestion.

Qin Yifeng and Ye Chenglin had already left. If they went to pick herbs, there would be a shortage of medicinal pills.

Even if it was only for a day, they could not leave. She had to consider everyone else.

Of course, the main point was that she did not want Ye Chenglin to return so soon. She knew, however, that Ye Chenglin would not be allowed to stay on the protected grounds for the rest of her life because of Ye Chengzong.

However, if he could make Ye Chenglin suffer more, he should. That would be preferable to her constantly going against their mistress in the camp.

“How about this? We’ll work harder for the next two days and refine more medicinal pills. Then we’ll pick herbs two days after that,” she suggested after some thought.

“Okay.” Shui Xian nodded in agreement.

“Yan Nuo, we won’t disturb you from organizing the herbs. We’ll go back and refine medicine first.”

With that, they got ready to leave. However, when they turned around, they saw their master approaching leisurely, nearly frightening them.

“Master.”

We didn’t have designs on these medicinal herbs! Master, please don’t misunderstand!

“Mhm.” Qian Jiyun nodded at them. “Go and refine medicine.”

“Yes, Master.” They heaved a sigh of relief in unison and ran away quickly.

“Master, should we send these things to Mistress’s tent?” Yan Nuo asked when he saw him.

Their eyes widened when they saw so many medicinal herbs and Flaming Jade, wondering why their master was willing to spend so much money on so many medicinal herbs.

Of course, they answered their questions with the truth: Their master doted on their mistress and was willing to spend money.

Shui Liu and her sister did not say anything else and returned to their tent to refine medicine. They had a lot of medicinal herbs anyway. They would not be able to finish them in such a short time.

After all, they couldn’t compete for things with their mistress, could they?

“Once you’re done making an inventory of these things, send them to An Jiuyue.”

Qian Jiyun nodded and turned to look at Yan Jin, instructing him to buy all the food in the seven-story shop.

“Yan Jin, go to the shopping street. There’s a new shop closest to our camp. There’s a lot of fresh food inside. Go and buy everything.”

“There’s food? I’ll go immediately.” Yan Jin’s eyes lit up.

There had to be, because their master said so. The more food and vegetables they had, the better.

Without waiting for Qian Jiyun to say anything else, Yan Jin ran toward the shopping street with inner cores and Original Soul Stones.

…

15 minutes later, Yan Jin stood in an empty shop with a dumbfounded expression. He blinked and blinked again.

“When did this shop open? We’ve never seen it before!”

“Nobody knows! It didn’t appear yesterday. I heard from the people nearby that it appeared all of a sudden. It’s a pity we can only buy things on the first floor. It’ll be great if we can enter the second floor.”

“That’s right! I wonder what’s up there?”

“Isn’t that obvious? It must be good stuff! And it’s cheap! I’ve never bought such cheap vegetables and fruits at Huayan Peak. These peaches are so sweet!”

When Yan Jin came out of the shop, he saw groups of people crowding around and discussing the shop.

The worst part was that they all had vegetables, fruits, and grains, while he could not buy anything.
