When she looked up, she discovered that Qiao Mu had already left some time ago.
“Qiaoqiao said that she lacks some mid-rank medicinal materials and dragged Mo Lian to the pharmacy to purchase them.”
“Ah?” Fairy Huanghe asked in confusion, “Qiaoqiao is going to refine pills?”
“Mhm.” The Peony Immortal waved a small red brocade fan back and forth as she lounged lazily in an armchair. “Qiaoqiao seems to be missing something called what? Three leaf, three leaf herb?”
“A mid-rank medicinal material? It’s three leaf flower!” Fairy Huanghe said speechlessly.
“Ah, right, right, right, right. It’s that three leaf flower.”
Huanghe paused in surprise, and then she grabbed the Peony Immortal’s hand excitedly. “Sister Peony, could it be that Qiaoqiao is concocting a spiritual-energy-gathering pill?”
The Peony Immortal was stumped. How did she know what kind of pill Qiao Mu was going to concoct with that whatever three leaf flower.
However, Huanghe calling her “Sister” delighted her immensely. Thus, she smiled amiably at Huanghe. “That probably is the case.”
“I, I’ll go see!” Fairy Huanghe promptly bounced up in zest.
“Hey, hey. Hey, come back, come back.” The Peony Immortal quickly grabbed her and pressed her back down in her seat. “What are you going for? They’re strolling the streets as a couple. If Boss sees you trailing along as a third wheel, he definitely won’t be pleased.”
Huanghe was baffled by what the Peony Immortal said. “B-But I, I just wanted to observe her refining pills and learn, learn from her experience.”
“Ay, then just wait until she comes back.” The Peony Immortal rolled her eyes at her. “She won’t be refining pills on the street.”
“Okay, okay then. Then Sister Peony, I-I’ll read for now.” The dopey Fairy Huanghe nodded and picked up that medical book, studying it intoxicatedly once again.
The Peony Immortal twitched her mouth as she looked at her speechlessly.
Unlearned people like her get a headache when reading books, so don’t tell her to read a book in this lifetime. It was completely impossible for her to be drunk on medical classics like Fairy Huanghe. Not in her next lifetime either…
On the other end, Crown Prince Mo and Qiao Mu were strolling leisurely along the street while holding hands. They turned a blind eye to the gazes people were directing at them.
The passersby were also quite funny. One young chap who had been staring at the little stoic didn’t watch where he was going and crashed into someone else’s shoulder pole. It hurt so much that he had to massage his forehead with tears nearly spilling from his eyes.
Qiao Mu noticed a Liangyuan Pharmacy in the distance. Qiao Mu halted and took a sniff.
“Lian, I can smell a fragrant carrot cake.”
The little one wanted a snack.
Mo Lian couldn’t help but chuckle. He patted the little fellow’s head and pointed at the alley nearby. “Then I’ll go buy some?”
Miss Qiao nodded.
“Then you go wait for me at the pharmacy first.”
“Okay.” Qiao Mu naturally agreed. She waved at Mo Lian for this temporary separation and sauntered over to Liangyuan Pharmacy.
This Liangyuan Pharmacy was in the business district, so it normally had a lot of customers.
The shopkeeper of the pharmacy was someone with a rare conscience. Even with the lack of herbs nowadays, he still persisted in not raising prices.
Consequently, many people had come from other cities to buy herbs from his pharmacy.
When Qiao Mu entered, an assistant immediately walked over with an enthusiastic smile.
“Hello, Miss. Welcome.”
