The Unknown Beauty 145 The Drug 4

"That's when I started noticing changes to my body. My senses sharpen, my body was growing faster than even I thought was impossible. Do you remember when I was curing w.a.n.g Ping's poison?" said Lin Yu Yan.

"...Yes," said Han Bingwen. It makes him angry to know some man's lips has touched her lips beside him but now was not the time to get angry.

"I was testing the healing properties on my blood when I notice how much faster I healed at Mo Pharmacy," said Lin Yu Yan.

"Right, You fully healed in a few hours after your uncle hit you."

"Yep. I did heal quicker than normal kids as a child but it was never that fast. I was just testing it on w.a.n.g Ping and honestly, he really could've died. But weirdly enough, it worked fantastically."

"Oh and this happened to you after you started cultivating?"

"Yep. That was why I had my previous scars which could've healed right away if I'm at my state now back then."

"I see…"

"But it's best to not do it again. I don't know how strong it has become not that I'm a 1-star martial honor," said Lin Yu Yan.

"Right," said Han Bingwen. 'She's growing faster than any cultivator that ever existed.'

Han Bingwen was going to say something when they both notice a crowd blocking their path.

'Over here,' Lin Yu Yan mouthed to Han Bingwen and lead him to an alleyway. She grabbed the bags of medical and spiritual herbs from Han Bingwen and placed them in her s.p.a.ce ring.

"Let's check it out," said Lin Yu Yan.

In the palace…

"Emperor, I have some news," said Minister Quan.

"What is it?" said the Chu Emperor.

The Chu Emperor was on his way to find Lady Lin's daughter to ask her for some information about her disappearance when he was interrupted by Minister Quan.

"I saw Chu Yang!" said Minister Quan. "I was visiting my late wife's mother as I heard news she has fallen ill and when I enter the Tang Pharmacy, I saw the First general talking to my daughter, Quan Su Wen."

"Ah. Your daughter has recently been appointed as the Master of the Tang Branch. So what?" said Chu Emperor. 'That's where my sister is.'

Minister Quan was taken back by the harsh words but continued to smile and let the emperor know his thoughts about it. "My daughter is planning something! I have told you already and since everyone one here in Feng City knows the bad rumors about the First general, they are planning something! I'm sure the first general wants the Empire for themselves!" said Minister Quan.

"I'll get someone to look into that," said the Chu Emperor. "Sorry, Minister Quan. But I have to get going."

Han Bingwen and Lin Yu Yan head into a restaurant that has a second floor, VIP rooms, which they can watch the street from above. Everyone's attention was on the situation so Lin Yu Yan and Han Bingwen took their masks off for a slight breather and watch the scene unfold.

But Lin Yu Yan was disappointed as she watched. 'Tsk. I thought it was going to be entertaining. Turns out it's just people making a big deal out of nothing.'

In the middle of the crowd was 3 girls, were happily showing off something. They got there hands on something so legendary. The crowd covered the whole street and everyone was in awe at the sight of such a legendary item.

"Hehe, of course the Quan Family got their hands on the beauty pill," said someone in the crowd.

"Pills are so legendary. I heard they started appearing in the w.a.n.g Empire. Ah, I'm so jealous! I wish I had money to buy one. The Quan family are beautiful and don't need the pill," said a woman in the crowd.

"Which one of us are going to have it?" said one of three girls.

"I'm the oldest!" said another.

"Sister Jiang! I want it!" said the the youngest among the three.

"I'm the one going to be engaged to the Chu Emperor! I need to be beautiful, Fen He," said Quan Jiang, the oldest of the three.

"That's unfair! Say something, Sister Huan Lan," said Quan Fen He, the third eldest.

"I say it is unfair," said Quan Huan Lan, the second eldest.

"Then let's make a deal, whoever can kill Su Wen will get the beauty pill?" whispered Quan Jiang. Only Quan Huan Lan and Quan Fen He could hear those words.

"Hmmm… doesn't sound bad," said Quan Fen He.

"Nice. A good chance to get rid of an idiot," said Quan Huan Lan.

Lin Yu Yan was still watching them and could read what their lips are saying.

"There's an auction here right?" asked Lin Yu Yan.

"I think so. We past it while we were buying herbs," said Han Bingwen.

"Hmmm…. Doesn't sound bad…" said Lin Yu Yan thinking.

'If they heard rumors about the pills, then the man has heard it too. Pills are legendary, right? Maybe I can lure him into the auction and I can check out the area Wei Ru couldn't enter… Should I add in a enchanted weapon? I still have that level zero sword so maybe I can get a high price out of that as well. If news spread out that the auction will have many rare weapons and pills… the whole city would want to show up to see them. Or at least the rich and powerful.'

"What are you thinking of?" asked Han Bingwen.

"I need more money. Let's go sell some things at the auction here," said Lin Yu Yan.
