Chapter 123 - Elixir Pills for Supper?
Before Yun Qianyu could reply to anything, she noticed that the lady laying in the carriage had murmured something and was waking up.
The lady opened her eyes and struggled to get up. Even though she had the will, she found that her body was very weak and without strength.
Seeing this, Yun Qianyu said to her, “You’re awake, are you feeling weak and can’t get up? Lie down and rest up.”
After saying that, Yun Qianyu turned to Xiao Yechen who was outside the carriage, “Xiao Yechen, she’s injured because she came to save me. Do you have any elixir pills on you right now? If you have some, could you please spare her…”
Before Yun Qianyu could finish speaking, she heard the sounds of someone nibbling on something coming from behind her. She turned around and to her amazement, she saw that the lady who was injured and weak was struggling to pour something into her mouth.
Not long after, the lady’s complexion improved and her face regained a healthier color. It was as though she had instantly regained her strength. She got up in one move and did a quick check on herself. Seeing that there was no injury on her body, she pulled out an elixir bottle from her sleeve, opened it, and poured its contents into her mouth.
This time around, Yun Qianyu could clearly see that the lady was consuming elixir pills. However, she was not consuming one pill, but many pills at the same time. Pouring the elixir pills into her mouth, the lady consumed them as though she was consuming your average beans or candy.
Yun Qianyu and Hua Mei stared at the woman in complete shock. Even though a single elixir pill was already very precious, the woman was consuming them as if they were free. This left Yun Qianyu with the impression that this lady was probably with a strong organization or had a powerful family.
Seeing her alive and kicking, Yun Qianyu was relieved and happy. After all, Yun Qianyu knew that the lady got injured because she was trying to save her.
“Thank you for saving me.”
As soon as Yun Qianyu said that, Xiao Yechen outside the carriage complained with disdain, “She saved someone? More like getting her as* handed to her and creating trouble. What a busybody.”
Hearing this, the lady stopped consuming her elixir pills. With her big innocent eyes, she looked at Yun Qianyu blankly and asked, “Big sister, is he talking about me?”
Looking at her cute and innocent face, Yun Qianyu couldn’t bear telling her that what Xiao Yechen said was in fact about her.
“No, he wasn’t talking about you, he was talking about someone else.”
“Oh, alright.” With that short answer, the little lady continued to stuff her face with her elixir pills.
Seeing the way the little lady consumed the elixir pills, Yun Qianyu couldn’t help feeling pained by the wastage. However, the elixir pills were not hers, so even if she felt this was a waste, it wasn’t her place to say something about it. Yun Qianyu only lifted the curtain and glared at Xiao Yechen, giving him a cold look. Xiao Yechen didn’t complain anymore after receiving a warning.
Yun Qianyu lowered the curtain of the carriage and looked at the little lady in the carriage. Seeing that she had yellow spirit energy at a young age, it showed that she was highly gifted. Moreover, the fact that she could consume elixir pills like beans meant that she had strong support behind her. ‘Maybe there are Alchemists in her family, that’s why she doesn’t care much for the valuable elixir pills she has
I had better not provoke such a person’, Yun Qianyu thought. She then looked at the little lady with grateful eyes and said, “Little lady, thank you once…”
Before Yun Qianyu could finish thanking her, the little lady looked up at her and said, “Big sister, my name is Feng Qingling, my brother calls me Little Bell, you can also call me Little Bell.”
After Little Bell finished consuming the elixir pills from the bottle, she threw the bottle out of the carriage and said while rubbing her stomach, “I’m so hungry! The pills didn’t fill my stomach.”
Yun Qianyu’s face darkened and she wanted to facepalm at Little Bell’s statement. She pointed at Little Bell’s belly and asked, “Did you eat the elixir pills because you were hungry?”
“Yes, I don’t have anything to eat. I felt hungry, so I just took the elixir pills to fill my stomach. Unfortunately, I still feel very hungry.”
