Chapter 362 - Tushita Palace (1)
Liu Huo did not know if Ji Fengyan’s nature had changed. He only knew that recently, Ji Fengyan grew more lazy and seldom left the house.
The few times she went out, she either checked on Liu Ruse’s recovery or hung around at Yichen’s newly opened pharmacy.
The pharmacy that Ji Fengyan owned had been open for a few days. It had a very special name, at least… no one in the Kingdom of the Sacred Dragon had ever heard of this name.
Tushita Palace.
Everyone who saw the shop felt that this name was rather odd.
Initially, Linghe had been shocked when he found out that Ji Fengyan was giving the pharmacy such an odd name. In the end, Ji Fengyan had prevailed against all objections and insisted on the name.
Everyone was helpless and could only live with the name and start the shop.
Nevertheless…
If they had known that in another world, a handsome monkey had once stolen an immortal elixir from an immortal abode called the Tushita Palace… what would they have thought?
As the sleeping partner, Ji Fengyan was naturally more relaxed about the opening of the Tushita Palace. She did not ask many questions after sending over batches of elixirs. By contrast, Yichen bore the brunt of the pressure. He stood at the counter of the Tushita Palace, still wearing his same old black cloak.
Even though he masked his face, many people recognized him from his dressing.
Many people who had been curious about this oddly named shop withdrew from the Tushita Palace the moment they saw Yichen standing inside. Their expressions full of dislike and disgust, they strode quickly away from the Tushita Palace.
After half a month had passed, the Tushita Palace had not made a single sale. In addition, when Yichen’s former “Senior Brothers” heard the news, they visited several times to make trouble.
During one of these visits, they had run into the Fourth Princess who happened to be passing by. Ever since Ji Fengyan had saved Liu Ruse, the Fourth Princess no longer hated Yichen. She witnessed Yichen being mocked by the group of ruffians without even daring to lift his head.
The Fourth Princess’s quick temper was ignited. She led her own guards, and without a second word, threw the ruffians to the ground and gave them a sound beating. Liu Ruse and Qin Muyao heard about this matter from the Fourth Princess. Liu Ruse had been bedridden for a long time and had only improved under Ji Fengyan’s care. When she heard that bullies had attacked the pharmacy opened by her benefactor, she furrowed her elegant brows.
No one else knew whether Ji Fengyan’s elixirs were any good. However, after Liu Ruse had consistently eaten them for more than half a month, not only had her body become stronger, there had been much improvement in her deficient vital energy.
Liu Ruse wanted to stand up for Ji Fengyan, but was forestalled by Qin Muyao.
As a result, that very afternoon, Qin Muyao paid a personal visit to the so-called Tushita Palace.
The Tushita Palace was completely empty and any passersby hurried past. Qin Muyao’s face was expressionless. He merely stood at the doorway and looked. Suddenly, he caught a glimpse of a familiar figure in his line of vision.
Today, Ji Fengyan had the rare opportunity to sneak out, so she brought Liu Huo to take a look at the Tushita Palace.
Ji Fengyan was in the midst of consoling the downcast Yichen. Liu Huo was standing silently by the side when he suddenly sensed a strange gaze sweeping in from outside the Tushita Palace.
Liu Huo involuntarily raised his eyes to look for the source of the strangeness. In that moment, his gaze suddenly met a pair of fierce eyes that were filled with aggression.

Little crazy brat: When did you return?
Mou Bei: I just returned a couple of days ago!!!
Little crazy brat: Do you know that you did not update yesterday? You are so irresponsible, you should be struck by lightning.
Mou Bei: I know I’m in the wrong… I’ll catch up when I get back… put down that Five-Blow-Thunderstruck symbol. We can discuss this!!
Little crazy brat: You will really catch up?
Mou Bei: Yes, really!!
Little crazy brat: Alright, I’ll give you a chance. If you don’t… hehe…
Mou Bei: That’s my girl.
[Note: The Tushita Palace is where Taibai Jinxing refines his elixirs. In Journey to the West, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven, Sun Wukong, went there and ate a big batch of immortal elixirs.]
