Chapter 12: Chapter 12

With the exception of aconite root, all the remaining medicinal ingredients were very valuable.

More importantly, how did a child know all of these?

Feng Chuge carefully sized up Ah Chen. The more time spent with him, the more questions she had for him.

“It’s a pill that can make me grow up.” Ah Chen narrowed his eyes and only opened his mouth to speak after a long pause.

“Pft—” Feng Chuge originally felt thirsty and raised a cup to quench her thirst, but after she heard what Ah Chen said, the mouthful of water came splattering out from shock. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

“What’s wrong?” Ah Chen glanced sideways at Feng Chuge with an indifferent appearance.

“Brat, why are you in a hurry to grow up? To marry a wife?”

“Well I’m not marrying you…” He curled his lips and thought,

I don’t want to marry a boorish woman like you.

“To talk about marriage at such a young age… I wouldn’t want to get married to you even if you wanted to marry me. I’d only consider it if you were to grow up in a short span of time!” Feng Chuge raised her brows and said jokingly.

Ah Chen looked at Feng Chuge and a few streaks of light flashed past his eyes.

His eyes moved ever so slightly before he said, “Then do you want me to grow up?”

Feng Chuge squatted down and patted his face. “My little baby Ah Chen, these medicinal ingredients are useless for growing up. They can, at most, be used for detoxification.”

“I want that pill!” Ah Chen was very insistent. “If you don’t help me with it, I’ll find it myself!”

“Erm…” Feng Chuge did not expect Ah Chen to be so stubborn. She honestly could not understand him. Why was a child’s mindset so mature? Ah Chen’s mindset was not something that could be simply described by the word precocious.

When she saw his firm expression, Feng Chuge chuckled and shook her head. “Alright. Since you want it, I’ll search for the ingredients… After all, you are my baby Ah Chen.”

Having said that, Feng Chuge pinched Ah Chen’s face once again.

His face slightly changed. Just as he wanted to speak, he felt some light movements from outside.

“Woman, someone’s coming in from outside.”

Feng Chuge focused on her senses and as expected, she detected some subtle movements not far away.

The opponent’s strength seemed to be rather high and they deliberately concealed their strength.

If she had not carefully paid attention, she would not have detected their movements.

As the footsteps approached, Feng Chuge could clearly detect their killing intent.

Her eyebrows slightly raised up and she turned to Ah Chen as she warned him, “Stay inside here and don’t go out. I’ll look for you in a while.”

After that, she went straight out.

Ah Chen stood there and his eyes slightly moved. After a long time, he softly muttered, “Stupid woman.”

He then raised his feet and followed her…

Outside the Linshui Pavilion, Zilan and the rest were already stationed there.

When Feng Chuge came out, she saw a man dressed in black brocade robes walking over.

The man was wearing a sumptuous robe, with soft hair flowing down his back. His elegant facial features were very angular, and he appeared very healthy.

It was undeniable that he was a beautiful man.

However, his handsome face was filled with endless anger while killing intent gushed out from his eyes.

“Feng Chuge, get out!” His voice contained spiritual force and his deep voice resounded through the Linshui Pavilion.

Feng Chuge walked out from the pavilion.

The moment she came out, she was met with the furious Helian Jinyu.

He turned and looked at Feng Chuge. When he saw the young lady dressed in white robes which appeared to be exquisitely made, he was momentarily shocked.

The Feng Chuge from his memories was not like this…

“You’re looking for me?” Feng Chuge raised her brows and looked at Helian Jinyu as she asked.
