Chapter 127: Blood Rose Grass (Part 2)
"Little Yue, don't we have to go as soon as possible?"
"Of course."
"Then, why are we here. . ."
Mingyue, Fu Tao, and Liao Yun were not like the other examination participant. When the other participants were busy with the information and went to the location of the Blood Rose Grass, the three of them were enjoying their walk in the city.
Yep, they only walked around the road, with various kind of shop at both left and right.
Even Fu Tao couldn't fathom what was in Mingyue's head, not to say Liao Yun. But Liao Yun didn't care about the examination since she was only thinking about the combat examination for later.
"We are searching for the assignment, the Blood Rose Grass, of course. Why are you asking that?" Mingyue wore an unbelievable expression on her face, like she felt pity for the defect in Fu Tao's head. "Don't think too hard, don't be hard on your head."
Fu Tao couldn't handle the pitying face on Mingyue's face, thus he just shut his mouth rather than wounding his fragile heart again.
Not many people passed by as the three of them walked forward.
It was as if Mingyue was familiar with the road and knew the destination. After some time, Mingyue stopped her step as she stared upward and said, "We have arrived. Let's go."
[. . . It is not a joke, right?] Fu Tao's lips twitched as he didn't believe what he saw.
A building.
No, a store.
Above the door, there was a word,
'Apothecary'.
It was a place filled with many kinds of medicine's smell. Even though he was not inside yet, Fu Tao caught some scent of the various thing, mainly herbs. Fu Tao remembered some of the smell because it was not rare near the settlement, the Wind Chasing Tribe's settlement.
Not waiting for Fu Tao, Mingyue dismounted from Xiao Wu and went into the store, no, the apothecary.
Creaaaak. . .
"Welcome in." A mild-looking young man smiled when he heard the sound of the door opening. But when he saw Mingyue, he shook his head.
[Sigh. Another window shopping.] The young shopkeeper already gave up on attending Mingyue as he returned and slouched back on the chair.
Apothecary.
It was the only place to sell medicine's concoction.
Of course, there were many places other than apothecary, but the Apothecary was the only one with support from Apothecary Guild. Thus, this place was abundant with the customer, especially some big-shot.
Not only selling the concocted medicine, but the apothecary also accepted the recipe for concocting medicine and even selling and buying the raw material like herbs or Fierce Beast's material. The accepted Fierce Beast's material was like blood, horn, some internal organ, or everything that was related with concocting medicine.
Hence, this place was the most suitable to find some herbs.
And this was Mingyue's aim.
After Mingyue went into the Apothecary, she was greeted by the intense smell of herbs. The place was filled with green or brown. But there was also some weird stench in the air. The ventilation was not bad, but it sure was not enough to clear all the scent in the small room. All the wooden cupboards around the wide room in the Apothecary were filled with various herbs. There were also some concocted medicine and even wound-healing liquid. Some were shown in the display, and some other were put inside the cupboard.
But that was not the reason Mingyue came in.
Mingyue went in front of the shopkeeper and called him, "Uncle, uncle, don't sleep. I want to ask something."
But the shopkeeper was annoyed because he didn't expect that Mingyue would call him.
". . . If it is your parents, I don't know them."
"I know my parents. But I want to ask something else."
". . . If it is your house, I also don't know."
"No, I am living at some inn. So, I don't have any house. I want to ask-"
"If you want to learn about the herb, you should go to the Apothecary Guild."
"No, I just want to search for some grass-"
"You can play with the grass outside the city's gate."
"Humph. . ." Mingyue grew annoyed enough after the useless bantering.
Creeaaaak. . .
The door was opened again and a pair of man and lady came in but it was not Liao Yun and Fu Tao as what Mingyue expected, but a pair of unknown people.
No, it was a pair of fat man and curvy lady.
The man was fat and greasy, even his expression was disgusting as he always ogled the curvy lady's curve. Up and down. He was wearing some expensive-looking outfit and a glittering jewellery.
No, you weren't hearing it wrong. Yes, jewellery.
A weird taste for a man.
The curvy lady was wearing a tight-fitting red dress, her body shape was pasted onto the dress. Her pair of melon, er, I mean bountiful breast was very alluring, even her dress was almost unable to hold it in. Each of her gesture was very inviting, even the shopkeeper's pair of eyes was nailed on the woman's dress.
Even her chest swayed every time the curvy lady moved her hip and waist.
[Maybe he thinks that he has an X-ray vision?] Mingyue scoffed at the disgusting fat man. but when she looked down on her body, she saw the floor.
Mingyue was speechless as she realized the difference in reaction between her and the curvy lady.
[Heck! It is not my fault that my body is not like her!]
[Whose fault that my body is not growing! WHOSE!!!] Mingyue screamed out loud inside her mind as she experienced the injustice in front of her.
[Demon! She is a demon! Melon Demon! Demonic Melon!]
While Mingyue was feeling the injustice in her heart, the curvy lady hugged the arm of that fatty man and swayed her chest and butt at the same time.
"Honey," The woman's voice was alluring, enchanting everyone in the room. Of course, Mingyue was the exception. "Can you get me a few novelty things here?"
The fatty man enjoyed the curve and the softness of the curvy lady's body. His lewd face explained everything as he enjoyed it.
The fatty man nodded his head many times as if he was in a seizure.
"Of course, of course." But his expression changed as he realized that the shopkeeper was also ogling the curvy lady's body. It was obvious that the man's possessive nature would show up when a competitor appeared.
But the fatty understood that this shopkeeper was by no means his competitor.
"IF YOU STILL DARE TO STARE, I WILL SCOOP YOUR PAIR OF EYEBALL!" The fatty was in purpose make it loud as he threatened the shopkeeper. "DO YOU DARE TO OFFEND THE GREAT NAME OF RED RAGE BEAR MERCENARY?"
"GET EVERY EXPENSIVE THING IN THIS PLACE! AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING IS A RARE ITEM! I DON'T NEED A CRAP OR A FAKE! IF YOU DARE TO TRICK ME, I WILL MAKE USE THAT RED RAGE BEAR MERCENARY WILL RAZE THIS PLACE!"
Spits flew everywhere as the fatty made various kind of threat.
In order to show his charm, the fat man was posturing while cursing at the poor shopkeeper. And of course, adding the name of his backing was akin to adding a pair of wings for a tiger. Invincible.
And it was obvious that the threat was successful, the shopkeeper paled as he ran inside the apothecary. Not long after, he came out together with a wooden box.
"I am sorry to keep you waiting, mister. . . Eh, I am sorry, may I know what should I call this gentleman?" The shopkeeper wore a flattering smile as he sucked up on the fatty. But it was clear that the shopkeeper stole a few peek toward the curvy lady.
"Call this master as Zhang." Fatty Zhang wore a prideful look as he peeked at the curvy lady beside him. But it was clear that the curvy lady was more interested in the wooden box in the shopkeeper's hand.
"Ye- yes, Mister Zhang. The herb inside this wooden box is a rare item. The box itself is capable to preserve the herb contained inside it. Of course, with the prerequisite that the lid is closed. This one is the most valuable thing in our store."
"Crystal Leaf Azure Fruit."
