"What's the matter, Imperial Brother?" Mo Xuan Fei looked at the paled Mo Qian Yuan as he sneered.
"Jun Wu Xie's temper has always been like this, she doesn't know the difference between heaven and earth, how could you not know this? We are talking about Qing Yun Clan, how could their pills be so easily replicated? If I remember correctly, Jun Wu Xie has never studied any medicine before, the only reason she's doing this today is because she does not want to make a fool out of herself in front of you."
When Jun Wu Xie had asked for the furnace room, Mo Xuan Fei laughed, although he did not like her, it was a fact that they were previously engaged although it was due to the pressure by Lin Palace. One or two things he had learned during that period of putting up with her was to be patient and had gained some insight into her temperament.
Jun Wu Xie was simply an arrogant girl who was blessed with looks. If she wasn't born into Lin Palace, with that temperament of hers, who knew how many times she would have died.
Make a pill? That was even more of a joke.
Who did not know that Lin Palace's Young Miss specialized in brewing trouble, and had absolutely no talent in anything else.
Even today, she wanted to personally make a pill to compensate Bai Yun Xian, would that not be an utter disgrace?
From Mo Xuan Fei's perspective, this was something she would do, such an outrageous act to try to save her face in front of her favored person. She had often went beyond her means to look impressive however it was at her own cost. Keeping up with appearance has been one of the things she had tended to do although they were all beyond her means.
When he suddenly thought of who her current 'favored person' was, his face started to be more gloomy.
"I don't need you to tell me what kind of person she is." Mo Qian Yuan replied coldly. He was very clear in the eyes of others, they had an ambiguous relationship, although in actual fact they were simply allies.
Jun Wu Xie had some skills, this he knew.
However her opponent was Qing Yun Clan Sovereign's disciple, and what's more, this was a secret recipe where others had no access to.
She had not even touched the Jade Dew pill before, how could she refine it?
"If Imperial Brother is distressed, just kill the black cat and everything will be resolved. If she is reluctant, all you need to do is to compensate her with another. We cannot let others say that our Royal Family neglected Qing Yun Clan." Mo Xuan Fei chuckled, however there was a dangerous glint in his eyes, he wanted Jun Wu Xie to know that Mo Qian Yuan is not a good choice. Even if he, Mo Xuan Fei did not want her, it was impossible between Jun Wu Xie and Mo Qian Yuan.
A prince who can't even protect his own beloved woman and what's precious to her, he was simply a trash.
Mo Qian Yuan glared at Mo Xuan Fei, apparently after strolling into his residence with Bai Yun Xian, he had been forgetting his decorum and had been acting more presumptuously by the minute.
This idiot really thought that he was sowing a discord between their relationship? Really stupid.
He could still vividly remember the fear from that night when that huge shadow pounced on him. No way would he ever commit the same mistake again by looking down on that little black cat.
Mo Qian Yuan knew that if Mo Xuan Fei carried on what he was doing now, he would most likely be seeking death, he would experience the black shadow pouncing over him and biting his neck.
On the other side of the Crown Prince's Residence, Jun Wu Xie had followed the servant to the furnace room. It was just as Mo Qian Yuan had mentioned earlier, although the room was clean, it was evident that this room had not been used in a long time as the bottom of the furnace was clean.
"Pen and paper." Jun Wu Xie requested from the servant standing by the side.
Once she had the writing materials, she quickly scribbled down a list of herbs that she needed and handed it back.
The servant immediately picked up the written list and looked at it.
"Bring this list of herbs here."
The palace maid looked blankly at Jun Wu Xie , her hands full with long lists for herbs, confused on what to do with them and what this Young Miss of the Jun family wants done.
Jun Wu Xie cast a brief fleeting glance, and the little palace maid was so overcome from the chill in those eyes, she immediately turned around, and hastened out the door.
"Your lowly servant shall prepare it."
"Am I that scary?" Jun Wu Xie asked the cat in her arms, looking at the back of the lowly hunched over form of the servant as she hastened out.
"No, these are people who have weak hearts." With no one around, the black cat has no need to hide its ability of speech.
People do not know Jun Wu Xie like the little black cat did. She is neither haughty nor superciliously aloof. She just ….. does not know how to get along with others ….. in a normal way.
Just imagine, a person kept alone from birth, it is for certain there will be repercussions on human interrelations.
Jun Wu Xie was locked up thirteen long years, her world had only been herself, growing up amidst the mountains of medicine and treatments, and the cold and lifeless medical equipment.
At that time, she barely spoke two words throughout the years. When the little black cat first met Jun Wu Xie, it thought she was mute, and autistic.
She viewed everything coldly, her eyes never showing a single trace of emotion.
From a young age, she was able to dissect still warm bodies unfeelingly, soaking the still fresh organs in formalin.
The little black cat has always felt, its mistress was just a machine incapable of emotions.
That was till the first time she learned to hate, it burned that cage that had imprisoned her.
She was finally freed, but more than a decade of imprisonment had made her develop a regimented, closed up lifestyle. Coming into society, she was unable to blend and mingle with people, unable to integrate.
She preferred to stay in the animal clinic, treating the animals.
Though animals are incapable of speech, and Jun Wu Xie cannot fathom the behavior of people, she is very sensitive and understands the needs and pains of the animals. She knows, why they are suffering, and how to help them.
At these times, Jun Wu Xie, does not need to speak.
Having joined that organization, where she met her only friend, she then began to feel, like a human.
Alas, the time Heaven gave her was short, everything ended before she could learn to lead a normal human life.
For those who viewed Jun Wu Xie as an oddball, little black cat had hated them. It was not its mistress that was odd, but it was those people who were stupid, and does not know how to get along with Jun Wu Xie. The unscrupulous little thief was the exception, and it is just proves that its owner is not without feelings, just that she does not know how to show it.
Because ...
No one ever taught her.
But with the Jun Family father and son, the little black cat believes, its mistress will be able to go far on this road to being normal!
Meanwhile, the palace maid sent a lot of herbs, also the medicine furnace fire was rekindled, and the temperature in the room started to rise.
Jun Wu Xie had everyone leave the room, sorted out all the herbs, to treat and process them, her eyes lowered in concentration. In this moment, she was back in those thirteen years of captivity, with the same eyes, familiar movements of the hands, absorbed into her medical prowess.
Extraction, grinding, crushing ... Jun Wu Xie's soft and fair hands seemed imbued with magic, all that passed those hands, in the blink of an eye, was processed with impeccable precision.
