Next day before class everyone was shocked by Xiao Ning'er approaching Hong Yue Xian and presenting him with her handmade bento box. Afterwards they sat together and ate breakfast, while chatting. The food Xiao Ning'er made was delicious. Hong Yue Xian had a great time, despite being giving death stares by the entire class, and begged her for more of her handmade cooking in the future, to which she bashfully agreed. She seemed to be delighted that he liked her cooking.
Soon Shen Xiu walked in. She looked so smug and pleased, that she looked like a proud peacock strutting around. Hong Yue Xian narrowed his eyes. If he was not mistaken today Shen Xiu will talk about inscriptions. If Hong Yue Xian wanted to get Huyan Lanruo's attention and interest in the future, he would need to be the one to defame the Sacred family.
Others might feel apprehensive but he was from the Hong Yue family so the Sacred family would not be able to touch him. Thus, Hong Yue Xian waited for the right moment and basically repeated what Nie Li said in the novel. Shen Xiu was furious but he did not care, she looked pretty hot when she was angry.
After the class was dismissed Hong Yue Xian swept his eyes past several people. Xiao Ning'er was feeling glad Sacred Family got humiliated yet felt concerned about him. Ye Ziyun was curiously observing him, partly because of what happened and partly because of Xiao Ning'er. Nie Li was looking at Hong Yue Xian thoughtfully for a moment before shrugging and staring at Ye Ziyun. Shen Yue, however, gave him a death glare before storming away.
In the next few days the classes were rather peaceful. Hong Yue Xian enjoyed spending time with Xiao Ning'er. Every three days he would treat her disease, while she will treat him with her cooking every morning. Soon a week passed by when one day Glory City went mad. Everywhere servants and alchemists could be seen running around shouting and begging for some Purple Mist Grass. Immediately, the price of it rose multiple times and kept increasing everyday.
Once the price rose enough Hong Yue Xian started to sell it in small amounts, to wet people's appetite. There was still some time until the price reached its highest yet, so in the meantime Hong Yue Xian was treating Xiao Ning'er in the Training grounds. Once they finished he presented her a gift.
"What is it?" Asked Xiao Ning'er as she held up a pendant.
"This is an abstruse gemstone, it allows the wearer to cultivate twice as fast. I know about your situation and your desire for cultivation, so I thought it would be of use to you. You don't like it?" Replied Hong Yue Xian, acting shy.
Xiao Ning'er was surprised by the pendant's effect, she could also feel warmth spread in her heart at such a thoughtful and generous gift. She wanted to reject at first, but after much thought she accepted it.
"I will accept it then, thank you. Could you help me wear it, please?" Inquired Xiao Ning'er bashfully. Hong Yue Xian gladly helped her, both could not help shuddering when his fingers touched her neck.
"Once you reach Silver rank, let me know. I have a special demon spirit perfect for you. If you integrate with it, you will improve faster." Said Hong Yue Xian quickly and walked away, leaving Xiao Ning'er speechless.
Another week had gone, and it was time for the mass sale of the Purple Mist Grass. To that end Hong Yue Xian made a trip to the Alchemist Association, to sign a deal not only for the selling of his stock but also concerning his farmlands. He arrived at the Alchemist Association and was brought to meet director Yang Xin. How did he get past the guards? Simple. All he had to do was utter 'Purple Mist Grass' and he was welcomed like an honoured guest.
Director Yang Xin was as breathtaking as in the novel, though it was one thing to read about her charm and being on the receiving end of it. It was all he could do to not stare at her mouth watering cleavage.
Seeing the burning gaze of Hong Yue Xian, Yang Xin was amused and decided to tease him a bit.
"It is nice to meet you. I am director Yang Xin, you can call me big sis Yang. And you are Hong Yue Xian, the young master of the Hong Yue family, correct? I am told you have some Purple Mist Grass to sell. Can you tell me more?" Said Yang Xin in her sultry voice.
Hong Yue Xian cleared his throat and calmed himself down, before speaking. "It is a pleasure to meet you big sis Yang, the truth is I own several farms that produce Purple Mist Grass, and I also have some stockpiled. I came here today to sign a partnership with the Alchemist Association. I will sell you all the herbs I have in stock or that my farms will produce in the future at market price. What do you say?"
Yang Xin thought about it before asking a few more details. "I see. And how many do you have stockpiled? Our Alchemist Association needs a lot of it, so it should not be a problem for us to purchase all you have."
Hong Yue Xian did not speak and just handed Yang Xin a piece of paper. When she glanced at it she was dumbfounded by the amount. She thought the transaction would be at most several million demon spirit coins, but the figure she saw now made her gasp for breath. She swiftly turned her seductive eyes to Hong Yue Xian. "Little brother Xian, do you really have that much Purple Mist Grass?" She still found it hard to believe. What she got in response was a nod. With that she abruptly stood up causing her abundant breasts to bounce in the air. Oblivious of her own rash behaviour Yang Xin mumbled something about discussing it with the president Gu Yan, before running out of the room.
