Chapter 785: It’s a bit early

The setting sun shines through the open door, casting a shadow.

Wu Heng stood there, holding the prepared bouquet in his hand, feeling a little nervous.

This feeling is even more tense than when facing a hero.

The two elf sisters stood at the door. Xilagui was wearing a light green house dress, while Shi Yali was wearing a blue dress with her hair tied behind her head.

Wu Heng handed over the flowers and forced a smile on his face.

Xi Lagui glared at him, took Shi Yali's hand and walked forward, took the flowers, kept one for herself, and put the other into Shi Yali's arms, "He is thoughtful and knows that you like flowers."

Wu Heng took out two beautifully shaped cakes and said, "I made them myself. Let me give you a taste."

Shi Yali glanced at Wu Heng, and in her cold eyes there was a hint of tenderness that was hard to detect. She said, "Come in, dinner is ready."

"Okay." Wu Heng walked in carrying the cake.

Two bouquets of flowers were placed in the vase in the living room.

Then, the three of them walked to the dining room, where the table was already filled with prepared dinner.

Xi Lagui sat in the middle and asked the two to sit down. She scooped a piece of cake with a silver spoon and put it to Shi Yali's mouth, "Ah~! Try it, Wu Heng prepared it specially for us. He knows he is wrong, please forgive him, okay?"

Shi Yali glanced at Wu Heng, and finally opened her mouth, took the cake that was delivered to her mouth, and chewed it gently.

The atmosphere in the restaurant also became relaxed as Shi Yali ate the cake.

Xi Lagui turned around and pinched Wu Heng's thigh. Wu Heng grinned and said sincerely, "Shi Yali, I will treat you two well."

Shi Yali raised her head, her eyes met his, and she said softly, "Do you have the confidence to reach level 18?"

"Have."

Shi Yali said: "There is a natural difference in lifespan between humans and elves. Even if you reach level 18, your lifespan will only increase a little."

"Okay, Wu Heng is confident, let's eat first." Xi Lagui stepped in the middle and continued.

Shi Yali stopped talking and the three of them started eating.

The atmosphere was a bit depressing, not as relaxed as in the previous times.

Xilagui tasted each dish carefully, and after making sure there was no problem, she let Wu Heng eat.

He was afraid that his scheming sister would do something shocking and send the wizard away.

The meal ended in a slightly awkward atmosphere.

……

Had dinner.

Dong dong dong~!

There was a knock on the courtyard door. Xilagui glanced at the kitchen, then at Wu Heng, and said, "I'll go over and take a look. Stop arguing."

Having said that, he walked out.

Wu Heng sat in the living room, while Shi Yali came out of the kitchen and looked at the location of the courtyard.

"Come and help me pick up the bowl."

Wu Heng stood up and walked over, helping to take the tableware to the kitchen.

While cleaning up, Shi Yali said with a smile, "You're not scared, are you?"

"I'm just a little confused." Wu Heng put the tableware on the cupboard.

Shi Yali said, "What can I do? You are with my sister, and I don't want to lose you."

His expression was serious. "It doesn't matter whether you can reach level 18 or not, but you must be good to me and my sister. You just promised."

"I will treat you two well for the rest of my life." Wu Heng promised.

Shi Yali smiled even brighter, "I'll remember what you said."

Wu Heng shrugged, "I am a human being anyway, and my life is short."

"You said you could reach level 18." Shi Yali raised her voice.

Wu Heng smiled, "Don't worry, I will become a hero sooner or later, and let you become heroes too."

"I believe in you, and Xilagui believes in you too." Shi Yali smiled and leaned over, her water-stained hands hanging at both sides. She slightly raised her head and their eyes met.

Wu Heng lowered his head slightly and kissed her lips which were a little cold and tasted of pastries.

"Wu Heng, Shi Yali?" A shout came from the living room.

"Where's the kitchen?"

Xilagui quickly walked to the kitchen and saw Wu Heng helping to clean up.

"Wu Heng, please go sit in the living room." Shi Yali said.

Wu Heng returned to the living room, and Xi Lagui asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay, Shi Yali has forgiven me." Wu Heng continued to ask: "What does the association want to see you about?"

"It's still about the medicines. The store is still open, so we need to add more people to patrol." Xi Lagui said.

Wu Heng thought for a moment and said, "It will only be for the next two days. We will suspend the sale tomorrow and resume it after adjustments are made."

"Why is it paused?" Xilagui asked curiously.

The pills were so effective, I was a little curious as to why they had to stop.

"One is that it needs to be repackaged, and the second is the safety of the medicine. We're afraid that someone will buy it and mix some strange things in it, damaging the reputation of the pills." Wu Heng said.

After all, they are medicines. If someone swaps one or two pills.

It is very likely to cause death.

Xi Lagui didn't quite understand what was said, but she knew it was an adjustment for the better. "Okay, then we'll send some more people tonight, so we don't need to send anyone to the central area tomorrow."

"Yeah." Wu Heng nodded.

Then, he glanced at Xi Lagui, then looked towards the kitchen, and said, "I'm going to go back first. When Shi Yali calms down, come to my place for dinner. We haven't eaten together for a long time."

"It depends on the situation! We'll talk about it then."

Wu Heng stood up and walked out, and said to the kitchen, "Shi Yali, I'm going back first. I'll come back to see you in two days."

Shi Yali came out of the kitchen and said, "Well, let's go."

Wu Heng walked to the courtyard, and Xilagui followed behind him.

Before leaving, he said, "I know my sister likes you. It's good like this now. We can be together. You must reach level 18, understand! I don't want to live with a ghoul in the future."

Wu Heng held her waist and whispered, "Don't worry, I will love you well even if I can reach level 18."

"Eh~! How corny." Xilagui shuddered.

Wu Heng hugged her and kissed her, then said softly, "I'm going back. I'll come to see you in a couple of days."

"Ah."

The two separated and Wu Heng walked out the door.

When Xi Lagui returned to the room, she saw Shi Yali putting bouquets of flowers in different vases.

Looks like he's in a good mood.

"He's gone?" Shi Yali turned around and asked.

"Let's go." Xilagui sat down beside her and continued, "How are we going to explain this to mom?"

"You have thought about it. You have thought of a solution." Shi Yali said, and then added, "Last time I wrote to you, you said you would come to see me in a while. You'd better think about it as soon as possible."

Xilagui picked up the cake and ate it bite by bite. "You think so! You are the elder sister."

"You know I'm your sister now?"

"Whatever, you want."

"you think."

"Let Wu Heng think about it..."

"Then go call him."

……

Leaving the Deacon's Mansion, the street lights came on.

Crowds of residents poured into the streets to enjoy the cool air and watch the performances under the street lights.

Now in addition to the bards reading stories, there are also some simple performances. It is like a huge market and is extremely lively.

Wu Heng walked through the crowd and returned to the island owner's mansion.

The maids were playing games in the audio-visual room, and Wu Heng walked into the radio room.

Start contacting Shannara.

Soon Shannara's voice came from the other side, "I'm here."

"How is Netalei City?"

"It's the same as before, nothing has changed." Shannara replied.

"Any news from the investigation team?"

"No, the investigation team's intelligence has basically not been leaked to the outside world, and it is not convenient for us to inquire." Shannara said helplessly.

Wu Heng said: "It's okay, if there is anything important, it will be spread out."

"Yeah." Shannara simply replied without saying much.

Wu Heng continued to talk about the sale of pills.

Shannella was not surprised at all by the popularity of the pills. "The pills you improved are the most successful product and will gradually occupy the market in the future. Similarly, you should be careful. With your pricing, I'm afraid many people want to kill you."

"This..., it shouldn't be that serious, you're still risking your life."

"The market is also a war. You are in Treasure Island. If you go to any other place, you will be placed under house arrest or signed a slave contract just for the first few commodities." Shannara said in a serious voice.

"It's scary." Wu Heng continued, "Those alchemists who are unwilling to change and only want to sell low-level potions at high prices are not worthy of sympathy. What we are doing is correct, and it can benefit more ordinary people."

Shannella's tone was a little surprised, "You are quite confident. Well... I have to say that your tone just now was very charming, like an adult."

Ignored the other person's words.

Wu Heng continued, "I plan to suspend the sale of the pills and tie them to myself to increase my reputation."

Then, he told Shannara about his plan.

The other party fell into silence.

After a long while, he slowly spoke, "I don't object to you making preparations for the future, but isn't it a little early now? You're just level 15, and if you start making such a big move now, it will attract some people's attention."
