Sick beauty boss just wants salted fish [different world]

outside the hallway.

Bai Yin just walked out of the door of the guest room where his cousin lived, and bumped into Chu Yan who came back with medicine again.

"Biao..." Bai Yin's words just started, remembering Chu Yan's indifference when he met before, he changed his words obediently, "Cousin's fiance."

"En." Chu Yan responded lightly.

"!"

Bai Yin's eyes lit up, and he said what he had been holding back in his heart before, "I think it is necessary to tell you something, that is, my cousin's birthday is September [-]rd, and it will be here soon... "

After all, his cousin and his sister-in-law have not known each other for a long time. It is romantic to fall in love at first sight, but the necessary love surprises in life must be prepared.

"Understood." Chu Yan nodded, glanced at Bai Yin, and added a rare answer, "Thank you for reminding me."

"No...you're welcome, cousin." Bai Yin was stunned by Chu Yan's rarely gentle tone, and when he came back to his senses, the word "cousin" had already blurted out.

Fortunately, Chu Yan had already ignored the title and walked over while rubbing Bai Yin's shoulder.

"Huh!" Waiting for Chu Yan to walk over, Bai Yin secretly breathed a sigh of relief and left.

His cousin seems to be very reliable, and she will make medicine for her cousin herself, but the sense of oppression on her body is too strong, and there is always a feeling of trepidation in her heart when facing him.

After Bai Yin left, Chu Yan, who walked into the room with the concoction, saw a group of figures "sleeping" on the bed, and a look of helplessness flashed in his eyes.

Without breaking through Wu Baishuang's careful thinking, Chu Yan put the medicine juice down on the table, and set up a fire spirit array with his bare hands to keep the medicine bowl warm.Then he took out a dessert from the space ring, and left a note for Wu Baishuang.Then he walked out of the house and closed the door gently.

After the Battle of the Beast Tide in Moon City, the Zhegui Mercenary Corps took a rest and planned to return to Yancheng, the main city where the Mercenary Union is located, in these two days.Mingyue and Mingqi have something to discuss with Chu Yan.

Mingyue originally wanted to come here, but Wu Baishuang was still sleeping, so Chu Yan planned to go to their place by himself.

After Chu Yan left, Wu Baishuang heard the sound of closing the door, poked out a pair of eyes from under the quilt, but didn't see the figure he expected, he immediately lifted the quilt and got up from the bed in some surprise.

Could it be that Chu Yan found out that he didn't want to drink the medicine, and then angrily took the medicine bowl away?

Wu Baishuang reflected on his words and deeds from the bottom of his heart, feeling a little guilty, until he glanced around the room and saw the medicine bowl on the table——

"..." The person left, but the medicine bowl was still there.

It even uses spiritual fire to keep warm! ! !

What's wrong with a dignified fire-type sky-level cultivator, why should he spend so much time on heat-preserving concoction?

Wu Baishuang's face collapsed.

Although he was somewhat reluctant, he still walked to the table and took the bowl of bitter concoction and drank it.Then he quickly stuffed a piece of sweet cake into his mouth to relieve the taste that was occupied by the bitter taste.

After a set of smooth and flowing movements of drinking medicine, Wu Baishuang put down the medicine bowl, and only then did she see the note next to the dessert box.

[Remember to drink the medicine, I'll go to Mingyue's guest room, and I'll be back soon. 】

Signed a single word "flame".

The handwriting on the note was a bit sharp, similar to Chu Yan's eyebrows and eyes when he was serious.It is true that they say that their words are like their own.Wu Baishuang stroked the note, and put it into her space ring in a good mood.

After drinking the medicine, Wu Baishuang took out a book of stories, and read through it leisurely while eating the snacks Chu Yan prepared for him.

At this time, in the Tianzi No. [-] guest room of the Mingyue Inn.

Mingyue opened his mouth to suggest, "Yancheng is located in the center of Yunxi Continent. It is independent from Yunguo and Xiguo. In addition to the mercenary union, there are also pharmacists' union and weapon refining union. The Lord may as well go and have a look." , Maybe the pharmacist workers will have a new way to deal with His Excellency Wu Baishuang's cold poison."

Chu Yan thought for a while, "Yancheng is near Luocao Swamp, so it's a good way to go there."

"My lord is going to Luocao Swamp?" Ming Qi was a little surprised when he heard the name, "It is true that it is not far from Yancheng, but in recent years, there are not as many herbs in Luocao Swamp as before. One of the areas has become a wasteland, where nothing grows."

It is precisely because of this that the three major mercenary regiments will actively expand their power outward.

Chu Yan nodded, "Well, there is a piece of Ten Thousand Years Ice Soul that is about to mature, and Baishuang can use it."

"Wannian Ice Soul should be in the depths of Luocao Swamp, where it is relatively dangerous, so there is no time for the Pharmacist Guild and others in Yancheng to attack." Mingyue thought, "When does the Lord plan to go there?"

Chu Yan: "We will leave when Bai Shuang rests enough, you can go first."

"Yes." Mingyue responded, and immediately made a decision, "Then let's go first, and take a good position near Wannian Bing Po."

Generally, places with top-level natural materials and earth treasures will attract competition from various forces.In particular, the news of being sold by Qianji Building is not secret, and practitioners who need it will rush over.

What's more, those pharmacists in Yancheng have an almost stubborn fanaticism and possessive desire for medicinal materials.It is not so difficult to pluck the hair under their noses.You have to be prepared.

Mingyue's gaze gradually deepened, planning as if he was facing a formidable enemy.

Seeing that everything has been discussed, Chu Yan didn't want to waste time, so he got up and prepared to leave.

At this time, Xiao Huang, the golden-feathered phoenix bird who could understand human words and was very winking, followed Chu Yan obediently.It doesn't want to be taken into the contracted space by Chu Yan. It has been living in the same room with Mingyue for the past few days. At this time, Mingyue and others are leaving, so naturally it should go with Chu Yan.

One person and one bird were separated by three feet, and they lived in peace until they reached the door of Dizi No. [-]. Chu Yan, who hadn't reacted before, suddenly glanced at Xiao Huang.

"Haw..."

Understanding the meaning in Chu Yan's gaze, Xiao Huang stopped at the door very self-aware.

Those who know current affairs are handsome birds!

On the side, Chu Yan pushed open the door and walked in alone.

In the house, the person who was pretending to be asleep and didn’t want to drink medicine had already got up. He was sitting by the desk while eating and reading the scriptures. Seeing Chu Yan’s return, those light blue eyes lifted from the page, “Ah Yan, I drank the medicine after I woke up."

"En." Chu Yan raised his lips slightly, and then told Wu Baishuang what he had discussed with Mingyue.

"Yancheng..." Wu Baishuang thought for a while, and retrieved a fragment from the long-term memory in his mind, "The pharmacists of the pharmacists' union have a weird temper. They don't come to see a doctor, and patients go to see them."

Because of this, the Wu family did not invite them to come over to see Wu Baishuang's cold poison before.As for letting Wu Baishuang rush there all the way, Wu Baishuang was still young at that time, and he rushed from the imperial city of Xiguo to the mountains and rivers, and if there was any accident, the Wu family didn't want to bear it.

After such a delay, ten years have passed.

Now that the wings are fully grown, Wu Baishuang has no unnecessary worries. He flipped through the script and continued lazily, "Then let's take a look along the way. It is said that Yancheng is quite free." Without the control of the empire , the free Yancheng is also a place that practitioners yearn for.

However, according to the original plot, after the Longlin Mountains, Chu Yan will rush to the south of Yunguo non-stop, looking for the teleportation array to the high-level continent.

Wu Baishuang roughly guessed that maybe because of himself, the plot nodes will change accordingly, and the details of the subsequent plot will be different, but the important context should not change.

Wu Baishuang will not go to the corners of things that cannot be clearly understood. He will always live in the present and is a real hedonist.

"When does Bai Shuang want to leave?" Chu Yan asked for his opinion.

Taking a sip of the fruit tea with added sugar, Wu Baishuang narrowed his eyes comfortably, "I can do whatever I want, I have no objection." Anyway, he went to play wherever he went.

Two days later, a carriage with a low-key appearance but a luxurious interior left the North City Gate of Moon City.

In the carriage, Wu Baishuang leaned on the soft seat in the carriage, lifted the curtain of the carriage and looked back.At the entrance of the North City Gate, Steward Wu and Shopkeeper Lin were still standing there, waving in the direction of the carriage with earnest eyes, and there were even some tears in the corners of their eyes.

"It's not that I can't come back, this is too exaggerated." Wu Baishuang muttered in a low voice, but didn't put down the car curtain all the time.He rarely experienced such a sensational parting, but the feeling of being cared for was also extremely subtle.

"If you can't bear it..." Chu Yan said the first half of the sentence, but the second half of the sentence has not yet been thought out.Unlike Wu Baishuang, Chu Yan, who is a loner, basically has no bond with others, and he can go wherever he goes.

"I'm not very reluctant." Wu Baishuang looked at the two figures whose figures had begun to blur, and withdrew her gaze, "Come back and have a look if you want to come back later."

"Okay." Chu Yan responded.I began to think about how to return to the low-level continent after going to the high-level continent.The inheritance in his bloodline has been vaguely mentioned, but the specific method is unknown, and he probably has to wait for the bloodline to awaken again.

Thinking of this, Chu Yan said, "I'll practice first, and then go out to drive after dark."

The carriage that Butler Wu prepared for the two of them was pulled by a level [-] magic beast, the red lion. Compared with the level [-] green pheasant, the red lion can run extremely fast during the day, but at night it will get sleepy and can't find its way.

"It's fine to let Jintu pull the cart at night. It's idle anyway." Wu Baishuang took out two blankets from the interspatial ring, covered herself with one, and put the other beside Chu Yan. "Concentrate on your cultivation. , don’t worry about these things.”

"It's fine, call me if you have anything to do." Chu Yan nodded, then closed his eyes and entered the cultivation state.

On the side, Wu Baishuang, who carefully picked up the script to read, raised his head from the book, looked at Chu Yan's face, and was stunned for a very rare moment.He had never seen anyone who practiced harder than Chu Yan, and it had to be said that Chu Yan's serious cultivation appearance was also very good-looking.

Because he closed his eyes, Chu Yan's fierce aura subsided, and the remaining calmness and earnestness were particularly prominent.

Huo Lingli was quickly mobilized by Chu Yan, and surrounded him spontaneously.Even the entire carriage compartment became warmer.Although the current season is summer, for Wu Baishuang, all seasons can be regarded as cold winter.

Without too much hesitation, Wu Baishuang moved a little towards Chu Yan with the blanket in his arms, and then continued to read the script.

Outside the carriage, the Windwalking Wolf Jintu shrunk in size and lay on the driver's seat. On top of its head, the golden-feathered phoenix little yellow nest, which can maintain a miniature size without mimicking, napped on it.One animal and one bird are still in harmony.

The two red fierce lions in charge of pulling the cart ran smoothly on the official road, and the sound of the wheels rolling over was regular.

The carriage was going all the way forward, and the daylight ahead was just right.

Two months later, Yancheng.

The summer is scorching hot, and after several days of exposure to the sun, the neighborhood of Yancheng ushered in a heavy rain today.

The heavy rain was falling, and the rain washed the road, and the dirt road that was not paved with gravel had been reduced to a muddy place.The air has also become a lot more humid because of this heavy rain, dull and thick.

Unlike Yuecheng, the largest trading city in the Xi Kingdom, Yancheng does not have four gates, only the east and west gates, and there is an unwritten rule - the east gate can only go out, and the west gate can only go out. Enter.

At the east gate, the black iron gate is only half open, as if to prevent the mud washed by the heavy rain from flowing into the gate.

A group of mercenaries wearing the logo of the Goshawk Mercenary Group came from outside the city. They hurriedly walked, as if they were eager to return to the city to avoid the rain.

"Hey, this is the East City Gate. To enter the city, you need to go to the West City Gate to register." A high-pitched voice sounded from the watchtower on the city wall.

After the words fell, the guards of the city gate even closed the half-open black iron gate.

The torrential rain was still falling, and the turbulent water rushed to the closed black iron gate together with the brown mud, followed by the tired footsteps of the mercenaries.

"Open the city gate quickly and let us in. With such a heavy rain, the water level has been rising, and the mud will attract blood-sucking leeches in the Luocao swamp!"

"Yeah, you don't need to worry about it on weekdays, and everyone is trying their best to abide by this regulation. Now that the situation is special, let's open the city gate and let us go in to avoid the rain."

"Open the city gate quickly! The east and west gates are so far apart, if we have time to go to the west gate, will we still go this way?"

"..."

The mercenaries clustered and shouted at the city gate, their faces full of anxiety.

However, the results of the communication are bound to disappoint them.After the voice on the watchtower finished reminding, it fell silent.The black iron gate is still closed, motionless.

It didn't take long before something wriggled in the knee-high mud as the water level kept rising.

"It's blood-sucking leeches! They're coming!" a sharp-eyed mercenary shouted in panic.

Blood-sucking leech, a kind of worm in the Luocao swamp, is usually the size of a finger. When it is not sucking blood, it is no different from the color of mud, but after sucking blood, its body will turn blood red.

Under normal circumstances, the blood-sucking leeches in the Luocao swamp would not come out of the swamp.But thanks to today's heavy rain, the mud spread from the swamp all the way to the west gate of Yancheng. Naturally, the blood-sucking leeches also expanded their range of activities.

"The blood-sucking leeches have already swam over. If you don't open the door, then don't blame us for breaking in."

"If you have time to talk to us, you might as well run to the west city gate. If you have the ability, just force your way in, and ask us why we open the door? This is an enchantment set up by four heaven-level powerhouses. If you can open it, then We don't have anything to say, do we?" The eloquent voice came from behind the city gate, with a gesture of nothing to do with him.

The forces in Yancheng are divided, and the four major unions of Yunxi Continent gather here. The mercenary union is originally the strongest, but the three major mercenary groups compete with each other, and the relationship has never been very good.The remaining Apothecary Union, Artifact Refiner's Union, and Beast Trainer's Union, any one of them will be more cohesive than the Mercenary Workers.

The rules for entering and exiting the city gate of Yancheng were set by the pharmacist union and the animal trainer union together.

Although the team of the Goshawk Mercenary Regiment was very angry, what the city guard said was true. If they didn't have the strength to break through the city gate, they had to abide by the rules set by other strong men.

In this regard, the captain of the mercenary team had no choice but to comfort the members, "Everyone wait a moment, I have already contacted the young leader with a message bead, and she is coming in this direction."

Hearing the captain's words, the members of the Goshawk Mercenary Group couldn't help but feel relieved. Miss Qi Yin, the young leader of their mercenary group, successfully broke through the threshold of the heavenly level half a month ago, and now she is also a strong person at the heavenly level .

However, before the mercenaries relaxed their minds for a long time, an exclamation sounded suddenly. "Help, I was bitten by a blood-sucking leech!!"

The mercenary captain said with a bad face, "Give him the detoxification pill quickly, and don't spill the bloody smell when dealing with the blood-sucking leeches. Everyone protect your body with spiritual power. Don't be bitten by the blood-sucking leeches again."

Blood-sucking leeches will be driven mad by the smell of blood. Originally, they were just a group of third- and fourth-level bugs, but as long as they accidentally sucked a mouthful of blood, their strength would skyrocket by two levels.Moreover, people who are bitten by blood-sucking leeches do not feel well. They will be injected with a toxin that paralyzes the body, and they will not be able to move for half an hour.If it is not dealt with in time, after half an hour, the person sucked by the blood-sucking leech will also become a mummified corpse.

"Captain, the blood-sucking leeches in the mud are all level five!!" A mercenary member said in horror, "My body-protecting spiritual power will be bitten off by the leeches."

——There are five levels!

Those who heard this sentence gasped.

Their mercenary squad has the highest level of cultivation, which is the mid-level earth level, and the rest are black-level practitioners. They can deal with blood-sucking leeches of level three and four, but they will feel a lot of pressure when the blood-sucking leeches reach level five. Not to mention that the leech after sucking blood may still have the strength of level seven in a short period of time!

"Help!! I was bitten too!!"

"Where are the detoxification pills? There are not enough detoxification pills!!"

"Open the city gate quickly!! If you don't open the city gate again, you will die!"

"..."

The smell of blood has already permeated the mud at the city gate.And all the blood-sucking leeches in the mud, which smelled the smell of blood, became agitated, frantically rushing towards the injured people.

Countless blood-sucking leeches even set off a wave in the mud, which looked like a torrent of water from a distance.

"Crack-!"

At this moment, a very strange sound came from not far from the west city gate.But because of the hysterical yelling of the mercenary squad, no one heard such a movement.

Until a burst of cold air came over the surface, more menacing than the pouring rain, the sultry heat in the air was swept away, but in an instant, the entire piece of mud was frozen by frost.Those blood-sucking leeches that gathered towards the mercenary squad in the mud were frozen in the ice layer together with the mud.

"..." The mercenaries moved their legs. To everyone's surprise, they were able to move even when the surrounding mud was frozen.

"Da da da——!" It seemed that the sound of the hooves of the monster and the turning of the wheels sounded from behind everyone.

With astonishment on their faces, they followed the prestige and found that it was a large carriage pulled by two seventh-level red fierce lions.

The torrential rain falling from the sky was isolated three feet away from the carriage, and there was a solid barrier firmly protecting the carriage.Following the frosty mud, Red Lion pulled the carriage and walked to the east gate with ease.

In the carriage, someone lifted the curtain, and said in a clear and polite voice, "Hello, is this the gate of Yancheng?"
