Chapter 177 - Evil Rich Man (2/2)

Ling Yichen immediately shut his mouth, laughing no longer.

“I will go and buy some herbs to refine some medicinal pills for you,” said Ling Chuxi with a frown when she saw Fu Chengyu’s ill-looking handsome pale face.

“What herbs do you need? List them down and I’ll ask someone to get them,” said Fu Chengyu with a smile.

“That works.” Ling Chuxi nodded and called out a few herb names. Fu Chengyu recorded them down one by one.

…

The requested herbs were brought back very quickly in quant.i.ties that were twice what Ling Chuxi had asked for. Ling Chuxi took the herbs and entered her quarters, secluding herself away. She no longer came out for the rest of the night. She even requested that her dinner be left by the door.

In the depth of the night, Fu Chengyu stood at the walkway of the loft, looking over at Ling Chuxi’s courtyard. The torches at her house were still burning bright. Very obviously, she was still refining medicinal pills. Without knowing how much time had pa.s.sed, the light in the house finally dimmed. Fu Chengyu leaned against a pillar, feeling a little complicated. However, he did not know exactly what he was feeling at the moment. He only turned around and returned to his own quarters after quite some time.

The next morning, after Fu Chengyu got up, he put on his clothes and stood by the walkway, subconsciously looking over at Ling Chuxi’s courtyard once more. When he saw the scene unfolding before him in the courtyard, his eyes widened. A heart-throbbing scene played out before his eyes.

Snow was fluttering from the sky. A maiden dressed in white with a sword in her hand was practicing her sword skills in the snow. Her movements were smooth and gentle, like the movement of clouds and flowing water. Her body executed all the moves she practiced gracefully and elegantly. Her bright face looked spirited. It was as though the snowflakes had come to life, spiraling all around her.

The scene made for such a beautiful painting that it made one unable to bear destroying it.
