Chapter 185 Not Exposed (1/2)
Hearing that, Feng Jiu was completely straight faced as she looked at Old Lin and said: ”All of this is of course to be used for concocting the medicine. The h.e.l.l's Lord said he wanted the antidote for Frost Poison produced and I need to bring all these back to research into them a little.”
At those words, Old Lin was still a little doubtful as he said: ”But the medicinal properties of those herbs aren't suitable for countering the effects of Frost Poison at all!”
”Old Lin, it seems that you do not know this. All herbs and medicines pair up and counteracts each other in some way or another. Although I am not yet able to concoct the antidote, but I know that it will not be a mistake for me to bring them back to research into them.” Feng Jiu's face was serious as she spoke, looking highly righteous and stalwart in demeanor, driving Old Lin into a moment of surprise and then speechlessness.
”Then, is there anything else that you will need? We have many kinds of medical equipment in this Medical Tower. If there is anything you need, you can come find me anytime.”
Hearing that, Feng Jiu suddenly smiled till her eyes narrowed up into sparkling slits as she said: ”Old Lin, you're really such a nice guy. Don't worry, if I find that I need more medicine, I will come back here for more and I will surely come seek you if I need any medical equipment. Come on, let's go! You can lead me to go pick out some things that I will need.”
She went on to pat Old Lin on the shoulder like he was a buddy of hers and went downstairs together with him.
That very night, Feng Jiu began to mix up the salve for scar removal right in her own private and independent little courtyard.
Meanwhile, on the other side over at the main building.
Old Lin was reporting to the h.e.l.l's Lord on those herbs that Feng Jiu had taken from the Medical Tower that day and after he finished, he continued on to say: ”But your subordinate thinks that it's rather strange. The medicinal properties of those herbs are not used for treating Frost Poison but that Ghostly had insisted that the herbs are suitable.”
”Ghostly?” The h.e.l.l's Lord asked, casting a sidelong glance at Old Lin, his voice raising up an octave at the end syllable of his question.
Old Lin was taken aback, thinking silently to himself: [Why had the Lord not caught the main point he was trying to deliver? He was reporting to the Lord that the youth had taken so many of those highly precious magical herbs but the Lord had not uttered a single word about it, but was instead reacting after he heard the youth's name.]
But at that moment, he did not dare delve any longer on that and he could only reply: ”That's right. That youth had said to just call him Ghostly and it will do.”
