Chapter 330: Chapter 299: Willpower_1

Qiao Qianqian stood outside her door, clothed in a green robe. Her delicate figure is reminiscent of young willow sprouts in early spring.

“I have a favor to ask of Friend Qiao!”

Clad in a blue robe and with a composed demeanor, Xu Mu made his request with a respectful bow.

“Hmm! Friend Xu distinctly remembers me only when he has something he needs!”

Qiao Qianqian snorted coldly and was about to turn away.

Xu Mu quickly seized her arm and yanked her into his embrace.

This sudden gesture startled Qiao Qianqian and she tried to break free from his hold.

“What, what are you doing?!”

“You are unique and irresistible. I couldn’t help but act upon my feelings!” Xu Mu chuckled.

“You… how… how dare you!!!”

Qiao Qianqian flushed red, whether from anger or embarrassment, her porcelain face taking on the shade of rouge.

She had initially wanted to skilfully reel in Xu Mu, but she didn’t expect him to be so assertive and forthright.

In view of him preparing to make further advances, Qiao Qianqian finally managed to break free.

What cannot be obtained is always the most desirable; once you possess it, its worth diminishes.

“If you behave like this next time, I will not hesitate to report you to the princess!” Qiao Qianqian fumed.

“Haha! I was merely joking. Do not bear a grudge, Friend Qiao!”

Xu Mu burst into laughter, appearing as if he had indeed been jesting.

Qiao Qianqian huffed, cast Xu Mu a glance, and her mood remained a mystery.

“May I enquire if Friend Qiao could assist me?” Xu Mu inquired in a good-natured tone.

This one time I will let you off! Now, what’s the matter?”

Qiao Qianqian still appeared somewhat irate; however, it seemed more indicative of a lovers’ spat.

“Might Friend Qiao invite me inside first? Standing at the doorstep is somewhat inconvenient!”

“Hmph! You think it’s inconvenient!”

Even the act of embracing could be accomplished by you; yet you claim to feel awkward.

Huffing coldly, Qiao Qianqian permitted Xu Mu to enter and led him to the main hall. She personally brewed Spiritual Tea and arranged fruit and refreshments for him.

“These Spirit Fruit and refreshments are presumably all courtesy of Friend Qiao’s efforts, truly an unparalleled delicacy!”

“Cut the flattery and get to the point!”

Xu Mu’s sudden behavioural shift left her struggling to adjust.

“I’d like Friend Qiao’s assistance in procuring a batch of medical ingredients!”

Xu Mu passed several Pill Recipes to Qiao Qianqian; these were what he had collected himself, including tier seven Blood Sun Pill, tier eight Red Blood Pill, Hundred Sun Pill and tier nine Jinsui Dan.

“Except for Jinsui Dan, which might be a bit troublesome, the primary ingredients for the other three are commonly available medicines. They can be collected within three days!”

Qiao Qianqian’s declaration was no boast; she had a broad network and this was the Dayuan Imperial City, possibly the most prosperous city worldwide. There were abundant supplies; even rare treasures elsewhere were commonplace here.

“Please don’t rush, Friend Qiao; I don’t just want a single batch, I want a thousand batches of each!”

Hearing this, Qiao Qianqian almost sprouted water.

Do you think this is the lowest-grade Fasting Pill? You want a thousand batches!

“You must be kidding! One thousand batches of Blood Sun Pills would have been enough, but having such a quantity of medicine like Jinsui Dan can produce five to six hundred bottles. Even a large sect wouldn’t use it all in a hundred years! These are energy-supplementing pills, not cultivation-enhancing pills. Once they’re prepared, it would be challenging to sell!”

Within Qiao Qianqian’s words, there seemed to be a hint of concern for Xu Mu.

“Feel free to procure these materials, Friend Qiao. Here is the deposit. We’ll settle the bill each time we do a transaction!”
