139 Finding the Pill Furnace

As Kong Rui looked at the huge pill furnace, she frowned involuntarily.

Thinking of how corpses had been refined inside, Kong Rui felt disgusted. “This thing looks too dirty. I don’t want it.”

Kong Rui frowned and stared at the pill furnace.

Chao Bai thought for a moment, then he waved his hand to put the pill furnace into his storage space.

Kong Rui raised her eyebrows and waited for Chao Bai to continue. Unexpectedly, he actually turned around and walked in the direction of the array.

“Huh? What about my pill furnace?” Kong Rui chased after Chao Bai anxiously.

Chao Bai walked to the brothel keeper’s side without looking back. Then, he grabbed one of her arms and pulled her into the array.

“I’ll go find you a pill furnace now,” Chao Bai said. Then, he turned to look at Kong Rui. “Aren’t you coming?”

Kong Rui froze for a moment before quickly walking into the array.

After a moment of dizziness, she returned to the room in Fragrant Garden.

The procuress fell to the ground beside the potted plant. Kong Rui watched as the array in front of her gradually disappeared.

Kong Rui pushed the procuress lying on the ground.

The procuress woke up in a daze, but when she saw Kong Rui, she had a frightened expression.

Kong Rui had already covered her face with the bamboo hat again, so the procuress couldn’t see her expression.

She said coldly, “Forget everything you saw today!”

“I know, I know!” the procuress said hurriedly.

She didn’t dare to tell anyone about such a terrifying place. If others found out, how would Fragrant Garden’s business continue?! If her master found out that she had leaked the secret and she was thrown into the pill furnace to refine it, wouldn’t that be even more terrifying?!

Seeing the brothel keeper’s panicked expression, Kong Rui continued, “Seal this room. No one is allowed to enter without my permission!”

Not daring to delay at all, the procuress immediately nodded in agreement. “I’ll do it immediately! Without Master’s instructions, no one will be allowed in!”

As the procuress spoke, she lifted her skirt and was about to run out, but since she was too afraid, she tripped a few times and stumbled out of the door.

As Kong Rui watched the procuress, she could understand her current mood. After all, it was already good enough that an ordinary person didn’t go crazy after seeing such a scene!

Before Kong Rui could praise the procuress, Chao Bai grabbed her and dragged her out.

Kong Rui didn’t react in time and almost fell to the ground. Fortunately, the servant at the door had already been called away by the procuress. Otherwise, Kong Rui would have been so embarassed!

“Where are you taking me?” Kong Rui called out softly. Chao Bai had grabbed her wrist, so she had no choice but to follow him out.

“To go look for a pill furnace.” Chao Bai rushed out without looking back.

Kong Rui wanted to stop him, but she couldn’t resist Chao Bai’s strength at all. She could only let him grab her and drag her out.

Chao Bai only stopped when he reached the entrance of Fragrant Garden.

Kong Rui stopped and looked up at Chao Bai. “What’s wrong?”

Chao Bai seemed to be stunned. After a while, he said, “I don’t know where to find a pill furnace.”

Kong Rui couldn’t help but roll her eyes. She had wanted to ask just now, since the two of them were not familiar with the Imperial Capital at all. Not to mention finding a good pill furnace, they didn’t even know where pill furnaces could be refined!

Kong Rui sighed and was about to walk back when she saw Chao Bai looking in a direction in a daze.

“What’s wrong now?” Kong Rui followed Chao Bai’s gaze and saw a carriage rushing past.

Chao Bai’s eyes lit up. “There’s something good in that carriage!”

When Kong Rui saw Chao Bai’s expression, she couldn’t help but cry out, “Don’t tell me you’re going to snatch it!”
