Chapter 12 - Chapter 12: Inside and Outside

That night, Mo Rou was sent to be treated and recuperated, while the news of her being kidnapped by an assassin in the Ancestral Hall spread like wildfire.

Yet because Mo Rou's status was far higher than Mo Ling Xuan's, the Mo Family had to use all of her strength to suppress the news, which was why she could not completely ruin the news for Mo Rou.

Mo Ling, who had just finished buying things from the outside of the manor, had no time to care about these things. She returned to the small courtyard, closed the door, and spread all of the medicine she had bought on the table.

"Not enough, it's still not enough. There's still one more thing that's important!" Mo Ling could not help but shake her head, feeling extremely vexed.

Alchemy was a very respected profession in the current generation, and Mo Ling was one of the most popular alchemists. She was recognized as a hundred year old genius in the Mo Family.

Moreover, Mo Ling was the most different from the others. Other alchemists would focus on refining medicine, while Mo Ling was good at poison, the combination of the two knowledge could produce different effects. Furthermore, Mo Ling knew martial arts, so when refining medicine, she could use her own energy to mature the pill and save herself a large amount of time.

So to say that he wanted to treat Xia Zhi's internal injuries, and even recover his ability to speak, Mo Ling wouldn't mind at all.

But the worst part was the raw materials. She used to be a Family Head and could afford to spend precious herbs, but now she did not even get a single one.

Mo Ling's heart was filled with helplessness. She looked at the furnace and sighed, deciding to use the thing that she already had to stabilise Xia Zhi's vitality.

After an hour, Mo Ling's first batch of pills was out of the furnace, she observed that the color was not bad, after all, her current status was not high, she could not find any high level herbs, and could only try her best to make the best of the normal ingredients.

Mo Ling pinched it to test it out on herself, but suddenly a slippery thing fell from the roof. It was cold and slender, coiled around her neck, and ate her medicine in one gulp.

Mo Ling: "..."

Immediately after, another figure jumped down from the roof. This person was wearing the signature black robe, and the fan in his hand had been replaced with a jade flute. The verdant color made his fingers seem even more slender and fair.

Ou Yang Yin Shun patted the dirt on the corner of his clothes, feeling very satisfied with his landing spot this time, and then shouted towards Mo Ling's direction, "Xiao Bai, come back, don't randomly eat, what if you die?"

Mo Ling, "..."

After eating her pill, not only did he not apologize, he even ridiculed her. Mo Ling looked carefully at the large pure black snake around her neck and asked speechlessly, "Are you color blind? How dare you call it Xiao Bai when it looks like that?"

Mo Ling grabbed the snake by seven inches, gritting her teeth, "What do you think I am doing, a well? "If you want to jump, then jump."

Ou Yang Yin Shun smiled, and continued, "We are all familiar with each other, what's so special about that?" As he spoke, he poured himself a cup of tea and sat down on a chair as if to verify his words.

Mo Ling was even more speechless. You wanted to kill me last time, but now you're pretending to be a good person and an acquaintance. How can you be so shameless?

As he spoke, Mo Ling felt the snake in his hand beginning to crawl.

Mo Ling tried to pinch it with all her might, but the snake was extremely strange, like water, it couldn't pinch it, and couldn't grab hold of it. In a blink of an eye, it was back beside Ou Yang Yin Shun, and its tail was on the ground.

Not long after, Ou Yang Yin Shun suddenly said something to the snake that almost made her vomit blood.

"Xiao Bai, are you blind? Why do you think that she's my lover? Who would look for someone as ugly as her, both internally and externally? I feel that teasing me in the mirror is better than teasing her!"

"Get lost!" Mo Ling roared in fury. Every time this Ou Yang Yin Shun appeared, he would challenge her in every aspect.

He looked around, and suddenly saw Xia Zhi who was on the bed. He curiously walked in and couldn't help but frown, surprised by the miserable scene, but instantly restored his playful and disrespectful appearance, like a kind of disguise, "Oh, the Golden Room is a lovely place, but everyone is hiding beauties, you have quite a good taste in them."

Mo Ling did not have the time to talk back, since she could not get rid of the pill, she might as well ignore it and continue to study the pill by herself.

When Ou Yang Yin Shun saw that he was ignoring him, he was a little unhappy and went up to see what she was researching. In an instant, he saw the prescription that Mo Ling had placed on the table.

He looked up and down at the prescription, then looked at Mo Ling's furnace and the remaining ingredients, and immediately understood: "Not enough ingredients?" He laughed as he played with the jade flute with his fingertips. "I have these things."

Mo Ling's eyes immediately lit up, but she did not believe it. She pointed to the very bottom of the prescription and said, "According to what I know, there are not many of this Jade Life Incense in the entire Saints, and they are all extremely famous figures. How could you have it?"

The Jade Life Incense was the most vexing of all the medicinal ingredients. It was extremely difficult to obtain, and even she wasn't completely confident in her ability to find it. However, this was the most important medicinal herb in the prescription!

Ou Yang Yin Shun saw the desire in Mo Ling's eyes, and a cunning look flashed past them.

He removed the piece of jade that Mo Ling had snatched from his waist and held it in his hand. Then, he pressed it down somewhere, and with a "click", it opened up like a box.

Ou Yang Yin Shun took it out and placed it in front of Mo Ling, "Do you believe me now?"

"It really is the smell of jade." Mo Ling raised his hand to take it, but Ou Yang Yin Shun pulled back and retracted his hand, "I can give it to you, but you have to take something to exchange with me."

Mo Ling had already guessed it right away, "What do you want?"

Ou Yang Yin Shun raised his lips and slowly spat out a few words, "I want you."

He had exchanged hands with Mo Ling the last time. After going back, he thought everything through, and felt that she was more and more interesting. He felt that, in comparison to becoming an enemy, such a talent was better off becoming his friend. In the future, if he were to be used by him, there would definitely be many benefits.

Therefore, the reason he came this time, was so that Mo Ling could become his subordinate and do things for him.

Of course, he also knew that Mo Ling was not that easy to talk to, so he decided to rope Mo Ling in whenever he was able to. Even if it was destroyed, it couldn't be given to others.

Thinking about it, a cold look flashed past Ou Yang Yin Shun's eyes, and landed right in front of him. Mo Ling immediately turned cold: "What do you mean by that?"

"What I mean is, I'll give you the medicine, and you have to agree to work for me. If you think it's unfair, we can set a time. You can listen to my commands within that time limit." After Ou Yang Yin Shun finished speaking, he felt Mo Ling's suspicion and continued, "Don't worry, as long as you are honest, I will definitely not treat you unfairly. If you can do anything, I can even make you pay respect to me as the king of our clan."

Mo Ling didn't know what Ou Yang Yin Shun was planning, but after hearing these words, he was extremely shocked, "Who exactly are you!?"
