Chapter 46 - Digging and Burying

"You know?" Bai Li's eyes lit up, and looked at Yun Shaoning excitedly.

"Ahem …" Yun Shaoning straightened his body and coughed lightly, pretending to be mysterious. Then, he shook his head and said, "Everyone knows that snow lotuses are common, but ice heart snow lotuses are extremely hard to find. It is said that only one out of a hundred thousand snow lotuses will grow Ice Heart Snow Lotus, and the growth cycle of the ice heart snow lotuses to be especially long, which requires a thousand years to grow. Ink Grass and Blood Ganoderma are the same. Ordinary Ink Grass and Blood Ganoderma are everywhere, but Millennium Ink Grass and Radix Sanguinarum Sativum are extremely rare and precious … "

Hearing Yun Shaoning's speech, which was exactly the same as nonsense, a head full of black lines descended at the same time as Bai Li.

"Get to the point."

"Get to the point." The simultaneous roar shocked Yun Shaoning.

Seeing the identical expressions of the two, Yun Shaoning curled his lips in annoyance. These two were indeed martial brothers and sisters. Their expressions were so synchronized.

Yun Shaoning sat on the chair at the side and crossed his legs leisurely, "I have one in my house."

After remaining silent for two seconds, Bai Li jumped in front of Yun Shaoning and asked excitedly, "You really have a Snow Heart Lotus?"

"Yes." Yun Shaoning nodded his head proudly.

That Snow Heart Lotus was the treasure of their old man. It was said that it was gifted to their Yun Family's Patriarch by an otherworldly expert. Let alone eating it, their old man wasn't even willing to let them have a look.

The light in Bai Li's eyes instantly became crystal clear.

Bai Li's charming eyes turned around slightly, and reached out to pat Yun Shaoning's shoulders, "Are we friends now?"

"Right." Yun Shaoning nodded innocently.

"Then …" Bai Li slowly moved closer to Yun Shaoning, and lightly blinked her eyes, "If this friend is in trouble, are you going to help or not?"

"Help." Yun Shaoning stared at Bai Li in a daze as his heart raced uncontrollably. How come he didn't realize that this junior sister was so pretty before?

Looking at the foolish Yun Shaoning's face, Xue Qingyan had already mourned for him in his heart. No one knew better than him how seductive he was now. Let alone trying to lure him in like this, even if it was just a normal look or movement, Yun Shaoning that brat wouldn't be able to take it.

"Then the Snow Heart Lotus …" Bai Li continued to wink at Yun Shaoning.

"I'll bring it to you tomorrow." Without the slightest hesitation, Yun Shaoning heroically patted his chest.

Done! The corner of Bai Li's mouth raised as she snapped her fingers in a cool manner.

Yun Shaoning came back to reality and looked at Xue Qingyan with regret, "What did I say just now?"

Xue Qingyan immediately reached out and pressed down on his head, "I'll help you tonight."

"I have Radix Sanguinarum Sativum." Everyone looked up to see Murong Xun entering the house as well.

"The Radix Sanguinarum Sativum is in the palace?" Bai Li looked at Murong Xun excitedly.

Looking at Bai Li's bright eyes, Murong Xun instantly felt that if Bai Li were to ask him for the stars in the sky right now, he would not hesitate to pluck them off for her.

Murong Xun nodded, some kind of expectation could be seen deep in his eyes.

Bai Li frowned and pondered for a while before replying, "How many guards do you have at night?

Hearing Bai Li's obvious question, everyone felt a black thread falling over their heads.

Murong Xun's handsome face instantly turned pitch black, as he stared at Bai Li with eyes full of anger.

Was this woman preparing to anger him to death? Was he a monster of a flood? Why would she rather speak to an outsider than to her fiancé?

"Right, which direction is the palace's warehouse located at?" Bai Li said again, as she thought of something.

"I will have Li Feng deliver it tomorrow." Murong Xun said snappily with a darkened face.

"You …" Bai Li frowned as she looked at Murong Xun.

He didn't like her, and neither did she. He didn't want to fulfill the marriage contract with her, and she had never taken it seriously either. Although he was her fiancé, she didn't want to have anything to do with him.

Seeing Bai Li's complicated expression, Murong Xun was instantly displeased, "Don't worry about it."

"Who said I don't want it?" Bai Li panicked when he heard it, and flattered with a smile, "Um, thank you."

Murong Xun's expression finally became a little better.

"About that, do you want to swim in the lake? Let's go now." Thinking about how Li Feng would talk about Xi Xiang Lake everyday, Bai Li dragged Murong Xun and headed outside.

Looking at Bai Li's action, both Qi Wen and Qi Wen felt a head full of black lines. Miss, where is your moral integrity? In the past, when the young miss heard the words "Wandering Lake", she would either not go because she had the time or not. But now, she had actually decided to fight for the Radix Sanguinarum Sativum.

On the other hand, Murong Xun did not mind Bai Li's disrespect. With his other hand holding onto the soft and tender little hand, Murong Xun smiled happily, as if he was enjoying it a lot.

Yun Shaoning stared at the two people's hands that were interlocked, feeling that he was at a disadvantage. Why was it that even though they were both donating medicinal ingredients, he only had two seductive eyes. That fellow was able to go swimming in the lake hand in hand with his junior; this was too unfair.

"We'll also go swimming in the lake." Yun Shaoning pulled Xue Qingyan and jumped in front of the two of them.

Murong Xun's face instantly darkened as he glared at Yun Shaoning and Xue Qingyan in annoyance.

Xue Qingyan's gaze was indifferent, as if he did not see the angry look in Murong Xun's eyes.

Yun Shaoning ignored Murong Xun even more, and directly looked at Bai Li while laughing, "Junior Sister, you don't mind if we go together, right?"

Before Bai Li could say anything, her hand was suddenly squeezed tightly. Glancing at Murong Xun's dark expression, Bai Li braced herself and laughed: "Of course, I don't mind."

In an instant, Murong Xun's face became ugly again.

Just when the atmosphere became awkward, the little girl who was guarding the courtyard walked in, "Eldest Miss, Second Miss is here."

Bai Li raised her eyebrows leisurely, "Let her in."

The little girl bowed and left. After a while, Bai Ruoyu walked in with Yi Lan and the others.

When Bai Ruoyu appeared, everyone was dumbfounded.

Even Bai Li was stunned, she blinked her eyes blankly. What exactly was Bai Ruoyu doing again?

Murong Xun suddenly frowned, and looked at Bai Ruoyu with eyes full of disgust.

Xue Qingyan looked at Bai Lier worriedly. Usually, when Murong Xun was around, he would become a demon and think of ways to frame her. What tricks are you trying to pull this time?

Seeming to have felt Xue Qingyan's concern, Bai Li gave him a comforting smile. It was just a flower peacock, what could he do to her?

As he watched the two of them 'eye to eye' interaction, Murong Xun's face once again darkened in annoyance.

"Puff …" Yun Shaoning could not hold back and laughed out loud, "Bai Ruoyu, your brain got kicked by a donkey, why are you dressed like that?"

Yun Shaoning's words caused everyone to lower their heads and laugh.

Bai Ruoyu's face instantly darkened as she stared at Yun Shaoning with sinister eyes. Damn it, why didn't anyone tell her that the Xue Xiaohou and the three young masters of the Yun Family were there as well?
