Chapter 75: Admiration

A deal?

Boss Yao paused slightly, looking at Xiao Yan with confusion. Xiao Yan clasped his hands together and spoke solemnly.

If the medicinal herbs are truly as you described, and there are only Second-Grade Magical Beasts roaming around, then I am willing to go and retrieve them for you.

Really?!

Xiao Yans words brought initial joy to Boss Yao, but then he furrowed his brow and expressed concern.

Are you sure? Second-Grade Magical Beasts are equivalent to a cultivator at the Dou Shi (Battle Master, 3rd Level) level. Even the most renowned mercenary groups here try to avoid them as much as possible.

Boss Yao, please dont worry. Since Ive said so, I naturally have enough confidence in this matter.

Hmm

Observing Xiao Yans unwavering confidence, Boss Yao pondered for a moment, raised an eyebrow, and asked Xiao Yan.

What do you want in return?

Regardless, it is still a gathering place for Second-Grade Magical Beast. Even if Xiao Yan is confident about going there, he must have some demands.

Although Boss Yao himself is a healer, he only tries to do good deeds without compromising his own interests. He truly doesnt believe that Xiao Yan would risk his life without any requests in order to retrieve the medicinal herbs.

And Xiao Yan didnt hide anything, speaking directly.

As long as I retrieve the medicinal herbs for you, I would like you to give me the Blood Lotus Essence.

Blood Lotus Essence? Boss Yao paused, furrowing his brow. We dont have any Blood Lotus Essence in our shop.

Its the one on your shelf.

Xiao Yan pointed with his hand, and Boss Yao, with a furrowed brow, approached the shelf where the Yellow Lotus Essence was placed. He carefully examined the medicinal herb and ultimately revealed a look of astonishment in his eyes.

Indeed, this was not the Yellow Lotus Essence, but the Blood Lotus Essence.

Yellow Lotus Essence is a common medicinal herb, regularly restocked in dozens of batches. On the other hand, finding even a single Blood Lotus Essence among several thousand plants is not guaranteed, and Boss Yao naturally doesnt have the time to distinguish them one by one.

However, what surprised Boss Yao was not that he made a mistake, but that Xiao Yan pointed out that it was Blood Lotus Essence.

Boss Yao turned his head slowly, silently gazing at Xiao Yan, and after a long while, he asked softly.

Putting aside the value of Blood Lotus Essence itself, do you know the price difference between Yellow Lotus Essence and Blood Lotus Essence?

Faced with Boss Yaos inquiry, Xiao Yan truthfully answered.

Okay.

Xiao Yan nodded, accepting the two papers and storing them in his storage ring. He walked to the wall, retrieved the Heavy Black Ruler from his back, and lightly waved his hand to bid farewell to Boss Yao. Just as he was about to leave, Boss Yaos voice came from behind.

Be sure to stay safe! Dont risk your life for this!

Thank you for the reminder.

Xiao Yan turned around, smiled, and left Myriad Medicines Hall. His figure gradually disappeared into the bustling street.

Boss Yao watched Xiao Yans fading figure and couldnt help but feel a touch of emotion.

Such an honest young man was truly rare.

He hoped that his honesty would continue to persist

As Boss Yao was lost in his thoughts, his brows suddenly furrowed, and he lightly stroked his chin while murmuring.

Come to think of it, Xianer is also reaching a suitable age for marriage After they both come back, I should let them meet each other~

Boss Yao said this with a glimmer in his eyes and a slight smirk on his lips. But suddenly, he remembered something, and his expression gradually darkened.

No lets forget about it

Boss Yao quietly dismissed his own idea, a trace of sorrow flickering in his eyes.

If he really allowed the two of them to meet, it would be fine if they didnt like each other. But if they did, it would be him harming Xiao Yan.

Xianer was destined to live a life without a companion.

Cough cough cough!

Just when Boss Yaos face was still normal, he suddenly covered his mouth and began to cough violently. His complexion turned extremely ugly, and his body trembled so much that he could barely stand. Leaning on the counter, he weakly pulled out a medicine bottle from his sleeve and poured out a pill, which he swallowed. After a few seconds, his complexion gradually improved.

Looking at the bright red liquid in his palm that he had just covered his mouth with, he couldnt help but bitterly smile.

Am I reaching my limit?

Boss Yao leaned against the counter and slowly sat down. The thoughts he had just dismissed resurfaced in his mind.

Should I let them meet after all?

Even if it would be unfair to Xiao Yan, this honest young man, Boss Yao still hoped that Xianer would have someone truly trustworthy to accompany her.

Even if its only for a short while
