People fight and become emperors in advance

Chapter 124: Red-hot Cao Ying (Additional Update)

"No, let me rest for a while."

From the room in the bamboo building, Cao Ying's slightly panting voice begging for mercy was heard.

Chen Xiao nodded with a smile and considerately handed over a still warm Qi-recovering pill.

Cao Ying glared at him unhappily, snatched the Qi-recovering pill she had made, tilted her head back and swallowed it. As the fighting spirit surged rapidly through her meridians, she bit her lower lip tightly with her pearly teeth, looking as if she was gritting her teeth in hatred.

Half a month has passed since I refined the Sea Heart Flame.

During the past half month, Chen Xiao was not polite to her at all.
From the lowest second-grade amplification pills to the highest fifth-grade Qingyuan pills, there are all kinds of them. He asked her to help refine twenty or thirty of the most common pills on the market.

The reason they do this is that the medicinal herbs would just gather dust if left there, and if they are not used up they can be counted as income for Fengcheng.

As bottle after bottle of pills were refined, Chen Xiao was beaming with joy, but Cao Ying herself was extremely exhausted. For a whole half month, except for the time to recover her fighting spirit, she spent almost the entire time in this room, becoming a real pill-refining machine.

"Let's stop here today. This batch of pills will be enough for us to use for a long time. Besides, I have already agreed with the Fourth Elder that I will only use your time for half a month. After I send you off, I will also go into seclusion."

As he spoke, Chen Xiao took out a piece of parchment from his ring and handed it to Cao Ying.

This genius alchemist is indeed useful. He doesn't feel bad about giving her some information that is useless to him, or even some of Han Feng's legacy.

After all, having reached this point, the two are bound to be entangled in the future.

Cao Ying took the parchment with a light twist of her fingertips. The moment she unfolded it, a look of surprise suddenly lit up in her eyes, and the corners of her lips unconsciously raised.

"Thank you."

"No need for verbal thanks. I'll give you the rest next time we meet."

Hearing this, Cao Ying's lips curled up in a playful arc. She stood up and walked a few steps to Chen Xiao. Suddenly, she leaned in close, noses almost touching, and her voice had a seductive ending: "I have a method that is not just a verbal method. Do you want to try it?"

Chen Xiao frowned slightly and retreated half an inch imperceptibly, but saw that the mockery in her eyes became more intense.

Immediately, Chen Xiao's heart moved slightly, and he stopped retreating. He stretched out his long arms and firmly grasped her soft waist. Taking advantage of the moment when Cao Ying lowered her head, he forcefully covered her lips, swallowing up the wanton teasing.

Cao Ying's whole body stiffened, and her fingertips subconsciously grasped Chen Xiao's collar. Her wide-open almond-shaped eyes were filled with astonishment, and her pupils were filled with confusion. A few breaths passed, and her chaotic consciousness had just returned, and the warmth on her lips had receded like the tide.

Meeting Chen Xiao's gaze again, Cao Ying's cheeks instantly flushed into a rosy red, even her earlobes became transparently red, as if one could see the boiling heat in her blood vessels.

Seeing Cao Ying like this, Chen Xiao raised his lips in a mischievous arc, his eyes flickering with laughter: "Where is your usual sharp-tongued and powerful presence? Turns out it's all just a paper tiger."

Cao Ying's cheeks were burning hot. She wanted to say a few more tough words, but she lacked the confidence. She could only glare at Chen Xiao fiercely, but her eyes showed a hint of guilt. She didn't dare to look him in the eye. She turned around and stumbled towards the door. In a panic, she almost tripped over the corner of her skirt and fled out the door in embarrassment.

...

noon.

While everyone was waiting, Cao Ying finally walked out of the bamboo building and stepped onto the back of the flying eagle with a seemingly calm expression.

"Chen Xiao, Bing Huang, Zi Yan, there's no need to see me off. We'll meet in Zhongzhou. Once we find the Transformation Grass, I'll have someone bring the Transformation Pill over."

Cao Xi faced the three people and bowed slightly in farewell.

Chen Xiao and Hai Bodong naturally couldn't be rude to a Dou Zong expert with such an attitude. Even Zi Yan, who was feeling very sleepy, followed suit and hit him with a fist.

"See you in Zhongzhou. Thank you for your help during this period, Fourth Elder."

Although the contact started in the form of a transaction, Chen Xiao had to admit that Cao Xi helped a lot.

For example, the matter of Han Feng, and the corpses of the two elders, Jin and Yin, were exposed outside the city. Every time the fourth elder took action, he did not take any spoils.

Hearing Chen Xiao's words, Cao Xi smiled and shook his head.

"Goodbye, Fourth Elder, and goodbye, Sister Cao Ying!"

Zi Yan forced herself to cheer up and waved her little hands.

Standing on the broad back of the flying eagle, Cao Ying wanted to maintain the dignified posture of a "mascot", but when she heard Zi Yan's voice, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her lips.

She smiled and waved gently at Zi Yan. Then her eyes fell on Chen Xiao, and she raised her eyebrows slightly and rolled her eyes at him. "See you in Zhongzhou."

"Have a bon voyage, both of you."

After Chen Xiao finished speaking, Hai Bodong also spoke.

Without saying anything else, Cao Xi and Cao Ying nodded, and without hesitation, they took off into the air.

In just a few breaths, he completely disappeared from the sight of Chen Xiao and the other two.

Retracting his gaze, Chen Xiao looked at Zi Yan who couldn't help yawning again.

"There's no need to be so anxious. If you damage your body, it won't be worth it."

Zi Yan's speed in cracking pills is much faster than her speed in chewing medicinal herbs.

Ever since I met this girl and let her experience the benefits of the pills, the amount of energy she digests per day on average has increased several times more than before.

Especially after returning to the Gama Empire, the pills were supplied in unlimited quantities, which enabled her to advance much faster than Chen Xiao expected.

Watching her overeating every day, Chen Xiao couldn't help but worry about her health, although for Taixu Ancient Dragon, this worry might be a bit unnecessary.

"We have to be quick! Sister Xiao Yixian has already gone into seclusion. When she comes out, she will definitely be a Douhuang powerhouse. You have to go into seclusion too. I can't fall behind!"

Zi Yan shook her head vigorously, very opinionated.

Chen Xiao rubbed her head and said nothing more. He turned to look at Hai Bodong and took out the information that he had prepared in advance and that could be used for trading and handed it over to him.

"Old Hai, Fengcheng will have to rely on you for the next period of time. Once our people arrive, the auction house should be operational. Please keep this information for future use. I have noted the value of each piece of information, and we refuse to bargain."

"Little Medical Immortal will most likely come out of seclusion earlier than Zi Yan and I. You can make decisions on routine matters. If any uninvited guests come, you can forcibly wake me up. There's no need to lose face. Although the Fourth Elder and Queen Medusa are gone, we are not without Dou Zong combat power!"

Just in case, Chen Xiao gave Hai Bodong a shot of prevention first.

With the Heavenly Demon Puppets that can be deployed in advance at any time, the Black Horn Region does not need to give too much face even if the old Earth Demon comes.

Hai Bodong took the stack of letter papers and just glanced at them for a few seconds, his face showing an unconcealable look of shock.

They are all good stuff!
There were quite a few of them that made him very excited.

But after taking a closer look at the location of those things and the difficulty of obtaining them, Hai Bodong shook his head.

Not worth it! Far from it!
These things simply don't have the cost-effectiveness to go there in person.

"Don't worry, with Xiao Yixian and I here to take care of things, nothing will happen to Fengcheng. But before you go into seclusion, there's one small matter I need your decision on. What should we change the name of Fengcheng to?"

Hearing this, Chen Xiao looked at Zi Yan.

The name is just a title, he doesn't take it very seriously.

However, Zi Yan was very interested in this before.

Meeting the gazes of the two men, Zi Yan's expression froze.

Soon, she returned to normal, revealing an expression that she had thought of long ago.

"Zixiao City!"

"The auction house is called Zixiao Pavilion!"

As she spoke, she stretched out her fingers and gestured in the air a few times.

As the name suggests, this name is just one character from each of Chen Xiao and hers. It is so simple.

Chen Xiao laughed in silence, but did not completely reject it.

"Change it to Lingxiao's Xiao, Zixiao Pavilion!"
