Sick beauty boss just wants salted fish [different world]

Chu Yan: "..."

But your body is better off not taking a hot bath.

Looking at Wu Baishuang's joyful back, Chu Yan finally swallowed back the words on his lips, once in a while it should be fine... Maybe he can control the water temperature so that the hot spring water is not so hot.

"Ayan, this hot spring is huge, do you want to try it too?!"

Wu Baishuang's voice came from the bathtub in the house, and it was not difficult to guess that he had packed himself up and soaked in the hot spring in a comfortable tone.

Chu Yan hesitated for a moment, and the scene of seeing Wu Baishuang for the first time appeared in his mind uncontrollably.In the lake filled with moisture, the frost-white hair spread out on the surface of the water, intertwined with the quiet moonlight on the waves of the water...

Chu Yan stopped his thoughts.

He still doesn't want to go in again.

"Ah Yan?!" As if he didn't hear Chu Yan's answer, Wu Baishuang raised his voice a bit, calling him in the hot spring pool.

"I'll go and pack up..." Chu Yan replied.

"Don't you take a hot spring?" Wu Baishuang asked him.

"I'll go over after collecting the things..." His voice dropped, and the roots of his ears were slightly hot.

After Chu Yan finished speaking, Wu Baishuang responded and stopped urging her.

"..." Chu Yan relaxed a little, and readjusted his attention to what they got from Luocao Swamp.A lot of loot was harvested, except for the magic mushrooms and unknown spiritual things that Wu Baishuang collected, the things that Xiao Huang found in the space ring were also very messy, including some magic cores of monsters, and the fire attribute sky in the underground cave. Materials and land treasures, the grade of Tiancai and Dibao is between level six and level nine, and the quality is high-quality.

Tomorrow, when he was going to the trading center in Yancheng, Chu Yan sorted out all his things, kept what he needed, and auctioned what he didn't need.

Speaking of which, there was also the fact that Master Mo Jiuzhong wanted to teach him how to refine weapons.Chu Yan hesitated for a moment, and kept some materials that could be used in the refining.When he was in the Artifact Refiner's Guild, Master Mo Jiuzhong also prepared some introductory books for Artifact Artisans for him.I didn't have much time to read it when I went to Luocao Swamp, maybe I can read it at this time.

It's time for Bai Shuang's mask to change. Last time he said that he was going to buy a new mask. It would be much more convenient if he refined it by himself...

After scanning through the introductory books of the craftsman, Chu Yan had a general understanding.But when he closed the books, Chu Yan suddenly came back to his senses——

Bai Shuang was still soaking in hot springs in the bath.

Counting the time for packing up and reading, about two quarters of an hour passed.The people in the bath never came out.Thinking of this, Chu Yan hurried towards the bathing pool.

"Baishuang!" Chu Yan stopped at the entrance of the bathing pool and called out to Wu Baishuang.

Unexpectedly, there was no voice in the bath responding to him.

Without caring about anything else, Chu Yan rushed into the bathtub.

The water vapor in the bath was dense, and hot air came out continuously from the hot spring pool in the middle. The warm white water vapor made his vision somewhat blurred, but with his perception, Chu Yan could feel the figure in the bath, which made him I felt a little relieved.

When approaching, Chu Yan found that Wu Baishuang had fallen asleep leaning against the edge of the bath.

His sleeping face was comfortable and peaceful, but the warm water around him was a bit cold, and even the place where he was leaning on had condensed a faint layer of frost.

"..." Soaked for too long.The cold poison in Wu Baishuang's body has a tendency to spread outward again.

Chu Yan was annoyed that he hadn't reminded him in time, so he immediately stretched out his hand to pick him up from the bath without wasting any time.

Using spiritual power to dry the water droplets on Wu Baishuang's hair, and even the soaked bathrobe.Chu Yan carefully placed Wu Baishuang on the bed.

After Wu Baishuang touched the soft quilt, she rolled her body into the quilt as if out of habit, and buried her whole body in the quilt, revealing her head outside.

Chu Yan raised the corners of his lips, and a smile appeared in his eyes.

However, necessary examinations are still to be done. Just now, the cold poison has overflowed from Wu Baishuang's body, and he doesn't know what happened to his meridians.

Chu Yan took Wu Baishuang's hand out of the quilt, as if his sleep had been disturbed, Wu Baishuang's fingers moved, and he held Chu Yan's hand directly.

"..." After all, Chu Yan was not willing to change the palm-to-palm posture, his brows and eyes softened, and he felt Wu Baishuang's pulse with his other hand.

In Wu Baishuang's meridians, the cold poison is indeed permeating from the source, and it is slowly converging towards the source at this moment.In this process, the meridians were inevitably eroded by cold poison.

The methods that can alleviate the erosion of cold poison all need to use extremely cold ice-attribute natural materials and earth treasures to balance the ice spiritual power inside and outside Wu Baishuang, so that the meridians can be relieved by the extremely cold spiritual power.Only in this way, other senses will be deprived, and the suffering of extreme cold will be endured.

"..." Chu Yan hesitated for a moment, then gently put down Wu Baishuang's hand, re-tucked the quilt for him, and went to decoct the medicine.

"Well...Ah Yan, why did you come here? The water doesn't seem to be hot anymore." Wu Baishuang muttered in a daze under the quilt. Before he fell asleep, his memory was still in the bath. I don't know anything about being carried to the bed.

"..." Hearing Wu Baishuang's dream, Chu Yan paused when he left.

"You don't need to wear so many clothes in the bath, let me see..." The voice of the person who was still asleep fell low, and the last few words were so low that people could not hear them clearly.

"..." Chu Yan's ears felt slightly hot, and he chose the former between leaving here and staying to continue listening to Wu Baishuang's ravings.

Next time, if Wu Baishuang wants to take a bath with him, if there is a chance...he should be able to.

Thoughts circled in Chu Yan's mind, and finally ended up decocting medicine.It's better to think about other things when Wu Baishuang's body recovers...

Wu Baishuang, who had no idea what shocking words she said, buried her head in the soft pillow and slept soundly.

in a dream.

He soaked in the hot spring for a long time but did not see Chu Yan coming over, and when he was about to go to remind him, Chu Yan came in to take a bath in his clothes.

But there is no one who dresses so formally when taking a hot spring, probably Ah Yan is the only one.

So Wu Baishuang suggested that Chu Yan change into a looser bathrobe.It has to be said that the proportion of the body of the fire cultivator who has been training outside all the year round is also excellent. Wu Baishuang moved his gaze down a little bit, swept from the chest to the lower abdomen, and then——

He suddenly woke up!

After waking up, the snow-white bed curtain first appeared in sight, and what was grasped in his hand was not a bathrobe, but a soft quilt.

"..." So it was all a dream...

Wu Baishuang thought a little sadly, and then recalled the dream just now. It's a pity that he hasn't finished it yet.

But Ah Yan's skeleton is even bigger than him... Wait, not only the skeleton, but also the head seems to be a little taller than him.

Wu Baishuang made two gestures against the air on the bed, and concluded that Chu Yan should be a year older than himself, and he had eaten for an extra year, so he was a little taller than himself.

The scent of the medicine permeated the tip of the nose, and the familiar smell made Wu Baishuang a little dizzy.

"Drinking medicine again, I remember today..." He didn't seem to have taken medicine tonight...

Knowing that she was wrong, Wu Baishuang sighed, got up from the bed, and walked straight to the source of the medicinal fragrance.

In the side hall, the fire element cultivator had just finished decocting the medicine when there were subtle footsteps at the door.

Wu Baishuang, who was still wearing a bathrobe, looked up at him, with an expression on his face as if he was about to wake up, but his consciousness was already very clear. When he met Chu Yan's gaze, he took the initiative to say, "I'll drink the medicine gone."

"Just now you took a bath in the hot spring pool, and the cold poison showed signs of attack again, next time—"

While Chu Yan was talking, Wu Baishuang, who picked up the medicine bowl, froze for a moment, then took the words, "I won't do it next time."

Chu Yan was stunned for a moment. He didn't think it was Wu Baishuang's problem, so he immediately softened his voice, "Next time I will accompany you and remind you. This time it was my fault."

"Ah?" Wu Baishuang was a little surprised by Chu Yan's apology. He was always greedy for comfort, and if the cold poison flared up because of soaking in hot springs, it was because he was asking for trouble.

But someone is willing to take over with his lazy part, so it feels like floating in the clouds, which makes people more unscrupulous.

"Then let's just say that, next time you want to have a bath with me." By the way, he looked at the abs he didn't finish watching in his dream.

Wu Baishuang's eyes were stained with anticipation.

"Okay." Chu Yan was very conniving.

After drinking the medicine at night, Wu Baishuang was no longer sleepy.Not feeling sleepy, at the side, Chu Yan lit a lamp and read the introductory books of the craftsman. He simply wrapped himself in a blanket and sat next to Chu Yan to read the script.

After Wu Baishuang finished reading a chapter of the storybook, when she raised her head to rest, she had hot tea warmed by the fire-type spirit array and a few plates of pastries. She turned her gaze to the side, and her handsome and serious partner was also reading a book. Although the atmosphere was quiet but Also warm.

This kind of life is really pleasant.

Wu Baishuang held the script with a satisfied face.When I bowed my head, the storybook turned to the next chapter, titled "Growing Old Together".Most of the lovers who can grow old together in the world are like them...

The night passed quickly.

When morning came, Ming Yue and Ming Qi came to Wu Baishuang and Chu Yan's courtyard on time and knocked on the door.

Because Chu Yan said yesterday that he would go to the trading house to participate in the auction today, they planned to accompany them there today, and by the way, introduce the special products of Yancheng to Chu Yan and Wu Baishuang who came to Yancheng for the first time.

"Is the ghost mercenary group busy? You all accompany us there, is that all right?" Wu Baishuang saw that both of them were going, and was a little curious for a while.You know, when he was in the Wu family, he had to deal with various affairs of the family from the age of 12.With such a powerful force as Zhegui, there must be a lot of affairs to be busy.

"The meeting in Yancheng is over, and the rest are small things. And the trading center also has procedures for us to go through. For example, resell some things or hand them over to the auction house." Mingyue explained.

"So, don't you have your own shop?" Wu Baishuang asked.

"Eh..." Mingyue was stunned for a moment when he was asked, and he couldn't help but fell into thought when he replied, "The Zhegui Mercenary Group does not have a store, and usually let the mercenary brothers go to the trading center to trade. If not, the other three trade unions open more."

"It's convenient to save time, but overall it's quite troublesome." Wu Baishuang has dealt with the Wu family's shop, and also learned some business methods from the old housekeeper, "Look, every mercenary Everyone goes to the trading center once, and the entire ghost mercenary group has to go thousands of times, setting up stalls, bargaining, and running around for a living."

Mingyue nodded, "That's right... It was originally because the trophies obtained by individual mercenaries were all privately owned. As for the fees handed in and the benefits of the mercenary group, they were all extra."

"If you open several shops and sell the collected materials or other goods in a unified way, the profits will be sorted out, and then distributed to the mercenary group in proportion to the value of the items handed in by individuals. Bargaining only needs to The people who manage the shop will do it, and the rest of the people can continue to perform tasks without any worries. Just like the people in the other three trade unions, they are basically refining medicine or weapons, and they don’t set up stalls in the trading center. More time to improve yourself. What do you think?"

"Your Excellency Wu Baishuang's opinion is very correct. I will buy a few shops in the trading center later and arrange manpower to manage them." Mingyue agreed with Wu Baishuang's proposal.

If you are a casual person and don't have much influence, you can set up a stall by yourself.But when a big power develops, it needs to use more management methods.

Mingyue is also a smart person, after being reminded by Wu Baishuang a few words, he wanted to be clear.

"If someone takes care of it, my brother and I will spend more time." Ming Qi muttered to the side, "When the two adults go to Yunguo to practice, can we go together?"

"Huh?" Hearing Ming Qi's request, Wu Baishuang looked a little surprised, "Do you want to go with us?"

"Yes, our two brothers' cultivation at the elementary level of the heavenly level has been stagnant for about three years, and we still haven't found a way to break through. Originally, we also planned to find a place to experience breakthroughs, but there was no suitable time. .” Ming Yue also added following Ming Qi’s words.

"We will go to Shengyun College in Yunguo. As for visiting or other identities, we haven't decided yet. You may not all be able to go." Chu Yan's words were calm.

"If it's Shengyun College, my brother and I should have both passed the age for enrolling students." Ming Qi touched his chin. After a cultivator is promoted to the sky level, the appearance of aging will become slower. Don't look at him and Ming Yue still has the appearance of a young man, but he is actually in his 30s.

Ordinary people may be considered middle-aged at the age of 30, but for cultivators, their lifespan will gradually increase with the growth of their cultivation base, and the earlier they enter the heavenly level, the younger their appearance will be.However, under the rules of heaven and earth, if a cultivator who is not yet full reaches the heavenly level, his physical appearance will continue to grow until he reaches the peak state.

Mingyue added, "But the two adults still have a chance. The upper limit of bone age for Shengyun College's enrollment is 22 years old. We can still follow the two adults in as entourage."

Chu Yan said, "If you want, I have no disagreement with Bai Shuang." Mingyue and Mingqi are loyal, experienced in dealing with people, and they have the oath of the law of heaven and earth. If they betray, they will be punished by the law. Pulled into endless purgatory.

"Thank you two adults!" Ming Qi and Ming Yue showed joy on their faces.

Several people separated the outside world with a sound-proof barrier, and walked towards the trading center while talking about the future.

Not long after, the trading center in Yancheng arrived.

Because it was the second day after the autumn hunting day, there were not a few people who came to visit the trading center. There were crowds of people in the shop, and there were lively shouts in the area where the stalls were directly outside.

It seems that here, Yancheng is still the bustling Yancheng, and the dignified atmosphere of the fall of the president of the pharmacist union has become insignificant under the domination of the power of money.

"My lords, the shop here is run by the Pharmacists' Union, and the shop next to them is the shop of the Beast Trainers' Union. A little further back, that is, in the center, is the shop of the Craftsman's Union, and the rest are stalls. In the area, basically mercenaries are setting up stalls."

"In the outermost place, the largest building is the auction house of the trading center. The first floor is the Appreciation Center, and the second floor is the auction center." Mingyue roughly introduced it to Chu Yan and Wu Baishuang.

"Okay, you guys go and do your own business first, Ayan and I will take a stroll first." Wu Baishuang nodded.

"Where are we going to find the two adults then?" Ming Yue asked.

"It's the auction house in the trading center." Chu Yan replied.

"it is good."

The four of them dispersed and walked away.

"Let's take a look. I found that there are quite a few shops here to buy pastries and snacks. They are all things that are more suitable for cultivation." Wu Baishuang's gaze quickly swept around the trading center, but he really didn't find much fun.

"If it's pastries and snacks, it's more likely to buy directly from restaurants and inns." Chu Yan answered him, scanning the various shops, and finally landed on those scattered stalls, "But mercenaries will also sell them Some monster meat, and some edible treasures."

Not all Tiancaidibao is a cold stone like Wannian Bingpo. There are also thousands of holy fruits with excellent taste, which are similar in taste to fruits.

"Then let's go and have a look." Wu Baishuang became interested.

The two of them came to the trading center in disguise, and looked no different from ordinary adventurers, with their bodies tightly wrapped.The appearance can be said to be very low-key.

But they are not so low-key when they buy things.

But all the treasures of heaven, material and earth that can be directly imported are basically wiped out.

"Is it possible to buy too much?" Wu Baishuang noticed the gazes from around her.

"No, what else do you want to buy?" Chu Yan took the goods from the vendor while swiping his card to pay without changing his expression.Although they don't want to cause trouble, there is no need to deliberately accommodate their own needs.Especially when it comes to meeting Wu Baishuang's needs, Chu Yan has always put it first.

"No, there are no mushrooms here. The taste of Ganoderma lucidum is a bit old..." Wu Baishuang said with regret.

"..." Indeed, the ganoderma lucidum that has grown for tens of millions of years is indeed very old compared to the little mushroom that has just popped its head.

Chu Yan thought for a while, "Mushrooms can ask the proprietress of Yancheng Inn to see if they have stocked in the back kitchen. If not, you can go to the mercenary union to issue a reward order for collecting mushrooms."

"Hmm." Wu Baishuang was nodding.

The two of them were planning to walk towards the periphery of the trading center because they had finished their purchases.

Unexpectedly, the number of practitioners walking out at this time is especially large, and the flow speed of the crowd is a bit faster than before.In the bustling trading center, Wu Baishuang heard a few interesting conversations amidst the noisy conversation.

"Have you heard? Someone posted a mission in the mercenary union, saying they want to collect mushrooms in the Luocao swamp."

"Do you have to issue a special task to collect mushrooms? Let the restaurant's chef go directly to Luocao Swamp to pick them."

"The mission sender is not asking for ordinary mushrooms, but colorful poisonous mushrooms. I guess some eccentric pharmacist wants to develop poisons?"

"That's right. The job of finding poisonous mushrooms is much easier than finding treasures of heaven and earth. I'll go there too. I hope there are still places for the task."

"I heard that hundreds of places were allocated at one time. The employer is very generous."

"..."

The conversation stopped here, and the two mercenaries who were talking were rushing to the outside of the trading center.I am afraid that if I walk slowly, the opportunity will be taken away by others.

Wu Baishuang raised her eyes and met Chu Yan's gaze.Obviously, just now Chu Yan also heard the conversation of those mercenaries.

Chu Yan: "It seems that the group of people you bumped into in the Luocao Swamp have begun to lose their temper."

Wu Baishuang raised the corners of her lips slightly, "Shall we go over and have a look? Or go directly to the auction house? Anyway, the market for poisonous mushrooms has suddenly improved. It's not too much for someone to take the opportunity to make a fortune, right?"

Chu Yan looked at his appearance of making small plans, and suggested, "Then go directly to the auction house. You can also take out the things you got in the underground cave and ask the people in the treasure appraisal center what that thing is."

"Walk around, there are a lot of people coming to the trading center today, maybe there is still a queue for the treasure appraisal center of the auction." Wu Baishuang pulled Chu Yan towards the auction.

When the two of them arrived at the auction house, Wu Baishuang's previous worries were indeed correct.There was already a long line in the treasure appraisal center, even though they had arranged dozens of appraisers to turn around, they still couldn't dampen the enthusiasm of the adventurers from outside Yancheng.

"Hello, your magic core is a level [-] water attribute magic core. The auction house won't accept it."

"Hello, your fire-type spiritual skill is a mysterious skill. It's a bit ordinary. The auction house won't accept it."

"Hi, if you want to come to the auction house to buy something, you need to wait until the auction opens tonight. Now our Appreciation Center is closed..."

"..."

There are so many guests coming and going, the saliva that the appraiser said is almost dry.After sending away an adventurer full of dreams, two more similar-looking "dream chasers" came. Not all adventurers are lucky enough to find rare treasures.

Thinking of this, the appraiser only felt that he was getting more and more tired, and immediately said without raising his eyelids, "Hello, please show me the goods you want to appraise."

"My things are a little ordinary, but some of them are a little complicated. Master, can you see if this can be auctioned?" The young man in front of the counter said in a very polite tone.

The treasure appraiser reluctantly raised his spirits, and looked at the young man's hand——

"Level nine——!!!"

The appraiser opened his eyes wide when he saw the goods for the first time, and couldn't help but exclaim.
