Free Web NovelChapter 1409: Chapter 469: The Old Lady Buying Huangquan Water
Ye Lingyue’s medical skills are not simple?
Hong Mingyue seemed to understand and not understand, becoming more curious about the bottle of Huangquan Water in Xi Jiuye’s hand.
This seemingly ordinary bottle of water, could there be some mystery to it that even the Divine Masters of the Divine Realm would praise it so highly?
What secrets is this woman, Ye Lingyue, hiding on her body?
Hong Mingyue had countless questions in her heart but did not dare to ask.
In her arms, she held detailed information about Xi Jiuye.
The Divine Master of the Northern Territory, his favorite foods, books, and even his preferred personality, all were recorded within.
This information was sent to her by the Queen Xiyuan Demon Empress after she met Xi Jiuye.
How the Queen Xiyuan Demon Empress obtained this information was unknown, but according to the records, Xi Jiuye’s favorite type of woman was gentle and considerate, like the Divine Consort in his Northern Territory Divine Palace.
Hong Mingyue imitated this and indeed achieved great results.
Even so, every time facing Xi Jiuye, Hong Mingyue treaded cautiously, so she dared not ask much.
Hong Mingyue did not ask much, and Xi Jiuye was indeed satisfied with her sensibility and understanding.
He gazed at Hong Mingyue’s face, but his eyes unknowingly drifted toward Xuanwu Street outside, as if someone out there had a mysterious power that captured his soul.
On Xuanwu Street, Ye Lingyue walked out of the teahouse without turning back.
"Really, I should have checked my horoscope before going out, bumping into a plague god."
Ye Lingyue rubbed her wrist, trying hard to remove the marks left by Xi Jiuye.
"Speaking of which, what is Hong Mingyue up to, could it be that she’s changed bodies and even her personality has altered?"
Ye Lingyue had deliberately insulted Hong Mingyue just now, but Hong Mingyue seemed unbothered, and she wondered, wearing a face that was six or seven-tenths similar to hers, what was her intention?
As Ye Lingyue was pondering this, she suddenly heard an "ouch" from ahead, as an elderly woman with white hair standing in line at the "Jia Tianxia" guild was knocked to the ground.
An hour had passed, yet the entrance to the guild was still packed with people.
Upon seeing the person knocked down, two male martial artists beside the elderly woman quickly helped her up.
Those two appeared to have faces full of guilt, but Ye Lingyue clearly saw them take the opportunity, while helping the elderly lady, to pickpocket a Spirit Stone Bag from her.
A thief?
Ye Lingyue’s eyes narrowed. After inheriting the Miao Shou Kong Kong Thief Sect’s legacy, aside from mastering the skill of Pocket Inspection, she also developed Eyes of Golden Flame.
The two male martial artists were evidently accomplices, with one bumping into the elderly woman and the other acting, quickly blending into the crowd.
The poor elderly woman, oblivious, continued standing in line under the hot sun.
Witnessing this, Ye Lingyue stood silently at the side.
The elderly woman was lined up at the forty-eighth position, and when it was her turn, she suddenly couldn’t find the "forty-eight" ticket or her Spirit Stone Bag.
"What’s going on, where is my storage bag, that paper was clearly stuffed in the bag."
The elderly woman anxiously spun around, nearly turning her entire body inside out, searching, but still found nothing.
"Old lady, if you don’t have Spirit Stones or a number, don’t waste time in the queue; if you’re not buying, the rest of us still want to."
The two male martial artists who had feigned assistance earlier began to mock from behind.
"It was you who bumped into me, and your buddy behind you who helped me, didn’t you see my money bag and ticket?"
The elderly woman recognized the two, the same ones from earlier, and grabbed one of them, questioning.
"What nonsense are you spouting? We don’t know you. Get lost. Don’t delay our buying of the Divine Water."
Those two male martial artists seemed like different people, shoving the elderly woman who was weak and frail, nearly causing her to fall to the ground.
At this moment, someone caught her.
"Thank you, thank you, kind young lady."
The elderly woman saw clearly it was a kind young lady who had helped her up. She appeared young, with a dark face, looking very friendly.
Ye Lingyue also studied the elderly lady. Despite her old age and wearing a thorny hairpin and cloth skirt, her features remained exquisitely beautiful, hiding the grandeur of her youth, likely a great beauty when she was young.
"Old lady, be careful. What happened, tell me."
Ye Lingyue helped the elderly woman to the side.
While speaking, those two male martial artists who had pushed the elderly woman earlier squeezed to the front of the "Jia Tianxia" guild one after the other.
"Number forty-seven, one bottle of Huangquan Water."
"Number forty-eight, one bottle of Huangquan Water."
Hearing their voices, the elderly woman immediately stood up.
"Those two... that’s my ticket, you thieves!"
Suddenly, gathering unexpected strength, the elderly woman stumbled forward, grabbing one of the men.
"Give my ticket back."
"Damn old woman, get lost."
The two male martial artists, about to purchase the Huangquan Water, angrily kicked the elderly woman, and just then, a cracking sound was heard.
One of the martial artists screamed miserably, and a leg flopped down like muddy clay mixed with water.
Bang! Bang!
With two consecutive thuds, the other male martial artist flew out as well.
The crowd parted, and a dark-faced teenage girl rubbed her fists and twisted her neck, walking into the crowd, shielding the elderly lady behind her.
Who else could it be but Ye Lingyue!
After learning the Five Poison Treasure Record, Ye Lingyue had become highly skilled in acupoints of the human body. Her strike had directly targeted essential points.
These two male martial artists were likely crippled for life.
"What a disgrace, even bullying an elderly one."
Saying so, Ye Lingyue produced three storage bags, handing them to the dumbfounded elderly woman beside her.
"Ah, this is my Spirit Stone Bag, thank you, kind young lady. But young lady, these two aren’t mine."
The elderly woman recognized her storage bag and checked the extra two storage bags; they clearly belonged to the two male martial artists.
Those two martial artists touched their bodies, realizing that the young girl had somehow pilfered their money bags during the confrontation. It seemed the thieves had met their ancestor. Where would they dare linger further, limping away amidst the crowd’s rebuke.
"Old lady, these are all yours; those two people scared you, so take it as compensation for mental distress."
Ye Lingyue paid no heed and smiled.
The elderly woman grinned, finding the young lady before her very much to her liking.
"What a pity, no more Huangquan Water."
The elderly woman looked regretful; during the commotion, the remaining Huangquan Water had been sold out.
She had come for the Huangquan Water, queued the entire day yet hadn’t bought it, feeling quite displeased.
"Old lady, if you want Huangquan Water, that’s simple. Wait just a moment."
Ye Lingyue made as if to enter the "Jia Tianxia" guild, wandering inside for a while, and seized the chance to take a new bottle of Huangquan Water from Hong Meng Heaven, handing it to the elderly lady.
