117: Chapter 117 Underestimating Feng Yange's Strength

"This is a disillusionment pill. Keep it. If you happen to run into trouble after entering the Jiuyou Secret Realm, it might just save your life. Consider it a token of our brotherhood."

"A disillusionment pill?" Mo Yuan poured out one of the disillusionment pills and examined it closely, his brows furrowing slightly. Cang Yan explained, "The disillusionment pill can help one maintain clarity of mind, which is perfect for countering the seduction techniques of the Hehuan Sect."

"The quality of this disillusionment pill seems to be only Intermediate, right?" Jun Chen frowned. It was his first time seeing a Medicinal Pill of such low quality.

"There's no helping it. Alchemists are rare. Although the quality of this disillusionment pill is low, it is still extremely difficult to obtain."

A glimmer of curiosity appeared in Mo Yuan's eyes. "How much does this disillusionment pill cost per pill?"

"One thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones." As soon as Cang Yan spoke, both their pupils dilated in shock. "You said how much?"

Seeing the shock in their eyes, Cang Yan looked at them suspiciously. "Have you two been away from the world for too long? You don't know how hard it is to obtain Medicinal Pills nowadays. An Intermediate Medicinal Pill costs one thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones, while the most expensive Advanced Medicinal Pills have been auctioned for ten thousand Top-Grade Spirit Stones."

Mo Yuan and Jun Chen took some Medicinal Pills out from their robes and placed them in front of Cang Yan, signaling for him to open them and take a look. Puzzled, Cang Yan opened them and took one look. His pupils dilated in shock. He looked up at the two of them, "You actually have so many Advanced Medicinal Pills? Where did you buy them? Do you have a source?"

Cang Yan examined them carefully; there wasn't a single trace of Impurities, and the medicinal fragrance was pure. They were even higher grade than typical Advanced Medicinal Pills.

"We don't have a source, but you should be able to get some in the next few days." Mo Yuan and Jun Chen exchanged glances, and suddenly remembering something, Jun Chen added, "Actually, maybe not. He's just a nominal spouse."

Back when he was a nominal spouse, the treatment was slightly worse, but he should still be able to receive some.

Cang Yan's expression shifted from suspicion to shock. How could he have forgotten that they had mentioned to him that Feng Yange was an Alchemist? "Are these Advanced Medicinal Pills all refined by Mistress?"

"You should just wait and ask Mistress yourself tomorrow. We're going to sleep. Keep these disillusionment pills; after all, we have Advanced disillusionment pills. You can keep these few for yourself to eat." Mo Yuan stood up, took a spirit gathering pill, and tossed it into his mouth, looking at Cang Yan as if showing off. He treated the Medicinal Pills that Mistress gave him like candy.

Jun Chen also ate a spirit gathering pill. Seeing Cang Yan's shocked expression, he stuffed one into Cang Yan's mouth. "Enough bragging, let's go back to Cultivate."

Cang Yan could sense it. Once the spirit gathering pill entered his mouth, his previously damaged Meridians reacted, and the surrounding Spiritual Qi actually began to converge toward his body. This was an Advanced spirit gathering pill.

Cang Yan came back to his senses and wanted to call out to them, but Mo Yuan and Jun Chen had already left.

He had seemingly underestimated Feng Yange's strength.

Feng Yange walked out of her room, intending to go out and scout the streets. As soon as she opened the door, she was startled by Cang Yan, who was guarding the entrance. "Are you waiting for me?"

A nominal husband doesn't need to be this attentive, does he?

"Mistress, although I am a nominal husband, you are my Mistress, and I want to get used to it."

Cang Yan now deeply regretted not accepting the things Feng Yange offered him last night; there might have been Medicinal Pills among them.

Feng Yange looked indifferent. "I'm a very casual person. I don't have those ridiculous rules that Mistresses are supposed to follow. You are a nominal husband; if you have things to do, go do them. If you're free, just come with us. There's no need to specially wake up early to wait for me here. The transaction is fair."

Cang Yan replied, "I understand. Then I will follow you, Mistress. I must get used to being a qualified husband."

"Mistress!" Ling Feng walked over from outside. Seeing Cang Yan, he nodded in greeting before reporting, "Xiao Linger has appeared. She saw me and asked about you. I told her I would see her today and didn't let her follow me."

"Let's go, let's go out for a stroll and meet up with her while we're at it."

Cang Yan immediately stepped forward. "Mistress, I am very familiar with Jiuyou. Wherever you want to go, I will take you there. Also, there is something I need to tell you."

"Then let's talk while we walk."

Cang Yan told Feng Yange about the Hehuan Sect Saintess. This trip to the Secret Realm was dangerous, especially since they were all so handsome; it would be good to be prepared if they encountered her.

On the bustling streets of Jiuyou, Xiao Linger's expression was extremely ugly. She had just come out of the Xiao Family, and the resources she obtained were less than what she got from training. They said that for someone from a branch family, it was already good enough that she received anything at all.

"Mistress, the main family doesn't want to give you resources, yet they still want you to assist those Disciples from the main family in obtaining the nine nether lotus. It would have been better not to ask the main family at all."

Xiao Linger's husband complained indignantly. He was the most favored one now, so he dared to say anything. Xiao Linger wasn't annoyed. "That is absolutely impossible. The nine nether lotus can only be mine. It doesn't matter who comes; it won't work."

The nine nether lotus was her Opportunity. Feng Yange had promised her that she would obtain it, but with the Secret Realm about to open and Feng Yange still not having met with her, Xiao Linger felt a bit uneasy. If Feng Yange went back on her word, she would have no choice but to use someone else's blade to kill.

"I heard that the Hehuan Sect Saintess will also be going to the Secret Realm. Who knows how many male Cultivators will die this time."

On the street, Cultivators were all discussing the fact that the Hehuan Sect Saintess was going to the Secret Realm this time. The male Cultivators heading to the Secret Realm were all trembling with fear, terrified of being targeted and reduced to playthings for the Hehuan Sect Saintess.

Xiao Linger took note of this and waved to her people. "Go and find out about the Hehuan Sect Saintess."

"Little Linger!"

Feng Yange spotted Xiao Linger in the crowd at a glance. Hearing her call out, Xiao Linger immediately stopped her husband, signaling him not to make a sound. She then complained to Feng Yange with some dissatisfaction, "I thought you had forgotten our agreement."

Feng Yange's smile remained undiminished. "How could that be? I accompanied them back home to visit their relatives. We just arrived a few days ago. I've kept you waiting."

Feng Yange took out a Medicinal Pill bottle and handed it to Xiao Linger. "This is a spirit gathering pill. I spent a huge sum of money to buy this. Let this serve as an apology."

Xiao Linger opened the bottle and took a look. It was an Intermediate spirit gathering pill. Feng Yange truly hadn't seen good things before, but it was better than nothing.

"Just remember what you promised me. Have you signed up yet?"

Feng Yange looked at Xiao Linger. "Little Linger, you promised me that you would take me into the Jiuyou Secret Realm. I've been waiting for you."

"Let's go. I'll take you to sign up first." Xiao Linger didn't dwell on it anymore; after all, she still needed Feng Yange to get her the nine nether lotus.

Cang Yan walked behind and asked Long Ze in a low voice, "Why does Mistress need to find her to sign up for Jiuyou?"

"You don't understand Mistress; just watch." Long Ze saw Xiao Linger's husbands looking at them and reminded Cang Yan in a low voice, "I'll tell you later. For now, you just need to cooperate."

Xiao Linger brought Feng Yange to the registration office and used her Xiao Family identity to register Feng Yange and her husbands. Only then did Xiao Linger notice that Feng Yange had taken a new husband, and this one was peerlessly handsome, dressed in red as bewitching as fire.

"Feng Yange, you've taken another husband? This one doesn't seem to be human either, right?"

Xiao Linger's words actually reminded Feng Yange that she really didn't know whether Cang Yan was human or a beast. However, since he was a nominal husband, it didn't matter. If he didn't say, she didn't want to ask.

"I didn't ask. It's purely because he's good-looking. You know I'm a sucker for looks; if they're ugly, I don't take a liking to them." Feng Yange's familiar evasive words caused a glint of calculation to flash in Xiao Linger's eyes.
