"Little Spicy Strip?"
Qi Yan'er's nickname made everyone in the hall's heads buzz.
While everyone else was focused on the nickname, Yao Chen exclaimed in surprise,
"Yan'er~ you still have some of that salted soda made with the Sea Heart Flame?"
"Yes~"
Qi Yan'er giggled,
"My daddy made me a lot of salted soda."
"Little Spicy Strip~ you lick it so fast! Want more? Wait a minute~ I'll find you a few more bottles."
As she spoke, Qi Yan'er's little hand reached for the small wooden box again…
Imperial Capital, Nalan Family.
[Ding! Reminding the host, your daughter Qi Yan'er is running low on salted soda and urgently needs replenishment. The exchange price is 20,000 points. Exchange?]
"Exchange!"
Qi Fan, who had already entered the Nalan Family, exchanged it directly with a wave of his hand.
The Nalan Family, as one of the three major families of the Jia Ma Empire, certainly earned a lot of points for daily check-ins, but not as many as the points Qi Fan had earned from his current location!
His location wasn't just anywhere; it was the boudoir of Nalan Yanran, the eldest daughter of the Nalan Family!
After being led into the Nalan family home by Nalan Yanran's maid, the maid wanted to arrange a private room for him, since there weren't many handsome young men as tall and dashing as Qi Fan.
However, just as she was about to make the arrangements, the maid was suddenly summoned away, as if something important had happened.
So…
Qi Fan could only hide in a place no one dared to enter—Nalan Yanran's boudoir!
"This place is really secluded!"
Qi Fan remarked, looking left at the wardrobe and right at the soft bed, carefully observing everything in the room.
Lying calmly on the fragrant bed, Qi Fan had no strange thoughts; his mind was filled with the image of his beloved daughter:
"Yan'er, that girl, is finally safe!" The fact
that she needed salt water was proof enough that the matter in the Tagor Desert had been settled.
This finally put Qi Fan's mind at ease.
With his hands raised under his head and legs crossed, Qi Fan pondered,
"I wonder what exactly happened in the Tagor Desert..."
"Grumble~"
Suddenly, Qi Fan's stomach ached, and he said with a wry smile,
"I'm hungry again."
Since Nalan Yanran wasn't home, there was no food in the room, which made Qi Fan look outside. Thinking
of this, Qi Fan opened the door and went out into the courtyard. He saw a group of maids rushing back and forth in the courtyard. Confused, Qi Fan reached out and grabbed one of the maids. "Young lady, why are you in such a hurry? What happened?" The maid, startled by his sudden action, immediately looked at Qi Fan. Upon seeing this distinguished young man, she seemed completely unsurprised. Her pretty face flushed crimson with shyness, and she quickly bowed respectfully, saying, "Sir, you must also be here to treat the old master's illness, right?" "The old master just suddenly fainted, and his condition is not optimistic. That… it's over there." "Uh…" Qi Fan looked in the direction the maid pointed, utterly speechless. Did she think he was an outsider who couldn't find the outhouse? Well, that's fine! "Thank you, sister, you can go now!" Qi Fan smiled, releasing the maid's grip on his wrist gratefully. "You're too kind, sir~" the maid replied, her cheeks still flushed, and immediately ran off. Standing there, Qi Fan smiled faintly: "Is the Nalan family member critically ill?" "This is a good opportunity to check in. Shall we go to the front hall?" Qi Fan was always the type to do whatever came to mind. He took a step and walked towards the front hall.
Walking along the path paved with shards of blue, Qi Fan's eyes narrowed slightly.
He sensed numerous subtle gazes and spiritual perceptions emanating from hidden corners, observing his every move.
"Truly worthy of being one of the three great families of the Jia Ma Empire, the Nalan family's defenses are indeed formidable."
Unconsciously, Qi Fan released his Dou Ling aura, causing those hidden in the shadows to tremble.
This "pretty boy" was actually a Dou Ling expert?
Then what was he doing here?
Amidst their puzzled gazes, Qi Fan arrived at the entrance of the luxurious hall, where he could see many people standing inside. As he
slowly entered the hall, he heard low whispers…
"Check-in!"
[Ding! Congratulations to the host for checking in at the Nalan family hall, gaining 10,000 points!]
Not bad!
This check-in further confirmed Qi Fan's suspicions; indeed, one could check in even upon leaving the venue!
Qi Fan walked in, attracting only a casual glance from everyone in the room. A young man who wasn't an alchemist was practically invisible to them.
They simply assumed he was someone's attendant.
With no one paying attention, Qi Fan calmly picked up his food and began to eat, listening to their conversation as he ate.
At this moment, a middle-aged man stood up from his seat and bowed to everyone:
"Gentlemen, my name is Nalan Yan. The patriarch is not in the manor; please forgive any shortcomings in our hospitality."
"You are all aware of the old master's current condition. Is there any solution?"
Hearing this, the dozen or so alchemists in the hall, who were among the most renowned in the Jia Ma Empire, exchanged glances. Clearly, Nalan Jie's illness was a major concern for them.
A moment later, an elderly man with gray hair stood up with a smile:
"I'll give it a try!"
A dozen minutes later, the old man shook his head and sat back down in his chair, giving Nalan Yan a helpless smile:
"I'm sorry, General Nalan, that branding poison is really stubborn. None of the dozen or so antidotes I concocted have worked."
Hearing the old man's words, Nalan Yan sighed helplessly:
"The old man's poison is indeed difficult to cure. To be honest, even the Pill King, Master Guhe, came once before, but he was still helpless."
"According to him, the old man's poison requires an alchemist with a special fire to remove it, but such beings are extremely rare. In this emergency, we can only rely on you masters."
"I beg you all to help and see if there are any other methods?"
"I'm not one to waste words. As long as you can cure the old man, the Nalan family will certainly not disappoint you in terms of reward!"
Nalan Yan's words pleased the alchemists in the hall.
Even the Pill King was helpless, so it's understandable that we couldn't.
Give it a try?
"Let's give it a try!"
Following the old man, a dozen or so alchemists entered the room behind.
However, after a dozen minutes, they all emerged, shaking their heads in embarrassment.
Clearly, they had no way to cure the poison that even the Pill King Gu He couldn't handle.
As each alchemist walked out with an embarrassed expression, Nalan Yan's disappointment deepened.
When the last alchemist came out, Nalan Yan's heart sank completely.
His cousin, the family head, went to the Tagor Desert and came back... his father was gone?
How was he supposed to explain this to him?
Without a Dou Wang expert, the Nalan family would surely decline, and its status as one of the three great families would be in jeopardy!
In the hall, the dozen or so third and fourth-grade alchemists had lost their previous smugness and pride, their faces flushed with embarrassment, remaining silent.
At this moment, the hall was completely silent, so quiet you could hear a pin drop, but...
"Slurp~"
A delicious, mouthwatering sound suddenly reached everyone's ears.
Everyone's attention was immediately drawn.
Before their eyes, they saw a young man holding a large watermelon... and eating it!
Who else could this be but Qi Fan, busy eating?
Everyone: Σ(⊙▽⊙ "a!
Who...is he?
