Sick beauty boss just wants salted fish [different world]

When Wu Baishuang woke up, it was already dusk, and the setting sun fell on his hand through the gaps in the leaves.

"Are you awake? It's time to drink the medicine."

Not far away, Chu Yan, who was sitting on a tree vine to adjust his internal breath, saw Wu Baishuang wake up, and quit the state of meditation, raised his hand and used his spiritual power to bring the medicine that had been decocted to Wu Baishuang.

There is a fire array under the medicine bowl for heat preservation, and the medicine juice is still warm when you get it.

"..." Wu Baishuang took the medicine bowl, looked at Heibuliuqiu's medicine juice, closed his eyes, and poured it down in one gulp.

No matter how many times you drink this concoction, it will always make you unable to adapt.

"Do you want candied dates or sweet-scented osmanthus cake?"

The sweetness of the cakes and Chu Yan's voice came together, Wu Baishuang opened his eyes, and he said without thinking, "I want to eat it all!" Children only do multiple-choice questions, and adults want all of them.

When Wu Baishuang finished drinking the medicine and eating the pastry, Xiao Huang flew over with fluttering wings, holding a bundle of papers in its paws, which was for Chu Yan.

Wu Baishuang was no stranger to this method of sending messages, and immediately guessed, "Is it Mingyue them?"

Chu Yan nodded, "Well, after we left that place, there was a lot of disagreement in Yancheng's forces. Earlier, Mingyue tried to contact me with a contract. At that time, it was inconvenient for me to go there, so I asked the little yellow chicken to run away for me. one trip."

"Look at what Mingyue said." Wu Baishuang rested her head on Chu Yan's shoulder, looking at the note in Chu Yan's hand in this posture.

Mingyue said in the letter that due to the fall of the president of the pharmacist union, the strange blood-sucking leeches in the Luocao swamp caused the other major forces in Yancheng to lose a lot of manpower. matter.

"The Autumn Hunting Day has only been started for three days, and it is about to end." After reading the letter, Wu Baishuang was not surprised by the result, but he had been running around for the past two days, and he didn't have much fun today, so he felt a little regretful.

Chu Yan saw Wu Baishuang's thoughts, "Yes, the climate in the Luocao Swamp is humid and not suitable for playing. It was better when I was in the Longlin Mountains."

Wu Baishuang: "But mushrooms are delicious."

Chu Yan curled the corners of his lips, "Then let Mingyue prepare more."

Wu Baishuang nodded, "Okay."

The two of them also wanted to go back with the big troops in Yancheng, except for the unexpected psychedelic mushroom and the conscious spiritual creature caught under the cave, they also had to find out the reason.

"After arriving in Yancheng, you can no longer use spiritual power." Before leaving to go back, Chu Yan did not forget to tell Wu Baishuang.

"Every time I do it, I will be very restrained, and I will drink my medicine well." Wu Baishuang proved his innocence for himself.

"It's not like this this time." Chu Yan looked at the person who was eye-catching just by standing in front of him, sighed in his heart, and explained, "In the previous battle, your identity as a sky-level cultivator of ice spiritual power has already disappeared. Exposure, those people in Yancheng will definitely look for you when they go back. There are very few ice attribute cultivators, and even those who can reach the sky level are even rarer in Yunxi Continent. Once you use your spiritual power, you will be stared at by those people superior."

When you are away from home, it is better to keep a low profile.

Wu Baishuang naturally understood this truth, and he responded, "Okay, then let's go back in a different way. I guess the place to live is not very secure."

When he came to Yancheng, Wu Baishuang had a conflict with the members of the Beast Trainer Union, and seemed to have knocked out their elders... Many people saw it at that time, and they also knew that a heaven-level man came to the Yancheng Inn Peak cultivator.

Chu Yan said: "You can go to Zhegui Mercenary Group to stay for a few days first, and figure out the Luocao Swamp, we should go south."

Wu Baishuang naturally had no objection.

In fact, if there was no delay in coming to Yancheng, Chu Yan should be preparing for the high-level continent at Shengyun College in Yunguo.

Thinking of the original plot direction, Wu Baishuang looked at Chu Yan from the corner of his eyes.

If he hadn't come to Yancheng, Chu Yan would have been targeted by the Wu family in Yuecheng, and then hunted down all the way. He became a student of Shengyun College and took the opportunity to temporarily avoid the secret pursuit of the Wu family.

Afterwards, Chu Yan devoted himself to studying in Shengyun College for a year. One year later, he got the promotion task of the college, and went to the Lost Desert to get a piece of heavenly material and earthly treasure. Bring Wu Baishuang.

[The ice blade condensed by Wu Baishuang pierced through the chest of a fire cultivator. This proud son of the Wu family who could not go far due to illness did not choose to dig out the origin of Chu Yan's fire attribute, but just looked indifferent after completing the assassination left.The unicorn blood reshaped Chu Yan's heart, and after he was put to death and reborn, Chu Yan broke through to the peak of the heavenly level, and he was only a mile away from breaking through the holy realm. 】

"..."

When Wu Baishuang thought of this, his thoughts froze.The current development has long been deviated from the original plot by eighteen miles. Not to mention, the two protagonists who were supposed to stab each other in the plot have now—

Wu Baishuang looked down at the partner pattern on her wrist.

His mood eased a bit, and he was not so irritable about the original plot development.

But stabbing is already impossible, so how will Chu Yan break through to the peak of the heavenly level?

Wu Baishuang was in a daze for a moment because of this, and when she came back to her senses, Chu Yan was already standing on a branch not far away, waiting for him to follow and walk together.

Seeing this, Wu Baishuang temporarily let go of her worries about the future, and followed quickly.

"Are you tired from walking?" Chu Yan asked with concern.

"Not really. I was distracted thinking about going back to Yancheng." Wu Baishuang found a reason for himself.

"Don't worry, they shouldn't dare to mess around, unless there are bigger forces involved." Chu Yan reassured.

"..." A greater force...

Suddenly remembering that faction, Wu Baishuang opened his eyes, with obvious emotional fluctuations in his eyes, "Is there a church in the Lost Desert? What is the name of that church?"

"The Church of Light." After Chu Yan answered, he thought for a while, "But the Church of Light is far away from Yancheng, and its mission is only in the northwest of Yunguo, so it should not come to interfere with Yancheng's affairs."

"That's hard to say." Wu Baishuang muttered, "I think it's suspicious that the swamp has turned into yellow sand."

"...That's right, you can't go wrong if you're careful." Chu Yan followed Wu Baishuang's words.

Seeing Chu Yan's appearance of listening, Wu Baishuang continued to go back to Yancheng with him at ease.Originally, Wu Baishuang did not think of the Church of Light, because it is far away, and in the original plot, Chu Yan met the Church of Light after being stabbed in the Lost Desert. After approving Chu Yan's talent, he planned to use drugs to brainwash him to submit to the light.

The psychedelic mushroom and the yellow sand match well with this faction.

Just

Why is the Church of Light extending its hand so far?

Wu Baishuang didn't understand, and it wasn't explained in the original plot.It may be that he died too early, and he has no way of knowing the cause and effect of the whole thing.

Wu Baishuang and Chu Yan came out of the Luocao Swamp and returned to Yancheng.

The two of them traveled much faster than the teams of other forces in Yancheng, but they couldn't help but go half a day earlier than them. When night fell, there were not a few people who came back from Luocao Swamp.

Wu Baishuang changed her attire again, changed her obvious hair color to dark blue, then changed into a mask, mixed with Chu Yan among the crowd, and entered through the west gate.

The west gate is much smaller than the east gate, with only one gate open, and guards register their identities one by one at the gate.

I don't know if the news of the sudden death of the president of the pharmacist union has spread to Yancheng. The city is different.

"Shall we go back to the inn?" Wu Baishuang also lowered her voice and asked Chu Yan.

"Is there anything else left in the inn?" Chu Yan asked.

"No, I took them with me before I left." The storage space of the interspatial rings of the two of them is not small, and there is still room to store things after loading them. Moreover, there is no problem of not being able to fit a spare interspatial ring.

Chu Yan glanced up at the crowd at the end of the street, saw the robes those people were wearing, and said, "Then I won't go back, the Yancheng Inn has been surrounded by people from several major trade unions."

"Then shall we go to Zhegui mercenaries to find Mingyue?" Wu Baishuang asked.

"En." Chu Yan nodded. When they came to Yancheng, they had never been to the base camp of the ghost mercenary group.

Because of the accident in the Longlin Mountains, Ming Yue and Ming Qi of the Zhegui Mercenary Group swore to follow and serve Chu Yan. According to the law, the Zhegui Mercenary Group is also one of Chu Yan's forces.

However, Chu Yan was used to being alone before, and he didn't plan to join any force or establish any force, so he didn't have much idea about Zhegui Mercenary Group. It has two people, Ming Qi and Ming Yue. Take care of it just fine.

The Zhegui mercenary group is located in the south of Yancheng, and the headquarters chose to be stationed opposite the mercenary union. The buildings are all black and white, which looks serious and makes people feel inexplicable at night.The logo of Zhegui Mercenary Corps was engraved in front of the gate, and the mercenaries guarding the gate were all at the prefectural level, and they all stared at the people coming and going on the street with serious faces.

Especially when Chu Yan and Wu Baishuang were about to move closer to the gate of Zhegui Mercenary Group, those gazes all looked over.

If this is a person who can hardly resist the pressure in his heart, maybe he will stop when he wants to watch like this.

But Wu Baishuang has experienced too many gazes since she was a child, and she didn't take such gazes into her heart.

The gatekeeper mercenary who was closest to Wu Baishuang stopped them and said, "Your Excellencies, please stay here. This is the resting place for the ghost mercenary group. If you want to issue a reward task, please move forward." Go to the mercenary union headquarters across the street to issue missions."

"We're not here to issue a mission." After saying this, Chu Yan took out a token from the space ring, "We're here to find Mingyue."

The material of the identity card is unique, and it is generally only used when there is a major event in the ghost mercenary group.

The mercenary guarding the gate didn't know the identities of the two people in front of him, but after seeing the identity card in Chu Yan's hand, his attitude softened in an instant, and he said respectfully, "He's going to attend the meeting in Yancheng. At this time, the only person in charge in the base camp is the deputy head, Mr. Ming Qi. If you two don’t mind, you can go to the front hall to take a nap, and we will inform Mr. Ming Qi right away.”

"Okay, I'm sorry." Chu Yan nodded, not intending to directly identify himself and Wu Baishuang with the mercenaries of Zhegui Mercenary Group.

If possible, Chu Yan didn't want to expose himself as a matter of Ming Yue and Ming Qi's followers.He won't stay in Yunxi Continent for a long time, and the relationship with people in this continent won't last long either——Wu Baishuang was an exception, which made Chu Yan very entangled.Now Wu Baishuang will go forward with him, and Chu Yan's previous entanglements will be dissipated with the wind.

Wu Baishuang and Chu Yan sat down in the vestibule where the ghost mercenary group used to entertain guests. As soon as the hot tea and melon and fruit snacks were served, a figure in a hurry walked in from the gate of the vestibule.

"I didn't expect the two adults to come to our place." Ming Qi's first words when they met were honorifics, which made the mercenaries who were still walking around in the front hall curious about the identities of Wu Baishuang and Chu Yan.

"You're welcome, it's just like chatting with you normally." Wu Baishuang reminded, secretly expressing that they didn't want to be too high-profile.

"Okay, I understand." Ming Qi nodded, suppressed the excitement in his heart, turned his head and told the mercenary guarding the door, "Hurry up and prepare some good food and drinks."

After the surrounding mercenaries dispersed, Wu Baishuang set up a soundproof barrier around the three of them.

Wu Baishuang explained their reason for coming, "We came here today because we need to ask you for something. There are too many people at the Yancheng Inn, and it is inconvenient to stay. So come over to Zhagui to see if there are any more places to stay."

"Yes, yes." Ming Qi responded immediately, "I'll send someone to clean up the two courtyards right away."

"One room is enough." Chu Yan interrupted Ming Qi's self-assertion.

Ming Qi was taken aback for a moment, but his thoughts were meticulous, and he quickly figured out the reason, following Chu Yan's words, and said, "Okay, I'll send someone to clean up a room right now."

"Well, speaking of it, there should be a lot of turmoil in Yancheng due to the fall of President Liu of the Pharmacists' Union this time. There is nothing serious about the ghost mercenary group, right?" Chu Yan rarely cared about the development of the ghost mercenary group. Come.

As soon as we talked about the construction of the mercenary group, Ming Qi's eyes lit up slightly, "Thanks to the two adults, the loss of the Zhegui mercenary group in that chaos was very small, and the injured brothers have arranged for doctors to treat them." , no casualties."

"It's fine if nothing happens." Wu Baishuang expressed satisfaction with the result.

"But the other forces are indeed fluctuating greatly. My brother went to the meeting in Yancheng, and he will be back later. At that time, he can tell the two adults about the specific changes in Yancheng."

After Ming Qi finished speaking, he couldn't help but start guessing, "If there is no accident, Yancheng should reshuffle the cards this time. There is no president of the Pharmacist Union, and the loss in that chaos is not small. It is the last of the four major guilds. In this way, our mercenary union can snatch the west city gate originally controlled by the pharmacist guild and rebuild the six gates, so that the mercenary brothers can enter and exit missions more easily. The pharmacist guild was too picky."

Wu Baishuang thought, "The president of the pharmacists' union should be replaced by someone else, right?" Such a large union, and the one with the most contacts, wouldn't be unprepared for any emergency measures.

"Yes, but the pharmacists' union has been inactive for the past few years. After the death of Master Luo Weiyu, the pharmacists' union has no master alchemist who can refine twelve-star potions. The new president who succeeds must not be very good." Ming Ming Qi's tone was light and breezy. In the past, people from the Pharmacist's Union watched the fire from the other side. They watched the mercenary union's internal struggles with cold eyes.

Hearing the somewhat familiar name, Chu Yan couldn't help asking, "Luo Weiyu? There is a master of alchemy in Shengyun College named Luo Weize."

Ming Qi explained, "They are blood relatives, but since Luo Weiyu's death, Luo Weize has cut off contact with the members of the Pharmacist Union, and now he is a tutor in Shengyun College."

"No wonder." Chu Yan nodded thoughtfully.

No wonder the master craftsman Mo Jiuzhong asked them to go to Shengyun College to find Luo Weize, presumably that master of medicine was not willing to return to the pharmacists union in Yancheng.

While they were chatting, the food and drinks that Ming Qi had ordered earlier had been prepared, and there was good news that Ming Yue had returned from the meeting of the major powers in Yancheng.

Several people moved to the dining table.

According to the rules, as followers, Ming Qi and Ming Yue cannot eat at the same table with Wu Baishuang and Chu Yan.

"So pay attention to what to do, this rule is not set by the law of heaven." Wu Baishuang waved his hand, "Everyone comes to eat, and there are more people and it is more lively. We don't pay so much attention to rough people."

"..." After he finished speaking, almost everyone present gave him a glance at the same time.

It's okay for others to be rough, but Wu Baishuang, who was raised in a big family since childhood, behaved according to the etiquette of aristocratic families.How could it be rough.

Sensing the gazes of other people, Wu Baishuang said frankly, "Look at what I am doing? Even if I was born in Wu's family, I basically ate medicinal food alone, and rarely with other people, until I came out of the house..."

Wu Baishuang's words paused, "Let's eat together, don't we have serving chopsticks here. It's also very good to talk about things while eating."

Chu Yan also nodded, "Yes."

Hearing what the two of them said, Ming Yue and Ming Qi looked at each other and sat down at the dinner table.Mercenaries also like to talk about things while eating, so the atmosphere will be much more relaxed and lively.But the young masters of the big family practice not talking when eating or sleeping.

Mingyue: "These are special dishes in Yancheng, you two adults can try them."

"Well, good." Chu Yan responded, selected a few good-looking dishes, and put them in Wu Baishuang's bowl.

"Continue to talk about the pharmacist's union. Before the meeting, I thought that the pharmacist's union should not be able to cause any trouble, but they said that they can only make decisions after the new president returns." Mingyue said.

"The new president hasn't come back yet?" Ming Qi was surprised, "Their autumn hunting day is such a big event, is there any important person who is not in the Pharmacists' Union?"

"Yes, so the meeting ended. Looking at the pharmacist union, it seems that they don't care much about the death of the original president Liu, and their attitude is a bit strange." Mingyue explained.

Wu Baishuang muttered, "Then President Liu is really not very pleasing to people." He is not good at all, and he has a vitriolic mouth, which probably offended many people in the pharmacist union.

"Yes, but some pharmacists who are friends with President Liu have the same attitude." Mingyue added.

Chu Yan said, "There is something strange about it. When the new president of the pharmacists union arrives, just write to us and let us know."

Hearing the implication in Chu Yan's words, Ming Yue returned to the divine way, "Are the two adults planning to leave Yancheng?"

Chu Yan: "Well, we will leave in about four days." Four days later happened to be the date we had previously agreed with Mo Jiuzhong, the master craftsman of the craftsmen's union. left.

"In the next four days, it is estimated that the new president of the pharmacist union will also come." Mingyue thought.

"I'll take a look at that time." Chu Yan didn't want to join in the excitement of other people's power reshuffle, so he changed the topic to Yancheng's trading center, "Is the auction here in Yancheng still going on?"

After the autumn hunting day, in order to facilitate the trading of adventurers who obtained natural materials and earth treasures in the Luocao swamp, according to the usual practice, the trading center in Yancheng will hold an auction.

But this time the autumn hunting day ended in less than three days, and it was difficult to guarantee whether the original auction would continue normally.

"Of course we still have to do it. Even if we didn't get many treasures from the Luocao Swamp, the autumn hunting day in Yancheng itself attracted a lot of foreign practitioners. With the background of the four major guilds, there are also potions and refining works. , domesticated monsters, and other mercenary treasures obtained before, can be traded with foreign practitioners normally." Mingyue replied.

Chu Yan: "Then let's go to the trading center tomorrow to see when the auction will be held?"

Mingyue: "It will be held after a day's rest today, probably tomorrow night."

"..."

After eating and chatting about things, Wu Baishuang and Chu Yan stayed at the site of Zhegui Mercenary Group.The courtyard Ming Qi arranged for them was very clean, and there was a small pond in the courtyard, which looked quite beautiful.

Wu Baishuang's eyes lit up when he saw Chi Bo. This pool reminded him of the first time he met Chu Yan. At that time, he just wanted to find a place to take a hot bath, but he didn't expect to bump into Chu Yan who was hunting.

Speaking of which, he hasn't taken a bath for a long time.

Wu Baishuang rubbed her hands, and began to rummage through her space ring, whether there was a large wooden barrel for bathing.After all, this is a place to stay. It is inappropriate to bathe in a lake. If there is a big wooden barrel, then——

"..." After looking through the space ring, the smile on Wu Baishuang's face faded.

There are many objects in his interspatial ring, but none of them can hold him.

At this moment, Chu Yan, who had already walked to the front, pushed open the door, and a gust of hot air rushed towards his face immediately, bringing with it the familiar feeling of Wu Baishuang.

Chu Yan sized it up and said, "This room seems to have a hot spring pool inside, so..." Only when the door is opened will there be heat.

"So we can take a hot bath at night, right!!" Wu Baishuang rushed in with great interest.
