“Okay,” Huang Quan said. “Please lead the way.”
The shop assistant blushed slightly at Huang Quan’s demeanor and said, “Customer, please follow me.”
Ye Qin stood behind Huang Quan, his gaze falling on the shop assistant’s face, his expression becoming deep and somber.
The shop assistant didn’t notice Ye Qin’s gaze and warmly led the two of them to the second floor. It was only when they reached the second floor that the people downstairs finally came to their senses.
“That girl earlier was Miss Nangong, right?”
“The first beauty?”
“Yes.”
“No wonder she’s so beautiful. Is the person with her also from the Nangong family?”
“It’s possible. They both look so good.”
“But isn’t she considered a waste?”
“Why is she coming to the herbal medicine shop?”
“Don’t you know? She’s not only a waste, but she’s also like a medicine jar. She’s been taking medicine since she was little. Of course, she’s here to buy medicine.”
At the top of the second-floor stairs, Ye Qin stopped and turned to look at the people below who were discussing. His eyes were icy and cold.
“I told you,” Huang Quan stopped beside Ye Qin and looked at the people below. “Can you discuss quietly? Even a waste like me can hear everything.”
The few people who were talking hadn’t expected Huang Quan to hear them, let alone talk back to them. They looked somewhat embarrassed.
“I don’t like it when people speak ill of me. If you keep talking, I won’t be polite,” Huang Quan continued and then pulled Ye Qin forward.
The shop assistant, who had been waiting nearby, also heard their conversation. He felt both distressed for Huang Quan and helpless. He was just a shop assistant and couldn’t do much besides sympathize with a beautiful lady.
“Customer, this is the place,” the shop assistant said as he led Huang Quan to a room. He opened the door with a key and made a welcoming gesture. “The best herbs in our herbal medicine shop are kept inside.”
The room was filled with wooden shelves, each holding various containers for storing herbs. Huang Quan and Ye Qin entered the room and stopped in front of a wooden rack bearing Night Orchid Grass.
The herbs on the wooden rack were emerald green, with a hint of orchid-like color at the tips. In the dark, the orchid color shone like blue fireflies, giving the Night Orchid Grass its name.
Night Orchid Grass was used for crafting potions that could effectively remove scars.
Nangong Mian always got injured on his missions, and his body was covered in scars. After assessing the quality of Night Orchid Grass, Huang Quan turned to the shop assistant and said, “Please pack ten Night Orchid Grass for me.”
Each Night Orchid Grass cost one thousand coins, so ten of them added up to ten thousand coins, making it a substantial business. The shop assistant was delighted and quickly wrapped up the Night Orchid Grass.
While the shop assistant was packaging the herbs, Huang Quan also selected several other herbs and ordered ten of each. The shop assistant happily wrapped up everything and then led Huang Quan to the checkout counter.
“Customer, the total is eighty thousand coins,” the cashier inquired professionally. “Will you be paying with banknotes or a card?”
Yes, you heard it right, you can pay with a card on the Zhongzhou Continent!
Huang Quan took out her card but before she could hand it over, Ye Qin had already placed his card in front of the shop assistant. “I’ll pay.”
Huang Quan: “…”He sounds like a rich tycoon
The shop assistant took Ye Qin’s card, swiftly processed the payment, and then handed the card back with a smile. “If you need anything in the future, please consider our shop first. We also offer home delivery.”
Huang Quan: “…”
Okay first time EVER reading this genre on novel where you’re able to pay via CARD??!!!
