In the dark night, stars adorned the sky, and a brilliant silver moon hung high above.
Amid the dark night, a faint light and a spark of life illuminated the surroundings.
All of this was as enchanting as a fairyland.
However, what was even more beautiful than a fairyland was the girl in front of him.
Ye Qin gazed at the person in front of him, and his heart was brimming with emotions, his eyes fixated solely on her.
His heart was full of her; there was only one person in his eyes.
“Is it beautiful?” Huang Quan asked him, smiling, as she looked at the starry night.
“Beautiful,” Ye Qin nodded. “But in my eyes, you are the most beautiful.”
Huang Quan: “…Don’t always sweet-talk me like this; I might not be able to handle it, but…”
“That’s only natural.” While playfully complaining, Huang Quan couldn’t resist being a bit narcissistic: “I am indeed very good-looking.”
“Yeah,” Ye Qin replied softly. “Peerless beauty.”
Huang Quan: …She is certainly good-looking and thick-skinned enough to accept compliments, but why is her heart racing now? Her face feels warm…
While Huang Quan glanced at the Boneflower, Ye Qin couldn’t take his eyes off her.
The scenery was breathtaking, but at this very moment, his heart was racing, and he could only think of one person. Who cares about the beautiful surroundings? So, in a way, Huang Quan’s magic had not worked as intended, but…
The outcome was quite pleasing!
The specks of light in the courtyard began to gather and flew toward the Boneflower.
The Boneflower that Huang Quan had purchased was originally a hundred years old, and she hoped to age it to a thousand years. Therefore, the tiny lights danced around for half the night, until the sky began to lighten, and the specks of light in the courtyard faded away.
The light spots vanished, but the Boneflower in Huang Quan’s hand shone like a radiant red sun, dazzling.
“It’s done.” Huang Quan cheerfully placed the Boneflower in front of Ye Qin, pointing to the resplendent flower. “This is a thousand-year-old Boneflower, and each petal can be used to refine an elixir. Look at these petals; they are so plentiful!”
Ye Qin observed the flowers before him and nodded. “There are indeed many.”
Huang Quan continued excitedly, “It takes a hundred-year-old Boneflower to refine one elixir. We spent three million to purchase the Boneflower, and this one alone could produce at least fifty elixirs. If we sell each pill for one million, fifty pills would amount to fifty million. Subtracting the three million we spent on the flowers, we would make a net profit of forty-seven million.”
“Am I amazing?”
“Absolutely,” Ye Qin praised her. He then stood up, gazing at her, and asked, “You’ve expended a great deal of life energy. Do you feel any discomfort?”
Huang Quan reassured him, “No, don’t worry. I’m fine. Something won’t happen.”
Hearing her assurance, he felt relieved. “You’ve worked hard for most of the night. Go rest. When you’re well-rested, you can refine more elixirs.”
“Sure,” Huang Quan agreed, nodding. “I’m going to take a rest, and you should as well.”
“Hmm.”
Huang Quan headed off with the Boneflower.
Ye Qin watched her go until she was out of sight, and once she had disappeared, he stood up and made his way to his room.
While passing by the large tree in the courtyard, Ye Qin stopped and gazed at it. After inspecting it, he felt a bit astonished.
The tree was even more massive than before. He wondered what Huang Quan would say when Nangong Mian returned.
Ye Qin smiled, shaking his head, and then proceeded.
5 days later
Huang Quan emerged after five days of seclusion.
Ye Qin had been waiting outside during the day, and as he saw her come out, he hurried over.
“I’ve finished my cultivation,” Huang Quan exclaimed, running up to embrace Ye Qin. “We’ve made fifty million.”
Ye Qin didn’t anticipate her hug; he was briefly surprised but quickly regained his composure. He held her tightly, saying gently, “Congratulations, Quanquan.”
