Chapter 406: Bewitching
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
At the thought of not seeing her cousin for a long time and not having him by her side, she couldn’t help but feel disappointed and sad. In addition, she was worried about her cousin and couldn’t help but want to cry. She also knew that it wasn’t good to rely on her cousin too much.
But she just wanted to rely on her cousin.
When her cousin was around, she wanted to stay by his side.
When her cousin was not by her side, she thought of her cousin.
Zhou Linghuai sighed softly. “I’m sorry!’
That day, the little girl had lost her temper because he was going to Shandong to quell the rebellion. Later on, she had calmly accepted it. In the past two days, he had been busy planning and studying the map of Shandong. The little girl seemed to be busy managing the household and studying.
However, he did not expect that to the little girl, war was a very cruel thing. Naturally, she would feel uneasy, panicked, and even afraid.
In the end, he was too rash. He should have told her in advance.
Yu Youyao pouted. “Cousin, why are you apologizing? I know that you’re a man and have many things to do. It’s impossible for you to stay in the inner residence and stay by my side forever. I blame you because I’m just not used to it for a moment. It’ll be fine in the future.”
Zhou Linghuai was speechless.
Yu Youyao forced herself to perk up and changed the topic. “Cousin is going to Shandong to calm the chaos. I’ve prepared some other things for him.”
Zhou Linghuai looked at the table. There was a large package on it.
Yu Youyao opened an oil paper bag, and there were dozens of Eight Treasures Cake neatly placed inside. “The army will set off from the capital. It’s about a ten-day journey to Shandong. It’s a long journey. The weather is hot, so
Cousin’s body definitely won’t be able to take it. I made the Eight Treasures Cake that Cousin likes. If you don’t have any appet.i.te on the way, eat one or two.”
The Eight Treasures Cake was not a rare item. It was sold in the Food Hall, so he could just find an excuse to bring it along.
As she had used the spiritual dew, the taste and effect were naturally better, and it was more to her cousin’s liking.
Seeing that the little girl had wrapped the Eight Treasures Cake and tied it with a thin rope, Zhou Linghuai felt a lump in his throat. “Okay!”
Yu Youyao took out a chubby round-bellied jade bottle. “This is the medicinal dew I made with the Lingxi Bug. When bathing, put a small drop into the water. It can relieve fatigue and strengthen your foundation.”
The Xie Residence had given her two Lingxi Bugs. She tried to feed them with spiritual dew. Both Lingxi Bugs were well-nourished, and the effect of the medicinal liquid was getting better.
She had made this medicinal dew herself. She had added the Lingxi Bug Liquid and spiritual dew.
Zhou Linghuai took the jade bottle and rubbed it gently with his fingers. “Okay!
Yu Youyao took out a smaller jade bottle with a complicated expression. “This is spiritual dew. Cousin, you can eat a small drop every day. It’s similar to the medicinal dew, but purer.” She hesitated for a moment and said softly, “It’s good for your body.”
She had also hesitated for a long time about whether to take out the spiritual dew.
However, the clan had many strange methods. Even if her cousin couldn’t come to the battlefield personally, it was easy to dodge in the open, but difficult to guard against in the dark. It was naturally good to have more life-saving items.
Zhou Linghuai noticed that when she mentioned the spiritual dew, her tone was a little vague. He knew that the spiritual dew was probably something extraordinary.
He gently opened the bottle’s seal, and a faint lotus fragrance immediately entered his nostrlis.
He was no stranger to this smell.
The medicinal cuisine, medicinal tea, and medicinal fragrance that he used were better because of this faint lotus fragrance.
The medicinal oil he had used also had this faint lotus fragrance and it could relieve the pain in his legs.
It was precisely because of this faint lotus fragrance that the Heaven Protection Pill he had taken had the possibility of recovery.
What was beneficial to his body was not the so-called medicinal cuisine, medicinal tea, medicinal fragrance, and medicinal oil, but the “spiritual dew” added.
He had guessed before that Yu Youyao probably had some suspicious methods.
Yu Youyao did not deliberately hide it from him, so he did not ask.
Zhou Linghuai’s eyes flickered. “Okay!”
After that, Yu Youyao opened another treasure box. There were more than ten jade boxes and jade bottles neatly placed inside. She introduced them one by one.
“This is the Musk Medicinal Fragrance Pill. If you faint, you can burn it to save your life.”
“This is the Ten Rescue Pill. It’s used to save lives when there’s a sudden emergency. It can be used for any emergency.”
“This is the Antidote Pill. It’s a prescription that Cousin helped me find previously. I made it myself. The effect should be very good.”
“This is a cold incense pill. It’s for heat poisoning…”
“This is a heat-repelling pill. Chew one when your body has too much heat. It can relieve the heat. Although Cousin is wearing cooling beads, this effect is faster just in case.”
“This is an incense pill. Cousin’s health isn’t good, and he has been living in the capital for a long time. When he arrives in Shandong, he will definitely not be used to the weather. If he feels unwell, he can eat it directly, or burn one every day in the incense burner to relieve all kinds of discomfort.”
“This is a calming incense pill. It can help you sleep at night.”
“This is an appetizing pill. It’s hot. Take one when your appet.i.te isn’t good.”
“This is insect repellent incense powder. Take some every day. It can prevent insects, snakes, mosquitoes, and flies from the door, windows, bed, or around your body.”
After a long journey, in order to make it easier to preserve, Yu Youyao had made incense pills with medicinal fragrances that could also be life-saving medicine. Not only could they be preserved for a longer time, but they were also not easily destroyed.
The little girl rambled on and finished introducing everything in the treasure box. Every word and sentence was filled with concern and sincerity for him. Her voice was gentle and sincere.
After giving her instructions, Yu Youyao was still worried. She added, “I stuffed a small note into each bottle. It also says how to use it, how much to use it, the symptoms, and so on. Cousin, look at the small note before you use it. You won’t use it wrongly. However, it doesn’t matter even if you use it wrongly. In any case, it’s useful for your body.”
With that, she looked up at her cousin—
Zhou Linghuai was looking at her. His deep eyes were like a bottomless vortex, as if they wanted to devour her mind.
Yu Youyao suddenly panicked. “Cousin?
Zhou Linghuai nodded and looked at her without blinking. A faint red color suddenly appeared at the corner of his long and narrow eyes, and a smile appeared on his pale lips. When his lips closed, there was a hint of red, revealing a demonic aura.
“Cousin!” He called out softly, and there was a hint of redness between his lips.
Yu Youyao couldn’t help but gasp. Her cousin was really good-looking.
Like jade and emeralds.
His appearance was unique.
In the past, she had only felt that her cousin was graceful, n.o.ble, and divine. However, it was only today that she realized that “unique beauty” was simply the best portrayal of her cousin.
“What did you say just now? Can you say it again?” Zhou Linghuai smiled slightly, and the tip of his tongue gently pressed against his lips. His beauty was bone-chilling and bewitching..
