Chapter 266: Fighting over the Potions (2)
Seeing Lou Yu didn’t say anything, Zheng Xuan frowned, “My prince, so, say something.”
Lou Yu gave a hollow laugh, “I think what you said makes sense. Very reasonable. Maybe Yiyi is indicating you to prepare a lot of level seven and level eight star herbs as the betrothal gifts.”
Zheng Xuan pursed his lips, saying with a solemn tone, “I will never let Yiyi down. Oh right, my prince, what betrothal gifts did you send Mo Fei?”
Lou Yu, “…”
Mo Fei leaned over, looking at Mo Yi’s comment, frowning, “Yiyi, your words might already make Zheng Xuan think more.”
Mo Yi shrugged his shoulders, “Whatever! He is simple-minded. Even if he thinks more, I don’t think it would never be something nutritious.”
Mo Fei said disapprovingly, “That’s not necessarily true. Maybe suddenly he takes a tumble and comes up with something very nutritious.”
Alongside those high pile of star herbs was a stack of wicker baskets, nearly a hundred of them. And alongside those wicker baskets were scattered over a dozen of them, inside of which were filled with all empty bottles.
Seeing this scene, Mo Fei couldn’t help swallowing some saliva. So many? They really think highly of him!
At this time, One-eye walked to them with great excitement, “My crown princess, look what I have prepared for you. If you need anything, just let me know.”
Mo Fei gave him a look, squeezed out a smile and said, “Thank you. I think those are pretty enough.”
One-eye then nailed his burning eyes on Mo Fei, which made Mo Fei’s toes curl.
Then he forced a smile, “So, lieutenant general, is there anything else?”
One-eye laughed awkwardly, “My crown princess, are there any prepared potions here?”
Mo Fei was confused, “Didn’t I already offer you three whole wicker baskets of them?”
One-eye smiled helplessly, “Well, though I know you have refined a lot of them, you know, I got too many soldiers. Even three whole wicker baskets of them are far from enough. In a blink of eye, they were gone.”
Mo Fei slightly curled up his lips, “Far from enough? Come on! You got only a few soldiers of your dare-to-die troop, how is it possible it’s not enough?”
One-eye scratched his head awkwardly, “So, you knew it.”
Mo Fei hummed pompously and then walked into the lab. Mo Yi gave him a look and followed Mo Fei in.
Watching the door closed, One-eye scratched his head.
Then Scar jumped out from aside, “One-eye, how is it? Does the crown princess have any spare potions? The soldiers are waiting.”
One-eye gave him a stare, “Potions, potions! All you know is potions! It’s your bad idea of that d.a.m.n dare-to-die group that p.i.s.sed him off!”
Scar scratched his head and said with an innocent tone, “Yeah, it’s true I came up with the idea. But, you all agreed, didn’t you? Now something happened, you put the blame all on me?”
“Of course, who else should I blame then?” One-eye gave Scar his dagger eyes, as if he was going to swallow him alive.
It was he who had prepared the lab for Mo Fei, and it was he who had prepared those star herbs. And it was he who the crown princess had refined those potions for! But finally, it turned out the dare-to-die group were most of Scar’ people! And as they found those potions worked, they immediately robbed all of them!
And Scar the a.s.shole! Seeing his people robbed those potions, instead of stopping them, he even lent them a hand! The result was more than half of the three baskets of the potions were in Scar’s hands.
Scar gave him a silly laugh, saying with an earnest tone, “I know you have a problem that my soldiers got more of the potions. But you should know that is quite reasonable. More of my people were willing to die to try the potions. So they are the more brave ones. And they trust the crown princess most.”
Hearing Scar’ quibbling, One-eye only turned up his nose.
Scar didn’t say so before. One-eye thought the reason Scar’s soldiers volunteered was they totally took the potions as beverages and wanted to have a taste.
Scar patted on One-eye’s shoulder, saying with a righteous tone, “One-eye, you should know the crown princess is the champion of the Top Hundred Potion Compet.i.tion. Even Nalan Tianwu from the big Nalan family is not his rival. How could you ever doubt his ability? That’s really your fault. You know?”
“Don’t take this wrong. It is you who don’t trust him most before!” sulked One-eye.
Scar frowned, “One-eye, you can eat whatever you like, but you can’t say whatever you want. How is it possible I would doubt the crown princess’ abilities? I am a huge fan of him!”
One-eye looked at this shameless man before him and gave a cold snort.
Seeing One-eye’s angry expression, Scar smiled awkwardly, “Well, dude, how many potions will the crown princess make today? When they are sent to you, remember, give me a share. Anyway, we are best friends for so many years. You can’t forget about me.”
One-eye looked at Scar gloomily, giving a fake smile, “Don’t say that. You are so capable. How would you need my share? But I have something to ask you for. For the old times’ sake, spare my solders some soup while your soldiers have the meat.”
Scar scratched his head awkwardly, “Buddy, you are really making me embarra.s.sed.”
One-eye smiled, “It’s good you still know the word embarra.s.sed. I was just worried you have no feelings at all.”
Scar gave a hollow laugh, “How is that possible?”
