Chapter 38 Old Deng, send me money, I want to raise blondie.jpg
Faced with Wang Dong'er's strange question, Jiang Ci'an was used to it and casually replied:
"If it weren't something serious, I wouldn't have told you."
"That's true."
Wang Dong'er gave a light hum, reached out and took the cup, looking quite pleased with herself.
Suddenly I think this guy is actually pretty good?
Unconsciously thinking to herself, Wang Dong'er took a couple of small sips from her cup, but suddenly paused.
She felt a warm sensation spread from the tip of her tongue, seeping deep into her body, making her feel much better, as if her soul had been nourished.
Wang Dong'er's eyes lit up, and she couldn't resist. She tilted her head back, picked up the cup, and gulped down the supplement in several large mouthfuls.
His throat bobbed up and down, and the glass was soon emptied.
"ha--"
Wang Dong'er let out a long sigh, slammed the cup down, and licked the corner of her lips with her pink tongue, as if she still wanted more.
She turned her head to look at Jiang Ci'an, her blue-pink eyes sparkling.
"Any more? Another bottle, please!"
"If you think it's water, then have another bottle."
Jiang Ci'an glanced at Wang Dong'er with annoyance and casually explained:
"This is a mental supplement I just concocted to aid in my practice of 'Concentration Meditation.' It's still in the experimental stage, and I don't have much stock left."
That's not a lie.
This mental tonic is essentially a blend of various herbs that can nourish the mind. It has been personally tested and certified by Tang San, and its efficacy is currently acceptable, but there is still much room for improvement. The ingredients and proportions are still being adjusted.
Thanks to the knowledge he gained in his previous life and the influence he had from childhood in this life, he inexplicably had a talent for this, and it didn't take him much time to develop it.
Wang Dong'er paused slightly, then replied without hesitation, "Then can't we make more?"
"Sure, but you'll have to wait."
Jiang Ci'an took the cup beside her and slowly explained:
"Don't be fooled by the fact that you can finish this dose of mental supplement in just a few gulps; it takes quite a bit of medicinal herbs to make one dose."
"Acquiring medicinal herbs takes time because of the large quantities, and you also need to plan your finances."
"My training budget for this month is almost used up, so I'll adjust the funds next month to buy more."
"However, because of the large volume, we might be able to negotiate some discounts."
"Is that so...?"
Wang Dong'er murmured something under her breath, pursed her lips, and didn't say anything more, but silently made a mental note of it.
……
evening.
Dusk crept in from the west, turning the horizon a somber orange-red.
In the main hall of the pharmacy's backyard, after finishing her meal, Wang Dong'er stood up while wiping her mouth:
"I'll head back now, you guys enjoy your meal."
Xiao Xiao was sitting opposite her, still holding chopsticks in her hand. When she saw that Wang Dong'er had finished eating so quickly, she blinked, somewhat surprised.
"Aren't you staying here tonight?"
"Okay, not today."
Wang Dong'er said seriously, "I'm going back to find something, I'll come back tomorrow."
Xiao Xiao didn't ask any more questions, just nodded and continued eating.
Jiang Ci'an, who was standing to the side, didn't seem to care much.
Because Wang Dong'er frequented the pharmacy, they gradually became more and more familiar with each other, and eventually she even got a room there herself.
After all, the two houses are close by, only a minute or two's walk apart, so resting here is not a big deal.
Sometimes she would chat with Xiao Xiao until late at night, and they would even rest in the same room. This is probably why their relationship is getting better and better.
Of course, Wang Dong'er couldn't stay at the pharmacy forever, so every now and then she would go back to Daming and Erming's place, but there was no fixed routine, it all depended on her mood.
She's probably in a better mood today.
After Wang Dong'er left, Xiao Xiao finished her meal but didn't rest. Instead, she went to the training ground to practice the "Body Tempering Method" as usual, taking advantage of the fact that she had just finished her medicinal meal.
Jiang Ci'an returned to his room, sat upright on the bed as always, closed his eyes, meditated, entered the virtual world, and then sacrificed Xiao Wu.
……
the other side.
In the back hall of a shop specializing in selling various finely forged metals, Da Ming and Er Ming were holding a map of Shrek City, planning the location they would search for tomorrow.
They never forgot their purpose in coming to Shrek, and every day they would go out to search every inch of Shrek City, just to find the source of that special concealed field.
Unfortunately, to this day, they have still gained nothing.
As Da Ming and Er Ming were planning their grand opening, a quick glance revealed Wang Dong'er hurrying into the lobby.
"Dong'er is back?"
Erming was slightly surprised and was about to say something when he saw Wang Dong'er not even stop walking, and hurriedly said:
"Yes, yes, hello Uncle and Second Uncle, goodbye Uncle and Second Uncle!"
After saying that, the blue and pink figure hurriedly left the hall and headed towards the backyard.
"..."
Da Ming and Er Ming were silent for a moment, then looked at each other, put down what they were holding, and followed.
Upon arriving at Wang Dong'er's room, they found the door wide open, and Wang Dong'er was rummaging through drawers and cabinets inside.
The wardrobe door was open, the dressing table drawers were pulled out, and even the bedside drawers weren't spared.
Wang Dong'er knelt on the floor, half of her body reaching into the bottom drawer, rummaging through it.
Soon, she had a thick stack of cards in her hand.
Da Ming stood at the door and recognized the card in Wang Dong'er's hand.
Those are all Gold Soul Coin cards. Judging from them, they must be the allowance that he and Erming gave to Dong'er during this period.
After all, the environments are different.
Previously, in places on the mountain where money was not needed, Dong'er could simply give an order if she wanted something.
Now that we're in Shrek City, there are many places where we need money, so we can't skimp on Dong'er. What if she gets taken advantage of by some random guy?
So, he and Erming never stopped giving each other pocket money.
But what's going on now?
Da Ming watched as Wang Dong'er began counting the stack of gold soul coin cards in her hand and couldn't help but ask:
"Dong'er, why are you suddenly looking for Gold Soul Coins? Is there something you want to buy?"
"no."
Wang Dong'er shook her head without looking up, sorting the Gold Soul Coin cards by amount for easy counting while answering the question matter-of-factly.
"I was just planning to give this money to Jiang Ci'an."
Da Ming Er Ming: ? ? ?
If not wait, then who?!
Erming's expression changed instantly. He opened and closed his mouth, looking like he wanted to say something but hesitated, unsure of what to say.
He subconsciously looked at Da Ming, only to see that the usually composed Da Ming was also unsettled.
After a while, Da Ming recovered.
He took a deep breath, his expression returning to calm, and was about to ask what had happened.
However, Wang Dong'er suddenly seemed to remember something and abruptly raised her head.
Those blue and pink eyes looked at Da Ming and Er Ming with sparkling eyes, as if they had discovered some treasure, and their whole being became energetic.
"By the way, Uncle and Uncle, could you give me some gold soul coins too? I need to give them to that guy."
Da Ming Er Ming: ? ? ?
Da Ming was a little short of breath.
He slowly raised his hand to his forehead, but his head still ached inexplicably.
What exactly is going on?
