The next morning, the sun was just beginning to rise.
Qian Renxue had to deal with the political affairs of the Heaven Dou Empire and the military affairs of the Royal Knights, so she set off for the palace early in the morning.
Before leaving, she repeatedly instructed Meng Chen to stay in the Crown Prince’s residence to recuperate, and ordered the maids and guards to be at her beck and call.
Inside the room, Meng Chen sat cross-legged on a white jade couch, his blood and qi surging within him.
“call…”
Exhaling a breath of stale air, Meng Chen slowly opened his eyes.
At this moment, the first seal of qi and blood had been stabilized, and the immense power continuously tempered his muscles, bones, and skin.
Behind the first seal, the second seal is showing signs of loosening.
“According to the inherited memories, when the second seal of the Golden Dragon King is broken, the surge of blood and qi will multiply.
If the physical body is not strong enough, there is a high possibility that the violent power of the Dragon King will backfire and damage the meridians…”
Meng Chen rested his chin on his hand, pondering to himself.
Breaking through and enduring the second seal requires extremely rare and powerful body-tempering elixirs and tonifying medicines.
Although the Crown Prince’s residence was piled high with rare and precious herbs, Qian Renxue was meticulous.
If he were to ask for a large quantity of extremely potent body-tempering herbs all at once, it would inevitably arouse her suspicion.
“The best way is to find it yourself.”
Having made up his mind, Meng Chen jumped off the soft couch.
After changing into a light and understated yet exquisitely made white and gold brocade robe, Meng Chen, with his short legs, secretly slipped out of the Crown Prince’s residence, clutching a large handful of heavy gold soul coin cards that Qian Renxue had given him.
……
The bustling main commercial street of Tiandou City is filled with traffic and lively chatter.
However, a very eye-catching and strange scene has appeared on the streets today.
Whether they were ordinary laborers or elegantly dressed noble ladies, their gazes were almost simultaneously drawn to a small figure strolling leisurely in the middle of the street.
The little boy, who looked to be about five or six years old, had rosy lips and white teeth, fair skin, and a delicate, exquisitely sculpted face that exuded an innate nobility and charm.
What’s most outrageous, and what makes people most envious, is that at the top of his smooth, short black hair are a pair of fluffy rabbit ears that gleam with a faint warm golden luster!
As he walked, his adorable little rabbit ears swayed, and with his pure, big eyes, he looked just like a little rabbit who had wandered into the mortal world.
This instantly captured the hearts of countless young women and wives along the way!
“My goodness…whose young master is this?
He’s so adorable!”
“I really want to go up and hug him, and touch his little ears!”
“Waaaah, my husband, look at that little baby!
He’s so cute, he’s melting my heart!”
Feeling the intense gazes directed at him from all around, Meng Chen’s lips twitched slightly, and he couldn’t help but reach out and press down the uncontrollable golden rabbit ears on his head.
For some reason, perhaps due to the influence of the Golden Dragon King’s bloodline after the first seal was broken, the mutation of the martial soul became even more severe.
The rabbit ears, which could originally retract freely, can now only be retracted for short periods of time, and are exposed most of the time.
Now he’s really in trouble.
Meng Chen slipped away quickly, disappearing from the main road with his agile movements.
He then hurried through the bustling streets and arrived at Cixin Pharmacy.
“We’ve finally arrived.”
Meng Chen walked into the spacious hall of the pharmacy.
The hall was spacious and quiet, with rows of towering mahogany medicine cabinets arranged in an orderly fashion.
Several Ye family maids dressed in light blue dresses were quietly checking prescriptions in front of the counters, completely unaware of the “big customer” who had visited before.
Meanwhile, inside the pharmacy, two girls dressed in the uniforms of the Heaven Dou Royal Junior Soul Master Academy were having a small gathering at a private table.
One of them was about twelve years old, with a figure that was already showing the slender curves of a young girl.
She had short, neat, dark purple hair and a pair of eerie green eyes that shone with a hint of demonic and arrogant air.
She was Dugu Bo’s granddaughter, Dugu Yan.
The girl sitting opposite her was also around twelve years old, with a cascade of black hair and a thin black veil covering her face, revealing only a pair of bright eyes like autumn water.
She exuded a cold and lonely aura that kept strangers at bay.
She was Ye Lingling, the successor of the Nine Heart Begonia.
“Lingling, my grandpa insists that the snake venom in my body has been a bit agitated these past few days, and he forced me to come to your pharmacy to get ‘Ice Condensation Grass’ for a bath.
I’m practically marinated in it.”
Dugu Yan rested her chin on her hand, looking utterly bored.
Ye Lingling picked up her teacup, took a small sip, and spoke calmly in a cool voice.
“Grandpa Dugu is doing this for your own good.
The sooner the backlash from the Jade Phosphorus Snake venom is suppressed, the safer it will be.”
As they were talking, Dugu Yan’s emerald green eyes casually swept towards the doorway, and she suddenly froze, her voice abruptly stopping.
“Yanyan, what’s wrong?”
Ye Lingling looked in the direction of her gaze with a puzzled expression.
Even Ye Lingling, with her usual aloof and eccentric nature, couldn’t help but be stunned upon seeing this.
At the entrance of the pharmacy, a cute little boy, as beautiful as jade, walked in.
He was tilting his head slightly, carefully examining the expensive and rare herbal medicines on the medicine cabinet, his golden, fluffy rabbit ears twitching gently with his movements.
“Oh my god!”
Dugu Yan’s slightly arrogant expression instantly vanished, her eyes filled with stars, and she even couldn’t help but swallow.
“So…so cute…little boy!
Lingling, look at those ears on his head, are they real or fake?
They’re so fluffy…”
Although twelve-year-old Dugu Yan has a fiery and arrogant personality, she is still a little girl at heart and has absolutely no resistance to fluffy and incredibly cute things. Get faster updates on novelping(.)com.
Before Ye Lingling could stop her, Dugu Yan had already stood up abruptly and rushed directly to Meng Chen in three steps.
“Hey, little brother!”
A figure carrying a faint fragrance suddenly blocked Meng Chen’s path.
Meng Chen was startled and instinctively took half a step back, then looked up.
What came into view was a beautiful face that was slightly childish yet already quite heroic, with striking purple hair and deep green eyes that were staring at him intently, filled with fervor.
Not far behind her, another aloof young woman veiled in black slowly walked forward.
Although she did not speak, her beautiful eyes also fell on Meng Chen, revealing undisguised amazement and curiosity.
Are these two Dugu Yan and Ye Lingling?
Meng Chen’s heart stirred slightly, and he recognized the two well-known genius girls from the Heavenly Dou Empire at a glance.
Considering their age, they are only twelve years old and still look like young girls.
Before Meng Chen could even speak, Dugu Yan had already squatted down with her eyes shining, her gaze level with Meng Chen’s, and her hands rubbing together restlessly.
“Wow, your skin looks so good up close!
Little brother, what’s your name?
Are your ears a martial soul?
Can I…
touch them, sister?”
As she spoke, this hot girl had no sense of martial ethics at all.
Her wicked little hand had already landed on Meng Chen’s fluffy golden rabbit ears on his head with lightning speed!
“Hmm!”
Rabbit ears are naturally a sensitive area.
When the girl gently rubbed them with her cool, slender fingertips, Meng Chen involuntarily shuddered, his face instantly flushing slightly.
He quickly pulled away, somewhat embarrassed and angry.
“Hey!
Men and women shouldn’t touch each other like that, why are you touching me like that!”
“Pfft…”
Seeing Meng Chen covering his ears like a frightened little animal, with his cheeks puffed out in a cute but fierce way.
Not only did Dugu Yan laugh heartily, but even Ye Lingling, standing beside her, couldn’t help but smile slightly beneath her black veil.
“Okay, okay, it was my fault, I apologize to you.”
Dugu Yan withdrew her hand with a smile.
She tilted her head, curiously examining Meng Chen, then looked at the vast medicine hall, and asked in confusion.
“But little brother, why aren’t you with an adult…
What are you doing here at Cixin Pharmacy all by yourself?
Are you sick?
Or do you want to buy some medicine?”
