Chapter 51: Something Potent
Shuddering, Xu Henshui swallowed his hatred and placed the herbs inside the medicinal cabinet. However, Ji Liuli still wasn’t satisfied and nodded at another empty cabinet.
The beautiful man produced a small but exquisite-looking box from his pocket next. It was covered in orchid patterns. When he removed the cover, Wei Yuan saw that it contained a couple of black, grain-like objects. He had no idea what kind of herb they were, but judging from the tremor affecting the corner of Xu Henshui’s mouth, they had to be far more valuable than they appeared.
Suddenly, the beautiful man turned around and glared at Ji Liuli. This was the first time Wei Yuan saw his face in full, and it was more gorgeous than most women’s faces. The man was fuming right now, but his expression only made him look even more attractive. He definitely resembled his Dao Foundation in this regard.
Xu Henshui gritted his teeth and growled, “Enough is enough!”
“What. Did. You. Just. Say. To. Me?”
Ji Liuli peeled off a petal every time she said a word. At the end, she pinched the stigma between her fingers and gave it a gentle twist[1].
“Ah~~~”
Xu Henshui turned limp and nearly collapsed to the floor. While grabbing the medicinal cabinet to support himself, he bit his bottom lip and said, “... You’re ruthless!”
When the beautiful man placed the black grains into the medicinal cabinet, Ji Liuli finally nodded in satisfaction and let go of the orchid. It instantly disappeared into thin air.
