Chapter 43: The Sequel to the Treasure Book
Chapter 43: The Sequel to the Treasure Book
Because Liu Mingyue was already young and beautiful, the changes weren't as obvious as those of Old Lady Liu, but she was still extremely happy to see her face becoming more and more beautiful.
Yang Mingyue practiced for a while, but then dared not practice anymore.
She lives in a special era, and beauty is not necessarily a good thing for her now.
Therefore, when she realized that the educated youth Li was looking at her face again, she simply gave up.
In fact, it was Li Zhiqing who was the first to notice the changes in Yang Mingyue.
Since Yang Mingyue got married, she hasn't had much contact with the other educated youth at the settlement. However, this educated youth, Li, is still unwilling to give up. Even though no one sent Yang Mingyue anything afterward, he still firmly believes that Yang Mingyue's family still cares about her.
However, Gao Xiaoling is currently clinging to him, while Yang Mingyue completely ignores him, so he cannot get close to Yang Mingyue for the time being and can only observe her silently every day.
As Li Zhiqing watched, he felt that Yang Mingyue was becoming more and more beautiful.
On one hand, Yang Mingyue practiced the Peach Blossom Manual, a technique that makes one's face as beautiful as a peach blossom. On the other hand, thanks to the milk powder given by Princess Mingyue, Yang Mingyue's previously depleted body was finally replenished, and her body began to develop again.
Therefore, she looks better than before. Others don't know this, they just envy Yang Mingyue and say that her married life is good, so she is in good condition.
Unlike Yang Mingyue's cautiousness, Wu Mingyue actually enjoyed this feeling.
Since she started practicing the mental cultivation technique, she felt that she had become more beautiful, and even her best friend Yu Cancan noticed it.
"Mingyue, why does your face look so fair and beautiful lately? Could it be that the zombie virus infection has this effect?"
No woman is immune to the desire for beauty, even in the apocalypse.
Because the sisters in the group have decided not to share the secrets of the manual for the time being, Wu Mingyue can only say that she is experimenting with a skincare formula.
"What's there to test! Can I even use it? Look at your face, the effect is amazing!" Yu Cancan thought her best friend had gotten her hands on a great face mask and she wanted to use it too.
"Sure, then try your best to find the medicinal herbs for me." The cultivation technique can't be passed on to outsiders, but the skincare recipe is fine, so she might as well arrange it for her good friend as well.
With Wu Mingyue as a model, Yu Cancan trusted her completely. So, whatever Wu Mingyue needed, the two of them would go looking for it, making the rest of the team wonder what was wrong with them.
"Mingyue, why do you need so many herbs? Are you feeling unwell again?" Actually, Lin Feng didn't believe what he was saying. Looking at Wu Mingyue's complexion these days, it was rosy and healthy.
However, the two of them had been collecting herbs lately, and sometimes they would even go out to search for them while their team was resting. This made Lin Feng wonder if Wu Mingyue's health was really not good.
Wu Mingyue hadn't expected Lin Feng to pay so much attention to them, so she could only bite the bullet and say that they were collecting herbs to make beauty and skincare formulas.
Lin Feng was speechless. He really couldn't understand it, but then he thought, could it be that Wu Mingyue was provoked by Bai Feng'er?
"Mingyue, everyone has their own strengths! You're great, no worse than anyone else!" After comforting her, Lin Feng left with his answer.
"No, what does the captain mean? I don't think I'm bad." Wu Mingyue and Yu Cancan were completely confused. Unable to figure it out, they simply stopped thinking about it and continued collecting herbs. Their prescription was almost complete.
With the answer Lin Feng brought back, everyone assumed that Bai Feng'er had provoked the two women, and they all acquiesced to their actions. Sometimes, they would even help the two women when they saw herbs. Li Long and Zhao Hu, in particular, felt that they had made a huge mistake back then.
This is truly a wonderful misunderstanding.
Having successfully married into a wealthy family, Li Mingyue naturally wanted to practice the "Peach Blossom Manual".
No woman can resist becoming more beautiful, but she had just taken out the Rejuvenation Pill, and practicing the Peach Blossom Manual would be too over-the-top.
She was just a peasant girl, and her instinct to seek advantage and avoid harm was still there, so she suppressed her desire to practice the mental cultivation technique.
"Miss Li, our young master is better now and wants to see you," Qin Da said to Li Mingyue.
Li Mingyue still looked like a young girl, and on the road of fleeing famine, she no longer cared about the separation between men and women. Under the worried eyes of her mother and sister, Li Mingyue went to the nobleman's carriage.
"So you're the girl who offered the medicine? Thank you so much! My illness can only be cured now!" Young Master Qin was still very curious about Li Mingyue, this young girl.
The moment he woke up, it all seemed like a conspiracy. What a coincidence that he had a high fever and someone just happened to have fever-reducing pills.
However, after Dr. Hu confirmed that the pills that Miss Li took out could not only reduce the high fever, but also clear away the remaining toxins in his body, and even make his wounds heal faster.
Qin Da also reported on Li Mingyue's actions along the way, and only then did Young Master Qin confirm that she was indeed not a spy.
But how could someone who looks like a peasant girl possess such miraculous pills?
Young Master Qin couldn't resist his curiosity and asked the question he wanted to ask.
Li Mingyue had already come up with a solution. She used the same words she had told her mother: an old woman had given it to her out of pity, but she hadn't expected the pill to be so effective.
Young Master Qin certainly didn't believe it, but they also couldn't prove that Li Mingyue was lying.
"Do you have any more of these pills? Don't worry, there's no need to worry about the price!" Young Master Qin acted as if he could afford them as long as you named the price.
Unfortunately, Li Mingyue is indeed gone.
She answered in the same way. Young Master Qin frowned, looked at Qin Da, and Qin Da nodded. Judging from his interrogation skills, this Miss Li was telling the truth.
Well, if it's gone, it's gone. Doctor Hu is right; it's good enough that he was able to save his life with this miraculous medicine.
Then he asked Li Mingyue what she wanted after saving his life.
"Young master, I want to be with you!" Li Mingyue said quickly.
Young Master Qin frowned upon hearing this. This woman was so delusional, thinking that she had saved his life and therefore wanted to cling to him.
Seeing that the important person hadn't spoken, Li Mingyue quickly explained.
"Young master, my mother, sisters, and I are fleeing famine. The four of us are very weak, and we are almost out of food. We beg you to give us a ride for a while. Once we reach Jiqing Prefecture, we will definitely repay your great kindness!"
In fact, Li Mingyue didn't know where they should go. She had only heard from the villagers that it would be best for them to go to Jiqing Prefecture, so Jiqing Prefecture should be a good place.
Qin Gongzi's people suddenly realized after hearing Li Mingyue's words that they had misunderstood her.
The servant, Wenmo, almost cursed out loud just now. How dare a peasant girl try to get close to his noble young master!
Qin Da and Doctor Hu also thought that Li Mingyue was really too bold to have such an idea.
Now everyone touched their noses sheepishly, realizing they had misunderstood.
"Jiqing Prefecture? That's a good place! We happen to be going that way, so why don't you and your family come with us? Wenmo, Qin Da, you two go and arrange for people to take good care of Miss Li and her family." Seeing that Li Mingyue was so sensible, Young Master Qin felt that taking her family along wouldn't be a problem; it would just mean adding a few more people's food.
After all, they were his saviors, so he could easily do this small thing. Once they arrived in Jiqing Prefecture, he would give them some money to settle down. Young Master Qin felt that he had repaid their kindness.
"Thank you so much, young master! You are such a kind person!" Li Mingyue was overjoyed to hear that the nobleman had granted her request.
With her benefactor by her side, she, her mother, and her sister no longer had to worry.
Li Mingyue happily ran to tell them the good news, but Young Master Qin was still wondering whether Li Mingyue still had the miracle drug. In the end, he was still unwilling to give up.
“Young master, I think Miss Li is telling the truth. If there really were more pills, she wouldn’t hide them, especially since she and her family are in dire straits!” Qin Dayi had seen it all along the way; the mother and her daughters were all being taken care of by Miss Li.
If Miss Li has anything else, she will definitely bring it to exchange with the young master.
Young Master Qin had no choice but to give up, but privately he still arranged for them to take good care of Miss Li's family.
