“I’ll talk, I’ll talk, alright? Pretty girl, stop. Let’s talk!”

Gu Ying lost all of his image after being beaten up. If someone else treated him like this in the past, he would definitely be extremely furious, but for some reason, he was a bit more tolerant towards Lu Zijia.

Lu Zijia completely ignored Gu Ying’s begging. She only stopped her violent behavior after beating him enough.

“Talk. If you dare to talk nonsense again, I’ll directly poison you until you’re mute. Everything you say is nonsense anyway, so it’s better not to say anything.”

Lu Zijia said casually as she held the wooden stick with one hand, looking a bit lazy unconsciously.

Seeing Lu Zijia, who looked like a harmless university student and a quiet girl, Gu Ying not only felt pain all over his body, but also his organs.

Indeed, one should never judge a book by its cover!

Of course, what shocked Gu Ying the most was that Lu Zijia was much stronger than last time. Apparently, Lu Zijia made a breakthrough in her cultivation level in this short period of time.

“I actually want to buy pills from you.”

Gu Ying repressed the shock in his mind and told her his real purpose obediently.

“Buy pills from me?”

Lu Zijia raised her eyebrows and glanced over, as if she was trying to determine if what he said was true or not.

Gu Ying said he wanted to buy pills from her and not from the Mu family. Did he already know her identity as an alchemist?

But soon, Lu Zijia knew that she was wrong.

“That’s right. I want to buy pills from you.”

Gu Ying nodded and subconsciously wanted to make a cool move. However, as soon as he moved, he was so painful that he gritted his teeth. It was truly unpleasant.

Gu Ying gasped and continued after a while, “I received news that the branch of the Mu family in the capital has pills for sale. I saw that you came from the Mu family. You should have pills with you, right?

“I’ll double the price for all the pills you have. What do you think?

“Right, pretty girl, you still haven’t told me which force you’re from?”

When he was heading to the Mu family, Gu Ying had never thought that he would see Lu Zijia, whom he wanted to ask for pills, outside.

The moment Gu Ying saw Lu Zijia, he thought that even God was helping him. Otherwise, how could there be such a coincidence?

“No.”

Lu Zijia said coldly and left in a flash, not giving Gu Ying a chance to react at all.

The eldest daughter of the Gu family killed her man’s brother and sister-in-law. She would be stupid if she sold the pills to the members of the Gu family.

“Hey! Pretty girl, don’t go! If you’re not selling the pills, we can talk about something else!”

Seeing that Lu Zijia was about to disappear again, Gu Ying ignored the pain in his body and quickly wanted to catch up with her.

However, he had just started chasing after her when a wooden stick hit his chest fiercely without warning.

“Ahem, ahem…”

Gu Ying was hit in the chest by the wooden stick and he almost couldn’t breathe. He coughed for a while before stopping.

“Little demon, you’re as fierce as ever.”

Gu Ying clutched his burning chest and looked in the direction where Lu Zijia disappeared, looking determined.

…

“Hello? Director? How can I help you?”

Lu Zijia was drawing talismans at home as she answered the call from Luo Baode. She was multitasking, which made Taoist Mu Qing on the side dumbfounded.

As far as Taoist Mu Qing knew, whether she was drawing talismans or refining pills, she must not be disturbed.
