Chapter 242 – How Long Can He Protect Her
The guards attempted to capture Huan Qing Yan under the oppressive glare of Bai Chen Feng. Huan Qing Yan used Shifting Phantom Steps again and evaded them.
Princess Wu You quickly tried to wear her veil again.
At the same time, the store owner of the general goods store had pulled back the box of Grey Spirit Worms, with an expression that was vaguely hiding anger, he said, “My lord, our little store suddenly does not wish to sell Grey Spirit Worms; I hope my lord and Princess Wu You can step aside.”
As he said so, the cover of the box holding the Grey Spirit Worms closed with a crisp sound before it was passed to a helper to be brought into the storage room.
Bai Chen Feng could not be bothered with Huan Qing Yan at this moment; he turned his head and said, “What’s the meaning of this? Why are you not selling to this prince?”
The elderly store owner was full of courteous smiles when he was serving Bai Chen Feng just a minute ago but it had all disappeared now as his face darkened, “My lord should know that this is a store owned by the Hou Family, right? Our current batch of Grey Spirit Worms were cultivated using the ashes of our Young Master Hou. It’s already enough that Young Master Hou had lost his life because of a promiscuous woman, now we are even offering that b*tch his ashes to use?”
The words were straight and sharp, bluntly hitting them on the face.
This caused Bai Chen Feng to be at a loss of words for the moment.
“This person here is Princess Wu You, a princess from outside our country; how can she be Huan Meng Yue? The Hou Family should not listen to the ill words of outsiders. What are you guys doing? Quickly apprehend Huan Qing Yan for spreading ill rumors, imprison her in the justice department to await judgement…”
When he turned his head, Huan Qing Yan had already disappeared into thin air; she had long used the agile movements of Shifting Phantom Steps to escape through the crowd!
Since Huan Qing Yan had already fulfilled her objective. If she were to stay, would she be able to hold up against Bai Chen Feng’s anger?
“Huan Qing Yan, how did you manage to guess that those Grey Spirit Worms were cultivated using Young Master Hou’s ashes?” the reincarnated girl asked.
“I did not guess at all. You told me that the store was the Hou Family’s business; with how the Hou Family hated that b*tch and Bai Chen Feng, they would never choose to sell things to their enemy. I did not expect that the Hou Family would be so vicious to use the ashes of their heir to cultivate Grey Spirit Worms. If that’s the case, Huan Meng Yue that b*tch would never get her hands on those Grey Spirit Worms now!”
This was the outcome she was looking for!
Huan Meng Yue wanted to eat Grey Spirit Worms to improve her spirit treasure? It was fine if she did not meet them, now that she did, would she allow her to obtain it easily? In her dreams!
“Huan Qing Yan, what will you do if Bai Chen Feng comes to catch you?” the reincarnated girl asked again.
“We will return to the Aged Consulate after we finished things here; if he has the power, he can try coming to the Aged Consulate to get me…” Huan Qing Yan was not afraid of Bai Chen Feng, she had the tiger skin called Ji Mo Ya to block him off.
However, she wondered how long this tiger skin would be able to fend off attacks for her?
She would think about it when the time comes – take things one step at a time.
“Then we should quickly return now; don’t go the the Huan Family’s restaurant, it’s highly possible that Bai Chen Feng would send his men to search for you over there.”
“I know. However, there’s no rush, we still have things to do.”
After Huan Qing Yan squeezed through the crowd, she used all her strength to run back to the general goods store owned by Old Yu where she bought the spirit plant seeds…
When Old Yu saw Huan Qing Yan returning, he received her with smiles, “Young Lady, what else do you need? It is fine if you do not have spirit stones, you can use those sweet potatoes to exchange for them…”
“Do you have Grey Spirit Worms?” Huan Qing Yan immediately enquired.
“Of course! Wait a second, I will go get them for you.” Grey Spirit Worms don’t sell cheap, so Old Yu was full of smiles when he retrieved a small wooden box from the back of the building.
