160: Foole that big idiot
Jiang Donghua walked in front, a cold sneer imperceptibly curving his lips.
Medicine People?
That phrase was just a lie he made up on the spur of the moment.
In the Medicine World, Medicine People did exist; some evil cultivation sects would raise people with special physiques, using their flesh and blood as a medicinal primer to refine sinister pills, but Red Silk and Bi Yao?
They were just two ordinary maids; where would they get any special bloodline?
And they hadn't been soaking in medicinal baths since childhood, so how could they be refined into Medicine People?
"Bai Xiaofeng, that idiot, really took the bait!"
Jiang Donghua sneered inwardly.
The reason he fabricated this lie was precisely because he knew Bai Xiaofeng was inherently suspicious and only had a rudimentary understanding of alchemy.
The ancient texts of Jia Nan Academy did indeed record legends of Medicine People; if Bai Xiaofeng were to investigate, he would only become more confused and, conversely, believe even more that they harbored some secret.
"This way, he won't suspect my true intentions for a while!"
Behind him, Red Silk and Bi Yao followed closely, but their minds were on a different calculation.
"We're very special?"
Bi Yao secretly lowered her head, looked at her snow-white wrist, then glanced at Red Silk's graceful figure, her eyes full of confusion.
"What exactly is different about us two?"
Red Silk also had a head full of questions, but soon, her thoughts turned in another direction.
"Who cares! Since Master Jiang wants us, then this is our chance!"
She gently bit her lip, a hint of allure flashing in her eyes, and subtly tugged at her collar, loosening the already low-cut neckline a few more points.
Bi Yao noticed her movement and immediately understood, twisting her waist slightly, her steps becoming even more alluring.
"No matter how powerful Master Jiang is, he is still a man after all."
The two exchanged glances, both seeing the same thought in the other's eyes.
The eighteen martial arts of the bedchamber were their best skill.
As long as they could satisfy Master Jiang tonight, perhaps they could leap from playthings to people of status!
Red Silk even began to calculate which of her best tricks she should display first to make Master Jiang unable to resist!
However, Jiang Donghua, who was walking ahead, suddenly stopped in front of a secluded courtyard.
He turned, his gaze calmly fixed on the two women.
Under the moonlight, his eyes were as deep as a pond, showing no trace of lust, only a chilling calm that made one's heart palpitate.
"We're here."
As soon as Red Silk and Bi Yao saw this Medicine Hut, their faces instantly turned pale!
This, wasn't this the residence of Jiang Donghua's Senior Sister, Red Silk?!
That Senior Sister Red Silk was a genuine Dou Ling Expert, with a fiery temper and ruthless methods; even Ninth Young Master Bai Xiaofeng usually didn't dare to provoke her easily.
And now, Jiang Donghua actually wanted to take the two of them inside?
What was this supposed to be?
Mistresses directly challenging the main wife at her doorstep?!
Red Silk's legs went weak, almost collapsing, her voice even taking on a crying tone.
"M-Master, we, we don't dare to go in!"
Bi Yao was even more terrified, her face losing all color, shaking her head desperately, her ample bosom swaying violently with her movements, the snow-white cleavage faintly visible under the moonlight, looking particularly alluring.
"Senior Sister Red Silk will kill us!"
Her voice trembled.
"She could flatten our heads into our chests with one slap!"
Jiang Donghua looked at their panicked expressions, his brow slightly furrowed, seemingly a little helpless.
"Who told you I was taking you in to serve someone?"
Red Silk and Bi Yao froze, tears still on their faces, but their expressions were stunned.
"Ah? Then, then why did Master bring us here?"
Jiang Donghua sighed, and said lightly.
"Senior Sister Red Silk is recently refining a pill that requires two medicinal primers as assistance."
"You two are the medicinal primers."
"Medicinal, medicinal primers?!"
The two women's eyes instantly widened, and various terrifying legends immediately flashed in their minds: flaying and drawing blood, digging out hearts and extracting marrow, refining medicine from living people!
"Master, spare our lives!!!"
They couldn't hold back anymore, dropping to their knees with a thud, kowtowing desperately, tears and snot flowing together; where was any of their previous charm and allure?
"We, we really don't taste good!"
"Right, right! Our flesh is coarse, and our blood stinks! We're not suitable for refining medicine at all!"
Jiang Donghua looked at their appearance, his lips twitching imperceptibly.
"Who said I wanted to eat you?"
He rubbed his temples, seemingly annoyed by their imagination.
"It's just that you need to cooperate with Senior Sister Red Silk, drip a few drops of blood by the alchemy furnace, and then circulate your Dou Qi to assist in controlling the fire, that's all."
"It won't cost you your lives."
Upon hearing this, Red Silk and Bi Yao's crying stopped abruptly, their pretty faces still streaked with tears, but their expressions had already solidified.
"Just, just like that?"
Jiang Donghua nodded.
"Just like that."
The two women exchanged glances, finally letting out a sigh of relief, but then they thought again.
"Wait! Then what Master said about the Medicine People in front of Ninth Young Master..."
A hint of playfulness flashed in Jiang Donghua's eyes, and he said lightly.
"I lied to him."
"Otherwise, how would he be willing to let you go?"
Red Silk and Bi Yao were completely stunned.
So they were scared half to death just now, only to end up being tools?
And, Jiang Donghua even played a trick on Ninth Young Master along the way?!
This man was too terrifying!
Just as they were in a daze, the door suddenly creaked open.
A cold and beautiful woman in red stood at the doorway, her gaze sweeping over them coldly.
"What are you dawdling for? Aren't you coming in?"
Senior Sister Red Silk!
The two women trembled all over and immediately scrambled inside, fearing that if they were a step too late, they would be flattened by a slap.
Jiang Donghua looked at their retreating figures, shook his head gently, and murmured to himself.
"I hope they don't faint from fright later."
The night was deep, and the shadows of the trees outside the house swayed, a few figures hidden in the dark silently retracted their senses.
"Heh, it seems Ninth Young Master was overthinking."
Mo Tianhen clicked his tongue, his Dou King level aura perfectly concealed, a hint of disdain flashing in his eyes.
"Master Jiang was just playing with him; how could he have any intention of betraying the Bai Family and defecting to the Yao Family?"
Yin Jiuxiao snorted coldly, also lowering his voice.
"Ninth Young Master is so suspicious, making us run around for nothing in the middle of the night."
The two exchanged glances and nodded in understanding.
"Since there's nothing, we'll take our leave first."
Mo Tianhen cupped his fists, speaking to Qin Wuye, who was still hidden in the shadows.
"Next, I'll trouble Ninth Elder to continue keeping watch."
Qin Wuye did not show himself, only giving a faint "hmm" as a response.
Mo Tianhen and Yin Jiuxiao said no more, their figures flashing, turning into two shadowy forms, silently disappearing into the night.
After the two left, Qin Wuye remained standing still, his gaze deeply fixed in the direction of the Medicine Hut.
"Was he really just playing with him?"
He murmured softly, a meaningful smile appearing on his lips.
"With Jiang Donghua's cunning, if he really wanted to hide something, how could he let us hear it so easily?"
"He deliberately fabricated the story of the Medicine People and intentionally put on this show in front of Ninth Young Master!"
"Heh, if Red Silk and Bi Yao were truly just ordinary maids, why would he go to such great lengths?"
A sharp glint flashed in Qin Wuye's eyes, and he had already made up his mind.
"These two women probably do have some special bloodline!"
"Jiang Donghua is so cautious, even going so far as to act and mislead everyone, clearly not wanting Ninth Young Master to discover their true value."
Thinking of this, Qin Wuye couldn't help but shake his head and smile wryly.
"A dignified Master Alchemist, for the sake of two women, has to go through such elaborate schemes!"
"It's really troublesome for this Master Jiang, who is so obsessed with alchemy!"
He stood with his hands behind his back, his gaze still fixed on the Medicine Hut, but his mind had already begun to calculate.
"If their special bloodline can truly be confirmed, then its value is not just as simple as refining medicine."
The night wind swept by, the tree shadows swayed, and Qin Wuye's figure gradually merged with the darkness.
"It's a pity that those two women have low cultivation; even if they can refine pills, it won't be of any use to themselves, at most, it would only reach a fourth-grade pill."
