82: Youtiao is a delicacy! It's too big to refuse.

The next morning.

When Ye An woke up, the sky outside was already bright.

Recalling last night, Ye An felt a piercing pain emanating from various parts of his body.

Ye An didn't even dare to count how many lashes he had received last night.

Enduring the severe pain, he tiptoed out of bed.

As soon as he reached the mirror, Ye An was stunned.

He saw a clear whip mark still on his face.

"This damn woman really went all out!"

"If it weren't for the fact that I earned a lot of merit points last night, I would've slapped her twice!"

Ye An cursed in his heart.

At the same time, he glanced at Liu Bairan, who was still sound asleep.

Infuriated, he turned and tiptoed towards the door.

Although he had received many lashes last night, Liu Bairan ultimately didn't kick him out.

This allowed Ye An to seize the opportunity and 'climb the mountain' a few more times.

He earned 200 merit points, so it wasn't a wasted trip.

It was just that these 200 merit points were too hard to earn; Ye An inwardly vowed never to come again.

He thought that if he spent this much effort on Qin Ruyan, he would probably earn more than 200 merit points!

...Pushing open the door.

Ye An saw Ye Yinger instructing several maids to carry food towards the room.

Remembering the injury on his face, Ye An quickly pulled out a black veil and put it on his face.

This way, Ye Yinger didn't see it.

"Husband, you're awake!"

Seeing Ye An, Ye Yinger also walked over with a smile.

Ye An nodded.

"What are you doing?"

"Oh, Xin Lian is not feeling well today, and Tonger is taking care of her, so I asked the maids to bring the food in!"

"Not feeling well?"

Ye An was stunned at her words, then understood what was going on.

He figured it was because he had been a bit too rough yesterday.

Ye Xinlian had only just had her Spiritual Root repaired yesterday; strictly speaking, she hadn't even started to Cultivate yet.

So her physical fitness naturally couldn't compare to Qin Ruyan's.

Thinking this, Ye An said.

"You should also help take care of her; just let Xin Lian rest more, and she'll be fine!"

"Yes!"

"Husband, aren't you eating breakfast with us?"

Ye Yinger asked.

Ye An quickly covered his face and said.

"Forget it, I'm going to the shop!"

"I'll eat on the way!"

After saying that, Ye An prepared to leave, and Ye Yinger also bowed.

However, just as Ye An walked two steps forward, Ye Yinger suddenly grabbed something.

This startled Ye An, and he quickly turned to look.

But upon seeing it, Ye An almost wished for a hole to crawl into out of embarrassment.

He saw that Ye Yinger was holding a fox tail!

And that fox tail was precisely the one Liu Bairan had given Ye An last night.

"Husband, what is this?"

"Why does it look a bit like a tail?"

Ye Yinger asked, looking confused.

Ye An's face was full of embarrassment, and he quickly took it, saying.

"This... you guessed correctly!"

"This is indeed a tail!"

"But it's not an ordinary tail; it's a scarf shaped like a tail!"

"Bai Ran gave it to me, fearing I'd catch a cold!"

"Well, I don't need it, so I'm giving it to you!"

After saying that, Ye An turned and fled, so embarrassed he almost dug out a three-bedroom, one-living-room apartment.

Ye Yinger had clearly never seen a fox scarf of this style, but since Ye An gave it to her, she accepted it and then returned to the room!

...Ye An was incredibly embarrassed.

He ran straight for the exit of Ye Manor.

Although he had never been to the Main Family's shop.

Ye Family Pass was only so big, so it was quick to ask for directions.

About twenty minutes later.

Ye An indeed found the Ye Family Main Branch's shop.

It was an imposing two-story building, and its location was excellent.

Perhaps because it had just opened in the morning, there weren't many customers inside at the moment.

As soon as Ye An entered, he ripped off the black veil from his face and shouted.

"Is anyone here? I need a bottle of medicine for promoting blood circulation and dispelling stasis!"

In a small place like Ye Family Pass.

There were very few specialized medical clinics; most shops selling Medicinal Pills also sold some trauma medicine.

And in a shop like the Ye Family Main Branch's, it was even more comprehensive.

In addition to Medicinal Pills and trauma medicine, Formations and Talismans were also sold.

After all, the Ye Family was the ruler of Ye Family Pass, so compared to other shops, the Ye Family's shop had a more complete selection of goods.

Hearing Ye An's shout, a maid quickly came out.

"Young Master, which kind of blood-activating... Ah!"

The maid hadn't finished her sentence when she was startled by the injury on Ye An's face.

But when she reacted and saw that the person was actually Young Master Ye, she couldn't help but freeze.

"I say, young lady, what's with you?"

"Living in Ye Family Pass, such a minor injury scares you like this?"

"I... mainly, no one usually gets injured on their face!"

"And you... never mind, I won't talk to you anymore!"

"Young Miss! Young Miss, come out quickly, Young Master Ye is here!"

The maid said and then ran inside.

Indeed, a moment later, Ye An saw.

Ye Mier running down from upstairs.

Ye An was just about to ask if there was any medicine, but who knew Ye Mier directly approached him, touched Ye An's face, and her eyes immediately turned red.

"Young Master Ye, how did you get this injury on your face?"

"The person who did this was too cruel!"

Ye An said awkwardly.

"Well, it was from eating something hot. Do you have any medicine here?"

"Burned by eating something?"

"What kind of food could burn you like this!"

"It's too heartbreaking. Quickly come with me to the second floor, and I'll apply the medicine for you!"

Ye Mier said, then pulled Ye An upstairs.

Ye An was still bewildered.

He thought, the injury is on my face, why are you feeling heartbroken?

Ye An casually said aloud.

"It was from eating fried dough sticks!"

"Fried dough sticks? What is that?"

Ye Mier clearly hadn't seen them before, and she asked while applying medicine to Ye An.

"It's a kind of delicacy, deep-fried!"

Ye An said casually.

Ye Mier didn't say anything more after hearing that, but instead focused on applying the medicine to Ye An.

Seeing this, Ye An finally breathed a sigh of relief and asked.

"By the way, the Ye Family Head must have told you, I want to come help out at the shop!"

Ye Mier quickly said.

"He did say so, I'm already prepared!"

"Young Master can come help anytime!"

"By the way, Young Master, since you can refine Fourth Grade Pills, you must also have considerable attainments in Formations and Talismans, right!"

"Although Mier has managed the shop for a long time, she has never been able to refine Fourth Grade Pills, so Mier wants to..."

"Hmm?"

Ye An looked at Ye Mier with a puzzled expression.

Ye Mier had just finished applying the medicine, so she quickly stood up and said seriously.

"Mier wants to become your disciple and learn Alchemy from you. What do you think?"

Ye An was stunned at her words.

"Become my disciple?"

"That absolutely won't do, I'm only a half-baked practitioner myself!"

"How can I be your Master? This is absolutely not possible!"

Ye An quickly said.

Good heavens, he was a Transmigrator who hadn't made a name for himself in this world yet, and she wanted him to take a disciple?

Ye An had no such intention.

Seeing Ye An directly refuse, Ye Mier became anxious and actually knelt down directly in front of Ye An.

She said with a wronged expression.

"Young Master Ye, Mier deeply knows her shortcomings, but Mier will work hard!"

"I only ask Young Master Ye to give Mier a chance, even if it's just to let Mier start by serving tea and pouring water, that would be acceptable!"

"I beg you, Young Master Ye!"

Ye Mier said, then bowed to Ye An, her head lowered, giving the impression that if Ye An didn't agree, she wouldn't get up.

Ye An also felt helpless in his heart and said.

"Young Miss Mier, it's really not that I won't agree!"

"It's just that I..."

Ye An hadn't finished his sentence when he saw Ye Mier slowly raise her head, her pair of watery big eyes looking at him pitifully.

The most fatal thing was that her tears had already slid down her cheeks to her neck.

Then, they continued to slide down her neck onto a patch of pure white skin.

Ye Mier was kneeling on the ground, and at that angle, that neckline, Ye An's heart didn't know where it had flown to.

"Young Master Ye? Can you?"

Ye Mier asked softly.

Ye An's eyes were unfocused, he swallowed, and said blankly.

"This... this is too big!"

"Ah! No! I mean!"

"Such sincerity from a young lady, Ye is truly overwhelmed!"

"I'll agree then!"
