Transmigration: Experiencing Life's End - Dying Peacefully in One's Sleep

Chapter 790 The Legend of the Dark River 15

"Spiritual energy? The spiritual energy of heaven and earth?" Upon hearing this, Su Changhe immediately grasped the key point in her words.

Feng Ling vaguely replied, "I guess so."

"It doesn't sound like something that can be easily refined. Five million taels isn't expensive, mainly because it's effective." Bai Hehuai put the pills back.

"Considering that Su Changhe has spent a lot of money today, including so many silver notes at my auction house, I'll treat you to dinner tonight."

"Really? Then how about this osmanthus cake?"

"Really, I've already had someone pack up and send you the osmanthus cake," Feng Ling said with a smile.

"That's great, thank you Feng Ling. We're able to have a good meal today thanks to Su Changhe."

"Thank you for your expense." Su Muyu and Su Zhe each patted Su Changhe on the shoulder.

Su Changhe smiled and said, "Hehehe, let's go. It's rare for Feng Ling to be so generous to me today."

"Am I usually stingy?"

"No, but you've been unusually generous and easy to talk to me today."

First, she agreed to go to the auction with him, then she was willing to make an exception and pay for him on credit, and even offered to treat him to a meal.

"Just assume I'm in a good mood."

Although she had many valuable things in her space and was used to seeing gold and silver treasures.

But having earned so much money in a day, and getting one step closer to completing the task, I was still in a good mood.

The group arrived at a famous restaurant in Tianqi City and ordered a table full of dishes.

While eating, Bai Hehuai suggested, "Feng Ling, if your Qingyun Inn sold wine and dishes, business might be even better."

Upon hearing this, Feng Ling thought of the many recipes she had collected in her space: "Your idea is good. I'll go back and modify the Qingyun Inn."

Hearing her say that, Bai Hehuai asked again, "Can your building change shape at will?"

"can."

"That's amazing! How did you do that?"

"It's probably related to the formation," Su Changhe said.

Feng Ling nodded: "Yes, it's related."

"This is the first time I've seen something like this. City Lord Feng is very powerful," Su Muyu said.

"So-so, eat up." Just so-so, third in the world.

After the meal, they all returned to Qingyun Inn to rest.

That day, Feng Ling was in a good mood as she watched the daily income of Qingyun Inn rise sharply after the addition of catering services.

"Master, someone has booked a private room in the restaurant downstairs and wants to see you," Liu Ying suddenly transmitted.

"who?"

"It is the eldest prince, Xiao Yong."

Now, four floors of the Qingyun Inn have been partitioned off to serve as a restaurant, with a lobby on the first floor and private rooms upstairs.

Feng Ling didn't think much of it and said directly, "I won't see him. Just convey my message that Qingyun City will not participate in any royal affairs."

The royals came to her simply to win her over and to get her to do their bidding, and also for her valuable possessions.

She doesn't want anything besides making money. Based on her abilities, even if she doesn't give people face when meeting them, smart people wouldn't dare to trip her up easily.

"Okay, master."

Liu Ying pondered to herself that she should try to be more tactful in her words later to avoid a lot of trouble.

Downstairs, Xiao Yong, who had ordered a table of food and wine and was waiting to see Feng Ling, was met with Liu Ying's polite refusal.

After everyone left, his expression was not good, feeling that the people of Qingyun City did not give him, a prince, any face.

But he hadn't considered doing anything against them.

After all, offending a sword immortal, and the items at the auction are unique to this place, makes it seem like it's not worth it.

A few days later, Feng Ling was reading a book by the French windows in the afternoon when she received a letter from Su Changhe, who said he wanted to see her.

Guests at Qingyun Inn can exchange access permissions if someone else wants to visit their companion's room.

If it's a last-minute visit, you'll need to ask the receptionist.

As soon as she agreed to visit, Su Changhe appeared in the room.

He looked different today; his face was pale, as if he had been injured.

"What's wrong with you?" Feng Ling asked, noticing that he went straight to a chair as soon as he entered the room, seemingly unwell.

"It's nothing, just a minor injury."

He had sustained a minor injury, so he made a special trip to her place, but she could tell at a glance that it was just a minor injury.

However, she didn't expose him and kindly asked, "Do you need some medicine?"

"Is that alright? I feel a little weak and might need you to help me take my medicine." Su Changhe smiled weakly.

Feng Ling was certain that his purpose was in saying that last sentence.

She used her sleeve to take out a bottle of pills from her spatial storage: "Open your mouth."

Then, with one hand, he opened the bottle, and a pill flew out and went directly into Su Changhe's mouth.

The pill melted instantly upon entering his mouth, and he only felt a faint fragrance as it entered his throat: "Isn't it a bit of a waste to use your internal energy to feed the medicine?"

“One of my Rejuvenation Pills could fetch at least a million taels of silver at auction.”

Su Changhe looked at her, his smile growing even brighter: "So... how am I supposed to repay you..."

Before she could finish speaking, a slender hand lifted her chin, and a fragrant, warm scent wafted towards her.

"Since you did it on purpose, then so be it." Feng Ling looked down at his face.

Looking at the person so close to him, Su Changhe deliberately said, "But, cough cough, although I have taken the pill, I was just injured, and I was afraid of disturbing your mood."

“I know my pills well, and your injuries have almost healed... but I don’t like to force people.”

After saying that, she let go of the person and returned to the chair by the window.

A look of surprise flashed in Su Changhe's eyes. He hadn't expected her to act so unpredictably; he had only been playing hard to get.

"Your medicine is very effective; my injuries are almost healed."

"I know. Now that you're healed, you should go back first," Feng Ling said calmly.

Su Changhe wanted to try again: "Won't you invite me to have another meal?"

"I'm not hungry yet. You're sick, so you should go back and rest more."

"Alright, then I'll go back." Su Changhe took a few steps.

Suddenly, he turned around and sat down next to Feng Ling: "Really, can't you let me, a patient, have a meal?"

“I can have the inn change the food in your room to a patient’s meal.” Feng Ling glanced at him.

"Patient meals? Are they specifically for patients?"

Su Changhe needed to think about what she said before he could understand its specific meaning.

"Yes, it's light and nutritious, suitable for patients."

"So that's special treatment for me, the only one of its kind?"

"You can think so."

"Then I'm leaving." Su Changhe stood up with a smile.

"Hmm." Feng Ling picked up a book from the side, preparing to continue reading.

*

A few days later, Su Changhe came to see Feng Ling again, bringing her wine and local delicacies from Tianqi City.

"I originally planned to go into seclusion in a few days, but after taking the Breakthrough Pill, I broke through directly."

Upon hearing this, Feng Ling glanced at his body and said, "Your current realm is half-step Divine Travel. Why don't you save it for breaking through to the Divine Travel Profound Realm?"
