"You are courting death, brat!" the blonde youth couldn't stand Han Shuo's provocation and was about to tear down the store.
"Eimon!" Jiya shouted, "This store is next to the House of Sainte. You aren't really looking for trouble, are you?"
The blonde youth stared blankly for a moment after hearing Jiya's shout. He sized up Han Shuo suspiciously and said, "This store is next to the House of Sainte but it doesn't necessarily belong to the House of Sainte. This brat is obviously a newcomer. Why should I be afraid of him?"
Jiya didn't think so. When she saw that Han Shuo didn't show the slightest trace of fear on his face, she felt that Han Shuo wasn't that simple. Seeing that Eimon wasn't listening to her advice, Jiya hastily distanced herself and said, "Do as you wish. But if anything happens, I won't interfere!"
"Don't worry, what could possibly happen? Haha, do you think I can't handle this brat? "Eimon insolently reached for the first cabinet. It seemed that he had made up his mind.
"Stop!" Suddenly, an untimely shout came from outside. In a flash, the green-haired youth Anito who had previously detained Han Shuo entered the Celestial Secret Pharmacy with a team of divine guards under Erebus.
After entering, Anito first greeted Han Shuo in a friendly manner. Shortly after, he gazed at Eimon with cold eyes and asked, "Young Master Eimon, what are you doing here?"
Anito, who had almost destroyed the cabinet, did not expect that divine guards from the Third Corps would suddenly appear at such a critical moment. After staring blankly for a moment, he forced a smile and replied, "Nothing much, just looking around!"
"The City of Shadows has its own rules. Even large family clans are not allowed to take advantage of their power to bully others. I hope that all of you know your limits and don't make things difficult for us!" Anito looked at Eammon in displeasure and reprimanded righteously.
"Why would I?" Eimon put on a fawning smile and repeatedly said that he was only here to look at the goods.
"I hope so!" Anito nodded. Shortly after, he turned to Han Shuo and said smilingly, "We are not far away. If anything happens to the store, just give us a shout." After finishing those words, Anito coldly swept a glance at Eimon, bowed slightly to Jiya, and left the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy with that group of divine guards.
Anito was a squad leader of the Third Corps of Divine Guards under Erebus. He could also be considered as a member of the House of Sainte. He was aware of the friendly relationship between Han Shuo and Carmelita. Fearing that Han Shuo would hold a grudge for what had happened in the past, Anito had made a special trip to apologize. Even though Han Shuo had said that it was fine, Anito was still rather uneasy. Recently, he had taken the liberty of leading a team of divine guards to watch over this place.
Han Shuo knew that Annette was nearby and understood that Annette was trying to curry favor with him. That was why he was not afraid of Eammon's threat at all. As expected, Annette had indeed "coincidentally" arrived at the critical moment.
"Consider yourself lucky, kid. But you won't be so lucky forever!" After Annette left, Eimon said hatefully.
"If you don't want to sell anything, then leave. Don't hinder me!" Han Shuo wouldn't be courteous to Anito. He once again chased Anito out.
Anito knew that he wouldn't be able to do anything to Han Shuo today. After glaring fiercely at Han Shuo a few times, he was the first to retreat into the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy. Those friends of his also followed him out.
However, Jiya did not leave immediately. Instead, she looked at Han Shuo with great interest. She was much more observant than Eimon. From Anito's performance and Han Shuo's calmness and composure, Jiya had a feeling that Han Shuo was not as simple as he seemed. Initially, she was just casually strolling around. But at this moment, due to the doubts in her heart, she had an idea.
After casually strolling around the first floor for a while, Jiya pointed at a bottle of Pills of Tranquility that cost five hundred black crystal coins. She smilingly said to Han Shuo, "Give me a bottle of this medicine!"
"Miss Jiya, why, why would you believe this guy? That's five hundred black crystal coins we're talking about! Why doesn't he just go rob a bank? " Those few youngsters who had yet to leave the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy immediately started persuading Jiya when they saw her action.
Han Shuo looked at Jiya in a slightly astonished manner. He finally stood up from his chair and walked to Jiya. Han Shuo opened the boundary on the cabinet, took out a bottle of Pills of Tranquility, and calmly handed it to Jiya. He said, "The instructions on the bottle are to be used when you are comprehending the essence of energy. You will get the greatest effect."
"Here are five hundred black crystal coins. Please keep them well!" Said Jiya smilingly as she took the bottle of medicine from Han Shuo. She then put the five hundred black crystal coins on the cabinet. She then gazed at Han Shuo with her bright eyes and smilingly said, "I will remember. Thank you!"
After saying those words, Jiya put on a sweet smile again. Her slender fingers twirled the exquisite medicine bottle as she walked away. When she was about to leave, she turned around to look at Han Shuo and said, "If it doesn't work, I will come back for you. Even if you are a member of the House of Sainte, if you dare to deceive me, I will not let you get away with it."
Han Shuo shrugged and put on an indifferent face. He thought to himself that the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy had gained yet another propagandist.
For the next few days, the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy still had no business. Han Shuo decided to close the shop and stay on the third floor to cultivate the essence of energy. He thought to himself that Carmelita would definitely help him after she had benefited from the medicine. By then, he wouldn't have to worry about not having enough customers.
Nearly half a year had passed since he left the Miasma Cloud Mountain Range. That avatar of Han Shuo's that had been cultivating the essence of the energy of destruction in the Cauldron of Myriad Demon had finally advanced to late-stage lowgod realm. Those divine essences of destruction that he obtained from the Cauldron of Myriad Demon were finally put to good use. Han Shuo once again began to absorb them.
While Han Shuo was cultivating in seclusion, the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy closed its doors. But little did he know that a storm was brewing in the City of Shadows regarding the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy.
… …
The Lavers Family.
Donna, who had spent a long time preparing for her trip to the Spacetime Fortress, finally returned from one of the fortresses under the Lavers Family. As soon as she returned to the Lavers Residence, she saw her younger sister Eve crying and complaining to her. The bruises on her face had yet to completely subside.
"Sister Donna, I, I was beaten by someone!" Eve cried as soon as she saw Donna return. Grief welled up in Eve's heart. Although Donna was usually very strict with her younger siblings, they knew that Donna loved them dearly. Unable to find anyone to confide in, Eve turned to Donna as a breakthrough point.
"What happened? Who beat you? Why didn't your father stand up for you?" Donna hastily asked when she saw Eve's appearance.
"Father forbade me from taking revenge. My brothers didn't stand up for me either. I, I was beaten for nothing!" Eve cried.
"Who did it? There aren't many people in the City of Shadows who would dare to beat you up like that. Could it be … those from the House of Sainte? " Donna furrowed her brows and said angrily, "Even the House of Sainte can't be so arrogant. I have some friendship with Carmelita. Tell me who it is and I will have Carmelita teach him a lesson!"
"It's … it's that friend you brought with you last time … I think … I think his name is Brian …" Eve said in a sobbing voice with an aggrieved face.
"Wha, what?" Donna was astonished. She softly cried out, "How is that possible? Even if Brian did it out of respect for me, he shouldn't have hurt you to this extent. Are you sure you aren't mistaken? " After hearing Eve's words, Donna faintly felt that something was amiss. She knew Han Shuo very well. She didn't think that Han Shuo would do such a thing.
"It's true! It's really him!" Eve shrieked, "My brother was there too. He can testify. And Teng Fei!"
"I'll go ask your brother!" Donna was filled with doubts. Soon, she found Cage who was sparring with Teng Fei in the gymnasium. Cage had a grudge against Han Shuo. Although he felt that Han Shuo might have good intentions, he simply didn't like Han Shuo and wanted to ruin the relationship between Han Shuo and Donna. When Donna asked him about it, Cage distorted the truth and told the whole story to Donna.
Originally, it was Han Shuo who saved Eve. But when Cage heard about it, he made it sound like Han Shuo was bullying Eve by taking advantage of his friendship with Carmelita. Cage didn't dare to accuse Carmelita of any wrongdoing, so he pushed all the blame onto Han Shuo. When those words came out of Cage's mouth, Han Shuo became an unforgivable, despicable, and unforgivable villain.
"Teng Fei, isn't that what happened?" Donna knew her sister-in-law's temperament and still couldn't believe it. She asked Teng Fei who was looking at her from the side. She thought that Teng Fei had nothing to do with this matter and would report the truth fairly.
Unfortunately, Teng Fei subconsciously thought of Han Shuo as a rival for Donna. Plus, he had a good relationship with Cage, so naturally he would help Cage. Under Donna's questioning, Teng Fei didn't say much and only nodded affirmatively.
Seeing that Teng Fei also confirmed it, Donna more or less believed it. Anger appeared on her face as she murmured softly, "I didn't expect him to be such a person! Because of a small matter in the gymnasium, he actually did such a thing to Eve. No matter what, Eve is still my sister. How could he not give me face … "Donna muttered to herself as she slowly walked out of the gymnasium.
Seeing the anger on Donna's face, Cage and Teng Fei exchanged meaningful glances. Immediately, the two were in a good mood and their battle strength seemed to have increased significantly.
On the other side, in the Kinson Family.
In a secret chamber in her boudoir, Jiya, who was carefully comprehending the power of fighting aura, suddenly woke up from her meditation. She waved the silver longsword in her hand and the entire room was filled with a dazzling radiance as if thousands of stars were shining at the same time. It was so dazzling that one couldn't open their eyes.
When the radiance faded, Jiya stood up with a smile on her face and carefully put away the longsword. Her bright eyes suddenly focused on a medicine bottle on the floor of the secret chamber. With a wave of her hand, the medicine bottle marked with the Pill of Tranquility fell into Jiya's palm. Her bright eyes were filled with surprise as she murmured, "Pill of Tranquility! What a miraculous medicine! It actually helped me increase my fighting aura condensation rate by another level. Five hundred black crystal coins is so worth it!"
Soon enough, Jiya walked out of the secret chamber and hastily arrived at a secluded courtyard. As soon as she entered, she shouted, "Mother, give me one hundred thousand black crystal coins. I need them urgently!"
Bess, the beautiful woman who was as beautiful as Jiya but with a slightly more mature charm, looked at Jiya in astonishment. She knitted her brows and reprimanded, "What have we been teaching you? Our House of Kinson is a prestigious family clan in the City of Shadows. You have to remember some basic etiquette …"
"Yes, mother. Quickly give me one hundred thousand black crystal coins. I really need them urgently!" Jiya pulled Bess's arm in a coquettish manner and yelled.
"One hundred thousand black crystal coins is not a small amount. It has to be recorded in the family accounts. You silly girl, I have given you so little pocket money. What exactly do you want? Tell me clearly," Bess said impatiently as she straightened Jiya's hair.
"It's like this. A new shop has just opened in the city. It's called the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy …" Jiya knew that her mother would not let her go if she did not explain clearly.
After a long while …
Bess cried out in surprise and said, "Is it really as miraculous as you said?"
"Of course, mother. Don't you trust your daughter? I have used it myself. I know very well how much that medicine has helped me. Really, five hundred black crystal coins is just too cheap! We have to buy it while the other family clans still don't trust that pharmacy. This is no longer just about the value of crystal coins … "Jiya said hastily.
"Come, I will go with you. I have nothing to do now anyway!" After hearing Jiya's words, Bess understood that if Jiya was telling the truth, those medicines could be an opportunity to improve the overall strength of the family clan. She immediately took out some crystal coins and left the House of Kinson with Jiya.
… …
Sainte Residence. On this day, Carmelita walked out of her gymnasium.
"Eh? Miss, your face, your face!" The plump woman, Karina, suddenly cried out in surprise when she saw Carmelita. She pointed at Carmelita with an expression of disbelief.
Carmelita's originally oddly colored and bumpy skin had become a lot fairer and smoother. This transformation made her look less ferocious and ferocious. Although she was still very ugly, her appearance was more acceptable than before.
"I know, I know …" Carmelita repeated those words incoherently. After taking a few steps, she took out a small mirror and looked at herself. Then, she raised her head and laughed delightfully.
"Miss Carmelita, you, you have changed a lot," the divine guards and maids exclaimed softly.
"Hey, you little girl, why do you seem to be different? Oh, you seem to have turned fairer! Ahh! How did you become fairer? How, how is this possible? "a few aunties exclaimed softly.
"Wahaha … Wahahaha … I am not dreaming, I am not dreaming …" Carmelita shrieked continuously as she ran out of the Sainte Residence.
Andre, who was handling family matters at the top of a building, was attracted by Carmelita's shouts. When he lowered his head to take a look, Andre's body trembled. His face was filled with shock as he said, "It … it actually worked!" Andre immediately put down the administrative matters in his hands and flew towards Carmelita.
… …
One day, Han Shuo who was cultivating in seclusion on the third floor of the gymnasium suddenly heard a commotion outside. He unfolded his consciousness and discovered that nearly a hundred people had gathered outside the Celestial Pearl Pharmacy. Those people were yelling, "Open the door! Open the door! We want to buy the divine medicine!"
