Chapter 494: Chapter 494 Who Is More Spoiled (2)_1

The faint scent of medicinal herbs lingered in her nose. Mo Yan’s nostrils twitched, finding the smell very familiar. Tilting her head in thought, she finally remembered how last year, when she went to the mountains in search of the Red Python and got injured by thorns, he had brought her a jar of ointment in the middle of the night—it was the same scent, wasn’t it?

Speaking of which, that ointment was truly extraordinary. The last time she was hurt, she had applied it twice and was left with only faint red spots. Knowing such an ointment was rare, she saved the remaining half of the jar in the Space for emergencies. The Space had a preserving function, so she wasn’t worried about the medicinal properties evaporating or expiring. This time, since she saw the wound wasn’t particularly serious, she decided to just rinse it with Spirit Spring Water and apply ordinary medicine to heal, even though it would take a bit longer. She didn’t use that jar of ointment.

Xiao Ruiyuan carefully smeared the ointment all over the wound, then found a clean white cloth and carefully wrapped it. He tested the tightness to make sure the bandaging wouldn’t affect the healing of the wound before asking again with a stern face, "What happened?"

Mo Yan stuck out her tongue and honestly recounted the cause of her injury. Then she saw the lingering tenderness and self-blame on Xiao Ruiyuan’s face and was momentarily at a loss.

Having gotten accustomed to his expressionless face and the emotions he rarely displayed, she felt a secret joy seeing such an expression on him now. But she couldn’t bear to let the moment last and reassured him, "This wound is nothing serious, it will heal in a few days, really!"

Xiao Ruiyuan gently held her hand, staring at the back of it without speaking, and she didn’t know if he had taken her words to heart.

Feeling the back of her hand heating up as if it were on fire, Mo Yan, unaccustomed to his intensity, quickly changed the subject, "The trip to the mountain yesterday was quite fruitful. I found a ginseng with quite a few years on it, but I’m not certain how old it is. Sit down, I’ll go get it for you."

Without waiting for Xiao Ruiyuan to respond, she hurried to the bedroom and didn’t forget to close the door behind her.

Xiao Ruiyuan’s eyes brightened, clearly looking forward to the aged ginseng that Mo Yan mentioned. Even if it wasn’t a Thousand-year Ginseng, her efforts moved him. But as he watched her left hand swinging while she walked, the hand he hadn’t withdrawn clenched tightly into a fist. Then, he casually loosened it as if nothing had happened, and nobody knew what went through his mind at that moment.

Mo Yan entered the Space and went over to the Spiritual Spring. She saw the dozens of ginseng plants she had transplanted the day before looking much greener, with their red flowers having produced seeds, which filled her with delight.

Now that these seeds were mature, they could be sown to grow into ginseng. Even though she had transplanted only a few ginseng plants into the Space yesterday, with these seeds, she would soon have a large ginseng field.

The two oldest ginseng plants closest to the Spiritual Spring had also changed. In addition to greener leaves and seeds, they had sprouted two tender leaves, showing vigorous vitality. Even if they hadn’t been transplanted into the Space, they still had room to grow.

She carefully dug up one of the plants, and Mo Yan examined it closely. Perhaps due to the nourishment of Spiritual Energy and Spirit Spring Water, the ginseng’s skin seemed smoother, and even without getting close, she could smell a faint ginseng scent.

Seeing some soil on it, Mo Yan gently wiped it clean, found a wooden box, and placed the ginseng inside before leaving the Space. If this ginseng wasn’t a thousand years old, she could plant it back in the Space to grow into a Thousand-year Ginseng. Once it had grown, she could bring it out, claiming she found another in the mountains, without raising suspicion.

Xiao Ruiyuan took the wooden box and placed it on the table to open it. Upon seeing the ginseng that had grown to resemble a human shape inside, his usually deep and still eyes revealed a clearly visible ripple of emotion.

Seeing his reaction, Mo Yan was filled with an odd sense of satisfaction, and her tone became much lighter, "Bro Xiao, can you tell how old it is? Is it a thousand years old?"
