Chapter 81: Chapter 81 Punishment (1)_1

Yan Junyu’s words made Mo Yan unable to maintain her composure any longer. She had thought she was being careful, but it hadn’t taken long for the secret of the Spirit Spring Water to be discovered.

Initially, she was worried that the vegetables growing too quickly would arouse suspicion, so she dared not add too much Spirit Spring Water to the irrigation channels. Ordinary people eating vegetables watered with Spirit Spring Water would only notice that they tasted better, and although long-term consumption could purify their bodies, the effect wouldn’t be obvious enough to raise alarms.

But, in the end, she was too confident. Regardless of where the issue lay, if the person before her hadn’t witnessed it with his own eyes, he couldn’t possibly understand the effects of the Spirit Spring Water so thoroughly.

Fortunately, he only thought that the secret technique in her possession was similar to some sort of fertilizer for plants, without suspecting the existence of Space. This reassured her somewhat.

However, now that she had been discovered, there was no guarantee that a second or third person, or even more, wouldn’t find out. If this were to continue, she couldn’t assure that the secret of Space wouldn’t be revealed.

Even if they didn’t speculate that she possessed a Space, they might suspect she had some unnatural abilities. If someone with ulterior motives exploited that, she would inevitably be regarded as a demon by the world unless she ceased using everything from Space...

Having considered this, Mo Yan gradually calmed down. Facing Yan Junyu’s composed expression, she decided not to hide it any longer and frankly admitted, "Yes, I indeed have a secret technique, and I can give you the prepared elixir as long as you give me a promise."

With a "snap," Yan Junyu closed his Jade Bone Fan and stared at her intently, the oppressive aura in his starry eyes daunting.

"I want the secret technique!"

Mo Yan was not one to shrink back, her gaze as piercing as ever, leaving no room for negotiation, "I can only give you the elixir. Even if I were to give you the secret technique, you wouldn’t be able to prepare it. If you don’t believe me, there’s nothing I can do!"

In her previous life, her family sent Spirit Spring Water to a research institute, where numerous scientists studied it for a long time and only identified components similar to those of purified water; in reality, they were unable to replicate it.

Yan Junyu’s fox-like eyes fixed on Mo Yan. His smiling face remained unchanged, a sign to those who knew him well that he was truly angry.

Mo Yan looked at him calmly, an unusual seriousness and stubbornness on her face.

After a long standoff, it was Yan Junyu who compromised, uttering a word lightly:

"Speak!"

Mo Yan secretly breathed a sigh of relief, suppressing the urge to wipe her sweat and said, "As long as we are in Jing City, you must ensure the safety of my family from any threats, no matter what we do."

Upon hearing this, Yan Junyu’s half-mocking reply came, "You’ve got quite the nerve, girl! Do you think a bit of elixir is enough for me to agree to your demands?"

Mo Yan responded with a smile, her eyes shimmering brighter than the stars in the night sky, "If it were merely a fertilizer for growing vegetables, you certainly wouldn’t agree."

Yan Junyu’s heart stirred, admiration that even he didn’t notice flickering in his eyes, "Fine! As long as you don’t conspire against the state or commit treason, I will ensure the safety of your family!"

With that, he undid a piece of Ink Jade from his person and handed it to Mo Yan, "This Ink Jade is your proof. Should your family ever encounter trouble, you may take this to Duke Wu’an’s Mansion for assistance."

He then removed a dark green thumb ring from his little finger and said earnestly, "If you have an urgent problem, take this ring to Huixian Residence to find the Punishing Shopkeeper. If he’s not there, go straight to Bao Yue Lou, and help will be there for you."

Mo Yan was still reeling from the familiar term "Duke Wu’an’s Mansion," when she took the dark green thumb ring, feeling its residual warmth, which snapped her back to reality. She looked at him with wide eyes and asked, "Are you with Duke Wu’an’s Mansion?"
