Chapter 99: Chapter 79 Cui Yingying’s Request (10 consecutive updates 7)

Ning Xiaoxian was feeling rather troubled. As everyone else had entered the tents, it wouldn’t be polite for her to still hide on the cart with Bai Jing and Bai Hong. However, with so many people in such a small space, it didn’t take long for the strong odor of sweat and musk from the men to waft over. They had been traveling outside and couldn’t bathe at will like Ning Xiaoxian; besides, the rough men of the wilds paid little heed to such things. After over twenty days in the wilderness, their smell was almost unbearable.

If it were only she herself, she could simply hide inside God Demon Prison and the external world of rainwater would have nothing to do with her. But now, with around twenty people resting in a single tent, how could she disappear under everyone’s watchful eyes?

What mattered most was that the whistle had agreed to start teaching her kung fu from tonight, but this rain had caused a delay, so how could she learn now?! She only had a total of ten days, and the precious first day was already missed because of skipping class.

Right here and now, she was truly at a loss. As she hugged her knees in gloom, someone sat down beside her, and a faint scent of rouge and powder reached her nose. Cui Yingying!

"Mrs. Zhang." She greeted politely, taking the initiative to speak. It made sense, after all, not counting the dog raised by the clerk and the cockroach hiding in the goods, there were only two female creatures in the entire team. In such a crowded place, they were inevitably drawn together.

Cui Yingying scanned Ning Xiaoxian with her full eyes and then responded: "Sister Ning." This was the first time Ning Xiaoxian heard her speak, and her voice was not gentle but rather sharp. Today she wore a pink dress, emphasizing her slender waist and ample bosom. When she took a deep breath, her bust seemed ready to burst forth, no wonder the men kept turning their heads to look at her.

Ning Xiaoxian made a comparison with herself and felt a bit disheartened. Her own ’little white rabbits’ had not fully grown yet. She sneakily glanced at the other woman, only to realize that Mrs. Zhang’s skin tone was a light honey color, not particularly fair, but also full of allure.

"Sister Ning, are you on your way to seek relatives on this journey?" Surprisingly, Cui Yingying brought up a topic herself, "Travelling alone and taking care of two younger brothers, you really are very brave."

"Yes, it’s not easy, and I don’t even know if I can make it to the destination alive." Ning Xiaoxian replied with a wry smile, "Not as comfortable as you are, sister, with men taking good care of you in every way."

Right after, Changtian let out a cold "hmm." Only then did she remember that she also had a man by her side at all times, but when it came to taking care, she really didn’t know who was taking care of whom!

Unexpectedly, Cui Yingying scoffed and said: "Him? Hmph! He’s just a servile fellow. He hesitates and worries about everything when tasked with a job!" Ning Xiaoxian agreed in her heart. However, that’s just how women are; no matter how much they like someone in their heart, they have to complain a bit with their words. If Cui Yingying didn’t fancy Zhang Sheng, why would the carriage shake non-stop every night?

Of course, Bai Hong and Bai Jing’s exact words were: "Those two make so much noise every night, even more than my mother and Mr. Zhang during their ’joyful’ times."

However... "Naturally, Cui Yingying had no idea there were ears in the next carriage over, but she seemed to think of something, her eyes narrowing slightly. Finally, a slow smile spread across her face, and her tone softened, "If only he had a bit more backbone, that would be nice."

Was this entering into a show-off-your-love mode? Ning Xiaoxian was astounded. What purpose did this woman have for coming over to start a conversation with her? Zhang Sheng was always inseparable from his wife, but now he just sat at a distance, chatting with others, obviously leaving some space for his wife.

"Sister Ning." Cui Yingying began to stammer a bit, about to get to the main point, "The other day I saw you aid the merchant team’s clerk with an elixir that was very effective. You must be proficient in Alchemy Skill?"

Here it came, the main topic. "I wouldn’t call myself proficient, just a bit of dabbling. Is there anything I can assist the sister with?"

"It’s not really a big deal to speak of." Cui Yingying slowed down, choosing her words, "I would like to ask for your guidance, could you refine... a Disguise Pill?"

The Disguise Pill, an elixir capable of changing one’s appearance! Alchemy Skill yields a myriad of drugs, not only life-enhancing elixirs but also tiger and wolf poisons and various other types of potent drugs, among which the Disguise Pill is one with a peculiar use. If applied correctly, it can help change one’s appearance without damaging the skin, and mortals cannot detect it. Moreover, disguise differs from makeup; usually, the effects can last for about two months, not removed by washing, and the better the quality of the Disguise Pill, the longer its effectiveness lasts.
