The Good-for-Nothing Seventh Miss - Chapter 473

Chapter 473: Potion Made by Great Herbalist (3)

It would take the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group at least six to seven years to make that much money, even if they were to take on assignments frantically without eating or drinking.

That was how relationships between people were built. For some, they would not anticipate any returned favors when they made their efforts. However, when the other party returned their efforts with favors proactively, that appreciation and recognition could exert a subtle influence on their relationship.

The six wolves no longer had any ill thoughts about Shen Yanxiao.

They were pleased with what Shen Yanxiao had done for them.

Du Lang’s complexion was better after they fed him the potions made by a Great Herbalist. Magic Wolf summoned a doctor to take a look at Du Lang, and according to him, Du Lang was no longer in a critical situation. He just needed to rest quietly for some time, and he could even wake up in a day or two.

Shen Yanxiao did not plan to leave the Black City for the moment. She felt responsible for what had happened to the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group. Therefore, she would only depart from Black City after Du Lang had woken up.

Besides, she was eager to find out where the Skeleton Flower was.

She did not have much time before the competition would begin. She had cultivated with great effort every day, but alas, she still could not improve her strength to an advanced level. She would always feel like she was only one step away from the advanced level, yet that step would hinder her progress.

Everything was due to the seal.

She must undo the seal before the competition, and to do that, she must first locate the Skeleton Flower!

Shen Yanxiao went to the inn where the Vermillion Bird was staying after she left the Cave Wolves Mercenary Group’s headquarters. She had also given Evil Wolf the inn’s address so that Evil Wolf could send someone to notify her after Du Lang had woken up.

Shen Yanxiao had only arrived at the street where the inn was located. Before she could step closer, though, she could already see black smoke billowed from the inn’s doors.

A bad feeling surged in Shen Yanxiao’s mind.

She walked against the smoke until she was inside the inn. She saw a big mess on the spacious first floor. Balls of red flames were burning away in the inn. The owner was busy with organizing his waiters to put out the fire hurriedly.

The owner suddenly saw Shen Yanxiao in his inn, and he immediately threw himself at her.

“My honorable guest! Please do me a favor! Can you please ask your friend to move to another inn? I am here to run a small business, and I cannot afford to be tormented like this. I won’t accept any charges for your room. How about that?” The owner grasped Shen Yanxiao’s sleeve as he sobbed. He was so close to cries of anguish.

Shen Yanxiao’s mouth twitched. She had a feeling that the fire must have been related to a certain two creatures.

She comforted the grieved innkeeper and then headed to a room on the second floor.

She kicked the door open, and she saw the big and small creatures in the room.

Vermillion Bird was floating upright in the air, with his hands around a silly, adorable, and chubby small body. As Shen Yanxiao barged in, he turned at her with a frozen expression on his face.

As for the adorable silly little Phoenix, it was flapping its two small wings, as it tried its hardest to struggle. The moment Shen Yanxiao showed up, the little Phoenix stopped all its actions in a spooky way, and its wings turned motionless in the air as well.

Shen Yanxiao raised her eyebrows as she glared at the big and small creatures with a twisted expression on her face. Then, she stepped in and smashed the door closed.

The innkeeper who had followed behind Shen Yanxiao looked at the closed door with mixed feelings. The next second, however, he heard a ghost-like wail and wolf-like howl from a child from within the room.

“You… listen to me… Alas! Will you just let me explain! Don’t… Please don’t pull my ears! Let go… Argh! Argh!”

The innkeeper was filled with apprehension. He gulped and turned to go back downstairs to resume his firefighting effort.
