Chapter 281: Chapter 281: The Herbal Soup is Ready! (Please Follow)
Hua Hong was pretty shocked, *they found the herbs this fast?*
With a bang, Yun Bing set the heavy chest down on the floor. Once she opened it, the rich aroma of medicinal herbs wafted out, filling the entire living room.
Hua Hong sniffed the air, exclaiming, "I smell Thousand-Year Ginseng, Demon Whale, Celestial Snow Lotus, magma!"
He and Xiao Ye both looked into the chest.
Sure enough!
Inside, it was packed full with herbs. All twelve herbs needed for the stewed medicinal soup were there.
Hua Hong gave a big thumbs up and praised, "No wonder you’re Kunpeng, the Venerable. You managed to buy such rare herbs so fast."
Those four precious herbs were each equal to Venerable Level ingredients. While not quite Supreme Treasures, they were still incredibly difficult to harvest and collect.
Yun Bing remained unfazed, "I’ve lived for 1,500 years. If I couldn’t even find these little things, that would be embarrassing."
"Xiao Ye, have you learned the Massage Secret Technique?"
Xiao Ye said that he had learned it.
Hua Hong sneered, *you learned it badly, honestly.*
Yun Bing flopped onto the sofa, kicked off her shoes, and rested her sexy, nylon-clad jade feet in Xiao Ye’s lap. With a lazy tone, she said, "My feet are sore, give me a massage."
Xiao Ye naturally reached out with both hands and ripped two holes in her stockings so her crystal-clear feet peeked out, putting them in full view.
Then he got right to massaging, even gave his hand a sniff after kneading a bit. Only when he was sure there was no foot odor did he keep going.
Hua Hong’s eyes widened, *these two definitely have something going on. Even their moves are way too intimate.*
He glanced at Yun Bing’s gorgeous cheeks and her explosively sexy figure, and swallowed hard.
"I’ll go make the soup!" Hua Hong only took a single look before quickly hauling the chest into the kitchen, not daring to gaze any longer.
A beauty like Yun Bing, both stunning and strong, with a killer body and dominant vibe—she was the dream goddess of every hot-blooded young guy. Who wouldn’t want to get close?
Hua Hong sighed, *even as Young Master of the Hua Family, a powerhouse like Yun Bing was way out of my league, not even worth daydreaming about. Besides, I already got myself a legit Contracted Beast Maiden.*
He shook those thoughts off, pulled out his personal herb-steaming device, started peeling the herbs, put them in the machine in order, fired it up, then used some specialized technique to tap the device. He focused his spiritual power, keeping his attention locked on the herbs and soup at all times inside the device.
He had to stay beside it from start to finish. Only by blending in the ancient steaming secret methods could he fully draw out the precious medicinal properties, fusing them right into the herbal brew.
Each herb had a unique medicinal property. He also needed to use a secret technique to harmonize them, getting the right ratios inside the soup. Only then could he cook up a quality medicinal brew.
In the living room, Yun Bing’s soft, pale foot hooked up and caught Xiao Ye’s hands. With a beautiful eyeroll, she said, "You ripped my socks, what am I supposed to wear now?"
Xiao Ye shook off her feet, took both stockings off, stuck them in his pocket, and said, "They’re ruined, so don’t wear any today."
At the Venerable Level, there were barely any impurities in her body. Her whole self radiated a faint fragrance; the stockings didn’t smell at all.
Yun Bing saw him stow away her stockings and grinned mischievously, "You’re seriously pocketing my personal items? You’d better not use ’em for anything dirty. But if you want to, I’m not stopping you—and honestly, I have a lot more stockings. You... mm!"
Xiao Ye’s face darkened, and he covered her mouth, saying, "What are you spouting? Dirty as hell. Am I that kind of guy?"
Yun Bing’s eyes widened and she quickly pushed his hand away, "Ugh! Move your hand! You just massaged my feet and now you’re covering my mouth? You trying to make me taste my own feet?"
Xiao Ye stifled a laugh, "You can eat pig’s feet and duck’s feet, but your jade feet are even more fragrant. Wouldn’t you want to eat those too?"
*Yun Bing’s mind was filled with a stream of curse words, like, are you kidding me?*
Wait! *Did she just miss something here?* She cheered up and teased, "Do you really think they’re more fragrant than pig’s feet and duck feet?"
Xiao Ye nodded.
Yun Bing lifted her foot and kicked it at Xiao Ye’s face, saying, "I don’t believe it. Unless you slurp on them and show me."
In Xiao Ye’s eyes, her jade foot was getting closer and closer.
Closer and closer.
Just then, a voice shrieked from the stairs, "What are you two doing!"
Cheng Bingxi and the other two girls were coming down with Mu Qingxue.
When Mu Qingxue saw their flirtatious moves, she puffed out her cheeks angrily, just like a lioness who’d been groped and was ready to explode.
In a flash, Yun Bing and Xiao Ye jumped apart, sitting far away from each other on the sofa.
*Xiao Ye felt a mix of embarrassment and luck. He was just a hair away from actually slurping her foot; if anyone had seen that, he would’ve died of shame.*
This time, Mu Qingxue was truly pissed. With hands on her hips, she marched up to Yun Bing and complained,
"You’re the vice president, we respect you, but you can’t treat Xiao Ye like that. That’s just nasty."
Cheng Bingxi and the other two girls quickly stepped between them. Nangong Siyao said, "Qingxue, chill out. Let’s just go upstairs."
"Yeah, we got a surprise for you a bit later." freewёbnoνel.com
Liu Ya sent a mental message, "Xiao Ye, Sister Yun Bing, you two haven’t even formed a contract. Could you not get so frisky?"
Xiao Ye messaged back, "So after we form the contract, we can go wild as we want, right?"
Liu Ya shot him a dirty look and didn’t reply.
The three girls led Mu Qingxue upstairs again.
At that moment, Yun Bing wore a blank face. *Her mood was gloomy now. She frowned anxiously, thinking, "This Beast Girl sees me even more negatively now. After I cure her—get rid of the flat chest issue—will she really change her impression, acknowledge me, and accept me?"*
*Xiao Ye had zero confidence, "Uh, I really don’t know. Let’s see how things go. If the treatment works well, maybe she’ll stop being mad and won’t hate you anymore."*
"Hope so." Yun Bing lost all her playful energy, put on her shoes, and stood up, saying, "Let’s check how that guy’s soup’s coming along."
She strode gracefully toward the kitchen, Xiao Ye following her.
In the middle of the kitchen was a half-person-tall, custom-made steaming contraption, shaped like a giant egg standing upright. Hua Hong was watching it closely, occasionally giving it a few slaps.
The big chest sat nearby; most of the herbs inside were still there.
The two of them stood at the door, watching in silence, not planning to interrupt Hua Hong’s soup-cooking process.
Some things needed a pro to handle them, only then could they get done right and fast.
Ten minutes passed just like that.
Hua Hong suddenly slapped the device hard. The machine buzzed loudly, and dregs came sliding out of a chute at the bottom.
He found a small bowl and a dainty spoon in the kitchen. With a sweep of his hand, the contraption’s lid popped open, and the medicinal soup inside came pouring out in a smooth arc, landing right in the bowl.
Once all the soup was out, the little bowl was filled to the brim.
Hua Hong held the bowl steady, set it on the counter, and grinned, "Mission complete."
"Kunpeng, the Venerable, Mr. Xiao, as long as the patient drinks this bowl of soup—and we use the ancient secret massage technique—there’s a one hundred percent chance the flat chest symptom will be cured."
