Chapter 1968: Chapter 1957: Herbal Medicine Business

Chen Yang went to the Taoist temple to chat with Taoist Liu and Chen Tianmin for a while.

As he was leaving the temple, he happened to run into He Xiran coming back from the nearby mountain with Xiaohua.

Seeing Xiaohua’s round belly, it was obvious she had quite a feast on the mountain’s wildlife this morning.

"Chen Yang!"

He Xiran, spotting Chen Yang, excitedly waved and greeted him.

"Chen Yang, you’re free today, right? Come with me to the market, it’s been ages since I went out." He Xiran walked over with a smile and said to Chen Yang.

He Xiran couldn’t sit still. She had already explored the area around Liuhe Village thoroughly and had lost interest.

A few days ago, she had started clamoring for Chen Yang to take her to the market, but Chen Yang felt it was a bit unsafe and refused.

He didn’t expect to escape, yet she seized the opportunity again.

"There’s nothing much today, but the outside is quite tense, better not go out to avoid trouble," Chen Yang replied.

Seeing it was still a no, He Xiran’s expression immediately turned downcast.

"Chen Yang, you’re going back on your word, you promised to take me out after half a month, today is exactly half a month, isn’t it?" He Xiran pouted.

Seeing her like this, Chen Yang was a bit bemused.

"Today is half a month, but we have to see the situation, if something happens, it’ll be too risky," Chen Yang shrugged.

"Oh, it can’t be that coincidental, it’s been half a month, if we’re careful, nothing will happen, just take me," He Xiran pulled Chen Yang’s hand, shaking it and playfully acted cute.

Seeing no way to decline, Chen Yang had no choice but agreed.

"Alright, but once we’re out, you have to listen to me. If anything seems off, we’ll leave immediately," Chen Yang warned in advance.

"Sure, no problem."

Seeing she could finally go out, He Xiran agreed without hesitation.

Chen Yang shook his head helplessly, took her out of the temple, went to the clinic to get the car, and headed to the town.

Today the town was bustling as well.

There were many vendors and market personnel coming and going.

He Xiran probably hadn’t been out in a while, her face was practically screaming excitement once she hit the street.

"So lively, Chen Yang, it’s really been a long time since I went out, I almost suffocated," He Xiran said, pulling Chen Yang’s hand, walking into the crowd.

"Enjoy the stroll, this might be the last time for a while," Chen Yang joked.

He Xiran’s smiling face turned a bit downcast hearing that, but she didn’t say much.

She continued pulling Chen Yang and shopping.

He Xiran loved clothing, so naturally, she visited clothing stores the most on the street.

Although the town’s stores mostly had old styles, with few trendy, fashionable clothes, He Xiran still shopped with great interest.

"Oh my, miss, you’re so pretty, anything you wear looks good, this outfit suits you perfectly, take it."

"Miss, the reputation of my store in town is top-notch, the price won’t be high on you."

...

The town’s stores were generally run by older women, all with a silver tongue.

With descriptions here and there, He Xiran couldn’t resist.

She ended up buying quite a few things.

The main point is, even after buying, she wouldn’t carry them herself.

She had Chen Yang carry them for her.

Looking at his hands full of things, Chen Yang felt helpless.

Women truly are all the same.

Even becoming a cultivator couldn’t change the inherent love for shopping.

They wandered for about two or three hours, nearing midday.

Seeing it was getting late, Chen Yang said to He Xiran, "Xiran, it’s getting late, we should head back."

After accompanying her for two or three hours, Chen Yang really felt a bit tired.

But He Xiran was just like nothing, full of energy, clearly not having had enough fun.

"Chen Yang, we finally got out, don’t be like this," He Xiran said sweetly, trying to persuade Chen Yang.

This morning, while wandering, Chen Yang also kept an eye on the market, not spotting anyone suspicious.

So the town seemed relatively safe.

"But it’s already noon, if we don’t head back, what are we going to eat?" Chen Yang laughed.

"Let’s just find something to eat in town, eat out," He Xiran replied.

Chen Yang was somewhat amused.

There wasn’t much to eat in town, just some small restaurants.

And just as he was about to speak, his phone in his pocket rang.

He took it out and saw it was Niu Ming calling.

"Niu Ming? Why is he calling me suddenly?"

Ever since Niu Ming got married, he had been living happily every day with no trouble.

So Chen Yang was a bit surprised to see his call.

"Let me take this call first."

Saying this, he swiped his phone screen to answer the call.

"Hello, Niu Ming, what’s up?" Chen Yang spoke.

"Yang Zi, where are you? I have a business proposal, want to partner up, can you come by for a chat?"

On the other end, Niu Ming’s cheerful voice came through.

"Business?"

"Yes, a highly profitable business, I think you’d be interested, why not come by and discuss? We can have lunch too, it’s been a while since we brothers had a drink together," Niu Ming laughed.

Hearing about business, Chen Yang wasn’t very interested.
