Chapter 49: Chapter 49: Learn from the Barbarians to Control the Barbarians

The girl looked at Ye Yunyi, her anger flaring.

’This isn’t painful?!’

’You call this not painful?!’

’This is excruciating pain, in both body and soul!’

’And you say it doesn’t hurt!’

’Doesn’t your conscience hurt?!’

In an instant, the girl was cursing him out a million times in her head. She looked at Ye Yunyi. "You liar! Didn’t you say it wouldn’t hurt?!"

"It’s always like this at first. You’ll get used to it!" Ye Yunyi said with a relaxed expression. "A little pain now for a lot of pleasure later!"

’Huh?!’

For a second, the girl felt like there was something off about that sentence.

But in her current state of agony, she couldn’t quite put her finger on what it was.

"Is it done?"

The girl looked at Ye Yunyi and asked.

"Not yet. There’s still the medicinal powder."

Ye Yunyi flipped his hand over, producing the powder.

"Fine, just sprinkle it on," the girl said, then saw Ye Yunyi hold out his hand.

He rubbed his thumb, index, and middle fingers together.

The girl’s eyes widened. "What are you doing?!"

"That last Crystal Core was for the medicinal wine. This powder will cost you another Crystal Core!"

"Are you jacking up the price on the spot?!" the girl blurted out.

"What the hell!" Ye Yunyi swore. "You think I’m some kind of snake oil salesman? I have principles, you know!"

"This medicinal powder, I refined it myself!"

"It’s made with the Crystal Core of a Late-Silver Stage Exotic Beast! And a Mutant Plant!"

"Plus my delicate touch, decocted..."

The girl: "..."

"Alright, alright, stop talking! I’ll pay, I’ll pay," the girl said, taking out another Crystal Core.

Another Golden Tier Crystal Core!

’Whoa!’

’Not bad, not bad. She really had another one!’

Ye Yunyi then prepared to pour the powder for her.

’Pour on the powder, add a bandage, and the job’s done.’

"Wait!"

Seeing Ye Yunyi’s movement, the girl stopped him instantly.

"Tell me the truth. Does this powder hurt when you put it on?"

After all, the last two treatments had really scared her.

"It doesn’t hurt!"

Ye Yunyi said decisively.

Then he grabbed the girl’s arm!

As the girl struggled, a butterfly-shaped birthmark on her wrist was revealed!

Ye Yunyi looked at it in surprise. ’Someone has a birthmark in that shape?’

While he was thinking this, his hands didn’t stop, and he sprinkled the powder directly onto the wound.

"AHH!"

The next second.

The girl slammed her head straight into a large tree!

A wail of agony escaped her lips.

She looked at Ye Yunyi, her mind erupting with a torrent of curses!

’You $%^!!!’

But the girl knew she was incredibly weak right now, so she could only scream at him in her thoughts.

’How can this stuff hurt so much!’ she thought.

’This guy!’

’He’s not a quack, is he?!’

’Don’t tell me instead of healing me, he’s just going to get me killed!’

Thinking about these possibilities, the girl looked at Ye Yunyi with an urge to tear him to shreds.

Ye Yunyi looked at the girl’s expression.

’Fine!’

’This medicine...’

’...is now on my list of forbidden medicines!’

’Damn, isn’t this just straight-up torture?!’

Then, Ye Yunyi tore a piece of the girl’s clothing off, used it as a bandage, and wrapped her arm.

He really couldn’t be bothered to listen to her screaming anymore.

’The things I do for money!’

*Sigh!*

’These days, making money is hard, and life sucks!’

’Time to go!’

Once he was done, Ye Yunyi left.

The girl was now covered in sweat.

Watching Ye Yunyi walk away.

She cursed him out again in her mind.

But after cursing for a while, she ran out of strength.

The pain, on top of everything else, caused her to pass out.

Meanwhile, Ye Yunyi had returned to his group.

Zhou Huaiwei saw that Ye Yunyi had been gone. "Honey, where did you just go?"

"I went and got us two Crystal Cores."

Then, Ye Yunyi opened his hand, and two Golden Tier Crystal Cores appeared in his palm.

Everyone: "..."

HISS!

’Are those...!’

’Golden Tier Crystal Cores!’

’Are those something you can just go and "get"?!’

’Huh?!’

’Where did he get them? How did he get them?’

At that moment, they were truly at a loss for words.

’He’s just too incredible!’

"Let’s go. Back to base!"

At Ye Yunyi’s command, everyone set off.

Heading home!

「A few hours later.」

The girl slowly regained consciousness.

She immediately felt light and refreshed.

She took off her sweat-drenched mask.

Beneath the mask was a face that could topple kingdoms!

Willow-like eyebrows, cherry lips, and skin as smooth as jade!

Paired with delicate features!

She was a beauty to be admired from afar, untouchable and ethereal.

She checked her body’s condition. The poison... it was actually gone!

She quickly unwrapped the bandage Ye Yunyi had made for her.

She looked at her arm, which was now smooth and completely healed, as if it had never been injured!

Her eyes widened in disbelief. She couldn’t believe what she was seeing!

’His medicine... it’s actually this effective!’

Right then, she understood. This guy was no ordinary person!

’He must be an Alchemist!’

’No wonder he dared to charge such a price!’

’So he really had the skills to back it up!’

’If I could recruit a talent like him into the organization...’

’...it would be a great contribution.’

But now that she had fainted, she’d lost her chance.

Besides, she was still in danger.

’I need to get out of here!’

With that thought, the girl felt some of her strength returning.

With a push of her feet, she darted off into the distance.

Meanwhile.

Ye Yunyi and the others had returned to the Nebula Barrier.

Everyone began to sort through their haul.

Ye Yunyi took all the High-Level Crystal Cores.

As for the Low Level ones, Ye Yunyi let everyone else divide them.

The group of Mutants was ecstatic.

After all, for them, this was a massive harvest!

After sorting through the Mutant Plants, Ye Yunyi...

...realized he could refine a rapid-recovery medicine!

He already had all the necessary ingredients!

’This is great!’

’It’s perfect for the period of weakness after using Nine Nether Qi!’

Without delay, Ye Yunyi began the Alchemy process.

About an hour later.

A cauldron of medicine was successfully refined.

The entire villa was filled with a rich medicinal aroma.

Ye Yunyi inhaled the scent, a look of enjoyment on his face.

Then, he began the Pill Rubbing.

After Ye Yunyi finished the Pill Rubbing.

Many of the Mutants began to arrive.

After all, the necessary nightly program was still on.

When they arrived, they smelled the medicinal fragrance in the air.

They paused, sniffing the air with looks of pleasure on their faces.

’What on earth is City Lord Ye making?’

’How can it smell this good?’

But they also knew that these things weren’t for them to ask about.

So, they sat down and prepared to join the great feast.

Ye Yunyi was also preparing for the big wedding tonight.

Tonight!

He was going to marry the blonde beauty!

After the great feast!

Ye Yunyi looked at the blonde beauty, then carried her into the room.

Once inside, he listened to her clumsy Chinese.

Ye Yunyi said, "Just speak your native language. I like it authentic."

After all, an "Oh, yes!" is much more authentic!

And then, the lights went out.
