"There's been a major incident in the capital," one of the young students said as they walked down the street, exchanging words. The boy with the dyed yellow hair suddenly stopped mid-sentence, his mouth agape in astonishment as he watched a couple pass by. The boy was handsome, but he paled in comparison to the ethereal beauty of the girl beside him, who seemed untouched by the world.
He stood there, dazed, staring at the pair until they turned the corner and disappeared from view.
"Damn it, such a good catch wasted on a pig," he muttered under his breath.
Just as he was about to voice his complaint, his female companion sharply pinched him at the waist.
Meanwhile, after passing by the couple, Yang Xiaoyou raised an eyebrow. He didn't care much for the drama unfolding over there, but his friend's comment did reflect a certain reality in the capital.
The royal family had been decimated; nearly all members residing in the capital had suffered devastating blows overnight. If this news got out, it would undoubtedly become a shocking national incident.
Yet even now, there was no sign that this information was spreading. The capital had merely tightened security; it seemed the authorities were preparing to find a suitable excuse to save face.
After all, aside from a few priests, opportunities for the royal family to make appearances were rare. They needed to keep things under wraps for a while. As long as Hive Security Company didn’t come forward themselves, there would be no obstacles.
In truth, most people in the know understood that Hive Security Company was likely behind the enforcement actions. However, aside from their honeymoon period with both sides and lacking evidence, it was possible that the authorities would use this opportunity to shift blame onto the Common Unity Party.
"Honestly, at this point, it doesn't matter whose fault it is. If they fail, everything is over; it's hard to say if any state entity will even exist afterward. If they succeed, maybe they can finally relax and put down their burdens." Yang Xiaoyou shook his head with a bitter smile, casting aside thoughts of events that had unconsciously crossed his mind as he glanced back at Feng Lin trailing behind him. A faint smile crept onto his lips.
His initial purpose and what he was doing now had diverged more and more. Perhaps this was an opportunity—a chance to reset everything.
Feeling Yang Xiaoyou's gaze on him, Feng Lin looked up and tilted his head curiously to meet Yang Xiaoyou's eyes.
"Hehe, you’re here! Wow, you’re so handsome! Is he your boyfriend?" Huang Ling exclaimed as they arrived at her shop, her eyes widening in surprise at Feng Lin standing idly behind Yang Xiaoyou.
However, Feng Lin, who usually did not speak up, twitched his ears upon hearing Huang Ling's words and slightly bowed his head.
"She is my wife."
His cold, emotionless statement was as casual as if he were discussing the weather.
Huang Ling felt a slight shock at the mention of "wife" and "child." The leap in context seemed a bit too much.
Yang Xiaoyou, standing nearby, couldn't help but feel a mix of amusement and exasperation. Given Feng Lin's mindset, if he had accepted the memories of his past life, then in terms of identity and agreement, there was indeed no mistake.
However, at that moment, he didn't want to dwell on the complexities of Aspects any longer; the more he probed, the murkier it became. He directly suggested they take a look at the herbs.
Huang Ling had also confirmed her relationship with Chen Hao and felt a bit awkward. After hearing this, she led the two into the inner room.
As they pushed the door open, a fragrant herbal aroma wafted through the air. Various neatly organized herbs were piled up in this makeshift room, with a Herbal Bath Barrel placed in the center.
"Here are all the items you wanted. I've also gathered some tools for you. I need to help my dad outside, so you can check the herbs yourself. Just brew some tea for yourself."
After bringing them in, Huang Ling seemed unable to withstand Feng Lin's piercing gaze. She waved her hand and left to help outside.
This left Yang Xiaoyou feeling somewhat amused as well. However, his attention was soon drawn to the herbs beside him.
These were all high-quality items he had gathered himself. If an ordinary person tried to use this formula, their body would definitely not be able to handle such potency; it would be more harmful than beneficial.
But for him, while it might be painful, the effects were guaranteed. To keep up with time, he had to dive right in.
He began to organize the various herbs, while also discussing with Feng Lin some topics about the uses of this batch of medicines. After all, she was indeed ahead of him in this aspect, having accumulated much more knowledge, and he might even be able to learn something from her.
When Yang Xiaoyou raised some questions, Feng Lin did not hold back and shared her thoughts openly.
With her solid foundation, she was even able to directly determine the combined effects of these herbs.
At one point, she seemed to notice something. After pausing her explanation, she walked over to a bag of relatively rare herbs, reached in, and took a handful to sniff.
Seeing Feng Lin's actions, a hint of delight flashed across Yang Xiaoyou's face.
"Hehe, you didn't expect this, did you? This seemingly useless herb can actually work wonders when combined. For me, it's turning waste into treasure! It can triple the potency of the medicine. And I don't know where Uncle Huang got it from, but it seems to have a high quality too. That makes it even better! Ordinary people might not be able to handle it, but I definitely can."
Yang Xiaoyou moved behind Feng Lin and pinched a bit of the herb between her fingers, rubbing it thoughtfully.
Upon hearing Yang Xiaoyou's words, Feng Lin seemed to be lost in thought for a moment, unsure of what she was considering. However, she soon nodded in agreement.
"The potency is indeed strong."
After that, she picked up a tea set and began to prepare tea, as if she intended to brew some.
In terms of tea preparation, Feng Lin truly had her own unique approach.
However, when Yang Xiaoyou saw her continuously adding herbs into the tea, she couldn't help but feel a bit curious.
"Herbal tea?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Lin expressionlessly nodded and then replied in a clear and calm tone,
"To enhance the potency."
It seemed that after hearing that the stronger the medicine, the better, Yang Xiaoyou was further encouraged to add more fuel to the fire.
"Please."
After continuously adding ingredients in proportion, Feng Lin presented a cup of what looked like a dark culinary disaster—a purple 'Tea' that emitted a faint blue vapor from the surface, with bubbles rising inside that made it absolutely unappealing to drink.
Even Yang Xiaoyou felt his heart tighten at the sight.
"Let—let me drink this?" After swallowing hard, Yang Xiaoyou spoke somewhat shyly.
"Please."
Feng Lin simply repeated the word, staring at Yang Xiaoyou with a subtle gaze that left him unable to resist. In the end, he had no choice but to accept the bubbling cup of 'Tea' that reeked heavily of medicinal herbs.
There will only be one update today; tomorrow I have to wake up early to take a bus to the countryside for a children's festival performance. It feels like I'm being tricked again. (To be continued.)
