Chapter 1090 The Second Condition
The next day, Chen Xuan yawned as he walked down from his room. He saw Su Yunxi eating and raised his hand to greet her, but Su Yunxi’s face turned red. She grabbed her bag and left, "I'm full, I'm going to work!"
While Chen Xuan was still stunned, Su Yunxi had already walked out of the living room. The moment she stepped out, her face was flushed. She was still preoccupied with what happened last night and didn't want to face Chen Xuan.
Yes, to give something so embarrassing to a man, even her fiancé, Su Yunxi felt incredibly ashamed.
Clearly, at this moment, Su Yunxi no longer had the courage to dedicate herself. Perhaps she had used it all up before.
Chen Xuan, on the other hand, was confused as to why Su Yunxi was acting so strangely.
Jiang Biyun, who was serving rice to Chen Xuan, watched this scene and chuckled, pursing her lips.
In her eyes, Su Yunxi giving herself entirely to Chen Xuan and then acting like this was completely normal. At the same time, she was also sure that Su Yunxi had given herself to Chen Xuan.
Then she was relieved!
But how could she know that Su Yunxi had helped Chen Xuan in this way?
Soon, Chen Xuan also thought of the reason. He smiled slightly and sat down beside her. At this moment, Jiang Biyun happily served Chen Xuan a bowl of soup and placed it in front of him, "Chen Xuan, eat more."
Chen Xuan thought it was porridge and lifted it to drink, but when it reached his eyes, he realized it was not porridge at all, but a bowl of dark liquid with a strange smell. He couldn't help but say, "Aunt Jiang, what is this?"
Jiang Biyun smiled and said, "Chen Xuan, this is wolfberry and bull penis soup, with special seasonings added. I made it specifically for you. You should drink several bowls."
Chen Xuan was stunned. He indeed saw a few wolfberries floating in the bowl and some pieces of bull penis at the bottom. He frowned, "Aunt Jiang, why are we eating this in the morning?"
Usually, this kind of soup was drunk at night. Drinking it in the morning, wouldn't it cause a nosebleed?
"You need to nourish your body now. What's wrong with drinking it in the morning? I made a big pot, and you need to drink it at noon and at night," Jiang Biyun said with a smile.
Chen Xuan: "..."
If he drank this, he would probably have a nosebleed.
He wanted to refuse, but Jiang Biyun insisted on supervising him until he finished. Helplessly, Chen Xuan had to gulp it down.
After drinking the soup, Chen Xuan immediately felt a warmth spread through his body.
It must be an illusion. How could it take effect so quickly?
He didn't pay much attention to it, but suddenly he felt a coolness below his nose. When he looked down, he saw a drop of blood on the table.
Damn it, what kind of soup is this that caused a nosebleed immediately!
Indeed, when he touched his nose, it was bleeding.
Seeing this, Jiang Biyun was not surprised at all. Instead, she looked surprised and muttered, "The prescription from Master Ma is really effective!"
"Aunt Jiang, what exactly is this soup?" Chen Xuan asked curiously.
Jiang Biyun smiled mysteriously and did not explain. Instead, she said, "Chen Xuan, that's great, that's great. Continue this afternoon!"
After speaking, Jiang Biyun personally went to clean up the bowls and chopsticks, humming a little tune.
Chen Xuan went upstairs directly and took out his silver needles to try and reduce the heat. After a lot of effort, he found that he couldn't reduce the heat at all. He was greatly curious. What kind of soup was this that even he couldn't reduce the heat?
So, Chen Xuan stuffed his nose with tissue and walked downstairs, intending to find Master Ma to inquire about the second condition.
Another day had passed in the blink of an eye. Time was of the essence!
As soon as he arrived outside, he saw Master Ma teasing a bird. He was muttering, "Little mynah bird, I'll give you some soup tonight too. I guarantee you'll have a fat chick, no, a fat bird..."
When Chen Xuan heard this, he instantly understood what was going on. He walked over with a cold smile and snatched the bird food from Master Ma's hand.
"Hey, who's stealing my stuff?!"
Master Ma shouted and turned to see Chen Xuan, questioning, "Kid, what are you doing?"
Chen Xuan's face was grim, and he sneered, "What do you think I'm doing?"
"How would I know what you're doing?"
Master Ma retorted.
The two of them bickered back and forth, like a crosstalk show. If a foreigner came, they would be utterly confused.
"Did you give that soup recipe to Aunt Jiang?" Chen Xuan questioned.
Master Ma clearly felt guilty, but quickly calmed down and smiled, "That soup isn't bad, is it, kid? Let me tell you, that's my unique secret recipe. I wouldn't give it to just anyone."
Chen Xuan: "..."
Seeing the tissue stuffed in Chen Xuan's nose, Master Ma was overjoyed, "It seems to be very effective."
"It's great, my foot! It's all your fault for this bad idea, making me have nosebleeds all the time!" Chen Xuan cursed, grabbed Master Ma by the collar, raised his fist, and made a move to hit him.
Master Ma was not afraid at all and said, "If you dare to hit me, I'll go and tell Jiang Biyun right now that she was the one who asked me for the soup recipe."
With that said, Chen Xuan had no way to attack. Moreover, Chen Xuan also saw Jiang Biyun walking her little Teddy dog outside.
He resentfully let go.
"That's more like it," Master Ma also breathed a sigh of relief and adjusted his clothes.
Chen Xuan didn't want to dwell on this matter anymore and said, "Now quickly tell me the second condition. I don't have time to waste with you. If we keep wasting time like this, the Su family in the provincial capital will be finished!"
Master Ma said calmly, "I've already thought of the second condition."
"What?"
Chen Xuan looked at him in surprise, not expecting Master Ma to be so straightforward this time.
Master Ma didn't speak, but placed a tattered cloth bag he was carrying on the table.
It usually looked small, but when placed on the table, it seemed bulging, as if it contained quite a few things. Master Ma fiddled with it for a while and finally took out a palm-sized, entirely green turtle shell.
That pure green was even purer than the imperial green of the king of jade.
"Is this the shell of a spirit turtle?"
Chen Xuan was stunned when he saw the turtle shell, and then his eyes widened instantly.
When scolding people, they often say "thousand-year-old turtle, ten-thousand-year-old tortoise," which fully illustrates the longevity of turtles. And the spirit turtle is rumored to be the shell left by a turtle that had lived for over a thousand years.
This spirit turtle shell has a powerful enhancement for divination and the ability to peek into the secrets of heaven, making divination more accurate.
There is also a legend.
It is rumored that on an island floating overseas, yes, this island is not fixed in a certain location, but floats on the sea.
According to modern maritime history records, this island has appeared three times. The first two times, no one had landed on this island. However, Zheng He of the Yuan Dynasty, during his first voyage to the West, saw this island and landed on it.
Zheng He brought back a turtle shell from this island, which is this spirit turtle shell, and then gave it to the Imperial Astronomical Bureau of the Yuan Dynasty at that time.
It is said that the Yuan Dynasty experienced internal strife, and it was precisely because the Imperial Astronomical Bureau, relying on this turtle shell, predicted events in advance, that the situation at the time was stabilized.
When Emperor Zhu Di learned of this, he found the turtle shell to be very magical and became greedy. In order to make the country prosperous, he began to order Zheng He to sail west seven times to search for that mysterious island. However, Zheng He never found that mysterious island again.
