Chapter 74 Strolling
Ruohan was startled to see Lu Jinyan so lively and energetic. She had been lying in bed weak and listless just yesterday, so how could she be so lively and energetic today?
However, Ruohan chose not to ask. He knew the principle that some things should not be said and some things should not be asked. He and Lu Jinyan were just strangers who met by chance. Although she saved him, he guessed that she was not yet at the point where they could exchange secrets.
"Jin'er, why are you out here? Is your injury any better?"
"Alright, alright, all done, look!" Lu Jinyan lifted her skirt and twirled twice in front of Ruohan.
"That's good. But since you've just recovered from a serious illness, you shouldn't move around too much. You should rest more!" Ruohan was relieved to see that she was indeed alright.
“I know, I just wanted to bring you medicine. You’re weak and need more rest than I do. I got this medicine by chance. Take it for two days in a row, it will be good for your health.” Lu Jinyan took out two pills wrapped in a handkerchief from her bosom and handed them to Ruohan.
"That won't do. Since Jin'er obtained it by chance, it must be very precious. I'm not seriously injured, so I won't waste this medicine. Jin'er is also injured, so you should keep it for yourself." Ruohan quickly waved his hand. Although he was injured, he would be fine after resting for a while, so there was no need to waste the spiritual medicine.
"What are you saying? How is it a waste? The purpose of medicine is to cure diseases and save lives. Besides, this medicine is useless for my injury, and it's pointless for me to keep it here. You need it more than I do, so don't refuse. Aren't we friends? There's no need to be so polite!" Lu Jinyan stuffed the medicine into Ruohan's hand before he could refuse.
"Oh right, Ruohan, this is for you!" Lu Jinyan took out a pair of mandarin duck stones from her bosom and handed them to Ruohan.
Looking at the small red stone, Ruohan smiled and accepted it.
"Ding, congratulations to the host for successfully using the Mandarin Duck Stone on Ruohan.
"Ding! Ruohan's favorability +1, current favorability 14!"
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully increased Ruohan's conquest progress to 14%. Rewards: 1000 points, 100 Mandarin Duck Stones, 20 Intermediate Cultivation Pills, 1 Cloud Light Saint Armor, 1 Mysterious Spirit Treasure Robe, 1 Seven Luminaries Saint Robe, 1 Purple Charm Brocade Robe, 1 Netherworld Frost Needle, 1 Cloud-Breaking Fan, 1 Shadow-Riding Bracelet, 1 Wind-Slaying Sword, 1 Moon Goddess Bell, 1 Blood Wind Pearl, 1 Azure Sky Spirit Pearl. Please keep up the good work, host!"
As the system's announcement ended, Lu Jinyan was surprised to find that there were actually new items this time, including several with names she had never heard of before. Moreover, the system had given her one or two mid-quality items, which was something to make her happy.
The system said that they are divided into ten levels. The rewards for levels one to three are low-level, those for levels four to seven are mid-level, and those for levels eight to ten are high-level. I didn't expect that I would get mid-level items as soon as I reached level three. Not bad, not bad. I didn't waste my time with the system!
"Jin'er, did you really pick up this little stone?" Ruohan felt that there was something strange about the stone.
“Of course, I picked some up when I passed by a river and saw that they were pretty. Does Ruohan think there’s anything wrong with them?” Lu Jinyan was a little suspicious. She thought to herself that even Mo Xuan hadn’t noticed anything wrong with the stones, so he probably wouldn’t either.
Besides, the system said this is only for increasing favorability; it doesn't seem to have any other use.
"Oh, there's nothing wrong with it. I just think these little stones are quite unique, and I was thinking of picking up some more when I have the chance!" Ruohan didn't press further. He looked at the stone in his hand and thought that he might be overthinking things.
"Hi, I was just passing by at the time, and now I can't quite remember where I found them. I'm really sorry. But I have a whole bunch here. If you like, I'll give you one every day, okay?"
Lu Jinyan was secretly plotting something. She was just wondering what reason to give him the Mandarin Duck Stone, and now that he had delivered it to her door, wasn't that exactly what she wanted?
"Okay!" For some reason, when Ruohan heard Lu Jinyan say that she would give him one every day from now on, a warm feeling suddenly welled up in his heart.
"Ruohan, you go ahead with your work. I have something to do, so I'll head back now!" To prevent Ruohan from asking her any more questions about the Mandarin Duck Stone, Lu Jinyan quickly made an excuse to slip away.
"Alright, then Jin'er be careful!" Ruohan nodded, watching Lu Jinyan leave. Looking at that pink figure, she looked down at the matching handkerchief in her hand, and a smile appeared on her lips.
He reached out and opened the handkerchief, revealing two small black pills inside. He took one and put it in his mouth, a sweet taste spreading through his mouth. The small red stone, just like yesterday, also turned into a red hue and disappeared into his palm.
A warm feeling still filled his body. A moment later, he clearly felt that his internal injuries had improved a lot. He was surprised and thought that it must be the effect of the pill. It seemed that this pill was definitely not an ordinary pill.
Such a precious thing, she just gave it away without hesitation, and Ruohan didn't know what to say.
"Ding, Ruohan's favorability +1, current favorability 15."
"Ding! Congratulations, host, you have successfully increased Ruohan's conquest progress to 15%. Rewards: 1000 points, 100 Mandarin Duck Stones, 20 Intermediate Cultivation Pills, 1 Cloud Light Saint Armor, 1 Mysterious Spirit Treasure Robe, 1 Seven Luminaries Saint Robe, 1 Purple Charm Brocade Robe, 1 Netherworld Frost Needle, 1 Cloud-Breaking Fan, 1 Shadow-Riding Bracelet, 1 Wind-Slaying Sword, 1 Moon Goddess Bell, 1 Blood Wind Pearl, 1 Azure Sky Spirit Pearl. Please keep up the good work!"
Lu Jinyan had just left Ruohan's residence and was wandering around when she heard the system's announcement. She was overjoyed. Look, look, this is a good target for romance. He keeps increasing her favorability, unlike that brat Mo Xuan.
He wouldn't move for ten days or half a month. Speaking of Mo Xuan, I wonder how he is now. Given the current situation, he probably won't be able to set off for a few more days, and he'll probably have to spend the New Year on the road.
Lu Jinyan walked around the Wang family's house for a long time and found that the once empty house was now full of people because of them moving in. It didn't look as deserted as before.
After finally getting enough exercise, Lu Jinyan returned to her place. As soon as she reached the door, she was embraced by a pale yellow figure.
"Sister Lu, it really is Sister Lu! Sister Lu, how did you get out? Is your injury healed? Sister Lu, do you still recognize me? Sister Lu, thank you for saving me!"
