Miracle Doctor Baby

Chapter 35: 35. That Auntie

Half a year ago, he received news that General Mo, who was in seclusion, had fallen ill shortly after coming out. However, the Imperial Physicians had examined him and said that the illness was not serious...

Mo Jiuli received the news from him right away. It was because of this news that she decided to return to Fengyun City once her father’s condition stabilized...

”I understand. Thank you, Che!” Mo Jiuli said gratefully.

”Jiuli, can you stop being so polite with me? If it weren’t for you saving me, Shangguan Che would have been long gone from this world...” Shangguan Che said seriously.

He didn’t like Jiuli being so polite to him. At some point, the image of the little Jiuli who saved him became deeply ingrained in his heart...

Over the years, he had dared not disturb her. Occasionally conveying messages to her and listening to her voice would gratify him...

He didn’t understand what his feelings were for Jiuli, but he always remembered that without her, there wouldn’t be Shangguan Che today. He was willing to do anything for her...

Mo Jiuli smiled lightly and said, ”Alright, I know...”

She didn’t have much thought about Shangguan Che, but she had a good impression of him. Maybe she would be willing to be friends with him. When she saved him back then, it was just on a whim and didn’t think too much...

”Alright, Jiuli, you’ve just arrived in Fengyun City. I’ll treat you to lunch to clean off the dust...” Shangguan Che said with bright eyes.

Mo Jiuli pondered for a moment and then nodded her head, ”Alright then! I’ll take Baobao out for a stroll, and we’ll come to find you at noon...”

”I’ll accompany you guys. After all, I’m more familiar with Fengyun City!” Shangguan Che said.

”Fine...” Mo Jiuli didn’t refuse.

And so, Mo Jiuli’s original plan to explore Fengyun City with Xue Feng and Baobao now had Shangguan Che joining along...

The four of them left directly from the back gate of the Silk Store. As a result, many curious ladies in the Silk Store who were wondering about Mo Jiuli’s identity ended up waiting in vain...

Shangguan Che took Mo Jiuli and the others directly to the largest shop in Fengyun City, the First-grade Pavilion. Seeing the luxurious sign hanging on the door of the Pavilion, Mo Baobao’s eyes lit up...

She was very familiar with the First-grade Pavilion, as it was a famous shop on the Lingtian Continent. Every country and city had its own branch...

The First-grade Pavilion sold all kinds of medicinal materials, elixirs, weapons, cultivation methods, and beast eggs... Regardless of whether you wanted to buy or sell something, coming to the First-grade Pavilion would not be a mistake...

Unlike an auction house, which usually dealt in Earth Treasures and didn’t accept or sell just anything, the First-grade Pavilion could buy and sell elixirs, medicinal materials, Dark Stones, Dark Iron, spiritual beasts, spiritual beast eggs, various cultivation methods, and so on. You could sell anything here to make money and buy any cultivation resources you needed...

Mo Baobao had once sold several low-level cultivation methods she had gotten from Little Book at the First-grade Pavilion in Fengye City. Those methods, which were considered garbage by Little Book, fetched her a lot of gold coins...

The currency exchange in the Lingtian Continent was set up like this: 100 copper coins = 1 silver coin, 100 silver coins = 1 gold coin, 100 gold coins = 1 low-grade Dark Stone, 100 low-grade Dark Stones = 1 mid-grade Dark Stone, 100 mid-grade Dark Stones = 1 upper-grade Dark Stone, 100 upper-grade Dark Stones = 1 top-grade Dark Stone, and the annual living expenses for common people were around 100-200 gold coins...

Dark Stones not only served as currency but could also be used for cultivation. Therefore, most transactions were conducted in gold coins, even at auction houses, unless the seller of some special Earth Treasures had specific requirements for trading in Dark Stones...

”This is the largest trade center in Fengyun City. It’s well-stocked with items. Let’s go in and have a look.” Shangguan Che said.

”Alright.” Mo Jiuli nodded.

She was, of course, no stranger to the First-grade Pavilion. Any place that Baobao had visited, she had likely taken Baobao to herself. Couple that with her daughter’s particular fondness for places like this where money can be made, and Mo Jiuli was naturally more familiar with them...

She had to admit that when they were in Fengye City, she felt the owner of the First-grade Pavilion was very impressive to be able to manage branches all over the continent – a true business prodigy if put into a modern context...

This First-grade Pavilion in Fengyun City was much larger than the one in Fengye City, with four levels in total. The higher the level, the more precious the items...

As soon as Mo Jiuli and her party stepped into the hall on the first floor, an enthusiastic clerk came over to greet them. Shangguan Che told the clerk to wait on the side while they took their time looking around...

Mo Baobao had already jumped down from Xue Feng’s arms and was checking things out. Xue Feng didn’t need to be told by Mo Jiuli to follow closely behind Baobao to protect her...

Seeing Xue Feng by Baobao’s side, Mo Jiuli felt more at ease. She couldn’t see through Xue Feng’s strength, but with him there, no one should be able to harm Baobao. She started browsing around with Shangguan Che...

It never hurts to look around, even if she wasn’t lacking in anything...

After completing the tour of the first floor without finding anything of interest, they went up to the second floor...

Since Baobao and Xue Feng had gone up before Mo Jiuli and Shangguan Che, just as they reached the entrance of the second floor, Mo Jiuli heard Baobao’s childish voice say, ”I saw Xiaobai first, so why should I give it to you?”

”You cheeky girl, do you know who I am? You dare to compete with me for something; I think you don’t want to live anymore...” A domineering female voice sounded.

”Hmph, I don’t care who you are. I saw Xiaobai first, and I won’t give it to you...” Mo Baobao retorted fearlessly.

Xue Feng stood behind Baobao, not interfering, but the coldness in his eyes implied that if anyone dared to make a move, he would definitely throw them all out...

”Baobao, what’s going on?” Mo Jiuli asked with a smile as she came over.

”Mom, I saw Xiaobai first, but that aunt over there insisted I give it to her...” Baobao looked disdainfully at the purple-clad woman opposite her and reported to Mo Jiuli.

Mo Jiuli looked down at the Xiaobai Baobao was talking about. It turned out to be an injured little beast, a little snow fox to be precise. At that moment, it was lying listlessly in the cage, its eyes fixed on her precious daughter...
