Quick Transmigration: Pangu is Actually My Brother

Chapter 158 Shao Bai (7)

Ye Dingzhi breathed a sigh of relief when he saw Wangyou turn her head to tease Little Apple. He couldn't help but touch his scalp, feeling a cool sensation on the top of his head.

The two traveled leisurely, enjoying the scenery along the way, and finally arrived at Tianqi City. They then found an inn that was relatively close to the school and settled down there.

"I have a feeling that Tianqi City is about to experience a storm!" Wangyou said, opening the window and looking at the street.

"Perhaps, after all, I am also one of those caught in the storm!" Ye Dingzhi said with a smile.

"Add me to the list, but I'm still very curious about when Mr. Li from the academy will appear!" Wangyou said, her tone filled with eagerness.

"As long as we are in Tianqi City, we will always run into each other."

"That's true. There's no rush. Why don't you come shopping with me?"

"it is good!"

The two set off immediately. As usual, Wangyou saw a candied hawthorn vendor and each bought a skewer. "Let's go to that Wanbaoge store and browse around. I think I should get some jewelry."

"Let's go!"

The name Wanbaoge is well-deserved; it truly has everything imaginable.

"Ye Dingzhi, which of these two hairpins do you think is prettier?" Wangyou held up two hairpins, one a blue phoenix hairpin carved from the finest mutton fat jade, and the other a begonia hairpin carved from blood jade.

"This one is a blue phoenix!" Ye Dingzhi said solemnly after looking at it for a long time.

"Oh, shopkeeper, I want this crabapple blossom!" Wangyou said, turning to the shopkeeper.

Ye Dingzhi's eyes widened. "You've already made your choice, why are you asking me?"

"Isn't that blue phoenix one pretty?"

"They're both beautiful. I was just asking you to eliminate some options. When choosing clothes and hairpins, it's usually the opposite of what you men choose." Wangyou lowered her head and started looking at other jewelry.

After hearing Wangyou's explanation, Ye Dingzhi was speechless, but he still had to stay with her.

“I think this jade pendant suits you quite well, shopkeeper, wrap this up too!” Wangyou said, holding up a piece of green jade pendant at Ye Dingzhi’s waist.

"Alright!" The shopkeeper was very happy. After all, Wanbaoge was famous for its products, and this girl was picking the best ones. She had a very discerning eye.

Suddenly, Wangyou stopped, staring intently at the half jade pendant for a long time.

"Wangyou, what's wrong?" Ye Dingzhi asked when he saw Wangyou staring blankly for a long time.

"Shopkeeper, where is the other half of this jade pendant?"

"How did this jade pendant end up here!" The shopkeeper was taken aback. "This jade pendant isn't worth much; it was supposed to be disposed of. The clerk probably took the wrong one."

"I'll take them all!" Wangyou gripped the jade pendant tightly, her eyes filled with a mixture of emotions and indifference.

"Young lady, wouldn't you like to pick out some earrings or other jewelry?"

"No thanks!" Wangyou casually took out a silver note to pay the bill, then hurriedly walked out with the jade pendant in her hand.

Before Ye Dingzhi could even react, he saw that Wangyou had left behind the hairpins and bracelets she had chosen. He quickly told the shopkeeper to pack them up and then hurried after her.

Ye Dingzhi chased after her and saw Wangyou standing at the door waiting for her. By this time, Wangyou had already calmed down.

"We're out, let's go back, I'm a little hungry!"

Are you alright?

"What could possibly happen to me? Let's go!"

Ye Dingzhi didn't see the other half of the jade pendant again, and he was too embarrassed to ask about it.

The two stayed at the inn for a few days, and then they heard that the school's big exam was about to begin. Ye Dingzhi and Wangyou went too. After all, for Ye Dingzhi, this would allow him to get closer to his goal faster, and for Wangyou, it would allow her to enjoy the excitement.

The first day's exam was simple; candidates only needed to showcase their best skills. This competition wasn't limited to eating, drinking, or having fun—basically anything was acceptable.

What are you planning to choose?

"Let's have some barbecue. We can eat it when the time is up," Ye Dingzhi said with a smile.

"That makes sense. Then I'll make the poison; that's what I'm best at!"

"Could this poison a whole group of people?" Ye Dingzhi whispered in Wangyou's ear.

"Don't insult my drug-making skills!" Wangyou said, rolling her eyes.

Ye Dingzhi was relieved.

"It's you!" Baili Dongjun saw the two approaching.

"Long time no see!" Ye Dingzhi was slightly embarrassed.

"Will your uncle still poison me? If he does, I'd be very happy to!" Wangyou said with a smile.

Baili Dongjun felt embarrassed, after all, he was less skilled than others first, and his uncle was less skilled than others later, but he couldn't blame others for this.

"I apologize to you on behalf of my uncle!" Baili Dongjun solemnly cupped his hands in apology.

"Then I'll reluctantly accept it!" Wangyou smiled, and the group reconciled with a laugh.

Now all we have to do is wait for the match to begin.

The things everyone wanted were brought one after another, and the medicinal herbs that Wangyou needed were also brought quickly.

It turns out that Baili Dongjun actually plans to brew wine. It seems that his winemaking skills must be very good, otherwise he wouldn't be so confident.

Wangyou slowly processed the medicinal herbs, then threw them into the earthenware jar.

"Can you tell what she's trying to do?"

"Could it be some kind of ointment? But if it's an ointment, is six hours really enough?"

"Judging from the order in which she dispenses the medication, it's impossible to tell what kind of medication she's going to administer."

"Then let's wait patiently. We'll know when the results come out."

Wangyou's movements were incredibly slow, and all of them exuded a nonchalant air, making viewers feel sleepy.

After putting all the medicinal herbs into the earthenware jar, Wangyou took a fan and fanned the fire intermittently, while she herself squinted her eyes as if she had fallen asleep.

But those waving hands proved that the person was indeed awake.

"Ahhh, why am I suddenly so sleepy!" Lei Mengsha yawned involuntarily.

"No, stop staring at her movements, she'll distract us!" the ugly young master wearing a black hood said seriously.

Now, none of the people above were watching Wangyou anymore, but there were still quite a few people below keeping an eye on her.

After all, although her face hadn't fully matured, it already possessed a captivating beauty. Lust is human nature; those above might remind her, but those below couldn't.

Therefore, before the competition was even a third of the way through, half of the people below were asleep. Ye Dingzhi glanced at Wangyou, subtly trying to block his gaze from being directed at her.

The men exchanged glances and decided to have someone wake the sleeping person.

"Beauty is a curse!" a fat, dark-skinned man muttered to himself, then felt something being thrown into his mouth.

"Ugh!" The fat man scratched for a long time, but couldn't get anything out.

But after a short while, the man's mouth suddenly started to rot. It didn't rot anywhere else; in just fifteen minutes, his mouth became so rotten that it was unbearable to look at.

Wangyou stretched and then opened the medicine jar. The ointment had already solidified. Afterward, Wangyou extinguished the fire in both jars and waited for them to cool down.

When will your roast lamb leg be ready?

"It'll be a long time!"

"Okay, I'll sleep a little longer then." Wangyou yawned and simply propped her cheek up with one hand and fell asleep.

At this point, both people on either side of Ye Dingzhi were asleep, leaving Ye Dingzhi helpless.
