42.5 Detoxification

Barely making it back to the third auction house, Xuanmei watched as the auction begun, stumbling into the second floor, sitting in her private room.

Blue Pheonix flew in, landing on her head.

"The first item we have for auction, is..." Xuanmei dozed off by then.

"Sixth item, two tears of a goddess. It is extremely rare and-"

"Ten thousand taels!"

"Twenty thousand silvers!"

Watching the bidding war go on on the first floor, she waited it out on the second floor, away from all the noise.

"Thirty five thousand!"

"Fourteen thousand!"

"Fifteen thousand!"

Everyone went silent at that moment.

"Bluey, are those real?"

"Unfortunately, yes."

"Twenty thousand." Xuanmei called out calmly.

"Calling once," The auctioneer said

"Calling twice."

"Sold! You can now collect your item at the third floor."

Making her way into the third floor immediately, noting the different style of this auction, mostly due to what she did, she brought out two pouches of a hundred gold taels that she separated in her room, the equivalent of twenty thousand silver taels.

Counting the money, the auctioneer placed the solid tear droplets into a tiny box and passed the box into Xuanmei's hands before bidding her goodbye. (A: Bidding, get it? It's an auction house? Haha?)

"We have all the ingredients we need for our recipe."

"Is that so? Fine. We'll make the pill at night. It'll unlock an ability that will be unique to you, and only you, so it is pretty important. Do not mess it up."

Xuanmei nodded. "Don't worry. I'm ready to not mess it up."

"Glad to hear that. We'll check on the seeds that We- No, I, Planted- tonight too."

After saying so, Bluey glared at Xuanmei, frustrated that she didn't help.

Xuanmei shrugged, walking back into her inn and entering her Pagoda. Picking a few strawberries, she threw them at the tiny sheep that was freeloading. Instead of doing it any harm, however, the strawberries just bounced off of it's wooly body and dropped onto the floor.

Turning around and eating the strawberry, the tiny sheep munched on the grass, thinking about how maybe it's Mistress could make a cannon that shot food at it.

Eating a few strawberries, she felt her pores open up and black smoke coming out of her body.

"Detoxification? Even though I had already cleansed my meridians?"

(A: Okay. After today, I will be in another country as it's the holidays and I want to enjoy, not torture myself, so even if I am lazy, I will still write. Just expect later uploads like maybe a few hours later than usual.)

(It will still be posted on the days in which I will post, [of course,] but a bit later. Thank you for not torturing your writer and giving [it] decent rest.)

Yay! I'mma enjoy my holidays.

(I will update you guys on if, again, there are any changes to schedule and I might just let loose and just, like, publish all of my drafts in one day. Maybe.)
