After Rebirth, My Fiancé Helps Me Avenge the Wicked Scum

Chapter 117: Acquiring a Pill Cauldron
“Xiao Tao, Master was wrong. I’ll apologize to you when we get back. Right now, I need to seek Brother He’s forgiveness.” Mengyu felt extremely guilty toward Xiao Tao. She had been thinking only of herself, had scolded it, and even blocked it out.
“Xiao Tao is a forgiving spirit. Master, I forgive you,” said Xiao Tao.
While Mengyu communicated with Xiao Tao, Cheng Jiuhe thought Mengyu was feeling unwell.
He patted Mengyu’s hair: “Ah, as long as you know your mistake, that’s good. Life comes only once, you must cherish it.”
Mengyu broke out in a cold sweat internally, thinking to herself that this was actually her second life.
Xiao He looked at Mengyu, then at Cheng Jiuhe, with confusion in his eyes.
Did something happen while he briefly fell asleep with his eyes closed?
Mengyu walked over, lifted Brother He’s eyelids to check, and then took his pulse—this was purely for practice, as she had learned from books but this was her first time taking a human pulse.
Nonetheless, the pulse she felt was like that of a healthy person, according to the books, only with a few sluggish beats, and then it seemed to flow smoothly again.
She said, “Your brother’s body is no longer in serious trouble. Because he has taken a Yuan Nourishing Pill, his body is now repairing some previous injuries. It’s good for him to sleep.”
Mengyu looked at Xiao He’s build, then turned to Cheng Jiuhe and said, “Brother, please carry him to the bed.”
Her strength was sufficient to carry a person, but after all, she was a girl, and it would probably be hard for Xiao He to carry his brother, so she called upon Brother Cheng.
Cheng Jiuhe, not at all displeased at being ordered around by his sister, came over and picked up the person like a baby, and asked Xiao He, “Which room?”
Xiao He hurriedly opened the door to his brother’s room: “Here.”
Cheng Jiuhe laid Brother He on the bed, then came out, took the bag filled with antiques from Xiao He with one hand, and with the other hand pulled Mengyu along to leave.
Xiao He chased after them and asked, “Sister Jiang, when will my brother wake up?”
Mengyu turned around: “He will wake up tomorrow morning. Also, if your sister-in-law and nephew have been infected by evil energy, they can take the antiques and find me. Plus, I’ll still be in B City for the next three days.”
“I live at—,” but seeing Cheng Jiuhe’s disapproving look, Mengyu quickly added, “The evil energy Brother He brought back from the tomb has been there for two days, so it’s particularly severe. Others have just been contaminated by Ming Dynasty items; it won’t take much effort to expel the evil energy. I can do it!”
Cheng Jiuhe felt helpless and patted Mengyu’s head: “You’re at a loss with this deal, using up three Yuan Nourishing Pills for just a few broken items, and still coming back?”
Cheng Jiuhe thought his sister had lost out. Yet Mengyu didn’t think she was at a disadvantage: “Brother, but my cultivation has also made a breakthrough.”
Meaning, her Yuan Nourishing Pills had not been wasted.
Furthermore, she felt she might have gained Merit Points, and her newly achieved Essence Gathering First Layer cultivation also seemed to have improved a bit.
“Alright, have it your way,” Cheng Jiuhe said, resigned.
Only then did Mengyu say to Xiao He, “We’ll come back for another visit tomorrow. If there’s anyone else who has been invaded by evil energy, let them wait for us at your house. However, it won’t be for free. Ah, as for the compensation, we can discuss that later.”
Xiao He hurriedly agreed. After hearing from Cheng Jiuhe that Mengyu had used up three Yuan Nourishing Pills, he now understood why Brother Cheng was dissatisfied with him.
Xiao He felt very guilty: “Sister Jiang, sorry, wait for me—”
Having said that, he ran back to his own room, and soon came out holding a cauldron: “For you, this is my favorite thing, it was a gift from my brother.”
