“This world is full of undiscovered wonders, so when you saved me, was that…sorcery? Or was that magic? I’m not afraid of it—on the contrary, I’m curious. How did you manage to use such power? If you’re interested, we can cooperate more in the future. Of course, for someone like you who cherishes talent, the reward will also be very generous.” After eating, Liu Qingcang expressed his thoughts and then began to observe Yan Xin’s expression.
Yan Xin was not a person who valued worldly possessions very much. However, in order to fulfill the original goals the previous Yan Xin had set for her and remove the curse as soon as possible, the most important thing at hand was to have the magic power that she was best at to protect herself. In order to reach her previous state quickly, using magic potions to accumulate her magic was the best choice.
Hence, Yan Xin pondered over his words for a moment and said, “Cooperation is possible, but the reward you promised me last time…” Yan Xin hinted, rubbing her fingers.
Liu Qingcang laughed softly as he brought out a password-protected box and handed it to Yan Xin.
“The password is your birthday,” Liu Qingcang said after handing the box to Yan Xin, fixing her with a playful look.
However, Yan Xin obviously did not notice Liu Qingcang’s actions. Instead, she entered the password and quickly confirmed how much she had been paid. After spending some time getting to know this world, she was already roughly familiar with the prices of the goods here and had also found out where she could buy the materials she needed.
After receiving the money, Yan Xin did not move out of the Yan family because she wanted to spend all her money on buying a knife. Besides, she did not pay any heed to the Yan family’s repeated attacks to her, so she was not affected much.
In order to increase her magic power, Yan Xin took this pile of money with her and ran around the city for nearly a month before she managed to buy all the materials she needed. She also bought a chair made of cherry wood and made a few magic wands using its essence.
After everything was ready, Yan Xin began to refine medicine. Unfortunately, due to the lack of magic power in this world, the quality of the materials Yan Xin had found was not very high, so she was restricted to only making the simplest of potions. Even then, while she’d brewed up a hundred bottles of potion, only one was useable in the end.
To Yan Xin, who had once dominated the magic continent, this bottle of magic potion was the lowest possible grade of medicine; it wouldn’t be of much help to increase her magic power. However, in this world where technology was the main focus, this potion could pull a person who was about to die back from the brink of death.
At this moment, the materials that Yan Xin had bought had almost been used up. Holding the only bottle of refined potion, Yan Xin walked towards the Yan family house, both body and mind exhausted. Right now, the only thing she wanted was to have a good rest, but there were people who did not want her to have a good time.
“Oh my, our young miss has finally deigned to return to us! You made your sister so angry, yet we heard no apology from you, and you still want us to wait here for your arrival?!” The head of the Yan family had a few people waiting in the living room. When they saw Yan Xin enter, the Yan family’s mistress immediately started mocking her.
When Yan Zhen heard her mother’s words, she quickly wiped the corners of her eyes, pretending to pull on her mother’s sleeves. “Mother, don’t talk about my sister like that, she didn’t mean it!”
Mother Yan couldn’t bear to see her precious daughter’s tearful appearance, so she hugged Yan Zhen affectionately. Using her eyes, she sent a hint to the Yan family’s eldest young master to speak up for his sister.
The man in question, who had been sitting silently by the side, took the hint. When he saw that his beloved younger sister was actually angered to tears by the bastard Yan Xin, he instantly began to lash out at Yan Xin.
“You ingrate! Our family was kind enough to take you in, but what about you? Is this how you treat your saviors? Hurry and apologize to Little Zhen!”
Yan Xin didn’t want to tangle with them too much and was about to walk straight into the house.
Father Yan, who was sitting in the main seat, suddenly slammed the table heavily. “If I had known you were like this, I would have strangled you to death back then!” he shouted in anger.
“Our Yan family has preserved our reputation for generations, yet you completely disregarded that and us in front of everyone in that hotel filled with powerful people! You’re unfilial! Disloyal! Unrighteous!” Father Yan stood up, pointed at Yan Xin, who had already headed upstairs, and roared angrily..
