After Xue Fanxin closed the door and windows, she entered the space and lay on the comfortable bed to sleep. When she woke up, she did not want to get up. She casually took the thick menu and flipped through a few pages, thinking about how to make the dishes in it.
“The main ingredient of the Hundred Flowers Spirit Sauce is a hundred types of spirit flowers. The higher the grade of the spirit flower, the better, and the more aged it is, the better. It is brewed with spirit dew. What will happen if the spirit dew is replaced with divine spirit water?”
“But where can I find a hundred types of spirit flowers?”
Just as Xue Fanxin was worried about the spirit flowers, Ye Jiushang suddenly appeared. “If you want spirit flowers, the Nine Nether Holy Land has plenty. Forget about a hundred, even a thousand won’t be a problem.”
“Oh right, how could I have forgotten about the Nine Nether Holy Land? Ah Jiu, can you help me get a hundred types of spirit flowers? Because this is the first time I’m making them, there’s no need for high-grade spirit flowers. Just ordinary is fine. Their age doesn’t need to be too old either.” Xue Fanxin pounced on Ye Jiushang excitedly when she saw him. She could not wait to make the Hundred Flower Spirit Sauce.
Ye Jiushang caught the person who was pouncing on him and hugged her. “Alright, I’ll get it for you later.”
“Sure, sure! When the Hundred Flowers Spirit Sauce is made, you’ll be the first to taste it.”
“Then I’ll wait and eat it when it’s ready.”
“Just you wait. I’ll definitely make the Hundred Flowers Spirit Sauce.”
“I believe you can definitely do it. Something happened outside. Deal with it as you see fit. I’ll go deal with something else.” Ye Jiushang kissed Xue Fanxin’s forehead and left the space to do his own thing.
Xue Fanxin was already used to this way of interacting. She did not mind being kissed by Ye Jiushang at all. She put away the menu in her hand and went out to see what was going on outside.
At this moment, outside the door of the Purple Cloud Tower, a disheveled woman was clamoring to see Hai Feng and even called herself his younger sister.
This person was none other than the only Hai Lan who had escaped from the Hai family.
Ever since the Hai family was destroyed, everything in the Golden Sea Pavilion had been confiscated. The Hai family’s wealth that was comparable to that of a country’s was gone overnight.
Hai Lan had suffered greatly outside these few days. She could not eat her fill, could not dress well, and did not even have a place to sleep. She had been a rich missy who had grown up with a silver spoon in her mouth. When had she ever suffered like this?
She really could not bear such a bitter life, so when she found out that Hai Feng was in the Purple Cloud Tower, she came looking for him without a care.
What shocked her even more was that Gu Jinyuan was also in the Purple Cloud Tower.
Be it Hai Feng or Gu Jinyuan, as long as she caught one of them, she could escape from her misery.
Now that the Empress had already been imprisoned, she no longer had to worry about being pursued by the Empress’s people, so she could come to the Purple Cloud Tower openly to look for them.
“Why are you stopping me? Do you know who I am? Hai Feng is my brother and Gu Jinyuan is my fiancé. How dare you stop me? I’ll teach you a lesson later.
“Let me in. I want to find my brother and fiancé.”
No matter how Hai Lan shouted, the guards of the Purple Cloud Tower refused to let her in. Furthermore, there were quite a few people outside the Purple Cloud Tower. They had all gathered to watch the commotion and pointed at Hai Lan.
“This woman is really shameless. She must be crazy to want to climb up the ranks. Why doesn’t she think about it? Is the Purple Cloud Tower a place where she can behave atrociously?”
“What did she just say? Hai Feng is her elder brother and Gu Jinyuan is her fiancé. How ridiculous. Look at her. She’s even worse than a beggar, yet she still dares to climb up to her relatives.”
“I recognize her. She’s Hai Lan from the Hai family. In that case, Hai Feng is really her brother. However, saying that Gu Jinyuan is her fiancé is a little shameless. Didn’t she cancel the engagement some time ago? Furthermore, she ran over to cancel the engagement herself.”
When Hai Lan heard the discussions of the surrounding crowd, she was extremely angry, but she was not in the mood to care about this now. She only wanted to see Hai Feng and Gu Jinyuan.
Initially, she only wanted to win Gu Jinyuan back, but after learning that Hai Feng was in the Purple Cloud Tower, she changed her mind.
Back then, she had broken off the engagement so decisively that it was unlikely that Gu Jinyuan would care about her anymore. However, Hai Feng was different. Even if Hai Feng was only her cousin[1], he was also a member of the Hai family. Hai Feng would definitely not ignore her.
[1] Cousins from the father’s side of the family could be referred to as brothers or sisters.
