Chapter 1216 This potion is very precious.
Ying stood aside, watching the three of them suddenly start talking about "there's no fresh water to bathe in at sea," and she couldn't help but laugh and cry.
She originally came to arrange bathing, so how did the topic suddenly veer off course?
So she clapped her hands lightly to attract their attention.
"Alright, alright, we're all ashore now, let's not talk about the hardships at sea anymore."
"Now that we have hot water and clean clothes, the most important thing is to take a shower and relax."
Ye Lan and Bei Dou then remembered their business and stopped worrying about the hair. They nodded and followed Ying toward the door.
But just then, Beidou suddenly stopped, remembering something important.
"Speaking of the sea, I suddenly remembered something. The food supplies on the Death Star are almost gone, and the crew is still waiting for news from us in the nearby waters."
"Miss Ying, do you know if there's a proper port near Nata? We need to send a ship to resupply some supplies."
As soon as she finished speaking, she suddenly raised her hand and slapped her head, her face showing annoyance, and her tone became urgent.
"No, no, how could I forget the most important thing! Has Nata issued an arrest warrant for Ningguang yet? If we go to the port to replenish our supplies... is it safe?"
Looking at the cautious Beidou, Shao Yun said with a dashing air:
"Don't worry, if it weren't for you, we still wouldn't know what happened in Liyue, let alone any wanted notices."
"Besides, even if there's an arrest warrant, I can just tear it up for you!"
Seeing how much influence Shao Yun had in Nata, Beidou immediately understood why Ningguang was so determined to seek refuge in Nata.
"Damn! So that's why Ningguang insisted on seeking refuge in Nata despite the danger. Turns out you're such a powerful 'local bully' in Nata!"
"With you protecting her, no wonder she was so sure this place was safe!"
Hearing Hokuto's感慨 (gǎnkǎi, deep feelings), Ying, who was standing to the side, muttered to herself, "It's more than just a local bully... Vulcan 'Mavika' almost became my 'sister' before..."
……
Afterwards, Ye Lan and Bei Dou followed Ying up to the second floor. Looking at the neatly arranged bedrooms on both sides of the corridor, they secretly admired the excellent living conditions of Shao Yun's family.
Each bedroom has an ensuite bathroom; you can choose any bedroom with an ensuite bathroom.
Ye Lan chose a bedroom near the stairwell (Shao Yun and Ying's bedroom) and used the ensuite bathroom to take a shower.
She thanked Ying and then closed the door, finally able to wash away the fatigue and dishevelment of the journey.
Beidou chose the adjacent bedroom (an empty room), and soon the two women began to enjoy a hot bath.
After Ying went downstairs, she ran into Shao Yun, who was waiting for her.
Shao Yun casually asked, "By the way, Ying, which room did you settle Ningguang in?"
Ying pointed to the stairs leading to the second floor and said calmly, "Shen He's room."
Upon hearing this, Shao Yun frowned and sighed subconsciously.
"I'm starting to regret building such a small house now. I should have built more rooms."
As he spoke, he was already planning to expand the ranch in his mind.
"How about we turn the vegetable garden outside into a separate outbuilding in a few years? This house is really not big enough."
"It's perfect timing. When our daughter grows up, if she doesn't want to live with us, we can move her to a side room. It's convenient and gives her some privacy."
Ying could see Shao Yun's dissatisfaction with occupying Shen He's room, but there was nothing she could do. She could only patiently explain:
“I know you’re unhappy about taking up Shen He’s room, but we can’t just leave Ning Guang in the cold basement, can we? She’s so weak right now, she needs to be taken good care of!”
“I’ve already spoken to Shen He, and she agreed. I’ll help her take care of the baby these next few days as compensation, so don’t worry about it.”
Seeing Ying's serious expression, Shao Yun's dissatisfaction instantly vanished. He deliberately ruffled Ying's hair and teased her:
"Let me guess, you don't really want to make it up to Shen He, you just want to hug that piece of flesh that came from you more often, right?"
Ying slapped Shao Yun's hand away and complained irritably:
"Get lost! If you have time to tease me, you should go see Ningguang and see if you can help her cure her voice."
Seeing that Shao Yun didn't seem to care about the matter, Ying added seriously.
“This is an order! I know you have a grudge against Ningguang, but she's in trouble and has come to our house. She's a guest, so we should at least help her out, right? We can't just watch her suffer.”
Seeing that Ying was really serious, Shao Yun gave her an awkward and inappropriate salute.
"Yes, sir! My Lord Ying."
……
Inside Shen He's room.
But now, this space, which originally belonged to Shen He, has become a guest room for entertaining guests.
Ningguang lay quietly on the bed, wearing a large white bathrobe, which made her already pale face look even thinner.
It's worth mentioning that Ningguang's white bathrobe belongs to Shen He...
There was nothing she could do; Shen He was the only one in the family with an adult female physique, so Ningguang had to wear her bathrobe...
Although it's somewhat lenient, it's the best option right now.
With a creak, the door was gently pushed open, and Shao Yun walked in, going straight to Ning Guang, who was fast asleep on the bed.
Immediately afterwards, Shao Yun put his hands on his hips and teased, "You woman, you really know how to pick a place."
"They traveled all the way from Liyue to my house to seek refuge, ate my food, slept in Shenhe's bed, and now they're even wearing Shenhe's clothes. They're not being polite at all."
He walked to the bedside, leaned over to look at Ningguang's face, then pursed his lips and continued to mutter under his breath.
"When you wake up, shouldn't I settle accounts with you and ask you for some money for the room and food? I can't let you eat and stay for free."
As soon as she finished speaking, whether Ningguang had truly taken it to heart or was simply coughing reflexively because of a sore throat, it was unclear.
"Cough cough..."
Shao Yun thought Ning Guang had overheard his teasing, so he touched his nose and his tone softened instantly.
"Oh, you're taking this seriously? I was just joking."
"Speaking of which, our past grievances have long been settled. Now that you've fallen on hard times and come to me for help, I can't very well turn you away."
"Of course, even if I really wanted to turn you away and throw you outside to feed the dragons, Ying wouldn't allow it..."
As he spoke, Shao Yun raised his hand to rub his forehead and said helplessly, "Never mind, seeing how pitiful you look, I won't make fun of you anymore."
Then Shao Yun thought to himself, "Hey you, I'm not a professional doctor, and Kui might not be able to cure Ningguang's voice. Can you give me some advice on how to treat it?"
As soon as he finished speaking, a system prompt popped up, listing two options.
[First, let the Apocalypse Horse's "War" roast Ningguang half to death, then let "Plague" activate its healing ability to restore her; second, give Ningguang a bottle of your "Miracle Tonic."]
Shao Yun looked at the two proposals and his lips twitched.
The first option is too risky. Last time, Chaska even smelled like roasted meat. If things go wrong, Ningguang might end up as a "roasted man." He dares not take that risk.
In comparison, the second option is clearly much more reasonable, although it is quite troublesome to make...
Shao Yun took out a "miracle supplement with special effects," and unconsciously recalled what the black doctor in Rhodes Town had said when he first received the medicine.
"Give him a dose of this medicine, and he can be healthy every day. Hopefully, this stuff can really cure your hoarse voice caused by poisoning."
Then, Shao Yun bent down, pried open Ning Guang's mouth, and looked at her helpless appearance, a hint of regret on his face, and muttered to himself.
"This potion is extremely precious. Making it is so laborious it could kill you. You're just lucky to have met such a kind person like me who's willing to give it to you."
"If it weren't for Ying's sake, I wouldn't bother with this. But my wife's words are orders, so I can't help it."
"Ningguang, Ningguang, you are truly blessed with good fortune in this life."
After muttering the words, he held the bottle of "miracle supplement" to Ningguang's mouth and poured all the liquid inside down her throat.
After doing all this, he gently closed Ningguang's mouth.
After drinking the potion, Ningguang, half-asleep, showed no obvious reaction. She lay quietly, breathing steadily, as if nothing had happened.
The system prompt pops up again.
[Ningguang's current peripheral core health, stamina, and mental state are at their best, but her core values are in the red, requiring proper rest.]
……
Shao Yun gently closed the door to Shen He's bedroom and bumped into Ying, who had clearly been waiting for a long time.
"Honey, how's Ningguang? Is her throat any better?"
When Ying saw Shao Yun come out, she inquired about Ning Guang's condition, and her gaze unconsciously glanced towards the bedroom door.
Looking at Ying, who cared so much about Ningguang, Shao Yun helplessly spread his hands, indicating that he had done his best.
"I don't know. I'm not a professional doctor, you know."
Seeing that her husband said so, Yingyan breathed a sigh of relief, realizing that there must be no problem, and asked what to do next.
"Okay, I understand. So what are you planning to do next?"
Shao Yun held up three fingers and began to list the remaining tasks one by one.
“There are three things to take care of now. First, I want to take you to the Suspended Wood People tribe to find Chief Vaina and register us.”
"In this way, the Suspended Wood tribe can take care of the household garbage and our daughter's future education, saving us the trouble."
He paused, withdrew one finger, and continued, "The second thing, which Beidou just mentioned to us, is that the food on her Death Star is almost gone."
"The crew is still waiting in the nearby waters. If we don't replenish our supplies soon, they'll go hungry. I'm thinking about whether I should help them out."
"The third thing is to clarify my relationship with Ningguang, Yelan, and the other two with Kinich!"
"I don't want his big yellow lizard to mistake me for someone who can't control himself and has romantic entanglements outside of marriage. It's a matter of my lifelong reputation!"
