Chapter 2864

Qian Huansheng had stayed in the Underworld for a while and felt it was time to go out for a walk.

"Emperor Yan, Empress Yan." Qian Huansheng never considered himself a third wheel, no matter how good the couple’s relationship was. He just came straight to the point.

"Qian Huansheng, what brings you to the Underworld?" Yan Aohan looked at him with clear disdain. In his heart, anyone disturbing him and his wife was annoying.

Qian Huansheng glanced at him. "You have the nerve to ask? I went to face a tribulation, but that place had no proper City God or Earth God. Your Underworld’s entrance there became my 'Fated Coffee Shop,' and I ended up working for you for free."

"Didn't Zhan Diting send you medicine yesterday?" Yan Aohan said directly. "Have you got amnesia?"

"My price as a True God is too low. How can that little bit of medicine suffice?" Qian Huansheng stated.

"What else do you want?" Yan Aohan didn’t believe Qian Huansheng was just visiting.

"Ask your Empress. The Medical Emperor needs a Marrow-Cleansing Pill," Qian Huansheng said.

Zhu Yanyi stepped forward. "A Marrow-Cleansing Pill is useful for some cultivators, but it’s not particularly rare. Why ask me for this?"

Qian Huansheng looked proud. "I’m doing this for the Underworld. I found someone with a natural Yin-Yang constitution. I passed on the Heavenly Master inheritance Emperor Yan gave me last time. She memorized it after just one look. The only downside is she’s twenty-five, so she’s past the best age to start cultivating."

Hearing this, Zhu Yanyi understood immediately. "Indeed, while twenty-five-year-olds can cultivate, they lack innate Qi. Innate Qi is most concentrated in the womb. Starting cultivation between five and seven years old allows the body to use this Qi perfectly. At twenty-five, without innate Qi, a Marrow-Cleansing Pill is indeed necessary."

Zhu Yanyi tossed two bottles to Qian Huansheng. "The ceramic bottle contains one Marrow-Cleansing Pill. The jade bottle holds a drop of Spirit Liquid. Have her take the pill first to remove all impurities from her body, then give her the Spirit Liquid to restore her body to its optimal innate state."

"Thank you." Qian Huansheng took them and said to Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi, "I won’t disturb the Emperor and Empress anymore. Farewell." He left immediately.

"So rushed. When did Qian Huansheng become so hasty?" Yan Aohan remarked casually.

Zhu Yanyi’s eyes lit up. "Husband, we know Qian Huansheng’s personality best. Have you ever seen her come specifically to beg for a Marrow-Cleansing Pill for someone?"

"You mean the person with the Yin-Yang constitution is Qian Huansheng’s tribulation?" Yan Aohan realized.

"Let’s not jump to conclusions yet. But we can finish our work quickly and go watch the drama at Qian Huansheng’s place," Zhu Yanyi said confidently.

Yan Aohan gave Zhu Yanyi a thumbs-up. "Wife, you’re absolutely right. Let’s finish things here quickly and go find Qian Huansheng."

Qian Huansheng had no idea that asking for a single pill would attract two spectators.

Qian Huansheng returned to the Fated Coffee Shop. It had been just over a day since he left. He entered his practice chamber, looked around, and then walked out.

Not seeing Cheng Jin in the lobby, he asked Old Ma, "Old Ma, where is Cheng Jin?"

"Little Cheng is in the kitchen, Boss. You forgot, Little Cheng makes a pastry every afternoon as the limited edition treat for the evening," Old Ma explained.

Qian Huansheng nodded and turned toward the kitchen.

Cheng Jin was busy making pastries. She loved this work. As a child, she had dreamed of becoming a pastry chef. However, becoming a chef required more than just sweat; it required money for learning and practice fees. Cheng Jin had no money, so she learned by stealing knowledge while working part-time jobs and later by following online tutorials.

Now, at this coffee shop, there were customers who liked her pastries. Although they were all spirits, Cheng Jin felt it was fine, so she made a little every day.

Qian Huansheng arrived and saw Cheng Jin’s focused expression. She seemed entirely absorbed in her work, unaware of the person at the door.

People often said that a serious woman is the most charming. Qian Huansheng had seen countless women of all types, but at this moment, she felt none compared to the woman before her. Cheng Jin wasn’t exceptionally beautiful, yet Qian Huansheng found her to be the most moving woman she had ever seen.

His heart stirred. He took a slight deep breath, suppressing the involuntary admiration.

Cheng Jin sensed someone, looked up, and was slightly stunned. "Boss."

Qian Huansheng nodded slightly. "Come to my practice chamber when you’re done. I have something to discuss with you."

Cheng Jin said "Oh." She didn’t think much of it. Recently, whenever Qian Huansheng had matters involving spirits, she would call her.

Seeing Cheng Jin agree, Qian Huansheng turned back to his practice chamber.

Cheng Jin tilted her head, thought for a moment, then shook her head and focused back on her pastries.

Two hours later, Cheng Jin finished her pastries and went to Qian Huansheng’s practice chamber.

"Boss, did you call me because there’s another job?" Although Cheng Jin knew her cultivation was low, she was willing to go since she received payment for exorcising demons and spirits.

Qian Huansheng looked at Cheng Jin and said, "You are twenty-five, and your cultivation progress is slow. I have a Marrow-Cleansing Pill here. Take it."

Qian Huansheng tossed the Marrow-Cleansing Pill to Cheng Jin.

Cheng Jin caught it, looked at the bottle, and opened it. A thick yet fresh medicinal scent instantly filled the entire practice chamber.

"By the way, taking the Marrow-Cleansing Pill will transform you, so the process will be painful. Remember to endure it," Qian Huansheng said.

Cheng Jin said "Oh." Seeing Qian Huansheng’s calm expression, she assumed the pain would be bearable.

However, when Cheng Jin felt the pain, like bones being scraped, so intense that she couldn’t even speak, she wanted to curse.

Damn… Is this just a little painful? It hurts more than giving birth!
