Chapter 226
Elena the Landlady’s Invitation_3 As Cao Xing was about to return to the tavern,
he happened to pass by the shop where he had bought food supplies the day before yesterday.
After a moment’s thought, Cao Xing decided to go in and purchase some other supplies.
After all, he now had money, with hundreds of thousands of crowns in his pocket, he could spend freely.
The innkeeper Elena was leaning her head on the counter, devoid of energy.
Upon seeing Cao Xing walk in, her eyes lit up immediately.
She quickly stood up from the counter and ran briskly to Cao Xing’s side.
She laughed softly and said, “Master, you’re here again?”
Cao Xing sensed a light fragrance coming, not knowing what perfume Elena was using.
He nodded, “Yes, innkeeper, I’ve come to buy some supplies.”
Elena was immediately overjoyed; she naturally took Cao Xing’s arm, pressing his hand tightly under her armpit.
A soft sensation came from between his arm.
Cao Xing tilted his head to look; today, Elena wore a white shawl and simple casual clothes.
It perfectly showcased her full and slightly voluptuous figure, making her seem mature and charming.
Holding Cao Xing’s arm, Elena laughed again, “Master, are you here to buy grain today?”
Cao Xing shook his head and said, “Not today, the grain I bought last time is enough for us to eat for a while.”
“I wanted to ask if you have any other vegetable seeds; I want to buy some to plant at home.”
Hearing this, a thoughtful look flashed in Elena’s beautiful eyes.
Then, she nodded lightly, “Master, you’re here at the right time. I’ve indeed just received a new batch of seeds, including carrots, spinach, beets, garlic, and so on.”
“I wonder, which kind do you need?”
Elena said as half her body leaned against Cao Xing, as if whispering in his ear.
Cao Xing pondered, “Give me a bag of each kind.”
“Alright, Master~”
Elena readily agreed, “However, Master, besides these ordinary vegetable seeds, I also got a new batch of magic plant seeds. Are you interested?”
“Magic seeds?”
Elena nodded, “A few days ago, some hunters went hunting in the Borialis Mountains and accidentally found them in the mountains. It’s said to be the seed of a magic plant: Spirit Breath Grass.”
“I said I’m just a grain shop owner and had no use for them, but they insisted and forced them on me.”
“I thought, we’re all from the same village, and life in this icy snow is tough, so I accepted them, but they still haven’t been sold.”
After Elena finished speaking, Cao Xing nodded.
Although he did not know what the Spirit Breath Grass was for, since it was a magic plant, it must have extraordinary properties.
So, Cao Xing said, “Alright, bring them together and let me have a look.”
Hearing this, Elena smiled even more brightly, “Master, please sit by the stove for a moment, and I’ll get the seeds for you~”
With that, Elena supported Cao Xing as they walked towards the fireplace.
Cao Xing sat down by the stove, while Elena left and walked inside the shop, leaving Cao Xing with a view of her back.
As she walked, her hips swayed, her round behind moved slightly, fully displaying her charm.
However, she took a little longer this time, taking three to four minutes to come out.
To Cao Xing’s surprise, when Elena reappeared, she had changed into a form-fitting cheongsam.
Her face had a light makeup.
Under the candlelight in the shop, Elena’s figure was fully showcased by the form-fitting cheongsam.
At this moment, Elena moved her long legs gracefully, walking towards him, her white thighs swaying tantalizingly before Cao Xing’s eyes.
Then, she sat down opposite Cao Xing, her hands smoothing over her hips as she gently arranged her clothes.
She handed Cao Xing a cloth bag.
“Master, the carrot and beet seeds are already at the warehouse door, each bag contains more than three thousand seeds. I brought the Spirit Breath Grass seeds for you to see?”
Cao Xing nodded and took the cloth bag from Elena’s hand.
Although light in weight, inside were at least dozens of seeds.
He took out one green-tinged seed and glanced at its attribute.
[Spirit Breath Grass Seed (Green): Magic Plant]
[Plant in soil rich in life force, water it regularly with Spiritual Spring Water, and it will grow rapidly.]
(Note: Spirit Breath Grass contains weak life force and is one of the main ingredients for making Life Secret Medicine.)
…
Seeing the notes in the system, Cao Xing’s pupils instantly widened in shock.
This was actually one of the main ingredients for making Life Secret Medicine!
He had planned to use Life Secret Medicine instead of beast meat to trade for players’ supplies.
Although he had not yet obtained the recipe, preparing the materials in advance would be crucial.
Seeing Cao Xing’s gaze, Elena immediately knew he was interested.
She leaned forward, resting her chin on her hand.
The heavy softness on her chest pressed against the wooden table, appearing rather exaggerated.
Elena chuckled and said, “Master, are these magic plant seeds useful to you?”
Cao Xing nodded, “They are indeed useful, Lady Elena.”
“I want this batch of seeds; please name your price.”
Hearing the price, Elena chuckled again.
At that moment, Cao Xing suddenly felt a spirit snake-like long leg under the table that rested on his knee.
Then, it traveled upwards along his thigh.
Cao Xing raised his head and looked at Elena, only to find an endless charm in her eyes.
Her gaze seemed capable of stealing one’s soul.
