Let me Touch your Tail

Chapter 109

The next day, the Roc bird brought Yan Zhao to seek out Nangong Yin for the bead.

After knocking on the door with no response, Yan Zhao appeared puzzled and asked the little fox, "Could it be that Ah Yin took my bead and ran off, not planning to return it to me?"

The little fox: "......"

That's not likely; perhaps she's just not in the room.

"This won't do." Yan Zhao muttered, raising her hand to knock on the door again.

In her urgency, she knocked with some force, causing the door to bang loudly.

This time, she heard a faint noise from inside the room.

Soon, the door opened on its own. Yan Zhao entered the room with the little fox in her arms and saw Nangong Yin sitting by the bed in a robe, looking like she had just woken up.

Yan Zhao wrinkled her nose and said, "Why are you only getting up now?"

"......" Nangong Yin rubbed her forehead. Although she looked like she had slept a lot, in reality, she hadn't had a chance to rest all night and was feeling particularly exhausted at the moment.

Yan Zhao walked up to her and extended her hand: "The bead."

Nangong Yin silently took out the small golden bead and handed it to Yan Zhao.

Only then did Yan Zhao feel relieved and, with a touch of pride, said, "I got up an hour earlier than you."

Nangong Yin smiled and complimented her: "You're great."

Yan Zhao, satisfied, was about to leave the room when she suddenly remembered something and turned to ask Nangong Yin: "Did you see my mother?"

Nangong Yin lifted her gaze, her tone particularly gentle: "Yes."

Yan Zhao was curious: "Did she do anything strange to you?"

"?" Nangong Yin's heart skipped a beat, feeling a bit flustered but maintaining a calm exterior, "Why do you ask?"

Yan Zhao held up her fingers: "She keeps pretending to be a ghost to scare me, saying she's researching new recipes, and then makes all sorts of strange things for me to eat. It's quite troublesome."

The little fox glanced up at Yan Zhao: Aren't you worried your mother will find out what you're saying?

"......" Nangong Yin awkwardly cleared her throat, her gaze evasive, "No."

Yan Zhao sighed: "So it turns out my mother only behaves like this with me."

Nangong Yin handed Yan Zhao a zither: "I still need to practice for a while. You can go play by yourself."

Distracted by this, Yan Zhao took the zither and left the small courtyard.

After Yan Zhao left, Nangong Yin summoned Jiang Ying.

"Master," Jiang Ying knelt on one knee, her gaze lowered, not noticing anything unusual about the master's demeanor today.

Nangong Yin spoke in her usual tone: "Go to the Medicine God Sect and ask Lord Medicine God to help me refine a Bone Reconstitution Pill."

Jiang Ying looked up in shock: "Bone Reconstitution Pill?"

This was a type of pill that could reshape bones and allow severed limbs to regrow, comparable in grade to the Life-Rebirth Pill and Bone Essence Pill.

After a moment of stunned silence, Jiang Ying was overjoyed: "Master, have you finally come to your senses?"

Nangong Yin responded淡淡ly, waving her hand: "Go."
