SHOCKING VENOMOUS CONSORT: FRIVOLOUS MISS
4. What Story Is Inside?

...🌯🌯🌯...

The little fox stood in its original position, staring at Ling Chuxi's back, and a silver light flashed across his black eyes, but it instantly disappeared.

Ling Chuxi did not turn around and look at such a strange sight, but rubbed her stomach in satisfaction, burped and casually left, ready to go home.

However, after walking by the river for some time, Ling Chuxi suddenly stretched out her hand to touch her face and suddenly exclaimed.

'Almost forgot about an important issue. I was so busy looking for meat to eat and forgot to pick herbs to save this face.'

The poison in his body was not serious, just gathering a few ordinary herbs was enough. Ling Chuxi lowered her head to search seriously.

However, in this deep autumn, herbs were not easy to find. He needed three different herbs, but after searching everywhere, he could not even find them.

It seemed like he could only go to the medical hall to take a look. But, the biggest problem is — money! How to buy potions without money?

Even though the herbs were very ordinary, they still needed money, okay? He is currently poor.

'Eh? What'sis this?' Ling Chuxi noticed there were some gray mushrooms under the big tree.

'Looked quite familiar, it looks like a Ghost Mushroom? Why is there a Ghost Mushroom here?'

Ling Chuxi rushed over excitedly, afraid that someone would appear and snatch them. This Ghost Mushroom is not a delicacy, but rather a type of poisonous mushroom that can cause people to hallucinate.

However, this poisonous mushroom does not cause illusions when eaten, but rather creates a powerful illusion when inhaled after being dried and ground into powder. This is something good!

Ling Chuxi did not say a word and crouched down to pick it up. After choosing the first one, an insect crept out and he threw it away in disdain.

After thinking, Ling Chuxi had a premonition that this Ghost Mushroom would definitely be very useful.

How strange, why are there such good things as Ghost Mushroom here?

Ling Chuxi greedily looked around and only gave up after making sure that there was nothing left.

With this delay, by the time he got home, it was already noon. As he stepped into the door, Aunt Wang hurriedly greeted him with a face full of worry.

“Nona, where did you go? I'm so worried about you. You said you went to the place of the Second Elder, but just now the Second Elder stopped by and said he never saw you. Miss, where you went, you really worried me to death. Did Miss Qin Yumei bully you? Miss, are you okay? Did something happen to you.”.

"Wait, wait!" Ling Chuxi almost fainted after blurting out a series of words.

Why did he never know Aunt Wang was so long-winded last time?

"Miss, the Second Elder is already waiting for you inside." Aunt Wang carefully examined Ling Chuxi and after determining that there was nothing wrong with Ling Chuxi, she heaved a sigh of relief and spoke.

"Oh. Aunt Wang, have you all eaten?” Ling Chuxi looked inside and indeed saw an old man sitting inside the house. It was the second elder of the – Ling Zhishan clan.

"Yet. We are waiting for you to come back to eat together. Second Elder brought you quite a lot of stuff.” Aunt Wang said happily.

"okay." Ling Chuxi simply replied and went inside the house. In his memory, the second elder was someone who was very kind and always looked after Ling Chuxi.

However, he was the second elder of the clan, and an alchemist. He was very busy and hence could not take care of Ling Chuxi in all aspects.

Ling Chuxi had previously had a weak personality, and never dared to tell the second elder that he was being bullied.

As he stepped to the door, the old man sitting in the hall turned around and said with a smile. Although he said that on the surface, his tone was not at all blame.

“I went looking for a place with good fengshui to cultivate, and enlightened.” Ling Chuxi said with a light laugh.

The second elder was stunned. Seeing Ling Chuxi's smile, he was completely stunned. It had been a long time since the last time he had seen Ling Chuxi smile like this. And this kind of mischievous tone, is this really Chuxi?

"Two~~ what did you bring me this time?" Ling Chuxi ran over with a smile on her face, and sat down beside the second elder.

"Little chuxi, you .." the second elder has yet to recover from the daze.

“I was pushed into the water by Qin Yumei and almost drowned to death. I have found the answer, I will no longer be a coward. I won't let those people bully me like that anymore. I want to be stronger! I will work harder in my cultivation.”

Ling Chuxi's smile disappeared, replaced by a face full of determination staring at the second elder.

“However, Second Elder, do not pursue this matter. He won't admit it. Pursuing this matter would affect the relationship between the Ling family and the Qin family.”

The second elder was the first anger, then surprised and finally, grateful. The anger was because Qin Yumei actually dared to bully Ling Chuxi. Surprised by Ling Chuxi's powerful words that wanted to become stronger!

Grateful that Ling Chuxi did not make him pursue trouble with Qin Yumei. If this matter was pursued, it would indeed affect the relationship of the Qin family and the Ling family.

Especially at this critical moment, because the Ling family was no longer as great as before. It has been slowly weakening over the past few years. The Qin family and the Luo family had climbed the head of the Ling family.

If it continued, sooner or later the Ling family would be swallowed up. The Qin family's interest in having a marriage alliance had caused the Ling family, who had the weakest strength, to naturally feel extremely happy and full of anticipation.

"Little chuxi, you have been persecuted ..." the second elder lightly sighed after some time, and reached out to pat Ling Chuxi's head gently.

"It's okay. You also suffer, Second Elder.” Ling Chuxi looked at the white-haired second elder with a hint of lamentation. The second elder had always worried about the family clan matters, and had actually suffered.

"Come, little girl, let me check your pulse." The second elder stretched out his hand, showing his intention.

Ling Chuxi obediently extended her hand and let the second elder check her pulse. While checking his pulse, the second elder's forehead wrinkled, and a barely noticeable sense of frustration and disappointment flashed in his eyes. All of this was captured by the sensitive Ling Chuxi.

“Red bumps on your face are not serious. Watch your diet, and get more rest. Don't think too much. As you get older, they will recover naturally.”

The second elder put away his hand and convinced him. Towards the issue of Ling Chuxi's suppressed meridians, he did not say a word.

Obviously he didn't realize it. After checking his pulse, there must have been disappointment towards the results of his cultivation. No wonder, Ling Chuxi's current ability was indeed very bad.

However, the second elder known as the Little Sacred Hand in this city was actually unable to tell that the red lump on his face was caused by the fact that he had been poisoned?

For this matter, Ling Chuxi was in disbelief. If the second elder knew, why didn't he say it? What exactly is the story in it?

“Second Elder, when cultivating these two days, I kept feeling that my meridians were very dense. When the Battle Qi reached a certain meridian, they could no longer move. Why that?” Ling Chuxi asked as if she wanted to investigate.

The matter of his meridians being suppressed, Ling Chuxi wanted to know if the second elder was really unable to figure it out.

The second elder gently furrowed his brows, and his face was a little awkward. He answered softly after thinking.

“Little girl, being a hard worker will help you overcome your weaknesses. You have to work harder and there will be days where you will see success. Don't be lazy, remember to work hard.”

Indeed, the second elder was unable to realize that his meridians were completely suppressed. Instead he thought that he had low natural talent, using words like working hard to overcome weakness to comfort him.
