Dashing Student

Chapter 200 - 200, Swollen, Must Take Medicine

After deciding what to give, Chen Nan felt much more relaxed.

He pushed open the door of the guest bedroom and said to Xu Lu, "Sister Lu, don’t wait for me for lunch, just eat by yourself..."

Before he could finish his sentence, his voice abruptly stopped.

He looked at Xu Lu with a stunned expression on his face.

At that moment, Xu Lu was leaning against the headboard, legs parted, revealing that mysterious place that aroused longing, taking photos of her private parts with her phone.

Seeing Chen Nan push the door open, she instinctively squeezed her legs together, a touch of embarrassment coloring her face, and she said with panicked eyes, "It hurts a lot down there, I wanted to see if you made it swell..."

Chen Nan carefully asked, "Is it swollen?"

Xu Lu’s face was filled with grievance, "It’s even curled up."

"Cough cough, I promise to be gentler next time." Chen Nan was so embarrassed he wished he could crawl into a hole, also feeling that he had been a bit too rough before, not considering Xu Lu’s feelings—the reason she definitely wouldn’t be curled up otherwise.

With that thought,

he picked up his phone and transferred ten thousand yuan to her, "Consider this compensation for you!"

Xu Lu had never expected Chen Nan to transfer so much money to her. After coming back to her senses, her face flushed, she said, "Doing this makes me feel like you’re keeping me."

Chen Nan laughed, "Then consider it as me keeping you!"

For Chen Nan,

the best way to handle a relationship between a man and a woman was to solve it with money.

"Don’t worry boss, I will definitely serve you well in the future, giving you the enjoyment and treatment of an emperor." Xu Lu was all smiles. When she had decided to do that kind of thing with Chen Nan, she had found her role.

She had originally intended to find a supporter, but never thought this supporter would be so generous.

She really liked that!

Watching Xu Lu’s sexy and charming figure, Chen Nan’s heartbeat quickened. He cleared his throat and said, "I have to step out for a while; take care of your own lunch!"

"Also, there are some medicinal herbs I bought in the living room. After you have eaten, you can go online to check the names of those herbs. I will message you later, telling you how to prepare them."

Xu Lu’s injury hadn’t completely healed yet.

It wouldn’t be realistic for her to go to work at the store.

However, she could definitely make Sobering Soup at home.

Xu Lu revealed a coy look, "Mhm, I won’t let Sugar Daddy down."

Chen Nan smiled wryly, shaking his head. He hadn’t expected to become a Sugar Daddy, but he had to admit, the title sounded pretty powerful.

Just as he reached the doorway, he stopped, awkwardly saying, "There are anti-inflammatory pills in the medicine box, I suggest you take two."

Xu Lu, with a flushed face, said, "Okay."

------

After leaving the house, Chen Nan called Nie Xiaoyu to ask about business at the store.

As expected, business was as good as ever today.

Since opening at ten o’clock, there was still a long line of people at the door, a magnificent sight.

Some were even repeat customers who had purchased something the day before.

After all, the weather was sweltering.

Anyone who had tried the Heat-Relief Soup could feel its miraculous effects.

This thing was truly a godsend against the heat.

Chen Nan, "By the way, Sister Lu twisted her ankle while moving, and although I’ve massaged it, she won’t be able to work at the store for the next couple of days."

"Let her rest at home for a couple of days and at the same time prepare the Sobering Soup. I will teach her how to make the soup later."

"Also, I’m tied up tonight, so I won’t be able to come back."

After a brief chat, Chen Nan ended the call and then drove to the antique market in Jizhou City.

Jizhou is a thousand-year-old ancient city.

It has a large antique market.

Though it’s not as well-known as Beijing’s Panjiayuan.

But in the entire Dongshan Province, it still has some fame.

However,

the flow of people from Monday to Friday was obviously less, making it somewhat deserted.

Chen Nan’s purpose for coming to the antique market was very simple.

He wanted to find a good jade pendant, then refine an amulet to give to Lu Anran as a gift.

There are two types of amulets, the first is made with talisman paper, cinnabar, and a brush made from wolf hair to draw runes on it. This type of amulet also has a life-saving effect.

But, this kind of amulet is a one-time consumable.

Moreover, it is not conducive to wearing close to the body.

The second type is to use the True Qi within the body to inscribe a rune within the jade, allowing it to be worn close to the body and not worry about any damage even when bathing.

Another point is that good-quality jade can absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and even if the runes within the jade are worn or depleted, they can repair themselves.

Plainly speaking,

an amulet made out of jade can be reused multiple times.

Amulets, these seemingly ethereal and magical objects, appear only in movies and TV shows.

But Chen Nan knew that such against-the-heavens treasures exist in reality.

Not only that, but he had also seen the power of an amulet first hand.

When he first entered the mountains,

his master gave him an amulet made from yellow talisman paper and instructed him to wear it close to his body when going to the back mountain to gather herbs.

At first, Chen Nan was disdainful because he was unaware of his master’s abilities.

Even when he first went to the mountains to learn, it was purely to escape his father, to escape reality.

But when he went to the mountains to gather herbs,

an accident happened.

He encountered a pack of wolves in the back mountain.

Although he had seen wolves in a zoo, the wolves raised in captivity were completely different from those living in the deep forests and mountains.

The wolves in the wild were ferociously vicious, their eyes revealing a bone-chilling ferocity that made one’s scalp tingle and skin crawl just by looking at them.

That time,

Chen Nan felt intense fear. He dropped his basket and ran down the mountain, screaming for help as he went.

But other than his own echo, no one paid him any heed.

And because he was so panic-stricken, he fell to the ground.

The pack of wolves swarmed over, surrounding him.

In that moment, he despaired.

He thought he would be devoured by the wolves.

Looking back on his life,

he felt extremely stifled.

He had a handsome appearance, but on the verge of death, he was still a virgin, having never tasted the pleasures of a woman.

He even thought to himself,

if there were a next life, he would be a scoundrel and sleep with many, many women.

Just as the pack of wolves lunged at him,

just when he believed he was certainly going to die,

something that overturned his worldview happened. The amulet he was wearing burst into a warm yellow light that blasted the surrounding wolves away and frightened them so much they fled with their tails between their legs into the deep mountains.

In that moment,

a door to a new world opened before him.

Chen Nan also solidified his intention to continue his studies in the mountain. Going to the mountains to study was not just about escaping reality.

"With my current power, I should be able to create an amulet using jade, right?" Thinking of the True Qi he had cultivated within his body, a strong sense of anticipation appeared in Chen Nan’s eyes.
