Under the dual stimulation of pain and pleasure, Ye Lan gently bit her lip, and a strange blush rose up on her face.
This person...
By the time the massage was over, Miss Yelan's injuries had all healed.
"Thank you, Mr. Xia."
"You're welcome."
"How much did it cost?"
"We are friends..."
"Even with friends, you still have to give them money."
"No, what I mean is, just give me a friendly price."
"Hmm... this price is cheaper than getting treatment at the medicine shop."
"Right? We added a bathhouse to our shop yesterday. Miss Yelan, why don't you go for a soak?"
"Okay, it seems I'll have to trouble Mr. Xia a lot more in the future."
"Come anyway."
Chapter 288 Some people might not be able to sleep tonight.
In the vast bathhouse, only Ye Lan was soaking in the tub at that moment.
She lay on the edge of the pool, comfortably squinting her eyes.
She forced herself out of the warm pool just as she was about to fall asleep.
call.
This intense sense of satisfaction can really weaken a person's willpower and make them lower their guard.
Fortunately, she was a seasoned veteran and could hold on.
Ye Lan ran her fingers over the "Mysterious Jade Bracelet" on her wrist; this family heirloom was also a spatial item.
She took out clean clothes from inside and changed them. When she came out of the bathhouse, she saw everyone busy around a table, looking very lively.
"Miss Yelan has finished her bath."
"Um, Mr. Xia, what's going on here?"
"We're preparing the ingredients; we're having hot pot tonight."
"Oh? Hot pot?"
"Miss Yelan, please stay and have some with us."
"Okay, thank you."
"This is a spicy broth. Miss Yelan seems to be able to handle spicy food, right? If you don't like spicy food, we also have a mushroom broth broth here."
"OK."
Ye Lan nodded with a smile. She was a spicy food lover, and every time she went to Wanmintang to eat, she would ask Xiangling and Chef Mao to put more Jueyun peppers in the dishes. She would even chew the Jueyun peppers directly when she ate.
The extra spicy broth that Xia Zhi cooked today was just what she wanted.
I couldn't help but eat two extra bowls of rice.
The mushroom soup was also very delicious, with a hint of milky aroma. After finishing her meal, Ye Lan drank a small bowl of it and felt her whole body become warm and comfortable.
After helping to tidy up the table and chatting for a while, Ye Lan got up to say goodbye.
Xia Zhi called her over, went inside to get a small wooden box, and handed it to her.
"There's some tea inside, consider it a return gift."
"Mr. Xia, you're too kind."
"However, this tea may be a bit too strong invigorating. Miss Yelan, please be careful not to brew too much at once, or you may not be able to sleep."
"I see."
Ye Lan nodded, put the small wooden box into her bracelet, and left the Summer Shop.
After returning to the Iwakami Tea House, she went into her room.
Inside was a very large table, piled high with scattered intelligence documents.
Relaxation time is over, time to get back to work.
Ye Lan sat down at the table, turned on the lamp, and began to carefully review and organize the latest intelligence from various countries.
Strange phenomena reappear at the bottom of the deep abyss, fueling discontent among unemployed workers.
[A disturbance has occurred during the Inazuma Eye Hunting Order, and a blonde traveler is suspected of being involved.]
The smuggling of knowledge about the Sumeru Jar is becoming increasingly serious, and rumors about the Red King's treasure have suddenly begun to circulate among the people.
[The Fontainebleau girl serial disappearance case has occurred again].
……
After tidying up for a long time, Ye Lan raised her head, leaned back in her chair, and rubbed her temples to rest.
I feel a little thirsty.
Just as Ye Lan was about to ask her subordinates to brew her a cup of spicy tea with dried Jueyun pepper, she suddenly remembered the box of tea that Mr. Xia had given her that evening. Judging from Mr. Xia's words, the tea seemed to have a good reminding effect.
Why not try this new tea?
Ye Lan got up and went to the tea room. She took out a small tea box from the "Mysterious Handrail" and opened it. She saw that the tea leaves inside were actually silver.
The tea leaves are tightly rolled and emit a rich, sweet aroma.
Ye Lan examined it carefully. She had never seen this kind of tea before, and she had not even seen any record of it in her family's records.
It appears to be a newly bred variety.
Mr. Xia said that you shouldn't brew too much tea at once, otherwise you won't be able to sleep.
But what I need right now is to be unable to sleep, otherwise I won't be able to finish processing all this intelligence.
So, Yelan reached out and grabbed a handful of tea leaves from the small wooden box...
--
"Zhu Zi".
"boss?"
"Come here, I want to tell you about this new tea."
Wow! What beautiful tea leaves!
"It's called 'Silver Thread Dew,' and it has a refreshing effect, making people's thinking more active. It can help people move beyond superficial cognition and reach deeper levels of wisdom and insight, as well as gain more inspiration and intuition."
"Amazing!"
"Haven't you been lacking inspiration for your novel lately? You can have some of this tea then."
"Oh!"
"But be careful not to brew too much. One tea leaf is enough for you each time."
"A single tea leaf?"
"Yes, if you have too much, you won't be able to sleep at night."
"it is good!"
--
This tea is indeed very useful.
After drinking a cup of tea, Ye Lan felt her mind become unusually active and agile, and her efficiency in organizing information also increased significantly.
The work that was originally expected to take all night was finished in just two hours.
Ye Lan stretched, finally able to get a normal night's sleep today.
No, I don't feel sleepy at all...
Ye Lan stared at the empty teacup on the table and suddenly fell silent.
Some people are probably going to have trouble sleeping tonight.
--
The room on the second floor of the small shop.
The system's normal evolution count for today has been refreshed.
Xia Zhi continued what she hadn't finished yesterday, starting by using the [Full Vitality Recovery Potion] to earn some points.
Then, when the price is doubled, upgrade the [Nail Polish].
