Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 1561: Chapter 1560: A Woman’s Boudoir

In any prominent family, being a descendant is challenging if they are not dandy.

Like the Yun Family on the Dragon Martial Continent.

Yun Congcong wants to compete with Yun Qianqian for the Family Head position of the Yun Family, disregarding sisterly bonds, and has plotted against Yun Qianqian several times.

Here, Shen Menghan did not act the same way towards Shen Mengli, but Shen Mengli is in control of some industries of the Shen Family, especially since the Patriarch of the Shen Family has fully retired to the background, leaving Shen Mengli to maintain the overall situation.

Therefore, even if Shen Mengli sincerely wanted to be simple, she could not be.

Intrigue, strategies, and schemes...

These are things Shen Mengli must possess at all times.

Of course, like just now, leaning on Su Han was just a joke.

This is because her relationship with Su Han is a bit closer, and Shen Mengli can see that Su Han is not a man who chases after beauty.

”What kind of help?”

Su Han asked Shen Mengli: ”My time is extremely precious. Even though our relationship is fairly good, I still have to charge based on time.”

”For a day’s fee, I’ll give you one hundred thousand spirit crystals, alright?” Shen Mengli said.

”Deal.”

”It’s like this...”

Shen Mengli thought for a while, then said: ”In three days, the Pill Refining Association will hold a competition exclusively for First Grade Alchemists, inviting a number of forces, including my Shen Family.”

”It’s just a pill refining competition, not a combat one, as you as a Pill Master should naturally understand.”

”Originally, my Shen Family didn’t plan to participate, but the reward offered by the Pill Refining Association is a Third-Grade Pill of Superior Quality, which is just right for a Void Heaven Realm strongman in my Shen Family.”

At this point, Shen Mengli paused, and then added, ”To be honest, this Void Heaven Realm strongman is my second uncle. If he gets this pill, he would likely break through to the Divine Sea Realm!”

Su Han nodded, listening quietly to what came next.

”Apart from the reward of this pill, my Shen Family also doesn’t want to lose to the Lyu Family.”

Shen Mengli continued: ”The Lyu Family also has a strongman who needs this pill. If he gets it and breaks through to the Divine Sea Realm after consuming it, my Shen Family will fall behind in what was a balanced power dynamic.”

”So, as the Guest Pill Master of my Shen Family, I want you to help me with this. As for the compensation, it will be as previously discussed, one hundred thousand spirit crystals a day.”

”I see...”

Su Han understood the gist of the matter.

Simply put, whoever gets this pill will likely break through to the Divine Sea Realm.

A grand stronger in the Divine Sea Realm is not peerless, but for families like the Shen Family and the Lyu Family, such a person is definitely considered a pillar.

”The Shen Family doesn’t have a Third-Grade Alchemist?” Su Han asked.

”Third-Grade Pill Master?”

Shen Mengli rolled her eyes at Su Han: ”Are you joking? Not just my Shen Family, even your Heavenly Mountain Pavilion may not have a Third-Grade Pill Master. They’re not something you just find on the streets.”

”Moreover, even if there is a Third-Grade Pill Master, they might not be able to refine a Third-Grade Pill of Superior Quality, right?”

”My second uncle has tried many ways to break through to the Divine Sea Realm. If not for this event by the Pill Refining Association, he was planning to spend a huge sum to find a Third-Grade Pill Master to refine it for him.”

Su Han nodded, really understanding that hiring a Third-Grade Pill Master, especially one who can refine Superior Quality Third-Grade Pills, incurs a great cost.

”In this case, it’s also a matter of chance.”

Shen Mengli said, ”As I mentioned before, the Pill Refining Association has invited dozens of forces, and only First Grade Alchemists from these forces can participate.”

”Honestly, I didn’t have much hope initially, but then I suddenly thought of you, who can refine every pill into a top-grade one, so... I invited you to help!”

”Top-grade Pill Master?”

This girl sure has a knack for flattery.

Amidst Su Han’s silence, he said, ”If I can win this competition, starting from today, it’s one hundred fifty thousand spirit crystals per day. If not, I won’t take a single piece.”

”Alright!”

Shen Mengli nodded immediately, her eyes bright with resolve.

Fifteen-hundred-thousand spirit crystals a day didn’t concern Shen Mengli. What she cared about was Su Han’s final words.

”If I don’t win, I won’t take a single dime!”

Just those few words fully expressed Su Han’s strong self-confidence, giving Shen Mengli, who initially wasn’t very hopeful, a great boost of confidence as well.

In reality, for the Shen Family, this matter can’t result in a loss.

There’s at most only five days, totaling seventy-five thousand spirit crystals, and if Su Han doesn’t win first place, he won’t take anything, which equates to free assistance.

If they obtain first place, then a Third-Grade Pill of Superior Quality is worth far more than seventy-five thousand spirit crystals!

Even if they prepared the medicinal ingredients themselves, hiring a Third-Grade Pill Master to help refine it would cost over a million spirit crystals!

”I came at the right time,” Su Han said casually.

”Even if you hadn’t come, I would have gone to the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion to find you.” Shen Mengli said with a smile.

Su Han did not say anything more.

”I’ll make arrangements to prepare the medicinal ingredients for you.”

”Okay.”

Su Han nodded: ”Also, find me a room. Surely I can’t just stand around here all the time?”

”A room...”

Shen Mengli hesitated for a moment but then nodded: ”Alright, I’ll find you later. You can wander around for now.”

After saying this, Shen Mengli left.

Su Han furrowed his eyebrows slightly, wondering why arranging a room was such a hesitation. This auction hall is so big.

Not thinking too much about it, Su Han began to wander around.

A moment later, Shen Mengli returned and led Su Han to a room.

It wasn’t on the first or second floor, but directly on the tenth.

”You can wait in this room temporarily. We’ll call you when it’s time to leave,” Shen Mengli said.

”Alright.”

Su Han nodded.

Shen Mengli clearly had other matters to attend to, so she didn’t entertain Su Han any further, leaving in a hurry.

As for Su Han, he opened the door and walked in on his own.

The moment he entered, the corners of Su Han’s mouth twitched violently.

The entire room was pink, filled with a faint fragrance, with some large plush toys placed around, looking very cute and beautiful.

At first glance, Su Han knew this must be a girl’s boudoir.

”Could this be Shen Mengli’s room? She appears so mature on the surface, but the decor of this room is more like Shen Menghan’s personality...”

Su Han lightly frowned: ”No wonder she hesitated... What is she up to? Seducing me? I don’t think I’m worthy of her trying to seduce me, at least for now?”

Unable to figure it out, Su Han didn’t dwell on it.

He’s not really planning to stay in this room anyway; he’s heading into the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son. Whose room it is, doesn’t matter.
