Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 27 Confession or Showdown

Ning Xuan shook the potion in her hand and sealed it! Elderberry potion, as long as the purity reaches above 80%, can make broken bones heal within three days. The higher the purity, the faster the broken bones heal.

It was already dinner time. Ning Xuan was very tired after persisting for so long. She stood up, stretched her muscles and loosened her stiff joints, then closed the door and went downstairs.

The food ordered on Star Online this morning had just arrived. Chen Nan was preparing dinner in the kitchen. Ning Xuan saw a white bag piled in the corner of the living room. She went over to open it and saw that it was filled with brown oval objects covered with fine hairs. The surface looked like the size of a human head. Ning Xuan took out one and weighed it. It looked like only four or five pounds on the surface, but in fact it weighed more than ten pounds.

This was sent by a mercenary who posted on Starnet that he had found some strange plants. Their team specializes in finding edible seeds, fruits, medicinal herbs and other things in the wild. When Ning Xuan saw these plant tubers growing underground, she thought of the sweet potatoes, taro, potatoes, yams, radishes and other foods grown on Earth, as well as medicinal herbs such as ginseng and rehmannia that can be used as medicine. The tubers of many plants are edible and are very valuable.

In this era, field expeditions to collect supplies only stayed at the level of collection, and no research was done on the roots and rhizomes of plants buried underground. In fact, as far as she knew, many of the truly high-yield crops were root plants, and they were also delicious.

Chen Nan had already prepared dinner. Seeing Ning Xuan rummaging through the white bag, he walked over to her and said, "Master, is this what you are looking for?" Chen Nan looked curiously at the brown, hairy plant roots in the bag. He had never seen such things before!

"Well, someone posted on Star Internet that it was a plant that had never been seen before. It looked a bit strange, so I bought it and studied it!" Ning Xuan looked at Chen Nan and felt that he was a bit strange.

Ning Xuan's unreserved gaze made Chen Nan's already nervous mood even more tense. His body was a little stiff. "Master, why are you looking at me like that?"

"You look a little guilty. Have you done anything bad? Or are you planning to do something bad?" Although Ning Xuan cannot recover her former strength for the time being, her spiritual perception is still very sharp. Ever since Ning Chuchu appeared at her door and mentioned the Bai family, Chen Nan's reaction was a little wrong!

Chen Nan took two steps back, and then, as if he had made up his mind, he sat down next to Ning Xuan, "Master, let's eat first, and we'll talk after dinner!" If you say that at the beginning, he planned to coax Ning Xuan to listen to only him, avoid the family's search with him, and live a life with only each other under the contract.

However, after this period of contact, he has seen clearly that Ning Xuan has potential, ambition, and determination, and he cannot control her. She will only move forward at her own pace and rhythm, and will not live a life of hiding with him.

Ning Xuan saw that Chen Nan seemed to have suddenly let go of some psychological burden, and he no longer stood there to serve her attentively. The artificial energy that he usually displayed seemed to have disappeared in an instant!
Ning Xuan smiled. Was he going to reveal his cards so soon? It was a shame. She had quite liked Chen Nan's previous serious and polite demeanor.

Chen Nan followed Ning Xuan's instructions, re-marinating the processed, high-grade beast meat before frying it. The re-marinated meat was even more tender, not only removing the original fishy smell but also possessing a light, refreshing fragrance. He cut the fried meat into small pieces and handed it to Ning Xuan. His service was attentive and impeccable! Ning Xuan took it and began to eat. Ever since the last sign of her companion spirit's awakening, the Ghost-Faced Red Vine awakened, her appetite had increased significantly. She now ate two or even three meals in one sitting. Chen Nan's culinary talent was truly lacking, so he could only teach him this simple method!
After the two of them had dinner, Chen Nan didn't waste any time and directly showed Ning Xuan the letters his father had sent him over the past month.

Ning Xuan read through the letters one after another. After finishing them, she turned back to look at Chen Nan and sneered, "What are you? A rebellious son of a wealthy family, a renegade young master who's avoiding a family marriage?"

"Master, I'm telling you all this because I don't want you to step into a dangerous place. As long as you don't go to Guangdu, they can't do anything to us! I can protect you!" Chen Nan stepped forward and hugged Ning Xuan's waist. He knew that his family had brought trouble to Ning Xuan, but this was a match made by the main brain and he couldn't refuse. He couldn't make the decision at home, so coming to Ning Xuan and protecting her was the only thing Chen Nan could do.

"Why shouldn't I go? Let go!" There was still no clue about the Bai family's affairs, and she learned that Chen Nan's family had always wanted to kill her. Ning Xuan was not a good-tempered person, and there was no way she could not vent her anger on Chen Nan!

At the same time, she felt even more insecure. The contractor she was forced to match with by the main brain wasn't just Chen Nan, there were four others. If they also needed a marriage or needed the comfort of a high-level controller, wouldn't they also find her a nuisance? They would have to find a way to make her disappear!
Ning Xuan returned to the laboratory upstairs. Chen Nan chased her but was stopped outside the door and had no choice but to return to his room.

Ning Xuan stretched out her hand, and more than a dozen vines sprang out from her palm. The inside of these vines was covered with slender vines, and the outer skin was covered with sharp thorns. She had just taken more than a dozen portions of blue flame grass from downstairs. An hour later, ten tubes of pure and transparent blue potions appeared on the glass shelf. With the help of these vines, she was like having a dozen extra hands, and her efficiency was several times faster than normal!
Looking at these potions, Ning Xuan smiled gently. These were all money. Even if her strength could not be improved all at once, as long as she had enough money, she could hire mercenaries to protect herself. The more money she made, the more powerful bodyguards she could hire!

Ning Xuan figured this out and continued to refine the elderberry potion. She found that in the process of continuously refining the potion, her fine control of her mental power became more proficient than before.

Six hours later, it was already late at night. The elderberry potion, which was originally only 1/3 full, was finally filled. Ning Xuan sealed the bottle of elderberry potion, took a picture, and sent it to Dean Wang, explaining that she made this bottle of potion with the materials she bought herself and planned to sell it on Starnet!

Then she left the laboratory and planned to go back to her room to sleep. When she reached the door, she suddenly stopped. There was someone in her room, and it was not Chen Nan!

The uninvited guest must be a bad guest. If she turned around and left at this time, it would definitely alarm the people in the house.
