Chapter 9

"Who are you?"

Su Xuan actually recognized the woman in front of him at the first moment.

After all, it was too outrageous.

Compared to that enchanting figure, big is the truth.

However, in order to maintain the posture of an expert, and because this was indeed the first time they met, he could only pretend that he had never seen the person in front of him, his tone appearing extremely unfamiliar.

"If I remember correctly, in order for me to refine pills steadily, the King has already forbidden anyone from coming here. How did you come here? Are you not afraid of the King's blame?"

"The King cannot bear to blame me!" The woman was wearing a purple tight-fitting dress, her steps swaying, her skirt dragging on the ground. She walked slowly to Su Xuan's front, a faint smile on the corner of her mouth. "It's just that, apart from the ability to summon wind and rain, you are actually proficient in refining pills and making medicine, which really surprised me!"

She gently sniffed the medicinal fragrance.

Although she didn't know what pills were being refined, they were indeed not refined randomly.

Medicine and Gu are not separated; she is proficient in making Gu and is also proficient in making medicine.

Before receiving Ji Wuye's order, she had actually heard of Su Xuan and knew that the Han Wang had recently trusted this person very much, but she didn't take it to heart.

Don't look at how much the Han Wang trusts this person now; in fact, it's just because he prayed for rain for the Han Wang and resolved the drought.

If it were any civil or military official in the court who could resolve the drought for the Han Wang, they would also be trusted by the Han Wang.

It was only immediately after learning that this person was refining pills for the Han Wang and was suspected of being proficient in alchemy that she gradually began to take an interest in this person.

After all, the reason she could be favored by the Han Wang, apart from her own capital being outstanding, was another reason: she was proficient in medicinal properties and knew how to make incense. Every time the Han Wang was exhausted, he would go to her place, and she could let the Han Wang have a good sleep through special incense.

Over time, the Han Wang had regarded her place as a gentle harbor and a place for his soul to belong.

But if, at this time, another person proficient in medicinal properties appeared in front of the Han Wang, for her, it was not a good thing.

This person can summon wind and rain; no one knows what level his attainments in pills have reached.

If he were a person who sought fame and reputation, that would be fine.

If he were truly an expert, and the pills he refined were relied upon by the Han Wang, and the Han Wang then favored this person, it would make her lose a large part of her value to the Han Wang.

Admittedly, her own capital is very solid.

But those who can mix in the harem, are there any ugly people?

Therefore, she decided to come and meet this person.

"If just being proficient in refining pills and making medicine surprises you, then the things you will be surprised by next, I'm afraid there are still many." Su Xuan said lightly, and asked the woman, "I don't know how to address you?"

"They all call me Lady Bright Pearl!" A charming smile curled up at the corner of the woman's mouth.

"Lady Bright Pearl?" Su Xuan was stunned, and said, "I heard that the King has a favorite concubine, called Lady Bright Pearl, it should be you!"

"Since you already know my identity, then why don't you treat me with respect? Are you not afraid that I will report you to the King?"

A shallow smile curled up at the corner of Su Xuan's mouth. "Women, sure enough, are all unreasonable creatures!"

"What do you mean by this?" Lady Bright Pearl's brows slightly raised, somewhat unhappy.

Su Xuan said, "Literal meaning."

"The King has an edict that during my pill refining period, anyone is forbidden from coming to disturb. Lady, you violated the King's prohibition and came to me privately, just to show off your power?"

"What a sharp tongue!" Lady Bright Pearl sighed.

"I dare not!" Su Xuan's tone was calm, and his words suddenly turned. "Lady, you came here, and your plans are not small!"

"Why do you say that?" Lady Bright Pearl asked softly.

"From the time you appeared until now, there has been a strange fragrance permeating. This strange fragrance now even suppresses the medicinal fragrance produced by my refining pills. In this fragrance, there is medicinal power that can make people hallucinate."

"Lady, do you want to cast illusion techniques on me?"

Su Xuan sighed. "I'm afraid even the King would not have thought that the Lady Bright Pearl he favors is actually a master of illusion techniques hidden extremely deep!"

Hearing Su Xuan reveal the truth.

Lady Bright Pearl's expression could not help but change slightly.

She did not continue to hide, but said in a deep voice, "Even if you see through the mystery in the fragrance, so what? In the time you talked to me, this fragrance has completely shrouded this place. As long as you sniffed it once, you would be caught!"

"Is that so?" Su Xuan's eyes lowered. "Lady, can you tell me why you want to take action against me? You and I have no relatives or friends, and we have no hatred or resentment!"

"Do you want to know?" Lady Bright Pearl's beautiful eyes smiled, asking Su Xuan.

Su Xuan nodded gently.

"You will know sooner or later, but now, it is not the time!" Lady Bright Pearl chose to sell a mystery. She prepared to wait until the dust settled before telling Su Xuan her purpose.

At that time, Gu worms would have been planted in Su Xuan's body.

He would have to be controlled by her!

Since Su Xuan could choose to come out of the mountains for a bounty of ten thousand gold, this means he is vain, and such a person's fear of death is also beyond ordinary people.

He absolutely does not want to die.

By then, under the threat of death, Su Xuan would have to agree to any of her requests.

Lady Bright Pearl thought very beautifully.

But in the end, she still neglected one thing.

Since Su Xuan is an expert who can summon wind and rain, although he is vain, he undoubtedly has real skills.

Why does she think her means can be effective against Su Xuan?

Lady Bright Pearl's sleeves waved, and a blue mist flew out from her sleeves, submerging towards Su Xuan. She intended to push the hallucinogenic feeling brought by the fragrance to the extreme, so as to temporarily make Su Xuan lose his ability to act.

However, just when this mist was about to reach Su Xuan, Su Xuan's deep voice sounded. "Wind, come!"

A strong wind was born, blowing the mist away.
