Chapter 120 So Fast So Fast
Mo Ran stood on the shore of Liyue Harbor, gazing at the distant river where the water and sky merged into one, lost in thought. His thoughts had already drifted to the free city-state, to the Wave Knight who loved to hold grudges but not seek revenge.
The other three people were waiting quietly on the side. It was only the end of the night hour, which was almost nine o'clock. It was too early for Liyue Harbor, a prosperous city that never sleeps.
Paimeng tilted his head and asked in confusion: "Why does Mo Ran always stare at the sky in a trance? He did the same thing a few times just now. It's really strange."
Sora felt a bit of the same thing and said, "Maybe someone is missing. I think the same thing happened to me when I was traveling and I thought of my sister."
Paimeng exclaimed, "Could it be that Mo Ran actually has some unknown story?" The cute little kid turned his head and looked at the still motionless figure in black, his eyes bright and full of curiosity.
Zhongli sighed and said slowly: "I may know about this matter, but after hearing it, please don't mention it to Mo Ran himself, so as to avoid him remembering it again and adding to his sadness."
Paimon glanced at the blond boy, and they both nodded heavily.
"Okay, in that case, the contract is done. Anyone who breaks his word will be punished by eating rocks." After signing the verbal contract with the two, Zhongli said, "Mo Ran actually had a wife. The two loved each other very much. They should have been inseparable, lived together until old age, and even died together."
Paimeng asked: "Isn't that great? Why is Mo Ran like this? Could it be that..." Paimeng suddenly thought of a not-so-good possibility. The two were in love, but separated by death.
Zhongli continued, "From your expression, I think you are almost right. As you guessed, Mo Ran's wife has indeed passed away. This is something he has never been willing to accept and cannot accept."
"This also caused Mo Ran to be dazed at times, staring blankly into the distance, like a stone statue, motionless."
Paimon groaned and whispered, "There is actually such a thing. Two people are obviously in love with each other, but why are they always separated?"
Paimon looked at the man in black and said, "What a pitiful person! Really, so pitiful."
Kong touched her little head and looked over as well, both of them speechless.
After a while, Mo Ran lowered his head and sighed, shook his head and walked back to the team, "Next, we should prepare to send Xian Dianyi the ointment, right?"
Zhongli nodded and said, "That's right, but I don't know anyone who can make it. It would be best to find an experienced veteran to make it."
Mo Ran spread his hands and said, "Just tell me you want to go to Chunxiang Kiln. The perfume there is the most famous in the whole Liyue Harbor."
In addition to the necessary medicinal herbs, Du Binglu's herbal medicine collection team would also collect a lot of wild flowers and plants. Over time, those things piled up into mountains.
Mo Ran simply signed a contract with Chun Xiang Kiln to provide the necessary flowers and plants to the Kiln. As a result, he became the supplier of the Chun Xiang Kiln, which was not yet famous at the time, and is also the only supplier until now.
"Then let's go." Zhongli turned around and walked away.
Mo Ran called out to Paimeng and Kong, who were still standing there with different expressions, "You two, hurry up and catch up!"
"Here they come." Paimon and Kong looked at each other, and ran behind a man in black together. They frowned slightly and looked compassionate, but they held back so that he wouldn't notice.
On the South Street of Liyue Harbor, outside Chunxiang Kiln, stood a beautiful woman with a graceful figure. She had bright eyes and white teeth, and her eyes seemed to contain a gurgling spring, with an autumn wave that was charming.
Seeing a group of four people coming, she approached the man in black and said in a soft voice, "Hey, Boss Mo is willing to come to my place. It turns out that a young girl is not as good as a mature budding woman, right?"
Mo Ran took a big step back and his heart trembled, because the voice was somewhat similar, but Mo Ran knew that this was Ying'er, not the person he was thinking about.
Paimon asked in confusion: "Huh? How did you know we were coming? And what were those things you just said? They sounded weird."
Ying Er covered her mouth and chuckled, "Because I just heard that there are four people in the city who specialize in picking up small businesses. Although my Chunxiang Kiln is not a big business, I am a weak woman, so I can't help but feel anxious~"
"However, when I heard that Boss Mo was also among them, I suddenly began to look forward to your arrival. In a sense, this is also a test of my charm."
Mo Ran remained calm and said, "Let's stop here. We'll come to you to make the ointment..." Halfway through his words, Ying'er burst into laughter, and her laughter was as clear as a spring in the mountains.
"Oh! This rainy season is the hardest to bear. Boss Mo is itching to find a beautiful woman to sleep with. Haha, I wonder what this person in front of you is like?"
"Not so good, you are worse than my wife..." Mo Ran said in a deep voice. He took a deep breath and shouted, "A million miles away!"
Such a shout startled Paimeng and Kong who were traveling with them. Zhongli, who was as calm as a rock, also looked at him sideways, sighing that Mo Ran's condition had worsened.
Ying'er was not annoyed and continued to smile, because she was only taking advantage verbally and had never taken any real action. In short, she just thought it was fun.
"Hehe~ Boss Mo, you should know that there are many people in Liyue Harbor, and three people can make a tiger. Rumors can spread, so you'd better be careful with your words and actions!" Ying'er put her hands behind her back, pretending to be a shy little girl, and said, "If one day the news of a matter between Boss Mo and a weak woman like me gets out..."
"Even if you don't want to, you have to marry me, otherwise..." Ying'er looked like she was about to cry, "I will have no choice but to end my life with a three-meter-long white silk or by jumping into the thousand-mile-long Chengjiang River!"
Mo Ran lowered his eyes, completely ignoring this well-mannered woman, and simply said, "Kong, give her the colorful flower and make the ointment."
"Got it." Kong took out three kinds of colorful flowers and handed them to Ying'er, who immediately said, "There are three kinds! I didn't expect that Boss Mo, who usually keeps a low profile, would have such a big appetite!"
"But you must pick the flowers when they are in bloom, and don't wait until there are no more flowers to pluck. Your treasure house is so powerful and deep, why not?"
"But now Boss Mo doesn't do it himself, but asks others to help me. He really likes the new and dislikes the old! Alas~ The new is replaced by the old, and the new is not as good as the old!"
Paimon touched his innocent little head and said, "Wow, Paimon doesn't understand again."
Ying'er chuckled twice, "Boss Mo, if you want to make the ointment, you have to spend your attention on me alone during this period of time!"
Mo Ran swung his black sleeves, glanced at his old friend who had been silent, and said only one sentence, "Go find him, the ointment is what he wants."
Ying Er pretended to be disappointed and said, "It turns out that Boss Mo is not looking for a new lover! What a waste of joy. However, if this gentleman wants to make it, it is not impossible."
Zhongli's expression remained unchanged, and he said calmly: "Just let the traveler help you. He is clever and skillful, has traveled to many countries, and has much more experience and horizons than I do."
"Hmm!" Kong Zhi, who was inexplicably being stared at by everyone, felt a chill on his back and asked hurriedly, "Why me?"
Mo Ran said: "You are the most suitable one, since you don't have a family anyway."
Zhongli nodded in agreement and said, "That's right. Although I'm not married, there are many people here and I don't want to lose my reputation."
Paimon looked at the blond boy expectantly and said, "It's up to you, Sora! Remember why we took this arduous journey!"
Kong swallowed his saliva, clenched his fists slightly, and said solemnly like a soldier going to die on the battlefield, "I'm going."
The blond boy turned around and didn't look back. Behind him were his three friends. He wanted to fight against this power on his own.
Ying'er said, "Finally you've decided on someone? Then, where should we go to make it?"
Mo Ran walked to the alley next to Chunxiang Kiln and built a stove with the power of rock element. "Here it is."
Paimeng said in surprise: "So Mo Ran also has the Eye of God! I never noticed it before!" She looked carefully and barely discovered the dim Eye of God on the waist of the black clothes.
Ying'er said something shocking, "Boss Mo is really heroic, strong, and solid as a rock! He actually likes to fight in a place like this, following the principle of proximity, and wants to make a quick decision? His taste is very strange!"
"The candlelight flickers, the moonlight shines, and the two of them cling to each other to plan their great cause."
Mo Ran remained calm and said casually, "Next month's supply of neon flowers will be halved!"
"That won't do. You haven't been to Chunxiang Kiln for a long time. If my hope for the future is cut off like this, how can I live?"
Mo Ran curled his lips and said, "Shut up and go make ointment!"
