After being reborn, all I want to do is run away.

Chapter 274 3 Ye Xuanbing Flower

"Everything you want is in this box." Consort Xue took a wooden box from the necklace around her neck and handed it to Shen Xu.

Seeing this, he realized that the Blood Central Realm also had storage-type ornaments. This made him regret not searching the corpse a couple of days ago, as the old man might have had similar items on him.

"No, the more I think about it, the more I feel like I'm losing out."

After Shen Xu took the wooden box, Consort Xue turned to Xiao Si and said, "Xiao Si, this is all my fault. The Crown Prince and I will do our best to make it up to you."

Xiao Si shook her head. "Aunt Xue, you must have your own reasons. I don't blame you. Besides, with Brother Shen helping me, those things aren't actually that important to me."

"Good child, we are so sorry!" Consort Xue hugged Xiao Si and tears welled up in her eyes again.

"Brother Shen, could you go and see Aunt Xue's child? Maybe you have a way to cure his illness," Xiao Si pleaded earnestly, staring into his eyes.

Why did this girl suddenly change her personality?

He knew that given the girl's personality, she should hate the Crown Prince's family after learning that they had swallowed what her mother had left her. Why would she ask him to save Consort Xue's child?

Something's fishy going on! What is this girl up to?

However, since he had just obtained Huo Yan's things through Xiao Si, it was really difficult for him to refuse the girl's request.

Moreover, he knew that Xiao Si wouldn't speak without reason. Since she said he could cure the child, he might actually be able to.

Consort Xue knelt down in front of Shen Xu with a thud. "I know my previous actions have made you very angry, but Rui'er is innocent. I hope you can go in and see Rui'er no matter what."

Seeing this, Shen Xu couldn't help but feel a headache coming on; it was a real headache!

He had encountered similar situations many times in his past lives. The difference was that in his past lives, the parents begged him to spare their children, while this time they were begging him to save a child.

In his past life, he would have chosen to let those families reunite underground because he knew that even if he didn't take action, someone else would, and leaving any remnants behind would seem to serve no other purpose than seeking revenge.

But since he has chosen to be a good person this time, it seems he shouldn't refuse in this situation.

"I can go in for Xiaosi's sake, but let me make it clear beforehand that I charge a lot."

"As long as you can cure Rui'er, we wouldn't even flinch if you asked us to sell the Crown Prince's residence," the Crown Prince said.

Hearing this, Shen Xu smiled and said, "No one in Yunyang Kingdom would dare to buy your Crown Prince's residence. Why don't you take me to see the child? Perhaps his condition doesn't require you to sell the Crown Prince's residence."

Upon entering the room, a strong aroma of medicinal herbs wafted towards him. Through the Wood's Intent, he sensed many vital herbs from the scent, but they contained too many impurities. Long-term consumption might not be very beneficial to his health.

Inside the room, on the soft bed, a frail baby, still in swaddling clothes, was sleeping peacefully, seemingly unaffected by the commotion outside.

“This child has been crying all night and only fell asleep before you arrived.” Consort Xue came to the baby’s side, her eyes full of pity.

Shen Xu stepped forward and probed the baby's body with a wisp of vital energy. He found that the child's life force was very weak, and the naturally connected meridians in his body had been blocked by impurities in the medicinal materials. Moreover, his life force seemed to be slowly fading away.

If it weren't for those medicinal herbs keeping him alive, this child would probably have died long ago.

However, he also understood why Xiaosi said he could save the child.

Seeing Shen Xu's furrowed brows, Consort Xue's heart leaped into her throat, and she asked with great concern, "Is there any hope for Rui'er?"

"If you have a container that can store the primordial liquid, he can be saved; otherwise, he cannot."

Shen Xu took out the storage bottle and controlled the azure energy inside to slowly surround the baby's body. Although he could directly inject life force into the baby's body, truly improving the baby's constitution was a long-term process.

He was destined not to stay in Yunyang Kingdom for long. Without his precise control over the azure primordial energy, indiscriminately injecting life force into an infant would only result in tragedy.

Therefore, he could only create such an external environment to allow life to slowly seep into the baby's body.

Sensing the incredibly rich vitality within the azure aura, Consort Xue was instantly shocked, then overjoyed.

Upon seeing this, the crown prince immediately said, "I'll go find my father; he must have it!"

"I don't want anyone to know I exist," Shen Xu said coldly.

"Don't worry!" the crown prince said before leaving the room.

"What do we need to buy this Yuan Liquid from you?" Consort Xue asked tentatively.

"What I have in my hand is not Yuan Liquid, but a kind of spiritual wood nectar. It can only be collected from ancient trees with a heart of wood that are thousands of years old. Even in my hands, there is not much of it. Every drop used is one less drop available. Therefore, you need to exchange it for rare and precious materials of equal value."

Don't worry about how much you can get in return; I'll only give you a single drop.

"One drop! Isn't that too little?"

"You'd better come up with something that can impress me first, or you might not even be able to get a single drop in return!" Shen Xu said coldly.

Consort Xue fell silent, then removed the gemstone necklace from her neck. "This was given to me by my mother..."

Shen Xu interrupted Xue Fei, saying, "There's no need. I'm not trying to extort you, but rather to make a fair deal. I hope you understand that."

He came here to be a good person, not a bad one. Xue Fei's necklace clearly has important meaning for her, and he will not agree to this kind of deal.

His purpose in requesting the trade was simply to see if he could find something he needed in the Crown Prince's residence, not to exchange a drop of Yuan Liquid for someone else's treasured possession.

Upon hearing this, Consort Xue seemed to pause for a moment, then slowly said, "You and Huo Yan are quite similar in some ways, no wonder she left her things to you and asked you to take care of Xiao Si."

"We've lived a rather frugal life these past few years in order to buy those precious medicinal herbs. All the valuable things in our home are here with me. I hope there are some items that are of value to you among them."

After Xue Fei finished speaking, she took out a series of dazzling treasures from the necklace and neatly arranged them on the square table in the room.

"This is... a Three-Leaf Mystic Ice Flower."

Upon seeing a flower that resembled an ice-blue jade crystal inside a jade box, Shen Xu's heart trembled.

He remembered that Li Xiaoyi needed this medicinal herb to form his core, and he happened to have one on hand at the time, so the witch introduced it to Li Xiaoyi...

"A tragic fate!" Shen Xu closed his eyes in pain.

Seeing Shen Xu's expression, Xue Fei's heart sank. "Is there nothing among these that satisfies you?"

"This one will do!" With a sigh, Shen Xu pointed to the blue ice flower.

The Three-Leaf Mystic Ice Flower is a fifth-grade medicinal herb that grows only in extremely cold places. Its petals are like ice-blue jade crystals, and the surrounding blue ice-jade-like branches and leaves are formed by absorbing the ice-attribute energy between heaven and earth. Its fragrance has a calming and soothing effect.

Legend has it that when many three-leaf ice flowers gather together to grow, there is a slight chance that a very precious five-leaf ice flower will bloom, which can help people be reborn.
