Chapter 220 She was hit by a surprise
The luck that Cao Kai had plundered was suddenly lost so much. Cao Kai's live streaming system was both angry at Cao Kai's uselessness and worried about why Yin Rou, who had been oppressed and sold into the lowest brothel, was able to stand up again.
The system performed large-scale data calculations but failed to reach a conclusion. Unsure whether to consume energy, it reported the situation to the mainframe.

In the capital city, at the Han family residence, in Huangfu Qian's private study within the small courtyard—
Huangfu Qian reached out, pinched the bridge of his nose, rubbed his eyes briefly, and continued reading the official documents on the table.
He returned to the capital. Although it was not made public, his confidants knew about it and presented him with all the relevant matters for his review.
He also needs to review and reflect on the things that have been handled, to see if they were handled appropriately.
Huangfu Qian now sleeps for only two hours a day, which is not enough time for his body to recover.
As summer drew to a close, Huangfu Qian was seen rubbing his temples.
Summer's End: "..."
She glanced at the pile of documents on the table, which looked like several small mountains. The thought that she still needed Huangfu Qian to do things for her and make him even busier made her feel guilty for a moment.
“These are all things that have already been done and need your review, right?” Xia Mo pointed to the three small mountains near the center of the table.
In fact, she had already seen the contents by scanning it with her divine sense, so this question was unnecessary.
“Hmm,” Huangfu Qian said without looking up, continuing to flip through the pages.
"Shall I lend you a hand?" Xia Mo blinked shyly at Huangfu Qian.
She came to find Huangfu Qian, also to cause trouble for him.
Huangfu Qian thought that Xia Mo's divine sense could directly transmit images into his mind, saving him the trouble of reading through them one by one. That was good.
Huangfu Qian nodded.
Xia Mo decisively transmitted the information about the three small mountains that he had just scanned with his divine sense into Huangfu Qian's mind.
Huangfu Qian closed his eyes, no need to look anymore, and quickly reviewed the images transmitted by Xia Mo in his mind.
Originally, it would have taken him a whole day to read through these three piles of documents, but with Xia Mo's unconventional, cheating-like method, he finished reading them in half an hour.
Huangfu Qian rubbed his temples. He had just digested too much information, and his head felt swollen and uncomfortable.
As summer faded, she flipped her hand over, and a medicine bottle appeared in her palm.
Many of the commonly used medicines in her soul space were prepared for her family. Now, sharing some with her mutual ally Huangfu Qian is the same thing.
Huangfu Qian took the small white medicine bottle, poured out a small pill, and looked at Xia Mo questioningly.
Xia Mo nodded: "One pill is enough."
Without any hesitation, Huangfu Qian tilted his head back and swallowed the pill.
In just a short while, the throbbing sensation in his head disappeared, and his spirits were greatly restored.
“You’ve been mentally exhausted. Using this will help you recover quickly,” Xia Mo said, handing over another bottle.
Huangfu Qian took the jade and put it into a hidden pouch in his bosom. He opened his mouth and said, "The three cartloads of jade have been transported to my private residence in the capital. You will come with me tonight."
"Okay!"
Summer's end, eyes shining.
She was worried that she didn't have enough strength!
She was reluctant to use even a fraction of the immortal spiritual power. The immortal spiritual power within her soul space was dwindling with each use and would not be regenerated. Therefore, she was now eager to release more divine consciousness power. Only by strengthening her body could she support a more powerful soul!
“Let’s make another deal,” Xia Mo said, taking out a piece of paper and twenty bottles of bone-regenerating pills and placing them on the table in front of Huangfu Qian.
“This kind of pill is called the Bone-Growing Pill. It can promote bone growth when bones are broken. As mentioned before, each pill you use reduces the number of available pills,” Xia Mo emphasized the latter part.
Huangfu Qian responded solemnly, nodding and saying "Mm".
“This is the money for buying your jade and these medicinal herbs,” Xia Mo said frankly.
Huangfu Qian nodded after looking at the list of medicinal herbs on the paper Xia Mo had given him.
The medicinal herbs recorded on the paper were all rare herbs such as aged ginseng and lingzhi, but they were still far inferior to the bone-strengthening pills given by Xia Mo.
"Is there a quantity requirement?" Huangfu Qian asked.
“The more the better,” Xia Mo replied with a grin.
“Alright,” Huangfu Qian accepted it, immediately summoned someone, rewrote it, and handed it to his subordinates, instructing them to retrieve it from the Prince’s Pharmacy.

Night falls—
Huangfu Qian's estate outside the capital city—
Xia Mo put her arm around Huangfu Qian's waist and led him to the manor.
As soon as they appeared, the secret protectors of the manor spotted them and rushed out.
Once they saw Huangfu Qian clearly, they immediately retreated respectfully, as if nothing had happened.
"This estate is nice," Xia Mo said as she rushed towards the center of the estate where houses had been built.
Huangfu Qian followed Xia Mo as they approached.
"Is this your bedroom in this manor?" Xia Mo scanned the room with her divine sense and found that only Huangfu Qian's aura remained.
"Yes."
Huangfu Qian was no longer curious about how Xia Mo knew this was his room.
"I want to sleep here!" Xia Mo suddenly made a very unreasonable request.
“Okay,” Huangfu Qian agreed without asking any questions.
"Hehe," Xia Mo jumped onto the eight-step bed and rolled around happily a few times.
"There's actually earth vein energy here! Hahaha, if I had known there was earth vein energy in the capital, I would have come sooner," Xia Mo said directly, revealing why she wanted to stay here.
"Here you go," Xia Mo immediately flipped her hand and took out a bunch of body-strengthening pills from her soul space. These things could be refined in this world, and she gave them away without any hesitation.
Compared to the earth's energy in this room, she actually has an advantage.
"The reason why the strengthening pills you make are weak is because you are not cultivators and do not have the fire ability of cultivators," Xia Mo said, raising her hand and a small flame appeared at her fingertips. "Only strengthening pills made with the fire power of cultivators are fully effective."
Huangfu Qian looked at Xia Mo and frowned slightly.
"Because of the earth's energy, the energy of the earth's veins, which can be transformed into the immortal spiritual power I cultivate, hehe," Xia Mo answered Huangfu Qian.
“Yes,” Huangfu Qian nodded in understanding.
“Hehe,” Xia Mo said, “If you lend me your place for cultivation, I can help you refine a body-strengthening pill in exchange, but… there are conditions, for example, I can only do it when I have free time.”
“Okay,” Huangfu Qian nodded without the slightest hesitation.
“Put the medicine pot in here,” Xia Mo said.
She was pleasantly surprised on this trip and was so happy!
“Okay,” Huangfu Qian agreed without hesitation.
Huangfu Qian used a screen to block Xia Mo from cultivating in bed, and then had his trusted subordinates help build a stove.
Huangfu Qian's men were absolutely obedient to him. Faced with their master's orders, even though they were confused, they still did so without any hesitation or doubt.
