Chapter 102 : Smuggling Private Goods [2]

However, this still wouldn't reduce him to begging, after all he was a prince of a nation. This status alone was worth a lot of money. People could let him owe for a while—as a prince, he still had his income and would eventually pay it off.But after this mess, the Fourth Prince only had what was publicly his—those properties granted by the king. Only these others didn't dare demand, and he didn't dare sell.

This time, the Fourth Prince only considered it negligence by his subordinates. His hatred toward Xiaoyao wasn't very high. Although he was also angry, he hated his negligent subordinates most.

If he knew this was originally Xiaoyao's calculated scheme against him, he would definitely direct overwhelming hatred toward Xiaoyao, making Xiaoyao sneeze even while sleeping—well, just sneezing.

"Achoo..."

Xiaoyao rubbed his nose, wondering who was thinking about him?

"Young brother, drink some cold remedy tea—ancestral secret recipe, effective with one drink," The old man in front of Xiaoyao said opportunistically. Xiaoyao was currently at a herbal tea stall.

"No need, I don't have a cold. Someone just missed me. By the way, uncle, why are you setting up a stall here? Is there business selling herbal tea here?" Xiaoyao shook his head and looked at the old man with some curiosity.

"Business isn't great, but it's enough to get by," the old man said somewhat bitterly.

"Your stall here definitely won't have good business. Although medicinal materials are cheap here and your raw materials cost less, everyone here knows alchemy. Any random pill solves problems—who would drink herbal tea," Xiaoyao shook his head. This old man brought it on himself, selling herbal tea here without thinking about what kind of place this was. Who knows which genius thought of this method.

Xiaoyao hadn't left Lingyue County yet. He was still wandering around inside, and in the most bustling places at that. However, others still couldn't find his presence. Even if the Young Miss stood in front of him now, she might not recognize him.

He had already used disguise techniques to simply make himself up and slightly used cultivation methods to change his physical characteristics. Ordinary cultivation methods couldn't achieve this—even Emperor-level experts would find it very difficult. But Xiaoyao's cultivation method was very unique, allowing him to do this easily and even continue changing his body to greater degrees.

Physical characteristic changes plus disguise techniques meant even being looked at face-to-face wouldn't necessarily reveal him, let alone in such a bustling place with surging crowds. How could others discover this "stranger" among the masses?

As mentioned above, even if the Young Miss came, she couldn't find him. Guxing might be able to sense something. Xiaoyao's current appearance was truly incredible—too different from his original self.

Now, Xiaoyao was actually a short, chubby little fat man. That he could change his bones and flesh this way was something no one would believe—that the person before them was Xiaoyao.

Although Xiaoyao wasn't the extremely handsome, tall, rich type, he was quite tall and had a very pleasant appearance—well, the very pleasant kind. While he didn't have the potential to make people infatuated, he was above average.s. Unless it was something particularly good, Xiaoyao generally wouldn't notice.

How could Xiaoyao still discover things if they were in medicine cabinets?

Using his nose—his nose could smell many things. Although he had never smelled top-tier medicinal materials, that feeling definitely wouldn't be wrong!

What feeling? This kind of thing could only be understood, not expressed, because even Xiaoyao couldn't explain it clearly!

For alchemists, identifying medicines by smell was a very important skill. So Xiaoyao knowing this wasn't particularly unusual. Because of this, even when the few good things he found were discovered by others, it didn't attract too much attention, because some people felt they could do the same.

Huang Family Medicine Shop?

Eh, could this be the Huang Family Medicine Shop from Qingyun City?

When Xiaoyao saw this medicine shop's plaque, he was stunned for a moment. Thinking of the Qingyun City Huang family he had dealt with many times, he wondered if this could be the Qingyun City Huang family. But soon this thought was dismissed by himself.

Although the Huang family of Qingyun City was indeed a very good medicine shop, they shouldn't have such great strength—not that they lacked the strength to do business here, but lacked the strength to own such a large shop here.

This Huang Family Medicine Shop had a very large scale, almost an entire courtyard compound. This was in Lingyue County's central area. Even the Fourth Prince couldn't afford property nearby, which showed how expensive shops here were. Even if rented, the rent would be terrifying.

Although the Qingyun City Huang family was also very wealthy, they didn't seem to reach this level. Moreover, the Qingyun City Huang family seemed to only operate within the Heavenly Wind Kingdom, radiating outward from Qingyun City as the center, reaching areas that even the Heavenly Wind Kingdom generally didn't cover.

This medicine shop was definitely among the top in Lingyue County and shouldn't be related to Qingyun Province!

"Young sir, would you like to buy something?" Seeing Xiaoyao standing at the entrance in a daze, a shop assistant came to greet him. Although they were among the top here, there was no reason to refuse business that came to the door. They also needed to draw in customers who were hesitating whether to enter.

"Let me first see what you have here?" Xiaoyao nodded and walked in.

"Young sir, it seems this is your first time in our Lingyue County!" the assistant asked with a smile.

Xiaoyao nodded and replied: "Yes, first time here..." Still brought here by kidnapping…
