Adorably Cute Baby: Mommy's Going Against the Heavens

Chapter 219 3 big families

"The Baili family?" The surrounding people whispered amongst themselves, their gazes towards Shen Yunxi filled with envy, jealousy, and resentment. Being able to establish a connection with an ancient clan—that was an incredibly fortunate thing!

Shen Yunxi glanced at Baili Qingli indifferently and replied indifferently, "Shen Yunxi".

A hint of surprise flashed in Baili Qingli's eyes, but she quickly regained her composure and asked with a light laugh, "May I ask, Miss Shen, were those third-tier pills you made?"

Shen Yunxi shrugged and said casually, "We didn't make it."

Baili Qingli was clearly not entirely convinced either. She tentatively asked, "Miss Shen, could you please introduce me to that alchemist? Our Baili family is currently recruiting alchemists with generous compensation."

Shen Yunxi looked at her with a half-smile and slowly said, "I don't know them. Ningbao bought those pills from someone else. She thought she had too many, so she resold some of them."

Those who bought the pills before: "!!!"

The pills they bought at great expense turned out to be resold?

Baili Qingli wanted to say something more, but Shen Yunxi interrupted her, "Miss Baili, is there anything else? If not, we'll be leaving now."

Seeing Shen Yunxi's cold attitude, Baili Qingli didn't press the matter further and could only say "I'm sorry".

As Shen Yunxi and her group brushed past Baili Qingli, Baili Qingli's gaze involuntarily fell on Zhiyan.

His flamboyant red robes accentuated his snow-white skin, and his exquisite features appeared as if meticulously sculpted by a master craftsman.

However, those dark, ink-black eyes radiated a coldness beyond their years, causing Baili Qingli's heart to tremble and her to subconsciously look away.

"He's only ten years old, yet he has such a terrifying gaze. How interesting!" Baili Qingli thought to herself.

Seeing this, the boy behind her asked with a hint of jealousy, "What is Li'er thinking about?"

Baili Qingli's lips curled slightly, with a hint of teasing: "Jealous?"

The boy didn't answer, but silently clenched his fist.

Baili Qingli chuckled and said, "Do you still remember the young demon boy that Mu Qing and the others captured in the Boundless Sea a month ago?"

The boy nodded: "I remember, but in the end, he got away!"

"Hmm, it's said that the young demon boy is incredibly handsome. Do you think that boy was good-looking?" Baili Qingli continued to ask, her gaze drifting towards the backs of Shen Yunxi and her group in the distance.

The boy followed her gaze, his brow furrowing slightly: "You suspect he is?"

“No, she isn’t,” Baili Qingli shook her head and chuckled. “My mother once said that the young demon boy suffered from a soul-loss disorder and had no thoughts; all his actions were driven by bodily instincts, including his escape. But this young boy, who was just helping sell medicine, acted with clear thought. How could I possibly think he is that young demon boy?”

The two stopped talking about that topic and started choosing Horcruxes instead.

After leaving the underground trading market, Shen Yunxi, Di Xuanshang, and Zhiyan walked side by side, while Shen Ruoning and Shen Ruoyu skipped ahead like two birds just released from their cages.

Shen Yunxi glanced at the longsword in Zhiyan's hand and asked, "This sword was bought by Xue Rong, but how did you get it?"

Zhi Yan explained calmly, "There is a remnant soul of a golden dragon inside this sword, which resonated with the dragon bloodline in my body, so it was awakened just now. That movement... was greeting me."

"So, this sword isn't a spiritual treasure, but a sacred artifact?" Shen Yunxi raised an eyebrow, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes.
