Chapter 167: Kalisna's Main Business (9)

At night, Gu Chang happily fell asleep hugging his five well-washed cats. He lay in his arms and legs on the bed, sleeping soundly.

Not long after, Cedric came in through the window. He took off his coat and placed it on the back of the chair. Then he walked to the bed and sat down, his eyes gently gazing at Gu Chang's sleeping face.

He has been very busy recently and cannot come to see Gu Chang early.

Cedric was about to lift the covers when he heard snoring.

Looking at the bulging quilt, Cedric frowned slightly and lifted half of the quilt.

In the dim room, five pairs of green eyes stared at Cedric.

Cedric was silent. Where did these five cats come from?

"Scare!" A white cat was the first to make a threatening cry.

They were not familiar with Cedric's scent, so they instinctively protected Gu Chang.

Gu Chang woke up from his sleep when he heard the sound. He subconsciously raised his hand and touched the white cat's head, saying in a daze: "He is one of us... Don't hit him..."

Cedric had wanted to hold Gu Chang to sleep, but that probably wouldn't happen tonight. Cedric wanted to move the five cats under the bed, but when he saw Gu Chang fall asleep again, he could only grit his teeth and move a chair from the desk to the bedside. Then he sat on the chair and stared at the five cats.

A night passed, and Gu Chang woke up at dawn.

He sat up and reached to his side, only to feel the soft cat's belly.

Gu Chang suddenly became much more sober. He looked left and right, and then saw a piece of paper with words written on it on the chair beside the bed.

He moved to the bedside and picked up the paper and began to read it.

"Dear Ah Chang, your cats are very cute, but they don't welcome me very much. I want to sleep with you next time we meet."

Gu Chang stroked the cat's head and couldn't help but laugh. He had already thought of the scene last night when Cedric could only look at him helplessly.

"Cedric is my lover, you can't attack him." Gu Chang thought it would be better to put the cat in another room when sleeping at night. Last night, because he went to bed a little early, he forgot about it.

It seems that he has to go to Cedric today and comfort him.

Time passed slowly, and in the blink of an eye, it was a week later.

Five days before Gu Chang was to be conferred the title of nobility, Freya had already drawn up a territory for him. It was located in the fertile southern region of the city of Eurivido.

After completing the conferment ceremony, Gu Chang will go to the city of Urivito in half a month to manage the city.

Of course, this will happen later.

A little after five in the afternoon, at Kallisna's house.

After Neve finished mopping the floor, she sat on a small stool to rest. These days, while she was working here, Kallisna also taught her some pharmacology.

It just so happened that the old lady living next door to her had knee pain recently, so she had to ask Kallisna how to relieve the old lady's knee pain.

Just then, Kallisna woke up and left the bedroom. Neve stood up, wiped her hands on her apron, and looked at Kallisna with sparkling eyes. "Ms. Kallisna, I want to ask you a question."

Kalisina had been in a good mood recently. She admired Neve's diligence and willingness to learn. So, she quickly agreed to Neve's question, "Ask."

Kalisna sat on the sofa wrapped in a soft blanket and motioned for Neve to come sit with her.

Niffe smiled and briefly explained the old illness of the old lady next door.

Then Kalisina personally taught Neve how to prepare the painkiller. Neve learned quickly. She held the prepared painkiller and said to Kalisina happily, "Thank you for teaching me so much. I really appreciate it."

There were doctors in the royal city, and the old lady also went to see a doctor, but the medicine she took had no effect and her condition became worse.

Because the old lady often helped Neve and would leave her homemade bread or fresh milk, Neve wanted to repay her, so when she saw that Kalisna could make potions, she asked her about it.

Only then did I learn that Kallisna's main business was to concoct skin-care tonics for the ladies, and also to make perfumes. The ladies liked to apply the perfumes behind their ears or on their necks, and the scent of Kallisna's perfumes was longer-lasting than perfume.

Therefore, Kalisina has a group of stable and wealthy customers. Those customers will not tell others about Kalisina, as they think the fewer people who know about her, the better, so that they can let Kalisina concentrate on serving them.

She has to prepare different ointments and youth waters for each customer because each customer has a different physique and allergen, so Kalisa also understands pharmacology.

"You're welcome. You're a good child. I'm happy to help you." Kalisna smiled. She hadn't yet told Neve that she was a witch. The child only thought she was learning pharmacology to make ointments and waters of youth. But Kalisna had lived long enough to know some lost medical knowledge.

So it was easy for her to make something like this.

Now that Neve had finished what she needed to do, she changed out of her apron and maid's clothes, said goodbye to Kalisna, and left with the potion.

More than half an hour later, Neve walked back to the house she rented. She now had a stable job and no longer needed Zephir to help pay her rent.

At this time, the old lady next door knocked on Neve's door. Neve put down the tomatoes in her hand, wiped her hands on her apron, and then walked to the door and opened it.

"Grandma, why are you here?" As soon as Niv opened the door, she saw the old lady holding a basket of vegetables and looking at her with a smile.

"Child, I brought you some fresh vegetables." The old lady said kindly.

"Come in and sit down. I'm preparing dinner. Have you had dinner?" Niv smiled and helped the old lady to the sofa, and asked gently.

"Then please cook me dinner." The old lady sat trembling on the sofa. Her family rarely visited her, as they all lived in another house. Only her son would clean up her house from time to time.

"It's okay. I can't eat that much by myself." Niv said as she picked up the basket. "Just sit here for a while. I'll go cook."

Kalisna said the medicine had to be dissolved in water before it could be taken, just three drops in a glass of water.

Niv thought it would be better to try it herself first, since this was something to be given to the elderly to drink.

Soon, she prepared dinner.

Neve came out of the kitchen carrying a bowl of fragrant tomato soup. After putting the soup on the dining table, she went to get the fried pancakes.

After serving the prepared dinner to the table, Neve helped the old lady to the table and let her sit steadily on the chair.

"Thank you, child, for making such delicious tomato soup." The old lady said gratefully.

Niv smiled and said, "It's nothing. It's not convenient for you to be alone. You can come to my place more often in the future. I will cook for you."

The two began to eat their delicious dinner. Neve also cooked two eggs, one for her and one for the old lady.

Niv originally wanted to make scrambled eggs with tomatoes, but she thought that she had never seen anyone here make scrambled eggs with tomatoes, and she was afraid that the old lady would not be used to it, so she didn't make it.

More than half an hour later, the two finished their dinner and the old lady helped Neve clean up the dishes.

Neve thanked the old lady for helping her. She really wanted to know the old lady's name, but the old lady refused to tell her.

The old lady said that once Neve knew her name, the bond between them would deepen. Besides, she was already in her seventies and might die any day.

Although Niv understood, she was still a little curious because she felt that the old lady was well dressed and just said that her children didn't visit her often.

After packing up everything, Neve sent the old lady back home. When she returned to her house again, she remembered that she should try the potion.

Neve immediately poured a glass of water, then took out the light blue potion, unplugged the cork from the bottle, and poured three drops of potion water into it.

Neve picked up the cup and shook it a few times. Looking at the colorless and tasteless water, Neve closed her eyes and drank all the water in the cup.
