Starting as a War God: Global Goddesses Blocking my Door

```

Accompany Tang Shishi in the evening?

A man and a woman alone? In the same room? Dry wood and fierce fire?

Feeling the wave of shyness from Tang Shishi, phrases unfit for polite company involuntarily sprang to Ye Fan's mind.

"Cough, cough!"

Ye Fan quickly coughed and said, "Shishi, did something happen? If something's wrong, don't hide it. I probably can't accompany you this evening; if my sister-in-law finds out I'm with you, even if I jumped into the Yellow River, I wouldn't be able to clear my name!"

"Jump into the Yellow River and still can't clear your name?"

Having heard this, Tang Shishi was even more embarrassed. "Big Brother Ye, you're overthinking it! Here's what happened, just a moment ago Kong Haodong brazenly came to school to find me, and threatened that I must go to dinner with him at a Western restaurant tonight, or else he would make trouble at my house. I'm worried my mom can't handle it, so I'm asking for your help!"

"I don't know many people in Central Plains City, and Big Brother Ye is one of them. If it's inconvenient for you, then I'll look for someone else!"

"What? Kong Haodong? That bastard has surfaced again? Wasn't the lesson from before enough for him?" Ye Fan said, anger not finding a place to vent.

Ye Fan had not a single good impression of Kong Haodong. In his eyes, Kong Haodong was an utter scumbag.

His approach to Tang Shishi was mainly out of greed for her beauty. If Kong Haodong got Tang Shishi, at most he would play around with her, and as soon as the novelty wore off, he would certainly kick her to the curb.

Thinking of that no-good Kong Haodong harassing Tang Shishi again, Ye Fan's face darkened.

Tang Shishi nodded with grievance. "That's right, Big Brother Ye, I really didn't want to trouble you, but I had no other choice!"

"Alright, what time in the evening? I'll accompany you and meet this kid!" Ye Fan said in a cold voice.

When Tang Shishi heard what Ye Fan said, she felt a rush of gratitude. She knew that Ye Fan would definitely not refuse her.@@novelbin@@

Overwhelmed by her emotions, Tang Shishi said, "Kong Haodong said he would pick me up after school. It should be around five-thirty in the afternoon!"

"Good! I'll be on time at Baihua Road Primary School at five-thirty!" Ye Fan responded firmly.

After agreeing to Tang Shishi's request, Ye Fan rushed to Yaozhen Pavilion.

Seeing Ye Fan's arrival, the mature and beautiful owner of Yaozhen Pavilion, Kong Xuan, expressed her surprise. "Oh my! Isn't this Mr. Ye? Such a rare guest, really a rare visitor! It seems Mr. Ye has been incredibly busy recently; he hasn't had the time to visit Yaozhen Pavilion and see me!"

"Boss Kong, you're joking!" Ye Fan flashed a smile.

Ye Fan had a deep impression of Kong Xuan. In his memory, Kong Xuan seemed to always wear a cheongsam, perfectly showcasing her stunning figure, almost every man who saw Kong Xuan for the first time couldn't take his eyes off her.

With a pursed smile, Kong Xuan said, "Mr. Ye, tell me, what kind of medicinal herbs do you need today? As long as the price is below ten million, I can provide it for free. If it exceeds ten million, then I'll have to charge you at cost."

"Boss Kong is this generous?" Ye Fan was somewhat surprised.

With a face full of smiles, Kong Xuan replied, "Spending a little money to make friends with a Martial Arts King seems like a surefire good deal to me!"

After the battle by Yanming Lake, Ye Fan's consecutive slaying of two Martial Kings caused a huge sensation in Central Plains City. As the owner of Yaozhen Pavilion, how could Kong Xuan not know about Ye Fan's astonishing record?

Currently, within Central Plains City, countless people wanted to foster good relations with Ye Fan, Kabg Xuan was very much aware of this fact.

Kong Xuan wasn't short on money, and if she could spend a little to establish a good relationship with Ye Fan, it would be too worthwhile.

"Alright then!" Ye Fan blinked.

He knew Kong Xuan was generous. If he refused, she would definitely not take his money anyway.

Luckily, he genuinely had a good impression of Kong Xuan. If Yaozhen Pavilion ever encountered any difficulties and Kong Xuan asked for help, he would definitely offer his modest assistance.

Seeing that Ye Fan did not reject her, Kong Xuan cheerfully said, "Mr. Ye, let me know what medicinal herbs you need, and I'll have them ready for you as soon as possible!"

"Good!" Ye Fan nodded his head.

The next moment, without hesitation, he wrote down the names of over thirty different herbs on a sheet of white paper.

After he finished writing, Ye Fan handed the paper to Kong Xuan, saying, "Boss Kong, I'll have to trouble you with this!"

"Diamond Grass, Crotch Peak Leaf, Cypress Root..."

Taking the paper, Kong Xuan glanced at it and expressed her surprise, "Mr. Ye, all these herbs you requested are for treating internal injuries. Although none are particularly rare, gathering all of them at once won't be easy! We should have about twenty types available in the Yaozhen Pavilion, but for the rest, I'll need to source them from other places."

"How long will it take?" Ye Fan asked.

Kong Xuan replied, "At most three hours! Mr. Ye, if you're not in a hurry, you could have lunch here in the meantime."

"Alright, three hours it is then, I'll wait!" Ye Fan said decisively.

After his identity was exposed, Ye Fan's sense of urgency increased. If Kong Xuan could gather all thirty-odd herbs within three hours, it would be perfect.

Kong Xuan was somewhat taken aback by his response but, being incredibly astute, she didn't ask Ye Fan what he needed so many healing herbs for.

True to her reputation as the owner of the Yaozhen Pavilion, Kong Xuan's efficiency was impressive. Ye Fan had thought he would indeed have to wait three hours, but to his surprise, it took her less than an hour to gather all of the herbs.

"Huff, huff!"

Kong Xuan returned, weary from her exertions, her arms full of all the herbs as she approached Ye Fan.

Wiping the sweat from her brow, Kong Xuan turned to Ye Fan and said, "Mr. Ye, mission accomplished! I've gathered all the herbs!"

"Thank you, Boss Kong!" Ye Fan said with sincere gratitude.

Kong Xuan smiled, "It is my honor to be of service to Mr. Ye!"

"You're too kind, Boss Kong. By the way, is there a place inside Yaozhen Pavilion where one can prepare herbal decoctions?" asked Ye Fan.

Kong Xuan responded candidly, "Yes, of course, there is! Yaozhen Pavilion is the largest pharmacy in Central Plains; not only a place for preparing decoctions, but we also have a pill furnace. However, the art of alchemy is almost lost. We do have an old alchemy furnace here, it's practically an antique!"

"Oh? There's a pill furnace here? That's really great!" Ye Fan was pleasantly surprised.

Kong Xuan looked at him, bewildered, "What? Does Mr. Ye also know how to practice alchemy?" Explore hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire

"I know a thing or two! Boss Kong, could I trouble you to lend me the pill furnace?" Ye Fan asked seriously.

Kong Xuan nodded, "No problem at all! Mr. Ye, please follow me upstairs!"

Following Kong Xuan to the top floor, Ye Fan saw an antique bronze pill furnace placed in the center of the room. As the Junior Pavilion Master of the Medicine God Pavilion which stood amongst the oldest sects in the world, Ye Fan could tell at a glance that the furnace was of good quality, handed down from ancient times, at least several hundred years old.

"Mr. Ye, we've been treating this pill furnace as a decorative piece; it hasn't been used for many years. If you wish to practice alchemy, by all means, give it a try!" said Kong Xuan.

Ye Fan responded with a nod, "Thank you, Boss Kong! In that case, Boss Kong, please keep this floor off-limits to others for today. I will need to stay here for some time!"

"Sure!" Kong Xuan nodded.

Afterward, Ye Fan requested a few more herbs, and once Kong Xuan delivered them to him, she tactfully left.

The entire top floor of Yaozhen Pavilion was open only to Ye Fan for the day.

Inside the top floor of Yaozhen Pavilion, Ye Fan began to light a fire under the pill furnace and sort the herbs Kong Xuan had collected for him.

Once the fire was at the right temperature, Ye Fan began to place the herbs into the pill furnace one after another.

Standing downstairs, Kong Xuan thought to herself in amazement, "I hadn't expected Ye Fan to know how to practice alchemy. He really is more mysterious than I thought! Previously, I assumed he was just a Martial Arts Grandmaster, but he turned out to be a Martial King! However, the art of alchemy has been lost for over a thousand years, I wonder if Ye Fan will actually succeed in making a pill today?"
