Chapter 1723: Chapter 1722: Making Floral Dew

“What exactly do you want?!” Qiao Xiaomai raised a hand to rub her arm, her face showing even more vigilance.

Prince Qingye looked around upon hearing this, inspecting Qiao Xiaomai’s tent. “I think this place is too shabby to be worthy of you, Miss. How about I arrange for a better residence?”

“No thank you! Get out!”

“This is my territory. Is it really appropriate for you to have such a hostile attitude?” Qingye’s face suddenly turned cold and fierce.

“Bei Yun! Bei Yun!” Qiao Xiaomai immediately shouted for her neighbor, Bei Yun. “Qingye is threatening me! Bei Yun, help!”

“Hahaha!” Qingye burst into laughter upon seeing her panic. He turned to leave, but as he glanced back, his gaze met Bei Yun’s ancient, monstrous face.

Qingye’s expression instantly turned pale, and he quickly retreated a few steps.

Bei Yun smiled faintly, “Prince Qingye, visiting here in the dead of night—what’s the matter?”

“N-Nothing.” Qingye hastily composed himself, patted his chest, and explained, “When I was in Daqi, I suffered losses because of her. Now that she’s a prisoner, I came over to scare her a bit.”

“Prince, you just said she’s a treasure—and a treasure that produces treasures. If you frighten her, she might stop producing treasures. Would you be willing to bear that loss?”

“You jest, Bei Divine Doctor.” Qingye forced a smile. “I won’t frighten her anymore. So, will she start making Floral Dew tomorrow?”

Bei Yun turned to look at Qiao Xiaomai.

Qiao Xiaomai asked him, “Are you still adding small surprises to the Floral Dew?”

“No more surprises. There isn’t an endless supply of those.”

“Then I’ll start tomorrow.”

Bei Yun glanced at Qingye. “Is the Prince satisfied now?”

“Satisfied, very satisfied.” Qingye grinned even wider. “Bei Divine Doctor, Miss Qiao, sorry to disturb you both. Please rest, I’ll head back to my tent as well.”

With that, he hurriedly left Qiao Xiaomai’s tent.

Qiao Xiaomai stared at his departing figure, her brows knitted tightly. “He’s not simply trying to intimidate me. I have a feeling he has other motives.”

“Don’t worry. I’ll protect you.”

“Your way of protecting me is by sending me to the other side, not keeping me here,” Qiao Xiaomai rolled her eyes.

Bei Yun chuckled, “Let me think it over first. Get some rest.”

With these words, he turned and went back to his own tent.

Having been frightened by Qingye, Qiao Xiaomai no longer felt inclined to bathe. She went straight to bed.

The next morning, after breakfast, she stayed in the kitchen to make Floral Dew. As long as Bei Yun didn’t add anything extra to it, it could be sent to Daqi. Right now, there was a war going on, so making money for military expenses through Floral Dew wasn’t a bad idea.

The Floral Dew was swiftly completed; Qiao Xiaomai personally sealed the jars before handing them over to the people of the Three Kingdoms.

Qingye was in charge of this matter. For now, he stored the Floral Dew in a tent, planning to amass a large enough quantity before extorting a good price from the other side.

If he couldn’t extort them, they would drink it themselves. It tasted great and had effective properties, so they wouldn’t lose out.

Over the next three days, Qiao Xiaomai continued producing Floral Dew. Using the camp’s large stove, she quickly completed a thousand jars.

It was enough for a transaction now. Prince Qingye began shouting to the other side, announcing that they had a thousand jars of Floral Dew for sale at ten thousand taels per jar, and asking if they were willing to buy.

Ten thousand taels per jar—this price was reasonably cheap compared to Capital City. Later on, when Qiao Xiaomai stopped selling Floral Dew, Bei Yun would sell only ten jars daily, setting his own price, which was typically no less than ten thousand taels per jar.

Now that Qingye was selling them for ten thousand taels per jar, it truly wasn’t expensive. Once transported to Capital City, it would definitely sell out quickly.
