Chapter 18 : A Guest at Shao Feng's House

Shao Feng nodded in response to the reminder from System.

Actually she also didn't want to teleport directly to her bedroom, but if she teleported outside, the potential of being caught would be even greater.

"Maybe I should set a place to teleport." Shao Feng muttered as she sat on her study chair.

Shao Feng put her school bag on the table, right in front of her. She then opened the bag and took out her Storage Bag.

After opening the Storage Bag and taking out the Phoenix Furnace, Shao Feng was still amazed by the valuable thing.

She continued to stare at the Phoenix Furnance as if it would disappear if she realesed her gaze.

One second, three seconds, five seconds, Shao Feng's gaze of amazed dissipated as she remember the System's words.

Shao Feng shook her head vigorously, then said,

"System, aren't you going to teach me how to use this?" Said Shao Feng enthusiastically.

[Yes. But to make a pill, you need raw materials of Medicinal Pills and Herbs such as ginseng plant and Lingzhi mushroom.]

Shao Feng thought in her mind. She had forgotten that she had to have raw materials to be able to make pills.

"Alright, that means I have to go to the center of Medicinal Pills and Herbs market.

Before she hear the answer from the system, suddenly Shao Feng's bedroom door opened wide.

"Shao Feng? You're home? Since when did you come home? I didn't see you enter the house at all." Yu Ran said with raise the eyebrows on her face.

Yu Ran then stepped into Shao Feng's room to approach her daughter.

Seeing the mother who was walking towards her, Shao Feng frantically immediately hid the Phoenix Furnace under the table.

"What is that, Fengfeng?"

Oh shit, late.

Shao Feng's heartbeat pounding in panic. She couldn't hide the Phoenix Furnace because her mother had seen the Phoenix Furnace.

Now, Yu Ran was standing right beside Shao Feng while looking at the golden shiny object in her daughter's hand.

"I got this from my friend." Said Shao Feng lying.

Yu Ran seemed to nod in understanding as she continued to stare at the Phoenix Furnace.

"It is a very beautiful thing." Yu Ran said admiring the beauty of the Phoenix Furnace.

Shao Feng couldn't help but smile awkwardly in response to her mother's praise.

"Oh yeah, just now… who were you talking with?"

Hearing the mother's question, Shao Feng was now completely panicked. Her body remained calm even though her heart was beating very fast.

Shao Feng did not expect that her voice could be heard outside the room. She thought it was a fairly small voice.

Now Shao Feng was at a loss what to say. She looked at the corner of her study table. There's a cell phone there.

In that instant, Shao Feng immediately had an idea in her mind.

"I just called my friend."

Yu Ran saw that there was a phone on Shao Feng's study table, then smiled gently.

Yu Ran was very relieved to find out that Shao Feng had now started to open up to society and was no longer so introverted.

Calling friends, going to friends' houses to study… all the activities that Shao Feng had been doing lately made Yu Ran happy that Shao Feng had started interacting with other people.

Even the most surprising thing for Yu Ran was, now that Shao Feng had a male friend.

Whether they really were friends or had a special relationship, Yu Ran didn't know. Yu Ran would continue to support Shao Feng if her daughter wanted to have a romantic relationship with a man.

"Fengfeng, come out. There's your friend who's been waiting for you ever since." Yu Ran said as she gently stroked the top of Shao Feng's head.

Hearing her mother's statement, Shao Feng frowned. Who was the friend that her mother mean?

Shao Feng was very curious about the figure of her friend that her mother was mean. She immediately nodded and stood up from her chair to rush out of the room.

"Okay, ma'am. I'll see it."

Shao Feng and Yu Ran walked towards the front.

When she got there, Shao Feng saw a man sitting with his back to her. So Shao Feng could only see the man's back.

A moment later, the man turned around as Shao Feng was behind him. The man smiled and greeted Shao Feng in a friendly manner,

"Hello, Shao Feng!"

Seeing the man's face make Shao Feng shooked greatly, but since her mother was beside her, she tried to be as neutral as possible.

"Oh, An Yifan! Why did you come to my house?" Shao Feng asked in a familiar tone.

"I came to meet you." An Yifan replied to her.

Seeing the closeness between her daughter and An Yifan made Yu Ran happy. Even more with Shao Feng's very friendly words.

Yu Ran immediately took a step forward and get An Yifan and Shao Feng's attention.

"Alright, you two talk huh. I want to go to the kitchen first." Yu Ran said smiling and walked away towards the kitchen.

Now, only Shao Feng and An Yifan were left. The two of them sat on the floor because Shao Feng's house had neither chairs nor sofas.

Shao Feng looked at An Yifan with a serious expression on her face. She then started the chat,

"Okay, Mom's gone. Tell me, what exactly are you going to my house for?"

An Yifan looked back at Shao Feng, he replied casually,

"There is nothing serious. I just want to be your friend."

Hearing An Yifan's answer make Shao Feng roll her eyes, showing a lazy look on her face.

This man beside her was very curious about her, and it bother Shao Feng's activities. There were many things that Shao Feng want to do, there was no time for a man and romance.

But now, An Yifan is in front of her, she can't avoid or expel An Yifan out of her house.

Shao Feng just kept quiet and didn't reply to An Yifan's words. This caused a silent moment between the two of them.

In the midst of the silence, An Yifan's cell phone suddenly rang. An Yifan immediately reached into his trouser pocket and took out his cell phone to answer the call.

"Hello, Dad? What is it?" An Yifan answered the phone.

Shao Feng just stayed silent with a disinterested expression on her face. Now all she could do was stare at An Yifan who was talking on the phone. She with a lazy face watched the conversation between father and son.

"No, Dad. The 20-year-old Daichi Ginseng stock is still available at the factory warehouse."

[System Notice: The 20-year-old Daichi Ginseng is one of the types of ginseng that can be used to make pills in the Phoenix Furnace. Ginseng is usually used by cultivators to make their physical/body cultivation increase rapidly. In modern ages like now, cultivation is not well known by modern society, especially in Gen Z. Therefore, Daichi Ginseng is only used as an immune enhancer.]

Shao Feng almost choked when she heard the System say that in her mind. Shao Feng's eyes widened in surprise.

She didn't know who An Yifan really was. But when she heard An Yifan talk about Daichi Ginseng, it caught Shao Feng's attention and made her interested in An Yifan.

Now, Shao Feng was more focused on paying attention to An Yifan's conversation with his father.

"Alright, I'll tell the operational management team to find ginseng importers from abroad."

"See you later!"

A moment later, An Yifan hung up the phone.
