Chapter 953 Yihong... Building?
Perhaps it was because he had eaten the plague that was like the thick soup of Nurgle's old fire, and Mo Cheng's boiling brain had not yet cooled down, so he lost his sense of proportion in his actions.
When the woman threw the thing in her hand over and the sound attracted everyone's attention, Mo Cheng realized how thoughtless he had been just now.
Even in modern times, if you grab someone's shoulder on the street and say you just smelled a nice scent and want to know what kind of lotion or perfume it is...
The lightest consequence of doing this is getting two loud slaps in the face.
Realizing that something was wrong, Mo Cheng turned into nothingness and disappeared on the spot before others could see what he looked like.
"It seems that the plague will damage intelligence. It's stupid."
Mo Cheng covered his forehead, not knowing whether he simply didn't remember it, or the effect of the plague was so strong that he was so stupid.
Shaking his head, Mo Cheng did not continue to stay in that place, but maintained the state of [Ghost Walking], and at the same time, closed his other senses as before, leaving only his sense of smell to find the smell that could make his [feelings] react.
As for the girl just now, Mo Cheng put her last, as there was really no way he could go to her for advice again.
After all, although the [feeling] just now had a reaction, it was not just her who had it. Mo Cheng's sense of smell could detect that there were several similar smells passing by, and that girl happened to be the closest one.
[Yue Ting] is very large. For Mo Cheng, it is extremely troublesome to search for an unknown specific target in such a large place.
Not long after, Mo Cheng found another target that could arouse his [feelings]. It was another woman, and the smell on her body also caused a [feeling] reaction.
But just as he was about to try to use words to get the origin of the fragrance out, Mo Cheng's footsteps suddenly paused, and then he clamped his index and middle fingers together, clamping an arrow shot from a strong bow. The arrow was engraved with an unknown talisman, which could actually attack him who had turned into a ghost.
"Scholar, you have committed a crime. Come with me!"
The people who jumped out from all directions were the constables from Yue Ting. Apparently, because Mo Cheng's behavior just now could be considered as indecent in some sense, the constables filed a case.
No one knew how they discovered him in the [Ghost Walking] form, but Mo Cheng didn't want to have anything to do with them at this moment, and he didn't want anyone to know that the scholar who committed the crime was Mo Cheng.
It's simple, the charge of indecent assault doesn't sound very nice.
With this in mind, Mo Cheng turned into a breeze and left. The detectives could only realize that the criminal they were chasing had escaped.
Find the next one and be careful to avoid the constables.
But I don't know if those detectives have noticed some pattern. Whenever Mo Cheng finds a smell that can cause a reaction in his [senses], those detectives always appear quickly, as if they have installed some kind of positioning system on him.
Realizing that he would not be able to carry out his work unless he got rid of the detectives, Mo Cheng had no choice but to use one body to remain invisible and play hide-and-seek with the detectives throughout the city, while the other body appeared and went to the place pointed by the clue.
It was a shop, and the name on the shop sign was just two very simple words - Yihong.
Before the police came to disturb him, Mo Cheng heard the women mention a place - Yihong - from their conversations with others.
It was noon and no one seemed to be in the shop. Mo Cheng walked in directly, but suddenly heard a voice behind him, "Oh, you finally found me?"
The shop door behind him closed lightly, revealing the person hiding behind it. "Just now I heard from the constable that there is a scholar who is looking for beautiful women with a fragrant body in the city today. I am afraid that you will not come to my door."
"After all..." The figure behind the door was graceful, with a round fan covering her lips to hide the slight smile, "The women you are looking for are all customers of our store. If you don't look for me as the boss, wouldn't it mean that I am plain-looking and not worthy of your eyes?"
"So, the fragrance on those women is actually the rouge you sell?" Mo Cheng looked around and found that there was indeed rouge on display in the store. "Why is the store called Yihong?"
If the name of the store wasn't missing a word like "building" or "pavilion", Mo Cheng would have thought it was a place of fireworks.
This is also a kind of stereotype, just like when he sees the word "Yue Lai" on the sign, he will subconsciously think it is an inn.
"Have you not heard of [Red Fragrance and Green Jade] and [Yihong Kuailv]?" The proprietress waved her round fan. "And the fragrance is not from rouge, but from perfume liquid. Occasionally, our store will help regular customers get some small things that are not within the scope of our business."
"No problem."
Whether it was rouge or perfume, it was not a problem for Mo Cheng. He put the package in his hand on the table and pushed it forward. "Please help me make the contents into perfume, Madam Boss."
Those scents can cause [feelings] reactions, which may be the refining techniques or the combination of them. No matter which one it is, Mo Cheng still has time to explore and study it.
As he spoke, Mo Cheng's hand touched the token given by Ling Ying. If the other party did not agree, he would have to use the token of the person in charge to ask the other party to cooperate.
As the person in charge, Ling Ying should have that authority.
After hearing Mo Cheng's request, the proprietress was a little surprised. "So, you are looking for beautiful women with fragrance in the whole city, not to find a target, but to ask where they buy their fragrance liquid?"
"The word 'take action' is too arbitrary."
If he intends to take action, then those women will have no chance of keeping their bodies intact before the police arrive.
By that time, the detectives would no longer be investigating cases of indecent assault, but rather major dismemberment and murder cases.
"Rumors spread like wildfire, and three people can make a tiger. Young master, you'd better be more careful in your words and actions."
The proprietress untied the bundle and looked at the herbs inside. " This is the first time I've used herbs to make scented liquid."
"Please do your best. This matter is very important." The matter about the plague could not be told, and Mo Cheng was too lazy to find any excuse to fool people.
"I can't guarantee that I can make it, eh..."
As she was talking, the proprietress realized that there was more than one portion of medicinal herbs in the package. "Do you want to make all of these into scented liquid? Three portions?"
After getting the accurate response, the proprietress shook her head and chuckled, "You actually want to make three servings at the same time. The young master looks young, but he has a big appetite. I kind of believe the previous rumors."
The proprietress's words made Mo Cheng sigh lightly. He hadn't noticed it just now, but now he realized that she was teasing him for being a lecher and a lustful person.
