Old Man Xu couldn't help but say, "Since the exchange has been made, let them be. It's only for a few days anyway."
Feng Ninghe, unable to refuse, nodded in agreement.
She took Si Xin Xin's hand and said, "Fine, I'll take you with me for these few days, but this is a one-time exception."
Upon hearing that she could stay and wouldn't be driven away, Si Xin Xin's eyes curved into crescents, her smile radiant as she nodded vigorously.
"The others are still in the mountain range and haven't returned. Let's go out for dinner."
Saying this, Feng Ninghe picked up the little pink bun.
Si Xin Xin quickly wrapped her arms around Feng Ninghe's neck, her small face buried deeply against her.
The pretty sister's body was so soft and fragrant.
Not at all like her father, who was like a cold block of ice.
Did other children with mothers get hugged and cuddled like this every day?
How wonderful it would be if the pretty sister were her mother!
Thinking this, Si Xin Xin couldn't help but feel a little disappointed.
It wasn't until evening that the Feng family entourage returned home in full splendor.
Seeing Feng Tong Tong with a shiny bald head, Madam Zhang's eyes rolled back, and she nearly fainted.
"Your... your hair... what happened!"
Madam Zhang was so agitated she could barely speak coherently.
Her daughter had always cherished her flowing, beautiful hair, but now, she was completely bald!
Feng Tong Tong's face was full of tears. "Mother, it's all Feng Ninghe's fault. She deliberately pushed me towards the Blazing Spirit Blood Lotus, making me a target for the Heavenly Spirit Beast, causing me to lose my hair. Mother, you must help me!"
Seeing Feng Tong Tong's state, Madam Zhang was equally anxious.
She quickly took Feng Tong Tong's hand. "I'll have someone look into ways to regrow hair. Please be patient."
Feng Tong Tong tearfully sobbed, "Looking like this, how will I ever face the First Prince? Mother, Feng Ninghe is a calamity, she cannot be allowed to live!"
Madam Zhang understood the urgency of the situation and quickly comforted her. "Tong Tong, don't worry. Feng Ninghe is just a good-for-nothing. I'll find a couple of people to track her down and kill her. We don't need to do it ourselves. The priority now is to find a way to save your hair..."
A moment later, a luxurious carriage stopped in front of the Hundred Elixir Pavilion.
"Miss, we've arrived."
The maid lifted the carriage curtain and helped the woman in black robes out of the carriage.
The black-robed figure was Feng Tong Tong.
She rushed into the Hundred Elixir Pavilion, her eyes filled with urgency. "The Hundred Elixir Pavilion collects rare medicines from all over the world. They must have a way to make my hair grow back in a short time!"
Meanwhile, Feng Ninghe, who was dining at Tianxiang Tower by the window with Si Xin Xin and Immortal Xu,
Her peripheral vision inadvertently swept across the Hundred Elixir Pavilion opposite them, and her hand movements paused slightly.
Si Xin Xin was happily devouring the large chicken leg in her hand when she saw Feng Ninghe suddenly stand up.
"Old man, you accompany Xin Xin to finish her meal. I'll be back shortly."
Not long after Feng Tong Tong stormed into the Hundred Elixir Pavilion, she stormed out again, her face contorted with anger.
The maid hurried to her side to comfort her. "Third Miss, the Hundred Elixir Pavilion doesn't have the medicine you want. Shall we try the Willow Face Pavilion? Doesn't the Willow Face Pavilion also have a mysterious third-grade alchemist? They must have a solution to your problem."
Feng Tong Tong glared at the maid. "There are so many distinguished guests at the Willow Face Pavilion. What if we run into someone? Wouldn't that be too embarrassing."
Feng Tong Tong was filled with annoyance. She waved her hand to dismiss the maid and looked up, noticing an old man sitting at a humble stall across from the Hundred Elixir Pavilion.
Sensing Feng Tong Tong's gaze, the maid followed her line of sight.
An old man was sitting at an inconspicuous stall.
The sign in front of the stall clearly read 'Hair Growth'.
At this moment, all Feng Tong Tong wanted was for her beautiful hair to return. She didn't care about anything else and walked towards the stall. "Can this grow hair?"
The old man slowly looked up, his gaze falling on Feng Tong Tong. "Indeed. I have a bottle of hair growth liquid here. Apply it, and it takes effect immediately. You can grow as much hair as you want."
"Is it really that miraculous? Let me try it quickly!"
Feng Tong Tong's tone was somewhat anxious.
To get her hair back, she would spare no expense!
The old man bared his teeth and grinned, nimbly pulling out a small porcelain bottle and pouring some green liquid onto Feng Tong Tong's arm.
The arm where the green liquid was applied began to grow hair at a visible speed. In just a moment, the hair had already reached the ground.
The old man stroked his long beard with a smile. "Young lady, this is a family heirloom hair growth secret. Don't miss out, you can grow it as long as you wish."
The old man waved his hand, and a surge of spiritual energy shot out from his palm, cutting off the wildly growing hair. The hair growth then stopped.
Feng Tong Tong was ecstatic. She stared at the bottle of medicine with fervent eyes and reached out to snatch it.
Before her hand could touch the bottle, the old man put it away. "Young lady, you haven't paid the spirit stones yet, and you want to take the item?"
Feng Tong Tong, unable to hide her eagerness, blurted out, "How many spirit stones?"
The old man held up five fingers.
Feng Tong Tong threw a bag of spirit stones without a second word. "Here are the five thousand spirit stones you asked for. Can I have the medicine now?"
The old man glanced at the bag of spirit stones on the table and shook his head generously. "Young lady, I said fifty thousand spirit stones."
"What?"
Feng Tong Tong shrieked. "What kind of miraculous medicine is this that costs fifty thousand spirit stones!"
Fifty thousand spirit stones was no small sum, and it was certainly not something she could afford.
The old man crossed his arms and calmly replied, "Heirloom items are worth this price. Buy it if you want, or leave."
Feng Tong Tong suppressed her inner anger and revealed her identity. "I am the third young lady of the Feng family. If you are willing to give the Feng family some face, the Feng family will definitely provide strong support if you ever need it in the future."
"Young lady, we deal honestly. The price is fifty thousand spirit stones, a fixed price."
The old man's attitude was resolute. He narrowed his eyes and appraised Feng Tong Tong from head to toe. "If you don't have the money, please leave."
Feng Tong Tong was anxious. She instructed her maid a few words and then looked at the old man. "I'll go back and get the money immediately!"
The maid stayed behind to wait, while Feng Tong Tong rushed back to the Feng family to get the money.
Feng Family.
Madam Zhang was trimming flowers and plants in her room.
*Bang!*
The door to the room was suddenly kicked open, and Feng Tong Tong rushed in frantically. "Mother, do you have fifty thousand spirit stones?"
"Fifty thousand spirit stones?"
Madam Zhang put down her scissors and looked at her with surprise. "Why do you need so many spirit stones?"
She tightly clutched Madam Zhang's sleeve, her words filled with entreaty. "As long as I have fifty thousand spirit stones, my hair can grow back! Mother, please help me!"
Madam Zhang rummaged through her spirit stone bag and then her savings from years past, but she could only produce twenty thousand spirit stones. "Mother only has this much."
Feng Tong Tong eagerly took the bag of spirit stones and added the five thousand spirit stones she had.
She gritted her teeth. "Mother, I'm still short by twenty-five thousand spirit stones. I'll go think of a way..."
Feng Family Treasury.
After sending away the person guarding the treasury, Feng Tong Tong stealthily broke in.
Inside the treasury were many spirit stones and jewels.
With her nerves taut, she took the spirit stones and placed a hairpin into a box...
