Chapter 246 Little Pa, I don't want to put anyone down either...
However, Rukia also possessed the characteristics of the undead. Her skin was pale and devoid of any color, and every move she made carried a chilling aura of death. Her once deep blue hair, characteristic of sirens, had now turned into a mix of blue and white, and her legs could no longer transform into beautiful, shimmering fish tails after touching the seawater.
Even though she was surrounded by an aura of death, her eyes and smile made people feel relaxed. When Yu Xunge entered the tavern, she was chatting with the tavern owner. The owner said something funny, and Rukia burst into laughter.
Lucia was completely different from what Yu Xunge had imagined. She was not disheartened, not depressed, and not wary of the people around her. In fact, her temperament was not as kind and gentle as Yu Xunge had imagined.
This is a spirit whose smile is full of power and vitality.
Rukia was surrounded by many people, and the aliens surrounded her and chatted with her. Whatever Rukia talked about, that was the core of their conversation.
Yu Xunge didn't disturb her. Instead, she found a corner against the wall to sit down, ordered an ice cream for Tu Lan, and let her hide between herself and the wall to eat it quietly while she waited patiently.
She listened for a while and found that there was no useful information. Most of the stories were about the children and students. Yu Xunge was not interested, but she did not want to waste time, so she took out the second notebook that Hedgehog had given her and started reading.
This notebook was much thinner than the first one, but the content was also more difficult. Yu Xunge's ideas about the ultra-low-end version of "Melting Time" became clearer and clearer, so she simply took out her notebook and began to write down these guesses.
Ever since she saw that even a genius like Hufflepuff had an alchemy notebook, she had developed the habit of writing down all her thoughts and insights in a notebook, even if they were just some seemingly whimsical ideas.
As Yu Xunge was writing, she suddenly sensed that Tu Lan had returned to the pet space. The next second, an extremely pleasant voice sounded beside her, a simple greeting that sounded like a moving song—"Are you a student of Hedgehog?"
Yu Xunge paused, then immediately stood up and respectfully said, "Lady Rukia."
Rukia stared at the bull's head in front of her for a few seconds, then shook her head and said, "This is not your true appearance."
Hufflepuff wouldn't teach a tauren. If she dared to, the tauren who was still infatuated with her would chase her all the way to Undercity to ask if she had finally discovered the beauty of tauren.
Yu Xunge did not deny it, nor did she even admit that she was Hechpa's student. This identity was too special. Apart from the master and disciple, only Little Machi knew about it at the moment, and she did not intend to let more people know.
She said, "Ms. Hedgehog asked me to bring you something."
He then took out the three notebooks and handed them over with both hands.
Rukia took the notebooks, flipped through a few pages, and then sat down opposite Yu Xunge with the three notebooks in hand. With a slight lift of her finger, a small jellyfish the size of a flower appeared out of thin air, and then quickly transformed into a huge phantom, enveloping their entire table.
“Sit down. They can’t see us or hear what we’re saying.” After saying that, three bottles of juice appeared on the table. Lucia said, “These are from Aran City, not from Polar Night City. Drink up.”
Yu Xunge didn't understand the sentence at first, but she understood that Lucia didn't want her to leave for the time being, and even understood that Lucia had discovered that she had brought a pet before. However, she didn't let Tulan out, nor did she touch the few glasses of juice. She just said respectfully, "I was just helping Lady Hedgehog complete the mission. Now that I have confirmed that you have received the notes, I will leave."
Rukia looked at the notebook spread out in front of Yu Xunge: "You want to study a low-level version of [Melting Time]?"
Yu Xunge's eyes lit up. She hadn't missed the signal Rukia had given her. How could she miss an opportunity where an epic alchemy master was willing to give her pointers?!
She hesitated for only a few seconds before finally giving in to her thirst for knowledge. She quickly sat back down and, trying to remain calm, said, "Yes, may I have the honor of receiving your guidance?"
Rukia was amused by Yu Xunge's quick change of expression; Hufflepuff had done the same thing back then.
When Lucia first spoke to Hufflepuff, Hufflepuff was wary. Despite the strong herbal scent on him, he acted as if he wasn't interested in alchemy and was extremely cold towards Lucia, the alchemy master. He would avoid her whenever he saw her outside of class.
One day, while Lucia was sunbathing on the swing in the backyard, she smelled the herbal scent on Hufflepuff, and also the mistake she had made. So she closed her eyes and muttered to herself, "Why does a basic healing potion start to taste bitter halfway through brewing?"
After a while, a childish voice came from the bushes behind them: "Excuse me, why is that?"
Rukia suppressed a laugh: "The way the Earthroot was processed is wrong. Poor quality will affect the potion. You can spray some Peacebloom juice on it and let it sit for 5 minutes before using it."
After a long while, a voice came from the bushes again: "Thank you."
Rukia looked at the... handsome minotaur in front of her. Just a moment ago, he had been wary and prickly, but after Rukia signaled that she was willing to teach him, he struggled for a few seconds before choosing to go against his cautious instincts and willing to take the risk in order to learn more.
There's no need to keep asking what her relationship with Hufflepuff is. It's not worth asking. She's Hufflepuff's student. Only a student like her would make Hufflepuff willing to take the time to teach her. Of course, Lucia is also willing to spend some time on her.
She generously gave Yu Xunge pointers, and even after answering Yu Xunge's questions, she gave her a one-hour lesson on the herbs needed for [Melting Time], which Yu Xunge listened to with great interest.
If Hufflepuff's teaching level is like a college student doing part-time work to earn living expenses, then Rukia is a top-notch instructor—of course, anyone could teach her, an alchemy novice.
Yu Xunge, who originally intended to ask a few questions and then leave, couldn't bear to leave her chair until Rukia stopped, at which point she snapped out of it.
I was careless...
Yu Xunge was initially so wary that she wouldn't even drink juice, but after listening to Rukia's lesson, she began to admire Rukia. Every time Rukia was amused by her silly questions, she would even feel a sense of accomplishment.
In the end, Yu Xunge couldn't wait to present every potion he had concocted to Rukia for her feedback.
No matter how simple or basic the questions she asked, Rukia would patiently explain them to her, and would even extend the discussion to related potions, telling her how to think and getting straight to the heart of the problem.
Little Pa, I don't mean to put her down... but just this one lesson is worth ten lessons Hufflepuff gave her.
