Looking at the unremarkable pill in front of her, Qiao Xueying said in disbelief, "What could be more precious than a Heavenly-grade Yuan Stone?"
"Eat it," Zu'an said, bringing it to her lips.
"What is this?" Qiao Xueying subconsciously shifted back, looking at him warily. "It's not an aphrodisiac, is it?"
Zuan: "..."
Is that how you see me?
"Yes, do you want to eat?" Zuan decided to give up entirely.
Qiao Xueying's face flushed slightly. The fragrant aroma of the pills filled her nostrils, and she felt a deep longing in her soul, which made her swallow hard. "I doubt you have the guts to do that."
After saying that, she opened her mouth and swallowed the pill.
Zu An shuddered as her tongue accidentally brushed against his finger; this woman was indeed incredibly soft all over.
Qiao Xueying's heart skipped a beat, and her face immediately became somewhat unnatural. She quickly changed the subject, asking, "What exactly is this pill for?"
“It can raise a person’s aptitude by one level,” Zuan replied.
"How could there possibly be such a miraculous pill in the world?" Qiao Xueying frowned, clearly disbelieving.
"You'll soon find out whether it's true or not," Zu'an said, too lazy to argue.
Just as Qiao Xueying was about to say something, she suddenly felt a surge of heat spreading out from her body, then dispersing to her limbs and bones, as if every pore was cheering.
Her expression changed, and she quickly composed herself, beginning to guide the refining of the medicinal power.
After an unknown amount of time, she slowly opened her eyes. Her eyes were brighter than before. She could smell the air was sweeter, and she could clearly see the trembling wings of a dragonfly in the distance. She could even see the rhythm of the grass swaying, just like the reaction of Zuan after taking the drug.
"This...this really can improve one's aptitude!" Qiao Xueying exclaimed in surprise, her face full of disbelief.
Zuan rolled his eyes: "I just told you, but you wouldn't believe me. Do you think I'm the kind of man who talks nonsense?"
Qiao Xueying thought to herself, "You always love to talk big. Who knows which of your words are true and which are false?"
However, she was still in shock and surprise, and couldn't help but bite her lip: "I'm sorry!"
Zuan was taken aback: "Why are you apologizing?"
Qiao Xueying's expression was complicated: "I've never heard of a pill that can improve aptitude like this. It's definitely one of the most precious pills in the world. Once people find out about it, it will be something that all forces will fight over. If I hadn't kept pressuring you to give me a gift, you wouldn't have wasted such a precious pill."
“How can you call it a waste?” Zuan laughed. “Besides, nothing is more precious than your ‘half-life bond.’ We’re now family, bound by life and death. Saying such things would be too formal.”
"One of us..." Upon hearing this, Qiao Xueying's heart skipped a beat. She suddenly lowered her head, her expression unreadable. A thousand words welled up within her, but ultimately, they coalesced into just two: "Thank you~"
"More than that, you should be concerned about whether you need to take a shower. You don't smell very good right now," Zuan said jokingly, fanning the air around his nose.
Qiao Xueying was taken aback, only then noticing a faint layer of dirt on her skin, as if it had just been forced out of her body. It must have been the Marrow Cleansing Pill that cleansed the impurities in her body.
The girl, being a clean person, glared at him, both embarrassed and angry: "Why didn't you say so sooner!"
That guy is such a jerk! I was so touched just now, and he ruined the mood so quickly.
Anger level from Qiao Xueying +250!
Zuan suppressed a laugh: "There's a small river over there, let's go wash up and change our clothes."
He had just noticed that the male students were washing their eyes in that direction, so he remembered the location.
"Should I borrow a piece of clothing from Xiaoxi?"
"Need not!"
Qiao Xueying struggled to sit up and took out a change of clothes from the ring on her hand.
Zuan was taken aback, not expecting that this woman also had a storage ring. He couldn't help but mutter, "You didn't give me any clothes when you saw how disheveled I was just now."
"Hmph, I have all women's clothing here, do you want to wear it?" Qiao Xueying slowly stood up. The elves have strong vitality. Ji Xiaoxi had given her the healing medicine of Doctor Ji, and with the effects of the Marrow Cleansing Pill, she has now regained a lot of mobility.
"No!" The thought of being called a cross-dressing master at school made Zu An shudder, and he hurriedly shook his head. "By the way, you're so badly injured right now, do you want me to help you wash up?"
"Get lost!" Qiao Xueying replied to him crisply, then walked alone towards the river.
Zuan subconsciously checked the keyboard backend and was immediately annoyed – where was his anger level?
Just then, Qiao Xueying, who had walked some distance away, suddenly stopped and waved to him.
Zuan raised an eyebrow: "What, you've come to your senses and want me to help you wash? Don't worry, my scrubbing skills are absolutely top-notch."
Qiao Xueying rolled her eyes and ignored his words: "Come over here and keep watch for me, so that no one else can see us when they come back."
"What if I see it?" Zuan was taken aback.
"Then I'll gouge out your eyes!" Qiao Xueying snorted and turned to leave, a faint blush appearing on her neck beneath her collar.
