An Ran raised an eyebrow. What was wrong with this child today? What happened to make Xiao Ai so upset?
An Ran grabbed Xiao Ai who was about to run away and asked her, "What's wrong? Why are you so anxious? You're not going to pester me today?"
Xiao Ai looked back at An Ran who was holding her hand, then used her little hand to push An Ran's hand away, and said, "Xiao Huo should be waking up soon. I want me to be the first person Xiao Huo sees when he wakes up!" Then she ran away quickly.
When An Ran heard Xiao Ai say that Xiao Huo was about to wake up, she was overjoyed. She ignored Dan Shu and followed Xiao Ai to the bamboo house.
In the bamboo house, Xiaohuo was still sleeping. Xiaoai was lying on the head of the bed, with her eyes wide open, staring at Xiaohuo intently.
Anran sat on the bed, curiously watching Xiaohuo's changes along with Xiaoai. She had never seen this before.
After a while, the little fire's gray hair began to gradually become lighter. Slowly, the gray hair on the top of the head began to turn white first, and then spread to the whole body, from grayish white to milky white, and finally turned into pure white, shiny white.
Xiao Ai beside her was already clapping her hands happily. An Ran, who was standing by, was also stunned by the change. She said to herself, "I thought the hair would fall out first and then grow back. I didn't expect it to be so magical."
An Ran had already realized that Xiaohuo's transformation was complete, and she was waiting with great anticipation for Xiaohuo to open his eyes and communicate with her. An Ran even imagined Xiaohuo calling her "sister".
At this time, Xiaohuo's fur began to change again. The white fur seemed to be lightly dyed red, pink and white, fluffy, just as cute as a pink baby.
Before An Ran had time to be happy that Xiaohuo's fur had turned into her favorite color, she saw Xiaohuo slowly and leisurely turning red from head to toe, from light red, pink to bright red, a dazzling red.
Xiao Huo slowly opened her eyes. As soon as she opened her eyes, she saw Xiao Ai dancing in front of her and saying, "Xiao Huo, you finally woke up. You can play with me from now on!"
Xiao Huo opened his big watery eyes, glanced at Xiao Ai, and said nothing. Then he turned around and saw An Ran. He excitedly threw himself into An Ran's arms, raised his little head, looked at An Ran, and called out in a soft and sweet voice, "Sister!"
An Ran saw Xiao Huo flying into her arms. He was about the size of two palms, with a small head and a chubby body twisting around. He looked especially like an angry bird, or an angry bird that was acting coquettishly. She burst out laughing instantly, holding Xiao Huo in both hands, smiling from ear to ear.
Angry Birds? What kind of monster is that? Xiao Huo's watery eyes were full of confusion. In a soft voice, he asked An Ran curiously, "Sister, what are Angry Birds?"
An Ran looked at Xiao Huo in surprise. After sizing her up for a long time, she asked her, "Do you know what I'm thinking?"
Xiao Huo nodded and said, "I am my sister's natal pet. As long as my sister doesn't close herself off to me, I can know what she is thinking."
An Ran looked at Xiao Ai in astonishment and asked, "Do you know what I'm thinking?"
Xiao Ai pouted, then glanced at An Ran and said, "No, Xiao Huo is my natal pet. She's the only one who can understand my thoughts, unless I don't want her to know. I'm not one of them, so there's no way I can be one with my thoughts, unless I agree."
An Ran nodded in relief. "That's what I was saying. Otherwise, wouldn't I have no privacy at all these years?" Although Xiao Ai was one of us, there were still some things that were inappropriate for Xiao Ai to know.
Xiao Huo blinked his big eyes, looked at Xiao Ai, then looked at An Ran, and then asked An Ran in a crisp voice: "Sister, what is it that is not appropriate for Xiao Ai to know?"
When Xiao Ai heard Xiao Huo say this, her already slightly depressed mood became even more depressed. She pouted and looked at An Ran with her big watery eyes accusingly: "Sister, is there anything you can't let me know?"
An Ran smiled awkwardly, then put down the fire, scratched her head, and hugged Xiao Ai and said, "Everyone has privacy. Even though you are one of my best friends, I still have some little secrets in my heart that I can't let you know."
After coaxing her for a long time, Xiao Ai's face finally turned from gloomy to cloudy. An Ran thought to herself that she was really a child, and she also wanted to compete with him.
When Xiao Huo heard An Ran talking about privacy, he quickly asked curiously: "Sister, what is privacy? Why does Xiao Ai want to know this even though she is a child?"
Without waiting for An Ran to answer, Xiao Huo suddenly had an idea and said happily: "I'll go and see my sister's privacy and I'll know. Xiao Huo is really smart~"
When Xiao Ai heard Xiao Huo say this, the originally cloudy sky began to turn cloudy, and there was even a faint rhythm like a light rain.
An Ran was almost going crazy. She grabbed Xiao Huo's chubby body and yelled, "Don't look!" Then she blocked Xiao Huo's right to enter her inner world.
Seeing that Xiao Ai still looked unhappy, An Ran quickly agreed that Xiao Ai could take the initiative to communicate with her soul.
Only then did Xiao Ai burst into laughter. She ignored Xiao Huo's resentful look and glared at her fiercely, telling her not to talk nonsense.
After An Ran finally dealt with the two little guys, she asked Xiao Ai to take Xiao Huo around in the space and take good care of him.
An Ran then went to read a book. After flipping through it, she was speechless. Is Xiao Ai really reliable?!
It's no wonder An Ran doubted Xiao Ai's reliability. She'd flipped through the entire book so many times, practically tearing it apart, and yet she'd only found one sentence: "Those with Wood and Fire Elemental talents can become Alchemists." And that sentence was right there in the middle of the page. Without a careful look, this tattered book would have been mistaken for a blank page.
Anran looked up at the sky in silence, she recalled the process of boiling herbs in her previous life, and thought that refining elixirs should be similar to refining pills, both of which involve boiling herbs in a furnace, so the first thing to do in refining elixirs is to have fire.
An Ran controlled the fire element in her body, trying to slowly force it out of her body, and then tried to condense it into a bright flame.
For the first time, the fire element was not produced.
The second time, the fire element was not born.
The third time, again, failed...
…
Forty-fifth time, the fire element still did not come out.
An Ran did not give up, because she knew that in these forty-five failures, the time it took for the fire element to condense and leave the body was longer each time than the previous one. She believed that if she practiced for a long time, she would be able to induce the birth of the fire element.
I don’t know how long it took, but Xiao Ai and Xiao Huo came jumping into the alchemy room.
