Zishu's lecture caused an earthquake of magnitude 8 in Yaowang Valley. Some of those who attended the lecture had an epiphany and became immortal; some were stubborn and prepared to continue their self-destructive ways; and some were sharpening their knives to launch an attack on Zishu at tomorrow's lecture.
But neither Ye Xiruo nor Zishu knew any of this, and even if they did, they wouldn't care. These hothouse flowers need to endure the ravages of the storm.
After the lecture, Zishu soared into the sky, his white robes fluttering gracefully, undoubtedly winning the hearts of countless girls. Regardless, Zishu is undeniably an adorable little dumpling, even if her fighting prowess is somewhat extraordinary.
Zishu went straight back to his residence, ready to eat and sleep. Unexpectedly, he saw someone who shouldn't have been there at the door.
Why are you here?
Zishu opened the door and went straight in.
"I've come to thank you." Yingxun followed closely behind and went inside.
"Thank me for what?" Zishu poured himself a cup of spiritual tea, sipping it slowly and leisurely, his expression serene.
"Thank you for being safe and sound, and thank you for your lesson."
“These are all things I should do, I don’t think I need your thanks!” Zishu raised an eyebrow.
Yingxun suddenly moved a few inches closer to Zishu, and a few strands of black hair drifted down from his arrow, tracing a beautiful arc in front of Zishu.
Yingxun's refined face was less than ten centimeters away from Zishu, a distance from which Zishu could clearly see Yingxun's long, thick eyelashes and her eyes as clear as ink pools.
"Don't move."
Zishu's face was somewhat stiff.
"There's a leaf in your hair." Yingxun reached out and removed the small leaf from Zishu's hair. She stood up casually, then put the leaf away in front of Zishu, raising her eyebrows smugly.
"Thank you very much."
"How will you thank me?" The cool voice held a hint of allure, making it difficult for Zishu to resist: "How do you want me to thank you?"
"Of course, it's in return for her body," Yingxun didn't say aloud.
"I haven't decided yet. I'll tell you when I've thought it through."
Zishu's "I'm happy as long as I'm happy" expression made Yingxun feel a little overwhelmed.
As the two were sitting and drinking tea, a huge explosion suddenly came from next door.
"Oh no, junior sister!" The two of them rushed out of the room almost simultaneously.
Next door to Zishu's room was Ye Xiruo's room. Now, that exquisite little mansion had been turned into a slum with missing corners and still emitting smoke.
The palace gates were blasted open by Zishu, and thick smoke billowed out, flames shot everywhere, and all the exquisite little decorations were now reduced to ruins.
"Junior Sister".
"I'm here, cough cough... cough cough..." How unlucky I am! Even refining pills can cause the furnace to explode. Ye Xiruo wanted to cry but had no tears.
"Are you alright!" Zishu rushed over in a blur of motion. Ye Xiruo lay on the ground looking miserable, her injuries unknown.
"How are you?" Zishu scooped up Ye Xiruo, whose face was covered in ashes and was unrecognizable.
"Waaaaah, my Pure Heart Pill exploded."
"What Pure Heart Pill? That's a third-grade pill." Wasn't this girl a master alchemist before?
"Yesterday I successfully refined three batches of top-grade Qi-Nourishing Powder, and then I wanted to strike while the iron was hot and refine the Pure Heart Pill, but it exploded."
"What kind of broken alchemy cauldron are you using? Where's the green essence?"
"Greenery is cooking porridge!" Ye Xiruo said, a little embarrassed.
Zishu and Yingxun were stunned. They pulled Ye Xiruo up from the ground, checked her over, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that there was nothing wrong.
"Junior sister, why don't you come sit at my place for a while? This place will need some more time to be repaired."
Ye Xiruo's face was covered in black soot, and her clothes were almost like beggar's clothes, but she was still holding Luyi in her arms, unable to forget her.
"It will be ready in half an hour, so I'll trouble you two senior brothers to keep an eye on it for me." Ye Xiruo hurriedly put down Luyi and went to tidy up her appearance.
"It seems that Junior Sister Ye has surpassed her teacher." She is dedicated to exploring the various functions of the alchemy cauldron.
"I will teach my junior sister properly." That's putting the cart before the horse.
When Ye Xiruo returned, she stared in disbelief at her greenery lying on the table, where some incriminating evidence that had not yet been destroyed was also on the table.
"Aww, my winter melon and shrimp porridge!" I rushed over to take a look, and lo and behold, not a single grain of rice was left.
"I've already drunk the porridge for you. It tasted pretty good, but there wasn't enough."
Ye Xiruo covered her face: "Senior brothers, how could you do this?"
“I can consider sharing your oven-exploding incident with my master; he would be very happy.”
This is a blatant threat: "Senior Brother, you're really joking. Consider this porridge a gift from me to Senior Brother, don't be so formal." o(≧口≦)o Senior Brother is so insidious.
"To celebrate Zishu's perfect lecture today and Sister Ye's glorious achievement of frying the oven, I'll treat you to a delicious meal."
"I'm sorry, senior brother, I actually missed your lecture."
"It's alright, I can tell you whenever you want to hear it." Zong Shu smiled shyly, showing no trace of the domineering and sharp-tongued demeanor he displayed this morning.
"Thank you very much, Senior Brother."
"Tomorrow morning I will demonstrate alchemy in front of everyone, and after visiting the market in the afternoon, we will head back the day after tomorrow."
"So anxious?"
"If Junior Sister Ye wishes to stay in Medicine King Valley for an extended period, Medicine King Valley would naturally be very welcoming."
"Thank you for your kind offer, Senior Brother Yingxun. I'll go back to my seclusion and strive to form my core as soon as possible!"
As the three chatted and laughed, they arrived at a simply styled restaurant.
"Qianxiangju."
"Distinguished guests, please come upstairs."
Yingxun led Zishu and Yexiruo directly to a window seat on the third floor: "Bring up all your signature dishes, and three bottles of Thousand Fragrance Wine."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
This place is no different from any ordinary market, with all kinds of shops and restaurants lining the streets, bustling with noise.
"The Qianxiang Brew here is the most famous. It has a complex and lingering aroma, making it a rare and excellent brew. However, the ingredients are very precious and the brewing process is very complicated, so the supply is very limited and it is often hard to buy even if you are rich in gold."
"Then we're in for a treat today."
The Thousand Fragrance Brew was a beautiful light green, crystal clear, and exuded a captivating aroma. Ye Xiruo took a sip, and a scene of spring warmth, flowers blooming in profusion, appeared in her mind. The fragrance seemed to have the scent of white flowers, but with something else added. After the ultimate dazzling effect, there was a lingering and profound feeling.
"What a wonderful drink." After drinking it, there was only one word: awesome.
