Tang Baozhu would never admit that her heart was pounding because she was infatuated with Xu Rui; Xu Rui was just too handsome, making it hard for her not to be infatuated.
Xu Rui realized that his face was attractive to Baozhu, so he made good use of his advantage. Although his feelings were genuine, it would be better if Baozhu fell in love with him sooner.
Seeing Baozhu acting all lovestruck this time, I actually think she's quite cute. It's true that as long as it's someone you like, no matter what they do, you'll think they're wonderful and there's nothing wrong with them.
Tang Baozhu finally came to her senses and quickly looked away, no longer allowing herself to look at that face that was so easily deceiving her.
Xu Rui didn't care that she turned her head away from him. He thought about what other good things he had in his space that he didn't need. Finally, after rummaging around, he took out another box.
"Precious Pearl, this is a strange fire I collected. It's quite effective for alchemy. The success rate of the pills I refine is so high because of the strange fire. This strange fire was separated from my strange fire. It's very docile. You can just recognize it as your master."
Tang Baozhu thought that since she had finally come to the cultivation world, she should indeed learn some of the four arts of cultivation. Besides, she had already taken so many good things from him, so she wouldn't mind taking a little more. So she accepted the box.
"Then thank you, Brother Xu. I was just thinking of learning alchemy, and it should be easier if I have a group with me."
"Don't be shy, what's mine is yours. If you need anything else, feel free to take it. When you start learning alchemy, I'll teach you. My alchemy skills are quite good. For now, put this strange fire into your body and let it recognize you as its master. I'll watch over you from the side."
Tang Baozhu glanced at the time outside; it was indeed quite early. Without any hesitation, she opened the box and used her spiritual power to control the strange fire inside. "Then thank you, Brother Xu."
He began to slowly control the strange fire and absorb it into his body.
Xu Rui watched as Baozhu slowly refined the strange fire, and then he began to frown. The way Baozhu called him "Brother Xu" earlier made him a little unhappy. He felt that Baozhu was still too distant from him and should just call him Xu Rui or "Brother Rui." It seemed that he would have to slowly get her to change how she addressed him.
He quickly banished the random thoughts from his mind and focused on Baozhu, so that he could see immediately if anything went wrong while she was refining the strange fire.
When Tang Baozhu was refining the strange fire, she only had one feeling: heat. She felt like her whole body was burning up, and sweat was pouring out of her body.
Fortunately, this strange fire was quite docile; if it were a wild, newly found strange fire, it would probably have been reduced to ashes.
It's just hot now, but I can still bear it. It took about three hours to finally put this strange fire into my dantian.
After refining it, I quickly opened my eyes. I could smell that familiar stench so badly that I quickly formed a hand seal and cast a cleansing spell on myself. The stench that was so strong it could kill me finally disappeared.
The foul smell from earlier must have been from when the body was being refined by the strange fire, which burned away the impurities left over from the previous marrow cleansing.
After cleaning himself up, he came to his senses. It seemed that Brother Xu had been watching over him the whole time. He suddenly felt a sense of dread. Had Brother Xu seen him looking so dirty?
She quickly composed herself, trying not to let him see her inner frustration.
As long as you're not embarrassed, it's others who will feel awkward.
Fortunately, Xu Rui had enough emotional intelligence. He simply pretended not to see it and changed the subject at the right time, "Since you've already refined it, I'll go to the kitchen and cook a few dishes. After all, today is our special day, we should definitely celebrate."
"Okay, I'll come help as soon as I've tidied up."
Tang Baozhu breathed a sigh of relief when she saw him change the subject. She had originally wanted to go back to her space to take a shower, but the space had not been upgraded yet. She did not expect it to take so long this time.
That makes sense, since she was always in the system space before, she couldn't feel the passage of time at all, so she didn't know exactly how much time had passed in the system space.
Since I can't go inside the space to take a proper shower, I'll just cast a few cleaning spells on myself and change my clothes.
While changing clothes, I thought that today was a special day for the two of us, so I decided to change into something more festive.
She rummaged through the ring Xu Rui had given her. There were so many robes inside; she just needed to pick one with a slightly festive color.
Although the original owner had clothes in her storage ring, she didn't want to wear clothes that others had worn. At first, she had no choice but to wear them, but later she specifically chose clothes that had never been worn before.
Finally, I chose a red robe, which fit my body perfectly after I put it on; it was simply the most suitable garment.
Moreover, Xu Rui has an exceptionally good eye; the designs are particularly beautiful, truly capturing her heart.
After changing her clothes, she came out of the house and went to the kitchen to prepare a meal for Xu Rui.
"Brother Xu, what do you need my help with? I'll help you with that."
Xu Rui turned his head and saw Baozhu wearing a bright red dress. She looked especially beautiful. He was overjoyed that Baozhu had specially changed into a red dress this time.
He quickly stopped her from helping; he was happy just to have her standing there.
"I don't need you. Just watch from the side. I've changed into clean clothes. Don't get them dirty. They're so pretty. It would be a shame to get them dirty. I'll be fine in no time."
Tang Baozhu knew she hadn't made a mistake in changing into this outfit; Brother Xu would definitely like it. Didn't you see him grinning from ear to ear, radiating joy?
Xu Rui was quite fast; he made one soup and nine dishes. In his words, he hoped that their future would be perfect and that they would grow old together.
After finishing cooking, he quickly went into the room next door and came out a couple of minutes later, having changed into a bright red outfit. The outfit made him look even more handsome.
Both of them were dressed in bright red, and the courtyard and rooms were all in bright red, instantly creating a festive atmosphere.
Tang Baozhu felt that it was fine for the two of them to have a low-key wedding ceremony here, without the need for others to participate, as long as the two of them were happy.
