"I apologize for keeping the city lord waiting." As Yi Haoyue approached, Wei Qinghe's brows furrowed imperceptibly.
A pungent aroma made Wei Qinghe feel somewhat uncomfortable.
Yi Haoyue warmly took Wei Qinghe's hand.
"My dear sister, what are you saying? Although we've only known each other for a short time, we have a deep connection."
Yi Haoyue pulled Wei Qinghe forward.
Wei Qinghe took the opportunity to release a wisp of her divine consciousness.
"The city lord is the city lord."
Yi Haoyue's body has become completely youthful, which is not the effect of her beauty pills.
What has Yi Haoyue done lately that has made her suddenly so young?
Wei Qinghe felt increasingly uneasy. Since Yi Haoyue had become so young, why was she still being asked to refine pills?
Could it be that the real intention behind the drink is not what it seems?
"It's been a while since I've seen the city lord. He looks so young. I'll take his pulse first."
Yi Haoyue suddenly withdrew her hand, and even the smile on her face froze.
But only for a moment, and she immediately smiled again.
"My sister is in good health. She just needs your help to refine the beauty pill. After taking your beauty pill, look at how much I look now. The change is really huge."
Yi Haoyue clearly did not want Wei Qinghe to take her pulse.
She has a secret that she cannot let Wei Qinghe know.
Wei Qinghe quickly withdrew her divine sense, but her kind words could not persuade the damned ghost.
"Excellent! Congratulations, City Lord. May I ask what kind of elixir you summoned me to refine this time?"
Wei Qinghe pretended to believe Yi Haoyue's words and even seriously wanted to discuss the matter of alchemy with Yi Haoyue.
Seeing that Wei Qinghe believed her, Yi Haoyue breathed a sigh of relief.
Her smile remained unchanged. "I increased the dosage of the beauty pill and felt the effect was very good, so I wanted to ask Sister Qinghe to refine some more beauty pills."
Wei Qinghe raised her eyebrows slightly. Looking at Yi Haoyue, she didn't think he had overdosed on the beauty pill.
She knew perfectly well what the effects of the pills she refined herself would be.
Even if the dosage is changed, she can still analyze the general idea.
Instead of reacting in a completely different way than Yi Haoyue does now.
This doesn't seem like the effect of a beauty pill; rather, it's like some special method was used to forcibly rejuvenate the person. However, there must be some side effects.
Wei Qinghe pretended to know nothing, "I wonder if the city lord has prepared the medicinal herbs?"
She wanted to see what Yi Haoyue was up to.
Yi Haoyue chuckled softly and said, "Qinghe, don't worry. The ingredients for the Beauty Pill are not yet fully prepared. However, I tidied up the storeroom a while ago, and you can get me some other pills."
Wei Qinghe pursed her lips. Here they come, just as expected.
"Now that I'm here, and the city lord has prepared the medicinal herbs, I'll start by refining the other pills for the city lord."
Seeing Wei Qinghe readily agree, Yi Haoyue's heart, which had been hanging in suspense, finally settled down.
"I wonder what kind of elixir the city lord wants me to refine?"
Yi Haoyue's hand clenched slightly within her sleeve. "Sister Qinghe, you may not know this, but although Su's Never-Night City still has sufficient supplies, it has suffered repeated heavy blows..."
After saying that, she awkwardly raised her hand to cover her lips.
"I didn't mean to blame Qinghe, please don't misunderstand, Qinghe."
Wei Qinghe waved her hand generously, as if she didn't mind.
"Lord, don't overthink it. I'm not the kind of person who's petty. You're also a party involved. The reason why the City Never Sleeps suffered repeated blows is actually due to the City Lord's Mansion itself."
What did I do wrong? If offering timely assistance is a mistake, then I have nothing more to say.
The fault wasn't hers.
It can only be said that Yi Haoyue mismanaged the situation and acted unfairly.
Yi Haoyue's smile was almost impossible to maintain, but she seemed to have changed quite a bit this time, and even had a kind of resilience and fortitude.
"It's all my fault. I spoke without thinking and caused Qinghe to misunderstand. How could what happened before be Qinghe's fault?"
As she spoke, she got up again and pulled Wei Qinghe towards the alchemy room.
"It's all my fault. If it weren't for Sister Qinghe's timely intervention and ability to turn the tide, I'm afraid we would have made an irreparable mistake by now."
As if worried that Wei Qinghe might take her pulse at any time, she deliberately kept her distance and was on guard.
Little did she know, Wei Qinghe had been watching her every move.
Wei Qinghe's silence does not mean she knows nothing.
The two left one after the other, heading towards the alchemy room that had been prepared for Wei Qinghe.
Wei Qinghe's cool gaze swept quickly across the courtyard.
It's definitely different now.
Seeing that Wei Qinghe had no suspicions, Yi Haoyue smiled knowingly.
It was the same alchemy workshop, and indeed, many precious medicinal herbs and spiritual plants were displayed inside.
"Qinghe, do you think these medicinal herbs are alright?"
Yi Haoyue quickly showed Wei Qinghe the medicinal herbs and spiritual plants she had prepared.
In the eyes of alchemists, medicinal herbs and spiritual plants are treasures.
Wei Qinghe did not disappoint Yi Haoyue, her face showing obvious surprise and delight.
"These are all precious treasures. No wonder he is the lord of the City That Never Sleeps."
"It would be great if Qinghe could use it; all my hard work preparing for this long time would have been worthwhile."
After saying this, Yi Haoyue took advantage of Wei Qinghe's stepping forward to examine the medicinal herbs and suddenly retreated to the doorway, whereupon a formation suddenly appeared.
Wei Qinghe turned around abruptly, a hint of panic in her eyes.
