Little Suzi, you hid it quite deeply!

Kitchen.

“Hmm! It tastes pretty good!”

Su Bai chewed on the Medicinal Pill, nodding in satisfaction.

Moreover, because it was refined using a pressure cooker, the medicinal power was much weaker than normal, so he absorbed it very smoothly.

There was no pain from the medicinal power impacting his Meridians.

Instead, upon entering his abdomen, it transformed into a warm current, transforming his entire body.

It was warm and very comfortable!

“Ding-a-ling-ling~”

“Ding-a-ling-ling~”

“Ding-a-ling-ling~”

Just then, Su Bai’s phone suddenly rang.

He picked it up and saw—

It was a video call from Xia Qingyan!

Without the slightest hesitation, Su Bai immediately answered.

After connecting, he found that Xia Qingyan had already returned home. She was sitting on the edge of her bed, smiling brightly.

At a glance, the decor in her room was very cute.

Su Bai noticed that even the walls in Xia Qingyan’s boudoir were painted a soft, light pink, like the color of cherry blossoms in spring, creating a cozy atmosphere throughout the room.

And on the wall behind the headboard of the bed she was sitting on, hung a huge anime girl bikini portrait.

Su Bai felt it looked familiar... Was it a character from a game he played a long time ago?

It seemed to be called... Alicia?

The bed Xia Qingyan was sitting on was a white, European-style Simmons mattress, covered with a bedsheet printed with cute animal patterns. Several adorable kittens and bunnies playing on the bedsheet made anyone who saw it feel happy.

On either side of the bed, there was a small, exquisite bedside table.

On the left bedside table sat an exquisite smart crystal lamp. The crystal pendants refracted colorful light under the lamp, like stars falling into the room, clearly indicating its high cost.

Shifting his gaze to the right, Su Bai noticed that next to the lamp was a small, colorful photo frame, and inside the frame... was a double photo of Xia Qingyan and Su Bai, taken at some unknown time!!!

“Qingyan, your...”

Su Bai opened his mouth, wanting to ask.

However, before he could ask, he was interrupted by Xia Qingyan!

“Su Bai... what are you chewing?”

Xia Qingyan’s eyes were filled with confusion and incomprehension.

“Ah? Eating a Medicinal Pill!”

As he spoke, Su Bai moved his phone to show the pressure cooker.

“⊙_⊙”

“⊙o⊙ What is that?! So disgusting?! Ugh!”

After a dry heave, Xia Qingyan hung up the phone at lightning speed.

Su Bai: “...(||| ๐_๐)? You...”

Hearing Xia Qingyan’s words, Su Bai’s face immediately darkened!

He felt incredibly depressed.

His confidence was instantly shattered.

The Medicinal Pill he had painstakingly refined,

Xia Qingyan actually called it... disgusting?!

(눈‸눈)!

So, he immediately called Xia Qingyan back for a video chat.

After a few rings, Xia Qingyan answered.

At this moment, her face still carried the lingering disgust from earlier. She frowned her pretty eyebrows, looking at Su Bai on the other side of the screen.

Seeing Xia Qingyan, Su Bai quickly began to explain:

“Qingyan~, you misunderstood!”

“What I ate just now wasn’t anything strange, but a Medicinal Pill I refined myself... a Fourth-Tier Medicinal Pill, the Gold-Silver Hundred Herbs Pill!”

However, Xia Qingyan raised an eyebrow, her face full of disbelief.

“That thing, which looks like poop, is a Medicinal Pill? You’re lying to ghosts.”

“And... you refined a Fourth-Tier Medicinal Pill? Using a pressure cooker?”

“Whose Medicinal Pills look like that?”

As she spoke, Xia Qingyan glanced at the pressure cooker again.

Instantly, she felt another urge to vomit.

Of course, she knew that gray, mushy thing wasn’t sh... but... you say it’s a Fourth-Tier Medicinal Pill???

And, it was refined by you, someone who hasn’t reached Fourth-Tier?

Brother!

Although This Miss is not an Alchemist, I still know some basic Alchemy knowledge~

Only Awakened Ones who have reached the Fourth-Tier Transcendence Realm can achieve Spiritual Power Projection, control Spiritual Power, and thus refine Medicinal Pills!

—《Basic Rules for Alchemists》

You jerk!

It’s bad enough that you’re only Third-Tier!

And you refined it with a pressure cooker?

Heh heh!

You’re lying to ghosts!

This Miss would rather believe—

That thing is sh—!

On the other side, Su Bai was still earnestly explaining:

“Qingyan, don’t disbelieve me, it really is a Medicinal Pill. This Medicinal Pill is very powerful; after taking it, you can become immune to most low-tier poison skills!”

“Don’t look at its bad appearance, but its effects are really good!”

“Let me tell you, I refined quite a lot this time. I plan to send some to you when I have time so you can try it too. This is a good thing, you know!”

“Heh, I’m telling you, for most people, I wouldn’t even be willing to give it to them!”

Xia Qingyan’s eyes widened immediately upon hearing this.

“What?! You still want me to eat it? Look at what’s in your pot. Just looking at it makes me feel disgusted, and you want me to eat it?”

As she spoke, she glanced towards the pressure cooker again.

She still felt that the “Medicinal Pills” in the pot... and poop... could only be described as identical!

Hearing this, Su Bai immediately became anxious:

“Oh no! Qingyan, you can’t judge a Medicinal Pill by its appearance. Although this Medicinal Pill doesn’t look good, its medicinal power is real!”

Xia Qingyan shook her head like a rattle-drum.

“No! Don’t send it to me, I don’t want to eat that kind of thing. I can’t even finish the Medicinal Pills I have at home! Please let me off! Yue~~”

As she spoke, she once again made a gesture as if she was about to vomit.

Without waiting for Su Bai to speak, she quickly hung up the phone.

Looking at the disconnected call, Su Bai sighed helplessly:

“Sigh! This girl, why won’t she listen to my explanation? This Medicinal Pill is really a good thing! This is a Fourth-Tier Medicinal Pill! For most people, I wouldn’t even be willing to give it to them! Although its appearance is indeed a bit ugly...”

He mumbled, looking at the Medicinal Pills in the pot.

His expression was a bit helpless.

When he first finished refining it, he felt a great sense of accomplishment... but... he was actually despised by the girl he loved most... ᵕ ᷄ ≀ ̠ ᵕ ᷅

Never mind!

Anyway, he’s almost at Fourth-Tier, so he’ll refine more later!

...Jiang City.

Xinghai Community.

Detached villa.

After hanging up the phone, a slight smile appeared at the corner of Xia Qingyan’s mouth.

Actually, she didn’t completely disbelieve Su Bai.

Given their current relationship, Su Bai had no reason to deceive her.

“Little Su Zi, you’re quite secretive. You can even do Alchemy!”

“Hmph! At least you have a conscience!”

Suddenly,

“Bang bang bang!”

“Bang bang bang!”

“Bang bang bang!”

“Yan Yan, are you ready? We’re leaving soon!”

It turned out to be Mother Xia knocking on the door!

“Almost ready! Mom~, just wait a little longer~”

Although her tone was coquettish.

A hint of loneliness flashed in her eyes.

The College Entrance Examination was over, and she had also Awakened her SSS-Rank Talent.

She was about to return to Modu with her mother!

It’s hard to leave... Su Bai... silly boy... we’ll meet again!

See you in Modu!
