162: Little Lotus in Action

Tiandan Palace.

In the empress's courtyard, the door to one of the rooms was tightly shut.

xiao Xiao Lianer was in the room, holding a jade bottle in her hand, and she whispered:

"Immortal Fire, can this thing really knock out old bro?"

After spending a month working with Immortal Fire, she finally managed to concoct the sleeping drug.

However, Qin Lianer was still a little worried.

Immortal Fire hovered in front of her, trembling slightly, communicating with Qin Lianer through consciousness:

"Definitely no problem!"

Qin Lianer had actually tried this sleeping drug; she only used a tiny bit of dust, and she almost fainted, feeling groggy for most of the day.

She licked her rosy lips, suddenly thinking of a serious problem:

"That..."

After old bro is knocked out, can he...

still perform?"

Hearing Qin Lianer's question, Immortal Fire also paused slightly; it seemed she had overlooked this issue.

Hesitating for a moment, Immortal Fire said:

"How about adding a little more ingredient..."

"What ingredient?"

"Go get some Lustflower, Amorous Grass, Illusion Fruit..."

These spirit herbs made xiao Xiao Lianer stunned, and then she immediately understood what ingredients Immortal Fire wanted to add.

...

The next day.

xiao Xiao Lianer found Qin Jiang and hugged his arm with a cheerful smile:

"old bro, accompany me out for a stroll?"

"Not studying Alchemy anymore?"

Qin Jiang asked in surprise.

Qin Lianer was always lively, but for the past month, she had almost completely shut herself in her room, only occasionally going out, saying she needed to buy medicinal herbs.

He was even worried that this little girl might get some illness from being cooped up.

Qin Lianer shook her head:

"It's about balancing work and rest.

old bro, just accompany me for a stroll."

"Okay."

Qin Jiang nodded, a smile appearing on his face. In fact, he still hoped that Qin Lianer could live happily; as for cultivation, it was fine to be a bit casual.

No need to be too tired.

"Should we call your sister-in-law?"

Qin Jiang said.

However, Qin Lianer pouted her little mouth, shook her head, and said with a hint of complaint:

"No way.

If we call sister-in-law, you'll have to accompany them, just the two of us together.

You haven't spent time with me alone in a long time~"

Shaking Qin Jiang's arm, Qin Lianer's pretty face was full of grievance.

How could he resist that?

Qin Jiang quickly agreed, rubbing Qin Lianer's little head:

"Okay, okay, I'll accompany you alone."

Hearing this, xiao Xiao Lianer's face finally showed a smile.

...

Walking out of Tiandan Palace, xiao Xiao Lianer pulled Qin Jiang along, chattering excitedly all the way.

Qin Jiang also secretly sighed, it was indeed a long time since he had accompanied xiao Xiao Lianer.

"Brother, I also bought a small courtyard here, do you want to go see it?"

Qin Lianer said with a cheerful smile.

Hearing this, Qin Jiang was a little surprised:

"Bought a small courtyard?"

"Yes."

Qin Lianer nodded:

"It's a very beautiful small courtyard. This past month, whenever I encountered a Bottleneck in Alchemy, I would come here and stay for a while."

"Then let's go take a look."

Although surprised, Qin Jiang still nodded.

Led by xiao Xiao Lianer, they wound their way around and finally saw a secluded small courtyard.

Qin Jiang's brows furrowed slightly.

This place, how did it look a bit off.

He glanced at Qin Lianer, vaguely feeling that she was holding his arm a little tighter, seeming nervous, and in her beautiful eyes, there seemed to be some excitement.

"What the hell is going on?"

He muttered inwardly, his expression showing nothing unusual on the surface.

"old bro, it's here!"

Qin Lianer said happily.

She pulled Qin Jiang and directly pushed open the door and entered the small courtyard, and it was at this moment...

Bang!

There was a loud bang, followed by a cloud of dust that covered both of them.
