âUh! Lass, will it kill you to let me be happy!â Lan Ming complained.
âIâll be happy if youâre not happy!â Leng Ruoxue said with a light smile.
âAlas! You ungrateful damn girl, why donât you just anger me to death?â Lan Ming said gloomily.
âThat wonât do. You still owe me money!â Leng Ruoxue said with a smile.
ââ¦â Lan Ming really wanted to vomit blood!?What does she mean by I still owe her money? Thatâs obviously a remuneration, okay? How did it become money I owe her? Boohoo⦠Women and villains are really the hardest to raise!
âOld Lan, donât be lazy! Hurry up and destroy these bandits. I have serious business!â Leng Ruoxue urged.
âDamn girl, Iâm so tired. Which eye of yours saw me slacking off?â Lan Ming roared.
Not far away, Jin Hui, who was fighting dozens of bandits, looked at his master with incomparable pity.?Alas! Poor master! You have never won a quarrel against that little demon. Why havenât you learned your lesson!
âXueâer, are we really not going to help?â Leng Qingtian asked softly. He was a little embarrassed seeing President Lan fighting a hundred people alone.
âGrandpa, donât worry! Old Lan can handle it. We have to have confidence in him.â Leng Ruoxue gave her grandfather a reassuring look and comforted him.
âThatâs right. Donât we have a ready-made goon? Why would we need to do anything?â Old Zao said matter-of-factly. Poor Lan Ming had already been treated as a goon.
âHaha, Grandpa, calm down.â Leng Ruoxue smiled gently. Old Zaoâs words really matched her thoughts.
âAlas! Alright then!â Leng Qingtian looked at Lan Ming sympathetically.?Alas! President Lan, itâs not that I donât want to help! Youâre really too strong. As the saying goes, the capable work harder! So, sorry to trouble you.
The mouth of the bandit leader, who was standing not far away, kept twitching as he thought,?Who are these people??He was starting to doubt his judgment.?Did I find the wrong person?
About half an hour later, when the last ray of mystic power disappeared in front of everyone, all the bandits were eliminatedâ¦
âLass, what should we do with this leader?â Lan Ming looked at the bandit leader.
âHe canât be killed! Heâs my future subordinate,â Leng Ruoxue said with a light smile.
âUh!â Lan Ming was stunned. Did something happen that he didnât know? His mind was on the battle just now, so he didnât notice the situation here.
âHe wants to compete in alchemy with me. He will become my subordinate if he loses,â Leng Ruoxue explained.
âAh! Lass, are you also an alchemist? Why didnât you tell me?â Lan Ming was surprised. This girlâs potential as a mystic was already so shocking. If she was also an alchemist, then⦠He simply couldnât imagine her futureâ¦
âDo I have to tell everyone I meet that Iâm an alchemist? Moreover, you didnât ask me!â Leng Ruoxue said innocently.
âUh! I was wrong. I shouldnât have argued with you about this,â Lan Ming said a little gloomily, but he couldnât help grumbling in his head,?Do I have to ask everyone I see if theyâre an alchemist?
âYou are a good boy for recognizing your mistake and correcting it,â Leng Ruoxue praised.
âThank you,â Lan Ming said with a bitter face. He glared at Jin Hui, who was hiding at the side and laughing secretly.?Boohoo⦠even my beast is laughing at me.
âCan we start the competition now?â the bandit leader asked.
âLetâs begin!â Leng Ruoxue nodded and took out a small pill furnace from the bracelet.
âWow! Lass, your pill furnace is really tooâ¦â Old Zao didnât know how to describe this pill furnace. As an artificer, he knew very well how high the quality of the pill furnace Leng Ruoxue took out was. Moreover, he guessed that it shouldnât be her best pill furnace.
The bandit leaderâs eyes lit up. He looked at the palm-sized pill furnace and almost drooled. This pill furnace was definitely a dream for alchemists.?Boohooâ¦?He looked at the slightly crude pill furnace in his hand and felt a little inferiorâ¦
âIf I win, you have to give me this pill furnace,â the bandit leader said shamelessly after calming down.
âNo problem. Iâll give it to you even if you lose. Iâve always been generous to my subordinates,â Leng Ruoxue said readily.
âHey, leader! Youâre not using a pill furnace, are you?â Old Zao stared at the pill furnace in the bandit leaderâs hand for a long time before he realized that it wasnât a pill furnace at all. It was obviously an ore that had yet to melt completely! He had lived for so long, and this was the first time he had seen an alchemist use a raw ore for alchemy!
âThereâs nothing I can do. I can only use this!â the bandit leader said gloomily. Alas! He had to think of a way to replace this crude pill furnace!
âUse this!â Leng Ruoxue couldnât bear to watch any longer and handed the pill furnace to the bandit leader. This fellow couldnât escape from her palm anyway.
âThank you. I am Zheng En,â the bandit leader said gratefully. He hurriedly took the pill furnace Leng Ruoxue handed to him and hugged it tightly in his arms as if he had obtained a treasure, afraid that it would be snatched away.
After giving the pill furnace to Zheng En, Leng Ruoxue took out another pill furnace from the bracelet and placed it in front of herself.
âLetâs begin!â Leng Ruoxue said lightly.
âUh! Why do you have so many pill furnaces?â Zheng En asked dumbfoundedly. He couldnât even get a decent pill furnace, but this woman actually took out two at once.?Boohooâ¦?Comparisons were odious! They were both alchemists, but why was the difference so big?
âMy master left them for me. Are we going to compete or not?â Leng Ruoxue urged.
âCompete. Letâs begin!â Zheng En hurriedly said. As the saying went, a gift blinds the eyes. He couldnât be cool anymore after taking Leng Ruoxueâs pill furnace.
âLight the fire first!â Leng Ruoxue said modestly. Men first!
âYou light it first!â Zheng En also gave in modestly.
âBrat, hurry up! What are you being so long-winded for?â Old Zao urged, not being able to take it anymore.
