âHmm, this alchemy book doesnât seem to be complete, there are some pages missing. Thereâs no information regarding anything beyond the fourteenth gradeâ¦.â
Pleased by what she has nevertheless, Bai Yan packed away the book into her storage bag and continued to search for other treasury items. Sadly, after a careful scrutiny of everything that was here, she found nothing else worthy of note and felt disappointed. Then again, it did make sense after some thought. This alchemy book was so precious to begin with that finding something else of this caliber would be a real miracle.
With nothing else to do for now, she decides to get a closer look at the statue. âWhy do I keep getting the feeling that this statue is not quite rightâ¦â She rubs her chin questioningly.
Even though the model didnât have eyes sculpted onto it, she could make out where the chin of this person was aiming at. Thereâs a fox at the bottom of the stage, and itâs equally as proud in appearance and unwilling to show any weakness.
This strangeness took Bai Yan by surprise, Does the master of this valley have a vendetta against foxes or something? I wonder if the person would die of anger if they learn a foxâs wife took their alchemy book away, their expression would be quite funny to see.
Drawing a smirk, Bai Yan said nothing and moved to cut off the legs of the fox model. Then summoning up her alchemy flame, she melted the hard plaster and then added a plant she pulled from the storage bag to the mix, thus creating a sticky substance for easy molding.
Though this woman herself didnât know why, but when she saw how the fox sculpture was being stuck in that groveling position, she would be overwhelmed with discomfort. Sure, Bai Yan knows this was a strange feeling to have, after all, none of this was happening for real so itâs strange to get such urge to do something.
Minutes laterâ¦.
Clapping her hand, Bai Yan gets up from the ground after having her fun.
âAlthough itâs not right of me to take your book and then help this fox stand up, butâ¦. Iâm a naturally defensive person. Since my husband and son is a fox then I will make this one stand as well!â Turning around to stare back up at the human sculpture, her eyes are stern and hard: âI do not know what the Demon Realm did to you in the past but donât go throwing your grudge around to others, they are not involved. If you want to stick the issue to someone then find the culprit.â
Naturally Bai Yan knew her words wouldnât be heard by an inanimate object but she couldnât help it. For some reason she had this inkling notion that her heart would continue to be depressed otherwise if she didnât say it aloud.
Afterwards, she did not hesitate and slowly headed for the exit. However, upon the second her feet took a step outside, the back immediately came out with a loud explosive bang and the statues here all crumbled to dust, allowing the particulates to scatter across the floor!
âWhatâs going on here?â She mutters this with great surprise, unsure how to take this as some sort of bad omen or just her mind overthinking this.
