Chapter 2408 — Xiaoshu Goes Out
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Heh... all right then..." Han Jingyi's words actually made Wei Zhao a little embarrassed. She really was dedicated, and Wei Zhao admired and adored her for it. This little girl truly was a lucky star sent to him by heaven—so many thorny problems had been solved right here...
"Mm-hm!" Han Jingyi nodded emphatically. "Jingjing is all ready. With Brother Wei Zhao's help this time, Jingjing is very confident of success!"
Wei Zhao felt even more embarrassed. Every time Han Jingyi refined pills, she gave all the credit to Wei Zhao and never claimed any for herself. It made Wei Zhao feel as if he were somehow deceiving an underage girl—though Han Jingyi was clearly an adult, just a little bit cute...
Han Jingyi quickly prepared three portions of Meridian-Clearing Pill ingredients and placed them together into the cauldron, then swiftly flipped through her tablet, apparently searching for the scientific pill-refining formulas she had recorded earlier.
When Han Jingyi turned to a certain page, she stopped, consulted it for a while, and then began condensing pill fire, formally preparing to refine the pills.
At this point, Wei Zhao also began circulating the heart method and incantation of the Heaven-Sent Spring Rain martial technique, preparing to activate it.
Before long, Han Jingyi formally began refining the pills. This time she was clearly far more focused than during the earlier simulated refining—she no longer looked at Wei Zhao, her eyes fixed on the time displayed on her tablet, while the intensity and temperature of the pill fire in her hands shifted as time went on!
Once Han Jingyi had expended a portion of her stamina and true qi, Wei Zhao began activating the third form of Heaven-Sent Spring Rain, channeling true qi into her!
At first, Wei Zhao only needed to activate the third form; later on, he could activate the fourth or fifth form to swiftly restore Han Jingyi's true qi and stamina.
Han Jingyi felt Wei Zhao's true qi flowing into her as well, but her expression only flickered slightly as she continued to focus intently on refining the pills...
Time flew by, and in the blink of an eye it was evening, yet neither of them noticed; both were utterly absorbed in the pill refining...
Gu Mengyao and Shen Yushu finished watching two movies and came downstairs, only to find that Wei Zhao still hadn't returned.
"Wei Zhao still isn't back? Looks like we'll have to sort out dinner ourselves." Gu Mengyao looked at the empty living room.
"Oh, how about Xiaoshu goes out and buys something? Living on instant noodles every day isn't nutritious..." Shen Yushu checked the time on her phone. "There should be plenty of good food around here. We never got around to exploring before. I'll go around from door to door and see if anywhere does delivery."
"Why don't we just go out to eat together? No need to bring it back—it's just the two of us, and it's such a hassle..." Gu Mengyao said.
"It's no trouble... Xiaoshu will go... Just in case Brother Condom comes back tonight and there's nothing to eat, he can still have some of Sister Yaoyao's leftovers and then kind of indirectly kiss Sister Yaoyao." Shen Yushu said.
"Go on, go on, you're the only one who talks so much!" Gu Mengyao frowned, cutting Shen Yushu off and shooing her straight out the door.
Shen Yushu left the villa with a grin, but then said, "Huh? Brother Condom's car is still here. Why isn't he home?"
Hearing that, Gu Mengyao came out and took a look. Sure enough, Wei Zhao's Grand Cherokee was still parked by the gate—only there was no sign of Wei Zhao or Chen Xi.
