Chapter 4760 — What on Earth Does That Mean
The Blossom Guardian · Page 2 of 2
"Don't worry, you're really not dreaming. This is real—eight Thunder Profound Pills!" Wei Zhao shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry. In truth, he found it incredible himself. Out of his trust in Han Jingyi, he had been confident of success this time, but he had never imagined there would be this many.
After all, even though he had prepared more than enough materials beforehand, that would have been enough for four Thunder Profound Pills at most—because Ren Zhongyuan had boasted as much, he had subconsciously assumed the same. Never in his wildest dreams had he expected double the amount. Thinking about it now, Han Jingyi must have further optimized and improved the cauldron, which was what led to this unexpected overproduction!
And seeing Han Jingyi's ever-calm, ever-smiling face, Wei Zhao felt for a moment as if he were seeing that confident, capable woman Liu Jinghan again... But the next instant, Han Jingyi had reverted to her former adorably blank smile.
No wonder the whole refining process had been so full of strange disturbances, so heart-stoppingly tense—so it was all because she had prepared such a huge surprise for them!
Ning Xuefei and the others were cheering and jumping about nearby. Only then did Huo Yudie accept reality. She could not help saying, "How is your mortal world so incredible? To have such a wondrous alchemy artifact—it's simply heaven-defying! And that fool from before too—his divine weapons were terrifyingly powerful. It really overturns everything I know..."
"Who's the fool?" Han Jingyi cut in to ask.
"The fool is Kang Jingming. That's the nickname she gave him," Wei Zhao explained with a smile.
"Not at all! You're the one who gave him that nickname—you were the one who called him a fool. I didn't even know what 'fool' meant at first," Huo Yudie retorted, pouting, in excellent spirits.
"So now you know what it means?" Wei Zhao gave her a half-smiling glance.
"Huh?" Huo Yudie was taken aback, then asked weakly, "Oh, right—what exactly does 'fool' mean?"
At that, the women all doubled over with laughter. Most of the time, Huo Yudie played the role of the understanding elder sister before them, but when it came to anything from the mortal world, she was completely lost.
"It's not something you can explain in a sentence or two. Anyway, Kang Jingming is a classic fool—just take it that way." Wei Zhao laughed, then took out three Thunder Profound Pills and handed them to Huo Yudie. "There. These three Thunder Profound Pills should be enough to answer to your master. I'm sure she won't say anything more."
"Wonderful! Now I never have to put up with that horrid Ren Zhongyuan's scowls again. Wei Zhao, you're the best!" Overjoyed, Huo Yudie threw her arms around Wei Zhao on the spot—and only when she felt the teasing looks from Ning Xuefei and the others did she blush and awkwardly pull back. She was not an uninhibited girl; this had simply been a moment of sheer excitement.
Wei Zhao shrugged. To be honest, with a figure as stunning as Huo Yudie's, being hugged by her like that really did feel rather nice—he wouldn't mind a few more times. (To be continued)
