After the two of them reported their names, Murong Qianqian curiously asked Xiao Yan a lot of questions. Xiao Yan patiently answered most of them. As for some of the questions that were related to Xiao Yan himself, they were either dodged by Xiao Yan or directly skipped over.
After that, Xiao Yan once again concentrated on refining the medicinal pills in the medicinal cauldron in front of him. As for Murong Qianqian, she was bored to death as she laid on the stone bed. Although she wanted to get up, she could only helplessly and obediently lie back down when she thought of the injuries in her body.
As time passed, the medicinal ingredients in the medicinal cauldron in front of Xiao Yan, which were originally close to a hundred kinds of medicinal ingredients, had all turned into various kinds of powders or viscous liquids in the end. Refining medicinal ingredients was extremely easy for Xiao Yan. The only difference was that it required quite a bit of time.
After a week of continuous refining, Xiao Yan, who was sitting cross-legged on the green stone platform, suddenly opened his originally tightly shut eyes. At the same time, Xiao Yan raised his arm and suddenly waved his big sleeve. With a bang, the medicinal cauldron's lid opened. Following that, rays of light rapidly shot out from the medicinal cauldron. Immediately, under the control of Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength, they fell into the jade bottle that Xiao Yan had prepared in advance.
"Huff …"
After doing all this, Xiao Yan finally let out a long sigh of relief. He slightly moved his body, which had been sitting for a long time, and was about to enter the next step of the refining process.
However, just at this time, Murong Qianqian suddenly spoke to Xiao Yan. Her timid voice contained a bashful feeling.
"That … Xiao Yan, I … I … I …"
Murong Qian Qian stuttered for a while and said "I" three times in a row. But in the end, she still couldn't say anything clearly. Instead, her beautiful face that was as white as jade appeared to be crimson red at this moment.
Seeing the young lady act in this manner, Xiao Yan could not help but frown slightly. He turned his head to look at the latter. Xiao Yan frowned slightly and a suspicious expression appeared on his face. His tone was somewhat impatient as he asked.
"What's wrong? What's the problem? "
During these few days when Xiao Yan was calmly refining the medicinal herbs, the young girl in front of him was not willing to be calm at all. She repeatedly asked Xiao Yan many questions, but Xiao Yan ignored her and continued to refine the medicinal herbs in the medicinal cauldron. However, at this moment, when Xiao Yan saw the young girl like this, he could not help but feel a little curious.
"I … I want to …"
Murong Qianqian raised her pair of watery big eyes and looked at Xiao Yan with a crimson face. The words that were already at the tip of her tongue could not help but stop.
"If there's nothing else, I'll continue refining medicine. Don't disturb me after this, unless you don't want to recover from the injuries in your body."
Seeing this, Xiao Yan's heart unconsciously surged with irritation. He frowned and casually said a few words to Murong Qianqian. Soon after, he once again sat down and prepared to continue refining medicine.
"I want to take a bath!"
"Hmm?!"
However, just as Xiao Yan turned around, the words that came out of the young girl's mouth caused Xiao Yan's turning movement to abruptly stop. His entire person was stunned for a moment.
After a moment, Xiao Yan turned around with a displeased face and looked at Murong Qianqian. Xiao Yan's face was slightly gloomy and his voice also became somewhat heavy.
"Little girl, listen carefully. I don't have the time to mess around with you here. Wait until I finish refining the medicinal pills. At that time, you can go wherever you want and do whatever you want. If you want to take a bath, I won't stop you. However, right now, don't be unreasonable with me and don't think about throwing that big missy temper of yours. Right now, in this place, I have the final say!"
"But …"
"Either you quietly wait for your injuries to recover, or you can leave on your own!"
The young lady had yet to spit out the words from her mouth when Xiao Yan forcefully interrupted her with a single sentence. After which, he was too lazy to bother about her. He turned around with an expressionless face, bent his legs and sat cross-legged in front of the medicinal cauldron, preparing for the next step of the medicinal pill refinement.
After Xiao Yan sat down cross-legged, Murong Qianqian, who had already recovered some of her strength on the stone bed, saw that her pair of watery pretty eyes contained some mist. Her exquisite and cute small face also revealed an aggrieved expression.
Ever since she entered the Xilin mountain range, she had been chased all the way here. During this period, she did not even have the chance to catch her breath. Now that half a month had passed, she only wanted to take a bath. She did not expect that she would actually receive such a harsh treatment from Xiao Yan.
A moment later, Murong Qianqian saw Xiao Yan's indifferent expression as he focused on the medicinal cauldron in front of her. The young girl's throat involuntarily choked a little. Finally, Murong Qianqian clenched her teeth angrily. Immediately, she forcefully propped up her weak lovely body. Her face was pale as she walked out of the cave.
Xiao Yan quietly sat in front of the medicinal cauldron from the beginning until the end. Both of his eyes were tightly shut, and there was no change in his expression.
Xiao Yan's tightly shut eyes only slowly opened after the young girl left the cave and walked into the pitch-black night sky of the outside world. At the same time, the empty space beside Xiao Yan distorted slightly. Gu You's body slowly appeared. He looked at Xiao Yan and gently lifted his eyebrows.
"Ugh … brat, you won't really allow her to leave like this, will you? With this girl's current condition, she will not be able to go far."
Xiao Yan shook his head when he heard this. He turned his head to look at Gu You by the side and spoke with a teasing expression.
"Don't tell me that you are still unclear as to whether I have allowed her to leave or not?"
Gu You chuckled upon seeing this. He did not say anything else. His body twisted, and he sat on the stone bed, ignoring Xiao Yan.
Xiao Yan withdrew his gaze and slowly shut his eyes. At this moment, Xiao Yan's Spiritual Strength probed. Murong Qianqian's delicate body also appeared in Xiao Yan's mind.
Xiao Yan's heart could be considered reassured that Murong Qianqian had left the mountain cave. Due to his habit, any mountain cave that Xiao Yan found would definitely have mountains and water. Hence, there was a pool of water outside of this mountain cave at this moment.
As for the current Murong Qianqian, she was slowly walking towards the pond step by step.
Xiao Yan divided his attention. He left a trace of Spiritual Strength on Murong Qianqian's body. After which, Xiao Yan sat down and poured all of his attention into the medicinal cauldron in front of him. With a thought from Xiao Yan, the essence of various medicinal ingredients that had been refined was thrown into the medicinal cauldron.
The pill refinement continued. Murong Qianqian dragged her seriously injured body and continued to stay outside of the mountain cave until Xiao Yan finished refining the medicinal pill in the medicinal cauldron. Another month's time had passed since this medicinal pill was refined.
