The pill medicine on the porcelain plate looked like blue crystals. They looked dazzling under the sunlight. The fragrance of the pill medicine assailed everyone’s nostrils as the wind blew. They felt as if their faces were bathed in a cooling wind—which was very comfortable.
The fragrance of the pill medicine alone was enough to make one feel the moisture and comfort of water. Besides, the pill medicine was transparent, like water droplets. One could tell that they were like gems just by looking at them. The crowd was staring at it with their eyes wide open.
Deng Hu was looking at that pill medicine that shaped like water droplets. As the Medicine King, he could tell by its color, roundness, and fragrance that this pill medicine was a Grade Four Pill Medicine. However, he just couldn’t figure out what kind of pill medicine this was.
Looking at this fragrant pill medicine, a new pill that he had never even heard of before, he was filled with curiosity. He stretched out his head to get a closer look at it. He couldn’t wait to place the pill medicine in front of him and study it thoroughly.
However, his desire was hindered by his status and the ongoing competition. He had no choice but to retract his head and look away. Have some dignity, stop staring!
However, he would feel uncomfortable if he couldn’t take a few more looks at that interesting pill medicine.
Si Mobai was only focusing on Feng Tianlan. When he saw a bead of sweat on her face, he took out a handkerchief and wiped it off gently. He also took out a porcelain bottle from the void and handed it to her.
Feng Tianlan raised her head and glanced at him. She chuckled as she received the porcelain bottle. She finished the delicious fruit juice that was in the bottle in one go. The sweetness seeped right into her heart. This fruit juice had been made by Mobai personally.
“It looks like he might need another hour. Let us sit and wait at the side.” Si Mobai took Feng Tianlan’s hand and sat her down. He asked Shui Jue to shade her with the umbrella.
When Feng Tianlan saw Deng Hu running towards the pill medicine to protect it, she couldn’t help but laugh out loud. “I think he is rather similar to Pang Tai. They are both pill medicine fanatics.”
“Trust me, my judgment is never wrong. Just get ready to receive a loyal servant.” Si Mobai was looking at the pretty Feng Tianlan who was wearing a sweet smile, not even giving Deng Hu a glance.
Si Mobai was worried that she might feel bored. So, he took out some fruits and some sunflower seeds from the void. He started to split open some sunflower seeds and peel grapes with a gentle smile on his face to please her.
The crowd felt as though the sun had risen from the west. Was this really the Demon King whose name could make one’s turn cold with fear?
He didn’t seem like a Demon King, more like a henpecked husband!
Uh…
The terrifying Demon King had turned into a henpecked husband. But did that make him look less terrifying?
Weng Yue was focused on refining his pill medicine. However, he was distracted by the fragrance that assailed his nostrils and by the fact that Feng Tianlan had already finished refining her pill medicine. He managed to regain his focus in a blink of an eye. Since her pill medicine was refined in such a short time, it must not have been that impressive.
With such a thought in his mind, Weng Yue focused on refining his pill medicine. After an hour, his pill medicine was finally finished.
“He finally finished refining his pill medicine. It seemed like it was not an easy task.”
“The Demon Princess Consort had finished refining her pill medicine a long time ago. She even rested for an hour. She made it seem like a much easier task than he did.”
“Stop getting distracted. Let’s look at who the winner of this competition is first. I think the Demon Princess Consort will win.”
“Weng Yue is a Grand Alchemist. I think he will win. The Demon Princess Consort’s pill medicine probably just looks and smells better.”
“…”
The crowd started making their own guesses on who the winner would be.
Weng Yue was initially filled with confidence and was looking forward to ridiculing Feng Tianlan. However, after he raised his head and saw the crystal-like pill medicine again under the sunlight, his face turned pale immediately. “This…”
