Chapter 36: Settling Personal Grudges

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

Upon hearing this, everyone couldn’t help but find it incredulous. Without a pill furnace, did she really think she could create the medicinal liquid in such a short period of time?

It was just a final struggle.

Ye Shuang’s gaze was indifferent as she sat opposite her and watched her movements. Her elegant face was filled with contempt.

Ye Shu repeated what she did just now. Her divine sense waved the Sky Water and Medicinal Powder to interweave. Boom! Purple flames rose from her fingertips. Flames lit up the sky and enveloped the Sky Water. In an instant, the medicinal ingredients slowly bloomed from the flames in the sky!

Accompanied by waves of clear cries, it was as if three dragons were entrenched and continuously fusing, emitting a dazzling brilliance!

The brilliant light shone so brightly that everyone could not open their eyes!

The others could not see what was happening, but Ye Shuang could see it clearly from the stage. Her face turned pale, and she suddenly stood up. She was so shocked that her breathing began to tremble. “How is this possible!”

How did she do it? It wasn’t impossible for the Heavenly Water and Elixir Fire to fuse together, but it required an extremely powerful divine sense. Moreover, she was in a situation where she didn’t have the help of a pill furnace… How could it be possible for this piece of trash?

The specks of light dispersed and were annihilated. A drop of pure medicinal liquid floated on the stage. It was exuding an imposing aura as it broke through the waves. Even the air was trembling!

The air was filled with thick Spirit Qi, but it was extremely quiet. Everyone stared at the Heavenly Water spinning above, speechless.

Sensing this pure medicinal liquid, no one dared to breathe too loudly.

The shopkeeper’s eyes suddenly trembled as he stared fixedly at the medicinal liquid in the sky. His trembling lips were hoarse as he spoke with difficulty.

“This is… 80% pure medicinal liquid.”

As his voice fell, it was like a drop of water falling into a pot of oil, exploding loudly!

An 80% purity medicinal liquid! That was a talent comparable to a demon! Not to mention a second-grade alchemist, even a third-grade alchemist would find it difficult to refine such a pure medicinal liquid. Now, it was actually refined by a piece of trash!

No, not trash… This was an alchemy genius!

Amazing!

The young man who had mocked and ridiculed Ye Shu earlier was so shocked that he immediately stood up. He had actually been fooled by that old man! He turned his head to look at the old man, but the seat beside him was empty.

The old man had left at some point.

Everyone looked at Ye Shu with respect and wanted to befriend her. They complimented her with smiles, “Miss Ye is really young and promising. You managed to refine 80% purity medicinal liquid so easily! How can others compare to you?”

“That’s right, Miss Ye. At that time, I felt that you were a dragon among men. Indeed, you’re much stronger than Miss Ye Shuang!”

Ye Shu was in no mood to pay attention to them. She lowered her head and kept the medicinal liquid back into the jade bottle. She heaved a sigh of relief. Just now, she had exerted all her strength to deliberately make a mistake. She suppressed the pill fire’s refining effect in order to restrain her sharpness. She did not expect that there would actually be such a stir.

It seemed like this medicinal liquid was indeed extraordinary.

Hearing their discussion, Ye Shuang’s face suddenly darkened.

This bunch of snobbish people were still complimenting her just now. When they saw that Ye Shu, that trash, was stronger than her, they started to fall on both sides!

She was so jealous that she could go crazy. She stared at Ye Shu’s jade bottle and fiercely twisted her handkerchief, wishing she could hack her into a thousand pieces! What right did this trash have to refine such a good medicinal liquid? What right did she have!

Surprise flashed across Yuan Chen’s eyes. He stood up slowly. His purple-gold python robe looked especially luxurious. He walked towards Ye Shu, and everyone subconsciously made way for him.

Ye Shu looked up and glanced at him. She had a faint smile on her face as she watched him walk over. Her smile was as harmonious as the wind.

“Shu-er.” Yuan Chen’s smile was full of admiration and approval. “Congratulations. I knew that with your ability, you would definitely win this Medicine Concocting Convention.”

Ye Shu remained unmoved and raised her eyebrows. “Your Highness doesn’t intend to comfort your lover?”

He smiled helplessly. His eyes were as gentle as spring water and he looked at her dotingly. “What are you saying, Shu-er? I’ve never had a lover. From the beginning to the end, I only had you.”

“Brother Chen!”

Ye Shuang shouted anxiously. Her eyes widened as she stared at Yuan Chen, her eyes red. “Have you forgotten our agreement?”

Yuan Chen’s expression turned cold as he said coldly, “Please respect yourself, Miss Ye Shuang. I have nothing to do with you.”

It was as if she had suffered a heavy blow. Her face suddenly turned pale and she staggered two steps back. Her gaze towards Ye Shu became increasingly vicious!

Everyone’s gloating eyes tore at her self-esteem. She was furious. It was all because of this b*tch. It was all because of this b*tch who took everything from her!

“I don’t care what kind of show you put up. Ye Shuang, it’s time for you to fulfill your promise,” Ye Shu said calmly.

She was dressed in red and looked exceptionally domineering. The sternness in her eyes carried the aura of a superior, making everyone subconsciously want to submit to her. Ye Shuang subconsciously felt timid, but she quickly reacted and stared at her while laughing maniacally.

“You? With your ability at the 3rd level of the Qi Refinement Stage? Even if I don’t leave, what can you do to me?!”

Manager Li’s face turned slightly cold. He walked over and his spirit energy surged. Ye Shu gently blocked him and said in a lazy voice, “No need to trouble Manager Li. It’s a personal grudge. I can settle it myself.”

He was stunned. He had heard the rumors too. Ye Shu, the daughter of the Ye family, was only at the third-stage Qi Refinement realm. She was worlds apart from Ye Shuang.. How could she deal with her?
