Double Cultivation
recognizance
Inside the Cauldron Room, Zhu Mengyi sat behind the cauldron with a stiff expression. Although he tried to remain unconcerned and as calm as possible, his hands trembled slightly as he held the materials in front of him.
He could not help but worry that Su Yang might have already noticed the abnormal enchanting smell that surrounded his body.
However, it had been a few minutes since they entered the cauldron Room, and Su Yang had yet to say a word to her, let alone mention about the Pill of seduction.
As time passed, Zhu Mengyi began to calm down and no longer felt nervous.
"Hey…"
But alas, as soon as Su Yang opened his mouth to speak, Zhu Mengyi's body immediately stiffened.
"Y-Yes ?!" he shouted unintentionally, almost like he had just seen a ghost, his anxious voice was very clear.
"Your movements are so slow and stiff, now when compared to yesterday it feels like you've never concocted a pill before, Are you taking this seriously? Or are you being careless because of arrogance?" he said with a frown.
"T-No... there was nothing like that ..." Zhu Mengyi quickly said, and she continued, "Just I have something on my mind …"
"There's something on your mind, yeah. Do you want to share it?"
Zhu Mengyi instantly fell silent upon hearing his question. How should he answer that question? telling her that she wanted her child, even consuming seduction pills just to make her pay more attention to him, and now she is worried about it?
"What if he asks that because he already knows and he's just testing me?" he thinks to himself.
If he really already knew about the wheezing consuming the seduction Pill, then he would probably tell everything and tell her the truth. However, if it happened that the real Su Yang was unconscious, then he would just dig his own grave by telling him.
Zhu Mengyi was completely at a loss now. He can't decide what he wants to do.
However, in the midst of his contemplation, Su Yang suddenly said, "Forget it. I doubt that's anything important, anyway."
And almost as if he was triggered by his words, Zhu Mengyi quickly replied in a loud and clear voice, "This is very important!"
"Huh?" Su Yang raised an eyebrow, looking as if he was shocked.
After a moment of silence, Zhu Mengyi suddenly asked in a low voice, "Hey, Su Yang, do you have anyone you like?"
"Of course," he answered quickly without hesitation.
"!!!" Zhu Mengyi's eyes widened in shock. She did not expect him to answer honestly and quickly.
"T-Of course, you will .." he said with a bitter smile a moment later.
Su Yang looked at her with a calm expression, and he asked, "Why are you asking? Is there someone out there who's got your attention?"
Although he did not want to say anything, Zhu Mengyi nodded in response.
"And you're worried about this? Why?" said Su Yang.
After a moment of silence, Zhu Mengyi said, "Because he already has someone he likes …"
"That's not true! And what do you mean trivial? What would you do if you were in my position,?" Zhu Mengyi immediately denied.
"What am I gonna do?" Su Yang smiled and continued, "I will chase after that person until he is mine, even if there is already someone else in his heart."
Zhu Mengyi frowned at the half-and-a-half and unrealistic response, "That's easier said than done! And I doubt you'd actually do something as shameless as that!"
"Oh, you will be surprised then," Su Yang said with a smile.
If Zhu Mengyi had the slightest clue about Su Yang's real background in the Four Divine Heavens and the things he had done there, it would be, he would not say such words so confidently.
"By the way, you wouldn't know what it would be like if you didn't ask him, would you? Unless she becomes a woman, I don't think she will reject a beauty like you" Su Yang added.
"Beauty …?" Zhu Mengyi blushed after finding out that she was beautiful in her eyes, something as beautiful as her should not be surprised, she said, especially when basically everyone with normal eyes would praise him for his superior appearance every time they saw him.
"A-Are you sure?" she asked him with her hopes raised slightly because of his last words.
Su Yang did not say anything and just smiled.
"…"
Zhu Mengyi sighed inwardly. Indeed, he wouldn't know the result unless he asked her, and nothing would happen if he didn't know – that's for sure. If it was like that, then he had no choice but to ask him, as he only had a few more days in the Academy's four seasons.
Zhu Mengyi took a deep breath and prepared to express her feelings to Su Yang.
But when he opened his mouth, Su Yang pointed to the cauldron and said, "Before that, why didn't you look at your pills first? Are you sure you want to leave it like that?"
"Eh?" Zhu Mengyi turned to look at the cauldron that was emitting black smoke, and her eyes widened.
"ah! I forgot about that!" said panicked.
He was so engrossed in conversing that he forgot about the pill that was being cooked in the cauldron, causing the pill to burn out of negligence.
Some time later, after he immediately fixed the mess with the cauldron, Zhu Mengyi returned to look at Su Yang. Although the atmosphere had been light due to his mistake, his heart was racing as usual.
"Su Yang .. I know this might surprise you, but over the past few days I've liked you even more!"
Zhu Mengyi said in a voice that was almost shouting with her eyes closed, almost as if she did not want to see his face after saying such embarrassing words.
However, if he could see Su Yang's calm expression, he would definitely feel even more awkward.
What's more, she hasn't finished talking and continues, "D-D-Dan .. And I .. And I want to have your baby!"
After muttering such words, Zhu Mengyi felt so embarrassed that she wanted to dig a hole and drown her face now.
"You want my son?" Su Yang raised an eyebrow, as he did not expect the last part.
"What is it about people who want babies in this place? First the sword girl and now her? Could this be the characteristics of women on this continent?" he wonders to himself.
