She was so doomed!
Feng Wu’s heart was thumping so hard that she thought it was going to jump out of her mouth!
Knock, knock —
Knock, knock —
They kept tapping on the door outside and Feng Xun said insistently, “What’s going on in there? Open up! Are you refining something now?”
Old Man Ba stroked his white goatee and said, “I don’t think so. She wasn’t refining anything when I left. What’s going on? Is she alright in there?”
Feng Xun said grumpily, “Old Man Ba, since the girl won’t open up, leave her be. We don’t really want to meet her either. We’ll be on our way.”
Yes!
Feng Wu was so excited to hear that, that the hand holding the porcelain bottle shook!
Yes! Be on your way! Now… Feng Wu was almost in tears.
However, Old Man Ba didn’t hear Feng Wu’s silent prayer. Throwing a dirty look at Feng Xun, he said, “I’m not introducing her to you. It’s the crown prince I want to show her to.”
Feng Wu felt like crying… introduce her to Jun Linyuan? Old Man Ba might as well kill her himself!
Jun Linyuan frowned, then gave a nonchalant response. “Not interested.”
Feng Wu nodded her head repeatedly on the other side of the door. Yes! That was so true! She had never found Jun Linyuan as pleasant as he was now!
However, Old Man Ba chuckled. “Of course you’re not interested. I haven’t introduced her to you yet. Wait until you see her. I’ll tell you all about her and I promise, you’ll be interested.”
Feng Wu was speechless.
Just then, a puff of white smoke spewed out of the cauldron!
It shot right up to the roof!
Damn it! Feng Wu cried out in surprise!
Her mind had wandered off just then and she wasn’t paying enough attention to the medicine. The timing was a little off, thus causing the smoke to rise.
Taking a deep breath, Feng Wu forced herself to calm down. She closed her eyes. When she opened them again, the look on her face was as sober as before, as if she had just taken a cold shower.
Raising her hand, she dribbled the Immortal Spiritual Fruit juice into the cauldron.
Outside, they were still talking.
Jun Linyuan was going to leave when Old Man Ba said, “You know what? She’s the one you’re looking for.”
WHAT?!
Feng Wu’s hand jerked and she almost dropped the entire bottle into the cauldron!
Her heart was threatening to burst out of her chest!
She never imagined she could ever be this nervous in her life!
Luckily, she reacted quickly enough and caught the porcelain bottle just before it hit the liquid inside the cauldron!
Phew … cold sweat rolled down her forehead.
If she had really dropped the bottle in, it would have reacted chemically with the medicine inside… everything that she had achieved so far would have been ruined!
That Old Man Ba nearly gave her a heart attack…
Although, she was wondering exactly what Old Man Ba meant by that, for she didn’t think that he knew about Feng Wu and “Feng Xiaowu”…
As expected, Jun Linyuan frowned and turned to look at Old Man Ba. “What do you mean?”
Old Man Ba looked back at him in bewilderment. “Your Royal Highness came all the way here to Northern Border City for my medical advice, no? Or were you lying to me?”
