Chapter 568: Chapter 475: So it can be like this? (4/10)
Boom!
Terrifying waves surged tumultuously, although these airwaves didn’t have much lethal power, the impact was substantial, almost managing to uproot the Apricot Flower Residence.
The despicable cat continuously let out alarmed cries, clutching onto Yang Zhen’s hair tightly to avoid being blown away. Yang Zhen and Little Fatty were rendered completely dumbfounded.
This shouldn’t be possible. This was Plum Blossom Sky, within the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain. Moreover, everyone here was a distinguished guest of the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain, who would dare to cause trouble?
“Damn, what just happened?”
Yang Zhen looked over to the source of the sound with a confused expression and his jaw dropped. The Apricot Flower Residence was gone, completely blown away, even the triple-layered house next door had vanished.
Seeing the extent of the airwave eruption, the explosion must have come from the sturdy house next to Yang Zhen.
The sound of the explosion was truly terrifying. Many people escaped from their homes, wearing strange expressions as they looked towards the source.
A soft cough was heard as a young woman emerged from the ash and debris of the explosion. Her frame was slender and her features… well, they couldn’t be seen clearly, she was a bit of a mess.
The young lady’s hair was ruffled, her face worn out, covered in soot. As she searched for something, she muttered in dismay, “How could this happen, why, why did I fail again, I shouldn’t have failed…”
Gulp!
The sound of swallowing came from behind Yang Zhen. Little Fatty wished him good luck and said, “Brother Yang, you have to be careful these days. It’s probably better to keep your clothes on even when sleeping.”
“Why?”
Why wouldn’t they let him take off his clothes while sleeping?
“If you do not want to get blown away in the middle of the night, especially when you’re not wearing any clothes, you can try it out.”
Holy hell!
Yang Zhen was taken aback. He stared at Little Fatty’s face, finally confirming that he wasn’t joking, before turning around again with a bewildered look towards the blown-up wooden house.
By this time, nearly everyone in the Plum Blossom Sky had come out. They stood there in groups, chattering amongst themselves. Apparently, they were used to such happenings. Some even started debating about the angle and magnitude of the explosion compared to previous times.
Yang Zhen looked bewildered as he heard the woman at the explosion site muttering, “Why did it suddenly blow up? The proportions of the Spirit-awakening Grass and Multi-Mellow Fruit are accurate. If the ratio falls below ten to one, it will conflict with the Horse Scorpion Root and fail to integrate. My integration was successful, so why couldn’t the elixir be formed…”
The woman was muttering to herself about issues related to alchemy. Everyone subconsciously pulled out paper and pencils, jotting down her words. Not even Little Fatty was an exception; after listening eagerly and then quickly scribbling it down.
After which, Little Fatty excitedly told Yang Zhen, “This is great! If we live here a little longer, I might even become an alchemist. The Heavenly Snow Holy Domain is incredible. By hosting us here, we not only get good food and drink and fabulous scenery, we also get to learn potion making from Miss GuanGuan. Hey Brother Yang, aren’t you taking notes? This is a once in a lifetime opportunity. You can’t get this level of alchemical knowledge anywhere else.”
Seeing that Yang Zhen remained unmoved, Little Fatty spoke again with a puzzled look, “Didn’t they say that Brother Yang also possesses some proficiency in the art of potion making? How come you can’t tell that these are precious alchemical methods?”
The woman appeared ragged and seemed to be oblivious to the people around her. She squatted on the ground, investigating the remnants. She even occasionally picked up some pieces to sniff, looking notably wretched.
Yang Zhen, intrigued, walked towards the girl. Seeing this, Little Fatty quickly grabbed him back and said, “Brother Yang, don’t do it!”
“Why?” Yang Zhen asked with a puzzled expression.
With a click of his tongue, Little Fatty explained, “Miss GuanGuan dislikes being disturbed while she makes her potions, or else she wouldn’t live in such a remote location. If you approach her at this moment, even if you don’t say anything, you might still annoy her. Many people have learnt this the hard way in the past. Can’t you see, everyone is just staying back?”
Yang Zhen laughed and shrugged off Little Fatty’s hand, proceeding toward Miss GuanGuan with a furrowed brow.
Little Fatty looked at Yang Zhen, speechless and utterly surprised, muttering to himself, “It’s over, Brother Yang is about to get a taste of it. Although Brother Yang looks very good, even slightly better looking than me, I heard Miss GuanGuan doesn’t like men… She only cares about alchemy!”
Seeing Yang Zhen actually approaching GuanGuan, a crowd formed, comprised of people who were eager to see what was going to happen next. They stopped whatever they were doing and focused their attention on Yang Zhen.
Yang Kaixin is certainly bold for approaching Miss GuanGuan at a time like this. Who was the last guy who tried to greet Miss GuanGuan casually and got given the cold shoulder again?”
“I can’t remember, but for Yang Kaixin to approach Miss GuanGuan after she failed to make a potion, that’s just suicidal. I heard from disciples in the Heavenly Snow Holy Domain that Miss GuanGuan resides in Plum Blossom Sky not only for the peace and quiet. It’s because Miss GuanGuan has fearsome strength and often unintentionally injures disciples who disturb her alchemic practices. So she decided to move and live here.”
“My, isn’t Yang Kaixin putting himself in great danger by approaching her at this time?”
“Although Yang Kaixin is also a peak cultivator of the Mahayana Phase, there are varying degrees of strength even within that level. Miss GuanGuan, with her obsession for the Dao of alchemy, has been referred to as the ‘Alchemy Fanatic’. She broke through the peak of the Mahayana phase long ago. Furthermore, the terrifying power brought about by the various celestial and earthly treasures she possesses… It’s almost impossible for a peak cultivator of the Mahayana phase to withstand. Quickly, look! Yang Kaixin is really approaching her!”
Under everyone’s watchful eyes, Yang Zhen went up to Miss GuanGuan. He curiously squatted down, picking up a fragment from the ground. Sniffing it and even tasting it.
Miss GuanGuan furrowed her brows as if she just realized what Yang Zhen was doing. She looked up at Yang Zhen with a cold expression, then continued to contemplate the problem.
Both of them were crouching side-by-side. Every now and then, they would pick up some scraps. Shortly after, Miss GuanGuan even started copying Yang Zhen, and straight up put the fragments in her mouth for tasting.
The crowd watched this strange scene in front of them dumbfoundedly. Many people were just waiting for Miss GuanGuan to lose her temper.
Little Fatty mumbled to himself, “So… That works too? If I knew, I would have squatted next to her and tasted it together. Even if the remnants of the potion tasted horribly, I could have endured it to spend time with Miss GuanGuan. No wonder Junior Sister Liu Xian is so protective of Yang Kaixin. His methods for courting girls are indeed superior!”
Who would’ve thought of doing this?
By this time, Yang Zhen and Miss GuanGuan had almost finished examining all the remnants on the ground. To the surprise of onlookers, Yang Zhen appeared to be deep in thought as he reached for the last piece of debris. Unexpectedly, GuanGuan followed suit and grabbed Yang Zhen’s hand at the same moment.
Both of their bodies shuddered slightly as they exchanged glances.
Little Fatty’s eyes bulged in surprise, shoving his hand into his mouth while watching the two in astonishment.
Hisss!
All the onlookers drew a sharp breath!
