The red moon shining brightly in the sky, casting a pale, crimson glow over the herb garden. This place, once brimming with vibrant life, was now scorched and blackened, a testament to the intense process taking place at its center.
Kent hovered in the air, his entire body glowing a deep red from the heat, like molten lava encased in human form. Before him, the Phoenix Cauldron roared with a flame that seemed to consume the very air. The herbs he added disappeared into its depths, feeding the poison pill brewing within.
The space around him had turned pitch black. The very ground beneath the cauldron was scorched, and the flora, now twisted and boiled, utterly overwhelmed by the cauldron’s infernal energy. The air is filled thick with toxicity.
At the edges of this darkened zone stood Kent’s pets. Jabil, Ruby, Kavi, and the baby dragon. They maintained a safe distance, almost twenty meters away, their expressions mixed with concern and awe as they watched Kent’s mastery unfold.
None dared to venture closer. Even breathing near the cauldron’s deadly flames was a gamble. The baby dragon let out a soft growl, unsettled by the overwhelming toxic energy.

At the entrance of the Herb garden…
Late in the night, Lily came to the herb garden to pass information to Kent. She dressed boldly, with revealing thighs and long cleavage exposing her snow white balloons. Her hair is flowing behind her and droplets of water are still stuck to her alluring skin.
Thea joined Lily in the middle as she is very curious to see where Lily is going in the middle of the night.
But as they approached the Herb garden, Thea understood where Lily was going to see Kent. She hurriedly stood opposite to Lily at the entrance of the herb garden.
“Stop… you are really going to see him like this?” Thea stopped Lily and asked in a tense tone.
“Yeah… I just want to see if he has any interest in me!” Lily replied with a smile.
“What…?! But why? Both of you are just acting, Right?!” Thea uttered in urgency.
“I don’t have any particular reason. That fellow Kent has been ignoring me since the beginning. Yesterday, I asked him to show his face. But he tried to intimidate me with a warning. That’s why I’m going to melt his heart and make him obey my word. Hehe…” Lily explained with a giggle.
Thea felt a headache after hearing Lily’s reply. She clearly doesn’t like Lily showing interest in Kent. “But aren’t you showing too much! You are almost seducing him in this attire. What if he falls for you?” Thea asked impatiently.
“Sister, Don’t worry. I won’t stay long. Also, after he shows his face to me, I will keep him in place. I’m getting late, move aside.”
Lily walked forward, pushing Thea aside. Thea stood there at the entrance as she was dumbstruck by Lily’s actions.
Meanwhile the situation inside the herb garden was not so good.
Suddenly, Ruby’s sharp eyes caught sight of Lily. She moved quickly and stopped Lily in a long distance.
“Don’t go further,” Ruby warned, her voice steady but firm, raising a hand to stop Lily in her tracks. “You can’t bear the poison radiating from the cauldron.”
Lily blinked in surprise, her gaze moving from Ruby to the scorched earth ahead. The blackened ground was bubbling, almost as if the very soil had become molten. Her eyes widened in disbelief.
“What… What’s going on here?” Her voice trembled slightly as she took in the sight of Kent, his body glowing crimson in the fiery light of the cauldron.
Ruby’s expression was stoic as she answered. “Kent is brewing a pill.”
Lily’s eyes darted back to Kent, now levitating in front of the cauldron, adding another glowing herb with precision.
The intensity of the scene struck her hard. She had always known Kent was powerful, but this… this was something else. She had never seen anything that could turn the Spirit River’s blessed ground into a wasteland.
“I need to talk to him. When will he finish?” Lily asked.

Ruby glanced back at Kent. “Wait another fifteen minutes. It’s dangerous to interrupt him now.” she said, her voice softening slightly.
But Kent had already sensed Lily’s presence. He paused, his hands still hovering above the cauldron as he carefully balanced the heat, ensuring the pill remained stable. Slowly, he turned his head toward her, his eyes gleaming under the reflected light of the cauldron’s fire.
“What are you doing here late at night?” Kent’s voice carried across the garden, strong and calm despite the inferno swirling around him.
Lily stepped closer, but Ruby held her back firmly.
“King Ragnar sent me,” she called out in a loud tone, knowing the distance between them required it. “He asked me to inform you to be ready by morning. He wants to take you to a special place. He said it’s important.”
Kent’s expression softened slightly, and he gave a small nod of acknowledgment. “I see, tell him I’ll be ready.” He said, his tone measured.
Lily lingered, her gaze still fixated on the chaotic scene. The garden that had once been so peaceful, a place she had often walked in silence, was now transformed into something unrecognizable.
“What are you doing?” she asked again. “This… this doesn’t look like just any normal concoction.”
Kent glanced back at the Phoenix Cauldron, the fire within it dancing as if alive. His voice was modest when he answered, as if the task were simple. “I’m just brewing a pill.”
Lily frowned, clearly not satisfied with that answer. “I can see that,” she replied, her tone growing sharper. “But the whole garden is… Look at it! This isn’t normal. What could possibly cause this much damage to the ground that was nourished by the Spirit River’s waters?”
Kent allowed himself a small smile, though his gaze remained serious. “Don’t worry, I can heal this garden. It will be as usual by tomorrow morning.”
Lily was clearly dissatisfied with Kent’s answer. She was expecting Kent to explain about the pill or at least take full glance at her revealing, seductive body. But none of it happened.
