They heard a squeaking noise from the furnace. Finally, Yun Shimo withdrew his slightly trembling hands.


    Even a highly-skilled master like Yun Shimo could reach the point of Spiritual Qi depletion. Hua Qiyue could clearly sense his body emptied. He needed some time to replenish his Qi.


    She had to admire the alchemists. It was not easy to refine pills.


    "Done!" Yun Shimo said in a low growl. He lifted the cauldron cover and found the broth to have evaporated. A huge purple pill sat quietly in the midst, glowing with a purplish sheen.


    The pill waspletely spherical. Its medicinal odor was unique, carrying with it a faint lotus scent as well as the fragrance of something Hua Qiyue could not describe.


    "The Spring Reviving Pill. Break it up and take it for three days. Seven dayster, his voice would recover." Yun Shimo said ndly. He turned, walked over to a side couch andy on it. He did not look at the blushing Hua Qiyue.


    Hua Qiyue shook her head helplessly. This man was so exhausted that he preferred not to talk to her. So she stretched out her hand to take the Spring Reviving Pill. It was red hot and she released her fingers.


    It seemed that she must wait before she could pick it up. Tianci had not yet awakened. Bored, Hua Qiyue stared at a column.


    On it was engraved the sketches of certain pills, all top-grade elixirs.


    "The Spring Reviving Pill can be refined by only five alchemists in the Tianyuan Continent. You need the Purple Lotus Phoenix Ice, blood ginseng, Bailiuxing, Chushi and 19 other herbs... this pill could cure all kinds of ailments, including deafness, loss of voice, blindness etc. It acts as an antidote to countless poisons. There is no poison it cannot counteract. The Spring Reviving Pill is a Top 10 pill of the Tianyuan Continent. It is priceless... "


    Hua Qiyue saw the description and felt a fire in her chest. She almost spurted out blood. Good heavens, this, a top-grade elixir pill? And priceless too? Was this an exaggeration?


    It seemed to be a great blessing to have received a Spring Reviving Pill. Did Yun Shimo cure Tianci for the sake of Long Red?


    Hua Qiyue could find no answer to her questions. She walked over to the long couch and saw that Tianci was still sound asleep. Yun Shimo had shut his eyes tightly, his breathing a little hasty.


    Hua Qiyue felt his face turned even more ashen. There seemed to be more and more cold sweat forming. She was about to take out her handkerchief to wipe his sweat when Yun Shimo suddenly opened his cold eyes. His pupils were like two profound cold abysses, drawing her heart powerfully in, like gravity.


    "Time to take the Spring Reviving Pill. Go back with Tianci!" Yun Shimo said quietly. His voice was much weaker.


    Hua Qiyue blinked. "Your Highness, are you hurt? Will you get injured just by refining a pill?"


    Yun Shimo swept her a gaze, as if she were an idiot.


    Hua Qiyue saw that he refused to answer. She smiled dismally. Yun Shimo suddenly started to cough lightly. For some reason, she was quite worried.


    Yun Shimo turned over and his back faced Hua Qiyue. Its curvature had a muscr allure. Hua Qiyue felt her cheeks burn slightly. Except for Zhou Zhicheng, she had seen no other man in a sleeping posture... oh no, make it two. Except for Zhou Zhicheng and Tianpi, she had seen no other man in a sleeping posture.


    The odd thing was that Tianpi and Yun Shimo were both her Masters. They had forced her to ept them as Masters. How bizarre!


    Hua Qiyue suddenly realized that Yun Shimo’s body was shivering slightly.


    She knitted her pretty brows and stretched out her slender hands, trying to turn Yun Shimo over.


    Yun Shimo had not expected Hua Qiyue to suddenly turn his body over. He gazed into Hua Qiyue’s eyes, moist with the gleam of autumnal waves. For some reason, Yun Shimo’s heart started to thump wildly. His face flushed like crimson clouds.


    The blushing Yun Shimo looked a little shy. His handsome demeanor and blushing face stunned Hua Qiyue.


    "What are you doing?" The man’s slightly deep voice made Hua Qiyuee to herself.


    Her gaze refused to waver,nding resolutely on the corner of Yun Shimo’s lips.


    His lips were like cherry blossoms and very enticing. But there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth.


    Hua Qiyue’s heart sank. She knitted her lovely brows and quickly took out her handkerchief to wipe off that trace of blood.


    "Did you suffer an internal injury? Aren’t you a medicine saint? How can you get hurt just from refining a pill? But really... The Spring Reviving Pill isn’t the sort of top-grade pill that anyone could refine! The refining duration must be long, the heat high. Looks like it isn’t easy to be an alchemist."


    "I’m fine. You bring Tianci back. Take the pill with soup. Its effect will be better." Yun Shimo said nonchntly. When hey down again, his breathing was much steadier.


    Hua Qiyue gave a start. She was quite embarrassed by her former bad attitude.


    However, he was showing her the door. There seemed no reason for her to stay.


    After Yun Shimo had finished refining the pill, he was almost about to copse. This pill must be exceptional.


    Hua Qiyue walked toward the long couch. Yun Shimo’s face was ashen. His condition didn’t look too good but his breathing was quite steady.


    Sensing Hua Qiyue’s approach, Yun Shimo turned his body over, as if he could not be bothered with her.


    Hua Qiyue lifted her brows. She had wanted to thank Yun Shimo but he had totally ignored her. She felt a little disheartened.


    She looked toward Tianci on one side. The little fellow was still sound asleep. A faint smile was on his porcin face. He must be very happy about the current situation, eh?


    Hua Qiyue could not bear to disturb the two. Yun Shimo started to cough weakly.


    Hua Qiyue remembered that this man had always been healthy. Had he caught a chill after refining a pill? Quite incredible, wasn’t it?


    She suddenly recalled that she had not felt any sultriness. Despite a heat wave in front of the cauldron, she was not drenched in sweat.


    Yun Shimo... he must have felt so strained because he had depleted all his spiritual energy?


    Hua Qiyue’s heart was moved. She strode forward and turned Yun Shimo’s body forcefully over. Of course, Yun Shimo had not expected this move. His pupils, cold like two profound abysses, stared into her eyes, moistened like autumnal waters.


    Hua Qiyue felt herself to have fallen into a deep pool. It was cold everywhere. But her drifting eyes finally rested on the corner of his lips.


    His lips were pink like peach blossom petals. They were very seductive. Such a handsome man. Even though she was a woman, she felt an urge to dash up to bite his lips. But there was a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth!


    It seemed that Yun Shimo had suffered a heavy internal injury during the previous Alchemy process?


    "Are you hurt? Spring Reviving Pill is a rare pill, and you’ll pay the price even if you seeded refining it. Yun Shimo, howe you don’t tell me that you’ll get hurt?" Hua Qiyue’s eyebrows knitted and she hastily fished out an embroidered napkin to wipe the bloodstain on Yun Shimo’s lips.


    However, the napkin turned out to be soaked in his sweat.


    "Well, I’m fine. You bring Tianci back!"


    Yun Shimo acted naturally to get rid of Hua Qiyue’s hand. When she was wiping the corner of his mouth, her soft fingers identally touched his lips. At that time, he found his heart racing rapidly and his white cheeks having the hue of the sunset glow.


    As a man, he blushed, and he looked actually fine. He blushed as if he were looking at his loved one.


    Hua Qiyue’s brows knitted even tighter, like two wriggling worms.


    "Are you really alright?"


    "I am a famous medicine saint. Princess Jinghua, do you think that I would sustain a serious internal injury just because of a pill?" Sarcasm shed across Yun Shimo’s eyes. "Hua Qiyue, are you worried for me?"


    His probe made Hua Qiyue shake her head helplessly. "Forget it. Thank you, Yun Shimo!"


    Yun Shimo’s face immediately sank.


    "I am worried about you because you are Tianci’s benefactor. Also, you are my Master." Hua Qiyue saw his face turn dark rapidly and immediately said something more pleasing to the ears.


    The man gradually dispelled the darkness in his face.


    "Go back with Tianci. If you and Tianci stay the night, there will be idle gossip."


    An unmarried woman could not of course stay in another man’s house for the night. Otherwise, her reputation would be tarnished. Hua Qiyue raised her eyebrows. She stared at Yun Shimo, quite amused. "Who told you I’m staying the night? Never mind. You rest. I’m going off with Tianci."


    At this moment, Bingyi walked in from the outside, handing Hua Qiyue a red brocade box. She immediately understood that it was the container for the pill.


    Hua Qiyue ced the Spring Reviving Pill inside the brocade box. Little Tianci had awakened. After saying goodbye to Yun Shimo, Hua Qiyue returned to the mansion with Tianci.


    Just as she was about to leave Prince Nan’s mansion, Bingyi called for her to stop.


    "Please stay, Princess Jinghua!"


    In the sh of an eye, Bingyi had soared over to Hua Qiyue. He stared at her coldly with a very unfriendly expression.


    Hua Qiyue was not bothered. "What is it, young master?"


    Bingyi scrutinized her from head to toes. This woman in white before him had calm eyes. Her bearing was noble, her looks ravishing. She had the resources to make a man’s heart throb.


    Once he remembered that his Young Master was injured because of this woman, Bingyi’s gaze turned cold.


    "Does Princess Jinghua know that it’s not easy to refine a Spring Reviving Pill?"


    Bingyi’s icy voice made Hua Qiyue’s face turn slightly dark. Of course, she could guess that the more valuable the pill was, the harder it was to refine.


    "I know. But if you are willing to tell me what His Highness has gone through, I will be happy to listen," Hua Qiyue said quietly. She waspletelyposed.


    She was still a human being. Although she had been reincarnated, she would not trust anyone easily again. Yet, she had seen with her own eyes Yun Shimo refining this pill for Tianci.


    "The Spring Reviving Pill is one of the top 10 elixir pills of Tianyuan Continent. You need many rare herbs and 10 years of an alchemist’s life to refine it. After using up all an alchemist’s Spiritual Qi, it will then deplete his innate True Energy. Only then can you seed. But after that, the alchemist will usually sustain a serious internal injury... his liver will be damaged. Princess Jinghua, do you now understand the price His Highness has to pay in refining the pill?"


    Bingyi said in a low voice. His eyes were full of resentment and cold disdain.


    "Your Highness was often rude to His Highness. Yet the Prince still helped you to refine the pill. What can I say "


    Bingyi had an impulse to hit her.
