The General's Genius Daughter

Chapter 296 Got Blown Away!

Steam billowed out from the medicine tripod. The white steam rose, turning the whole medicine refining chamber into a fairyland with mist curling upward.

The crowd’s eyes widened abruptly because the mist that followed was as gorgeous as the rosy clouds, with an aura of sacredness. Yun Shimo was still standing there. Given the way he behaved, he was trying his best to apply anima energy into the tripod!

Everyone knew that this moment was critical!

And Yun Shimo instantly took back the anima energy shield and put all the remaining anima energy into the tripod.

Boom—

After a small noise, a crimson medicine pellet rose slowly from the tripod. However, it was only the size of a thumb, but against the gorgeous clouds, it appeared fantastic!

He succeeded!

Everyone felt surprised and involuntarily showed a knowing smile. Hua Qiyue took Tianci’s little hand, trembling with excitement.

However, the moment the Soul-rejuvenating Pellet rose into the air, the tripod suddenly sent out mighty heat power with a loud bang and blew Yun Shimo away!

“Yun Shimo!”

“Brother Yun...”

The crowd exclaimed in alarm. Hua Qiyue watched all this in a daze. Xuanji, however, was the first to crash into the room. He waved his big sleeve, and a blast of snow and ice flew from his sleeve and landed on the burning tripod!

The fire on the tripod was finally put out. Yun Shimo fell feebly, but fortunately, he held on to the table beside him.

Hua Qiyue looked at him and was speechless.

Tianci exclaimed, “Mom, oh no, dad has become a roast pig!”

Indeed, at present, Yun Shimo was all black, and even his robe was burned into coke. All he had left was a shabby set of underwear. His face, however, was too black to show any injury.

Ji Jing let out a cry of shock and dared not look at him any further. Princess Qianyang turned away sheepishly as well.

As soon as Tianci rushed in, Hua Qiyue grabbed him. “Don’t go. I don’t know if your dad was hurt.”

If he were hurt, it would hurt him to be held like that by a child.

“Brother Yun, are you all right?” Seeing Yun Shimo gawk at the Soul-rejuvenating Pellet that had landed on the table, Ji Feng was really worried if his brain had been burned.

“I’m fine...”

Yun Shimo’s voice was extremely hoarse. Bingyi quickly handed him a pot of water. “Your Highness, take a sip of water first. Did you get hurt? What medicine pellets do you need, Your Highness?”

Bingyi nervously handed Yun Shimo the pot. Yun Shimo shot him an indifference glance and said, “I’m disfigured.”

The crowd was frightened, and all looked at his once handsome face.

His face was black. No one knew if it had been smoked or burned...

Hua Qiyue seemed to have seen that she and a black pig lived together in a romantic couple’s world, and then gave birth to a black baby...

“Don’t overthink it. I’m... fine. I’m just tired.”

Yun Shimo took the water, took a few sips, sat down feebly, and breathed deeply.

The crowd looked at each other. Bai Qianxue knew Yun Shimo best. After all, he was an alchemist too.

“What he needs most right now is Qi-recovery Pills. Do you have one? He also needs water, rest, and peace,” Bai Qianxue said flatly.

Ji Feng hurriedly took out several Qi-recovery Pills from his Space Ring and handed them to Yun Shimo.

Yun Shimo took them and swallowed four medicine pellets in one gulp. Bingyi, however, fished out a red samite box carefully from his pouch and packed the Soul-rejuvenating Pellet for Yun Shimo. “Master, you’d better go and have a good rest!”

Yun Shimo took the samite box and nodded gently. Hua Qiyue had a flood of ideas in her mind, but she didn’t know what to say.

Yun Shimo opened the samite box, and the pure smell of medicine filled the air again. The better the medicine pellet, the stronger the smell. It seemed that this Soul-rejuvenating Pellet was a first-class finished product!

A flicker of joy flashed through Yun Shimo’s eyes. In fact, he had changed the prescription, but he had felt a little uncertain.

Unexpectedly, he succeeded in refining it—the enhanced version. It seemed that some kind of medicine material was missing in the previous prescription, which was why so many alchemists failed to make it.

For the first time, Bai Qianxue smiled so sincerely and brightly. “Oh, Brother Yun is truly awesome. You successfully refined the enhanced version of the Soul-rejuvenating Pellet. More importantly, you didn’t get blown apart, and your limbs are intact. You’re pretty powerful. You deserve to be the No. 1 alchemist in the world!”

As a superior, Bai Qianxue naturally appreciated the strong. He wouldn’t mind if Yun Shimo got Hua Qiyue!

Xuanji nodded. “Brother Bai is right. Yun Shimo, you’re in luck!”

Yun Shimo narrowed his black eyes. “I am not just lucky. Most importantly, I have the strength!

Hearing this, the people present couldn’t help laughing.

All of a sudden, everyone felt relieved. Bingyi helped Yun Shimo back to his bedroom. Then he immediately heated two large buckets of water and brought them to Yun Shimo’s room, telling him to have some tonic soup after a good wash. After that, Yun Shimo slept for a day and a night.

Remaining awake for three days and three nights was really hard for an ordinary person, but it was excruciating for a Qi Artist who was refining medicine.

After all, the Qi Artist still needed to spend his anima energy on the tripod and be highly focused. In this way, the Qi Artist got tired easily.

Hua Qiyue and Tianci had once gone into the room to see Yun Shimo. They saw that he was clean and all right, except that his eyebrows and inky hair curled due to the fire, and that there was a piece of burned skin on his forehead.

Hua Qiyue breathed a sigh of relief and went outside with Tianci to wait for Yun Shimo to wake up.

Yun Shimo woke up at lunch the next day. He seemed to have slept contentedly for a long time.

Yun Shimo thought of his Soul-rejuvenating Pellet and groped his chest pocket. When he touched the samite box, he could not help but smile.

He could take this medicine pellet. If the medicine pellet could make him advance two whole levels, he would reach the great completeness of the Great Deity Realm!

How many such figures were there in this world?

Even if Chu Qianzhao or Xuanyuan Wutian had come, he would not have worried.

Yun Shimo came out of the room. Tianci caught sight of him first. He jumped to his feet and hugged Yun Shimo tightly.

“Dad, are you awake? We’ve been waiting for you for a long time!” Tianci cried in surprise.

The others, too, came up to him and looked at him in silence.

“Dad has woken up. Let’s go to lunch together...”

Yun Shimo smiled faintly, looked at Hua Qiyue tenderly, and said nothing.

Nevertheless, Ji Feng was exceptionally excited. “Brother Yun, if you take that medicine pellet, you’ll reach the great completeness of the Great Deity Realm. The most powerful person in the Tianyuan Continent is merely in the Great Deity Realm. Congratulations!”

“Brother Ji, I’m flattered. I have refined this medicine pellet once and gained experience. The next time I refine it, the process could be simpler, maybe in two days.”

Yun Shimo’s words gave Hua Qiyue a fright. She remembered that her heart sank the moment Yun Shimo was blown away.

Was he going to do that dangerous thing a second time?

“Brother Yun, that’s too dangerous. Don’t do it again!” Ji Feng hurriedly shook his head.

“Yeah, Brother Yun. Even Brother Bai has praised you for making such a medicine pellet. What else do you want?” Ji Jing asked curiously.

...

Bingyi’s heart sank to the utmost. Yun Shimo was so desperate. Was he trying to refine another elixir for Hua Qiyue?

Yun Shimo smiled faintly but didn’t say anything.

He did not look as good as he used to be. After all, he sustained some minor injuries during the alchemy, and most of his anima energy was consumed. These things naturally did him some damage.

The array made of runes was still there. Hua Qiyue, however, hastened to remove it. Moreover, she told the cook to buy some good wine and let her people have a good drink.

Yun Shimo had a good appetite this time, perhaps because he felt Hua Qiyue’s gentle eyes.

After lunch, Yun Shimo rested in his room again. Hua Qiyue’s tense nerves relaxed, and she realized that she was tired as well. She asked Ji Jing to take Tianci outside to play, and she, too, rested in her room.

Scarcely had she lain down when she heard a noise near the window. She raised her eyes and saw a pair of burning eyes.

That pair of deep pupils made Hua Qiyue’s whole body shake. “Yun Shimo...”

He actually had come into her room, avoiding all eyes.

Yun Shimo pressed himself on top of her and gave her a gentle smile. “What? You haven’t had any intimate contact with me for several days. Do you miss me very much?”

Hua Qiyue didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. She poked him on the forehead and said, “Don’t be garrulous. If you dare to refine this dangerous medicine pellet again, I’ll slash you with a sword!”

Yun Shimo bent over her with a smile and kissed her brow. “Didn’t I do it for you? Qiyue, I will refine one for you next time.”

“I don’t want it!” Hua Qiyue hurriedly shook her head. She tried to push the man on top of her away, but she had no strength.

She did not know whether she was tired or unwilling to push him away.

“That’s too dangerous, Yun Shimo. I don’t want you to do that a second time. Promise me, will you?” Hua Qiyue’s eyes were full of supplication.

Yun Shimo stared at Hua Qiyue’s rosy and delicate face, his heart pounding. He bent down again and kissed her lips gently, and his body was on fire...

Hua Qiyue gave a tantalizing noise. Yun Shimo’s kisses were all the more passionate. He said as he kissed her, “Qiyue, you’re... gorgeous...”

Hua Qiyue shivered a little and finally said nothing, silently acknowledging his love claim.

At last, his hand slipped to her lower abdomen, and she took it hastily. “Yun Shimo, we’ll do it during the night of consummation.”

Yun Shimo burst into a laugh and pinched her lovely red nose. “I knew you would say so!”

After that, he turned and lay beside her on the bed, holding her hand, and they were silent.

Hua Qiyue felt a little depressed. He did not agree to her request just now, so it seemed that he was going to refine medicine again.

At nightfall.

After dinner, Yun Shimo finally decided to take the Soul-rejuvenating Pellet tonight.

Given the medicine pellet’s surface, it would be a top-grade elixir. But Yun Shimo had no idea how potent it would be.

That was because no legend or scroll mentioned the effects or after-effects of taking the Soul-rejuvenating Pellet.

Inside the guest room.

Yun Shimo blocked out all noises with anima energy. Inside the room, the pea-sized light of the rapeseed oil lamp flickered in the wind that sneaked in from the window.

Yun Shimo sat quietly on the ground and took a deep breath. Then he took the Sou-rejuvenating Pellet out from his chest pocket. The strong smell of medicine wafted out.

Because Yun Shimo had blocked this place, the smell of medicine and his aura could not be transmitted.
