An Jiuyue did not care if it was sleeping. It would wake up whenever it wanted something anyway.
She decided to go outside and refine medicinal pills first to make plans for hunting the Deepwater Shark Dragon.
“Why did you come out?”
With a book in his hand, Qian Jiyun was momentarily stunned when he noticed her sudden appearance.
“I suddenly realized that the quality of the medicinal pills refined outside is higher. Although I don’t know the reason, being able to increase the medicinal pill grade is a good thing, so I will refine them outside,” An Jiuyue replied honestly.
She wanted to find out the reason by refining a few more batches of medicinal pills.
Qian Jiyun put down the book in his hand and frowned at her. “The grade has suddenly increased?”
“Mhm.” An Jiuyue nodded.
She was unsure of the reason, but she was looking forward to it. Perhaps it was a good thing for her.
However, Qian Jiyun did not think so. There was no such thing as a coincidence. There had to be a price to pay, right?
“If you don’t know the reason, why not stop refining?
He was afraid that something would happen. The sudden increase in the grade of the medicinal pills might cost her some energy.
Either way, he did not hope for this. He still felt that letting An Jiuyue stop and rest would be the best choice.
He reached out and pulled her into his arms.
“Do you feel anything amiss? Refining medicinal pills is detrimental to your body, so refining more takes a toll. Now that the grade has increased, perhaps… ”
“I don’t feel anything different. Don’t worry, ” An Jiuyue interrupted.
If something had happened, she would have sensed it long ago. However, thus far, she had been refining several batches of medicinal pills in the tea shed and later on the boat without encountering any issues. She reckoned there were no side effects.
“Of course, I’m worried. Just because you don’t feel anything different now doesn’t mean you won’t,” Qian Jiyun said bluntly. He could not give in to her.
He knew he could not stop his wife from refining medicinal pills. However, he could watch over her on the boat and advise her to refine fewer medicinal pills.
“You’ve already refined a batch of pills in the Medicine Spirit. Rest first. If you want to resume after resting, I’ll protect you,” he said.
“Okay.” An Jiuyue could not win against him and complied.
The war between the Zhanling Empire and Yueming Empire ended with Zhan Beiye conquering the nine cities guarded by Ming Fucheng.
Ming Fucheng’s consecutive defeats made the Emperor so angry that he lost his patience with his favorite son. He refused to send anyone to rescue him when he was trapped in an isolated city by Zhan Beiye.
“Zhan Beiye! Zhan Beiye!”
In the isolated city, Ming Fucheng was furious. However, he could not do anything about Zhan Beiye’s army and could only curse in the camp.
“Didn’t you send your people out? Why haven’t you heard from them? How many days has it been?” He looked at the deputy general beside him with bloodshot eyes and roared.
The deputy general was speechless.
They were only dispatched a short while ago. Regardless of how quickly they traveled, it would still take them some time to reach the capital.
“Your Highness, we can’t defend Baiyan City anymore. Why don’t we retreat?” He did not answer Ming Fucheng’s question but instead offered a reminder.
Zhan Beiye would take down Baiyan City sooner or later. Once that happened, none of them would be able to escape. They might as well seize the opportunity to escape first..
