Chapter 30

Tian Huo glanced over and immediately exclaimed, "Disciple, you've advanced to a Fourth-Rank Alchemist?"

Ye Xuan replied modestly, "Master overpraises; I merely got lucky to enter."

After speaking, he cast a glance at Shan Qianqian.

He is so powerful yet so modest; how could Shan Qianqian not be moved?

The crowd around them could not help but cry out in shock: "So strong! Only one month after entering the Academy, he has already advanced to the early stage of Fourth-Rank, and he is a Fourth-Rank Alchemist."

"Dual cultivation of Alchemy and Martial Arts, with talent in both aspects this strong, is rare in a century."

"Not just that; it's a once-in-a-millennium occurrence! Jixia Academy has never produced such a genius before."

Everyone looked at Ye Xuan, their eyes filled with shock.

Even many young ladies were seeing stars, thinking, "So strong!"

Xu Chen nodded silently to himself, thinking, "Not bad, not bad; this time the plot is normal."

The protagonist is acting the part well; after this display, the people of the Tianzun Imperial Dynasty will come to befriend him.

Throughout the entire process, no heroine caused any trouble.

Perfect, too perfect!

At this moment, Ye Xuan smiled and looked at Shan Qianqian: "Miss Qianqian, what do you think?"

Shan Qianqian acknowledged, "Indeed very strong; this elixir is truly excellent."

As she spoke, she kept staring at the elixir.

There are almost no rewards at the distribution point; if I could get my hands on it, that would be wonderful.

Seeing Shan Qianqian's gaze, Ye Xuan felt it was exactly what he wanted.

He directly handed over the elixir with a gentlemanly smile: "Miss Qianqian, if you do not mind, this elixir is yours."

Shan Qianqian was stunned: "This is not appropriate; after all, it cost you many precious Fourth-Rank medicinal herbs."

Hearing this, a flash of heartache crossed Ye Xuan's eyes.

Indeed, he had just used many Fourth-Rank spiritual herbs obtained from the inner circle, paying a huge price.

But thinking that it was to win a beauty's smile, what did that matter?

Therefore, he smiled and said, "Such small herbs, how can they compare to Miss Qianqian? Please accept them, Miss Qianqian."

Shan Qianqian said earnestly, "You are giving it to me; I did not force it, so I do not consider myself indebted to you."

Ye Xuan immediately said, "What kind of words are those, Miss? I simply wish to make a friend; how could I let you owe me?"

Hearing this, Shan Qianqian took the elixir: "Fine, then we owe each other nothing. I am very greedy, so do not think you are at a loss."

Ye Xuan gave another gentlemanly smile: "Miss is joking; in my heart, you have always been generous and kind."

He felt that by speaking thus and acting so gentlemanly, he was absolutely perfect.

With a man like him, how could a beauty not fall in love?

Yet the very next moment, Shan Qianqian's action left him completely stunned on the spot.

Only seeing that Shan Qianqian, who had just received the elixir, immediately happily handed it to Xu Chen.

"Xu Chen, remember how I owed you just now? Here, the Spirit Nether Elixir is for you."

Shan Qianqian said happily.

Xu Chen: "..."

He had calculated a thousand things, but never expected Shan Qianqian to pull this move.

He had thought the plot was about to end, but it took an unexpected turn.

My waist is about to snap!

He coughed and said, "Miss Qianqian, this was given to you by Ye Xuan; do not make a scene."

Big sister, keep a low profile; the protagonist Ye Xuan is right there.

After speaking, he glanced at Ye Xuan and found his face already black as ink.

Just one step more, and it would probably erupt like a volcano.

Shan Qianqian was unconcerned: "He said he was giving it to me, and we owe each other nothing, so it is mine, right? Brother Chen, please take it, okay?"

In her words, there was a hint of grievance and a touch of pleading.

Xu Chen looked pained; he had still underestimated these heroines' ability to cause trouble!

Should he accept this elixir, or not?

PS: Fifth update! Requesting all kinds of data!!!

Xu Chen thought it over one last time; he felt that as a villain,

he was supposed to go crazy opposing the protagonist and make him unhappy.

Therefore, Xu Chen looked at Shan Qianqian with an embarrassed expression and said, "Fine, since you're begging me, I'll reluctantly accept it.

But let's get one thing straight first: you're giving it to me; I didn't ask for it."

His tone was exactly like the one Shan Qianqian had used when speaking to Ye Xuan before.

Only now, Shan Qianqian was the one being put in her place.

After speaking, Xu Chen took the elixir and naturally tucked it into his robes.

Shan Qianqian said shyly, "As long as Brother Chen accepts it, just don't ignore me from now on."

Xu Chen nodded lightly, "Depends on my mood. You'd better behave; I don't like irritable women."

Hearing this, Shan Qianqian immediately nodded like a chick pecking rice, "Okay, I'll definitely be good."

After speaking, she covered her face with both hands, becoming even more shy and obedient.

The onlookers stood there with mouths agape. Wow, is this the usual Shan Qianqian?

Normally, Shan Qianqian was calm and indifferent, never touching men, let alone showing such a shy expression.

But now, after seeing Xu Chen, she seemed like a completely different person!

Tian Huo beside her blinked. Was this girl really that interested in Xu Chen?

"Damn it!"

Seeing this scene, Ye Xuan's teeth ground together, almost ready to shatter.

He couldn't take it anymore. This was the elixir he had refined, the one he had refined!

How did Xu Chen have the face to take it? How did he have the face?

So Ye Xuan shouted angrily, "Xu Chen, how the hell do you have the nerve?"

Xu Chen shrugged, "I didn't take yours; I took Qianqian's elixir. What's your problem?"

Shan Qianqian retorted on the spot, "Exactly, Ye Xuan. Once it's given to me, it's mine. What did you say before?"

Veins bulged on Ye Xuan's forehead, but I never thought you'd turn around and give it to Xu Chen!

So angry, so frustrated, so crushed!

I really want to beat someone up right now!

Damn it, why has he been one step behind Xu Chen since childhood?

From Qingyang City until now, it hasn't stopped!

Tian Huo beside them coughed and patted Ye Xuan's shoulder, "Kid, once it's given away, stop dwelling on it. Be generous."

Ye Xuan's mouth twitched wildly, but this wasn't about being generous or not.

The issue was that he had wanted to use this elixir to suppress Xu Chen.

But the result was that Xu Chen did nothing and crushed him instead.

Who could stand that?

Ye Xuan finally took a deep breath, "Fine, just consider it as if I fed the elixir to a dog.

Anyway, as a Fourth-Rank Alchemist, I can refine this elixir anytime.

On the other hand, some people will never be able to refine it in their entire lives."

After speaking, Ye Xuan glanced at Xu Chen with a look of disdain.

He believed that in this regard, he could always crush Xu Chen.

Xu Chen shrugged, "But I have someone giving me elixirs; why would I need to refine them?"

Ye Xuan: "..."
