Alchemy Notes

In the imperial palace at night, within a certain palace, the royal family and the Ye family were celebrating the birthdays of two young stars. This banquet was private, so not many people were invited, but those present were all heavyweight figures of the empire.

Yes, heavyweight figures. A single move from them could make the entire empire tremble for a while.

As in previous years, the little spendthrift began his extravagant behavior at the banquet, taking the Seventh Princess and Tiger Girl to set off "fireworks" in the plaza. His fireworks.

Suddenly, eight fire dragons appeared in the sky above the plaza, soaring upwards and illuminating the surroundings. The sight of the fire dragons ascending was incredibly magnificent; if judged solely on visual appeal, it was top-tier.

These fire dragons weren't just visible to those near the palace; the entire imperial capital could see them. Many who witnessed this felt a chill of fear along with the awe.

Those who didn't know better assumed something had happened in the palace, wondering why such fire dragons suddenly appeared. They would never have imagined that these fire dragons were merely fireworks someone was playing with.

"Holy crap, Level 8 magic, the Eight Fire Dragon Technique! Damn, this Magic Scroll must be at least a hundred thousand Gold Coins. I've heard he's a spendthrift, but now I realize what I heard before was just the tip of the iceberg."

At once, everyone present began to murmur amongst themselves, and Ye Chengtian started to frown, feeling that this was perhaps going too far.

"Huh? That's strange, when did we get this?" At this moment, Tiger Girl, who had taken out the scroll, was taken aback. She hadn't expected to have a Level 8 Magic Scroll.

"Just bought it, a Level 5 Fire Dragon Technique scroll. Why would eight dragons appear?" the little spendthrift said. Although he was weak in other aspects, his memory was photographic.

"Then we got a great deal. We only spent three thousand Gold Coins. But it's too late to say anything now," Tiger Girl sighed. She should have checked first; this young master often bought strange and unusual things. Perhaps it was true that like attracts like.

"It doesn't matter, it's just for looking at anyway," the little spendthrift said without a hint of regret.

"Young Master, your gift..." Seeing the Eight Fire Dragon Technique that had suddenly appeared, which had captured everyone's attention, Tiger Girl took the opportunity to urge the little spendthrift to present his gift.

"Right, wife, this is the gift I bought for you today. One hundred and eighty thousand Gold Coins, the most expensive thing I've bought." The little spendthrift took the item and directly handed it to the Seventh Princess.

One hundred and eighty thousand Gold Coins. The Ye family members winced in pain. Long Anqi was contemplating whether she should temporarily cut off the little brat's financial resources, but every time she saw that troublesome little fellow, she couldn't bring herself to do it.

Forget it, she thought, it's as if she owed him from a past life; let him be happy.

"What is it?" the Seventh Princess asked with a smile. She didn't feel any aversion to the little spendthrift's way of addressing her. If any other man engaged to her called her "wife," she would have been disgusted, but she felt no disgust towards this silly, clumsy little guy.

Perhaps it was because she knew that his calling her "wife" was just a term of endearment and held no other meaning.

At the same time, the Seventh Princess also enjoyed being with the little spendthrift. Their relationship was very good, and she didn't seem to oppose their engagement, which many found strange.

Although the Seventh Princess wasn't the most outstanding among the princesses, she was still a beautiful princess who had many suitors. This was quite unexpected.

Perhaps it was because she was still young, and things might change when she grew up. But that was a matter for the future. For now, she simply liked that the little spendthrift had a pure heart and that being with him brought no worries or scheming.

If it were anyone else, at this moment, when the Seventh Princess asked this question, they would say, "You'll know when you open it," and perhaps even mention a surprising gift.

But the Thirteenth Young Master was not just anyone. Not only did he answer directly, but he even said something he shouldn't have: "The Moon God's Laurel Crown. Tiger Girl said girls like this."

Sigh, wasn't that telling her that if Tiger Girl hadn't said to buy it, he might not have?

The Seventh Princess smiled slightly, opened it, took a look, and then handed the Moon God's Laurel Crown back to the Thirteenth Young Master, saying, "Since you're giving it to me, you should be the one to put it on."

"Oh..." The Thirteenth Young Master replied, then looked at the Moon God's Laurel Crown in his hand and casually placed it on the Seventh Princess's head, making it look a little askew.

The Seventh Princess knew this would happen, so she adjusted it herself and then asked, "Does it look good?"

"Mmm, this sapphire is so big, it looks very nice," the Thirteenth Young Master nodded.

"..., I'm asking if I look good." The Seventh Princess said with a hint of helplessness.

"You look good too, better than my sister."

"..."

"Ye Lang, what did you just say?!" Ye Lanyu suddenly appeared from somewhere, staring at the clumsy young master.

"I just said she looks better than you..."

"You dare say that again?!"

"Why wouldn't I dare? She really does look better than you."

"How is she better looking than me? Look at her, she's flat-chested, and not very tall..." Ye Lanyu began to list faults about the Seventh Princess, but what she said seemed normal, as the princess was only ten years old and still developing.

The Seventh Princess glared at Ye Lanyu, indignantly protesting Ye Lanyu's claims: "You're not much better. You're three years older than us, but your chest isn't that much bigger, and you're not particularly tall either."

"Tiger Girl, are they talking about breasts?" the Thirteenth Young Master asked, pointing at Tiger Girl's chest.

"This... yes." Tiger Girl blushed slightly and replied sheepishly.

"Mmm, I saw it when we bathed together. Her chest is only the size of a small steamed bun..."

"Ye Lang, you little idiot..."

Just as Ye Lanyu and the Thirteenth Young Master were arguing heatedly, and everyone else was watching them with smiles, a piece of news arrived. The Emperor let out a sound that temporarily disrupted the entire scene.

"What?! Are you sure this news is true?" The Emperor's astonished voice echoed across the plaza, drawing everyone's attention from the children to him.

"Your Majesty, what happened?" Ye Chengtian asked curiously. He knew the Emperor was someone who remained unfazed even if a mountain collapsed before him; no matter how big the event, he could remain calm and collected. It was rare for anything to surprise him like this.

"We just received news that the Alchemy Notes from the Alchemy Master Class have appeared," the Emperor said, seemingly not intending to hide it.
