Out of habit, he opened the jade bottle's stopper and gave it a slight shake. What he heard, however, was not the crisp clink of pills striking the jade bottle, but a sound like liquid sloshing.
"Hm?"
The unexpected sound rang out, and the contents inside inevitably splashed out as well, landing on Xiao Yan's face and catching him somewhat off guard.
"...What is this?"
Xiao Yan frowned. He was not worried that it might be some kind of poison; no matter how toxic it was, it could not do anything to him. But if it was some rare refined Medicinal Liquid, that seemed rather troublesome.
Yet he kept feeling that it did not quite seem like that either.
Sitting right in front of him, she had already fallen completely into a daze, as if petrified.
"Why is it sweet..."
Xiao Yan muttered under his breath, and just then, a string of footsteps came from behind him.
"That Martial Realm Lin Dong has already left. I imagine Xiao Yan Gege should be back any moment now, right?"
"I wonder if the Fetal Stabilizing Medicine we asked him to refine earlier is ready yet."
"But even if it has been refined, she might not be willing to take it, right?"
"Better safe than sorry. Yao Wan Jie has confidence in herself, and even if she doesn't use it, it can be left for someone else later."
"After all, judging from how things look, Wan Jiejie's time should be about the same as an ordinary human woman's, around ten months. There really isn't much time left. A few days ago, Wan Jiejie even told me—"
Amid a burst of chatter from yingying yanyan, Little Fairy Doctor led them in through the door, only for them to happen to see this scene.
"..."
