It Was Deliberately Accidental

I said it wasn't kidney deficiency!!!!

Xiao Xiao glared at Xuanyuan Sheng, puffing up her cheeks.

But when she looked up, she saw no sign that Xuanyuan Sheng had said anything.

Xuanyuan Sheng had also felt a stir in his arms. He looked down and saw that she seemed to have been struck where it hurt.

[I'll find her a good place later and help her sort this out. She's so young, yet already indulging herself like this. Sigh, what's become of the world?]

Xiao Xiao stared at him blankly.

Did I just hear Xuanyuan Sheng's voice?

Her Love Mentor replied just in time.

[Exactly! A girl who loves the spicy stuff—doesn't that suit your expectations even better?]

It didn't expect a girl who wanted hypnosis, time-stopping, and indifference to not want this ability.

Xiao Xiao was still a little conflicted.

This ability seemed completely different from what she'd imagined. It didn't meet her expectations at all.

As if waiting for something, Xiao Xiao closed her eyes, but even after a long while, nothing happened.

She had no choice but to open her eyes again.

Xuanyuan Sheng sighed and shook his head. Young lady, stop staying up late reading romance stories. Take better care of yourself.

Xiao Xiao looked at him with wide, pleading eyes.

[Since you look so pitiful, I'll just have to bring out my secret weapon.]

Then she saw Xuanyuan Sheng take out a small, black pill.

"Come on, repeat after me..."

A large hand pinched her chubby cheek. Before she could even say "ah," her pink lips parted.

Xuanyuan Sheng quickly tossed the black pill into her mouth.

Xiao Xiao covered her mouth and looked at him questioningly. "Xiao Sheng, have you tried this pill?"

Xuanyuan Sheng nodded. "I have."

"How does it taste?" She lightly rolled the pill over her tongue. It had a herbal flavor, just like she'd expect from a medicinal pill.

"I removed most of the herbs' original flavors, but kept the full flavor of a few of them. That way, you'd know you were eating a healing pill," Xuanyuan Sheng explained.

Xiao Xiao nodded. Her little tiger teeth bit into the pill, and she mumbled, "Did you leave those flavors in on purpose?"

"It occurred to me while I was refining it."

The flavor melting in her mouth made her pretty little face scrunch up. "Did you do that on purpose, or was it an accident?"

"It was deliberately accidental."

Xuanyuan Sheng anticipated Xiao Xiao's move and pinched her mouth with both hands, stretching it into a duck's bill.

"Don't spit it out. Haven't you heard that good medicine tastes bitter?"

He rested his other fingers on Xiao Xiao's little head, first shaking it from side to side, then lifting her chin.

Only then did he let the little girl go.

The moment she was released, the little girl somehow found the strength to ignore the exhausted state she was in after her Martial Soul Fusion.

She crouched on the ground.

Without caring that her little hands were covered in grass, she vigorously scraped at her tongue.

"Ugh... So bitter... I've never eaten anything this bitter in my life."

She decided to put her infatuation with Xuanyuan Sheng's looks on hold for... well... one minute.

Xuanyuan Sheng shook his head at the sight of her.

Xiao Xiao, meanwhile, widened her eyes.

Xiao Sheng, you're the real beast in human form. You took out all the sweetness and left only the bitterness.

Wait, what did I just hear?

Only then did Xiao Xiao remember the voice that had appeared in her mind before Xuanyuan Sheng fed her the pill.

Her eyes darted from side to side, and her mind raced.

Could this be mind reading?!

[It's an evaluation, girl. Don't go thinking up crooked shortcuts. There are no shortcuts to love.]

[This is just a simple Evaluation System. It lets you learn what a target thinks of you at regular intervals.]

The Love Mentor scolded the girl for her strange ideas.

So it's just an evaluation. I thought it was an evaluation.

Xiao Xiao had never been so disappointed in a person—or, no, a weird thing—before.

"Feeling better now?"

Xuanyuan Sheng patted Xiao Xiao on the head.

Hmm, that feels pretty nice.

"I..."

Xiao Xiao had just been about to say, "Big brother, I fell down."

But she suddenly realized that her Soul Power had been replenished, and she was full of energy.

She froze awkwardly in place, while silently crying out, Unbelievable! Who ruined my hard-won chance to be alone with him?

Wasn't the Milk Bottle the only way to recover Soul Power quickly?

Xuanyuan Sheng seemed to notice her confusion and explained leisurely, "You can thank the pill you just took. To commemorate how it replaces the Milk Bottle and far surpasses it in effectiveness, you can call it the Milk Pill."

So something this convenient really exists?

The Violent Loli was intrigued by Xuanyuan Sheng's explanation.

Because of those Violent Gloves, she was now a once-in-an-age genius with a Three-Life Martial Soul.

The thought of holding her gauntlets and punching one Soul Master after another in the arena grew ever more appealing.

The only problem was that the Violent Gloves consumed too much energy. She couldn't recover as fast as she spent it, which meant she was a one-punch hero: after landing that one punch, she'd collapse.

If she had eighty or a hundred Milk Pills, wouldn't she be able to throw a second punch at every enemy she wanted to fight?

Thinking of this, Xiao Xiao let out a hearty laugh that didn't suit her at all.

With a thud, the invincible Lady Xiao Xiao collapsed.

"Don't laugh like that. It's creepy—I've got goosebumps," Xuanyuan Sheng said, shuddering at the sound of her laughter.

Xiao Xiao didn't seem bothered at all. She looked at Xuanyuan Sheng expectantly. "Xiao Sheng, you'll support me, right?"

But as soon as she said it, Xiao Xiao regretted it. She and Xuanyuan Sheng had only known each other for a few days. They weren't close enough for him to casually give her expensive things.

What if he gets the wrong idea?

"Your cauldron can attack, but it doesn't use enough Soul Power to drain you that much, does it?"

Xuanyuan Sheng was a little confused. She was somewhat violent, but could that cauldron of hers really be used violently?

Xiao Xiao put her hands on her hips, puffed out her chest, and bobbed her little head.

"I'm a genius in ten thousand!"

Xuanyuan Sheng ultimately didn't agree to Xiao Xiao's request. Instead, he pointed her toward another option.

That was her upperclasswoman, the one who knew how to refine pills.

It wasn't impossible that the upperclasswoman had stumbled across an inheritance from another continent and learned alchemy from it. After all, this continent was full of inheritances from other places.

Every god had to find a successor on the Douluo Continent. What difference would it make if one more came from the Dou Qi Continent?

As for refining pills for this violent little loli? That was out of the question. Whether she paid him for them or he gave them to her himself, neither was a good idea.

Knowing full well that his pills tasted incredibly bitter, Xiao Xiao still wanted eighty or a hundred of them. That meant she'd definitely planned to eat them like sugar beans.
