Zi Yan's Delight

Seeing Zi Yan, who only reached his waist, fail to pat his shoulder and settle for patting his thigh instead, Xiao Yang nearly burst out laughing.

But he held it in.

Zi Yan's appearance wasn't off-putting at all. On the contrary, she looked rather adorable, creating quite a contrast.

Xiao Yang instinctively rubbed her head.

"Fine. Come find me whenever you want something to eat."

"I can also help refine those medicinal herbs of yours. Eating them raw must taste awful, right?"

Zi Yan puffed out her cheeks and slapped Xiao Yang's hand away in displeasure.

"Don't touch my head! What if I can't grow any taller?!"

"You're an alchemist?"

Hearing Zi Yan's question, Xiao Yang said with a helpless laugh.

"Didn't I tell you I'm an elder of the Alchemy Department? How could I not know how to refine pills?"

Hearing Xiao Yang's words, Zi Yan's little face reddened.

She had been too busy eating Xiao Yang's roasted meat to listen to what he had said.

Now that she learned Xiao Yang was actually an elder of the Alchemy Department, Zi Yan began examining him curiously.

Seeing how young Xiao Yang looked, a trace of suspicion flashed through Zi Yan's eyes.

"Can you really refine pills?"

"You look so young. Even if you started learning alchemy in the womb, you couldn't possibly have such impressive alchemy skills by now, could you?"

"Are you related to Fire Old Man or something?"

Xiao Yang rolled his eyes and replied irritably.

"Why don't you take a look at yourself before talking about me?"

"You look like this, yet you have the strength of a Dou Wang. What's wrong with my alchemy being a little better?"

When she heard that Xiao Yang could see through her cultivation, surprise flashed across Zi Yan's face.
