She counted on her fingers, carefully working out the dates, and realized she would have to stay in Cloud Capital City for another twenty-odd days before returning to the Royal Academy.
The Female Lead would soon be competing. After the preliminaries came the semifinals, and only then could they fight for the top three places.
The Medicine Department and Alchemy Department would finish earlier, since their competitions only took a single day.
"Love Blossom, didn't the pharmacist judge say the winning team would receive an unexpected grand prize? How about I give you the prize when the time comes?"
Dongfang Minghui chatted with Love Blossom, who had been unusually quiet lately, barely showing any energy. Toothless, on the other hand, often sneaked out of her space while she was busy to provoke Love Blossom.
The flower and the beast fought every day until one of them was battered and bedraggled. Of course, the bedraggled one was always Toothless.
Dongfang Minghui was curious, too. Why was Toothless just as hopeless in combat as she was? A little beast actually couldn't beat a flower.
"No need. Just remember what you promised me."
The moment that came up, she wilted. The Blood Fiend Alliance wasn't exactly an easy place to break into, and the Love Blossom they had bought at auction surely had some purpose. Who knew? By the time she finally managed to get inside, that flower might already be gone.
But even if she told Love Blossom that, Love Blossom would still insist.
Tsk. That obsession was downright frightening.
Dongfang Minghui pulled Toothless straight out of her space and washed the little beast in a small basin.
As soon as Toothless came out, the little beast scratched at her arm, then took her finger into its mouth, licking and nibbling it.
