Reborn Fairy Wife Takes Me on a Gaggle-Fire rampage

Chapter 221 The Elixir is Complete

Just as Su Yun was concentrating on refining the elixir, Mu Chen returned.

As soon as he stepped into the room, he saw Lu Yao sleeping soundly on the sofa, with Xiao Hei lying beside her, while Su Yun was busy in the alchemy room. He looked puzzled, completely unaware of what had happened.

Noticing Mu Chen's arrival, Su Yun quickly stopped what he was doing and hurried out of the alchemy room, panting as he explained the whole story to Mu Chen. He recounted in detail how Lu Yao was injured in the battle with the black bear spirit, and how Lu Zhen was still lying in the cave in urgent need of treatment. After listening, Mu Chen frowned, a hint of worry in his eyes.

Mu Chen was well aware of the difficulty and importance of the refining process. After a brief moment's thought, he decided to take over the remaining work of refining the pills. He had extensive experience in alchemy and was thoroughly familiar with the properties of various medicinal herbs and the techniques involved. Mu Chen went to the alchemy platform, carefully observing the fusion of the medicinal herbs within the furnace. He then adjusted the heat, skillfully manipulating his spiritual energy to ensure the medicinal properties were better integrated.

Su Yun strode back to the spacious living room, his gaze quickly sweeping around before he noticed that Lu Yao had slowly woken up. Lu Yao was leaning against the soft sofa, her eyes still somewhat dazed, clearly not yet fully recovered from her previous exhaustion and pain.

Su Yun's lips curled into a gentle smile as she softly said, "Go take a shower first and relax." She turned and walked to the wardrobe, opening the door and carefully selecting clean clothes. Her movements were practiced and meticulous, as if handling a precious treasure. In no time, she had chosen an outfit suitable for Lu Yao.

Su Yun took the clothes back to Lu Yao's side and gently handed them to Lu Yao, her eyes full of concern.

Lu Yao's journey was fraught with peril, causing her not only physical injuries but also immense emotional stress. Even so, her heart remained with her brother. She frowned, her voice tinged with anxiety and worry: "Has my brother's medicine been successfully prepared yet?" Her eyes revealed a deep longing for her brother, as if the success of his medicine would resolve all the difficulties.

Seeing Lu Yao's worried expression, Su Yun felt a pang of heartache. She gently patted Lu Yao's shoulder, her tone firm yet tender: "Don't worry, it's already being refined in the furnace." Her eyes revealed confidence and composure, as if everything was under his control. "You yourself are seriously injured, so you should rest and recuperate. The medicine will take some time to heal." Her words were like a reassuring pill, gradually calming Lu Yao's anxious heart.

Hearing Su Yun's words, Lu Yao's worries eased slightly. She nodded and said softly, "That's good, that's good." Her voice carried a hint of weariness, but even more so, it reflected her trust in Su Yun.

She knew that with Su Yun around, her brother's medicine would definitely be successfully refined.

Looking at Lu Yao's weak appearance, Su Yun secretly vowed to refine the elixir as soon as possible to cure Lu Yao's illness and help Lu Yao recover his health. She helped Lu Yao to his feet and said gently, "Go take a bath first, and then rest well."

In the spacious and elegantly furnished living room, Su Yun felt as if all her strength had been drained away, sinking limply into the soft sofa. Her body leaned back slightly, her head resting against the backrest, her eyes closed, but her brows still furrowed slightly, as if she couldn't fully relax even when resting. Lately, it had felt like an endless battle for her, with a flood of complex matters rushing towards her, leaving her no time to catch her breath.

Her hand gently rested on her slightly protruding belly, and a tender smile unconsciously appeared on her face. The baby inside her was like a little angel sent from heaven, exceptionally well-behaved, never mischievous or adding any extra burden when she was busy. It was as if the baby also knew its mother's hard work, staying quietly in her womb, silently accompanying her with its tiny strength.

At this moment, Mu Chen strode into the living room with steady steps. A flicker of heartache crossed his deep eyes when he saw Su Yun's slightly haggard appearance. He quickly went to Su Yun's side, gently sat down beside her, and softly took her hand that was resting on her stomach. "Su Su, you should go to sleep first," Mu Chen's voice was low and gentle, as if possessing a magical power to dispel Su Yun's fatigue. "I'll have Aunt Hu clean up the upstairs so Lu Yao can stay there for now."

Su Yun slowly opened her eyes, her gaze somewhat unfocused, clearly exhausted. Hearing Mu Chen's words, the corners of her mouth turned up slightly, revealing a weak yet grateful smile. "Okay, I thank you on Lu Yao's behalf." As she spoke, she reached out her other hand to wipe the fine beads of sweat from her forehead. The sweat slid down her cheeks, as if telling the story of the hardships she had endured during this time.

Su Yun seemed to be possessed by the god of sleep lately; the moment she closed her eyes, it was as if she had fallen into an endless dreamland, instantly drifting into a sweet slumber. She leaned against Mu Chen's shoulder, and after a short while, her breathing became even and deep, clearly indicating she had fallen asleep. Mu Chen looked at the sleeping Su Yun in his arms, his eyes filled with doting affection and tenderness. He carefully picked her up, walked lightly upstairs, placed her on the soft bed in the bedroom, tucked her in, and then gently turned and left.

Time flies like an arrow, and about half a month has passed. In the alchemy room filled with a mysterious aura, Su Yun looked at the pills emitting a strange light in the furnace before him, his eyes filled with joy. After working day and night for this period of time, consuming countless precious medicinal herbs and energy, he had finally succeeded in refining the pills he had dreamed of.

Su Yun carefully put the pill into the jade bottle, then hurriedly took the jade bottle to Lu Yao's room.

Su Yun smiled and waved his hand, saying, "Lu Yao, the pill is ready."

Lu Yao stood up, took a deep breath, and said, "Miss Su, now that the pills are ready, I must return to the Northern Wilderness immediately. If you need anything in the future, please feel free to send someone to the Northern Wilderness to find me." After saying that, she bowed to Su Yun and Mu Chen, then turned and strode towards the door.

Su Yun and Mu Chen stood at the door, watching Lu Yao's departing figure until it disappeared at the end of the road in the distance. Mu Chen gently put his arm around Su Yun's shoulder and said, "Su Su, Lu Yao's brother will wake up." Su Yun leaned against Mu Chen's chest and whispered, "No matter when we meet again, I just hope that his journey to the Northern Wilderness goes smoothly."
