Chapter 390 “A Unusual Teacher and Student Relationship (1)”

This woman has always been very wary of me ever since we met, but now for the first time ever she’s willing to fall asleep peacefully in my presence. A longing to freeze this moment suddenly grips the man’s heart that he didn’t want to move.

But just when Di Cang wanted to reach out his hand to caress that mesmerizing face to satiate his emotions, he suddenly stopped. From those eyes of his was a complicated light that he couldn’t remove.

Minutes later where only one remains in this room, that’s when Bai Yan slowly opened her eyes.

“Mistress,” turning over from his comfy spot on the bed, Little Rice lazily stretches his paws like a proper feline, “I think this Di Cang isn’t so bad after all. At least he didn’t take advantage of your opening to gobble you up.”

Likely irritated by that careless statement, Bai Yan narrows in on the baby white tiger and tosses the bad kitty out the window. “Go to Xiachen’s side and protect him. If anything happens cry out for me immediately.”

She didn’t know why but her heart’s been feeling restless lately as if something bad will occur soon….

As for the poor baby tiger who just lost his bedding, he wasn’t doing so bad. Landing paws down first despite making multiple somersaults in the air, Little Rice only needed to shake his head a couple of times to regain his composure for his little dash for the kid’s room.

“I better go back to the Holy Land in the next couple of days. I just hope nothing happens during this period.” Instead of being calmed by the fact that there’s a little guard around her son, it only made that sense of unease even worse for some reason.

BANG!!

But before she can return to her sleep for the night, a sudden explosion from somewhere else had rocked her entire room. Due to the intensity of this blast, not only did the cups in her room shatter due to the force, she can actually feel the hot air blasting into her face despite not even being at the epicentre.

Once again, her eyes narrowed in again but with a very dangerous light this time.

……

Meanwhile over at the treasury room of the Lan House, Qiu Shu Rong (Third Elder) was currently eyeing the ruined furnace with tense anxiety in his old heart.

I’m done for, I blew up the entire place…..

“Be strong,” Zheng Qi (First Elder) pitifully pats his younger brother on the shoulder before turning back to the members of the Lan House, “Is any of you injured?”

Normally the three would shoo anyone not involved out of the room while they work; however, these people are Bai Yan’s family. Moreover, the Dan pill they are trying to refine this time were something they tried and tested a couple of times prior with success. That’s why they didn’t think Old Three would create such a huge explosion with his little mishap.

“I’m alright, nothing’s wrong,” said the old grandpa who first responded. Though he says that, that tense arm still hasn’t loosened itself around his wife the old madam, “Thank you First Elder for shielding us with your powers. If not for that then we would’ve definitely been injured from that blast.”

Now that only made Zheng Qi (First Elder) even more sad and bitter because this wouldn’t fare well for what’s to come. “This is all our third brother’s fault. Tian Tian ah, we will have to bother you to help us in a bit….”

In fact, the only reason why they would dare attempt a concoction here in the Lan House was because they had full confidence to keep anyone from being injured while they are here. Therefore when the cauldron and furnace exploded due to the Third Elder’s failure, the only part of the blast that did manage to escape their control were some residual shockwave at best in terms of damages.

“Help? What sort of help?” Old Lord Lan was gawking his eyes in utter confusion as he looked towards the three.

But there’s no time for this old grandpa to contemplate the meaning behind those words for the reasoning was right behind him.

“Who did it, who’s the one who made a mistake when practicing alchemy?!” The voice was seething with anger and irritation, thus sending Zheng Qi (First Elder) and his brothers scrambling to get in line like a couple of naughty children facing a drill sergeant.
