The Hehuan Sect cultivates alchemy; my senior sister helps me refine alchemy throughout the world.

Ao Ying's breathing became rapid, because Shen Yifei's words had put her in a dilemma.

If you believe Shen Yifei, you're just jumping into his trap! If you don't believe him, what if what he says is true?

She had asked Shen Yifei to remove her veil today, and after returning home, she thought about it over and over all day.

According to the rules of the dragon race, only the future husband can remove the veil. She didn't know what came over her at the time, but she agreed as if possessed.

She didn't utter a single word of the excuse she had prepared beforehand. At that moment, she even had a sliver of hope that Shen Yifei would remove her veil.

Her father once told her that when she was a child, a wise man had told her that when she grew up, she would marry a powerful demon.

How could a dragon marry a demon?

This is a joke, a huge joke.

To this day, only her father and she know about this; her father hasn't even told her mother.

In fact, she understood her father's intentions: he wanted her to be careful not to get close to demons when she was traveling among humans.

Seeing that Ao Ying had been silent for a long time, Shen Yifei was in no hurry to urge her. This news needed time to be digested.

After a long pause, Ao Ying asked Shen Yifei an unexpected question, "Sect Leader Shen, what benefit will you gain from telling me this news?"

Shen Yifei's answer surprised Ao Ying: "Miss Ao, Ao Ting has erotic dreams every night, and I had someone do it!"

Ao Ying nodded, "I guessed that, otherwise I wouldn't have invited you."

"Miss Ao, without this accident, I wouldn't have discovered the poison in Ao Ting's body."

"Hehe, you mean I should thank you for your kindness?" Ao Ying's hands were a little itchy.

"I didn't mean any harm; I was doing it for myself."

"For yourself?"

"Miss Ao, think about it. Now everyone knows I cured Ao Ting's illness, and you've guessed it was me who set this up. If something happens to Ao Ting in the next few days, who will be the prime suspect? It'll be me! Everyone will suspect me!"

Ao Ying nodded. According to this logic, Shen Yifei was right, and he had no reason to continue deceiving himself.

Shen Yifei noticed that Ao Ying's eyes had softened, and he knew that she was beginning to believe what he had said.

He continued, "I don't want to take the blame. If Ao Ting dies, I'll be the first to suffer. As his second sister, you also bear responsibility for what happened to him in Binhai City. We're in this together now, you have to trust me."

"Young Master Shen, what do you suggest we do?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Yifei knew that Ao Ying had come to believe him.

"Miss Ao, I'm refining an elixir now. You can give it to Ao Ting tonight. As for who poisoned him, I think as long as Ao Ting ensures the Dragon City event goes smoothly, the poisoner will be exposed soon!"

After saying that, he removed the barrier and summoned the Myriad Things Cauldron directly in front of Ao Ying.

When the little monster saw Ao Ying, its little tail stood up straight, and its two eyes stared at her lecherously.

Ao Ying saw the cauldron that had been used to refine the weapons of the Wanjian Villa masters up close and subconsciously took a few steps back.

Shen Yifei didn't say much. He stuffed all the medicinal herbs into the second alchemy chamber inside the cauldron, infused them with spiritual energy, and started refining!

After a short while, the lid was opened, and the elixir was released.

A top-grade pill with flowing runes on its surface appeared before Ao Ying.

Ao Ying also had some knowledge of elixirs. The Dragon Palace also had specialized alchemists, and it was common for a batch of elixirs to take three days and three nights to refine.

The one in front of me, however, didn't even light a fire. He just stuffed the medicinal herbs in, and in the time it takes to drink half a cup of tea, it was ready. And it was top-quality stuff.

"Young Master Shen, you..." Ao Ying didn't know how to describe it, "You've moved way too fast!"

"Oh, there's no rush. Normally, I can manage in a day or two."

Shen Yifei handed the pill to Ao Ying. After Ao Ying took it, she smelled it and a rich medicinal fragrance wafted over her, making her feel refreshed.

"Can this medicine really cure the poison in my brother's body?"

"No!" Shen Yifei answered decisively. "We can only suppress the effects of the poison! If the detoxification is too rapid, the poisoner might have other methods. We must catch this person to prevent future trouble!"

Ao Ying wholeheartedly agreed with Shen Yifei's remarks. She found that this man was sometimes unreliable, sometimes far-sighted, and mature and steady in his actions.

She bowed to Shen Yifei, "Fortunately, I met you, Young Master Shen. I'll go back now and give Ao Ting his medicine. Young Master Shen, if there's anything I can do to help you, please don't hesitate to ask."

"Miss Ao, you're too kind. Look, we're not strangers now. If it were just the two of us, could you please remove your veil? I've already seen what you look like. Like now..."

Before Shen Yifei could finish speaking, Ao Ying removed her veil.

Shen Yifei was stunned again.

"Fool, haven't you seen enough?"

"No, not yet... I... I could never get enough of looking at it in my entire life!"

Hearing Shen Yifei flirting with her, Ao Ying blushed slightly, quickly put on her veil, and turned to leave.

Shen Yifei instinctively grabbed her hand.

Ao Ying's hands are slender and soft, and they feel very comfortable to hold.

The moment Ao Ying's hand was grasped, she didn't pull away, but simply asked softly, "Young Master Shen, is there anything else?"

Shen Yifei then realized what he had done, quickly released his grip, and scratched his head somewhat awkwardly. "Um... Miss Ao, I wanted to tell you to be careful of the people around you!"

Ao Ying gave a soft "hmm" and then pushed open the door to leave.

Liu Mengli floated out. "Master, why are you so timid tonight? You only shook hands once. This isn't like you at all."

"You don't understand. She's a dragon, not some small sect. If things go wrong, she might become an enemy of the entire dragon race."

"Master, I admire the way you lie with such righteous indignation and a straight face."

"Where did I lie?"

"Leng Rushuang's Xuanbing Palace is powerful, isn't it? She still got into bed with you, didn't she? Gu Yunyan is amazing, isn't she? She forced you to undress her with your top-grade demonic energy. Those two vixens used to be very strong, but now you've slept with them..."

"Stop... halt! My dear aunt, don't try to give me that summary. Before, it was all about mutual benefit and taking advantage of each other; this is different!"

"Hmph, what's the difference? Master, do you want me to transform into the Second Princess tonight? You can try it out tonight."

"Come on, you're currently recovering your physical body. Xinghe said you're not allowed to engage in dual cultivation. Listen to me, go back and get some rest!"

"Master, what's wrong? You're already starting to dislike me? You've tried it before!"

"I'm doing this for your own good!"

Xinghe cried out from inside the cauldron, "Sister Mengli, you have to believe me! If you cultivate dual cultivation now, your physical body will take several years to recover!"

Hearing Xinghe's warning, Liu Mengli had no choice but to give up.

For the next few days, Shen Yifei didn't go out. He focused on refining various top-quality items, waiting for Dragon City to open.

Dragon Market is the most important event of the year for the Dragon Clan.

Normally, dragons and humans rarely interact, and the annual Dragon Market is basically the only opportunity for them to communicate and exchange goods.

Ao Ting was in charge of organizing and preparing for this year's Long City event.
