Becoming a wet nurse is not the end of the story.

After listening to the alchemist's words, the man who had removed his armor and was now dressed in dark blue casual clothes breathed a sigh of relief. The deadline for his mission was drawing ever closer, but the essential potions were still nowhere to be found.

Now that's good, I can finally go and complete the mission smoothly. Thinking this, I followed Farna to the door of Lin Xueyin's studio. After a gentle knock, the door was opened, and we went inside. Mocking voices rang out again from outside. There were even some gloating voices that echoed throughout the hall. Even some non-alchemists already knew about this overconfident little girl.

Volume Two, Academy Chapter Twenty-Nine: This Unscientific Development

"Master Yusu, take a look at these potions I made. Are they up to standard?" The two masters were horrified to see the bottles and jars of potions casually placed on the table.

"Little girl, slow down, slow down." He stared fascinated at the potions that shone with perfect luster, rubbing them with his hands and even pressing his face against them, as if trying to feel the power of the dragon within.

Just a moment ago, they were supposed to be moving quietly and speaking softly, but now everything has changed. The two old men are getting louder and louder, and more and more agitated, as if they might start fighting at the slightest provocation.

Just when Lin Xueyin was powerless to deal with the two somewhat crazy old people, she heard a childish voice, and the group fell silent for a moment.

"Ah, Li'er, you're awake? Sorry, we were a bit loud. Did we wake you up?" Gently patted the two little girls' heads, who were still rubbing their eyes.

"Xueyin-jie, what happened? Why is it so noisy?"

Seeing Kali'er's pouting lips and rubbing eyes, Lin Xueyin seemed to have flipped a switch and once again gave her little head a loving rub.

"Um, Xueyin-nee, don't do that, it'll mess up your hair and make it hard to fix."

The two little girls angrily prepared to escape Lin Xueyin's clutches, but amidst her silvery laughter, they let out sounds of resentment.

A beautiful young girl kept ruffling the long hair of two little girls with pigtails, which temporarily calmed the two old men down.

"Xueyin, stop fooling around and tell us how you did it."

"Oh, I see..."

Before the words were finished, the studio door was pushed open forcefully, and as the light from outside shone into the room, an annoying sound rang in the ears of the people inside.

“Master Lin Xueyin, I heard that you have successfully prepared the potion, so I brought the person who issued the mission here to take a look.”

The uninvited guest, Farna, walked into the studio so brazenly. Those behind him who witnessed this knew they were being used as pawns. Unfortunately, the die was cast, and they had no choice but to act.

Looking at Lin Xueyin, who seemed a little flustered (because she had been having too much fun with the two little girls, she had ended up looking like a little madwoman), he felt guilty. In his eyes, she was just embarrassed because she hadn't done her job properly yet.

"What, aren't you going to take out the medicine? Or are you just too surprised to see us?"

"Falna, don't go too far. This is Yukine's mission, not yours. She can hand it in whenever she wants. What do you mean by bringing the person who issued the mission here? When did you become the one to interfere with the work of other alchemy masters?"

"Haha, not at all. I just heard that Master Lin had prepared the medicine, so I just called her employer over so she wouldn't have to call someone herself."

"Oh, thank you so much." Lin Xueyin neatly arranged the medicine on the table under the increasingly serious gazes of the crowd.

The three bottles of Dragon Power Potion contain two perfect-grade potions, while the 20 bottles of Antidote Potion contain a whopping 16 perfect-grade potions.

Kurad stared at the potions before him, swallowing hard. This was something he never dared to dream of—perfect-grade potions, perfect-grade antidotes! He had come here with the hope of nothing, but instead, he had received such a wonderful surprise.

Just as he was about to retrieve the potions that had excited him, he was forcefully pushed aside, followed by sounds of horror, resentment, and disbelief.

"This is impossible, absolutely impossible. How could she have done this? How could she have done this? How could she..."

Even with all his disbelief, the sight of those bottles of potion gleaming with a blinding light, those colors that once filled him with excitement, now chilled him to the bone.

"Lin Xueyin, tell me, where did you buy this, and who bought it for you?"

The huge emotional contrast left Farna at a loss, and he even began to suspect that the two old men were buying medicine for Lin Xueyin to help her through this difficult time.

As for Lin Xueyin preparing them herself, how could that be possible? At such a young age, she could prepare so many perfect potions, even the Dragon Power potion that she herself couldn't prepare. Heh, that's absolutely impossible.

"Falna, I won't say anything about you leading people to break into the alchemist's workshop without permission, but what evidence do you have for accusing Lin Xueyin of purchasing potions to complete a mission?"

"Evidence? What evidence do we need? Look at this woman. She doesn't seem like the type to create the Dragon Power Potion, nor does she seem like the type to create so many perfect antidotes."

Pointing to herself in confusion, Lin Xueyin felt innocent. In this day and age, does the success rate of alchemy depend on looks? Or is the correct way to do it that the success rate is inversely proportional to looks?

Of course, Lin Xueyin wasn't the only one who was confused; Kurad, who had always thought Lin Xueyin was an old woman, was also stunned. He never expected her to be a beautiful and lovely young girl, and she was even much younger than him.

"It's unbelievable that heroes emerge from among the young; he has achieved so much at such a young age."

"Impossible! You absolutely cannot be fooled by her. She's a liar, a big liar..."

The unacceptable reality, especially the feeling of having a sure thing slip away, caused Farna to temporarily lose his mind and even begin to launch personal attacks against Lin Xueyin.

"Tell me the truth, did you buy the potion? Did these two old men... did they buy it for you?"

She said she could understand, but dragging two innocent elderly people into it made Lin Xueyin very angry. Just as she was about to retort, she heard Kolida speak up.

"You said these are the potions Lin Xueyin bought, so you need to buy these perfect-grade potions for me in less than a day, not counting the Dragon Power."

Speechless and at a loss for words, Farna wanted to say that she certainly knew that it could be bought in this spire, but if she really bought it, there would always be traces left behind.

However, with so many people watching, how could she possibly buy it? Besides, she had already ordered people to keep an eye on her the whole time yesterday, and she hadn't seen her come out at all.

But what's with this potion? This isn't how things are going. This girl should be kneeling down, crying and begging for forgiveness and help, but everything has changed.

Volume Two: The Academy Chapter Thirty: Lockdark's Visit

Clutching the three bottles of Dragon Power Potion and twenty bottles of Antidote Potion that she had already prepared, Kurad excitedly left the workshop, while two alchemy masters surrounded Lin Xueyin, carefully inquiring about the preparation methods of these potions.

The two little girls, holding the large bag of gold coins that Kurad had given them as payment for their work, chattered excitedly. Everything was so wonderful, except for Farna, who stood on the other side, filled with resentment.

Lin Xueyin, you just wait, you just wait. Touching his face, which was inexplicably aching, Farna, his face ashen, returned to his studio with his assistant.

"Teacher, why don't we tamper with the medicinal herbs she consumes every day? That way, we can lower her success rate. In the end, little by little, it will definitely have an impact on that hateful woman."

At first glance, this seems like a great idea, but upon closer inspection, it's downright foolish. Who is that? Can't they see by now that the woman named Lin Xueyin is an alchemy master?

Tampering with medicinal herbs is no different from courting death. Even you, let alone her, can feel subtle changes when you touch the elements contained in the herbs. If you tamper with them, well, you might get yourself killed.

After glaring at his incompetent and useless assistant, Farna had no choice but to seek out his allies.

Time flew by. Lin Xueyin took her two little girls out for a big meal, then bought them some clothes they needed before returning to the spire of the magic tower. She and her girls stayed in a suite that wasn't too big, but it wasn't too small either.

Inside the inner room was a rather luxurious bed, while in the small suite outside, there was also a simple double bed. The minimalist decor carried a touch of warmth.

"Lier, Shaer, you two would look beautiful in this dress."

I handed two dark-colored Gothic Lolita-style outfits to the two little girls. I bought them new and pretty clothes and satisfied my own desires at the same time. Perfect! I can give myself a thumbs up for my wisdom.

"Sister Xueyin, isn't this pretty?" Her red pupils held a hint of shyness, and as her petite, supple body slowly turned, a pair of snow-white and slender legs dazzled Lin Xueyin's eyes.

Lin Xueyin gently placed the gorgeous headdresses on their heads and decisively turned her face to the side. That's right, if she looked any longer, she would really have a heart attack.

"Sister Xueyin, aren't we pretty?" A pair of bright eyes looked pitifully at the girl who had turned her head to the side. Her gaze was as clear and pure as water, just like a beautiful diamond.

"Beautiful, gorgeous, of course it's gorgeous."

They all felt their tongues were spinning a bit. Lin Xueyin stared at the two little girls dressed in gorgeous Lolita outfits, her eyes glued to them.

Just as Kaliel and Kashael smiled at each other, they heard a soft knock on the door.

"Excuse me, is Miss Lin Xueyin here?"

There was a somewhat unfamiliar voice, yet it seemed familiar. Lin Xueyin tilted her head, thought for a moment, and guessed that the person had come to ask her to prepare the medicine.

"You two, stop fooling around. We have a customer coming to our door, hurry up and get over there... Li'er, why are you pulling me?"

Seeing the warning in her eyes, Lin Xueyin was a little confused and couldn't figure out what was going on. However, seeing that Kasha'er also looked wary, she didn't say or do anything more. She just watched the two of them.

Kalier gracefully approached the door and softly said, "Sister Xueyin is resting and won't be helping anyone prepare potions for the time being."

“I am Lockdak from Pankor. I have come here specifically to visit Miss Lin. Please open the door. We have brought her some gifts.”

That's right, the person who came was Lockdak, who had met Lin Xueyin once before, and was also the heir of an imperial duke who was the most active in pursuing Lin Xueyin at the time.

Upon hearing the name, Kaliel and Kashael showed no surprise, as if they already knew it, while Lin Xueyin exclaimed in surprise.

"Xueyin-jie, are you happy to hear that your suitor has arrived?"

For some reason, Lin Xueyin suddenly felt as if saying the wrong thing would lead to terrible consequences. She shook her head and patted the other person's head with her delicate hand, a gentle smile on her face.

"Lier, you're talking nonsense again. I'm not familiar with him. I just don't know why he came here to visit me."

Seeing that Kaliel was about to say something, he continued, "Alright, he's a guest from afar, so let's not do anything impolite. After all, the person outside is also an heir to a duke's throne, so let him in."

Although she was very dissatisfied with the answer, Kalier still pouted, stepped aside, and watched Lin Xueyin open the door.

"I had just heard that Miss Lin was an alchemy master and hadn't had a chance to congratulate her when I heard that you had already completed the Dragon Power Potion and become a well-deserved alchemy master."

"Um, thank you, but there's really nothing to congratulate me on."

"Of course not. Being a high-ranking priest is already quite noble. Adding the status of an alchemy master makes your status even more incomparably noble."

He exaggerated his shock, which elicited a light, charming laugh from Lin Xueyin, and caused the two little girls beside him to pout unhappily. "That silly woman's voice!"

"These must be your two assistants. I've brought them some gifts as an apology for my disrespect towards them back then."

With a wave of his hand, a follower behind him placed two boxes in the hands of two little girls.

"This is a type of fructose unique to our Pankos territory. It's very delicious and children love it. Of course, there's also some silk. I've already given it to Amara Trading Company. They'll send someone here tomorrow to make a few clothes for you."

"Eh? This, this won't do. I can't accept this reward without having done anything right."

He waved his hands repeatedly to express his refusal, but then he heard Lockdak say something.

“This isn’t just for you, it’s for both of them too, Miss Lin. You can’t let them still be wearing these coarse linen clothes.”

Lin Xueyin looked at the Gothic Lolita outfits she had bought for them. They were clearly very cute, so why did he describe them as coarse linen clothes?

The conversation was somewhat dampened by this remark. Lockdak noticed Lin Xueyin's absent-mindedness and wisely chose to leave.

"In a few days, the orc prince from the Northern Orc Alliance will be coming to the academy. I would like to ask Miss Lin to be my dance partner at the welcome party."

"Party? Dance partner? Forget about that, I probably won't have time to go."

I was just about to say, "Don't even think about it," but then I realized that since I'd already taken their things, it wouldn't be very polite to refuse them now, so I chose to decline in a more tactful way.

Volume Two: The Academy Chapter Thirty-One: A Small Gift for Arya

Leaving her two twin sisters, who looked like abandoned kittens, at home, Lin Xueyin took her small bag and went to the place she had arranged to meet Ailiya.

Not far away, two figures loomed larger in her eyes. A familiar smile and another aloof face made Lin Xueyin feel a surge of warmth, but...

"Irabelle, what brings you here?"

Irabel gave a slight twitch of her lips, her usual aloofness only growing more dangerous in Lin Xueyin's eyes. It seemed that her recent situation was making her feel insecure. Perhaps she should consider letting Aria stay with her for a few days.

When I was living with her, everything was safe. But maybe it's because I've been too tired and have too much to do these days, and I need someone reliable to help me out.

"Uh, no, Irabelle, I mean, shouldn't you be studying at the magic academy right now? What are you doing here?"
