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

"Ha, if not here, where else would we go?"

Hmmmm, did they come here on gunpowder? Lin Xueyin shrugged innocently, deciding it was best not to say anything more, as the more she said, the more wrong she would become.

As if realizing that her words had been a bit too harsh, Irabell softened her tone. "I was planning to go to the Spire to find you, and I ran into Aria. She said you asked her out, so I'll wait for you here."

Seeing Lin Xueyin's expression of understanding, Irabel changed the subject, "Xueyin, if I hadn't gone to find you, would you have never asked me out?"

"Huh?" How am I supposed to answer this question? This is a chance to boost my favorability, but I don't have any options. Damn it! If I had options, based on my years of gaming experience, I could definitely get full marks.

As for what games, nonsense! Aren't games like "The Wolf on the Tram," "Walking Behind," and so on enough to enrich one's mind and purify one's soul?

"What's wrong? Can't you speak?"

Under Irabel's unusually aggressive questioning, Lin Xueyin appeared somewhat flustered. At this moment, Ailiya, on the contrary, showed composure and magnanimity, and generously put her arm around Lin Xueyin's shoulder, saying...

“Your Highness, Xueyin didn’t do it on purpose. She probably wants to see me about something. Knowing her as I do, this girl would never go out if she wanted to stay in her room. So, the only way to get her to make the first move is when she needs something from someone.”

"No, no, I'm not as bad as you say." Lin Xueyin punched Ailiya's ample breasts in annoyance, and sure enough, the familiar softness made her heart flutter.

This expression, however, seemed so jarring to Irabel. Her beautiful eyes quietly watched the girl who had already been labeled in her heart, observing how she continued to recklessly test the limits of danger.

"Alright, alright, but what exactly did you ask me out this time? Don't tell me it was really just to have fun."

"Hmph, here's something good for you." With a mysterious laugh, Lin Xueyin handed over a well-packaged parcel as if she were a thief.

"You? You?" Aria said to Lin Xueyin with a strange laugh.

"I'm not trying to be mean, but with your stingy attitude, you're giving me nice things? I remember back then, when I ate a meal at your house, you always charged me for it."

Whether out of anger or embarrassment, Lin Xueyin, her face flushed, waved her tightly clenched fist at Ailiya, "It's not as bad as you say! Don't I, Lin, have any pride?"

Even the usually aloof Irabelle chuckled, making Lin Xueyin act like a cat with its fur standing on end, waving her little paws at Aria.

"Okay, okay, you're not stingy, you're not stingy."

"Hmph, that's being diligent and thrifty, that's called being frugal. Who's like you, a spendthrift?"

Irabel was also a little helpless with this outspoken girl. She really wanted to touch her long golden hair, but she held back because of her manners.

"Open it and take a look. I think you'll definitely like it."

With a slightly seductive expression, Lin Xueyin gave Ailiya a sly smile, which piqued her curiosity.

"Then I'll open it and take a look..."

Seeing Aria's eyes widen as she looked at the contents of the gift box, Irabel also curiously leaned over and let out a gasp of surprise.

"Xueyin, where did you get this thing? You should know how precious it is."

Precious? Tilting her head, as if she didn't quite understand the word, she blinked her eyes cutely. "Well, I made this myself. Someone provided the materials, and I made five bottles. I discussed it with them and took two bottles as part of the commission."

"This is a Dragon Power Potion, which even alchemy masters would find difficult to make. You actually made five bottles, Xueyin. Tell me the truth, where did you get them?"

"Ugh, you don't believe me." She looked at Aria, who had a serious expression, with a wronged expression. Seeing that Aria was still unmoved, she stomped her foot angrily.

"Why don't you go inside the Spire and ask around? Everyone knows I made this potion there. Why don't you go ask them?"

Seeing that Lin Xueyin was a little angry, Ailiya softened her serious expression. "I was just worried about you, little girl. Even in the homes of some large noble families, this kind of potion is extremely valuable."

"Hmph, that's no reason for you not to trust me."

"Yes, yes, I was wrong, okay? I'll take you to eat noodles later, alright?"

"Hmph, that's more like it." Although she understood that the other person was also worried about her taking something she shouldn't have, which would put her in a very passive position in the future, it was still very hurtful to be suspected by her good friend.

Reluctantly choosing to forgive this woman, Lin Xueyin certainly wouldn't let her off so easily. At the very least, she'd let her stay at her place for a few days and be her bed warmer.

"Aria, it's a deal. You're coming to help me out these next few days, so these two bottles of Dragon Power Potion aren't just for free."

"I knew you wouldn't kindly give me anything, but not these next few days. In a few days, the prince of the Orc Alliance will be here for exchanges, and as a representative of the Warrior Academy, I will have to fight against him."

"Huh? You want to fight those orcs? No way, absolutely not. Let's not even talk about the natural power difference between humans and orcs, let alone the fact that you're fighting those orc men. No way, what if you get injured?"

"You silly girl, even if you're injured, you're still here. This time, it's your turn to protect me, okay?" He placed his hand on Lin Xueyin's chest, in front of Irabel's increasingly pale face, and in doing so, he obtained her promise.

Volume Two, Academy Chapter Thirty-Two: The Arrival of the Prince

After giving the Dragon Power Potion to Aria, Irabel's intense gaze put her under immense pressure, leaving her with no choice but to give her a mana restoration potion later.

This satisfied her. However, she hadn't received a quest for the mana restoration potion yet. When she would receive it depended on when someone asked her to make the potion.

Of course, the Alchemy Guild doesn't just rely on other people's quests to survive; at least I know that some alchemists have their own herb-gathering teams.

They sent these teams into forests and secret realms to search for medicinal herbs. Then, they would use the raw materials they provided to concoct potions. In return, they would earn money, which would then be split equally between the two sides. If a team needed a potion, these alchemists would also make it for them free of charge.

This model can be described as a win-win situation. In fact, the Alchemy Guild itself has dozens of such teams to assist them in collecting materials.

Mana restoration potions aren't exactly high-level potions, but making a perfect one isn't easy either. Sitting at her desk, Lin Xueyin pouted and tapped her head with a pen.

"Hmm, if I go to get the materials alone, I'm afraid I'll get scolded again. That Farna is really annoying. It's just the materials for two mana recovery potions, why is he hiding them like treasure?"

She was a little annoyed, but the other party was completely within the rules, so Lin Xueyin could only vent her frustrations in her studio and couldn't continue.

"Sister Xueyin, are you in a bad mood?"

With her adorable eyes blinking, Kaliel rested her hands on the table, swaying her little head from side to side as she looked at the girl in front of her who had been spacing out since she came in that morning, muttering something to herself.

"Was my expression very obvious?" Lin Xueyin touched her face, seemingly surprised that the other party had seen through her.

"...Not obvious."

"Not obvious? If it wasn't obvious, why were you silent just now? Do you think I'm stupid?"

Seeing the other person's forced laugh, Lin Xueyin rolled her eyes at her before continuing to rethink Irabel's potion problem.

Seeing Lin Xueyin revert to her previous absent-minded state, he chuckled mischievously and waved his hand in front of her, saying something before she could utter her irritating words.

"Sister Xueyin, His Highness the Prince is here. He said he has something to discuss with you and has been waiting for you at the door for quite some time."

He opened his mouth, but before he could utter any insults, he swallowed them all back. He stood up in a fluster, and seeing the two little girls watching the show with amusement, he was furious.

"Why didn't you tell me sooner? It's not good to keep His Highness waiting."

The current emperor has only one son and one daughter. It's obvious to anyone that this prince is destined to be the future emperor. Making him wait outside the door is no different from sending yourself to prison in the future.

"Hey, Xueyin-jie, why are you in such a hurry? Didn't the prince say that he didn't want us to disturb your thinking? He said he was waiting for you outside so as not to interrupt your train of thought."

To be honest, upon hearing this, Lin Xueyin felt a sense of relief and a touch of emotion. At least, this Crown Prince of the Empire wasn't so arrogant as to be ready to make things difficult for her at any time.

Upon opening the door, he saw the Crown Prince of the Empire, Ikux Allens, who had been waiting for him. He was still as elegant as he had been before, and there was not a trace of dissatisfaction on his face despite the long wait.

His warm smile, framed by his impeccably styled blond hair, made him even more approachable. His white military uniform further accentuated his resolute and upright bearing.

This feeling of distance yet closeness gradually calmed Lin Xueyin's previous tension.

"Your Highness, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

"It's nothing, I just came here to ask you to make some potions for me."

As soon as Lin Xueyin led him into the studio, he got straight to the point and explained his purpose. It seems that this crown prince of the empire is very different from the nobles before him.

"These are the materials I've prepared. I need you to make 10 high-grade mana restoration potions and 3 holy protection potions for me. Is there a problem with that?"

Looking at the materials for 20 mana recovery potions and 10 holy protection potions, Lin Xueyin said there was no problem at all. With these materials, she could make even more potions.

And that's not the main point. The main point is that, according to regulations, any potions made from these materials that exceed the required specifications can belong to the alchemist. So, by this calculation, I can earn quite a few potions again.

"You two, quickly sort these materials and put them away." Only then did Lin Xueyin belatedly realize that the prince hadn't brought any bundles, so these materials...

"You can tell, this is a spatial ring. Although the storage space inside isn't large, it can still hold some alchemical materials."

He raised his left hand, and a ring gleaming with silver light appeared in his pupils on his index finger.

It's unbelievable that this prince is still unmarried. I can't understand how those socialites could let go of this eligible bachelor and let him stay single for so long.

Of course, this wasn't his main concern. Ikux didn't stay there for long. He said he needed to prepare for the visit of the orc prince from the Northern Orc Alliance and then hurriedly left.

The remaining materials were carefully sorted by Lin Xueyin and the Kalier sisters to prepare for today's work. Little did they know that after Ikux left, he went to the palace and met the Emperor, their father, who was waiting for them there.

"Father, I've already put all the materials there, but Father, are you sure you really want to do that?"

"Of course, some of those materials can harm the demons. We can't let any potential dangers go unchecked before the Beastman Alliance arrives. If it weren't for your sister, I might have chosen to temporarily place her under house arrest."

"Father, I think that girl should be fine..."

“My son, you are not in my position now, but I still hope that you can take your place as soon as possible so that you can better take over the entire empire. You will eventually be crowned king.”

"I understand, but what if it turns out we wronged her...?"

"Isn't that perfect? ​​We can give her the extra medicinal herbs. I think she won't realize that it was a test from us, if she's not a demon."

With a loving smile, he uttered words that even his own son found somewhat chilling. Unbeknownst to him, the other party had already fallen into the trap set by his father, and even afterwards, he would probably be grateful to him for those medicinal herbs.

"I understand, Father. I will remember this well."

He looked at his son with satisfaction. He had the benevolence of an emperor, but he lacked the decisiveness to kill. It seemed that the child still needed some training.

"Go back. We'll talk about Lin Xueyin's matter after the results are out. Remember to have your sister go and visit her when she has time."

Volume Two: The Academy Chapter Thirty-Three: A Temptation on the Edge of Death

Kaliel and Kashael were injured. Yes, they were injured. As Lin Xueyin's assistants, they were accidentally burned by some holy medicinal materials while helping her move the potion materials that Prince Ikux had sent over.

"I'm sorry, Xueyin-neechan, we're so useless." The two little girls, their delicate arms bandaged, lowered their heads in shame, tears welling in their eyes, yet they dared not face the gentle girl who had offered them fruit.

"Alright, you didn't do it on purpose. Take a couple of days off. I'm not busy here anyway, it's fine."

As the other person gently stroked her hair, Kaliel was still filled with guilt. As an assistant, she not only couldn't help, but she always held everyone back.

"Don't cry, but I really didn't know you would be burned by these herbs."

"We didn't mean to. Who knew that some holy medicine would be mixed in? We don't need those holy protection potions. We are human-demon hybrids."

Lin Xueyin knew this, but she didn't know that they would have conflicts with some medicinal materials. Fortunately, they were mixed-race and their injuries were not serious. They only needed to rest for a few days.

"Sister Xueyin, we..."

"Alright, you two get some rest. I'll cook for you for the next few days, okay? Hey, what's with that look on your faces? My cooking is really good; I don't usually cook for just anyone."

"Yes, yes, we know, it's our honor, is that alright?"

Gritting his teeth, he looked at the two little girls who were clearly just going through the motions, and he felt an urge to rip off their skirts and give them a good beating on their private parts.

However, just one malicious glance made him realize that he had been acting somewhat wicked lately, especially when facing two innocent little girls. How could he be so cruel?
