Seeing the reaction that Li Mei was giving, Han Yu was highly pleased.
He leaned against the wooden doorframe, folding his arms smugly. "I know. Hard to believe, right? I didn't think I'd get so lucky with the double yields either. And the purity bonus was a nice surprise."
Li Mei's brows twitched. Her voice remained cool, but it was clear she was forcing it.
"Well… I suppose you didn't completely waste my teachings."
Han Yu tilted his head. "Come now, no words of praise? No 'you're doing well, my brilliant student' or 'Han Yu, you're a genius'? No reward for my toil?"
Li Mei looked up at him and gave him a sweet smile.
"You want a reward?"
"Yes," Han Yu said, puffing up.
With the grace of a queen, Li Mei raised her palm and flicked him squarely on the forehead with spiritual force.
Thwack!
Han Yu recoiled, clutching his skull. "Ow! You're gonna give me a soul injury!"
Li Mei rolled her eyes. "You did well. Happy?"
