"Sister, what are you doing here alone?"
At this moment, a crisp voice came into Li Qinghuang's ears.
When Li Qinghuang turned her head, she saw Lu Linger with twin ponytails and a pair of bright and beautiful eyes.
The little girl was still as cute as ever, carrying a little baby on her back, chewing a chicken leg with oil dripping from her mouth, while asking Li Qinghuang.
Li Qinghuang had a very good impression of Lu Linger.
It can be said that in the entire City God Temple, except for this little girl, no one is willing to take the initiative to talk to her, an "ugly girl". But Lu Linger is different. Not only is she Lu Fan's biological sister, but she also takes the initiative to call herself sister every time.
"I just finished my work and I'm free now."
Li Qinghuang said to Lu Ling'er while washing her hands.
"Then I'll play with my sister." Lu Linger suddenly said with a smile.
"Accompany me? Why?"
Li Qinghuang felt a little curious.
"Because I saw that other people didn't want to talk to my sister, so I wanted to play with her." Lu Linger was innocent by nature and spoke frankly.
Li Qinghuang felt warm in her heart when she heard this.
She didn't expect that the little girl in front of her would be so kind to her.
"Thank you!" Li Qinghuang said sincerely.
"Hey, you're welcome, sister. Here you go."
As the little girl spoke, she took out a piece of cake from her cloth bag and handed it to Li Qinghuang.
Li Qinghuang looked at the pastry and felt warmer in her heart. She reached out to take it.
"Little sister, what's your name?" Li Qinghuang asked.
"My name is Lu Ling'er, and my brother's name is Lu Fan." Lu Ling'er said.
Upon hearing this, Li Qinghuang couldn't help but mutter to himself: So the handsome young master is called Lu Fan.
"Thank you, Sister Ling'er, for giving me the cake. I'll give you something too."
As Li Qinghuang spoke, he took out a jade pendant from his arms and handed it to Lu Linger.
The jade pendant is emerald green.
Fluorescent light flickers.
There is also a word "Phoenix" printed on the jade pendant.
Looking at the jade pendant that Li Qinghuang suddenly handed over, Lu Linger blinked her eyes and asked, "Sister, what is this?"
"This is a talisman my parents have worn since I was a child. It's for safety. I'm giving it to you!"
As Li Qinghuang spoke, he handed the jade pendant to Lu Linger.
Lu Ling'er, who had lived in Xiaoshi Village since childhood, didn't recognize the jade pendant at all. She just thought it was smooth and beautiful, so she took it and said, "Thank you, sister."
"Sister, your hands are so thin and white..."
Sudden.
The little girl looked at Li Qinghuang's snow-white and slender hand and said.
What's more, although Li Qinghuang took the disguise pill and changed her appearance, her skin and body did not change at all.
Her hands were as slender and graceful as jade onions.
Coupled with her fair skin, such jade hands formed a sharp contrast with her appearance.
When her tied hands were seen, Li Qinghuang quickly retracted them and smiled awkwardly.
However, the eleven-year-old girl didn't care about so many details and started playing with Li Qinghuang.
…
In the cave.
Lu Fan has been studying the Demon-Transforming Pill.
Since this was his first time refining the elixir, Lu Fan had already prepared all the materials, but he was lacking an alchemy furnace.
"Where can I find this alchemy furnace?"
Lu Fan was a little depressed.
"I don't know. Will it have the same effect if I use an ordinary iron pot?"
Lu Fan thought that it was all done by making fire anyway!
An ordinary iron pot should have the same effect as an alchemy furnace.
After thinking about this, Lu Fan used the iron pot in the cave that he used to cook to try to make the elixir.
He prepared the herbs needed for the Demon-Transforming Pill one by one, then lit a fire and started boiling the pot.
After putting the herbs into the iron pot one by one, Lu Fan started to make a fire.
After a while, black steam came out of the iron pot.
The smoke is extremely pungent...
When Lu Fan smelled it, tears and snot started flowing.
"Damn it! It smells so bad... No, no, I can't practice in this cave anymore!"
He felt uncomfortable because of the choking and stopped immediately, not daring to refine it anymore.
after all.
The demon-transforming pills he refined all contained poisonous ingredients.
Lu Fan was afraid that he would poison himself to death before the elixir was ready.
After stopping to refine the elixir, Lu Linger came running in from outside.
"Brother, what are you doing? Why are you so choking?"
As soon as Lu Linger ran in, she pinched her nose and said.
Lu Fan quickly stood up with a smile and said, "It's okay, it's okay. I'm learning how to make pills!"
Lu Linger didn't know what alchemy was. After saying "Oh", she ran into the cave to play alone.
"Huh? Ling'er, what are you holding in your hand?"
Sudden.
Lu Fan noticed that there was a shiny jade pendant in Lu Linger's hand and couldn't help but walk over.
"Are you talking about this? This is a gift from my sister." Lu Linger said as she shook the jade pendant in her hand towards Lu Fan.
"Ling'er, let me see."
"OK."
Lu Linger then handed the jade pendant to Lu Fan.
After Lu Fan took it, he was shocked.
The jade pendant in front of me was emerald green all over and shone brightly. It was obviously a treasure of great value.
Lu Fan had heard Huang Bairong say before that this jade was an extremely precious treasure.
Precious things like this are usually only owned by rich and powerful people.
But now, how come Ling'er has such a valuable thing in her hand?
Moreover, there is a word "Phoenix" engraved on it?
"Ling'er, which sister gave this to you?" Lu Fan asked quickly.
Lu Linger said, "It's the sister with the scar on her face."
"Hmm? Ah Chou?"
Lu Fan suddenly thought of Li Qinghuang's ugly appearance.
But that's not right!
How could that woman, wearing shabby clothes and being bullied, have such a valuable item on her? And give it to Ling'er?
"Ling'er, tell your brother, did she ask you for anything when she gave you this jade pendant?" Lu Fan asked quickly.
"No! That sister is so nice. Not only does she play with me, she also teaches me how to fold paper cranes! Brother, look, isn't the paper crane I folded beautiful?"
As Lu Linger spoke, she picked up the small paper crane that she and Li Qinghuang had folded today.
Looking at the exquisite little paper crane in Lu Ling'er's hand, Lu Fan felt more and more strange.
After returning the jade pendant to his sister, Lu Fan fell into deep thought.
Before, he thought that Li Qinghuang was a little weirdly ugly...
Now seeing that she actually gave her sister such a valuable thing and even taught her how to fold paper cranes, Lu Fan couldn't help but become more curious.
"No, I have to see what that woman's intentions are!"
After thinking about this, Lu Fan prepared to secretly investigate Li Qinghuang.
