Chapter 46 - Throwing Herself At Him

This pill was amongst the easiest pills to refine. However, most people were unable to refine pills before they had reached the Innate Realm.

Bai Rouyun took a deep breath and calmed her nerves before she began merging the liquids of the refined herbs.

Very slowly, she took control of all four liquids, something that was only possible because she had a strong soul from before she was reborn. She gradually merged them, always keeping an eye on the balance of the four liquids.

The whole procedure was extremely taxing, and she was not able to take any breaks when she had begun this step, so she had to soldier on.

Sweat was beading on her forehead as she was putting her full focus on the pills. She was also much more alert than usual due to this being her first attempt at concocting pills.

She had always wanted to become an alchemist and had read up on it in the past. Unfortunately, she never had the resources to become one, nor the teacher to teach her what to do.

Now things were different. She had Xiao Jin to help her learn how to become an alchemist, and she had the resources because of the Primal Chaos Pagoda.

After the time it took to brew one cup of tea, the merging of the liquids had become successful, and soon the scent of herbs wafted into the air from within the cauldron.

The pill had been successfully concocted, but it had taken her a very long time, and all she had gotten was a single Qi Returning Pill.

"Xiao Jin, what are the chances of me successfully concocting a Marrow-Cleansing Pill?" Bai Rouyun asked gently as she looked at the small jade-like pill in her hands.

"We will most likely fail nine out of ten times," Xiao Jin answered honestly, but while she wanted to make Bai Rouyun give up the idea of making a Marrow-Cleansing Pill, instead, her answer made her hopeful.

"So, we can actually succeed? In that case, let us try!"

She already had the ingredients needed for the pill, and even more, they were growing on the herb field, so she was not too worried about wasting herbs.

What did worry her, however, was the time limit she had been given. She had to visit the Royal Palace soon alongside Li Moyun, and she wanted to have concocted the pill before then.

She knew it was impossible to consume the pill before she returned home, but just refining it proved to be much more complicated than she had expected.

During the following days, she only came out of their bedchambers when she needed to eat; even sleeping was done within the Primal Chaos Pagoda.

It took her twelve attempts to successfully refine the Marrow-Cleansing Pill. When she succeeded, she instantly told Xiao Bao to pack it up before she left the Primal Chaos Pagoda, went to bed, and fell into a deep slumber.

She did not even notice that a figure was lying by her side, woken up by the sudden movement.

In the last couple of days, Li Moyun had gone to sleep in the bedchambers and slept on the bed with no worries. He knew that Bai Rouyun was busy concocting medicine, and he did not wish to trouble her. Even so, he had to keep up his role as her husband, and thus, he slept in their bed every night.

It was another typical night where he was asleep, but then he was woken up by the sudden movement of someone within the bed, his eyes, which had just opened, did not resemble someone who had just woken up. Instead, it contained some coldness and ruthlessness as he looked around.

However, the coldness vanished when her natural scent wafted into his nose, alongside the heavy scent of herbs.

So it was her. What was she doing here in the middle of the night? He was puzzled, and he became even more puzzled when he saw her walking towards him.

She was tired, her feet were dragging on the ground, and her face was filled with exhaustion.

She laid down on the bed, and by the time she had laid down, she was already asleep, not even noticing that her body had crashed into the arms of another person.

At the same time, Li Moyun was overwhelmed with shock. Bai Rouyun had crashed into his arms, her body was now pressing down on him, and he could feel her breath on his neck. It was simply too ambiguous of a position!

Bai Rouyun was smiling in her sleep, but she was not comfortable with her position and fidgetted about, her movements causing the man underneath her to be troubled.

How was he supposed to react to this? His wife was literally throwing herself at him, but he was not in a position to do anything to her, it was quite a headache.

Grumbling, he readjusted her position a bit and placed her by his side, still keeping her within his embrace, with her head resting on his shoulder.

At this moment in time, he decided not to think anymore, and sleep instead.

A cultivator of his strength did not need to sleep much. Sleep could remove fatigue from his mind and soul, but his soul and spirit would only be fatigued after a hard battle.

He had not battled anyone but still chose to sleep, mainly because he wanted to be together with Bai Rouyun. Even so, he had never expected a situation like this.

Sighing, he went to sleep. He was already quite excited to see what expression she would have on her face when she woke up the following morning.
