Chapter 277: Itchy Philtrum
Chapter 277: Itchy Philtrum
"Benefactor, beware!"
Yan Jinan's pupils shrank sharply and he subconsciously tried to dodge, but found that his body could not move at all.
At this critical moment, a thin silver light flashed and nailed the black shadow to the ground.
"Zizzizi..."
The insect's blood instantly corroded a large hole in the ground, and the air was filled with an unpleasant smell of decay, making people feel nauseous.
Yan Jinan looked in the direction of the silver light with a startled look. He saw a young man in white sitting on the windowsill with a folding fan in his hand and a gentle smile on his face.
"It must have taken a lot of effort to cultivate a poisonous insect that can paralyze nerves, right?"
Zhang Shenying put away the poisonous insect corpse with a painful look on his face, and then said with disgust: "Another nosy guy!"
"Yeah, not only am I going to mind my own business, I'm also going to make you...fly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a thick green vine rose from the ground, instantly wrapped around Zhang Shenying's body, and then threw it hard.
“Ahhhhh!! You two just wait for me, Young Master. I, Zhang Shenying, will definitely come back!!!”
His figure completely disappeared into the horizon. Bai Sinan shrugged his shoulders and jumped directly from the second floor. He landed lightly in front of Yan Jinan without raising any dust.
"My name is Yan Jinan, thank you for saving my life."
He bowed to Bai Sinan very politely.
The woman behind him saw that she was finally saved, and she bowed to the two men leisurely and said, "My daughter Hua Lingyue, thank you two gentlemen for saving my life."
The soft and gentle voice makes people want to protect it.
Yan Jinan's cheeks suddenly turned red, and she turned around, only then did she see the face that she had not been able to see clearly just now because of the rush.
She has a pair of big, bright almond-shaped eyes, her skin is as white as jade, and her lips are as tender as cherries.
Her light blue skirt was embroidered with blooming lotus flowers, her black hair was tied up into a simple bun, and a green hairpin was inserted diagonally on the top of her head, making her look even more beautiful and refined.
"No, you're welcome... Hehe... Miss Hua, you're really pretty..."
Yan Jinan laughed like a pervert. Bai Sinan poked his arm with the handle of his fan speechlessly and whispered, "Brother Yan, your saliva is about to flow out."
"Ah... ah?"
Yan Jinan suddenly came to his senses and quickly wiped the corners of his mouth with his sleeve.
Hua Lingyue smiled softly, without any hint of disdain: "Lingyue thanks you for the compliment, you are also very handsome."
"Really?" Yan Jinan's eyes sparkled. This was the first time a girl praised him for his good looks.
"Of course, your facial features are very delicate. If you lose weight, you will definitely be a handsome and elegant gentleman." Hua Lingyue did not hesitate to praise him.
Yan Jinan's face turned even redder, and he scratched his head, looking a little frustrated: "It's a pity, I'm afraid I won't be able to see what the girl said."
In the spiritual world, there are very few fat people like him. Not only because of the fasting, but also because spiritual cultivation can cleanse the impurities in the body.
The real reason why Yan Jinan was obese was actually because of the fetal poison he had been carrying since his mother’s womb.
Seeing him sad, Hua Lingyue lowered her head apologetically: "I'm sorry, sir, Lingyue accidentally mentioned your sad story. But you look very cute now, I hope you won't be too depressed."
"Hey, it's okay, I'm used to it."
Bai Si Nan now felt like a light bulb, neither staying nor leaving. In the end, he could only cough and said, "Are you two here to participate in the Alchemy Competition?"
Hearing about the Alchemy Competition, Yan Jinan became excited: "Yes, this... uh..."
"Yuebai."
"Oh, Brother Yuebai, are you also an alchemist?"
Bai Si Nan nodded and waved his folding fan with a smile: "Of course, where is this Hua... Miss?"
What do you mean? Why does my philtrum feel itchy?
Hua Lingyue smiled back: "Lingyue is not talented, I just came here to learn from experience."
"Since we're all here to participate in the competition, why don't we all join together!"
Yan Jinan suggested.
"Lingyue is fine."
Bai Sinan glanced at the four people upstairs, then curled his lips and said, "Of course."
At this moment, a tall and thin figure came angrily from a distance: "Yan Jinan! I've been waiting for you for a long time, but you come here and chat with others so happily?!"
Yan Jinan slapped his forehead and said, "I was wondering why I seemed to have forgotten something. It turned out to be you."
Cao Wenyu twitched her lips and gave him a slap: "You idiot, I'll beat you up and you'll behave."
Yan Jinan cried out, covered his head and complained: "Can't you give me some face?"
Cao Wenyu glanced at Hua Lingyue standing beside him, and understood what was going on almost instantly. He raised his eyebrows and said, "The Alchemy Competition will start in one hour. Let's go to the central square first."
"Well, let's go."
Yan Jinan had only walked a few steps when he suddenly stopped and turned back to ask, "By the way, Brother Yuebai, I remember there should be more than one person upstairs, right?"
"Well, they are just guards. They will catch up. Let's go first." Bai Sinan's voice was calm and naturally no one doubted him.
The group arrived at the central square.
At that time, the place was already crowded with people.
Because Cao Wenyu was tall, she quickly found her spot in the crowd to register for the competition.
"Hello, sign up for the Alchemy Competition."
The man said without even looking up: "Those who have an alchemist ID card, give it to them. Those who don't have one, tell us your name and level of alchemist."
Everyone readily took out their ID cards and quickly entered their information.
Cao Wenyu——Fifth-rank Dan Zun.
Yan Jinan——a sixth-rank alchemist.
Yuebai——a sixth-rank alchemist.
Yan Jinan looked at Bai Sinan in shock: "Brother Yuebai, I didn't expect that you are a sixth-grade alchemist like me!"
Bai Sinan smiled and nodded without saying anything.
Because she didn't go to the Alchemist Guild for certification, Yue Bai has always been a sixth-grade alchemist. But Bai Si Nan is now a real sixth-grade alchemist.
Hua Lingyue was the last one to hand over her ID card.
Hua Lingyue——Fifth-rank Dan Zun.
"Wow, a fifth-grade Dan Zun, Miss Hua, you were too modest before."
"No, I am far inferior to you." Hua Lingyue's eyes curved: "Young Master, just call me Lingyue. Miss Hua always feels a little weird and unfamiliar."
"Okay, then Lingyue, don't call me Young Master. I'm probably older than you, so just call me Brother Yan."
"Brother Yan, you are so shameless. You take advantage of the girl." Cao Wenyu complained speechlessly.
"What's going on?"
Yan Jinan retorted confidently: "A gentleman is easy to please a beautiful lady!"
"..."
Could this guy be a little more shameless to even say something like this?
Bai Sinan rolled his eyes helplessly and was too lazy to say anything. The atmosphere became a little awkward for a moment.
Fortunately, the Alchemy Competition officially began not long after.
"This Alchemy Competition is divided into three rounds. The first round is to refine the Huiyuan Pill. Each person has only one chance, and the time limit is one stick of incense."
As the judges announced the rules in a loud voice, a row of alchemy furnaces were neatly placed on the square behind them, and the medicinal materials needed to refine the elixir were prepared on the table next to them.
"All alchemists, please find your corresponding position according to your registration number to make the elixir. Now, the competition begins!"
After that, the participating alchemists rushed to the square to find their own alchemy furnaces. After all, it was very difficult to refine a five-star high-level elixir in the time of an incense stick, so they had to race against time.
Bai Sinan mingled in the crowd, seemingly anxious but actually searching calmly.
Even if he found it, he pretended not to see it and walked around for several times before walking leisurely to his own alchemy cauldron to start refining the elixir.
At that time, more than half of the alchemists had already entered the alchemy state. Those who were lucky enough had already begun to refine the medicine liquid.
Bai Sinan's movements were smooth and flowing, without any fancy moves, and combined with his handsome face, it was truly pleasing to the eye.
Therefore, he quickly attracted everyone's attention.
"Who is that boy?"
"I don't know, but it's a nice look."
"Yes, and with such smooth movements, it's obvious that he's an expert in alchemy. I wonder what his strange fire will look like."
As soon as he finished speaking, Bai Sinan released the strange fire.
What disappointed everyone was that this strange fire was just an ordinary monster flame and there was nothing special about it.
