She opened her terminal and sent a pre-paid spell order to Jiang Kehan.
"Then I'll send a suitable spatial spell, but in order not to affect our agreement, I can only send one that is unrelated to combat."
Jiang Kehan took a deep breath and couldn't help rub her eyes to make sure she wasn't seeing things.
This is the portable space I've always dreamed of!!!
The personal space can be expanded infinitely by consuming magic power, and is not limited to maintaining magic power; it is quite valuable.
Wow, this is way too expensive.
Jiang Kehan was about to decline when Li Hui grabbed her hand and pulled her outside.
"Let's go, let's get to the intensive training. You can think about these little things when your mind is clear."
Ai Li'er, with ill intent, pushed Jiang Kehan along, and said with a grin, "Yes, why wouldn't you take advantage of a rich person for the New Year? Just accept it."
Jiang Kehan looked helpless and swallowed her words, but kept them all in her heart.
Chapter 91: Saturday Alone Time (Part 2)
It was still early morning when Jiang Kehan walked down the street of Worry-Free Island with dark circles under her eyes, looking a little dazed.
Hehehe, special training... Hehehe, special training.
Recalling the grueling training sessions of the past few days, Jiang Kehan felt terrible.
Her mind was filled with replays of her own death, and she finally understood why the two men had looked at her with a hint of pity before the special training.
They're not human, none of them are human!
In her understanding, dying multiple times meant a clean and swift death, like the one she faced off against Li Hui.
But unexpectedly, those two were born with the noble idea that close combat must be ingrained in one's instincts to be effective.
Pain is the most effective way to trigger instinctive memories.
As a result, Jiang Kehan was like a dough being kneaded, with no part of her body untouched by the beatings, making her doubt whether she was still alive.
Ouch, she couldn't help but rub her shoulder, feeling a phantom pain lingering over her.
No, I absolutely have to treat myself to a good meal today. How come my life is getting worse and worse?
She carefully blew a breath onto her shoulder, as if trying to blow away the pain.
But in reality, Jiang Kehan herself is the one who is the harshest on herself.
She voluntarily compressed her rest time during special training to the extreme, and never admitted defeat until she could no longer muster any strength or utter a single murmur, only then would she willingly accept death, which represented defeat.
This made Li Hui and Ai Li'er take notice, which is why the two of them forcibly kicked her out to rest for two days.
When this girl goes crazy, she really doesn't value her own life.
Coincidentally, today is Saturday, the time when Jiang Kehan had agreed to learn the Alchemist's Laws with Qingxue. Jiang Kehan also needed to refine her first batch of potions, so she naturally came to the Alchemy Workshop.
Pushing open the door, it was very quiet inside.
Qingran leaned against the wall that rippled like dripping water, holding a half-meter-long quill pen in her right hand and supporting the book with her left, turning the pages with the tip of the pen.
The ladylike dress was still as graceful as ever, but the hem fell to the ground, revealing a bit of her snow-white thighs.
Sigh, when will I be able to be as elegant and approachable as Qingran?
She couldn't help but stand on her tiptoes, trying to grow taller, but unfortunately, she couldn't manage it.
"Hehe, Miss Qingran, I've come to keep my promise." She waved to Qingran with a bright smile.
Hearing the voice that had made her daughter seem somewhat lost lately, Qingran gently patted her skirt, stood up, and looked both surprised and slightly resentful.
"Miss Jiang, why haven't you come to visit me lately? Don't you think Qingxue and I are worth your time?"
Her eyes sparkled with a hint of coquettishness, yet remained remarkably dignified, without appearing wanton.
Wow, I believe it now. Some people are born to be monsters who bring ruin to a country. This temperament and figure are enough to turn any normal girl gay!
Jiang Kehan only cares about her career. She's not uninterested just because the other person is already a mother, humph!
She's still straight, straight!
Sigh, Jiang Kehan didn't know why she felt guilty, but that didn't matter. What mattered was that she was there to make money.
"I've been quite busy lately, please forgive me, but I've come as promised, haven't I?" She smiled and addressed Qingran, "By the way, is Miss Qingxue here? I still need her help to refine the self-reading potion."
"I just wanted you to spend more time with Qingxue," Qingran replied, seeing that Jiang Kehan was sensible, and let her off the hook. Her expression softened, and she answered with a hint of apology.
"I've already called her back. Sigh, this girl just runs around aimlessly and doesn't even know how to be considerate of me."
Well, considering the witch's age, you probably have a similar mentality to your daughter, and you could easily take on ten of her with one hand.
Jiang Kehan wiped the cold sweat from her forehead and dared not utter a sound. Talking about age in front of a woman would get you punched, and even a glare could be a punch!
She waited there, and soon she heard the sound of hurried footsteps.
Qingxue pressed her hat down hard, pushed open the door somewhat impatiently, and looked around.
Upon seeing Jiang Kehan, her expression showed obvious joy, but she didn't know what to say. She simply walked softly to Jiang Kehan's side and took the corner of her clothes.
"Did Kehan come to see me?" Her eyes sparkled, making Jiang Kehan feel a little reluctant.
"Yes, I'm really looking forward to studying with you." Jiang Kehan subtly concealed her true intentions, patted Qingxue's head, and looked at her with a smile.
Perhaps it was because the other person was a little shorter than her, or perhaps the other person was really younger than her, but she treated Qingxue like a younger sister.
Hehe, feeling the warmth transmitted through her hair, Qingxue easily overlooked other inaccuracies and accepted Jiang Kehan's explanation.
"Yes, I'm looking forward to it too!"
She grabbed Jiang Kehan and ran towards her alchemy room, waving back at Qingran and speaking excitedly.
"Mom, remember to prepare some ice cream and fruit. We're going inside to make the potion first!"
Once I finish the training, Kehan will have more time to spend with me, she thought.
Qingran shook her head as she watched the two being so intimate, a smile playing on her lips.
Sigh, this good-for-nothing little girl has learned to order people around now, that's really... great.
She was happy to see Qingxue becoming more and more cheerful. In the past, Qingxue was like a little hedgehog hiding in the shadows, first distancing herself and then resisting.
Qingran covered her cheek with one hand, a hint of nostalgia in her eyes, and turned to go to Gulinfang to buy desserts.
On the second floor, watching Qingxue let go of her hand and get into work mode, Jiang Kehan also became serious.
Alchemy is a very serious matter. The only consequence of being careless when performing alchemy is that you'd better pray that the explosion won't kill you instantly, otherwise the debt of forced resurrection will be enough to make your life miserable.
The two worked together very well, and they gradually developed a tacit understanding that allowed them to know each other's thoughts with just a glance, although this understanding was limited to alchemy.
Soon, the materials Qingran had collected were completely refined, yielding a little over 12 bottles of the product.
Jiang Kehan took two bottles from the bottle and gave the rest to Qingxue.
"Well, according to our agreement, 20% of the potions will be sold to you first, and the rest will be considered as my consignment sales here."
After putting away the potion, Jiang Kehan looked at Qingxue with a slight smile and extended an invitation.
"However, I have recently accumulated quite a few questions about the laws of alchemy. Could Master Qingxue please answer them for me?"
This is the truth. After being reminded by Anthony, Jiang Kehan was shocked to discover that there were actually many secrets hidden beneath the lighthearted descriptions in this book.
For example, in the first volume, "What is Alchemy?", the author's considerations about alchemy are subtly expressed.
Alchemy is not a tool or means; it is the witch's way of combining her inner strength with magical power to begin changing the world.
If the Great Witch forcefully uses power to correct and overturn the world, then alchemy represents change; it uses the world's original rules to create new things.
And this is the key question: why did you get involved in alchemy in the first place?
Different philosophies can lead to different alchemical techniques; for example, Antony embarked on the path of a curio restorer.
Jiang Kehan also fell into thought. Her understanding of alchemy was that it was a miracle of coincidence.
She shared her doubts with Qingxue, which also made Qingxue think.
"My alchemy courses didn't teach me this, but I can assure you it's absolutely true." Qingxue nodded with an air of mastery, sharing her experience.
"For example, after I entered A2, I could clearly feel that I had shown a completely different talent in a certain area, a talent that I did not have before."
Looking back now, I think it was probably around that time that I solidified my beliefs.
Jiang Kehan smacked her lips and began to reflect on why she had gotten involved in alchemy.
Initially, it was for money, but after she created the self-reading potion, she had a different feeling. For her, alchemy was more like a form of communication.
And the means of communicating with oneself and the world.
Yes, this is it!
Jiang Kehan suddenly realized something, she slapped her palm, and her eyes lit up.
"I understand, thank you for reminding me, Qingxue!" She smiled at Qingxue, making the other woman turn her head away, her face slightly flushed.
"No, it's nothing. I was just sharing my opinion, and Kehan has more to say than just this!"
Qingxue couldn't help but put her hands on her hips, her little face beaming with pride. Being able to work was something she was very happy about.
Besides, the person he was helping was Jiang Kehan, his friend!
Through this back-and-forth questioning, the two gained insights from each other, and the distance between them gradually diminished.
What's more fortunate than having a friend is having a friend who shares the same hobby.
When Qingran came in carrying the tray, this was the scene she saw.
The two sat at the desk, with a book in front of Jiang Kehan. Qingxue's left hand reached over Jiang Kehan's right hand and slipped between Jiang Kehan's hands as she flipped through the book, while she kept talking to Jiang Kehan.
Jiang Kehan would occasionally frown, then suddenly realize something and express her thoughts, prompting Qingxue to ponder as well, gaining some insights.
"Hey, are you thirsty? I bought some fruit and snacks." Qingran frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed her brows and greeted the two who were engrossed in studying.
When the two came to their senses, they realized that Qingran had been standing there for a while. Jiang Kehan felt a little embarrassed to have kept Qingran waiting for so long.
But Qingxue, with a perfectly justified air, started to whine and say, "I want chocolate ice cream!"
Qingran placed the food in front of the two of them and couldn't help but say, "Then you two can eat slowly. But Qingxue, do you still remember what you promised me?"
Qingxue paused in her smile, suddenly remembering what her mother had said to her when she called her over.
"Xiaoxue, you must remember that you are friends, and only friends. For the witch, you have enough time to get to know each other, rather than blindly getting close for a moment."
