Severin exhaled heavily as he prepared to refine the pill. He was working on a relatively straightforward third-grade high-rank pill that required more materials than third-grade medium-rank pills.He failed midway through his first attempt, and the difficulty was naturally far greater than that of a third-grade medium-rank pill. However, he was not that concerned over those setbacks thanks to his ample supply of materials.The second attempt failed too, but there was some measure of progress. The occurred much later in the alchemical process, and Severin exclaimed, "Not bad! I'm already making this much progress on the second try! Haha! From the looks of it, I should be able to master this successfully by tomorrow morning at the latest."Having sensed the notable improvement, Severin gained confidence and persisted in his refining efforts. Daybreak came, and by the eleventh refining attempt, Severin was already sweating profusely."Rise!" he exclaimed. A smile soon appeared on his
Sofia blushed after hearing that comment and felt like burying her head in the sand like an ostrich.Sofia rolled her eyes at Sheila and said, "Is it okay if you avoid bringing that up again in the future? It's mortifying."Sheila replied nonchalantly, "What's there to be mortified about? If you like someone, then the best thing you can do is go for them. You managed to win his heart in the end, didn't you?"Severin could not help but feel a mix of amusement and exasperation at Sheila's candidness. Sofia could not suppress her laughter either, but as she smiled, a thought crossed her mind and she added, "Perhaps Miss Stephanie has found her way here? You spent quite some time together with her in the foggy forest, and you also joined forces with her to deal with the Devil Gang.""It's possible, but could it be Stephanie? She did mention that she would be away for a mission, and she might drop by here with the excuse of meeting an old friend," Sheila speculated enthusiastically.
Elsa's face lit up with joy. She immediately made a respectful gesture and said, "Thank you very much, master. I appreciate it."Sheila grinned playfully and remarked teasingly, "Your apprentice is a beautiful woman. How do you feel about having such a beauty as your apprentice?"Severin was momentarily taken aback as he responded, "How do I feel about it? Hmm. Her mental energy is very strong, so it's highly likely that she has a natural talent for alchemy. I hope she lives up to her potential when it comes to terms of comprehending the subtleties of this field."Diane smiled. She approached Elsa and said, "You came at the right time. Had you arrived tomorrow, you'd probably have to wait a while for us to return because we'd be making our way to Littleton already.""Littleton? What are you doing there?" Elsa frowned. She did not seem unfamiliar with that, so it appeared that she already knew a thing or two about Littleton. It was only after Diane explained that they were going to
In the evening, Severin's family took Elsa to a large restaurant for a celebration. They also introduced Elsa to the Shanahans, as well as the many hall masters.The next morning, Severin shared his alchemy knowledge and several recipes with Elsa. Once that was all done, he—along with Sofia, Sheila, and Diane—soared into the distance on his flying sword."It feels amazing to ride a flying sword. It's so much faster than flying without any support," Sheila remarked as she gazed down.Diane felt the cool breeze around her and added, "I had no idea something so powerful would exist in this world. It all feels like a dream."Severin smiled and replied, "It's pretty slow, if you ask me. There's no need to rush since we're traveling together. Let's just enjoy the scenery along the journey."Diane chuckled. "It's my first time on your flying sword, and it's also Sheila's first time. We probably would have a hard time getting used to it if you go too fast, and we might even get uneasy."
As they landed on the street, Sheila could not contain her excitement and exclaimed, "Wow, there are so many people here! Look at all those beautiful women. Some of them are even shopping in bikinis! I bet a certain someone must be really happy today!"Severin did not know whether to laugh or cry. "I have enough beautiful women by my side. Why should I be interested in all these women?"Sofia joined in and teased. "Relax. We don't mind you looking at them. None of us are the jealous type anyway."Severin then suggested, "Let's find a place to stay. Once we settle in, we can go shopping and grab something to eat."“Look at all those homestays. There are about twenty of them here, and they look like wonderful places to stay in!” Sheila spotted a row of pretty hoses with well-curated courtyards. It was a very pleasant atmosphere. Diane and Sofia seemed interested when they looked in the direction that Sheila was pointing at."Let's go for that one then!" Severin smiled as he led them
Sofia offered. "Why don't I share a room with Diane, and you two can share a room?"Sheila replied a little awkwardly. "I think Diane should be the one who shares a room with Severin, while you and I can stay with Sofia."Diane quickly chimed in. "On the contrary, Sofia should be the one sharing a room with Severin, while Sheila and I will stay together."Severin's expression became serious when she saw all three of them debate over who should stay with Severin. "Are you all that afraid of sharing a room with me? What am I, a monster?"The remark elicited laughter from all three of them. Sheila cocked an eyebrow and said playfully, "Yes. It's partly because of that. Anyone who sleeps with you might not get any sleep at all."Sofia added with a grin. "Yes. You're a monster, and it's quite scary, to be frank."After thinking for a moment, Diane suggested, "How about all three of us share a room and you can sleep alone?"Severin made a sad face. "That's so cruel of you."After som
Lydia gave their request some consideration and said, "Sure, if Mister Adrian doesn't tell you to leave. But if Mister Adrian doesn't want outsiders to be around, then you should get out of there. I'll have you know that even Mister Hamzah doesn't dare to offend him.""Understood!" The two men looked at each other and smiled sneakily. They were both feeling secretly happy. After all, they had to stop themselves from drooling when they laid eyes on either of the three women earlier. It would be even more arousing if they could watch the women take off their clothes and reveal their nude bodies.Better yet, the man with them was obviously in a relationship with all three of them. He would no doubt have some sexy time when them during their stay at the homestay. The men were ecstatic and looking forward to watching a live show.Lydia extracted some footage and immediately went to Adrian's place. Adrian was sitting in the yard of his villa with a beautiful woman in his arms. He was savo
"I promise that at least one of them will catch your eye!" Lydia eagerly raised her hand to assure him.Adrian switched on the phone and began watching the video. A young man and three young beauties appeared on the screen, and Adrian was taken aback when he laid eyes on the women. Upon closer inspection, he exclaimed, "Wow, they're all beautiful! One is cute and sexy, another is gentle and demure, and the third is just smoking hot. Three distinctively beautiful women all in a small group. Bloody hell! Do beautiful women like flocking together like birds or something? That guy is such a lucky stud."The captivating video came to an abrupt end just as he was beginning to feel aroused. Bewildered, his expression soured and he asked Lydia, "Why did you only record such a short segment? These three beauties are amazing, but there's isn't any footage of them in their room!" Adrian was pleased with the women's beauty, but the shortness of the video left him somewhat dissatisfied.After se
