Chương 1920: The Pills

Alex arrived at Liao Xumei's house the very next day and walked to the back to find a very nervous Liao Xumei waiting for him.

"You're finally here!"

Liao Xumei sighed and walked toward Alex. "I want to take it back. I can't stand the thought of those ingredients being wasted. Please, I'll get you some other ingredients if you want to practice Alchemy, but I need those ingredients from yesterday back."

Alex paused, looked her in the eyes, and shrugged. "I'm sorry, I already used those. You agreed yesterday that you would give it to me."

Liao Xumei was devastated. "You… used it already?" she asked.

Alex nodded. "That was our agreement," he said.

Liao Xumei felt all her hard work and motivation slip right out of her physical body. There was nothing she wanted more than to just drop to the ground and lie there like a dead person.

"No!" she shouted softly, a low growl escaping her throat. Just like a beast.
