Xiao Bai's eyes narrowed, then she let out a sharp, exaggerated laugh.
"Look at you—telling me I can't take a joke. Who's the stiff one now, hmm?"
"Whatever, I don't care if it's you refining it or a donkey grinding herbs with its hooves, a Hollow Spirit Pill is still a Hollow Spirit Pill. I'll take it. But…" her smile turned sly, "I hate waiting. How long?"
Fang Yuan lifted his hand, counting slowly on his fingers. "One per month. Six months in total."
"That long?" Her lips pursed in displeasure, but she gave it a moment of thought before leaning forward, eyes gleaming.
"At least one per month, fine. But I want an extra because you didn't prepare properly this time and gave me an empty promise. Don't go whining I'm unreasonable. I'm quite generous, you know."
Fang Yuan let out a long sigh, rubbing his temples as though enduring great suffering. "Generous? You? Don't make me laugh. Only a bandit would call extorting an extra pill generosity."
