Wen Qingye quickly looked toward the Pill Furnace and saw the Wood Leaf Essence inside begin to boil. He hurriedly tossed in the Crescent Fruit. The moment it entered, the fruit slowly melted into a pool of liquid and fused with the essence.
The fusion process seemed normal, without any major errors.
Seeing this, Wen Qingye breathed a sigh of relief. He quickly covered the Pill Furnace and turned his eyes to Xiaxia.
"Master, I..." Xiaxia said with a pitiful look on her face, "I've never had a Crescent Fruit before. I just wanted to see what it tasted like."
"Alright, alright," Wen Qingye said, waving his hand. In the end, he couldn't bring himself to scold her.
Xiaxia grinned. "Master, I definitely won't do it again. Even if I do eat one, I'll tell you beforehand."
Wen Qingye tapped Xiaxia on the head. "You're still thinking about a 'next time'? I'm never letting you watch over the ingredients again, lest you steal what you're supposed to be guarding."
