136 The Two Illusionists (2/2)

Xia Lian suppressed her laugh on seeing his appearance and praised him generously ” You did well. If you work diligently, I will teach you the art of poison concoction and recipes of various medicines.”

” hehe.. Thanks master. You are so generous..” Bolin buttered up Xia Lian, while the latter's lips twitched in amusement. She spoke in a voice tinged with laughter ” I am not so generous. Now, take these herbs and draw out the liquid essence from them.” she handed over the ground herbs to him.

” Yes, master..” Bolin's voice was filled with reverence which made Xia Lian's ears go red from embarrassment. Bolin naturally noticed this and he could not help but think that his master is cute. Then again, he noticed the dragon ornament on her shoulder. He noticed it the first time he saw this tiny doctor and he was intrigued by it. He remained silent as it was rude to ask a person about such things. But now they are in a master-student relationship. So, he felt that he can ask this question to sate his curiosity.

” Erm.. Master..” Bolin cleared his throat awkwardly.

” What is it?” Xia Lian did not think much as she knew that this fellow is always curious, and she did not hate it as it was a good trait which most students are lacking nowadays.

” What is the story behind the dragon ornament on your shoulder?”

Now, this question caught Xia Lian off guard. She did not expect this question out of the blue. She tilted her head to look at the dragon head which is resting peacefully on her shoulder.

” It's a simple ornament which caught my eye.” Xia Lian then placed her hands on her hips and questioned the tomato standing before her ” Aren't I looking good?”

Bolin very seriously nodded his head ” Yes, master. You look absolutely stunning.” Xia Lian had a smug smile on her face as she was openly gloating about the compliment she received.

Bohai who just entered the room was rendered speechless on seeing this comical scene. He stared at Xia Lian who was dressed in simple and wrinkled black robes. Her hair resembled a birds nest.

How in the world can one describe this appearance as stunning? He then stared at himself, if doctor Wu is stunning in that pathetic appearance then he can call himself as an ethereal beauty. Shaking his head in a helpless manner, he just placed the pills on the table and retreated from the room filled with illusionists. He didn't want to become like them.

” Chirp..” Xia Lian's ears perked up on hearing the birdie chirp. She tilted her head only to find a blue bird similar to her Bubba standing on the window with a paper tied to it's leg. Yes, she named her messenger bird Bubba.

The flirty prince sent her a message ah! Xia Lian was in a particularly good mood today. So, she happily sprinted towards the bird and opened the seal to read the message. But the huge grin was immediately replaced with a furious expression as she read the message. This prince is seriously lacking a beating!
