Chapter 149: Improvements (1/2)

Alex slowly opened his drowsy eyes as he felt something wet around his body. ”What?” he asked through his sleep as tried to stand up. Suddenly, his leg slipped on something as he submerged into the liquid once more.

He was now underwater and desperately tried to get back up. Once he came out of the water, he was fully awake. He immediately looked around, sending his spiritual sense to look at the different things.

He found himself in a small room with a small pond-like bath inside of it. ”Where…” he looked around confused.

Suddenly, the door to the room opened and Wen Cheng walked in. ”Oh thank god it's all clean now,” he said as he walked in.

”Master, where am I?” he asked. He was still trying to recollect what the last thing that happened was. Only then did he finally remember the unbearable pain he had to go through once more.

He shuddered as he remembered the pain and asked, ”Why didn't you stop Pearl master? It hurts so much.” He actually felt like crying from all the memory of the pain.

Wen Cheng looked a little guilty as he said, ”Get out of the bath and change into these clothes here.” He brought out a set of inner sect robes and pants.

He also took out a bunch of storage bags and kept them on the robe. ”You have quite a few storage bags. Do alchemists always need so many?”

Alex was surprised when he saw that. 'Did he check inside?' He was worried his master would find all the ingredients and talismans he found from the corpse. He didn't want to explain that right now.

Alex quickly walked out of the clean bath and changed into his robes. Following Wen Cheng, he walked out of the room.

”I had to change the bath 3 times because of how much filth was on your body.” Wen Cheng's face seemed disgusted at the thought of this filth.

Alex got surprised a little. 'It can't be that I sh*t myself due to all the pain, can it?' he started to fear this thought more than anything now.

Wen Cheng walked out of the building, back into the training hall with Alex in tow. Alex looked at the outside and was surprised. 'It's already day?'. He quickly checked the time and was stunned to find out that it was past 10 am already.

”What?” he shouted out loud.

”What's wrong?” Wen Cheng looked back.

”Oh, nothing master. I was just surprised at how late it was.”

”Yes, you were unconscious for quite a while. I was about to go get a healer if you didn't wake up in the next 2 hours.”
