Chapter 40 Secret

Chapter 40 Secret

"Ah?!" Xi Yue was startled by Liu Ruxuan: "Miss...are you sure those are Grade 3 Blood Coagulation Pills and Spirit Gathering Pills?"

Liu Ruxuan nodded: "That's right."

"Miss, where...where did you get so many pills? And if you were going to give them as a gift, there's no need to give a whole bottle, is there?" Xi Yue was completely stunned!

"It's nothing. If you want, I have plenty!" Liu Ruxuan stopped and turned to Xiyue.

Xi Yue's mind raced, unable to comprehend the situation: Where did her young mistress get so many grade-three pills? How many would she need to give them away bottle after bottle? Even if Master Gong wanted to pursue her young mistress, would he need to be so extravagant?

"Miss..." Xi Yue was about to say something when Liu Ruxuan interrupted her: "Alright, Xi Yue, I know what you want to ask. Let's go back first, and I'll tell you everything when we get back!"

Xi Yue nodded repeatedly: "Okay! Let's go quickly, Miss!" Xi Yue wanted to know too much, and in her haste, she forgot about the difference in status between herself and Liu Ruxuan. She took Liu Ruxuan's hand and walked back.

The cries of a newborn broke the tense atmosphere, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The midwife, her hands covered in blood, came out to announce, "Congratulations, Your Highness Prince Jin! The princess has given birth to a prince, and both mother and child are safe!"

"Good! Good! Steward Zhou, reward them!" Chu Yin breathed a long sigh of relief; finally, mother and child were safe. He had watched Chu Wanjie grow up, and if anything had happened to her, he wouldn't be able to explain it to his elder brother, but thankfully, everything was alright!

The midwife beamed and told Chu Yin that he could go in and see the adults and the child. Chu Yin couldn't wait to go in, and saw Chu Wanjie raise her head slightly and smile at him: "Uncle, come and see, how adorable your grandson is!"

Chu Yin tiptoed over and saw that the little prince was sleeping soundly. He had actually become a grandfather! Chu Yin's feelings were beyond words.

In her boudoir, Liu Ruxuan sat on a stool, and Xiyue closed the door: "Miss, you can speak now."

Liu Ruxuan waved her hand gently: "Xiyue, please sit down first."

The oblivious Xi Yue didn't sense that Liu Ruxuan had already set up a barrier inside the room. Liu Ruxuan took a deep breath, thinking to herself, "Xi Yue is willing to risk her life for me, like a sister. I've decided not to hide my secret from her anymore: Xi Yue, what I'm about to tell you might be a big shock to you, so be prepared!"

What could be so devastating? Could it be that Miss and Master Gong have already...? Well, Xi Yue's imagination is running wild. Let's hear what Miss has to say first: "Miss, please tell me, I'm ready!"

"Actually... I'm an alchemist!"

Liu Ruxuan spoke calmly, but Xi Yue was far from calm! The words "I am an alchemist" exploded in Xi Yue's mind. What did her young lady say? An alchemist? How could that be? Her young lady didn't have any spiritual power at all, so where would she get the spiritual power to refine pills? Suddenly, Xi Yue felt that Liu Ruxuan was lying to her: "Haha, young lady, you're lying, aren't you! Young lady, I've followed you for so many years, don't I know what your cultivation level is like?"

Liu Ruxuan suddenly understood why Xiyue had said those words after pausing for a moment. So, with a discreet gesture, she put the jade pendant Dugu Juechen had given her back into her spatial storage: "Xiyue, take a good look at me again, take a good look at my cultivation level!"

Seeing Liu Ruxuan's intense focus, Xi Yue became serious as well. But what she saw made her jump up in astonishment! Her young mistress was already a mid-level third-tier mage, and a third-grade alchemist! "Aww! Miss...you...you...you..."

"How could I have cultivation, right?" Liu Ruxuan said smugly.

Xi Yue nodded like a chick pecking at rice: "Mmm-hmm!"
