“I see.” The white-bearded dwarf sighed with some regret.

He really wanted to meet the herbalist who could make such high-quality potions.

“Well, little dwarf, I’ve sold everything I have. I’m going to go now. Let’s meet again in the future.” The white-bearded dwarf waved to Shen Yanxiao, took his pipe, and slowly left from her sight.

The sky had completely darkened, and the dwarves in the bazaar were already packing up to leave. Shen Yanxiao walked out of the bazaar and stopped in the dense forest not far away.

Suddenly, a mist overflowed from her chest. The next second, Xiu, who had condensed into a physical body, appeared in front of her.

Before she could speak, Shen Yanxiao was picked up.

“You are not allowed to hurt yourself again.” Xiu held Shen Yanxiao’s arm with one hand and looked at the shallow scar on her fair skin.

Although the recovery potion could make the scar disappear without a trace in a few days, Xiu still felt that the scar was extremely glaring.

Shen Yanxiao shrunk her neck and said, “I have no choice. I don’t have enough money, and I don’t want to steal from him. I tried to sell him the potions, but he didn’t believe me. So how could I not demonstrate it myself? But fortunately, I got everything you said.” After saying that, Shen Yanxiao’s face immediately raised a brilliant smile.

Xiu’s eyes flashed and he hugged Shen Yanxiao tightly.

Just because of his words, she could disregard everything.

“Xiu, you haven’t said what these things are for.” Shen Yanxiao’s muffled voice came from between their embrace. Since she became a dwarf, her hugging posture with Xiu had changed from a normal embrace to being held in Xiu’s arms.

She felt more and more like a child.

Xiu indulged in Shen Yanxiao’s warm body temperature. After a moment of silence, he sat down in the air, put Shen Yanxiao on his lap, and took out the things Shen Yanxiao had just bought.

“What do you think they are?” Xiu held those inconspicuous items.

“I don’t know.” Shen Yanxiao shook her head. If these things were placed in a garbage pile, it would not look out of place. If Xiu had not said that they were useful, she would not have taken a few more glances at them.

“The dwarves possess extremely powerful alchemy skills. And in order to perform alchemy, the most important apparatus is the furnace.” As he spoke, Xiu tied the bracelet on Shen Yanxiao’s wrist to cover the unsightly scar.

“Pick up that furnace now.”

Shen Yanxiao complied and grabbed the worn-out bronze furnace in her hand. The moment she picked it up, she suddenly felt a subtle aura transmitted from the furnace to her hand. Soon after, the bracelet on her wrist emitted a faint halo.

“What’s going on?” Shen Yanxiao’s surprise had yet to pass, before the furnace in her hand was suddenly enveloped by a ray of light. The dazzling light gradually shrank until it completely disappeared from Shen Yanxiao’s palm.

Along with the light, the furnace also disappeared.

“…” Shen Yanxiao was stunned.

Where was the furnace? She had just held it in her hand. How did it disappear in the blink of an eye?
