“You know a lot of things. You know how to write, draw, treat illnesses, and save people… You know all of these. If you call yourself useless despite all this, what about other beasts?”
Sang Ye’s tone was very calm, and his words were emotionless, but Huanhuan could hear the comfort in them.
She whispered, “If I’m as good as you say, I can make a potion…”
“Don’t say things like that to belittle yourself. You can definitely do it if you try a few more times.”
Huanhuan couldn’t help but smile. “Do you trust me that much?”
“Yes, I believe you very much.”
“Since you trust me so much, I can’t betray your trust.” She slowly let go of his waist and clenched her small fists. “I’ll try again!”
Sang Ye stroked her head. “All the best.”
Huanhuan tried several more times. Finally, on the eighth try, she successfully concocted the right potion.
She carefully filled a wooden basin with the potion.
Looking at the dark red potion in the basin, she heaved a sigh of relief. “It’s finally done!”
Sang Ye asked, “What’s the use of this potion?”
“I want to draw something with it.”
......
Huanhuan tried a dozen more times and succeeded five times.
She poured all the potion into the wooden basin and filled it to the brim.
It was already night.
Bai Di and Shuang Yun were not back yet. Xue Ling had made dinner.
Huanhuan finished her meal quickly and said to Sang Ye and Xue Ling, “I’ll sleep alone tonight.”
With that, she ran upstairs into her bedroom to continue studying the beast patterns.
Before she fell asleep, Sang Yelai knocked on her door.
Huanhuan looked up from the mess and tugged on her wrinkled dress before getting up to pull open the door.
She saw Sang Ye standing outside the door and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Sang Ye asked, “Do you really not need me to sleep with you tonight? I can’t get hard now. You don’t have to worry about me doing that to you. You can sleep in peace.”
Huanhuan was stunned.
She did not expect Sang Ye to admit that he could not get hard without batting an eyelid.
Under normal circumstances, didn’t men care a lot about such things? It was embarrassing to admit that he couldn’t do it in front of his mate.
But Sang Ye didn’t seem to care.
But even if he cared, Huanhuan couldn’t tell. His face was always cold. His expression didn’t change at all. Even a good psychologist wouldn’t be able to detect anything from his face.
Huanhuan coughed lightly. “I have something going on tonight. I’ll be busy until late. Go to sleep first. Don’t worry about me.”
Sang Ye asked, “What are you busy with?”
Huanhuan hesitated.
Seeing this, Sang Ye said, “It’s fine if you can’t say it. I just want to know if you need any help. I don’t feel tired now. It doesn’t matter if I sleep or not. If you need any help, you can tell me directly. I hope I can be of use.”
Huanhuan quickly said, “It’s not inconvenient. I’m just thinking about how to tell you.”
She paused and turned to the side. “Come in first.”
Sang Ye walked into the room. He saw that the bed and carpet were filled with stone slabs, as well as some sheepskin and leaves. A wooden basin containing potion was placed on the cabinet.
Huanhuan scratched her head in embarrassment. “It’s a little messy. Don’t mind it.”
“It’s okay.” Sang Ye picked up a stone slab and realized that there were some strange patterns on it that he couldn’t understand. “Are you drawing?”
“Yes, I’m learning to draw beast patterns.”
Sang Ye looked at her in surprise. “Why are you drawing beast patterns?”
Huanhuan explained the use of the beast patterns.
After hearing her words, Sang Ye was very shocked, but his face was still expressionless. He looked very calm.
“If these beast patterns are really as magical as you say, we can promote them in the tribe in the future. At that time, the combat strength of the entire Rock Wolf Tribe will increase greatly.”
Huanhuan nodded slowly. “Yes, I hope it works.”
Sang Ye could not help with the drawing of the beast patterns, but he did not leave. Instead, he stayed by Huanhuan’s side and silently helped her tidy up the slate sheepskin and leaves that were thrown everywhere.
After tidying up, he stayed quietly and watched Huanhuan draw.
After another night, Huanhuan could finally copy those beast patterns.
She looked at the patterns on the slabs and let out a long sigh of relief.
Her efforts throughout the day and night were not in vain.
For the sake of convenience, Huanhuan planned to carve the beast patterns on the stone slabs. Unfortunately, she was too weak to carve precise lines.
In the end, Sang Ye helped her carve the patterns on all 10 stone slabs.
Huanhuan touched the patterns on the stone slabs. “Let’s find someone to help test out these beast patterns?”
Sang Ye said, “Let me try.”
Huanhuan was a little hesitant. “But this is my first time using a beast pattern. I don’t know how effective it will be. What if…”
“There are no what ifs. I believe you.”
Sang Ye’s tone was very calm and firm.
Huanhuan was silent for a moment. Finally, she agreed to his suggestion.
Sang Ye rolled up his sleeve, revealing his well-defined arm.
Huanhuan smeared a layer of potion on the surface of the stone slab. Before the potion dried, she quickly covered Sang Ye’s arm with the stone slab.
After a while, she took the slab away.
A round dark red beast pattern was imprinted on his arm.
This was an enhanced beast pattern that could increase strength.
Sang Ye casually picked up a useless stone slab and crushed it into powder.
Huanhuan quickly asked, “How do you feel?”
Sang Ye moved his fingers. “This arm feels full of strength. It’s about three times stronger than usual.”
It seemed that beast patterns were indeed useful.
Huanhuan relaxed. All his hard work had not been in vain.
Sang Ye said, “I just don’t know how long this state can last.”
Huanhuan recalled the instructions in the manual and said, “It can last for about half a day.”
It wasn’t particularly long, but it was still good.
After all, it was only entry-level alchemy. When she learned advanced alchemy in the future, the duration of these beast patterns would definitely increase by a lot.
Sang Ye said, “You’ve been busy for a day and a night. You must be tired. Hurry up and sleep. I’ll go out for a walk and test how much power this beast pattern can unleash.”
“Mmhm.”
Huanhuan was indeed tired. She took off her coat and got under the covers. She fell asleep quickly.
When she woke up, it was the afternoon.
She could hear Bai Di and Shuang Yun talking downstairs. It seemed they were back.
