Chapter 157 Accidental Residues
The word "greasy" hit his ears, making Li Luo's smile suddenly stiffen. This kind of word should be used to describe that bitch Shen Jinxiao. How could it be used on a young man in his prime?
"Mengmeng, you make me so sad. I see that you must be very tired after refining for so long. So out of my generosity as a captain, I come in to comfort you! How can you attack me personally? !" Li Luo said heartbrokenly.
Bai Mengmeng was a little flustered when she was "reprimanded". She quickly lowered her head and admitted her mistake: "Captain, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to attack you. I just didn't react, so I just blurted out what I wanted." "." Li Luo felt a little tight in his
chest
. , what you mean is that this is what you actually think in your heart?
Li Luo put away his smile and handed over the water glass with an expressionless face: "Drink it from me."
Bai Mengmeng quickly took it and drank the water in small sips, glancing at Li Luo secretly.
Li Luo shook his head. It seemed that he had chosen the wrong way. It seemed useless to be friendly and gentle with this cute little girl. It would be easier to directly demand something tough.
"Ahem."
Li Luo coughed dryly and said, "I heard from Instructor Xi Chan, Mengmeng, you have developed a lot of formulas for spiritual water and strange light over the years? There is even a four-star formula." Bai
Mengmeng He nodded shyly and said, "It's not really that big of a deal. The formulas I researched are all those under the Qiguang of the Fourth Grade Spiritual Water." "That's
pretty awesome. How old are you? There will be many more in the future." There is room for improvement, and we will definitely be able to develop higher-quality formulas in the future." Li Luo praised.
"Well, thank you, captain." Bai Mengmeng smiled sweetly, her innocent little face making people drink honey, sweet to the throat.
Li Luo asked casually: "What about the formulas you researched?"
Bai Mengmeng replied seriously: "Those formulas were taken away by the family, and most of them were sold to other Lingshui Qiguang Houses. , our Bai family itself is not very involved in the Lingshui Qiguang House industry."
Li Luo felt a little regretful when he heard this, but this was to be expected. After all, even if Bai Mengmeng didn't understand the value of those formulas, there was still a Bai family behind them.
"Is the captain also interested in the formula of spiritual water and strange light?" Bai Mengmeng looked at Li Luo with big watery eyes.
Li Luo hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said: "Just asking."
He originally wanted to find a breakthrough with Bai Mengmeng to obtain a high-star formula for Xiyangwu, but this level of formula was not available on the market. The price is extremely high, and that price may not be affordable for the current Xiyang House.
But if he relied on his relationship with Bai Mengmeng to obtain the other party's spiritual water and light formula at an unequal price, that would be too bullying. He didn't want to deliberately deceive such a simple and lovely girl.
After all, he couldn't get anything of value from this place or Xiyang House.
With these thoughts in his mind, Li Luo's previous enthusiasm became less intense. He talked with Bai Mengmeng again for a while, then walked to the refining table on the other side, took some materials, and began to practice the spiritual water. Strange light.
Previously, Li Luo had been able to refine the second-grade spiritual water and strange light. During this period, as his strength improved greatly, he also began to try to touch the third-grade spiritual water and strange light.
But this attempt failed completely, because the difficulty of refining the third-grade spiritual water and strange light is almost doubled compared to that of the second-grade.
Obviously, Li Luo still needs a lot of practice if he wants to refine the third-grade spiritual water and strange light.
During today's practice, Li Luo was a little distracted because of the twelve pieces of brocade and the formula of spiritual water and strange light. He refined the third-grade spiritual water and strange light several times, but failed in the first few steps, which directly led to the failure of the refining. .
puff!
As energy surged in the crystal bottle in his hand, the liquid in it gradually dimmed. Li Luo knew that this was another failure of fusion.
Li Luo put the failed product next to him and shook his head. It seems that today is not a suitable day for practice.
So after greeting Bai Mengmeng, he prepared to leave the refining room.
"Captain, let me help you clean up the refining table." Bai Mengmeng saw the mess on Li Luona's refining table and whispered.
"Then I'll trouble you." Li Luo smiled, but he didn't refuse her kindness. At the same time, he praised her again in his heart. She is such a kind and well-behaved little cute girl. If Yu Lang knew about it, he would be envious even in his eyes. Like a rabbit, right? Unfortunately, he was not blessed with Bai Mengmeng's cleverness, and could only accept Bai Doudou's iron fist whipping every day.
While Li Luo was gloating about his misfortune, Bai Mengmeng was already helping him clean up the table. Then she saw the defective product that had failed to be refined. She took it off and dumped it into the waste pool.
However, just as the viscous liquid was poured out, Bai Mengmeng suddenly smelled a pungent smell emanating from it.
If ordinary people smelled this smell, they would instinctively avoid it, but Bai Mengmeng was stunned. Then after a few seconds of hesitation, she put the crystal bottle to her lips and took a sip.
Snapped!
The crystal bottle fell from Bai Mengmeng's hand and hit the refining table directly, shattering into pieces.
Li Luo, who was about to push open the door of the refining room and leave, heard the shattering sound and quickly turned his head. He was a little shocked to see Bai Mengmeng standing there, her big eyes red, with mist lingering in them. As if he was about to cry.
Her lips were still stained with dark green liquid.
Li Luo recognized it at a glance as the defective product that he had failed to refine just now.
Li Luo was immediately frightened. Is this stupid girl crazy? Dare you drink this kind of spiritual water that has failed to be refined? What do you think it is? !
If you have a drinking problem here, can Bai Doudou spare him?
Li Luo hurried back in two steps and asked urgently: "Are you okay?"
He took a clean handkerchief from the side and was about to wipe off the liquid on her lips.
But Bai Mengmeng shook her head to avoid it. She looked at the liquid spilled on the table, and suddenly stretched out her hand to hold it. The broken crystal fragments scratched her delicate little hand, and blood seeped out immediately.
Li Luo hurriedly grabbed her hands and said angrily: "Bai Mengmeng, are you crazy?"
He was really frightened and angry because Bai Mengmeng's behavior was so abnormal.
Bai Mengmeng couldn't break free from Li Luo's hand. Her face turned red and her voice was trembling as she said, "It's bitter! It's bitter!"
"Bitter?"
Li Luo was confused. He looked at the spilled liquid and hesitated for a moment. He stretched out his finger and took a drop of it and put it in his mouth. His entire face was immediately distorted. At this moment, it was as if some kind of beast's gall was erupting in his mouth.
"Ugh."
Li Luo retched a few times and said, "That's too disgusting. Are you kidding me?"
However, Bai Mengmeng stretched out her slender fingers, stained with the dark green liquid, and placed them tremblingly in her small mouth. Not only was he not retching from the pain, but his face was strangely red, which seemed to be caused by excessive emotion.
"It's bitter! Although this taste has been there for many years, I still remember it!" Bai Mengmeng looked at Li Luo with red eyes and said tremblingly.
Li Luo was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to his senses, yes, didn't it mean that Bai Mengmeng had lost her sense of taste? Then how does she know this thing is bitter?
Still speaking,
Li Luo stared at the dark green liquid on the table with a strange expression.
This defective product that he messed up unexpectedly stimulated Bai Mengmeng's taste again?
Is there such a weird thing?
For a moment, Li Luo was a little confused.
