Prolonging His Stay
It's been 12 hours since Zhu Mengyi started her second day of trying to achieve a flawless-quality pill, and she'd just finished her third Earth Advancement Pill for the day.
"Barely a high-quality pill, huh…" Zhu Mengyi looked at the pill in her hands with a dejected look.
There was only half a day left for her to create a flawless-quality pill, but alas, at this rate, due to her fatigue, she wouldn't be able to create another high-quality pill, much less a flawless.
Zhu Mengyi sat there for the next few minutes staring at the cauldron with a dazed look, almost like she'd given up.
"This is hopeless…" Tears began forming in her eyes.
She felt frustrated, dispirited, and most of all, disappointed in herself for not being able to uphold Su Yang's expectations.
"You must be done, since you have the time to sit there and cry," Su Yang's voice suddenly resounded behind her.
Zhu Mengyi turned around to see him, who'd appeared out of the blue, and quickly wiped her eyes dry.
