Like A Small Mewling Kitten

Upon hearing this, Zhang Li knew that this time things were quite serious and, upon the looks of it, not even her miss knew that the incident would affect the guy this much. She had already thought these things for a while now and have finally decided, "Well... Seeing that he is always running around and training, how about I make a medicinal liquid for him?"

"That does sound like something he'd need." Willow responded with a nod of approval, "Though, he may think that we're looking down on his strength."

Zhang Li sighed when she heard this. It definitely sounded like something he'd think up on. Lotus thought for a bit before responding, "Then, how about this? I will forge a jade bracelet with a container and you can put your medicinal liquid inside?"

"Would that work?" Zhang Li questioned in surprise, "I didn't think that a simple jade bracelet would work..."

"Who said it was simple if it was made by us?" Lotus pointed that out with a smirk.

Seeing the cheeky grin on her young miss's face, Zhang Li had a feeling of excitement in her chest and wondered what could it be that her miss plans to do...

.....

Later that evening, she snuck out of her room leaving Zhang Li in her place as she escorted Huo Wei back to the Scarabia dorm's with her abilities.

Upon her return, Zhang Li was left into seclusion as she prepares the medicinal herbs for the medicinal liquid. Medicinal liquid may be similar to potions, but they aren't entirely all the same. They are like concentrated extract pulled from potions retaining the effect and maybe even doublings its potency. However, while it may be dangerous for a magician, it is different for cultivators.

Those who aren't capable of becoming cultivators could perish if they aren't careful with the medicinal liquid and, for others, it's nothing more than trash. However, that doesn't mean that all of it is bad. For her, she knew what Zhang Li was capable of. After all, she's been watching her all this time. How could she not know her capabilities as an alchemist and a cultivator?

One day, she will have to follow them and leave this world to return to their homeworld...

As she thought of this, the pencil in her hand no longer moved and her mind went blank. Pain etched in her hand as she nearly dropped her pencil. Lotus was surprised!

She tried to continue to think of the shape of the bracelet in her mind. However, she couldn't think anymore! How could this be?! She had a detailed structure in her mind, but she could no longer draw it out!

She spent a few minutes trying to draw but she couldn't quite concentrate anymore. With a heavy sigh, she just put the blueprints away and laid on the bed. For the first time in a long time, her mind was completely blank!

Unsure of the cause for this, she turned to the window in deep thoughts as she tried to figure out what went wrong. Was it because of her head wound from back then? However, that wound had already healed and did not sense anymore damage to the head. It certainly wasn't the brain as the others would've pointed it out if that were to happen. Just what was going on?

The last time she had this feeling was back when she was back in her past life...

When Mo Li was robbed...

Mo Li, a child with her dark purple hair and forest green eyes...

With a heavy sigh, she shook her head and turned back to the window. That day, when she watched her leave, she handed the scroll of her journal to her so they could remember those times when they had the most fun and the trivial matters of an immortal's life. Watching her leave that day wrung a hole in her heart and she could never forget those who wronged that child.

However, the pain in her hand wasn't like that of those days. Instead, it was lighter, but still painful all the same.

It was then that she heard a calling from Zhang Li. Curious, she asked what was going on.

"I've completed the medicinal liquid." Zhang Li responded.

Seeing that Zhang Li was already rather tired, a thought came to her.

.....

With a carefree smile, Willow snuck out of the mirror of Diasomnia's dorm with a large bundle in her arms and was about to leave the hall of mirrors when she crashed into someone!

"Ow!"

"Guh... D-Don't tell me..."

With a feeling of bad premonition, he grimaced and looked up to see that it was Ren!

Ren looked down on her in bewilderment before he heaved a heavy sigh of exasperation, "Why am I not surprised... Lotus, are you okay? What are you doing out here by yourself? Where's Sir Sebek?"

Hearing these words, Lotus felt a little nervous in confusion as if it was her mother who had caught her in an act, which was strange since only the Queen of fairies was ever able to make her feel this way. She brushed herself off and took Ren's hand for assistance as she replied, "Ah, I just wanted to-"

"Sneak out again while Malleus is not around?" Ren finished with a wary look.

"Well, it wasn't exactly a secret..." She lied confidently, "I mean, Lilia knew about it."

Hearing this, Ren was surprised, "He let you out?"

"Pretty much." She responded and touched her head, "I've been doing pretty good, so I thought to leave the dorm."

Hearing this, Ren felt a little guilty as he rarely could check on this kid while he had been injured due to his studies. Since it was like this, he was willing to let things go. His eyes went to the large bundle in her arms, "And the package you're carrying?"

"Oh! My parents sent this to me from home recently. I wanted to try this out, so I took it with me!" Lotus responded with a wide smile.

Ren was surprised when he saw the bundle being four-fifth of Lotus's height and probably two third of her arm's length across from how she was carrying the bundle. Yet, she held it with ease despite her size comparison!

"What are you doing out here?" Lotus changed the topic curiously seeing that he wasn't carrying his books for the first time in a long time. However, she pretended to act naive and dumb that she asked anyway, "Studying? Maybe we can study together!"

"Haha. No." Ren responded with a chuckle feeling rather at ease with her question, "I just heard that the Mostro Lounge recently received a grand piano. The dorm leader of Octavinelle's group asked if I wanted to try it out, so I agreed to it. Hence, why I'm here."

"I see..." Lotus said in surprise, "A piano..."

"This is probably a little boring for you-"

"Then, may I go with you? A piano is a large instrument, right? I've never seen anything but the electric version!"

Hearing her words, Ren was surprised again. Did this kid really never seen a real piano in real life before? He can't comment well on this since his family has always had a piano in their mansion, so he decided to let her indulge on it for now as to make up for not being around to check on her condition.

"All right." He heaved a small sigh in defeat and wore a small smile on his face, "But, it could take a while."

"That's all right!" Lotus smiled wide seeing that she was able to convince Ren to take her with him.

She has never seen a piano up close before, but she was also curious as to what was the Octavinelle trio doing returning so quickly since partying with the two and the Scarabia dorm! Didn't they just stayed with the group since the night before?

Ren didn't question her further seeing that she was curious and adamant reminding him of a small kitten mewing till they get what they want in the end. It was an adorable thing to see... But he can't really say that out loud since he had to remember that, even if the attitude was cute, Lotus was still a guy and the first friend he made since coming to this school. If he said this, he might have to endure his wrath in the end and his instinct was telling him that he really shouldn't even attempt to do that.

.....

Once in the Mostro Lounge, she found that the place was lit, but the place was empty of people and a beautiful black grand piano sat next to the bar of non-alcoholic drinks. Seeing this, Lotus's curiosity grew as she saw the shiny bright instrument that looks to have been designed from the idea of a table, but it couldn't be called one either. It was an unusual instrument that stood on wheels. This was actually the first time she's seen a piano in real life and that thought made her feel even more excited!
