Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack-Chapter 1226 - 1206:

Watching Luo Qianqian standing for an entire day and night, finally, someone couldn’t take it anymore.

"What’s she doing? Even if she’s crafting some divine pill, there should be some reaction, right?"

"Exactly, besides the initial reaction, what’s this now? Just standing still in one position?"

"Whose disciple is this?"

"Is this some kind of joke?"

...

Luo Qianqian hears the conversation below and feels a heaviness in her heart, disregarding everything else.

The Alchemy Furnace begins to shake violently, and Luo Qianqian opens her eyes, her face filled with panic, desperately trying to control the furnace.

The scene on the rooftop naturally doesn’t escape the crowd’s notice. Many are shocked and unsure what’s happening next.

There are plenty of knowledgeable people around, some even Alchemists themselves, yet they can’t make sense of Luo Qianqian’s situation.

Luo Qianqian’s numb hands move away from the fire opening. The earlier tremors have already left the inside of the Alchemy Furnace in chaos, and black smoke begins billowing out, clearly visible under the afternoon sun.

Her blackened hands are quickly cleaned by a white mist, and she stands ’blankly’ on the spot.

Even the ’alchemist’ Luo Qianqian is stunned by the violent shaking, unable to come to her senses for a long time, and soon a refreshing fragrance begins to fill the Air...

Though it’s light, the scent is very noticeable, leaving a lasting impression even after a single whiff.

Heavens know, Luo Qianqian is holding her breath as much as possible to avoid coughing her eyes out!

The Alchemy Furnace suddenly disappears with a bang, leaving behind only flying ash and... damp charcoal in front of the crowd.

Luo Qianqian holds something in her hand, looking up to the sky and laughing loudly: "Wahaha, the Hundred Flowers Sword Qi Pill, Master, I’ve done it!!!"

"Bai Jian, come and try it. I only succeeded in making two!" Luo Qianqian waves her hand grandly, beckoning Bai Jian over.

Two round, black objects appear gloriously on her hand, shining in the sunlight.

Bai Jian remains silent for a moment before leaping onto the rooftop, looking at Luo Qianqian with an odd expression, not yet speaking. Indeed, the smell from Luo Qianqian’s side is anything but impressive, but considering the mission, he keeps a straight face, though his hand holding the sword trembles slightly: "How do I consume it?"

Others might think he’s excited, but only the two involved know Bai Jian wants to sneeze...

"Just consume it directly." Luo Qianqian nods at Bai Jian.

Bai Jian takes one, tilts his head back, and swallows it, only to choke...

"Cough, cough..."

Luo Qianqian quickly hands over a bottle of water: "Sorry, first time making this pill, couldn’t perfect the details, I won’t charge you."

Charge? He nearly died!

Even after swallowing the ’elixir,’ Bai Jian can’t forget the fleeting sweetness.

"Next, perform your sword dance!" Luo Qianqian pats Bai Jian’s shoulder, and with several ’sizzle sizzle...’ sounds, Bai Jian deeply regrets his decision.

He should never have agreed to Luo Qianqian!!!

Seeing Luo Qianqian leaping down, standing next to Huangfu Yihui, Bai Jian reluctantly starts his sword dance, realizing it was a mistake.

As he moves, a fragrance spreads around, and everyone seems to enjoy the pleasant smell.

Huangfu Yihui says nothing, but raises an eyebrow at Luo Qianqian, who silently nods back, silently standing aside.

Huangfu Yihui suddenly covers his nose, showing disgust: "Your alchemy left you with a scent? When will this fragrance dissipate? What’s its use?"

Luo Qianqian is slightly taken aback, but upon seeing Huangfu Yihui’s eyes, immediately understands, giving a wry smile: "I probably won’t have any scent after a day, right?"

From the rooftop, Bai Jian stops moving: "What about me?" His face is filled with despair, after all, he’s a man!

"If you stop dancing, it’ll quickly fade," Luo Qianqian tells Bai Jian, silently adding in her heart that a bath would wash it all away. 𝐟𝚛𝕖𝚎𝕨𝗲𝐛𝚗𝐨𝐯𝐞𝕝.𝐜𝗼𝗺

"You tricked me!!!" Bai Jian hops off the rooftop, enraged: "As a man, what happens if my actions make others think I’m a girl in the future!"

"... I’ll go back and ask Master to help figure it out..." Luo Qianqian replies seriously: "There should be a solution."

"How much is this ’Hundred Flowers Sword Qi Pill’ worth?" a girl immediately asks.

Luo Qianqian feels a bit sheepish, genuinely concerned about any duplicate names, which is why she thought of this name.

Moreover, the name conveniently explains why the aura during alchemy wasn’t the Fire Attribute—it accomplishes multiple goals at once.

And since it’s just a perfume scent, even though she’s a merchant, she wouldn’t deceive consumers.

"This time I only have these two results, so they’re not for sale. I need to take them back for Master to examine; I hope you understand." Looking at the girl’s starry eyes, Luo Qianqian firmly decides not to sell.

And what if someone gets addicted?

This world doesn’t have Maltose...

"You’re so fragrant, stay away from me!"

"You’re fragrant, you stay away from me!"

Luo Qianqian and Bai Jian bicker with mutual disdain for a while. Seeing Luo Qianqian isn’t planning to do anything more, the crowd gradually disperses, although some persistent individuals remain.

Glancing over, only around thirty people remain from the earlier lively group, seemingly working in coordination to compress and surround them, their intentions clear.

After confirming no one else is around, Luo Qianqian nudges Bai Jian, still leaning against the wall fanning himself.

Bai Jian looks at her crossly: "What is it?" Doesn’t she see he’s expressing his disdain?

"Can you handle these people on your own?"

Luo Qianqian speaks softly, pretending to gaze at the sky while discreetly assessing the surrounding crowd.

Because she has to maintain her guise as an Alchemist, she tries to avoid fighting and exposing the wrong attributes.

Bai Jian surveys the crowd twice, then shakes his head: "At full strength, yes. Now, no."

Having their strength suppressed and facing considerable pressure, even with previous experience, Luo Qianqian is powerless.

At least she still has the storage ring now.
