'Oh, sh*t!'
That was Darryl's reaction when he heard that Jadie Spirit was prepared to barge into the room. He quickly answered, "I'm fine. Uh… I'm resting. If there is nothing important, please leave."
Everything would be ruined if Jadie Spirit came in and saw Empress Heidi having a bath.
After saying that, Empress Heidi grabbed Darryl and asked, "Why did you answer her? She knows you're in here now!"
Empress Heidi was a woman, so she understood what a woman would think. However, there had to be something important since Jadie Spirit would come to look for Darryl at such a late hour. Jadie Spirit would not take such risky chances if it was not necessary.
Darryl felt helpless with Empress Heidi's accusation.
Right then, Jadie Spirit was happy to hear Darryl's reply.
"I know you're inside. I have some important matters to discuss tonight, so that's why I had to come over here to disturb you."
After that, Jadie Spirit opened the door without permission. Both Darryl and Empress Heidi were shocked, especially Darryl. He could not decide if he should cry or laugh at the situation.
'Darn it! She's way too brave. I already told her I was resting, yet she still dares to barge in.'
Empress Heidi panicked as she bit her lip and her face turned pale. She tried to find a place to hide, but she was wearing nothing, and she was still in the wooden bathtub. There was not enough time.
Under such circumstances, there was nothing else she could care about. She covered her nose and mouth with her hand and dived into the water.
At that time, Jadie Spirit strode over. Her long green dress was refreshing and still showed some sexy factors.
Darryl had not recovered from the shock. "You…"
Finally, he asked, "Jadie Spirit, what's the matter? Why are you in a rush?"
He took a look at Empress Heidi, who hid in the water. He felt lucky.
'Fortunately, Her Ladyship reacted quickly. If not, Jadie Spirit would've discovered her.'
"I…"
Jadie Spirit asked carefully, "Barely Immortal, is it convenient for you to go to the elixir production room with me?"
Darryl shook his head. "It's too late. I don't want to go. Just tell me the procedure here, and I'll find the problem for you."
He kept looking at the wooden bathtub.
'I haven't finished massaging Her Ladyship's acupoint. I need to find a way to get Jadie Spirit to leave soon, or else, Her Ladyship would be in trouble for being in the water for too long.'
"Okay!"
Since Darryl insisted, Jadie Spirit was slightly disappointed. Nevertheless, she still told Darryl the production process in detail.
After hearing it from Jadie Spirit, Darryl gave it a thought and smiled.
"You've put the ingredient in the wrong order, and you didn't control the fire correctly. You can't use high heat to produce this elixir. During the last stage, it has to be on low heat!"
