471 and what if I died?

" I don't know much about alchemy but I think this is not the way a pill should look like," stated Fang Yanli as she pointed to the pill in the pill refiner. " It looks like some sort of candy, you see?"

It even smelled like one was what Song Yan wanted to say but she still continued to channel her Yin energy inside the pill furnace, the more she poured her energy into the pill furnace the more prominent the scent of pomegranate became and then ——

Song Yan noticed the flame underneath the pill furnace had started to quiver, she knew that this only happened when the pill was almost ready, she took a sniff of the scent that was emitting from the pill and cursed when she realised that it was still smelling like sweet candy. She hoped that at the last moment something will happen but then the flame underneath the pill refiner extinguished and then with a puff, red and white smoke started floating out of the pill refiner.

She looked at Fang Yanli who motioned her to take the pill out of the pill refiner, Song Yan did as she asked and poured the pill out of the pill refiner into the porcelain tray in front of her. The red marble candy-like pill rolled out of the refiner and then rolled left and right on the porcelain tray before coming to a stop in the centre.

Fang Yanli and Song Yan looked at the candy with pained expressions.

"It's most probably a candy," said Fang Yanli.

"It's definitely a candy." Song Yan conceded as the two looked down at the red pill.

" What candy?" Fu Yu Sheng who has just taken a bath and changed into his nightwear stepped out of the room and then looked at Song Yan who was sitting on the floor with her face cupped in depression.

Song Yan raised her head and looked at Fu Yu Sheng then she looked down at the candy before she pinched her fingers and picked the candy up in her hand and then got up from the floor.

Seeing Song Yan come to him with a solicitous smile on her face, Fu Yu Sheng felt that something was wrong, he narrowed his eyes and then looked at her with a wary look in his eyes and said, " What are you doing? What do you think you are doing?"

" Don't worry nothing is going to happen," she said before raising her hand and making use of the opportunity when Fu Yu Sheng opened his mouth and thrust the candy-like pill in his mouth.

Fu Yu Sheng felt something super sour and sweet burst into his mouth as Song Yan pushed a small candy-like thing into his mouth. He blinked his eyes in surprise because he was so surprised to even when he was thinking about spitting the candy out of his mouth, he ended up swallowing it.

" What was that?" He asked as he patted his cheeks, he wanted to see whether he still had the chance to spit the candy out or not.

"It's nothing just a little experiment," replied Song Yan as she tilted her head and asked, " How do you feel?"

Fu Yu Sheng frowned but he replied quite honestly, " I will like an endless supply of energy has been channelled into me."

At his answer, Song Yan clapped her hands together and nodded. " Looks like the pill worked! I thought I failed but somehow I managed to make it to pull it off! It wasn't a total failure."

Fu Yu Sheng: "..." ??!

Fu Yu Sheng: "…." ?!!

Fu Yu Sheng: "…." !!!

" And what would you have done if I died?"

" Don't worry I could have saved you."

" Song Yan!"

Fu Yu Sheng was really angry, it was one thing for his wife to use him as her beck and call but it was a completely different thing if she was to use him as her test subject!

" All right, I am sorry," Song Yan too knew that she was in the wrong, she thought that she has not succeeded which was why she didn't dare to take the pill, if she was to collapse then what will happen to Fu Yu Shen and the others? She still hadn't taken care of Song Lan and Chu Lian.

But the pill that she refined was after all could still be considered a grade B pill with all the expensive herbs that were used for the making of it. She didn't want to throw the pill away and she didn't want to take the risk either which was why she ended up making Fu Yu Sheng eat it, after all, he could stomach a straw puppet, he could definitely stomach her pill right?

The instinctive decision she took was after careful consideration and it was all because she wanted to save the money nothing else. Moreover, the pill looked like a sweet candy even if she missed something, the pill would have been fine right? If it was dangerous then how can it smell like sweet candy?

But looks like her actions might have angered Fu Yu Sheng a lot.

" I was just trying to experiment a little and nothing more, you don't get angry, I promise I won't do it again." She knew that she was out of the line which was why she was readily willing to accept her fault.

Fu Yu Sheng however didn't want to forgive her so easily, this woman was getting bolder and bolder by the minute, like how could she force him to eat something she failed in? The pill was fine and so was he but that wasn't what was important, what was important was how little importance he held for her!

He harrumphed and then turned on his feet before stomping his way to the bed and then lay down on the bed, a really angry look on his face as he looked at the wall opposite to him.

Fang Yanli who watched the happenings shook her head and then floated towards Song Yan and said, " Looks like you have made someone mad."

" Well, he certainly is."
