44: Chapter 44 Little Girl, Really Not Cute At All 44: Chapter 44 Little Girl, Really Not Cute At All Yue Lan regained her composure and reached out to pick up the plastic bag by the bedside.
If one looked closely, they could see her hand was trembling slightly.
As the plastic bag was opened, a faint scent wafted out, and Yue Lan stared at the twenty-sothing round Fragrant Pills in the bag, frozen on the spot.
Is it really Phoenix Sleep Fragrance?!
Really, the one she had been researching for two years and still couldn’t produce?
“Xiao… Xiao Qiqi, did you really refine this fragrance?” Even after hearing Tang Yun talk about it, Yue Lan still found it hard to believe.
Considering herself a prodigy Fragrance Refiner, Yue Lan had created thousands of fragrances, if not tens of thousands, and from childhood, she had never encountered any bottlenecks in Fragrance Refining, until two years ago, when Phoenix Sleep Fragrance burst onto the scene.
Two years ago, Phoenix Sleep Fragrance suddenly appeared in the most famous auction house in the capital, Heavenly Domain Pavilion.
At that ti, Phoenix Sleep Fragrance was hyped as sothing divine, and its price was driven up very high.
When Yue Lan first heard about Phoenix Sleep Fragrance, she was sowhat dismissive, thinking it was just a marketing strategy by Heavenly Domain Pavilion.
It wasn’t until she saw Phoenix Sleep Fragrance from her little apprentice that she understood why it was classified as a top-tier fragrance.
Later, with great difficulty, she managed to deceive two pills from her apprentice to study.
And then, that study lasted two years.
She delved into it day in and day out, tried thousands of thods, but still couldn’t produce it.
Moreover, Phoenix Sleep Fragrance, after appearing three tis two years ago, never showed up again.
Two whole years.
For two whole years, she had never invested so much ti in a single fragrance, but no matter how much ti she spent, no matter how many thods she used, she couldn’t produce Phoenix Sleep Fragrance.
But now, soone else had succeeded.
Hearing Yue Lan’s question, Gu Zhiqi raised an eyebrow and glanced at her.
Wasn’t it because she knew that she had succeeded that she ca?
Yue Lan stared dazedly at the Phoenix Sleep Fragrance in the bag, lost in her thoughts for a long ti without snapping out of it.
Seeing her like this, Gu Zhiqi didn’t speak.
Instead, she shuffled in her slippers to the desk, sat in the chair facing away from Yue Lan, lowered her gaze slightly, and looked at her phone.
After a long while, Yue Lan finally collected herself, turned around with a complicated expression to look at Gu Zhiqi, and gazed at her sowhat fervently, “Who did you learn your Fragrance Refining Technique from?”
Gu Zhiqi heard the question but did not turn around, her fingers paused on the phone for a mont, and she remained silent for a few seconds.
After a while, she lifted her eyelids slightly and replied nonchalantly, “My ntor.”
In fact, she hadn’t studied the traditional Fragrance Refining Technique; the thods she used were all derived from Alchemy.
The Mysterious Sect Techniques had many branches, including Alchemy, which her Senior Uncle specialized in researching.
Since she had learned Alchemy from her Senior Uncle, if you rounded up, it ant her Fragrance Refining Technique was taught by her ntor, which was technically true.
“May I ask who your ntor is…”
“Sorry, that’s not convenient to disclose.” Before Yue Lan could finish her sentence, Gu Zhiqi interrupted, her tone still indifferent.
Yue Lan “…”
Yue Lan felt sowhat choked by Gu Zhiqi’s words.
Apart from her undutiful apprentice, this was the first ti she’d been cut off like that, and she felt a complex mix of emotions.
“Little girl, you’re not cute at all.” Staring at Gu Zhiqi’s back, Yue Lan fell silent for a few seconds, then the complex emotions in her eyes faded away, and she reverted to her usual graceful and gentle deanor.
“Oh.” Gu Zhiqi responded indifferently and continued to tap on her phone.
“Are you selling this fragrance?” Yue Lan raised the bag in her hand towards Gu Zhiqi.
“Not selling.”
Upon hearing this, Yue Lan’s tone took on a tinge of regret, “Alright then.” After saying this, she turned her focus back to the plastic bag, “May I take them out to have a look?”
“As you wish.”
