Upon hearing this, Han Xingyu's lips curled slightly, and she stared intently at Ruoxue with a meaningful gaze.

Ruoxue frowned slightly, turned her body to the side, and naturally avoided his gaze.

Ruo Yuhao looked at Han Xingyu with some skepticism. He didn't rashly try to probe Han Xingyu's cultivation level, but asked in a slightly probing tone, "May I ask your honorable name, young master?"

"Han Xingyu." Han Xingyu smiled calmly.

Han Xingyu? I've never heard of such a name. Even the universally acknowledged nine-star alchemy master in the Demon God Realm couldn't cure his daughter. Could such an unknown young man really have this ability? But Xue'er wouldn't lie to me, and there's no need to lie to me about this.

Seeing her father's apparent doubt, Ruoxue calmly said, "Father, I heard his master is very powerful, seemingly a reclusive expert whose alchemy skills surpass even the nine-star level!" She suddenly lowered her voice and said mysteriously, "However, his master seems unwilling to show his face in public, and he forbids it from him. If I hadn't suddenly gone mad a few days ago and bumped into him on the road, he probably wouldn't have helped me at all."

"Oh? Is that so?" Ruo Yuhao was naturally a smart man. Although his daughter's words were full of loopholes, he was unwilling to point them out.

He was initially puzzled as to why his daughter had lied to him, but when he saw the smile in the man's eyes as he looked at her, he seemed to understand something. He himself had been through similar experiences. This man looked extraordinary and was probably not simple. He somewhat believed the claim that this man had a powerful master, but he was less inclined to believe what his daughter had whispered later. If Xue'er had gone mad, the guards he had sent to protect her would have already kidnapped her and brought her back. How could he allow her to bump into a strange man?

"Yes!" Ruoxue continued her lie without batting an eye, "If Father doesn't believe me, he can test his alchemy skills!"

She was certain that if this man dared to claim he was an alchemist and that he had cured her, then he must have some real skills. Since someone had inexplicably appeared and wanted to get involved in this mess, then let him get involved!

Ruo Yuhao naturally didn't doubt the man's alchemy skills, but since his daughter said so, he wanted to see how this man had cured someone that even a nine-star alchemist couldn't cure!

He looked at Han Xingyu, his expression slightly embarrassed, and smiled, "It's not that I doubt you, young master, but I'm very eager to see your abilities. I'm extremely grateful and deeply admire you for curing my daughter. After all, I once asked a nine-star alchemist to treat my daughter, but even they couldn't cure her. I'm curious, not doubtful, about your ability to cure my daughter, so I hope to witness your true skills."

Curiosity and skepticism are indeed very different, and his words sounded very diplomatic.

Whether he was genuinely curious or deliberately testing him was anyone's guess. Han Xingyu gave a wicked smile, not minding being admired.

"Curious? Then I can show you." Han Xingyu's voice was very pleasant. She then raised an eyebrow at Ruoxue and said, "Miss Xue'er, you've never seen me refine pills, have you? You should see it. Everyone says I'm most charming when I refine pills. I've never known if that's just flattery. Today, I'd like to ask Miss Xue'er to do me a favor and see if I'm really that charming when I refine pills. I don't believe what others say, but I have complete faith in what Miss Xue'er says!"

The words "unwavering belief" carried a hint of ambiguity when they came out of his mouth.

Ruoxue glanced at him with secret annoyance. Was this man too narcissistic? Was he deliberately trying to make her father misunderstand?

Ruoxue carefully looked at Ruoyuhao's face and indeed saw that Ruoyuhao was looking at Hanxingyu in a strange way. Why did his gaze look like that of a father-in-law scrutinizing his son-in-law?

Ruoxue was annoyed, but she put on a friendly smile and said, "I will definitely take a good look at just how charming you are when you are refining pills!" However, when she emphasized the last four words, "how charming," there seemed to be a hint of sarcasm in her words.

Han Xingyu ignored the sarcasm in her words and with a flick of his sleeve, a huge alchemy furnace flew out from his sleeve. When the alchemy furnace appeared, Ruo Yuhao did not pay much attention to it, but when the other party was refining pills, he was surprised to find that the alchemy furnace was actually a Xuan-grade demonic artifact!

In the realm of demons and gods, even top-grade demon artifacts are highly sought after, yet this man actually possesses a profound-grade demon artifact! It seems his master is indeed extraordinary!

Ruoxue's body had always been mentally unstable, so she naturally didn't understand or have much curiosity about this kind of divine artifact. She just thought this man was really narcissistic. When he was refining pills, he was covered in sweat and there was nothing charming about him. He had just arrogantly said that others said he was charming when he was refining pills. He was really blind!

The time required for alchemy is extremely long. Ruo Yuhao sighed slightly, realizing that he was wasting his time. Although he didn't know how to refine pills, he knew that it would take at least 49 days to refine an ordinary divine pill.

But to everyone's surprise, less than an hour later, the man said, "It's done."

Ruo Yuhao's eyes widened as he stared at the divine pill in the man's alchemy furnace. He even bit his tongue hard in disbelief, realizing he wasn't dreaming, and his heart trembled even more.

Where on earth did this young master come from?

He had seen nine-star alchemists refine pills, and even such experts could only succeed in refining ten out of twelve pills in a batch. Who knew that this young master could actually succeed in refining all twelve!

He had heard from a nine-star alchemist that if one could master the skill of creating a single batch of pills, then one would become a ten-star alchemist, but it still depended on what level of divine pills one could create.

Ruo Yuhao suppressed his shock and carefully examined the divine pill in the furnace. This time, he was almost scared to death!

Seeing her father's swaying back, Ruoxue quickly went to support him. She couldn't understand what was so special about the little pills the man was making, and asked worriedly, "Father, are you alright?"

Ruo Yuhao finally caught his breath, his hand trembling as he pointed at the alchemy furnace, saying, "One hour, twelve pills were completed, each one a top-grade divine pill, unbelievable, unbelievable..."

Ruoxue watched her father repeatedly mutter the words "unbelievable," and thought to herself, "Has my father been scared out of his wits?" So, it turns out that this body's frequent bouts of madness are inherited from her father? Now, her father looks like a madman no matter how you look at him!

Han Xingyu pouted, somewhat annoyed, and said, "Sigh, it's just a top-grade divine pill. I guess it's in an unfamiliar place that it's not performing well. I'm usually not this bad. I wanted to show off in front of Miss Xue'er, but I didn't expect to refine such useless pills."

Ruo Yuhao nearly bit off his tongue, stammering for a long time before finally saying, "You...you mean...these are...useless pills..."

Han Xingyu chuckled wickedly, "Otherwise what? Are these things really that precious?"

"This is a top-grade divine pill!" Ruo Yuhao suddenly felt like crying. This young master's demeanor was too nonchalant!

Even nine-star alchemists find it difficult to refine top-grade divine pills!

In the realm of demons and gods, top-grade demon god pills are incredibly precious!

If the Black Demon Ancient God knew that such an alchemist existed, he would surely worship him!

For the current Black Demon Ancient God, cultivation is becoming increasingly difficult, requiring constant assistance from medicinal pills to make even the slightest progress. However, even the Black Demon Ancient God can only afford to consume one top-grade Demon God Pill a year, and even after consuming it, he worries that the alchemists in the Black Demon Kingdom will not be able to refine one next year. Sometimes, he can only afford to consume half a pill a year. This young master, on the other hand, can easily refine twelve pills in an hour, yet he still calls them useless pills!

"What's so special about a top-grade divine pill?" Han Xingyu said arrogantly, "I usually use it as trash to reward my servants."

He wasn't lying. Because he had become a god, his alchemy skills had greatly improved. He could easily refine Xuan-grade pills on a daily basis, and sometimes he could even refine new varieties of pills that surpassed Xuan-grade. Only those pills were treasured and kept by him. He didn't even glance at Xuan-grade divine pills on a daily basis, and would just throw them to Shui Xiafeng to throw into the waste pill room. As for whether Shui Xiafeng ate them or used them for other purposes, he didn't have time to find out.

"Young Master, please don't joke around." Ruo Yuhao's smile was awkward, and his voice trembled slightly. He even had an impulse, an impulse to strangle the man in front of him. He had lived most of his life and had only ever obtained one top-grade divine pill. That was only because he had begged for a long time for his daughter, and the Black Demon Ancient God had finally given him one. At that time, that guy's face was as black as his name suggested. He himself was ashamed of his own thick skin back then. Now, this kid in front of him, whose life force was only about twenty years old, actually... actually said that a top-grade divine pill was trash in front of him. It was too much!

"A joke?" Han Xingyu feigned ignorance. "I'm not good at joking." As he spoke, he nonchalantly put away the alchemy furnace, toying with the twelve divine pills in his hand. His expression was slightly troubled, as if he were talking to himself, "My men didn't come today. What should I do with these junk?"

"Why not just destroy it?" Han Xingyu muttered to herself.

Ruoxue looked at the man as if he were an idiot, and sneered inwardly: Is this man out of his mind? What is he muttering to himself for?

Unexpectedly, Ruo Yuhao, whom she was supporting, this seemingly composed man, suddenly pounced on her, snatched the divine pill from Han Xingyu's hand, and said with a forced smile, "Since you don't want it anymore, I'll take care of it for you!" He no longer referred to himself as "this humble one" but instead addressed himself as "I" in a somewhat intimate manner.

Han Xingyu blinked and said innocently, "I'm really putting you in a difficult position."

"No problem! No problem!" Ruo Yuhao was overjoyed. If this was a problem, he would rather be in a difficult position forever!

"I'm really sorry, I usually have my subordinates handle these things, so I'll have to trouble Mr. Ruo to take care of them today." Han Xingyu narrowed her eyes slightly.

Ruo Yuhao was fondling the twelve divine pills in his hand, completely ignoring what he was saying. However, Ruoxue suddenly sensed a hidden meaning in his words, as if he was implying that her father had become this man's subordinate today!

Ruoxue glared at Han Xingyu with extreme displeasure, but Han Xingyu gave her a smug smile. Suddenly, a voice echoed in Ruoxue's mind: "Woman, you're quite interesting. The way you look angry is not bad, quite pleasing to the eye!"

This was a voice transmitted by a secret technique. Ruoxue didn't know any such technique. Apart from coldly staring at the man in front of her, she didn't say anything more. She vaguely felt that she seemed to have gotten herself into a big trouble.

She stared intently into the man's dark eyes, wondering what secrets lay hidden within those unfathomable depths. Suddenly, she felt as if she had been seen through; she hadn't seen through him, yet he had seen through her. This feeling irritated her greatly.

Damn it, don't get cocky. I'm just using you to cover up my lies. Once Dad believes you cured my face and my insanity, I won't need you anymore!

Ruoxue looked coldly at Han Xingyu, her eyes filled with a hint of hostility.

Han Xingyu looked at the hostility in the other person's eyes with amusement. This was definitely not the kind of emotion that a woman who had been a crazy and ugly girl since childhood could show. If this woman was really as rumored, she would not be so calm at all. She should have rushed up and cursed her the moment she heard her voice transmission.

The more composed she pretended to be, the more curious he became.

Ruo Yuhao finally snapped out of his surprise at suddenly receiving twelve top-grade Demon God Pills, happily putting the pills into his sleeve. At this moment, his gaze toward Han Xingyu seemed to carry a hint of infatuation.

"Young master, thank you so much for saving my daughter. I really don't know how to thank you enough." Ruo Yuhao suddenly wanted to bow very seriously.

Han Xingyu quickly waved her hand and said, "No need to be so polite. I didn't save you, so you don't need to worry about how to thank me!"

Ruo Yuhao was slightly taken aback, while Ruoxue frowned, as if she had a bad feeling.

Han Xingyu raised an eyebrow at Ruoxue, and said with a wicked smile, "I saved Miss Xue'er, so shouldn't Miss Xue'er repay me with her body?"

"You bastard! What did you say?!" Ruoxue finally lost her temper! Was this man out of his mind?! His sudden appearance was bad enough, she was just using him to act, but who knew he would make such an outrageous request! Even the best patience couldn't hold back anymore!

Ruo Yuhao looked at Han Xingyu in shock, then at his daughter who could curse so fluently, his brows furrowing slightly.

Ruo Yuhao sighed inwardly: What kind of mess is this? He had just resolved the Blood King's matter, and now his daughter had inexplicably encountered someone like this? A person who could treat a top-grade Demon God Pill as trash must be extremely extraordinary. Would he easily let go of someone he had his eye on? How many women did such a person have? Although he admired this person's talent, such a capable and extraordinary individual was probably definitely not a suitable match for Xue'er!

Han Xingyu's lips curved into a charming smile, and she said with a hint of roguishness, "Miss Xue'er, I know you're shy. Don't try to hide your shyness with anger! You used to like the Blood King so much, and you suddenly broke off the engagement because you wanted to be with me, didn't you? Why hide it from your father? Talk to him properly, and I don't think Mr. Ruo will be angry."

Ruo Yuhao looked at his daughter with a puzzled expression. He was also confused. His daughter had always liked the Blood King, so why would she write a letter of annulment today? Now that he heard this young master say that she had a new love and naturally didn't want her old one anymore, it made perfect sense.

However, he wouldn't just listen to one-sided accounts from outsiders. He looked at Ruoxue and asked affectionately, "Xue'er, you can tell your father anything. What are you really thinking? Is the reason you broke off the engagement because you have someone you love, and that's why you don't want to marry the Blood King?"

Ruoxue sighed inwardly. If her father hadn't been a rational person, he might have been bribed by the twelve Demon God Pills the other party had given her. Fortunately, her father loved her and always asked for her opinion and respected her. This kind of love was true love, far more touching than giving her generous material things.

"Xue'er doesn't have anyone she likes," Ruoxue said with certainty. "She broke off the engagement because she doesn't like the Blood King. It has nothing to do with anything else. It's very simple: she doesn't like him."

"Because you don't like him?" Ruo Yuhao was still puzzled, frowning as he asked, "Didn't Xue'er used to really like the Blood King?"

Ruoxue said earnestly, "Back then, I was out of my mind and thought that since you were my mother, you couldn't have chosen the wrong person. I didn't think about whether I liked him or not. I just blindly thought that he would be my future husband, so I often went to see him and pestered him. Now, I'm cured and I can clearly distinguish between liking and disliking."

"Is that so?" Ruo Yuhao glanced at Han Xingyu and whispered, "Regarding that young master... he did save you after all—"

Ruoxue interrupted, "Father, I am very grateful to him for healing me, but that doesn't mean I have to repay him just because he saved me. If I have to get something in return, then his purpose in saving me in the first place wasn't pure, and such a person doesn't deserve my repayment! Who says that you have to repay kindness? There are plenty of people in this world who repay kindness with enmity! If some people insist on making things difficult for Xue'er, Xue'er doesn't mind being a bad person who repays kindness with enmity!" After saying that, Ruoxue glared fiercely at Han Xingyu, who had a wicked smile on his face. Her words were clearly a threat to him.

Ruo Yuhao felt worried and turned to look at Han Xingyu. Seeing that Han Xingyu was still smiling but not showing any anger, Ruo Yuhao breathed a slight sigh of relief. However, he still felt that he could not offend this person. After all, this young master was not simple and might not be someone he could contend with. If this person really got angry, he was afraid he would not be able to protect Xue'er. He said with some difficulty, "Xue'er, this is against the gentleman's conduct. A gentleman repays kindness."

Ruoxue smiled playfully and said, "Father, why worry so much? I never said I would repay kindness with enmity. Young Master Han was just joking. Besides, I'm not a gentleman, just a young lady. Why bother with gentlemanly conduct?" She then looked at Han Xingyu with hostility, her voice turning slightly cold and threatening, "Young Master Han, you were just joking with my father, weren't you? I know you're a very witty person!"
