Unaware of the scene outside, Qian Jiyun and An Jiuyue carried on with their tasks.
After breakfast, An Jiuyue dedicated herself to refining the antidote. She simply instructed Wei Na to keep an eye on the surroundings and notify her of any developments.
Meanwhile, Qian Jiyun sat by her side,
acting as her protector and standing guard while also focusing on his own task, as his space and the Dragon Soul had not yet fully integrated and required more of his time.
When Zhan Beiye brought in their meals, he found each of them busy with their own matters.
An Jiuyue was about to throw a medicinal herb into the pill-refining furnace. Looking up at the sound of someone entering, she saw Zhan Beiye's cheerful face.
"He really knows how to stay calm and mind his own business, doesn't he?"
Zhan Beiye said with a laugh, glancing at Qian Jiyun, then jokingly remarked to An Jiuyue.
"I don't need him to watch over me all the time."
