Lind wanted to cry!
He was not engaged but apparently even suggesting a name indirectly showed an interest. It was all a trap!
Laughter came from his host who had the name Dierdra. She had withheld it until she realized what Lind was. An elixir master was highly valued by aether beasts even more than pills.
Their cultivation issues required special pills if they could be made but the interest was low and the chance of an aether beast having the ability to make pills was also very low. A bad combination.
Elixir masters, however, had much more flexibility and thus were highly valued.
"If you thought I would let you off the hook after Kora's excellent argument and your skills, you are indeed too naive. You should be careful in the future, not all threats are life threatening." Dierdra seemed highly amused but Lind vehemently disagreed.
His life was in mortal danger!
