Chapter 103
First Successful Alchemy!
Seeing Jessica arrive, Henry felt as excited as if he’d seen money.
He pulled Jessica over to the furnace and asked her to light the fire.
With a casual wave of Jessica’s hand, a magic circle ford beneath the furnace, and a fla ignited.
“Henry, what is this thing? I’ve never seen such a strange stove before.”
Jessica examined the alchemy furnace curiously.
Nothing like it existed in her knowledge.
“This is an alchemy furnace. You can usually refine so pills with different effects. Of course, you can also use it to roast goose or grill chicken; the flavor should be pretty good.”
Henry planned to roast a goose to eat after finishing the pills.
He could just invite Jessica to eat at ho later.
“Alchemy furnace? Never heard of it. But Henry, where did you find this thing?”
Jessica was more curious about where Henry managed to find such odd items.
More importantly, how did Henry even know how to use it?
Who said he was previously uneducated and understood nothing?
“Picked it up at a black market store.”
Henry didn’t dwell on the matter, as the origin of this thing was unclear anyway.
Where would one even find an alchemy furnace in this place? He couldn’t very well say System Daddy gave it to him.
The two of them squatted in front of the alchemy furnace, carefully watching the fire.
anwhile, Lilith had already gone out to buy a goose for Henry.
The house was suddenly left with just Henry and Jessica.
Jessica secretly moved closer to Henry. On the surface, she remained composed, but inwardly she was overjoyed.
To be honest, opportunities for just the two of them alone were really rare.
She was the Imperial Princess, and Henry was a student of Saint Nad Magic Academy.
They originally could have spent a lot of ti together at the academy, but who knew such things would happen midway.
Now, she didn’t have much chance to return to the Empire for schooling either.
Although there were so magic books within the Empire for her to practice, they were the Royal Magic that Joseph had never allowed her to practice.
Probably from that point on, Joseph had been wary of her.
Although she didn’t regret killing that scum, Jessica sotis couldn’t help but feel sad in her dreams.
Her family had fallen apart so easily.
“Henry, do you feel lonely when you’re alone?”
Jessica unconsciously asked this question.
But the mont she said it, she regretted it.
Why should she bother Henry with her own issues?
She felt so regret, but didn’t know how to take back her words.
“I do. Of course, you feel lonely when you’re alone.”
Henry fanned the flas with a fan, not looking at Jessica, but he still answered her question.
“Then… what do you do when you’re lonely?”
“Find things to do, of course. Can’t let the day be lonely, just let it be lonely.”
Henry made a bad pun that Jessica didn’t understand.
Jessica was montarily stunned, but soon covered her eyebrows and laughed.
“Henry, you’re really not serious at all. Acting like this will make girls think you’re very unreliable.”
“Isn’t that just fine? If soone really likes , they should like all of . I’m not willing to compromise and spend my life with soone just for the sake of it.”
Basically, Henry felt no pressure to marry.
After breaking away from the Rulters, he was on his own.
Although it could be boring sotis, that was life. No one’s life is always full of passion; you have to allow for negative emotions sotis.
Listening to Henry, Jessica suddenly felt he made a lot of sense.
Thinking about it carefully, if Joseph hadn’t died, and she reached the right age for marriage, that scum would definitely have married her off as a bargaining chip.
The thought of possibly marrying soone she didn’t know at all in the future filled Jessica with a sense of despair.
But fortunately, Joseph was already dead. Her future might be difficult, but ultimately, she would be the one in charge.
She looked at Henry, her heart suddenly filled with nervousness.
“Henry, what kind of woman do you like?”
“Now we’re talking! There’s a lot to consider here!” Henry’s expression suddenly turned serious, startling Jessica into straightening her back to listen attentively.
“The woman I like preferably has a perky chest, a flat abdon, full and firm buttocks, and a nimble tongue.”
Jessica’s smile gradually froze on her face, which soon darkened.
Was that what she wanted to hear?
She wanted to know what type of girl Henry liked, not what figure!
Jessica was so angry she felt lightheaded, but she couldn’t lose her temper.
If that big cow saw her lay a hand on Henry, she would probably try everything to stop Jessica from seeing Henry!
But Henry’s mouth kept running, getting increasingly graphic.
“Ah, if it’s suitable, even if they’re not human, it’s not a problem. I could accept an elf too.”
“Henry, did you eat mushrooms today?”
“Huh? No.”
“Then why are you talking nonsense?”
The smile on Jessica’s face was very “kind,” and Henry wisely stopped.
How strange. She was the one who asked the question, and he was just answering.
Jessica stood up, turning to look at Henry’s backyard.
Suddenly, her gaze fixed on the large hot spring pool in the backyard.
“Henry, did you dig this pool?”
“Yep, it’s a hot spring. The water temperature is high, but soaking in it when your body is tired feels very comfortable.”
Hearing Henry’s words, Jessica’s eyes instantly lit up.
She walked over to Henry and shook him.
“Henry, I want to try this thing called a hot spring.”
“Who soaks in a hot spring in the morning? It’s definitely more comfortable in the evening!”
Henry replied without looking back.
The alchemy furnace seed to be at its most critical mont now. Henry kept adding firewood, afraid the furnace heat wouldn’t be sufficient.
anwhile, Jessica was completely occupied with the scene of soaking in the hot spring tonight.
Her and Henry in the sa pool, mist swirling around them, confiding in each other, and finally kissing while gazing into each other’s eyes.
No! Just imagining this scene made her feel like her nose might bleed!
“Henry, I’m going ho now to get a change of clothes. We’ll soak in the hot spring together tonight!”
Jessica ran straight out, and Henry didn’t even notice what she said.
He kept adding firewood. The entire alchemy furnace shook constantly from the high temperature!
Just as it reached its peak, the firewood beneath the furnace suddenly all went out.
Then, green smoke continuously wafted from the top of the furnace.
Before Henry could even act, the lid of the alchemy furnace opened by itself.
Quite user-friendly.
A few decent-looking pills lay quietly inside the furnace.
【Ding! Congratulations, Host, on your first successful alchemy. Please continue your efforts】
Dammit, why is there only an achievent prompt and no reward!
Do you know how stingy you are?
Henry quickly put the pills into his pocket, but when he turned around, Jessica was gone.
“Huh? Where did Her Royal Highness the Princess go?”
