"Uncle Curo, I have my own plans. Thank you for your concern..." Winnie smiled with a small hand.

"Since that's the case, do you still need the sample from yesterday today?" Kuro said.

"No, I still need these today-" As he said that, Winnie stretched out her white and tender hand from her wide cloak, with a list of her purchasing medicinal materials she needed.

Curo took the purchase order from Winnie and looked at it, and seemed quite surprised, saying, "There are a lot more things. It seems that your experiment has already achieved results?"

"Of course-" Winnie raised her little head proudly.

"Haha... I am worthy of being a little genius in the Alchemy Association. I will send you the medicinal materials later. How about it? Should I have a meal with my uncle today? For the sake of your stay, the uncle is generous this time and it's okay to eat anything." Kuro said with a generous look on his face.

"I--"

Winnie was about to refuse, but suddenly a cold voice behind her interrupted her next words.

"Sorry, her next time belongs to me."

Winnie turned her head and looked at the strange and familiar person in front of her. She couldn't help but cover her mouth and exclaimed, "It's you?"

"Why can't it be me?" Xia Lan glanced at Winnie and said.

"Nothing is nothing..." Winnie quickly waved her little hand and said, "It's just a little surprised."

"Accident? You won't forget the time we agreed on, right?" Xia Lan said calmly.

"Of course not!" Winnie lowered her head and said timidly.

"That's fine, come with me."

As he said that, Xia Lan left in one direction without looking back.

"Uncle Curro, I'm sorry, Winnie has to leave first if you have something to do. Thank you for your kindness. By the way, remember that every material was doubled on the purchase order just now." After saying apologetically, Winnie hurriedly followed Xia Lan's back.

"Go--it's that little white face again!" Curo, who was smiling, immediately became gloomy after Winnie left.

...

"I suggest you don't need to buy it with that medicinal material manufacturer next time." Xia Lan said without looking back on the way.

Little Winnie, who was following him, seemed to be a little confused and said, "Why?"

"It's just a suggestion, the decision is up to you." Xia Lan said lightly without explaining.

"Oh." Winnie nodded, not sure whether it was agreeing or denying.

Teahouse room, with the unchanged location last time.

Xia Lan sat on the chair, drinking tea quietly, looking at Winnie, who looked timid in front of her, as if the last scare left some shadow on the little girl.

But he knew that she had a deceptive appearance just like him.

"How was the things I ordered?"

"You have not been disappointed. The finished potion to cure body corrosion and the poison that is enough to kill the upper swordsman are all completed." Winnie sat opposite Xia Lan and said with her head down.

"Oh?" Xia Lan put down the teacup in her hand, and said with surprise: "All have been completed?"

"Yes!" Winnie raised her head and looked at Xia Lan seriously, as if she was dissatisfied with her distrust. "If you don't believe it, I can try the poison for you again."

It seems that she has been revenge for her last behavior.

Xia Lan shook off this meaningless idea and said, "Since you want to try it, I have no reason to stop you."

Winnie opened her mouth, as if she was a little surprised. She thought she was just saying it with anger, but she didn't expect the other party to take it seriously, but when it came to this, she could only make a decision.

Xia Lan opened her hand, and the virtual ring flashed, and a large bag of money bags slammed heavily on the table, saying, "There is 1,000 Kintor inside, which is your reward."

Winnie looked at the seductive purse on the table and her tender little hand trembled, but when she was about to grab the purse, her hand retracted.

"If I collect this money, will you not contact me again in the future?" She looked at him with a solemn look on her face.

"Yes." Xia Lan nodded.

"Then I don't want this money anymore." She pushed the wallet to Xia Lan and said softly.

"Why?" Xia Lan's voice suddenly said coldly.

Feeling the bone-thrusting murderous intent released by the words of the young man opposite, Winnie, who was sitting on pins and needles, had the courage to appear from nowhere at this time, making her look at him strongly.

"If I received this money, it would indeed be a good and continuous situation for my experiment, but what happened? At the beginning, you didn't believe that I could make a potion to treat your body, but I made it, but most people would not take risks like you. What they trust more is a senior pharmacist... Without your sponsorship, I'm afraid I will return to my old days. Such a life is not what I want!"

"Are you threatening me?" Xia Lan's voice slowed down.

"No? I don't mean this. All I want to express is a kind of cooperation." Winnie said fearlessly.

"Cooperate?" Xia Lan stared at the little girl, sneering as if she wanted to see through the other party.

"Yes-" It seemed that the other party's sharp gaze made Winnie feel the sting. Her eyelids couldn't help but droop down and said: "Killing someone does not seem to be a difficult thing for you, but you cannot kill the other party smoothly every time, or more or less, you will have an injury accident like this time. You are a person who focuses on secrets, so you don't want too many people to know your whereabouts. Even things like treating injuries require carefulness, and I'm different-"

As he said that, Winnie stared at Xia Lan with wide eyes and said bravely: "I am a person who can keep secrets for you. I don't care who you kill, and I don't care what you want to do! But I can provide you with good help when you are injured, and even give you the means to kill... And the purpose I need is a continuous stream of experimental sponsorship! This is a win-win cooperation, and I don't think you will reject an assistant!"

Xia Lan played with the teacup on the table, narrowing her eyes slightly at the stubborn girl in front of her.

What she said is a fact that as a pharmacist, he can indeed bring great effects to himself in certain aspects, not only in killing but also in treatment.

He was once forced to give up many tasks due to his injuries, and was even brutally hunted down due to his injuries.

He knew that those who kill would always kill them.

He could not be injured every time he killed someone, or he might die accidentally one day.

He could see that the little girl in front of him was not an ordinary person, this ordinary person was just relative.

She has her own desires, she has her own ambitions, and she is more eager to fulfill a certain inner wish than anyone else, but because of these, she is more likely to betrayal than anyone else.

Trust didn't exist from the beginning.

So, he pushed his wallet at the little girl again and said, "I will continue to look for you."

Winnie's tense nerves also relaxed because of the other party's actions. She knew that he agreed to his cooperation with her.

"I won't believe you."

The other party suddenly said something that made Winnie nervous again.

“But I will try to believe.”

The twists and turns made Winnie lower her head, and a bitter smile appeared on her face under her wide cloak.

Yes, how could a person like him easily trust anyone?

"Drank Sharan, your name."
