Inside, the small room was dim and cramped, a mess with bottles and ingredients scattered everywhere.

It was so messy that Li Jian thought he had stepped into a shut-in's room.

But the air still carried that faint medicinal scent he had noticed before.

Nangong Mei stumbled a step when he let go, then immediately dropped to her knees again, clutching the pouch of spirit stones to her chest as fresh tears streamed down her face.

"Waaah… Fellow Daoist Li… you're really… really giving me this…?"

Li Jian rubbed his temples.

"I already gave it to you, so stop crying. You're going to make people outside think I did something to you."

Nangong Mei sniffled hard, shoulders shaking.
