However, she was an ice mage.
It was easy to erase that burning sensation with magical energy.
Perhaps the potion was like that too.
Elina curiously asked, "Should we find someone to try it out first?"
Nanako thought for a moment and said seriously, "Yes, but let's have the mages from Winter Spring Valley experiment with it. Don't let the residents try it; it wouldn't be good if something happened."
Elina immediately stood up straight and said, "Yes, yes! Nanako-sama, Elina will go get them right away!!"
After saying that.
Elina gripped her staff and quickly rushed out of the alchemy workshop.
Seeing Elina off.
Nanako exhaled and felt both happy and satisfied.
Her little hair tuft danced lightly, showing a small sense of pride.
Although it had consumed a lot of her magical energy, the feeling of accomplishment after completing something was still very satisfying!
If the potion really worked, then everyone's curse would soon be lifted.
Nanako hummed, shouldered her staff, and locked the door.
They could experiment with the potion after Elina brought her companions over.
As for herself, of course, she was going to take a nap~
Saying that.
Nanako walked contentedly to the side room, closed the door with a snap, and flopped onto the bed in the rest area.
Soon, the room was filled with contented snoring.
...
Time passed minute by minute.
And at that moment.
Click —
A very faint sound of unlocking.
A half-transparent thief could be vaguely seen slowly stepping into Nanako's alchemy workshop.
He looked around vigilantly, his gaze falling on the direction of the door where Nanako was resting.
Nanako: "zZZ..."
The side room door is where Nanako's sweet snoring can be heard.
He sneered.
Turning his head, his gaze focused on the newly developed potion in the cauldron.
"So this is the potion that can lift the curse!"
Indeed, some foolish mages.
Such an important thing was left here without any vigilance; it seemed they were overconfident!
"In that case, I won't be polite!"
He sneered as he took out a special container.
Then carefully collected all the potion in the cauldron.
But just as he opened the lid, a strange fragrance immediately wafted up.
He was instantly puzzled.
"Is this really a potion? Why does it feel a bit off?"
For some reason.
He suddenly felt a burning sensation in his body.
"Never mind, I'll take it away first!"
...
Until more than half an hour later.
There was a knock on the door.
In the side room, Nanako woke up with a start, rubbed her dazed eyes, and looked around.
"Ah... Have they already arrived?"
She yawned.
Then dragged her sleepy body out of the side room and opened the door.
Immediately, Elina, Lynn, and the few mages who had been turned into pigs appeared before her.
"Good afternoon, Master," Lynn smiled, tossing a pistachio into his mouth.
The pigs (～￣(OO)￣)ブ greeted her.
【It seems Master has secretly come to make potions behind her disciple's back—judging by this, Master must have succeeded in developing it.】
【The recipe must be flawless; my recipe, even thousands of years ago, was definitely top-notch.】
【Even a silly loli like Master could easily handle it, hehehehe...】
Nanako's hair tuft stood up fiercely.
Hmph.
Hearing her disciple's thoughts, Nanako blushed, crossed her arms, and turned her head proudly.
Really...
Why did Lynn come too!
If Lynn is here, Nanako won't be able to say some proud things.
Um... that...
As for the evil term "silly loli," it can be temporarily forgiven.
After all, if it weren't for Lynn's recipe, it would be very troublesome to lift the curse.
If it really works, it would be nice to make some delicious small cakes to reward Lynn when she returns.
"Master, where's the potion you made?" Lynn chuckled, "We can have them try it first; if it works, we can lift the curse for the residents."
Nanako quickly went to the alchemy cauldron.
She smiled.
Grabbed the lid.
"It's right here! Nanako made a lot, definitely enough!"
Then she lifted the lid in one go, closed her eyes, and pouted her lips cutely, ready to listen to everyone's praise.
"..."
"..."
A brief silence.
Elina and the pigs all stared blankly.
"Nanako-sama... that..."
"What is it?" Nanako tilted her head.
"Did you put the potion somewhere else? Or..." Elina asked in astonishment.
Nanako touched her head in confusion and subconsciously looked into the container.
Nanako: "(ΩДΩ)!!!"
"My potion! Nanako's great potion! Where is it! It's gone! How is it gone!"
...
Meanwhile.
In the church.
Marshal sneered as he stroked his beard, looking at the bottle of liquid in his hand that emitted a faint purple glow.
Gently shaking it, a dreamy light emerged.
"Is this the potion that can lift the curse?"
Turning his head, looking at the servant standing respectfully beside him and the potion in the container that emitted a dreamy light, Marshal was extremely satisfied.
He was very pleased with his subordinates' efficient completion of the task he assigned.
"You did well!"
Marshal comforted.
"With these potions, we should be able to turn back those cursed in our Holy Church. Did those mages notice you?"
The servant respectfully said, "No, Marshal, everything went very smoothly; no one noticed it was our Holy Church's doing!"
Marshal laughed loudly, extremely proud.
For their Holy Church.
If they could get their hands on this first batch of potions, they could further explore the burning ruins.
This time, to explore the volcanic ruins, they sent out two main bishops.
And now.
The leader of the Temple Knights Order, Augustus, was stationed near the ruins with his powerful knights.
If this potion really worked, it would definitely help Augustus!
And for him, it would be a great merit.
"Quick! To the back hall, let's test whether this potion really has that magical effect, hahaha!"
...
【Alchemist Guild】
"It's over! It's over!" Nanako (ΩДΩ) clutched her ponytail, saying:
"It was here just now; Nanako just took a little nap, how come there's not a drop left when she woke up!"
Lynn: "..."
【What else could it be? Someone must have taken it...】
【So why am I not surprised at all? Also, considering my loli master's vigilance, this is definitely a very normal thing.】
【Just like how I take a few gold coins from her little vault every day, and the loli master won't notice.】
【But it doesn't matter, this potion isn't valuable at all; if I want, I can make a few tons of it anytime.】
On the other side.
Elina was unwilling to give up. She stared, picked up the big alchemy cauldron, and shook it hard.
Finally.
Under her focused gaze.
A drop of potion plopped into a cup.
"There's a drop left!" Elina stared, picked up the cup, and said:
"Anyway, let's have them try the effect first; if it really works, even one drop should..."
The pigs immediately opened their mouths and rushed over, vying with each other.
They really had enough of being pigs!
But just as Elina was about to experiment on them.
Lynn suddenly froze.
His gaze was immediately drawn to the unusual color of the potion.
Why does the color and smell feel a bit off?
"Wait a minute!"
Lynn hesitantly walked over and took the cup.
He sniffed it.
Frowned slightly.
Poked it,
Feeling a sense of familiarity.
He reached out and dipped his finger, then licked it.
Instantly, Lynn froze in place.
【This... this is...】
【My specially made secret formula Indian oil?!?!】

e, Immortal Body, Transmigration, System, Progression Fantasy, Academy Setting, Third-Person Perspective. Alternate Title: Transmigrating into a High Martial World and Reading Live Comments. Bad news: I transmigrated. This is a terrifying high-martial world, and my original, pathetically weak body fell into a coma and never woke up. Good news: I got a Popularity Points system upon arrival. I can see live comments and even create an unkillable alternate identity. Starting out, the alternate identity has all stats at 1. The system tells me that to grow stronger, I must participate in the plot, gain popularity points to allocate stats and grow stronger, and ultimately awaken my original body. And so, carrying my original body on my back, I officially entered Huaqing Academy, where the story's protagonist resides. From that moment on, Chen Guan kicked the original plot to pieces. Live Comments: [Doesn't anyone find this mysterious coffin guy creepy? He can summon indescribable grey misty hands.] [Is this guy a hero or a villain? What kind of onion became a spirit?] [By the way, does anyone know who's in the coffin? Shouldn't the debt for saving his life be repaid by now?] [According to unofficial histories, the person in the coffin was Chen Guan's first love. Their love was once passionate and earth-shattering, but they were separated by life and death due to worldly circumstances. What a star-crossed pair.] ... Years later, the world knew of a demon god born from a coffin, shrouded in grey mist, impossible to gaze upon directly. His foremost divine emissary often wielded a scythe, reaping lives like the god of death. As war approached, facing former friends and a boundless sea of enemies, Chen Guan merely raised his scythe. "Would you like to dance as well?"
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
ive and Ruthless] Before his transmigration, Ye Xuan was playing a game called "Severing Emotions to Attain the Dao." The game's core wasn't about leveling up by fighting monsters, but about conquering various "bad women" with wicked personalities and cold, fickle natures. There was only one method to conquer them: stay unwaveringly by their side, then die at a critical moment, driving them to madness after losing the protagonist. The higher their level of regret, the higher the player's score. To dominate the server, Ye Xuan conquered all the bad women. In the early stages, he showered them with boundless tenderness, only to choose to sacrifice himself for them later, making them weep bitterly and drown in regret. Among them were: Xia Lengyue, the unfaithful immortal wife who chased after powerful men and discarded her husband like trash. Ye Qingcheng, the Demonic Venerable of the Joyous Union Sect, who appeared pure and innocent but was, in reality, promiscuous. Wu Lingxiao, the Empress of the Great Xia Dynasty, who lusted after men and loved maintaining a harem. Bai Qiangu of the Endless Demonic Sect: a bloodthirsty mass murderer. However, when the protagonist transmigrated into the game world, he made a horrifying discovery. Eight hundred years had already passed. The bad women he had conquered had now each become deities and revered ancestors. Faced with the endless stream of toxic women coming for him, Ye Xuan could only rely on his god-tier acting skills to carve a path of survival through this world of treacherous women.
lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts... "This aura, he's definitely not an ordinary master!" "So terrifying, so terrifying." "A fight with my back against the wall, I can't take it anymore." Qi Yuan: Ah, no one told me that my awakened ability isn't telepathy, but rather the stronger my enemies imagine me to be, the stronger I truly become. PS: Zhou Hai in the first chapter is not the protagonist.
