Upon realizing that the system’s mission required her to conceal her identity and successfully transform into a white wolf, Liao Ning was overwhelmed by an intense headache. The situation had grown more complex than simply grappling with her inability to transform; her true identity as a sea demon with purifying abilities was on the brink of exposure.
With a gentle grasp, Liao Nai held Liao Ning’s hand reassuringly. “Auntie, don’t worry. I’ll ensure your safety. We will find our way back to the capital planet.”
Zhou Ye also stepped in to offer solace. “Indeed, they didn’t demand an antidote. The victim of the poisoning must be someone important. We’re not the only ones without the cure, so there must be an alternative solution.”
Davies, feeling somewhat responsible, admitted, “I blame myself for speaking too much. Even if you could create an antidote for the loyalty potion, it’s not guaranteed you’d know how to formulate another antidote. Don’t blame yourself.”
However, to everyone’s surprise, Liao Ning responded with disbelief, “I do know how to create one.”
Davies was taken aback. “You do? What do you know?”
Zhou Ling and Zhou Ye also leaned in, their eyes filled with curiosity.
Liao Ning shrugged helplessly. “I can’t be certain if it’ll work, but it’s worth a try. After all, they didn’t specify any restrictions on antidote creation.” Zhou Ye was eager to inquire further, but Zhou Ling intervened, stopping him.
“Do you require assistance?” Zhou Ling asked directly.
Recognizing the urgency of the situation, Liao Ning responded promptly, “We need golden clams, transparent jellyfish, jellyfish, green kelp, and sea raspberries. These should be available nearby. I’ll need to work on the antidote alone. You may…”
Zhou Ling nodded in understanding. “Understood. I’ll gather the ingredients you need. Is there anything else you require?”
Liao Ning thought for a moment before saying, “Prepare the ingredients. I need to make an antidote alone. You might..
She couldn’t continue speaking, but she knew she had to exercise more caution when employing her own blood this time. She felt a pang of shame for not being able to share her secrets with those around her.
“Alright, we understand,” Zhou Ye said. “We’ll head to the operating room later. You can work on the antidote here in the lounge. Just give us a call if you need anything.”
Gratefully, Liao Ning looked at them and nodded vigorously.
Zhou Ling and Zhou Ye moved swiftly, preparing all the necessary ingredients. Liao Ning, too, readied the bottles and jars for refining the components. Zhou Ling handed the items to Liao Ning and affectionately ran his fingers through her hair. He smiled and said, “I’ll be right outside. Don’t hesitate to call me if you require any assistance.”
“Okay,” Liao Ning said, her voice trembling. She hadn’t expected Zhou Ling and the others to show her such respect.
In her eagerness to secure the needed ingredients swiftly, Liao Ning closed the door and began the process of concocting the potions.
Though it was referred to as potion-making, it essentially involved purifying several ingredients and blending them in specified proportions. The crucial element was the addition of a drop of her own blood.
In truth, the formula provided by the system wasn’t overly demanding. It merely called for a single drop of her blood. Liao Ning suspected that her blood might possess detoxifying properties.
Considering that her identity as a sea demon could potentially aid those with compromised bloodlines, Liao Ning sensed that her character in this world must have a formidable background. This was likely why she was being pursued.
However, she couldn’t afford to dwell on these thoughts at the moment. Her immediate priority was to swiftly create the antidote while concealing her true identity.
Purifying the essences of various substances, particularly seafood, wasn’t a straightforward task. After eliminating the moisture content, only a limited amount of effective antidote remained. Consequently, Liao Ning spent five to six hours meticulously refining the components.
It wasn’t until dawn broke that she reached the stage of adding elven honey to the mixture. She then pricked her finger with a needle and allowed a drop of blood to fall into the concoction.
As she completed the final step, a faint medicinal fragrance immediately filled the room, its scent remarkably pleasing.
The aroma wafted beyond the confines of the airship, reaching not only the passengers on board but also drawing the attention of numerous humanoid creatures and a handful of sea demons who had congregated outside. Swiftly, Liao Ning secured the pill within a tightly sealed bag, allowing the fragrance to gradually dissipate.
As she stepped outside, Liao Nai rushed to her side. “Auntie, did you succeed? There was such a delightful scent just now. Is it from the antidote?”
Upon seeing the dark circles under the child’s eyes, Liao Ning tenderly ran her fingers through his hair.
With a proud smile, she displayed the pill in her hand. “Yes, Auntie succeeded!”
Just then, Mika’s voice resonated from outside the airship.. “Can someone from inside please come out and explain the fragrance we just experienced?”
