Sebastian had mixed feelings as he held the special pill in his hand. "Deimante, don't you hate these kind of despicable acts? Why are you telling me to be that kind of person now?"
Blushing, Deimante replied, "This situation is different. You're now married. Even if she married you because of the order, she's now your wife and should carry out her duties as one.
"Of course, I trust your abilities as well. Given sufficient time, you'll definitely capture Lila's heart. But aren't you in a rush to make a breakthrough? So, you'll have to resort to some tricks.
"No matter what, she's your wife. You don't have to feel bad about it."
"Thanks," Sebastian said.
"That's all. Your bride is waiting for you. I won't bother you any longer," Deimante said before leaving.
Sebastian placed the pill into his storage space ring and entered the bridal bedroom, which was decorated with flowers and laces.
Lila was sitting on the bed, and she had already removed her veil.
When Sebastian wanted to approach her, she immediately barked, "Stop! Don't come near me!"
"It's our wedding night today. Let's have a toast." Sebastian poured two glasses of wine and passed one to her.
Lila sneered. "You're Sebastian Wilder, aren't you? Don't forget about our agreement."
Smiling, Sebastian answered, "In our agreement, we agreed that I'll be married into your family and won't force you for two years. In fact, I'm now your husband. Is there a problem with having a toast with me?"
"You—" Pointing a finger at him, Lila wanted to get angry. But after some contemplation, she decided to rein in her anger, and she took the wine from him instead.
They clinked glasses, and Sebastian stared at her gorgeous face as well as her inviting lips, lost in a daze.
Meanwhile, Lila's heart fluttered at his handsome features. Especially when they were so close and she could smell his breath, her heart pounded against her chest madly.
When she jerked back to her senses, she hurriedly shoved him aside.
"You're gorgeous, Lila," Sebastian praised sincerely.
On the other hand, Sebastian thought that they could live in the same bedroom and slowly nurture their relationship. Unexpectedly, Lila wanted to sleep separately with him.
But he soon straightened out his thoughts. The days ahead were long, so he didn't have to rush things now. Moreover, having his own bedroom was great because it was convenient for his future cultivation.
Sebastian checked the room after entering. It was rather spacious, and he was pleased that it was fully furnished.
Instead of going to bed, he waved his arm and retrieved the alchemy pot. After removing the lid, he placed all the ingredients he had bought into the furnace and added triple-purified water.
Triple-purified water was a special water with a high boiling point, and it was specially used for alchemy.
Next, he used his spiritual energy to activate the formations on the alchemy pot, and the temperature inside immediately started to increase.
Soon, the triple-purified water started boiling, and the various ingredients kept rolling inside. As time passed, they slowly began to dissolve.
When all the ingredients had dissolved, the clear water had turned black as well.
