Chapter 44: Unicorn Horn Powder

A beige envelope lay quietly on the table.

Hua Mi approached and picked it up.

Recipient: Bee Speaker of the Black Forest.

The term "Bee Speaker" was a transliteration.

There was no other information provided.

No sender, no postmark.

Not even an opening.

The entire envelope was seamless.This chapter's initial release occurred on the n0vell--Bjjn site.

Hua Mi was about to tear it open when suddenly an irregular small hole appeared on the envelope, and its edges glowed, as if a spark had burned through it.

Then, this small hole rapidly expanded.

Similar holes appeared in other places simultaneously, gradually connecting and forming a patchwork, causing the envelope to quickly dissolve.

What remained in Hua Mi's hand was a folded letter.

Opening it, she read a message:

"I will arrive in three days. If you wish to prepare the spatial magic, ensure you have no less than 15g of Unicorn Horn Powder within three days. Latecomers will not be tolerated. - 'Dimlight' Alys, the Grand Architect of the Jade Court."

Hua Mi was momentarily taken aback.

It wasn't Sindra?

From the signature, this "Dimlight Alys" should be the master Sindra mentioned.

No wonder she was a master, her words were so imposing.

But the title was indeed simple, an architect; it gave him an Earth-like feeling.

What surprised Hua Mi even more was that the master herself replied to the letter.

And she was coming in person.

Sindra mentioned that this master didn't like humans, and Hua Mi had expected some difficulties, but it all seemed too smooth.

"Could it be the honey I sent her worked?"

However, a mere bottle of honey, even if it was something not found in this world, probably wouldn't be enough to persuade an elven master.

His intuition told him there had to be another reason.

But, for now, he needed to focus on the task at hand.

"Piece of cake!"

Xiao Zi overheard this and couldn't help but boast.

"Do you have a plan?" Hua Mi asked with skepticism.

"Of course! I'm good friends with it, and a bit of horn powder is all we need," Xiao Zi said, hands on hips, brimming with confidence.

"Are you sure?" Hua Mi questioned.

This little one hadn't exactly left the most reliable impression on him, and he found it hard to accept that she could easily solve this problem.

"Absolutely! I'll go ask it right now!" Xiao Zi declared, eager to prove herself.

Hua Mi couldn't help but hope she would succeed, despite his doubts.

"Let's see what you've got, Xiao Zi!"

...

In the evening, the two pseudo-flower spirits returned, looking bedraggled.

Xiao Zi was covered in soot, lying on Xiao Huang's back, barely conscious, and unable to open even one eye.

She looked as if she'd just been rescued from an illegal coal mine.

"What happened?" Xiao Huang sighed and recounted the events.

In truth, it was quite simple.

Once they found the unicorn, Xiao Zi went up to it and asked for a bit of horn powder.

The unicorn refused.

Xiao Zi insisted, saying she only needed a tiny bit.

The unicorn ignored her.

Thinking it had wavered, Xiao Zi continued to persuade it.

The unicorn, fed up, summoned a lightning bolt and struck her.

"..."

Hua Mi couldn't help but say, "Aren't you supposed to be good friends?"

Friends didn't usually get zapped just for a little extra conversation.

"Looks like we're not that close..." Xiao Zi said sadly.
