Chapter 184 Magic and Potion 9
Arthur was stunned. He didn't expect Lilith to say that. He tried to ease the atmosphere: "Lilith, I just saw Nicole studying hard and wanted to give her some encouragement."
But Lilith's emotions were already running high, and she couldn't control her jealousy: "Encouragement? I think you are biased! You have never cared about me like this!"
Seeing this, Nan Xi tried to calm the conflict: "Lilith, Arthur cares about everyone. He is a warm-hearted person."
However, Nan Xi's explanation did not calm Lilith's anger, but instead made her feel like she was being pitied.
"Nicole, you don't have to pretend to be a good person here, I know what you are thinking!"
Nan Xi's eyes lit up and she slapped a truth talisman at her.
Keep going! Come on!
Lilith felt extremely wronged. She had a suffocating feeling. If she didn't say this, she would suffocate to death.
“Nicole, your husband Marcus can’t wake up anymore, and you want to go back to Arthur, right?
You are doing this now just to make Arthur sympathize with you and then fall in love with you, right?"
Arthur was stunned. He didn't expect that Lilith actually thought like this.
but……
Arthur glanced at Nan Xi secretly. Does Nicole really have expectations of him?
Nan Xi quickly denied it, "Lilith, you know, I'm married. Although Marcus can't wake up, I believe he will wake up."
Nan Xi was about to leave after she finished speaking, but Lilith stopped her.
"Nicole, don't leave. Tell me clearly, have you and Arthur rekindled your old love? Has Arthur made any promises to you?"
Nan Xi was helpless and tried to explain: "Lilith, Arthur didn't mean that. We are just friends."
But Lilith's jealousy had made her lose her mind. She said angrily: "Friend? I think his concern for you has exceeded the boundaries of friendship!"
Nan Xi stood up, ready to leave this place of trouble: "I think I should go, you guys talk slowly."
When Arthur saw Nan Xi was about to leave, he hurriedly grabbed her and said, "Nicole, don't go. This is not your fault."
Lilith saw Arthur's actions and added fuel to the fire: "See, I was right, you always stand on her side!"
Nan Xi gently broke free from Arthur's hand: "Arthur, Lilith, I really need to leave. I hope you can calm down and solve this problem."
Nan Xi left the library, leaving Arthur and Lilith there.
Arthur looked at Nan Xi's departing back, his heart filled with guilt and confusion. He didn't know how to resolve this sudden conflict.
Lilith was sulking on the side, her mood was very complicated. On the one hand, she felt ashamed of her jealousy; on the other hand, she could not control her concern for Arthur and her jealousy of Nan Xi.
Arthur looked at Lilith and felt dissatisfied for the first time.
"Lilith, when you first came here, you were in a lot of trouble. I helped you solve your problems and helped you in every way. Nicole never said anything. Now, it's Nicole's turn to be in trouble. How can you say this about her?"
Lilith was immediately furious. Arthur was so despicable. She was already angry, but he was still speaking for Nicole.
"Arthur, can't you forget her? You two were so close at the beginning, but you couldn't be together, so now you regret it?"
Arthur was disappointed. He didn't expect Lilith to have such a stubborn side.
He stood up and said, "Lilith, calm down and think about it. I think we both need to think about it. Maybe it's a mistake for us to be together."
Lilith cried, and her tears slid down her cheeks one by one like pearls that had broken off the string.
Her heart was filled with shock and pain, Arthur's words were more serious than she had imagined.
Arthur felt mixed emotions when he saw Lilith crying. He didn't mean to hurt her, but the argument just now made him feel tired, and he felt that they needed some time and space to think calmly.
"Lilith, I don't mean to hurt you."
Arthur's voice softened, and he handed Lilith a handkerchief. "We all have emotions, and maybe now is not the best time to communicate."
Lilith wiped her tears and her emotions calmed down a little, but her heart was still full of doubts and uneasiness.
"Arthur, are we really... making a mistake?"
Arthur sighed, he knew his words had hit Lilith hard and he didn't want to make things worse.
"No, Lilith, that's not what I meant. I just think we're both a little impulsive and we need to calm down and think about our relationship and our respective feelings."
After Arthur left, the library returned to peace, but Lilith's heart could not calm down.
She sat in a corner, surrounded by tall bookshelves filled with ancient books and wisdom, but her heart seemed empty.
The afternoon sun shone through the window, dappling onto her body, but she could not feel any warmth at all.
Her mind was in a mess, and she began to reflect on her own behavior. Was she really too much? Did jealousy and anxiety make her lose her mind?
As time passed, other people in the library gradually left to have dinner or continue their evening studies.
But Lilith still sat there, she had no appetite and didn't want to move. She felt confused and lonely, and didn't know what to do.

Nan Xi sat in her own little laboratory, surrounded by various magic potions and crystal balls. The air was filled with the aroma of exotic herbs and faintly flickering magical energy.
She was wearing a simple work suit, with her long hair tied casually behind her head, and she was concentrating on observing a complex magic circle in front of her.
In her hands she held a tattered magic book, its pages filled with ancient spells and symbols.
While Nan Xi was studying it carefully, he used a thin magic wand to draw corresponding magic runes in the air.
As the rune was completed, the light in the laboratory began to flicker, and the crystal ball in the center of the magic circle slowly lit up, emitting a faint blue light.
She is conducting an experiment to try to enhance the flow of spiritual energy through a specific magic circle and explore the interaction between different elements.
Magical power does not come out of thin air, but is the result of the interaction and transformation between spiritual power and the elements of nature.
Nan Xi constantly adjusted the structure of the magic circle and tried different spell combinations. She needed to precisely control the input of spiritual power and observe how it affected the stability and output of the magic circle.
Every experiment, whether successful or not, brings her understanding of magic one step further.
As the experiment progressed, Nan Xi began to try to directly connect her spiritual power with the magic circle, feeling the flow and changes of the spiritual power in the magic circle.
She closed her eyes and used her mind to sense every subtle fluctuation of energy, trying to find the key to enhance the effect of the magic.
Time passed quietly as Nan Xi concentrated. The clock tower struck midnight, but Nan Xi did not notice. Her world was filled with the magic circle in front of her and the flow of spiritual power within her.
The light in the lab flickered gently with her breathing and heartbeat, as if the entire space was in sync with her presence.
Nan Xi travels in the ocean of magic. She is full of curiosity and enthusiasm about the mutual confirmation of magic and spiritual power.
Through constant experiments and research, she tried to unravel the mystery behind the magical power.
Her concentration made her forget the passage of time and the little things happening around her.
