Sitting straight in the receiving area, Gander and a beautiful woman watches the sky.

"I thought you would bring me to the Greenhouse? You often bragged to me about it before. Now you barely visit me and now you are being so indifferent." The woman lowered her head while pouting. Her long beautiful eyelashes made a pretty shadow in her eyes. She flutters her eyes a bit looking at Gander.

Gander puts the tea cup down. "Why did you come here?"

The woman blinks as if she didn't expect his question. No, she didn't expect the coldness in her voice.

"I need Fantasia herb. I told you if you want to propose to me, give me a ripe one. I remember you already have one. Even if it's not ripe, I will take it for now as a collateral." She grins and plays with her hair. She smiles sweetly.

Gander lowers his eyes looking at the tea in his cup. "I don't have it anymore."

"What?" The woman angrily slammed her fist on the table. "Gander! You know I need it so badly. Why didn't you go out and get another one if it died? You really! That's why I can't agree on marrying you so easily."

"Easily? I've been waiting for 200 years."

The woman snorts. "We are immortals. What is 200 years? Is that the extent of your love for me?"

"Love...huh." Gander sighs.

The woman looks strangely at Gander. "What is that sigh? What? Did you also lose the ability to love now?"

"Lose?" Gander stares at the woman.

The woman grins. "Don't think I don't know. You are slowly losing the human emotions. Happiness, fear, sadness.. I've been watching you. You don't smile, you don't cry, you don't have emotions. But at least you have love. You love me. So you are desperate to be with me. Don't tell me I am wrong." She smiles sweetly like her lips are made out of honey.

Gander frowns. "Aren't you exaggerating?"

"Hah." The woman flips her hair. Her hair scatters in the air beautifully. "You know I am right but you insist on trying to hide it. How long will you last?" She sighs. "It's not like I don't like you too. You are dedicated and you do a lot of things for me. Even I'm only a woman, I too will fall in love. But I need you to be more considerate to my needs. You should prioritize me over this sect or your disciples. I am going to be your wife someday after all." She stands up. "I need the Fantasia Herb as soon as possible. I don't care what method or how you do it. Just make it happen." She said and walked away.

Gander didn't even bother with the tea. "The tea is too bitter, Lan."

"I can only serve this tea for that type of Guest, brother."

Gander takes off his mask and sighs. "Am I really clinging to her to retain my human emotions?"

"This past few months...You are more human than all of us, though." Lan said and collected the tea set.

Gander eyes dilated.

"Isn't it the reason why 'the reason' you build a greenhouse was not invited to it?"

Gander looks at the sky. "I don't know what you are talking about."

Lan nods. "If you say so, Master."

Lan bows and walks away.

Gander frowns. "Shekki's tea..... I want to drink it now."
