"Volcanic ash?" Rong Xian frowned. He turned and looked at Master Luo who nodded and replied, "There is a small volcano from here around thirty or sixty metres away. It will take some time but we can get it."
Rong Xian nodded in response and turned his attention to the woman in front of him. Ruan Chanchan seemed to be lost in her own thoughts and did not seem to be paying attention to him at all. And this did not sit well with him. He wanted her to pay attention to just him and him alone. He reached out and caught her wrist before tugging her toward him.
Startled, Ruan Chanchan turned to look at the mer who had tugged her toward him and raised a questioning brow. She could not understand why the mer was pulling and tugging her for no reason. "Your highness?"
Her voice snapped Rong Xian out of his reverie and he let go of her wrist. He said to her, "It's nothing. You want us to find volcanic ash? I will get it for you."
