Chapter 18 Cold Medicine

After this, in addition to being a prodigal, the thirteenth young master also became an alchemist, although still an apprentice. He didn't participate in any assessments, just studied alchemy at home.

This alchemy also gave him another way to squander money. He could justifiably buy alchemy materials, no matter how expensive they were.

This situation made many alchemists envious. Except for those royal alchemists supported by the empire and a few alchemists supported by large families, most alchemists were troubled by materials. Even if they had excellent alchemy skills, without materials, everything was in vain.

As the old saying goes, "Even a clever housewife cannot cook a meal without rice."

It was unknown whether the thirteenth young master truly had a talent for alchemy or if it was because of the strong financial support, but his alchemy skills were improving at a good pace. This made Ye Chengtian and his wife very excited, and they supported his prodigal behavior even more.

For them, as long as their son could achieve something, they didn't care how much money they spent. Anything that could be solved with money was not a problem for them.

However, although the thirteenth young master had found achievements in this area, the strange looks from others actually increased. This was because he was not yet an adult before, so some things were not very obvious, but as he grew older day by day, these things would become more and more apparent.

Based on his family background, there shouldn't be many people who would dare to bully him, but there were still some. Moreover, those who were with him were also of similar age, and at this age, they could be said to be newborn calves who were not afraid of tigers, temporarily ignoring the issue of background.

There were also some people who were jealous of the thirteenth young master, no, he should be called the thirteenth young lord now, he could no longer be considered young. They were jealous of why the thirteenth young lord was so lucky to be born into the Ye family.

Many people had this kind of thought, why could this idiot be born into the Ye family, wasting such good conditions. If it were them, they would definitely become a top figure in the empire.

This would indeed drive many people crazy with envy, and this envy would turn into resentment. An innocent man would be accused of possessing a jade only because he aroused the envy of others. The thirteenth young lord of the Ye family was in this situation, his identity was like that jade.

Of course, some people still cared for and loved the thirteenth young lord as always, one of them was Hu Niu. Hu Niu now could also be considered graceful and beautiful, the development of her beauty had basically been completed. Well, this was only the initial stage of development, she would begin the next stage of development in the future, until she reached maturity.

The beauty, uh, wrong, it was Hu Niu. Every day she did almost the same thing, and needless to say, everyone knew that basically everything revolved around their enviably lucky Ye family's thirteenth young lord.

When she woke up in the morning, she would first prepare breakfast, clothes, washing water for her young lord, prepare...

By the time she was done with all this, the thirteenth young lord basically woke up as well, comfortably dressed, washed his face, combed his hair, shaved, and had breakfast, all served by Hu Niu. Then he would sit in the courtyard and read.

Speaking of reading, the thirteenth young lord would read any book, but mainly focused on alchemy. He didn't know why, but the more he read, the more familiar it felt, whether it was alchemy arrays, materials, or alchemy formulas.

But he also felt a little strange, as if these were not things he knew. However, he didn't know what he knew, and with his personality, he naturally threw aside things he couldn't figure out. Over time, he got used to it and no longer found it strange.

While the thirteenth young lord was reading, Hu Niu would practice martial arts and battle qi in the courtyard. This was her daily homework, and her martial arts and battle qi did not come from the Ye family, but something she knew from a young age, or rather, something she knew from birth.

Among the beastmen, most races had inheritances. At birth, they instinctively possessed the abilities of their race. Tiger tribes, which were power-oriented, inherited battle qi and martial arts.

Of course, these were generally basic. To make further progress, one had to cultivate their martial arts and battle qi, and absorb the experience of others.

However, it was undeniable that these were very good for basic training. The more one practiced, the deeper their foundation would be. At this time, Hu Niu only needed to learn these basics, and she didn't need to consider anything else for the time being.

As for the ability to protect the thirteenth young lord, Hu Niu was more than enough. Among her peers, her strength was considered very strong, and coupled with the natural divine power of the tiger tribe, she was like a tiger with wings. She could handle ordinary young experts.

And she only needed to deal with these people. Others would not provoke the thirteenth young lord. Besides, even if there were really such people who came to cause trouble, naturally there would be people of the same level to come forward and solve it.

In fact, what she had to guard against was the thirteenth young lord himself. He often did some headache-inducing things, such as what was about to happen.

"Young master, what are you eating?" Hu Niu suddenly found that the thirteenth young lord was eating some strange things, which seemed to be some potions and pills.

"I'm taking cold medicine." The thirteenth young lord replied.

"You have a cold? Did you catch a cold yesterday? I'll go call the doctor right away." Hu Niu said nervously.

"No, I don't have a cold." The thirteenth young lord immediately shook his head and refused.

"You don't have a cold, then why are you taking cold medicine?" Hu Niu asked puzzled. Anyone else wouldn't understand, if they didn't have a cold, why would they take cold medicine?

And the thirteenth young lord gave an answer that left Hu Niu dumbfounded.

"This cold medicine is about to expire, it would be a waste not to eat it." The thirteenth young lord replied very seriously.

"..."

What in the world was he talking about? Who would take medicine for no reason just because it was about to expire? Hu Niu thought无力, estimating that her silly young master was the only one in the world who would do such a silly thing.

And now this silly young master was still continuing, no, wait, he was still continuing...

"Young master." Hu Niu watched as the thirteenth young lord continued to take the medicine. She immediately flew over and snatched the about-to-expire potions.

"What, do you want to eat them too?" The thirteenth young lord asked Hu Niu.

"No." Hu Niu replied angrily.

"Then give them back to me." The thirteenth young lord stretched out his hand to ask for them back.

"No." Hu Niu first sternly refused, then gently explained, "Young master, you can't just eat things like potions. These are not food, you can only eat them when you are not feeling well, otherwise you will get sick."

"What kind of sickness would I get? I'm fine." The thirteenth young lord used his own body to prove that randomly taking medicine was not a problem, of course, that was just for now.
