Chapter 303: Do You Have Some Courtesy?
“No.” Lou Qianxue lightly shook her head, but in the eyes of Master Huo, it was a cruel action.
“You... really didn’t think about it?”
“No.” Lou Qianxue looked calm as if she didn’t care whether Master Huo agreed or not.
The more she acted like this, the more Master Huo felt lost.
The expression on his face changed, and he gritted his teeth and agreed to her demands. “Whatever. You are so talented that it wouldn’t be a waste if the Fire Sun Cauldron is in your hands. You can take it away!”
Lou Qianxue’s mouth twitched. “Since that’s so, I shall just receive it. Also, for the medical ingredients in your hut, I want Scutellaria barbata, bellflowers...”
Lou Qianxue pointed to most of the herbs in the house without courtesy, causing Master Huo, who was already in pain, to tremble. His face turned pale.
“Little girl, y-you are too ruthless! How are you an alchemist? I think you’re more of a bandit! I spent so many years collecting these little bits of medical herbs and you want to take away so much? Do you have some basic courtesy?”
Lou Qianxue knew when to stop. Other than the medical ingredients needed to break through to the core realm, which was of higher level, the other herbs that she took were mostly within Master Huo’s accepted range.
After reporting the name of the medicines, she calmly said. “You weren’t even embarrassed to bribe me. Why would I be embarrassed to take things?”
“...” The rebuttal left Master Huo at a loss for breath. For some reason, he felt that he had provoked a big boss.
“Alright, these are all I need. Just get someone to send them over to the Prefectural Governor’s mansion afterward.”
“Are you serious? You took my things, and you want me to deliver them myself?” Master Huo’s expression fell. Didn’t I just lose a game? Why do I feel that I, a dignified fourth-grade alchemist, has suddenly become his opponent’s slave?
“I can take it by myself too.” Lou Qianxue glanced at him. “It’s just that... Are you sure you want me to go out with these things? Are you not afraid that everyone would be curious about the reason you gave me these things?”
“...” Master Huo smashed his teeth and swallowed his anger in his belly. “Okay, I’ll send it. The Prefectural Governor’s mansion, right? I will pack these things for you tomorrow... But... the Prefectural Governor’s mansion? There are indeed quite a number of outstanding geniuses in the Prefectural Governor’s mansion such as the Master and the Third Young Master. However, I have never heard of them having any geniuses in alchemy. Little girl, who are you in the Prefectural Governor’s mansion?”
“You only need to send things to Lou Qianxue of the Prefectural Governor’s mansion. You don’t have to care about other things.”
“... Little girl, I’m one of the only three fourth-grade alchemists in Tian Zhao. Even if you’re better than me, you should more or less show me some respect, okay?”
“Mmh, Master Huo.”
“... Forget it. It’s just my luck for meeting you today. Lou Qianxue, right? Qianxue, let’s go. I’ll take you to register as an alchemist. When the registration is over, I will personally send you off and make you feel proud.”
You speak as if winning to you would bring me great pride...
Lou Qianxue’s lips moved, but she did not say her thoughts aloud.
The two of them then went to register her identity as an alchemist.
After Master Huo lost to Lou Qianxue, his reputation in his eyes worsened even more. The fourth-grade alchemy master gave up on looking powerful, and he became as talkative as an ordinary old man. He also got startled easily.
When he checked the temperature of Lou Qianxue’s ‘Flame core,’ his eyes almost bulged out of their sockets. “Second-grade alchemist? You’re actually a second-grade alchemist? It turns out that you’re not only good at theoretical knowledge but also good at practical knowledge. No wonder you aren’t interested in having me as your master...”
