Cold Medicine (1)

After that, the Thirteenth Young Master became an Alchemist in addition to being a prodigal son. Of course, he was still an apprentice. He didn't participate in any assessments, only studying Alchemy at home.

This Alchemy also gave him another way to be a prodigal son. He could legitimately buy Alchemy materials, regardless of how expensive they were.

This situation made many Alchemists envious. Apart from the Royal Alchemists who had the empire's support, and the few Alchemists supported by large families, most Alchemists were troubled by materials. Even if they possessed extremely high Alchemy skills, without materials, it was all for naught.

As the old saying goes, a clever housewife cannot cook without rice!

It was unknown if the Thirteenth Young Master truly had a talent for Alchemy or if it was due to strong financial support, but his Alchemy was improving at a good pace. This made Ye Chengtian and his wife very excited, which in turn further supported his prodigal behavior.

As far as they were concerned, as long as their son could achieve something, no amount of money was too much. Problems that could be solved with money were not problems at all for them.

It's just that although the Thirteenth Young Master found some success in this area, the strange looks from others increased. This was because he hadn't grown up yet, so some things weren't very obvious. However, as he grew older day by day, these things became more and more apparent.

Given his family's status, not many people should dare to bully him. However, there were still some people, and those who were with him were also of similar age. At this age, young calves are not afraid of tigers, and they tend to temporarily ignore background issues.

There were also some people who were simply jealous. They were jealous of the Thirteenth Young Master. No, he should be called the Thirteenth Young Master now. He could no longer be considered young. They were jealous of how lucky the Thirteenth Young Master was to be born into the Ye Family.

Many people had this thought: why was this idiot born into the Ye Family, wasting such good conditions? If it were them, they would definitely become top figures in the empire.

This could indeed drive many people to madness with jealousy, and this jealousy would turn into resentment. "A man is innocent, but he is guilty if he possesses a treasure." The Thirteenth Young Master Ye was in this situation; his identity was like the Heshibi jade.

Of course, some people still took care of and cherished the Thirteenth Young Master as usual. One of them was Tiger Girl. Tiger Girl had also grown into a graceful young lady. The development of a beautiful embryo was basically complete. Well, this was just the initial stage of development. She would start the next stage of development later until she matured.

Beautiful embryo, uh, wrong, it's Tiger Girl. She did almost the same thing every day, and everyone knew what these things were. They were basically all centered around our fortunately enviable Thirteenth Young Master Ye.

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

After she finished these tasks, the Thirteenth Young Master would basically be awake. He would comfortably be served by Tiger Girl as she helped him dress, wash his face, comb his hair, shave, and eat breakfast. Then, he would sit in the courtyard to read.

Speaking of reading, the Thirteenth Young Master read all sorts of books, but he mainly focused on Alchemy. He didn't know why, but the more he looked at these things, the more familiar they felt, whether it was the Alchemy Arrays, the materials, or those Alchemy synthesis formulas.

However, he also felt something strange, as if these were not things he knew. Yet, he didn't know what he knew. And with his personality, anything he couldn't figure out, he would naturally set aside. He could only set it aside, and over time, he got used to it and no longer found it strange.

While the Thirteenth Young Master was reading, Tiger Girl would practice her martial arts and battle qi in the courtyard. This was her daily homework. Her martial arts and battle qi did not come from the Ye Family; she had known them since she was young, or rather, since she was born.

Among the Orc tribes, most races had inheritances. From the moment they were born, they instinctively knew their racial abilities. Tribes like the Tiger Tribe, which focused on strength, inherited battle qi and martial arts.

Of course, these were generally basic skills. To achieve further results, one needed to further train their martial arts and battle qi and absorb the experiences of others.

However, it was undeniable that these were very good for basic training. The more one practiced, the deeper the foundation would be. And Tiger Girl only needed to learn these basic skills at this time; she didn't need to consider anything else for the time being.

As for her ability to protect the Thirteenth Young Master, Tiger Girl's was more than sufficient. Among those of the same age, her strength was considered very high. Coupled with the Tiger Tribe's innate divine strength, it made her even more formidable. She could handle ordinary young masters.

And she only needed to deal with these people. Other people would not provoke the Thirteenth Young Master. Besides, even if someone did provoke him, there would naturally be people of the same caliber to resolve the issue.

In fact, what she needed to guard against was the Thirteenth Young Master himself. He often did things that gave people headaches, just like what was about to happen.

"Young Master, what are you eating?" Tiger Girl suddenly noticed the Thirteenth Young Master eating some strange things, which seemed to be some kind of potions or pills.

"I'm taking cold medicine," the Thirteenth Young Master replied.

"Do you have a cold? Did you catch a chill yesterday? I'll go get a physician right away," Tiger Girl said nervously.

"No, I don't have a cold," the Thirteenth Young Master immediately shook his head and refused.

"You don't have a cold? Then why are you taking cold medicine?" Tiger Girl asked, confused. Anyone else would not understand why someone would take cold medicine if they weren't sick.

And the answer the Thirteenth Young Master gave made Tiger Girl stunned for a moment.

"This cold medicine is about to expire, and it would be a waste not to take it," the Thirteenth Young Master replied very seriously.

"..."

What kind of logic was this? Who would take medicine when they weren't sick just because it was about to expire? Tiger Girl thought helplessly. It was estimated that only her foolish young master in the entire world would do such a foolish thing.

And now, this foolish young master was continuing. No, wait, he was still continuing...

"Young Master..." Tiger Girl watched the Thirteenth Young Master continue to take the medicine. She immediately flew over and snatched away the medicine that was about to expire.

"What, do you want to take it too?" the Thirteenth Young Master asked, looking at Tiger Girl.

"No!" Tiger Girl replied irritably.

"Then give it back to me," the Thirteenth Young Master reached out to get it back.

"No!!" Tiger Girl first refused sternly, then explained gently, "Young Master, you can't just eat things like medicine randomly. This isn't food. You can only take it when you're not feeling well. Otherwise, you'll get sick."

"What kind of sickness? I'm fine, aren't I?" The Thirteenth Young Master used his own body to prove that taking medicine randomly was not a problem, at least not yet.
