The Eldest Princess

"Are you Mr. Chiba?" Yaoye asked after calming down. «-(¯`v´¯)-« 6➈.ςⓄⓜ »-(¯`v´¯)-»

Qian Ye: "Didn't you already know?"

Couldn't this person say one more word? Even if they knew, couldn't they at least confirm it themselves?

"Ahem~" Yao Ye cleared his throat and continued, "That's good, that's good. You're my guest, so naturally I need to confirm. Please forgive me?"

Qian Ye remained silent, his gaze fixed on her. He had to admit that this woman was indeed alluring, a stunning beauty, but she exuded a cold and aloof aura.

Yes, there wasn't a trace of a smile on her face; Bingbing, as if she had never smiled at all.

Indeed, she hadn't laughed in a long time; she couldn't even remember the last time she had laughed.

Whether she smiles or not has nothing to do with him.

Qian Ye casually took off his mask, feeling it was impolite to talk to people while wearing one, so he had no choice but to remove it.

Seeing that he had already taken off his mask, Yao Ye didn't need to ask him to do so anymore. To her surprise, the man in front of her was so handsome.

After regaining her composure, she parted her red lips slightly and asked, "Do you know why I invited you here?"

Is she really royalty, the eldest princess, the future heir to the throne? Why is she being asked such polite questions?

He invited me here, how could he be so rude?

Although Qian Ye was angry, he wasn't that angry. Giving this woman a lesson wasn't his job, nor was it his mission there. "I don't know." ♬💢 💘♧

She blinked, unsure what to say, and simply stared at his face as if trying to see right through him.

"I heard that you have become the savior of the Snake-People Tribe, and that you can even control the wind and rain. You are also cooperating with the snake people on the Desert Oasis Plan, and have already planted trees in the Tager Great Desert, intending to turn the desert into a great forest?" Yao Ye asked tentatively.

Qian Ye: "You already know, why are you asking?"

this...

Yao Ye was a little angry. Couldn't this person speak properly?

"If that's the case, then I'd like to know, since you're human, why are you helping the snake people?"

After asking the question, she waited for his answer.

"I like it, is it any of your business?" Qian Ye was simply stating a fact; he simply liked it, without any explanation.

But Yao Ye interpreted it differently, feeling that he was being unreasonable and unfriendly.

She gritted her teeth and looked him over again. "You're only Nine-Star Dou Wang, I'd really like to know how you manage to summon wind and rain?"

This was also the main reason she called Qian Ye over; naturally, she wouldn't let this issue go unaddressed.

Qian Ye shook his head. "You don't need to know that. Just know that I have this ability. Oh, by the way, if you don't have anything else, I'll be going now."

"You dare?" Yao Ye roared from behind him. She had gone to great lengths to get him here, so how could she let him leave so easily?

Qian Ye turned around. "I'm leaving. Are you sure you can stop me?"

"You have committed insubordination; what is your punishment?" Yao Ye asked in a superior tone.

Qian Ye: "..."

This woman, she's neither his soldier nor a servant of the Jia Ma Empire, what has she done to offend him?

He didn't even want to retort, "Really? I'm a guest you invited, not your servant, and certainly not one of your Jia Ma Empire's people. Please don't speak to me with such a condescending tone, okay?"

"You... how dare you!" Yao Ye was truly angry this time, but after thinking about it, he realized that he hadn't been summoned here to cause trouble, but to get things done, so he suppressed his anger and sat down again.

"Mr. Qian Ye, then I'll be frank. I've heard that you're not only Nine-Star Dou Wang, but more importantly, you're also a formidable alchemist, and Seventh-Tier Apothecary at that. Is that true?"

So that's how it is. It seems that Jia Xingtian heard a lot about himself from the snake people. "Is it really true? Whether you believe it or not is up to you to decide?"

I?

She was surprised by his statement.

It's not that I don't trust him, it's just that there's no comparison.

Nine-Star Dou Wang) and Seventh-Tier Apothecary seem incomparable.

One can imagine that Seventh-Tier Apothecary should at least be at the Peak Dou Huang or Dou Zong level.

This wasn't just a guess; there was an actual example.

Take Gu He, Han Feng, and Yao Chen for example; they are all alchemists of around the sixth and eighth rank, with strength comparable to Dou Huang and Dou Zun.

In summary, the strength of an alchemist is roughly equal to that of a human, and even if there is a difference, it won't be significant. However, the gap between his strength and that of a pharmacist is too large, so it's no wonder she would have doubts.

Qian Ye knew what she was thinking and smiled. Sure enough, the woman in front of him was not a simple person, but a woman of great foresight, courage, and wisdom who was no less capable than any man.

Otherwise, Jia Xingtian wouldn't have chosen her to inherit the throne. She's just too inexperienced and young. Old ginger is spicier. Compared to Jia Xingtian, she's too green and doesn't have his cunning and deep-seated shrewdness at all.

Yao Ye has a short temper; she'll explode if provoked.

Qian Ye smiled without saying a word and returned to her seat, "So you just don't believe me?"

"Yes, I really don't believe you because this is unreasonable and outrageous, so can you explain this to me?" Yao Ye finally asked.

She asked the question that was on her mind.

Qian Ye simply smiled. Facts speak louder than words; Tathagata some real evidence. "If you don't believe me, why ask me?"

"I..." Yao Ye hesitated, wanting to get angry, but also feeling that it was wrong and not worth it.

But she kept this feeling inside, and it made her feel uncomfortable.

"Well then, instead of saying more, let me show you the real thing."

After hearing his words, Yao Ye looked thoughtful.

Qian Ye didn't say much, but took out a stove and placed it on the ground. This stove was quite large and very special; it was something she had never seen before.

Although she wasn't an alchemist, she knew what she was doing. Even if she hadn't eaten pork, she had seen pigs walk; it was undoubtedly an alchemy furnace.

She thought to herself, "Is this man going to refine a seventh-grade pill right in front of me?"

Seventh-grade pills are not so easy to refine; only Seventh-Tier Medicine Master can do it.

Even Seventh-Tier Apothecary cannot refine a seventh-grade pill with a 100% success rate. It takes countless failures to successfully refine just one.

As for medicinal herbs, Qian Ye has no shortage of them. Last time, she obtained quite a few rare herbs from Han Feng. Not to mention refining one seventh-grade pill, she could make a hundred.

As for the numerous Rank 7 pills awarded by the system, they were only used on the spot to demonstrate one's strength and prevent others from doubting that one's abilities were merely lip service without real skill.

"Mr. Qian Ye, you're not going to refine pills on the spot, are you?" Yao Ye asked curiously. She didn't object in her heart; on the contrary, her curiosity was piqued. She hoped that he wouldn't disappoint her. If he really was Seventh-Tier Apothecary, it would be too beneficial to her and the royal family. She would do everything she could to keep him here.
