Chapter 18: Cold Medicines (1)

  After that, the thirteen young masters became not only a prodigal son but also an alchemist, of course still an apprentice. He didn't take part in any assessment and just studied alchemy at home.

  And this alchemy also gave him another way to squander his family's wealth, he could openly and justifiably go buy alchemy materials, no matter how expensive they were, he would still buy them.

  This situation makes many alchemists envious, except for those royal alchemists who have imperial support and a few alchemists with family backing. Most alchemists are worried about materials, even if they have extremely high alchemy skills, without materials, everything is useless.

  A good saying goes: A clever woman cannot cook without rice!

  It's unclear whether the Thirteenth Young Master truly has a talent for alchemy or if it's just due to his strong financial backing, but his alchemy skills are improving at a decent pace, which makes Ye Chengtian and his wife feel very excited and even more supportive of his extravagant behavior.

  For them, as long as their son can achieve something, no matter how much money they spend, it's not a problem at all.

  Although the thirteen little princes have achieved success in this aspect, others' strange eyes have increased instead. This is because he was not yet grown up before, so some things were not very obvious, but as he grew older day by day, these things would become more and more obvious.

  Judging from his family background, there shouldn't be many people who dare to bully him, but after all, there are still some. Moreover, those who are with him are also of similar age, and at this age, they can be said to be fearless like a newborn calf facing a tiger, temporarily ignoring the issue of background.

  There are also some people who are jealous, jealous of the thirteen young masters, no, now they should be called thirteen young men, he can't be considered small anymore. They are jealous of why the thirteen young men have such a good life and were born in the Ye family.

  Many people have this idea: why was this idiot born into the Ye family, wasting such good conditions? If it were themselves, they would absolutely be able to become a top figure in the empire.

  This will indeed make many people jealous to the point of madness, and this jealousy will turn into resentment. An innocent man bears the guilt of a precious jade, Ye Shi San Shao is in this situation, his identity is just like the He Shi Bi.

  Of course, some people still take care of and care for the Thirteen Juniors as usual. One of them is Hu Niang. The current Hu Niang can also be said to be slender and elegant, with the development of a beautiful woman basically completed. Hmm, this is just talking about the initial stage of development, and later it will start the next stage of development until maturity.

  Beautiful woman, no, wrong, it's Hu Niang, she does almost the same thing every day, and these things don't need to be said, everyone knows, basically all around our enviable Ye family's Thirteen Junior.

  In the morning, she would first prepare breakfast for her young master, lay out his clothes, prepare water for washing his face...

  After she finished all these, the Thirteen Junior basically got up, and was served by Hu Ya to dress, wash his face, comb his hair, shave, eat breakfast, and then sat in the yard reading books.

  Speaking of reading, the Thirteen Young Master reads all kinds of books, but mainly focuses on alchemy. He doesn't know why, but he feels that these things are somewhat familiar, whether it's the alchemy arrays or those materials, or even the alchemy synthesis formulas.

  But he also felt a bit strange, as if these were not things he knew himself, though he didn't know what it was that he did know. With his personality, things he couldn't think of would naturally be cast aside, and could only be cast aside. Over time, he got used to it, and no longer found it strange.

  At the time when the thirteen younger ones were reading books, Hu Dantian would practice her martial arts and aura in the courtyard. This was a task she had to do every day, and her martial arts and aura did not come from the Ye family, but rather something she had been able to do since she was young, or rather, something she could do as soon as she was born.

  In the Beastmen tribe, most of the races have a heritage, and when they are born, they instinctively possess their racial abilities. The Tiger Tribe is a powerful faction that inherits martial arts skills.

  Of course, these are all basic, and in order to achieve further results, one must go on to improve their martial skills and absorb the experiences of others.

  But it's undeniable that these are good for building foundation, the more you practice, the deeper your foundation will be. At this point, Hu Niang only needs to master these basic skills, and other things don't need to be considered for now.

  As for protecting the Thirteen Young Masters, Hu Dantian's ability was more than enough. Among her peers, her strength was considered to be very strong, and with the innate divine power of the Tiger Clan, she was like a tiger with wings added, able to handle ordinary young masters.

  And she only needs to deal with these people, others won't provoke the Thirteen Young Master, besides, even if there really are people who come to provoke him, naturally there will be people of the same level who will come out to solve it.

  What she actually needs to guard against is Shi San Shao himself. He often does things that make people's heads ache, just like what's about to happen now.

  "Master, what are you eating?" Hu Niang suddenly discovered that the Thirteenth Master was eating some strange things, which seemed to be some medicinal pills.

  "I'm taking cold medicine." Shi San Shao replied.

  "Are you catching a cold? Did you catch a chill yesterday? I'll go call the doctor right away." Hu Niang said anxiously.

  "No, I don't have a cold." Shi San Shao immediately shook his head in refusal.

  "Haven't caught a cold? Then why are you taking cold medicine?" Hu Niang asked, puzzled. Anyone else would be confused too - if she hadn't caught a cold, then why was she taking cold medicine.

  And thirteen Shao gave an answer, which made Hu Niang stunned for a moment.

  "This cold medicine is about to expire, it would be a waste if I don't take it." Shi San Shao replied very seriously.

  “……”

  What is this, who would take medicine just because it's about to expire when they're not even sick? Hu Niang thought weakly, probably the whole world only has her own silly young master who would do such a silly thing.

  And now this foolish young master is still continuing, no, wait, he's still continuing...

  "Master..." Hu Niang looked at Shi San Shao as he continued to take the medicine, and she immediately flew over and snatched away those medicines that were about to expire.

  "You want to eat too?" asked Shi San Shao, looking at Hu Dan.

  "Don't eat!!" Hu Niang replied in a bad temper.

  "Give it back to me then." Shi San Shao stretched out his hand to retrieve it.

  "No way!!" Hu Niang first sternly refused, then gently explained: "Young master, this kind of medicine can't be eaten casually. It's not food, and it should only be taken when your body is uncomfortable. Otherwise, you'll get sick from eating it."

  "What's wrong with me? I'm fine, aren't I?" The Thirteenth Young Master proved it with his own body that taking random medicine wasn't a problem, of course, only saying that for now it still isn't a problem.
