Heretic Doctor Zihou 45 She's Actually A Lovesick Fool?

Grandpa expressed that his heart could no longer take such heavy blows. It only took her two days to become an alchemist, and she managed to alchemize Grade 4 pills on her second day. Such talent was unheard of. What would she achieve if she was given more time…?

Wei Guoting forced himself to stop thinking about it as all of this was extremely unreal and unbelievable as if he was daydreaming.

There was much to gain from being an alchemist, but at the same time, it carried a lot of risks as well.

"All of you remember, do not leak a single word out of what happened today! Else, don't blame me for being ruthless!" Wei Guoting glared at Zihou for a while before s.h.i.+fting his eyes to look at everyone else around. He warned everyone with a solemn look on his face.

Both Wei Guoting and Zihou understood that it would be very easy for someone as talented as her to be targeted. Zihou knew that Wei Guoting was worried that she would never be able to rest easy again if others caught wind of her talent.

"Grandpa, don't worry, I will stay low-profile until I actually master something!" Zihou held on to Wei Guoting's sleeves, blinking, and comforted him.

"Haha, you're clearly my good granddaughter, you know best!" Wei Guoting touched her head slightly, which made her messy hair even harder to look at.

"These Purification Pills are no longer of not much use to Grandpa and Father, but if Mother consumes some, there will be beautifying effects." Zihou smiled and gave a pill to Zhao Xinrou.

As she reached out to receive the Purification pill, Zhao Xinrou had a smile on her face. "Then Mother will thank Hou-er." Zhao Xinrou then kept the pill very carefully. Not only was this pill worth a lot, but it was also something that her own daughter gave to her, so it was even more precious to her.

"Brother's body will need some purification indeed, so I shall save one for him. As for the last one, I will give it to Yer!" Her brother was still injured, so it would be a good choice for him to consume some Purification Pills.

"For me?" Yer clearly had yet to react, and she pointed at herself with a face full of shock. She could not believe that Missy would give her something so precious!

"Yes. You're a lady, after all. This can help you become more beautiful! Then, you can find a handsome man to marry!" Zihou nodded with a smile on her face, looking as if she was joking.

"Thank you, miss!" Yer blushed and excitedly reached out to take the pill. Yet, she felt troubled, as this was her first time seeing such a precious pill. A Four-Transformation pill was nothing too special, but it was still rare. This was something she had never thought of asking for, but Missy still gave one to her, which made her extremely grateful.

"What about us?" Grandpa's white eyebrows turned into a frown, and his voice sounded hurt. Wei s.h.i.+rong standing by his side also looked abandoned and hurt…

"Wait for me to alchemize the pill, okay?" Zihou rolled her eyes, and she truly felt that it was difficult to deal with a prideful Grandpa and a sullen Father.

"That's more like it!" With her promise, Grandpa felt rejuvenated, and he looked at Zihou mercifully. He then swung his sleeves around and said with utmost pride, "My girl, next time you can cause explosions anywhere in the estate, don't think too much about it, just do it!"

Zihou was speechless: "…"

Wei s.h.i.+rong was speechless: "…"

Zhao Xinrou was speechless: "…"

…

Jing De Palace.

"This d.a.m.n Wei Zihou, she's really driving me to my grave!" Sitting on her throne, Zhen Xuan gripped tightly on the hand grips till her veins almost exploded. Her thick makeup could not hide her swollen face.

"Don't be so angry, aunt. It's not worth it for someone like Wei Zihou." Zhen Xueyan consoled her from below, a hint of cunningness in her bright eyes.

"Don't be angry? How could you ask me not to be angry? I have never been so angry in my life before! If I don't make Wei Zihou that sc.u.m die a terrible death, my anger will never be appeased!" Zhen Xuan smacked the table angrily with gritting teeth.

"Oh yes, how has Kexin been recently?" After some time, Zhen Xuan began to calm herself down and asked casually, as if she realized that she had over-reacted.

"Ever since her face was ruined by Wei Zihou, sister has not stepped out of the house again in fear of being mocked!" Zhen Xueyan shook her head and looked sad.

"Mother, wuwuwu~" As Zhen Xueyan spoke, crying sounds came from outside, and you could hear it approaching together with sounds of running.

"What happened, Linger?" Zhen Xuan hurriedly stood up to hug her as she saw Chu Linger run towards her.

"It's Brother, he scolded me!" Chu Linger cried. "Ever since that day Brother was scolded by Wei Zihou, it's as if he's an entirely different person. When I went to find him today, he scolded me, and even wanted to hit me!"

"d.a.m.n it, Wei Zihou again!" Zhen Xuan clenched her jaw in anger. She felt weird that Xuan-er had not been coming around to visit Jing De Palace recently, and she just found out why!

"Mother, you must help me kill Wei Zihou, that sc.u.m! That day at Elegance Restaurant, she insulted me terribly, and even turned Brother Xuan into what he is today!" Chu Linger had tears on her face, but her eyes were ruthless.

"I must make Wei Zihou die!" Zhen Xuan decided on the spot, and her eyes were full of determination. She looked towards Zhen Xueyan. "Yan-er, Aunt knows that you're a clever person, so let me know what methods you have to deal with Wei Zihou." Afterward, she took a few steps forward, grabbed her hands and smiled nicely at her.

"Aunt, it's not that I don't have the methods!" Zhen Xueyan smiled warmly at her.

"Oh? I knew that Yan-er had many ideas, so let's talk about them…" Zhen Xuan looked at Zhen Xueyan's confident face, smiled and asked her.

"Today, I heard from Father that Lingguo estate's Cloud King is back, and the emperor is preparing a banquet to welcome him back…"

…

Mu Xuan Court.

Zihou sat on the bench underneath the sophora j.a.ponica tree staring into s.p.a.ce with a hand supporting her jaw, clearly daydreaming…

As the sophora flowers fell, an image of that night suddenly filled her eyes.

His purple eyes shone like a crystal yet dark like the night. His dark shadow and tall build made him look like a demon under the moonlight, strong and mysterious.

The man's figure was immaculate and stood confidently. Even if he simply stood there, he looked utterly impressive.

"Miss?" Yer approached her curiously and waved her hands in front of her dazed missy.

"Ah?" Zihou was shocked back to reality and her dazed vision cleared up all of a sudden. She hurriedly stopped daydreaming about him.

She looked at Yer in front of her, and then looked at the bracelet on her wrist. She suddenly felt terrible about what she was doing.

What was she doing? She lost herself while daydreaming about a man in broad daylight! Was she really so easily infatuated, but had only yet to show?

Zihou could not accept this way of thinking.

Impossible, definitely impossible! That man was simply someone who seemed suitable for her. To be strong and confident were the traits that he had already fulfilled, and now to know whether he was a clean and pure man.

Ah ah ah!

Zihou went crazy. What was she thinking about? How was his purity related to her at all? What was happening to her, that she could think of something so stupid?

That stupid man even told her his name. What Mo Yunhuang, what a terrible name!

As she looked at her Missy move as if she was having a stroke, Yer was stunned. Was Missy turning crazy?

"Yes, what did you call me for?" Zihou finally realized that she was acting crazy, stopped, cleared her throat, and looked stern.

"Someone from the palace just informed us that Lingguo estate's Cloud King has just come back, and the court is hosting a Wind Banquet just for him. The country's ministers must all partic.i.p.ate with their families."
