Heretic Doctor Zihou

“Why can’t I go in even though I’m her grandpa?” Wei Guoting felt unhappy that he was being neglected, but he was ultimately just curious.

What was she trying to do?

“Miss said, even if the heavenly king himself came, she would not let him in!” Ya-er had black lines all over her forehead. Would she not get into any trouble for saying such bold things in front of the Master?

Wei Guoting’s expression darkened the moment he heard what she said.

“This damn girl is going overboard by not allowing me in! I must go in today!” The proud master felt that he had already lost all face and could not help but burst out in anger.

“Father, Hou-er must have her own reasons for not wanting us to disturb her. Let’s go first and not cause a nuisance to her!” Wei Shirong tried his best to appease him upon seeing that he was about to go in.

“That’s right, father. Let’s not disturb Hou-er right now. What if she’s training and we push her over her limits by disturbing her?” Although Grandpa was stubborn and prideful, he cared deeply about Zihou. Zhao Xinrou knew exactly how to deal with such people.

As expected, once he heard what Zhao Xinrou said, Wei Guoting’s expression changed. He thought about it and stopped making a commotion out of it immediately. Of course, as someone prideful, even if he was dead worried about her, he acted as if he did not care. He swung his sleeves and prepared to walk off hastily. “I can’t bother to care about her!”

Hong long long~

Before he took his first step out, the loud noise of an explosion sounded from within…

The sounds of explosions were like thunder, and afterward, the wall collapsed, causing a dust storm…

Grandpa, who was about to leave earlier, turned around and shouted with his eyes and nostrils wide open, “Who said that she was training? How could she cause the courtyard to explode if she’s training?” Then, Grandpa prepared to fly straight into the courtyard.

However, before Wei Guoting even made any moves, a white shadow flew out from within.

Her pure white clothes were now totally black and had burn marks on it. The clothes’ owner’s face had black stains on it, and her hair was in a complete mess, looking as if she were a refugee.

“Miss?” Ya-er’s eyes widened and her jaw dropped. She was clearly shocked, as she could not tell whether the haggard person in front of her was really her missy.

Both Wei Shirong and Zhao Xinrou’s jaws dropped as well, and they looked as if they could not recognize their own daughter anymore.

“Stupid girl, what have you been doing?” Zihou’s “glamorous” appearance caused Wei Guoting to activate his loud, shouting abilities once again.

“Hehe, I accidentally caused the courtyard to explode…” Zihou awkwardly scratched her nose and smiled. Her nose, which was originally not stained at all, was now totally black after she touched it.

“Accidentally? You must be really powerful! What if you accidentally blow up our entire estate next time?” Wei Guoting exclaimed. Actually, what he was most worried about was Zihou injuring herself, everything else could wait.

“Of course!” Zihou nodded her head enthusiastically. She would definitely try her best to blow up the estate, but not her own estate. Rather, the Flying Cavalry General’s estate.

“Hou-er, how could you be so careless? How did you cause the explosion?” Zhao Xinrou took out a handkerchief for Zihou to wipe herself clean and worriedly asked.

“I have no idea. I was doing well with my alchemy before it suddenly exploded!” She had closed herself off in the courtyard for the past two days to engage in alchemy, and with the help of the Ancient Fragment, she had been improving rapidly. Now, anything up to the Three-Transformation Pill was easy to her, and she also found that doing this could make her feel more energetic and sensitive to her surroundings.

However, after she mastered alchemy up to there, she attempted a Grade 4 one. She made a mistake, however, and almost wasted all of the pills. Luckily, she reacted quickly and saved a few before everything was destroyed in the explosion.

“What? Alchemy?” Wei Shirong was the first to react, and he looked at her weirdly with a higher-pitched voice.

“That’s right, alchemy,” replied Zihou, calmly nodding.

“So… you failed?” Wei Shirong held his breath, and his voice seemed shaky as if he was looking forward to something. At the same time, his eyes sparkled.

“I guess you can say that…” Zihou frowned and did not deny as she had indeed failed when attempting the Grade 4 pills…

The sparkle in Wei Shirong’s eyes then slowly dimmed…

“I was still relatively successful with the Three-Transformation, but when I attempted a Four-Transformation Pill, an accident happened.” Zihou touched her own chin, looking as if she was still thinking about the reason she failed.

“What? Four-Transformation Pill?” Wei Guoting asked her out of shock, his pale face was full of surprise.

“Yes, this is the pill that I alchemized.” Zihou frowned slightly, as she held out the remaining pills that she still had in her hands to her pale family members.

The brown pill shone under the sunlight. A mild herbal scent in the air infiltrated everyone’s noses, making everyone feel fresh and rejuvenated.

“This is a Purification Pill!” Grandpa was someone who had seen a lot, and he could tell what type of pill it was just by smelling it. His face tightened, and he looked strict.

“Not bad, these are Purification Pills indeed. There were originally tens of pills in the urn, but I only managed to save three when it exploded,” Zihou said with a disappointed look on her face.

“What? Tens of pills?” Wei Shirong’s eyes, which had fizzled out earlier on, sparkled even more brightly now. At the same time, he had a shocked look on his face.

Tens of pills in an urn? What was she doing? Wei Shirong looked at Zihou’s calm face and could not help but grit his teeth. Who did not know that it was already an amazing feat to make more than ten in an urn? What was happening with the tens of pills in her urn?

Where did this pervert come from?

“When did you learn how to do this?” Wei Guoting suppressed the excitement in his heart and tried to sound as calm as possible.

“Yesterday!” Zihou continued to look calm as if she did not detect how perversely talented she was!
