Chapter Fifteen: The Minotaur Who Applied for the Job



The constipated master of the Demon Tower gave Li Aili new alchemical inspiration.

She plunged headlong into the Alchemy Room.

Then……

They created a table full of strange and bizarre "failures".

Well, it can't be called a complete failure.

That is, the "smoothing" medicine was indeed made, but it always came with all sorts of strange effects.

For example, while it may keep your digestive system "smooth," it can also cause your head to go bald.

She felt that hair was just as important to an elderly person, so the medicine was undoubtedly a waste.

But I really can't accept giving up like this.

She dared not continue researching the "unblocking" drug.

She had wasted half of the stock in the refrigerator; those were materials that money couldn't buy.

Li Aili paced around the room when suddenly a brilliant idea flashed into her mind.

If she could make a potion that neutralizes the negative effects of a "failed product," wouldn't that be practically equivalent to success?

On a whim, Li Aili began developing a hair growth drug.

Drink one bottle of "smoothing medicine", and then drink one bottle of "hair growth medicine".

No problem!

Then, after making more than 50 more potions with various strange effects, Li Aili finally made a "hair growth potion".

Li Aili stared at the bottle in her hand, which had been identified as a "hair growth agent" with a sex-changing effect, and fell silent.

So, here's the question.

My dear Lord of the Magic Tower, to solve your intestinal problems, would you rather be bald or a woman? ^_^

Li Aili squandered all the stockpiled materials and had no choice but to leave the Alchemy House in a desolate state.

The room was pitch black.

Once inside the alchemy room, time flew by. Only then did she belatedly realize she was hungry, and her stomach began to rumble in protest.

The magic stone lamp by the bedside suddenly lit up, startling Li Aili.

Duke Cold Emerald sat on the single sofa in her bedroom with a slight frown.

"You, what are you doing here? You scared me to death!" Li Aili said, clutching her chest.

Then she noticed a plate of cold food on the small round table next to the armchair.

The Duke must have been asleep.

At this moment, he raised his hand and pinched the space between his eyebrows. "I'll ask the cook to make you a new one."

Li Aili immediately rushed towards the food, "Ah, no need! This can be eaten after it's heated up!"

Then, the Duke saw her take out an 'orange potion'.

The potion was thrown into the fireplace, and the fireplace, which had no wood at all, burst into a roaring fire. Li Aili placed the plate in front of the fireplace to heat it.

"Ah, that's good!"

"I want to buy the blue potion that can freeze fire, and this red potion that can burn."

Li Aili said, "No problem. The Ice Potion is 160 gold coins each, and the Flame Potion is cheaper at 47 gold coins each."

“I’ll take as many as you have,” the Duke said.

Seeing the food steaming, Li Aili hurriedly reached out to grab the plate, only to burn her earlobe.

The Duke got up and walked over, placing the hot plate directly on the small round table and making room for the sofa.

Li Aili looked at him with admiration.

Wow, that's really thick-skinned. No wonder it's a physical damage class with strong resistance to blows.

Li Aili sat on the sofa and began to devour her food, while the Duke stood by the window, quietly watching her eat.

After finishing a plate of food, Li Aili let out a satisfied little burp.

Arthur Cold Jade then bent down slightly, picked up the empty plate, and said, "Get some rest, my dear."

Li Aili was a little unaccustomed to the man's sudden gentleness and consideration, and said hesitantly, "Even if you're like this, I still won't give you a discount."

The Duke paused slightly, turned around, and said with a puzzled expression, "Have you never seen my vault before?"

Li Aili: "Huh?" No, is that something I can see?

Then, ten minutes later, Li Aili was taken to the Duke's private vault, looking completely bewildered.

The vault doors were wide open, and inside, gold coins were piled up into several "mountains," a dazzling sight that made one's eyes dazzle.

Some unassuming wooden crates were half-buried with gold coins.

The Duke casually lifted one of the lids, revealing it filled with top-quality gemstones of exceptional quality.

Lift another one, and inside are fist-sized magic stones of various elements.

Arthur Cold Jade looked down at Li Aili, "What are your thoughts?"

Some people research new drugs until they are penniless overnight, while others pile up "mountains" of gold coins at home.

Li Aili said with great distress, "I sold the potion too cheaply!"

Arthur Cold Jade: "..."

The vault door slammed shut in front of her, and Li Aili stared blankly at the man who had suddenly "turned his back."

No, are men's hearts also like needles at the bottom of the sea?

Perhaps because of the strong stimulation she experienced before going to sleep, Li Aili dreamed that she was sitting on a mountain of gold coins and counting them all night.

The next morning, Joanna came to the castle excitedly, chattering away as she combed her hair.

"Aaaaaah~~ That ice wall still hasn't melted!"

“Early in the morning, Edward went to find the Lord of the Magic Tower.”

Li Aili looked puzzled. "What does he want with the old man?"

Joanna: "Try to talk some sense into him."

In the mirror, Li Aili saw the "bubble" on Joanna's head:

My kind-hearted Edward was worried that the old man wouldn't be able to accept the change, so he decided to use himself as an example to explain things to him.

Imagine that scene...

Li Aili fell silent.

She felt that it was more likely that Sir Edward would anger someone to death.
