Chapter Thirty-Five: The Second Disciple



"Others might not get into trouble as bards, but I think it wouldn't be surprising if you were dragged out and beheaded one day."

The idiot's pupils dilated in shock: "Even bards get beheaded?!"

This kid is the type who's good for nothing but getting into trouble.

Li Aili said speechlessly, "Who knows? After all, you're good at creating 'miracles'."

The centaur girl suddenly blushed, "I don't have any either~"

Li Aili: "..."

That unlucky kid...

To prevent Jasmine from getting into trouble for no reason, Li Aili felt it was necessary to find her something to do.

Thus, the "Illustrated Guide to Amazing Plants," which had lulled the ladies to sleep, finally found its purpose.

Fortunately, there were some extra textbooks in the room, so she picked one out and handed it to the centaur girl who was curiously looking around.

"If you really have nothing better to do, you can look into this."

The centaur turned to a page. "What's this?"

Seeing that the centaur girl didn't seem very interested, Li Aili coaxed, "Would you like your brother to turn around and grovel before you?"

Jasmine's eyes lit up.

"Want to go out and command a huge following?"

Jasmine nodded frantically.

Do you want to be admired and respected by thousands?

Jasmine was practically begging her to kneel down on the spot.

Li Aili ruffled Jasmine's 'dog head' and said, "Good boy, then go study this book."

"Ah! You can do that just by reading this book!?" The centaur girl could hardly believe it.

Li Aili patted the "dog's head" again and said without any guilt, "Of course."

The centaur, clutching the book, scurried out of the room. Li Aili twisted the ring and stepped into the alchemy room.

After entering the alchemy room, I went to the back garden as usual to collect today's magical plants.

No intermediate-level magical plants grew in the back garden today. Please work hard to increase your reputation.

The newly grown plants include new varieties.

After storing the collected magical plants in the refrigerator, she began to test the medicinal properties of the new plants.

Then, they were recorded one by one in the "Illustrated Handbook of Amazing Plants".

By the time we came out, the sun had already set.

Jasmine returned to her room and was so frightened by the sudden appearance of a new door that she jumped up in fright.

Suddenly, a series of loud crashes filled the room. All the porcelain on the coffee table was overturned by the horse's hooves.

Upon exiting, she encountered Li Aili, who was known for her 'house-destroying' antics: '…'

The two stood amidst shards of broken porcelain, silently gazing at each other.

"I'm genuinely curious, how did someone like you have the guts to become an assassin?"

Jasmine: "Um, I was very brave when I was an assassin!"

Li Aili: "I can see that. Then you were tied up like a crab by more than 1,600 strong men."

Jasmine: "..."

After venting her frustrations, Li Aili slumped onto the sofa, exhausted. "So, what happened this time?"

Harvesting these amazing plants every day is physically demanding, and now she's also responsible for looking after a husky! It's unbelievable...

"Ah! I've finished reading the book you gave me. It was very interesting. I was wondering if you had any more?"

Li Aili was so startled that she sat up abruptly from her deathbed and almost fell off the sofa.

"What? You've read it all?" Li Aili didn't believe it.

Anne and Lily are already very smart, but they still can't figure out how to do alchemy.

Can this idiot really get the hang of it so quickly?

"Go to that bookshelf over there and see if there are any blank questionnaires," Li Aili instructed her men.

These are the extra test papers that were previously given to the ladies.

The centaur looked at it curiously after finding it.

"If you really know it, try answering the questions above."

Then, under Li Aili's supervision, the team members took their pens and smoothly completed the entire paper in 7 minutes and 42 seconds.

Li Aili: "…………"

There's no need to grade the papers anymore; she was already looking at them while the people were answering.

All correct.

What's it like to accidentally discover a genius?

It's like randomly buying a lottery ticket for two dollars and then winning the jackpot!

"With this talent, what were you thinking to become an assassin?" Li Aili couldn't help but say.

Jasmine: "Huh?"

Seeing her adorable and silly appearance, Li Aili couldn't help but ruffle her hair again. "Alright, you've passed the alchemist's 'trial.' From today onwards, you're my second apprentice and will learn alchemy from me."

The centaur excitedly whipped its tail around, making it almost look like a propeller.

"Listen, that sounds amazing!"

She didn't know what alchemy was, but she knew that the beautiful woman living in this enormous castle was a very powerful noblewoman.

Such a noble lady should be her teacher!

Li Aili: "Yes, you are much more pleasing to the eye than your senior brother."

Jasmine asked innocently, "Ah! Do I still have my senior brother? Where did he go?"

Li Aili gave her silly apprentice's tuft of hair another rub, "He went to 'the Western Paradise' to cause trouble."

Centaur: (⊙o⊙)…That sounds amazing!!

[You have accepted a disciple, successfully spreading the art of alchemy, and gained 120 points of professional reputation.]

Li Aili raised her eyebrows slightly, not expecting that this stupid disciple would give more points than the Lord of the Magic Tower.

What does this tell us?

Could it be that Jasmine's alchemical aptitude surpasses Jupiter's?!
