Adorable Beasts: The Peerless Demon Girl

Chapter 2568 An Wan (Extra 8)

"Teacher!" Pharmacist Wu asked in disbelief, "You, how could you..."

Pharmacist Wu even suspected that the old man was an imposter.

But when the old pharmacist turned his gaze and found that it was his pure disciple, his smiling face suddenly turned into the old-fashioned and serious look when An Wan first saw him, "Are you here?"

"You still remember to come here?"

This tone instantly reminded Pharmacist Wu of the various "teachings" his teacher had given him.

Immediately he straightened his shoulders and said, "Teacher, I'm back."

"Come and see your sister." The old pharmacist waved his hand, "Learn from her."

Pharmacist Wu: “…”

Who was it that cursed at him when he said An Wan was a genius!

Pharmacist Wu suppressed all the thoughts in his mind. After all, it was a good thing that An Wan was favored by the teacher.

"Junior Sister." Pharmacist Wu couldn't help but tremble after he called out to himself.

He is already An Wan's father, but he is still calling her his junior sister.

An Wan was refining medicine. She looked at him with some embarrassment when she heard him say that. The word "senior brother" was indeed...

"Okay, Xiaowan, you don't have to yell. Just ignore him." The old pharmacist once again showed his partiality. "Continue to make your pills. Today's Bone Shaping Pill is ready. Tomorrow I will teach you how to make a more difficult one. With your strength, you are now ready to learn."

When An Wan heard this, her eyes suddenly brightened.

"Ah."

She nodded heavily and continued to focus all her attention on the medicine cauldron beside her.

Pharmacist Wu also wanted to know An Wan's current ability in refining medicine, so he immediately went to the side and watched quietly.

As he watched, the expression on his face gradually became synchronized with that of the old pharmacist beside him.

"Yes, Xiao Wan can really go a long way in our alchemy career."

"That's right." The old pharmacist was not too satisfied with An Wan. "She has excellent talent, can endure hardships, and will never be lazy. Such a person will soon become famous."

The heavy stone in Pharmacist Wu's heart was immediately put down.

Otherwise, he would be speechless facing Emperor An and the others.

Now the battlefield is full of medicines sent by An Wan. She goes to collect herbs, refines them, and then sends all the medicines over. This is An Wan’s whole life now.

Many soldiers on the battlefield were grateful to An Wan and were extremely grateful to the little princess.

In particular, An Wan is willing to use good medicines, which are life-saving.

But as Pharmacist Wu watched, he discovered something was wrong.

He observed the servants who came and went delivering things and their interactions with An Wan.

Plus An Wan's words and actions.

Suddenly he frowned, pulled his teacher aside and asked, "Teacher, why is Xiaowan even quieter than before? And she doesn't like to talk either."

The old pharmacist frowned, "Aren't all the little girls quiet?"

He didn't know the previous An Wan.

So I don’t find it strange to see An Wan now.

It's just that the voice is a little softer.

A little less talkative.

I don't like to get stuck in a crowd.

Timid and indecisive.

This had no impact on her becoming an excellent spiritual pharmacist.

Pharmacist Wu's eyes widened. "No, no, no, she wasn't like this before. Why does she seem even more timid than she was half a year ago?"

"What's wrong with being timid?" The old pharmacist became unhappy when he heard him say that.

"How can this be called cowardice? Spiritual pharmacists don't have to charge into battle, so what?"

"You still want her to fight like a warrior, holding a knife?" The old pharmacist blew his beard and glared, "If a spiritual pharmacist like Xiaowan died on the battlefield, it would be a loss for the entire country, don't you know? What? Do you really expect her to go to the battlefield?"

The old pharmacist looked as if he would slap Pharmacist Wu to death if he dared to agree.

Seeing him like this, the elderly Pharmacist Wu shrank his neck out of fear and said, "No, teacher, that's not what I meant. Emperor An and I also think that it's good for An Wan not to go to the battlefield since she is so young."

"It's just that I think the little princess's personality is..."

"Okay, get out of here!"

The old pharmacist began to become impatient. "For Xiaowan, the best way to forget the pain now is to make medicine well and save people."

"Personality or something, what's wrong with being quiet?"

"Why, because she is the daughter of Emperor An, she must be excellent in everything and have a good personality? Come on."

The old pharmacist was impatient to listen to his nonsense and sent him away before he could stay for long.

Pharmacist Wu returned to the barracks in a panic. Emperor An's eyes lit up when he saw him: "How is it?"

Pharmacist Wu recounted the entire story.

Emperor An also showed a complicated expression on his face, but he was not as anxious as Pharmacist Wu.

"The teacher is right."

"Xiao Wan... since she has chosen the path of a spiritual pharmacist, there is no need for her to rush to the front line and plan. In the final analysis, I owe her the most."

"Once we have completely suppressed the beast tide, I will make it up to her."

"With us by her side, Xiaowan will be the same as before."

Pharmacist Wu glanced at Emperor An, hesitated for a while, and said, "Teacher said that you can't change An Wan back to her former cheerful personality."

Emperor An was stunned for a moment, then smiled confidently, "No."

"Xiao Wan respects me very much."

"Although we don't spend much time together, we have a very good relationship."

Pharmacist Wu: “…” Really?

Fortunately, Emperor An has indeed controlled the mutation of the beast tide.

The worst of this disaster is over.

And under the guidance of the old pharmacist, An Wan became more and more powerful and was able to refine more and more elixirs.

Emperor An was able to return to the imperial palace more and more often.

but!

The happy scene with his daughter that he had imagined did not appear.

Their relationship remains the same.

However, An Wan's condition did not improve. After more than a year of concentrating on refining medicine, she became even more taciturn.

She still respected Emperor An.

But it will not change because of a few words from Emperor An.

The pain caused by the departure of Master Lin and the others has never gone away.

She was afraid to make a decision.

The spiritual pharmacist does not need to make a decision.

In addition to wanting to save lives, a big part of the reason why An Wan chose to become a spiritual pharmacist was also because of this secret idea.

Emperor An really couldn't bear to pull her out again and make her face the cruel reality.

None of them can give An Wan a sense of security.

This will make children more and more closed.

After the beast tide is completely resolved.

Emperor An was finally able to stay in the imperial palace for a long time.

Looking at An Wan who was becoming more and more silent.

He always felt that this was not a solution.

He still wanted to make An Wan happy.

But Emperor An tried many methods, but none of them worked.

Even An Wan is now obsessed with refining pills. Although the situation has become much more stable and peaceful, An Wan is still immersed in her previous state, refining pills madly and then sending them to those in need.

This time.

Even the old pharmacist, who loved her very much, felt that he should intervene.

Under the eaves of the imperial palace.

Emperor An brought the prepared tea to the old pharmacist and said, "Teacher, you said before that you have a way to help Xiaowan get rid of her current condition. I wonder..."

The old pharmacist waved his hand, not wanting to drink tea, "You know about the competition in Kongkong Sea, right?"

Andi was stunned for a moment, "Yeah."

Of course I know about the talent selection competition.

"Although the beast tide issue is now over, the Kui monster is still there, and the threat to us has never disappeared."

"The biggest reason why the beast tide mutated is that the monsters became more difficult to deal with."

"Fortunately, with you, Master Lin, and my disciple, the situation is still under control."

“But Master Lin is gone.”

"I am of little use now."

"As for the two of you, you both know your place. There are wolves in front and tigers behind. How many people want to take your place? If you don't train young people now, when will you train them?"

"You too, you haven't found a suitable apprentice in all these years! You are so useless!"

Emperor Andi took the scolding obediently, just confused, "Of course the competition will be held."

"But what does this have to do with Xiaowan?" An Di's brain, which was working quickly on political schemes, was stuck at this moment.

The old pharmacist looked at Emperor An with an indescribable look.

Finally, he couldn't help but say, "You really are. Don't you think about it? Your daughter is staying alone in this huge imperial palace. The only people around her are us old guys besides you."

"How lively can it be!"

"Throw her into the tournament in the Empty Sea!"

An Di's expression changed instantly. "Teacher, Xiao Wan is extremely nervous. It might not be a good idea to send her over now. What if she's in danger..."

The old pharmacist glared at him and said, "That's why you need to send it over because you're so nervous."

"There are young people over there, and they are all very capable. The people she has been around since she was a child are too outstanding, especially her father, who is too outstanding. As a result, she is unaware of her own brilliance and has suffered a great blow, losing her confidence."

"If you ask her to compete with her peers, she will know how good she is!"

"Can you become a fat man in one bite? The knot in your heart needs to be untied bit by bit."

"Once she has a certain understanding of her own talents and strengths, and has made friends, she will naturally show a different side of herself."

Some people like to be alone, some people like to be in the crowd.

But An Wan is obviously the second type of person.

But now she is living the lifestyle of the first type, which is like locking up a horse that loves to run, which is naturally not acceptable.

"As for the safety issue, if you keep an eye on it yourself, what problems can there be?"

"I will also give her some extra things that can save her life at the critical moment. We can do it quietly without letting her know."

The old pharmacist didn't think there was anything wrong with giving the treasure to his young apprentice.

It’s An Wan’s ability that she can get the treasure from him.

Is the competition fair?

There is no need for those to clamor.

There is no absolutely fair game, and sometimes, absolute fairness is also a kind of unfairness.

If the next generation of young people were to start from the same starting point, wouldn’t all the efforts of these old guys have been in vain?

In fact, the old pharmacist just looks old-fashioned.

He protects his shortcomings more than anyone else.

Emperor An quickly accepted his suggestion.

He called An Wan out of the alchemy room and told her the matter in a gentle manner.

"Competition? I can't do that!"

An Wan's expression changed as expected, "I have to make medicine here."

But Emperor An still knew his daughter well.

Upon hearing this, he immediately said, "Your teacher said that you have reached a bottleneck in refining medicine recently."

"Why not take advantage of this competition to learn from those outstanding people out there and learn how to become a qualified spiritual pharmacist."

After Master Lin’s death.

He saw the changes in An Wan and knew that An Wan's perception of herself had become seriously distorted.

But she knew.

Wanting to save people is An Wan’s weakness.

It should be said that the regret of not being able to save Master Lin and the people of that village back then has become her nightmare now.

It involves strength and saving people.

An Wan couldn't remain calm anymore.

"You also want to become more powerful and save more people, like Pharmacist Wu, right?" Emperor An said lightly.

An Wan, who had been increasingly locked in her own shell during this period, made a decision on the spot.

"Ok!"

“But I don’t want to make a big announcement about who I am.”

There's nothing you can do if someone recognizes you.

But she thought it would be best not to be recognized.

She will embarrass Andi and the others.

"I'll try my best." Emperor An agreed verbally, but in his heart he wanted more people to know An Wan's abilities.

This also helps her to open up.

The fact that An Wan agreed to enter the competition soon spread to others.

Pharmacist Wu was the happiest one.

"That's great. There will be many young spiritual pharmacists joining this competition."

"Then Xiaowan will know how excellent she is."

In fact, as long as An Wan is more confident.

It is inevitable that she will achieve outstanding results in the competition!

Pharmacist Wu has great confidence in her.

The more he thought about it, the more excited he became. After all, An Wan was her junior sister.

That night, many rare treasures were delivered to An Wan's room.

When these things were delivered, An Wan was sitting cross-legged on the ground.

He embedded pieces of gemstones of various colors into his medicine cauldron.

These gems contain abundant energy, and just a few of them can blow someone up to death.

Pharmacist Wu: “…”

At least the things he gave weren't outrageous.

"Who gave you these things?"

"Ah?" An Wan was struggling to embed gemstones on her medicine cauldron. Upon hearing this, she said without hesitation, "Daddy and teacher brought it to me."

"It's just a little thing for self-defense. Other people's parents will also prepare it for them."

"But I know that these things should be very precious."

An Wan lowered her head and stroked these things. "But I am a spiritual pharmacist. I will try my best to protect myself in the competition. I can also learn from other powerful spiritual pharmacists."

Her eyes were bright, and she seemed to believe that such a powerful spiritual pharmacist would really appear.

Pharmacist Wu shook his head in his heart, silly child, you are the most talented one!

But Pharmacist Wu did not say this out loud, so as not to put pressure on An Wan.

Early the next morning.

An Wan set off with her full luggage.

Entering the Kongkong Sea area was quite smooth.

Because she doesn't communicate with others and stays in a corner, no one cares who she is.

This also made An Wan feel relieved.

The competition was more intense than An Wan had imagined.

But the strange thing is that she never found anyone particularly powerful.

Maybe some capable people haven't appeared yet.

An Wan comforted herself in this way.
