Chapter 276 – Elementary Apothecary (1)

　　Nangong Liuyun smiled until sound came out: “Hard-mouthed girl, still saying you don’t care about this king. Look at you being so anxious, you just said a bunch of words, and normally, when this king wants to talk to you, it’s difficult.”

　　Su Luo also realized that she was actually anxious on his behalf. A blush from shame flashed across her face. She feigned calmness and slanted her head away, pretending as if she hadn’t heard a thing.

　　Nangong Liuyun loved this kind of bashfulness of hers to death. His expression was like the cherry blossoms in March, splendid and bright, as he deeply and charmingly looked at her. The corner of his mouth contained a light smiling expression. His Luo girl was just this stubborn and cute, truly, he liked her more and more.

　　Both figures were nestled up against each other, standing quietly, and time seemed to have stood still.

　　Time was good and still, life was peaceful.

　　This kind of ambiguous scene, it appeared as if between them, there was really some kind of relationship.

　　A frenetic feeling flashed through Su Luo’s heart, she unconsciously pushed away Nangong Liuyun. Her gaze landed on the 《Elementary Apothecary Book》 on the ground. Her eyes moved slightly and decided to divert Nangong Liuyun’s attention.

　　“Nangong Liuyun, your illness really can’t be treated?” Su Luo softly asked.

　　Nangong Liuyun looked at her deeply and charmingly, understatedly saying: “ It’s not something that can’t be treated, only these charlatans are too useless. My family’s little Luo Luo, on the other hand, is determined to treat the old illness of this king’s?”

　　“Stop rambling on incoherently, what level of Apothecary is needed to cure you?” Su Luo knew he usually wasn’t serious, even when talking about an old illness. He was still smiling like before, light as a cloud and gentle as wind.

　　“This, hum…should be at least a Grandmaster’s level?” Nangong Liuyun said somewhat uncertainly.

　　“Grand, grandmaster level?” Su Luo suddenly had a feeling of looking up at a high mountain.

　　It was important to know that Apothecary levels were divided into Elementary Apothecary, Intermediate Apothecary, Advanced Apothecary, Elite Apothecary, Master Apothecary and then after, was finally Grandmaster Apothecary (1).

　　Apothecary levels were very strict, every promotion to the next grade was extremely difficult. Now, she still hadn’t even felt her way to the doorway of an Apothecary. Wanting her to rise to the Grandmaster level Apothecary, oh heavens, in contrast being hacked by lightning seemed simpler.

　　Nangong Liuyun also clearly didn’t seem to place his hope on Su Luo’s body. However, he merely wrapped himself around her and resolutely handed over the responsibility to her: “Yes, Grandmaster Apothecary, this king’s Luo girl must strive very hard. You must strive to cure this king’s illness earlier. Speaking of which, every month, it flares up once to torture me. This king is quite impatient.”

　　Su Luo was simply speechless: “It’s better that your hope is not placed on me. The me in this lifetime might not be able to reach that height.”

　　You must know, on this entire continent, during that time, there was only Elder Zi Huo who was promoted to the Grandmaster level of Apothecary. Even though she obtained this renowned Elder’s legacy, yet how far she could walk on this path, she really didn’t know.

　　“That won’t do, you must cure this king.” Nangong Liuyun nevertheless pig-headedly insisted on relying on Su Luo no matter what, “Besides you, this king will not allow anyone else to treat it. I will just wait for you. Luo girl, for the purpose of curing this king, you must try very hard to raise your level as an Apothecary.”

　　How could there be this kind of headstrong person, though granted, even if he was picky about the doctor when seeking medical help, it was okay. But he had actually picked her who was now still a zero level damn rookie. He really, indeed, did add a huge pressure on her.

　　“You are not allowed to be this unruly!” Su Luo unhappily glared at him. This man, in front of others, was powerful and unparalleled. However in front of her, he was like an unruly child that made trouble without reason, making her feel even more speechless.

　　Nangong Liuyun’s red lips were grumbling. His bright and intelligent, large eyes pitifully and accusingly watched her….

　　Su Luo was simply about to be defeated by Nangong Liuyun being like this.

　　1) Note: the author changed the order of the Apothecary rankings, before, the Grandmaster level was before the Master. To make it less confusing, I am going to go back and change Apothecary’s level according to today’s rankings and that would make him Grandmaster Apothecary Zi Huo. So if you see me calling Apothecary Zi Huo as Master level, please let me know so I can change it to Grandmaster.
