Chapter 1920 Mysterious Snake Race Lady! Unusual Stone! (1)
w.a.n.g Teng thought the food he was preparing was just average.
However, he seemed to have overestimated Zele"s cooking skills.
When Little Qing"er exclaimed that it smelled good, he felt a cold sweat break out on his back.
He could easily subdue Little Qing"er if she discovered anything. Dealing with such a young and delicate little girl wasn"t hard.
However, when he saw her somewhat pale complexion and her bright, wide eyes, w.a.n.g Teng suddenly found it difficult to carry out such an action.
He s.h.i.+fted his gaze nervously and chuckled. "Is it? Daddy has been working hard to improve his cooking skills recently."
"Yes." Little Qing"er didn"t seem to suspect anything, nodding her little head continuously as she fixed her dark eyes on the food in front of her.
She was making her own calculations. Her father"s usual cooking was terrible. Since he finally made something delicious, she shouldn"t discourage him.
"Such a little foodie!" w.a.n.g Teng chuckled inwardly, feeling relieved.
Being a foodie was good.
Foodies were the easiest to fool.
After placing the prepared food on the table, Little Qing"er couldn"t wait and climbed onto the table.
"Eat up!" w.a.n.g Teng smiled.
As he watched the young snakegirl eat, he also kept sensing the s.p.a.ce imprint he had left on Landon.
He felt relieved when he noticed that the mark didn"t move.
"Delicious! Delicious!" Little Qing"er, despite her frail appearance, had a hearty appet.i.te. She ate quickly and occasionally praised, "Daddy, your cooking has improved a lot! Keep up the good work!"
"Got it, got it!" w.a.n.g Teng shook his head with a wry smile. This little girl acted like a little adult. It was quite fun to interact with her.
This was probably their way of getting along.
After finis.h.i.+ng the meal, w.a.n.g Teng thought for a moment. He wasn"t in a hurry to act. Landon hadn"t moved so there was no point in acting now.
Instead, he began to prepare medicine for Little Qing"er, aiming to alleviate her medical condition.
w.a.n.g Teng entered the room where Zele usually prepared medicines, and a strong herbal aroma hit him as soon as he opened the door.
As an alchemist, w.a.n.g Teng was intimately familiar with the scents of various herbs.
At this moment, he could easily identify the types of medicines Zele commonly concocted based on their fragrances.
The most prominent scent was that of Cloud Serpent Gra.s.s, which was likely used to prepare medicine for Little Qing"er.
Following the scent, w.a.n.g Teng reached at a shelf and picked up a jade bottle containing three dark pills.
He took out one of them and sniffed it, instantly recognizing the blend of various medicinal herbs.
Zele was indeed a master-level poison and medicine expert. His mastery of various plants was top-notch and his concoctions were remarkable.
However, in w.a.n.g Teng"s opinion, there were still many flaws.
If he were to use his alchemical skills to prepare this medicine, its quality and efficacy would be significantly superior than what Zele had produced.
But in front of Little Qing"er, it wasn"t suitable to reveal such advanced techniques, lest she become suspicious.
Every time Zele prepared medicine, this little girl would watch closely. w.a.n.g Teng couldn"t avoid her.
w.a.n.g Teng also examined some of the remaining medicinal residues left behind by Zele"s unsuccessful attempts and sniffed them.
"What are you doing, Daddy?" Little Qing"er asked curiously, her eyes wide open.
"I"m reviewing the lessons from my failures," w.a.n.g Teng replied with a faint smile.
"But Daddy, didn"t you review it a few days ago after you finished making it?" Little Qing"er asked.
"You can never review too many times. Sometimes, unforeseen insights can emerge," w.a.n.g Teng calmly replied.
"Oh, let me have a look too," Little Qing"er leaned closer, sniffing the medicinal residue in w.a.n.g Teng"s hand. The pungent odor seemed to irritate her, making her sneeze, and she wrinkled her brow, saying, "It seems about the same."
"Hahaha…" w.a.n.g Teng couldn"t help but laugh. "If you can tell the difference, you"ll be a master."
"Hmph!" Little Qing"er huffed, feeling a bit defiant. She said, "One day, I"ll become a master as powerful as Daddy."
"That"s a big ambition. You"ll have to work hard," w.a.n.g Teng said as he ruffled her little head and chuckled.
"I will," Little Qing"er said firmly, clenching her fist with determination.
w.a.n.g Teng smiled and then activated his Real Eye to examine Little Qing"er"s body. He wanted to know what was wrong with Little Qing"er.
What?
What he saw made him slightly surprised, even more so than he expected.
Little Qing"er harbored a tremendously potent energy deep within her body, quietly lurking but exceptionally peculiar and powerful. It even carried an unusual chill. It seemed that Little Qing"er"s body was weakened due to her inability to handle this energy.
Cloud Serpent Gra.s.s, with its mild properties, enhances the physique of snake-like creatures. Since the snakemen are considered snake-like creatures, gradually strengthening Qing"er"s physique with the medicinal power of Cloud Serpent Gra.s.s to counterbalance that overpowering energy doesn"t seem like a bad idea. w.a.n.g Teng contemplated.
However, he was unsure about the nature of this energy.
w.a.n.g Teng had some doubts but hesitated to ask.
He thought for a moment and decided to use Zele"s prescription to make the medicine for Little Qing"er.
With his expertise, crafting such a relatively simple medicine was a breeze, and he successfully produced it in no time, releasing a rich medicinal fragrance.
"Daddy, the Cloud Serpent tablets you made today are much better than before," Little Qing"er cried in surprise.
