Chapter 23: Chapter 23: No One Can Take Her Empire (23)

A month later, Qiann Yan looked at her hands, which had already recovered significantly, and clicked her tongue in wonder. The Xun’s Medical Skill truly lived up to its reputation.

Her palms had turned white, and the scars on them had faded quite a bit.

The newly grown skin no longer had calluses and felt somewhat smooth to the touch.

The rest of her body was undergoing the same obvious transformation as her hands. The scars had faded a lot, yet they were still quite noticeable. It had only been a month, and the results were already impressive.

She stood in front of the mirror, looking at the slender woman reflected in it, and couldn’t help but anticipate her appearance after full recovery. To be honest, it had been a long time since she last felt what an adult body was like.

“Round ball, do you think if I studied Xun’s Medical Books, I could heal my face when I go back?”

System 666 popped up: [If Xun’s Medical Skill is as good as they say, and there’s no other complication, I guess it’s possible.] In truth, it wasn’t very certain. Facing such a fierce host who could tear the system apart at any moment, it truly didn’t dare to make any definitive statements.

“Seems like you’re not sure.”

“I’m not sure either. The pills I got from those garbage system malls seemed useless, despite their claims of being miraculous. Garbage is still garbage, completely ineffective.”

Hearing Qiann Yan mention garbage systems, System 666 involuntarily shuddered.

Those strategists were overestimating themselves, daring to come and strategize against the host with a garbage system, not even considering their own weight.

In the end, they lost their lives, and the garbage system was scrapped. The host cleaned out the mall within it.

“Anyway, let’s give it a try.” Qiann Yan looked at the figure in the mirror, a smile on her lips, “At least it’s a chance.”

“In this world, I plan to stay a little longer, experience an adult’s body, and finish reading Xun’s Medical Books.”

“Your Majesty, the State Preceptor has arrived,” a Palace Attendant’s voice came from outside, and Qiann Yan stopped her communication with the system and walked out.

Xun Zihuai was waiting with a Jade Bowl in his hands. Qiann Yan first noticed the contents of the bowl: “What’s this? Didn’t we already apply ointment today? Why apply more?”

“This is for your face,” Xun Zihuai said, looking at Qiann Yan’s face, “It can make your skin soft and white, like a baby’s. Do you want it, Your Majesty?”

“Of course, who wouldn’t want to look better?”

“Then please, sit down, Your Majesty.”

The cool ointment spread across her face felt quite comforting, and Qiann Yan absentmindedly picked up a medical book beside her to read. Xun Zihuai applied it carefully, not getting any into her eyes.

“The State Preceptor is truly versatile, capable of anything,” Qiann Yan couldn’t help but praise, finding him quite useful and reminiscent of someone else equally reliable.

Xun Zihuai replied, “Only Your Majesty could make me do this; no one else in the world would receive such treatment. For anyone else, I wouldn’t even spare a single pill.”

“State Preceptor, is there anything you desire? You’ve worked by my side for so long and contributed greatly, yet you’ve asked for nothing besides the title of State Preceptor.”

“There’s everything I need in the Imperial Palace, nothing I want,” Xun Zihuai responded as he diligently applied the ointment, “The greatest fortune is assisting Your Majesty.”

“By the way, Your Majesty, how do you plan to handle the matter of King Ning Shan? Will you just let him run around madly in search of the Divine Doctor?”

Qiann Yan couldn’t help but glance at Xun Zihuai, “Aren’t you the one making him go mad? You’re the one who spread the rumor about the Divine Doctor, causing him to be so frantic. Now he’s in total disarray.”
