"Master, master," dicine King Cauldron called out joyfully as it flew into mid-air, towards Shangguan You. Her master hadn’t entered the space for a whole day and night.
"Is everything taken care of?" Shangguan You asked, glancing at the space. Seeing it restored to its forr state, she spoke indifferently. However, the missing Spirit Fruits and various types of fish hadn’t grown back yet.
"Everything is taken care of," dicine King Cauldron replied weakly, shrinking its neck. It was well aware that its master was angry because it had damaged items within the space.
"I’ll browse through so books in the study for a while. You reflect on your actions alone." With a Teleportation, Shangguan You’s figure had already entered level 5, scanning the rows of bookshelves, looking for specific titles one by one.
"Master, aren’t you going into level 6?" dicine King Cauldron asked softly, timidly following behind Shangguan You.
"Mhm," Shangguan You humd a response, picked up an animal encyclopedia, and began to read, her body lazily reclining on the Cold Jade Bed.
She felt sothing strange within Beijing, inexplicably related to animals. Hibernation and ferocity—weren’t these animal characteristics? For them to appear in humans was strange. Could it be a mutation?
Upon hearing Shangguan You’s reply, dicine King Cauldron let out a sigh of relief. "Master, have you encountered so trouble?"
"Mhm," Shangguan You replied again, continuing to flip through the book in her hand.
"Master, I can help you."
"How can you help?"
"Master, those people are primarily violent, bloodthirsty, and prone to hibernation. Isn’t that simple? It’s just the result of being injected with mutant genes that they’ve beco like that," dicine King Cauldron asserted proudly, its lips curled.
"Mutant genes? And those three identical people, what were they injected with?" Shangguan You asked, not even lifting her head from her book, skeptical of dicine King Cauldron’s words.
The ntion of mutant genes again made Shangguan You think of Li Wanying. What is the Li Family up to now? The Health Departnt controls the latest and most terrifying viruses.
Her mind involuntarily drifted to the secret chamber beneath Li Wanying’s ho, recalling the dreadful things inside. But are these current events related to those things? The Li Family has completely withdrawn from the political arena, but is the person behind Li Wanying still controlling her?
Shangguan You fell into contemplation. Is Li Wanying still working for that person? During the month I was unconscious, what has the Li Family been up to? It seems I need to go take a look.
Considering this, Shangguan You shifted, ready to teleport out of the space and visit the Li Family.
"Master, you must believe ." dicine King Cauldron, seeing its master doubted it and was about to leave, swiftly flew forward. Its small body hovered in front of Shangguan You, blocking the book she was reading.
"Believe what about you? Of course, I believe you can concoct dicine and transform into various things. Not just items, either," Shangguan You said, her eyes narrowing as her gaze swept over dicine King Cauldron.
"Master, those violent individuals were simply injected with mutant genes, which is why they exhibit the most primitive animalistic ferocity. They crave blood and have quick tempers. Plus, the current cold winter weather also influences them, causing them to beco violent and furious," dicine King Cauldron explained hurriedly, its small heart ached with grievance, wounded by Shangguan You’s lack of trust.
"Hmm, so what now?" Shangguan You asked, standing up. She thought about the Li Family. She was eager to check on them imdiately, suspecting she might make so astonishing discoveries.
"So, Master, I have a way to cure them, and I can also identify these people," dicine King Cauldron said, making Shangguan You frown. A way to identify them?
dicine King Cauldron’s small body flew about in mid-air. As it watched Shangguan You’s uncertain gaze, it couldn’t hide its pleasure. I finally feel I have so value! I finally know I’m not entirely useless!
"Master, as long as I find the mutant genes within their bodies, I can find a solution and develop a cure. Once they take my dicine, their bodies will imdiately recover," it said.
"Oh," Shangguan You responded. Her hopes, which had been raised, sank heavily once more. Mutant genetic markers... I don’t possess the incredible ability to find the mutant genetic markers in their bodies.
"Master, what kind of attitude is that?" dicine King Cauldron cried out in dissatisfaction. It was trying to help its master solve a problem, yet its master was so dismissive.
"A very good one," Shangguan You said, her body leaning languidly on the Cold Jade Bed, her voice casual. If I could research their genes, I could beco a genetics expert. Besides, at my current age, it’s not too late to start learning about genetics.
"Master, actually, those genes are easy to find. It’s not as difficult as you think."
"Oh? How easily can they be found?"
"We just need to find their source to locate the mutant genes."
"Oh? But were those identical people also injected with mutant genes?" Shangguan You asked incredulously. If I believe dicine King Cauldron, I’d be a fool. Perhaps those who went berserk were injected with mutant genes, but how could those failed replicas be the result of mutant genes?
Hearing Shangguan You’s words, dicine King Cauldron shot up into the air within the space.
It circled in mid-air a few tis. It couldn’t leave, and outsiders couldn’t enter—this was truly troubleso. Moreover, its master had no expertise in genetics. What should I do? What should I do?
The most pressing issue now, another reason for its worry, was that its master didn’t believe it. How could it make its master trust it? Thinking about those three identical people, dicine King Cauldron flew up rapidly again, circling in place.
This was a habit of dicine King Cauldron whenever it was troubled.
"Take your ti to think. I have to step out for a bit," Shangguan You said before vanishing from the dicine King Tower. Gazing at Lin ngjie within the Crystal Coffin, Shangguan You involuntarily paused.
