Chapter 431
"The Great Chemist?"
The four were all in shock, and Lily answered, "That's correct. That day, we went out to forage for herbs together
with our master, and we bumped into you. Our master rarely cared about other people, but for some reason, he
decided to save you." It's odd, indeed.
"Can we see The Great Chemist?" Vania asked pleadingly.
"Since he saved you, of course, he'll meet you."
Vania's eyes lit up in joy. However, before she could celebrate, Lily continued, "But he's currently developing some
medicine right now, and he'll only be available tomorrow."
"We don't have to rush things now, as long as we get to see him." Hanson comforted Vania, after which he looked
at Lily and asked in a gentle voice, "May I know your name?"

You, my friend, have stolen the beautiful lady from me. Hmph!
They only met each other for three days, so there wasn't much interaction between Vania and Lily, but Lily already
had the desire to occupy all of Vania's attention.
Seeing her stubborn behavior, Hanson raised an eyebrow. She reminded him of the babies at home. He was
probably not suited to ask for anyone's name. He had asked for names just a few times but was rejected in every
instant. Even a five-year-old had dismissed him.
Vania smiled and thought that Lily was adorable indeed, and she loved Lily to bits.
Seeing Vania's expression, Lily immediately spoke up. "Beautiful lady, you mustn't tell him my name, or I won't be
friends with you either."
Vania smiled as she nodded, promising, "Okay, I won't tell him." Then, she was a little confused. "But what should I
call you?"
Thinking for a bit, Lily said, "Since I call you 'beautiful lady', you can call me 'pretty girl'."
"All right, pretty girl." Vania could tell that Lily was one with a keen eye for aesthetics.
Just then, there was the sound of a door opening outside.
Lily said in surprise, "It's our master."
Without a second thought, Vania and Hanson immediately darted outside.
"Hm? So quick?" Realizing that they were gone, Lily followed them outside as well.
Meanwhile, The Great Chemist had emerged from his medicine-developing session and was standing upright at the
entrance. Because of his old age, he had a long beard which made him look almost immortal.
"Mr. Great Chemist," Hanson and Vania said respectfully.
The Great Chemist studied Vania with a glance, then said to them, "Come with me."
After that, he pointed at Lily. "You wait outside."
"Oh?" She looked at Vania, a little reluctant to part from her.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmInside, he sat at the main seat while the purse was sitting on the table.
Seeing the purse, Vania was about to speak. However, The Great Chemist raised his hand to stop her. "You don't
have to say anything."
Then, he placed on the table a small bottle of medicine he was holding. "Take it."
"You… This…" Vania was stunned. She hadn't said anything yet, so why had he already given her this?
The Great Chemist picked up the purse on the table, seemingly sinking in memory. "Bamboo never parted ways
with this purse before. Since he passed it to you, you can take this medicine."
"Thank you, I—"
Vania was emotional as she was about to pour out her endless thanks. She could finally save her child.
The Great Chemist interrupted her again. "However, I have a condition."
"Please, go ahead. I'll definitely agree to it." She concurred without even thinking about it as she didn't mind trading
her own life for this.
"Since we're fated to meet, I'll entrust Lily to you. She was saved by my disciples from some human traffickers, but
now my disciples are ready to leave the mountain for training. I'm advanced in age, and I only want to find a good
home for her."
