Ning Shu ate so many of these cornbreads that she was getting constipated and it always hurt a lot when she took dumps. However, the godly doctor didn’t seem to like eating meat, so there was nothing with any fat or grease at his place. Life was seriously rough.

  After having no meat for a long time, she started craving it a lot.

  Occasionally, some villagers would come to the godly doctor for treatment. Ning Shu just watched from the side as the godly doctor treated these people. Then these villagers would give him some vegetables, or a bag of flour, or a tiny piece of meat.

  Later, Ning Shu’s eyes would practically glow green as she stared at those pieces of meat. Most of the meat ended up going to her.

  The days leisurely passed just like this. Ning Shu’s relationship with the godly doctor didn’t progress one bit. They still barely talked since the godly doctor was always working inside while Ning Shu was in charge of looking after the herbs garden outside.

  Ning Shu treated taking care of the garden as her job. After looking after this garden every day, she soon memorized all the herbs. Whenever the godly doctor didn’t seem busy, she’d ask him about the special characteristics and medicinal properties of these plants.

  The godly doctor would explain, but he usually would only do it once without bothering to see if Ning Shu remembered or understood everything he said.

  The herbs in the godly doctor’s garden were all very common and easy to take care of plants that were used to treat common ailments.

  Ning Shu once asked the godly doctor why he didn’t plant some more precious plants. The godly doctor glanced at her coldly, then said mildly, precious plants require specialized conditions and care. He had no interest in taking care of finicky things.

  In addition, most illnesses only required common herbs that were in abundance.

  Ning Shu really wanted to have a heart-to-heart talk with the godly doctor about his family situation, his parents, his age, and stuff like that to close the distance between them, but the godly doctor always ignored her.

  Ning Shu felt very speechless. Why was there actually someone like this in the world?

  She no longer harbored much hope towards learning medicine and started becoming more interested in poisons. If she could make poisons, that’d be an additional safeguard she could rely on when working on tasks. With how many worlds she would have to go through, if she didn’t have methods to protect herself, failure was inevitable. Then, there would no longer exist the person called Ning Shu.

  No matter what, being alive was better than being dead.

  So when facing this godly doctor who ignored all of her attempts to befriend him, she really wanted to just kill him, lock him up, then force him to teach her.

  Hahaha, but this should just remain a fantasy. He had already used Tendons Weakening Powder on her last time, who knows what he’d use next time?

  She should just focus on learning about all the herbs in the garden.

  As she was munching on yet another rock hard cornbread, the godly doctor threw Ning Shu a book. Ning Shu hastily wiped her hands, then picked up the book to read it. “Eh? How come I don’t recognize these words?”


  “You’re holding it upside down,” answered the godly doctor coldly,

  Ning Shu showed no trace of embarrassment and calmly flipped the book over to look at the name. “Hundred Herbs Compilation.”


  Ning Shu flipped open the book and found that it was filled with information about herbal medicine. She excitedly said, “Master, thank you!”


  The godly doctor remained very cold and just turned to leave. After interacting with the godly doctor for a while, Ning Shu no longer minded his attitude. The godly doctor was always ignoring her, so she had also learned to ignore his cold expression.

  Although the book’s name was Hundred Herbs Compilation, it recorded more than just a hundred herbs and each entry was very detailed.

  Thus, when she wasn’t taking care of the garden, she would be reading the Hundred Herbs Compilation and memorizing its contents.

  From time to time, the godly doctor would quiz Ning Shu to see how much she had memorized and have her create some herbal medicine based on the book’s instructions.

  Only then did Ning Shu find out that it was actually very troublesome to make herbal medicine. There was so many things to keep in mind that her head felt like it was swelling. However, she continued to work very hard at it and didn’t hold any resentment towards the godly doctor for not teaching her medicine.

  It was enough to learn how to do the most basic things properly. In addition, there was no relationship between her and the godly doctor, so she was already very grateful that he had been willing to teach her this much.

  In reality, this was the only man out of all these male leads that Ning Shu respected. Although the other male leads had high statuses, they always seemed very free and were always flirting with Mu Yanmeng. They never seemed to be doing any work.

  However, what need did a hentai world have for logic? Humping was all that was needed.

  Ning Shu respected capable people, and the godly doctor was a very capable person. In addition, he didn’t spend all his time trying to sleep with the female lead, so he was way more normal than the others.

  It was just that he was a tad too cold, so it was hard to communicate with him.

  Ning Shu was very busy every single day. Her thoughts were filled with the contents of the Hundred Herbs Compilation and the tasks that the godly doctor had assigned.

  This was the first time she had gotten along with a male lead so well since coming to this world. In the past, if she wasn’t fighting them head on, she was busy coming up with ways to avoid being pushed down.

  As of now, she even wanted to become sworn brothers with the godly doctor, but sadly, the godly doctor’s standards were too high.
