You Must Never Leave Again

"Chloe Zhu, you are merely a spiritual healer. I can't trust you with my own health, nor with Vivian's." The Celestial Empress said. "From today onwards, you will be Leon Zane's assistant. If you succeed, I will reward Leon Zane handsomely. If you fail... Since you suggested this, all responsibility falls on you!"

Leon Zane: "Huh? Celestial Empress, this—this..."

Basically, if there's credit, it goes to Leon Zane.

If there's blame, it falls on Chloe Zhu.

He was a genuinely honest person, so he immediately spoke up.

"You keep quiet!" The Celestial Empress snapped at him, then raised an eyebrow at Chloe Zhu. "Well? Do you accept?"

She was certain Chloe Zhu would agree, just to buy time and find a way to stay in Drake Abyss.

Sure enough, Chloe Zhu nodded with a smile. "Alright! I accept."

The Celestial Empress sneered, "Fine! Then you stay here for now and continue treating us, Doctor Zhu."

As for her son, don't even think about it!

You actually think my medical skills are worse than yours?" Leon Zane looked furious.

Your skills really aren't as good as mine," Chloe Zhu replied. "Otherwise, why can't you cure the Empress?

That's because..." Leon Zane gritted his teeth. "Everyone has their specialty! I'm good at alchemy, you're good at healing. You can't just say I'm worse than you! That's not just insulting me, it's insulting my master!

What does your master have to do with this?

Think about it! You're basically saying my master is worse than your master.

Your master really isn't as good as mine!" Chloe Zhu said bluntly.

Her master is the Medicine God.

Leon Zane was silent for a moment, then said, "From now on, you're my assistant. When you see me, call me Teacher!"

Chloe Zhu: "Yes, Master Leon."

Leon Zane: "..."

He felt that being called "Master Leon" was a bit awkward, but couldn't find fault with it.

Leon Zane, why did you come along?" Evan Xiao asked.

Huh? Didn't you just tell me to come here?

I was talking to Chloe Zhu.

Leon Zane: "..."

Want me to walk you out?

No need!' He left on his own.

After he left, Evan Xiao said to Chloe Zhu, "My mother is just angry. Don't take what she said to heart."

Chloe Zhu: "Okay."

Tonight, I'll go see my father," Evan Xiao said. "If he gets better, it'll all be thanks to you."

Why?

Isn't it because of you that I got the Chaos Pearl?

Chloe Zhu smiled, "No matter what, thank you, Your Highness."

Evan Xiao suddenly grabbed her arm.

Chloe Zhu felt a bit of pain from his grip. "What's wrong?"

I told you, I'd put you under house arrest. You can't leave Drake Abyss.

I won't leave! I'll focus on treating the Empress and Princess. Otherwise, you really might have to find me a grave!

You can't leave in the future, either.

We'll talk about the future later. For now, just take me back to the hut!

In the next few days, I may need to help my father recover. I'll have Leon Zane pick you up.

Okay.

So Evan Xiao took her back to the hut.
