Warlock of War: My Ares System

Chapter 337 Intermission: Madam Wu (2)



My name is Han, but you may call me Master now….” She smiled back, but it then turned into a burst of laughter as she stumbled back onto the desk. “I’m just fucking with you… call me Han, for fucks sake. I don’t care. I may be teaching you, but I still feel we’re equal.”

“Okay, Han. Then, shall we get a room?” I smiled, taking her hand in mine and reaching across the desk to grab two hair ties that Lu Bu kept around for his extremely long hair.

Especially when it was wet, that bundle of fibers and messy twigs just went everywhere, so a few hair ties weren’t uncommon for him to wear.

As I tied my hair back in a loose ponytail and she tied her hair back in a better and much neater ponytail, she squeezed my hand harder.

“You’re one crazy bastard… okay then. Lead the way,”

I woke up the next morning, my back aching and my thighs cramping just as I attempted to climb out of bed.

“Where are you going~” A sweet voice attempted to entice me from behind, but as I began to put my clothes back on, I stared back at the woman with an expressionless stare.

My face was like a sheet of paper, and the woman who looked back at me was a colorful painting, every ounce and bit of her emotions displayed on that beautiful face of hers.

“And you’re calling me crazy. How can you keep going?” I groaned, tossing the woman her clothes, causing her to deadpan almost instantly.

“Seriously? A beautiful woman offers another round, and you reject it?”

“Even succubi are easier to handle than you,” I muttered under my breath.

“What was that?” The woman responded, staring deep into my soul as if she had actually heard what I had just said.

“Nothing. Anyway, are you going to teach me anything or what? You only gave me medicine to have sex and didn’t even tell me how to make it… you’re a horrible teacher. Even the general is better than y-“

“Don’t you dare finish that sentence,” Wu glared at me, and as I rolled my eyes, she put on her clothes and quickly got ready.

“Wanna take a bath before we get going?”

“Meh, it doesn’t matter. It’s just going to be you and me in the lab anyway. I have you to myself this entire morning, and you’ll be sweating by the time you start training General Lu Bu. So, let’s not waste any time,”

As I followed Wu out of the cramped bedroom we had stayed in, the presence of a few guards met us, some looking at me with despicable stares.

I guess they didn’t receive the news of me banging their master all that well… not like I care, though.

“Have you prepared a laboratory for me?” Wu asked, and the man right in front of her nodded swiftly. “And you got all the materials I requested, right? If I find anything is off, your ass will be fighting on the front lines. Okay?” The man nodded again before walking down the hall.

We followed him out of the little hotel we stayed in, and just across the street was a small, seemingly abandoned building that was decently sized and had enough ventilation so we wouldn’t suffocate.

I could already assume we were going to be working with lots of smoke since, as soon as we entered the building, the scent of incense immediately tingled in the deepest parts of my nose.

“Alright! This equipment is pretty good!” The woman exclaimed, walking through the aisle of tables holding just about every herb and medicinal thing you could imagine. “It is a bit dusty, but it will do for now.”

She quickly dismissed the guards and grabbed a mortal with a pestle just beside it, handing it to me and then retreating back into the isle of medicine.

She looked like a kid in a candy store, reaching out towards one herb, only to retract her hand and catch a glimpse of something even more interesting.

It took a while, but she soon gathered all of her desired materials and lay them across an empty counter, taking the mortar and pestle from my hand and tossing it on the counter as well.

“Okay, I’ll teach you the very basics of Chinese medicine….” She smiled, looking at me with gleaming eyes before pointing at one of the herbs.

For what seemed to be an eternity, I listened to this woman rant on and on about different bases and reactions between various medicines, how some suppressed others while some made others much more potent.

It was pretty simple to absorb, if I had to be honest, but once she had finished explaining all of that, she then pulled out a dark purple crystal from her back pocket.

“And this is the secret ingredient that separates a normal medicine from a higher tier medicine.”

As she handed me the crystal, I took it upon the palm of my hand and blankly stared at it, feeling nothing strange from it.

It was just normal. Just purely normal, which was extremely disappointing, but just as I was about to hand it back, an aura of dark hands arose from the very center of it.

They seemed to have a limit as to how far they could reach, and judging from how calm and expressionless the woman was… she clearly wasn’t aware of such an aura.

“Where did you find this?”

“I have an entire mine that my family built a business and living around. We sell it to Chinese warlords and, of course, the emperor, who loves this substance so much that he ingests it directly.”

“Umm… That is not something he should be doing. This stuff is dangerous… it gives me a bad feeling.”

“Well, it enhances medicine to such a potent degree that without the proper additives and suppressants mixed into the medicine you’re trying to make, you could very well kill somebody. So, even if people get their hands on this substance, they can’t do much without our secret technique… and that is what I will be teaching you right now.”
