Creepy Pharmacist: All my patients are scary!

Chapter 358: The Madam’s Tea Bags and Lynn’s Delivery

Of course.

This was entirely due to Miaomiao's strong request.

Because as a proper and serious doctor, Lynn would absolutely not brew such a strange and weird potion due to some subconscious, odd thoughts.

"It smells really fragrant, meow!"

Miaomiao, crouched beside the medicine cauldron, raised her nose in surprise and curiosity, sniffing the strange, cloyingly sweet pink potion, her tail swaying back and forth.

Lynn glanced at the recipe beside him.

Then, he tossed in materials like Sunflower and Deathbell, which were easily obtainable from the markets in Nightfall City.

Of course, the two most crucial ingredients in the recipe couldn't be missing either.

First.

Naturally, it was root-level biological tissue.Lynn narrowed his eyes and fished out a tightly wrapped small cloth bundle from his System Space.

Lynn cast a wary glance and said, "Miaomiao, go close the windows. We absolutely cannot let anyone notice."

Miaomiao looked curiously at the cloth bundle in his hand, then immediately nodded obediently, scurried out, warily looked outside the windows a couple of times, and swiftly closed them.

"They're closed, Brother."

Miaomiao jumped back seriously.

"Brother, is it some kind of especially precious magical ingredient, meow?"

Lynn nodded seriously. "Extremely precious, and something I obtained only by risking my life."

"What is it, meow?"

Lynn narrowed his eyes, slowly opened the cloth bundle, and then cautiously pulled out an object with some bloodstains on it.

"The Matriarch's tea bag."

Miaomiao asked curiously, "Huh?"

Lynn squinted and carefully tossed the tea bag into the medicine cauldron.

Instantly, a sacred power began to rise from the entire cauldron.

Golden light shimmered.

It was indescribable.

Miaomiao's mouth fell open in astonishment. "Such a rich sacred aura! This must be a very precious treasure from the Matriarch, meow!"

Lynn said warily, "Yes."

This was something he had stealthily stolen from the Matriarch last time, while she wasn't paying attention, during the third session of helping her suppress her curse.

He had actually asked for it.

But the Matriarch wouldn't give it.

So he had no choice but to take it secretly himself.

A tea bag from a root-level entity, and moreover from a noble twelve-winged Sacred Angel like the Matriarch—a potion brewed with this would absolutely qualify as top-grade!

[Ding! Congratulations on obtaining the special achievement: The Correct Usage of a Tea Bag. You have received 200 base experience points.]

[The Correct Usage of a Tea Bag] Special BT-oriented achievement: Logically speaking, this achievement shouldn't have been unlocked by the host, but the host still managed to unlock it through various strange methods. This indicates the host has taken a giant step towards becoming inhuman. Congratulations on obtaining permanent buffs: Sin +1, Intelligence +5, Dexterity +1, Happiness +5.

Resolutely ignoring the achievement given by the damn System.

Lynn maintained a serious and solemn expression, vigorously stirring with a spoon.

Although it's not good to say strange things during such a serious occasion.

But how should I put it...

The entire room was suddenly filled with the Matriarch's scent!

I wonder if the Matriarch would kill me if she knew I used her tea bag to brew a Catgirl Potion.

Lynn shook his head.

He quickly discarded those ominous thoughts.

He glanced at the heat. "It's about ready. Miaomiao, add a bit of your liquid."

Miaomiao was stunned. "Huh?!"

Previously, while Miaomiao was sleeping, Lynn had already thoroughly examined her inside and out.

Although Miaomiao looked like a dog, in reality, her insides still belonged to a cat.

To use a common saying, she was...

A cat in dog's clothing.

Lynn stirred vigorously. "Hurry, if you don't add it, this whole batch of potion is wasted. Quickly, any liquid will do."

Miaomiao's eyes widened immediately, her face flushing slightly. "Liquid from where, meow?"

Lynn grew impatient. "Spit!"

"Meow-patooey~"

Lynn nodded and quickly began the final process of reducing the liquid over high heat.

A few minutes later.

[Ding! Congratulations on brewing Catgirl Potion x1. Your Alchemy experience +1.]

Accompanied by a series of System prompts ringing in his ears.

Lynn seriously and skillfully sealed the pinkish potion liquid into one bottle after another. The high-quality potion was now freshly brewed.

"Mission accomplished!"

A smile appeared on Lynn's face.

Ah!

Actually, he never expected it.

That one day, he would personally brew such a strange potion that looked like it should get an alchemist executed!

There really was a bizarre, perverse sense of accomplishment in it!

Miaomiao curiously opened a bottle, sniffed it, and said intoxicatedly,

"Doctor Brother, it's so fragrant and cool, meow!"

The corner of Lynn's mouth twitched upward. "Honey. To suit your taste, I added catnip and honey."

Miaomiao widened her eyes. "Mmm!"

Lynn quickly stashed the Catgirl Potions away, keeping only one bottle out. Then, with a smile, he made a 'follow me' gesture to Miaomiao.

He steadily led Miaomiao to a room.

Lynn smiled as he opened the potion bottle, adjusted his Monocle, and said,

"Miaomiao, are you ready to become a catgirl?"

Miaomiao lifted her face, her tail wagging incessantly, and said happily, "Meow!"

Lynn then handed the potion bottle in his hand to Miaomiao, smiling. "Then drink it. Test the effect. You might fall asleep, but don't worry. When you wake up, you'll find everything has changed."

Miaomiao held the potion bottle with both paws, nodding seriously and forcefully.

Then she swallowed hard, opened her mouth somewhat nervously, squeezed her eyes shut tightly, and gulped down the sweet potion in one go.

It was very sweet and fragrant, with a cool, refreshing feeling like catnip.

After drinking it all forcefully.

She wiped the corner of her mouth, looked up gratefully, her eyes filled with starlight as she gazed at Lynn.

"Doctor Brother, will I really... really turn into a form that Brother likes?"

Lynn coughed. "Miaomiao, don't keep emphasizing whether I like it or not. Saying that gives me a terrible, wicked sense of guilt."

Miaomiao blinked.

She didn't speak.

Instead, she pattered over and hugged Lynn's leg.

She pressed her face against his leg, wearing an expression of relief and happiness.

"But... I really, truly thank you! You are the person who has been the kindest to Miaomiao, besides Mommy, in such a long time, meow."

"When Miaomiao was still a little kitten, Mommy only saw Miaomiao once and gave Miaomiao food. And Brother also only saw me once and is helping Miaomiao so kindly like this..."

"You and Mommy are both very, very good people."

"So..."

She looked up, her eyes filled with hope and longing.

"Miaomiao will also consider you the closest person in the future, as Miaomiao's most precious treasure!"

That's why she wanted to become a form that Brother liked. Because only then could she make Brother happy. Even if she was treated as a pet, it didn't matter at all, because in that case, Miaomiao would also work very hard to please Brother.

Lynn crouched down, patted her head, and winked.

"Alright, don't think about so much. Go to sleep. We'll talk after you wake up, understood?"

Miaomiao nodded vigorously, then stretched out her arms towards Lynn.

Lynn didn't know whether to laugh or cry. He had no choice but to pick her up as if she were a cat, placed her on the bed, and tucked her in.

"Sleep peacefully. It's safe here. I'll come check on you in the evening. Be good."

Miaomiao blinked, looking at him obediently, her eyes full of longing.

She kept watching the young man's back as he left.

Watching the door close gently.

Her gaze became so soft, as if a pool of autumn water was flowing in her eyes.

"I'm sorry, Brother."

"I've really troubled you..."

She whispered slowly in a low voice.

Because the reason she so eagerly requested to change her appearance was that she was truly afraid.

Afraid that Brother would see her real form, see the ugly appearance beneath this skin.

Perhaps she knew Brother definitely wouldn't mind.

But... she still didn't want Brother to see...

She stared blankly at the mirror on the wall beside her, at that canine face that would awaken her past memories.

Finally.

As if having made a firm decision, she took a deep breath, closed her eyes, stretched out a claw, and slowly reached towards the back of her own head.

Accompanied by the faint sound of skin tearing.

Sss—

She finally tore open this sinful skin with force, enduring the bone-piercing pain.

She opened those pairs of wriggling eyes and, amidst the symphony of flesh and blood and madness, stared firmly at her own twisted reflection in the mirror.

She would no longer fear herself.

...

Meanwhile.

In the void.

A creature that seemed to be a hybrid welded together from a turtle-like being and a small fold-jump beast was seen carrying a large package, speeding rapidly towards the coordinates of the City of Night.

It was as fast as lightning, charging recklessly, lawless and unrestrained.

And just as Lynn had returned to the punk hotel where he was staying, the dual-being creature crashed through space with a boom, directly smashing into Lynn's bedroom.

"Former Patient—Your—"

"Pa—"

"cka—"

It took a full ten seconds of holding it in, under Lynn's wide-eyed stare, before the Turtle King finally opened its mouth and said:

"ge."
