Dear Commander-in-Chief

Panda Novel

The moment Gu Qiqi spoke, she suddenly realized that it didn't seem good to tease a girl who had just been bullied by stinky men.

SheHe looked apologetically at Lisa, who was blushing like a small apple.

Gu Qiqi quickly changed the topic. "Lisa, do you know that witch doctors are very powerful?"

Lisa winced, then nodded sharply. "Very powerful."

Gu Qiqi poured her a cup of hot tea and pulled her to sit by the bed. "How powerful? Tell me!"

Lisa licked her lips. "I've heard… they've been undergoing very brutal selection since they were young. Swimming in the snow in the cold winter, riding horses under the scorching sun in summer, soaking in glaciers, descending volcanoes… Anyway, after very harsh selection training, one would be picked to qualify as a witch doctor…"

"That sick?" Gu Qiqi pouted.

He was just a doctor. Wasn't he talented in medicine and passionate about treating illnesses?

Lisa nodded. "They also needed to awaken the witch doctor's bloodline."

Gu Qiqi raised her eyebrows. "Isn't bloodline innate?"

Lisa said, "True born witch doctors are rare. People like these who want to learn the witch doctor's divine skills fast have to take the special spiritual medicine of the witch doctor clan and change their blood… In short, it's a very scary and painful long process waiting for the mutation in their bloodline. They have some unique skills as witch doctors…"

Gu Qiqi frowned. "If it's so troublesome, why does someone want to learn it? Isn't it good to be an ordinary doctor?"

Lisa bit her lip and shook her head. "Ordinary doctors are helpless in the face of many ailments. Neurological diseases, blood disorders, and the now-popular severe influenza and terminal cancer… these can only be cured with a witch doctor's spell. But that's a small thing. The most important thing is that a witch doctor can have the means to prolong life…"

"Life extension?"

"Yes! It means that one's life can be prolonged as long as possible!"

"Damn, then all witch doctors are old farts?"

"You could say that… but not all of them. To really master this spell, you have to be under the tutelage of the Grand Witch Doctor and the Grand Witch Doctor is even more strict when it comes to taking in disciples… He only takes the best students and then teaches them the most powerful spells. When the disciples reach adulthood, there will be a showdown. If the disciple wins, he will become the next Grand Witch Doctor. If the disciple loses…"

"What happens to the loser?"

"That means death."

Gu Qiqi was speechless. "Pervert!"

Lisa lowered her gaze. "But it's this perverse way of taking in disciples and dueling that keeps each generation of witch doctors strong and vigorous in combat. Not only are they skilled in medicine, but they're also skilled in all kinds of attack techniques and evil tricks… That's why the witch doctors have become an existence no one dares to provoke. Their status is so high that even the royal family of this country is afraid of them… If it weren't for the fact that they've always been too lazy to leave the country, I'm afraid their notoriety would have spread abroad…"

Gu Qiqi didn't comment on anything and only sighed. "You guys are really in a magical country…"

Lisa braced herself. "Actually, to tell you the truth, I'm half imperial. I'm also here to—"

Gu Qiqi smiled. "You're here for the Great Pharmacist Guild Conference, right?"

Lisa was shocked.

It was a secret that she didn't dare to say out loud but she decided to be honest because he was grateful to Gu Qiqi for saving her. She didn't expect Gu Qiqi to guess it right.

Lisa gasped. "How… how… how do you know!"
