Chapter 022: The King's Command

Wang Bo looked at the Sultan with a regretful expression. At this moment, he truly could do nothing but wait until he obtained the magic lamp a month later.

The Sultan, seeing Wang Bo's expression, lowered his head and remained silent for a long time.

Then, he raised his head and said, "Jafar, I am going to strip you of your position as minister."

Wang Bo was taken aback, looking at the Sultan with a surprised expression.

At this moment, to strip his own minister of his position—what exactly was this man thinking?

"Hajin!" the Sultan bellowed.

Hajin bowed. "Your Majesty the Sultan."

"Proclaim to the entire kingdom: I summon all physicians and persons of extraordinary ability. Whoever can cure my daughter shall be granted the position of minister."

Hajin couldn't help but glance at Wang Bo, his heart stirred. "Your Majesty, the minister he…"

"Do as I say!!!" the Sultan roared.

He was old, but he was still the king, still possessing the spirit of a lion.

Wang Bo couldn't help but look at this aging man with new respect. In the plot, this man had not shown such boldness.

But now, for the sake of his own daughter, he unhesitatingly resigned from his position as minister—truly a display of great boldness and resolve.

Wang Bo was not too surprised, nor reluctant.

For him, although the minister was second only to the emperor and above ten thousand others, he did not care for the position.

He actually did not have much desire for power.

So Wang Bo promptly rose to take his leave, exited the study, and returned to his own room. However, Wang Bo had no intention of leaving the palace, for he was very eager to know what waves the Sultan's command could stir up.

You must understand, this is Aladdin's world.

This world has magic lamps and wizards; heaven knows what other strange things there might be.

Wang Bo also wanted to see it.

Soon, Hakim issued the king's order, and for a time, all of Agrabah was thrown into turmoil.

Princess Moli is sick?

Cure the princess and you can become a minister of Agrabah, second only to the king, above all others.

Holy shit, this is too good a deal.

On the first day the notice was announced, followers gathered in droves. Countless people skilled in medicine rushed to the palace, hoping to cure the princess, become a minister, and reach the pinnacle of life.

But the king was no fool. Based on the princess's symptoms, he set up several checkpoints; only those who passed these checkpoints could see the princess in person and treat her.

If one cannot even pass these checkpoints, there is no way to see Princess Jasmine.

Wang Bo had also seen these checkpoints.

The first level's challenge is this: the princess has a disease such that direct sunlight burns her. What method do you have to protect her from being burned under the sun's rays?

This is basically a common problem for vampires.

If it were modern times, someone would likely pull out something like sunscreen.

Unfortunately, the sun is practically a natural enemy for vampires. Except for vampires in a few worlds who do not fear the sun, those in most worlds would still be killed by sunlight even after applying sunscreen.

In ancient times, there was simply no such product as sunscreen.

Wang Bo was also quite curious about how they treated illnesses.

However, after reviewing several treatment plans, Wang Bo lost confidence in this group of so-called doctors.

The treatment plans these people offered were nothing more than two kinds.

The first is for internal use, the second for external application.

For ordinary ailments, treating illness is just that simple, but the problem is that Princess Jasmine is not sick—she has become a vampire, her very race has changed.

So these ordinary treatments were useless.

However, the king was not entirely resigned. Whenever he saw something promising, he would knock on Princess Jasmine's door and persuade her to give it a try.

After a period of reflection, Princess Jasmine stopped isolating herself, opened the door, and actively cooperated with the treatment, but the results were not good, and each attempt ended in failure.

Several days passed, and Princess Jasmine tried many methods, but she could never solve the problem of being sunburned. Gradually, even she herself lost confidence in finding a cure.

As for Wang Bo, after paying attention for a while at the very beginning, he stopped paying attention.

He split all his energy in two, devoting one part to the study of witchcraft, for he felt that the witchcraft of this world was truly interesting and fascinating, bringing him a great deal of pleasure.

On the other hand, Wang Bo began a special training session for Queen Anna.

To prevent Queen Anna from faltering at a critical moment, Wang Bo began instructing her in the practice of Ripple Qigong, ensuring that within a month, Anna would fully master Ripple Qigong and make breathing an instinct.

Only then could Anna kill the wounded Dracula.

If the matter should fail at the last moment, the consequences would be unimaginable.

Anna, knowing this, trained with great seriousness. Even when faced with the most arduous methods, she never uttered a single complaint. Even if she accidentally suffered a serious injury during training, there was still the Horse Talisman.

Without the extraordinary healing power of the Horse Talisman, Wang Bo might not have dared to train Anna like this.

But what moved Wang Bo was that even with the help of the Horse Talisman, Anna still got injured and still felt the piercing pain—these were unavoidable.

Yet she persevered without a word, and this earned Wang Bo's profound admiration.

To be honest, if the two were to switch places, Wang Bo would absolutely not be able to achieve what Anna had.

Wang Bo believed that he was able to achieve what he had today entirely because of good luck—being chosen by the divine artifact—and that was how he had come to possess such abilities.

If Wang Bo were made to study and practice diligently, he felt that he might really not be able to endure such hardship.

In the final analysis, he and Anna were fundamentally two different kinds of people.

One is a vampire hunter who grew up receiving bone-deep lessons since childhood.

One kind is an ordinary person who grew up in peacetime and craves comfort.

So Wang Bo admired Anna, because she had done what he himself could not. Toward people like this, Wang Bo never stinted his respect.

That day, after finishing Anna's training, Wang Bo offered a few words of encouragement and escorted the exhausted Anna back to her own palace.

After coming out of the bedchamber, the maidservant looked at Wang Bo with a gaze that had grown accustomed to his presence.

When Wang Bo first sent Anna back, the maids looked as if they had seen a ghost, and even intended to inform the king. However, when Wang Bo produced the Demon Passport, the maids calmed down.

In the face of the Demon Passport, this was nothing at all.

It's just cuckolding the king, isn't it.

I forgive you!

Of course, these were the maidservants' thoughts. Wang Bo had never laid a hand on Anna. Although Anna was very beautiful, after being tempered by Wu Zetian, Hanyue, and Yushu, Wang Bo seemed to have developed a slight resistance to feminine charms.

If Anna were willing to throw herself into his arms, Wang Bo would naturally not refuse.

But Anna didn't seem to have such thoughts, and Wang Bo wouldn't force her.
