Chapter 182: I Will Spend the Rest of My Life Repaying You
Although the injury on Tang Zhiyun’s arm wasn’t serious, Wu Yiyao was still worried.
After the car drove out, Wu Yiyao said to Chu Luo, “Little Chu, why don’t we send Little Tang to the hospital and redress his wounds? I didn’t bandage his wounds well just now.”
Before Chu Luo could speak, Tang Zhiyun refused immediately. “No need, no need. It’s just a superficial wound. I will be fine soon.”
“I think it’s better to get a shot to prevent teta.n.u.s. It’s summertime, and wounds are most likely to get inflamed.”
Tang Zhiyun said, “No need. It is already so late. Go back early. I can always go to the school doctor’s place to have it checked.”
Chu Luo glanced at the two of them in the rearview mirror and said, “I have medicine in my bag. Senior, you don’t have to go to the hospital.”
She then gestured at Wu Yiyao. “Sister Wu, see if there’s a brown bottle and a yellow bottle in my backpack.”
Wu Yiyao quickly took her backpack and searched it. “Yes.”
“Take it back for Senior. Apply the brown one on the skin and consume the yellow one orally. I guarantee that Senior’s wound will be fully healed by tomorrow morning.”
Wu Yiyao handed the two bottles of medicine to Tang Zhiyun and said, “Little Chu is great at concocting medicine. Little Tang, you must apply the medicine internally and externally as she said.”
“Okay.” Tang Zhiyun took the bottles and smiled at her.
Chu Luo had wanted to send Tang Zhiyun back to Imperial University, but Tang Zhiyun didn’t let her. “Just send me to the train station.”
There were many subway lines from Imperial University to the city, and they were all direct. Actually, it was much faster than driving on the road.
Chu Luo thought for a moment and sent him to the nearest train station. When Tang Zhiyun got off the car, he asked Wu Yiyao shyly, “Little Wu, can we exchange contact information?”
Wu Yiyao was a little surprised.
Tang Zhiyun also felt that he was being abrupt. He rubbed his head in embarra.s.sment. “Well, I was just joking. If it is not convenient for you…”
“137x.x.xx.x.xx, my phone number.”
Tang Zhiyun froze for a moment. When he came back to himself, he took out his phone and saved her number before calling her. He said with a smile, “This is my number.”
After saying that, he said to the two of them, “Little Wu, Junior, I’ll leave first. Junior, drive slowly and be careful.”
“Got it.”
Seeing Tang Zhiyun leave, Chu Luo asked Wu Yiyao with a smile, “Sister Wu, don’t you think that Senior Tang looked a little silly just now?”
“Pfft.” Wu Yiyao laughed and said, “Not bad. He’s like a cute big boy.”
Chu Luo was amused by Wu Yiyao’s description. “Haha…”
Chu Luo only drove home after sending Wu Yiyao home.
She didn’t expect Li Yan to have come back earlier than her today.
At this moment, Li Yan was standing in the courtyard with Qin Ming beside him.
Qin Ming must have reported something to him. When Chu Luo walked in, she heard him say in a cold tone, “Make them disappear immediately.”
“Yes.”
Qin Ming left.
Chu Luo walked in and asked, “Why are you back so early?”
Li Yan walked over and took the two large bags of herbs from her hands. “I know a few big herb merchants. If you want to buy herbs, you can buy them from them directly.”
Chu Luo tilted her head and looked at the cold contour of his face. She said, “I’m just going to see if the herbs in the herb market are good. Besides… I had some gains today. It wasn’t bad meeting that boss. He asked me to try them for free.”
Li Yan looked at her sparkling eyes. He wanted to say that this was just a marketing tactic by a businessman, and that boss just happened to be good at marketing. He swallowed his words.
He believed that she knew about this.
The two of them walked into the backyard and the butler welcomed them.
Li Yan handed the two bags of herbs to the housekeeper. “Bring it to Luoluo’s refining room.”
“Okay, Master.”
Chu Luo looked at the butler’s back and narrowed her eyes as she asked Li Yan, “Do you still know where your house is?”
Li Yan’s lips curled up. “Isn’t it here?”
Chu Luo glared at him. “Shameless.”
Li Yan pulled her into his arms and made a move to kiss her.
Chu Luo quickly placed her hands on his chest and pulled a long face as she threatened, “Big baddie, if you dare to kiss me, I’ll beat you up.”
“Muack…”
……
Chu Luo blinked after a while. When she realized that he had really kissed her, she raised her hand to slap him.
At this moment, footsteps could be heard from upstairs. The butler, who had obviously helped her store the herbs, had come out.
Chu Luo nimbly wriggled out of Li Yan’s arms and took a few steps back. She straightened her slightly wrinkled clothes and acted as if nothing had happened.
When he saw her behaving like this, a smile surfaced in Li Yan’s eyes.
Chu Luo glared at him and turned to walk towards the sofa.
She sat on the sofa and took out her phone to play.
The butler came down from upstairs.
“Master, Miss Chu, dinner is ready.”
Li Yan nodded at him.
The butler went out to get someone to send dinner in.
Chu Luo was about to open the game interface when Tang Zhiyun sent her a message.
Tang Zhiyun: “Junior, go and see the news.”
Chu Luo curiously logged out of the game and opened the webpage.
The headlines read: “XX medicinal herb market’s Boss Lu has been arrested by the Food and Drug Administration for selling fake medicine and contraband pills. He has been handed over to the judiciary.”
After Chu Luo finished reading, she subconsciously turned to look at Li Yan, who was sitting beside her.
Li Yan turned to look at her at the same time, his eyes cold and deep.
“What is it?”
Chu Luo thought: ‘Maybe that person was just unlucky and got discovered.’
“Nothing.”
After saying that, she turned around and continued logging in.
Tang Zhiyun, Xie Minghai, Yu Lei, Xu Qingfeng, and w.a.n.g Mingtao were all there.
The group of them formed a team and switched to talking in the team.
As soon as they saw Chu Luo online, they immediately pulled her into the team.
[Evil Dragon Crossing the River]: “Sister Chu, I heard from Senior Tang that you met a rogue shop owner in the marketplace today. Are you okay?”
[Bai Ling]: “Do you think something will happen to me?”
[Evil Dragon Crossing the River]: “Hehe, my Sister Chu is a heroine. How can a few ordinary people be your match?”
Chu Luo got gooseb.u.mps after hearing w.a.n.g Mingtao’s bootlicking. She ignored him and spoke to Tang Zhiyun.
[Bai Ling]: “Senior Tang, look at your wound.”
After a while, [Carefree Wanderer]: “The scabs have formed.”
[Bai Ling]: “Mm, apply the medicine again before you sleep. It should be more or less healed by tomorrow morning.”
[Turbid Liquor Glutton]: “Junior, what medicine did you give Wanderer that’s so magical?”
[Bai Ling]: “Of course it’s good medicine.”
[Bai Ling]: “After Senior Tang’s arm has recovered, store those two bottles of medicine. In the future, if you have any superficial wounds, just use them directly.”
The rest of them replied in unison.
At this moment, the butler brought the servants in to serve the dishes.
Li Yan said to her, “Eat first.”
Chu Luo told them she was leaving and then left the game to eat.
While they were eating, Chu Luo suddenly thought of the question about the driver’s license and asked Li Yan, “Li Yan, do you know from which place one can obtain a driver’s license at the fastest speed?”
Li Yan tilted his head to look at her. “If you want a driver’s license, I’ll get someone to prepare one for you.”
Chu Luo blinked and smirked, about to nod.
“But…”
“Then I’d better do it myself.”
Chu Luo didn’t fall for his trick. She said, “You just have to tell me if there’s a place where I can finish all the testing in one day.”
Li Yan looked at her tense face and smiled. “No.”
“Hmph!”
Chu Luo still didn’t believe his words. Her eyes darted around and she planned to hack into the driver’s license network after dinner.
At the thought of this, she quickly finished her meal, put down her chopsticks, and ran upstairs.
Chu Luo went straight to the study room, turned on the computer, and quickly hacked into the driver’s license network. She quickly looked at the process and realized that there had to be a gap between subject two and subject three.
Initially, she had wanted to go through the formal procedure, but now, she didn’t have to.
After registering herself and issuing a series of commands, she just had to wait for the approval to have the driver’s license issued.
“Done.”
When Li Yan walked in, he happened to hear her say this.
When Chu Luo saw him walk in, she raised her chin slightly and snorted at him smugly.
That expression was obvious saying: “Do you think I can’t do what you can do?”
Li Yan’s fingers twitched a few times, but in the end, he restrained himself from grabbing her into his arms and kissing her fiercely.
After Chu Luo was done with this matter, she stood up and walked towards the refining room.
Li Yan followed behind her.
Chu Luo took out all the herbs in the bag and sorted them out. Li Yan suddenly asked her, “Can you refine medicine that can restore an old man’s bodily functions?”
“You mean medicine that can extend one’s life?”
“Mm.”
“Of course,” Chu Luo said as she took out her medicine bag. “This kind of medicine requires more medicinal herbs and a few special herbs. The refinement process is also very complicated, so preparations have to be made.”
Typically, the citizens of the Kingdom of Phoenix Skies could live up to 150 to 180 years old. The priests and the members of the royal family lived longer because the high priests had the formula for this herb that could extend their lives.
Most importantly, only the High Priest or Priestess could concoct this medicine, because it required their ability.
Chu Luo didn’t say this and Li Yan didn’t ask. He only said, “I told you before that after I was thrown into the mountains by my family, an old man saved me.”
“Mm.” Chu Luo guessed something. “The old man who saved you is experiencing rapid physical decline and his life is possibly in danger?”
Li Yan raised his hand to touch her face.
When Chu Luo reacted, her face turned red and she scolded delicately, “Big baddie, don’t touch me.”
“I just couldn’t help it.” Li Yan changed the topic and said to her sternly, “The old man who saved me is currently in danger of physical deterioration. I don’t want to owe him too much.”
When Chu Luo heard this, her eyes darted around. “If I help you extend his life, won’t you owe me a favor?”
Li Yan’s lips curled up slightly. “Then I’ll spend the rest of my life repaying you.”
