A Good Romance

Zhong Yangbi didn't want to say anything. He really hoped that the pill he had consumed was a mute pill or a stun pill. That way, he would be able to escape from such an awkward situation.
The problem was that this was really an age-halting pill. It would only preserve his youth and whiten his skin.
"Hey, did you guys notice? His skin seems to have become slightly whiter."
"That's right, it's even brighter."
Everyone exclaimed, especially the women. Their eyes were all shining. To them, this was even more important than advancing one or two cultivation levels.
"This is definitely an age-halting pill!"
"Even if it's not an age-halting pill, just this whitening effect alone is enough for me to take it."
"Look, he only ate such a tiny bit. It's only been a short while, but it already has such an effect. If I were to take one, how terrible would that be?"
Almost all the women turned into hungry wolves. They stared at the bottle in Zhong Yangbi's hand as if they would immediately pounce on him. Even a well-bred lady like Li Ziyue couldn't remain calm. Her breathing involuntarily became much heavier.
It could be said that if this wasn't the city lord's manor, if it wasn't for Feng Zisheng overseeing things, this place would have already been in a frenzy.
"How is it?" Feng Zisheng asked again. This time, there was a hint of displeasure in his tone.
F * ck, he dared to let the city lord ask him twice?
Zhong Yangbi quivered, and he finally came back to his senses. He couldn't help but smile bitterly and say, "This is indeed an age-halting pill."
Even if he was lying now, as long as he called another alchemist to appraise it, he would still be able to come to the correct conclusion. If he dared to lie to Feng Zisheng, then his end would be very, very tragic.
"Then why did you immediately bite it off as fake?" Feng Zisheng asked.
Zhong Yangbi was speechless. Previously, he had analyzed so much and was certain that this was a fake pill. Now that it was proven to be real, how was he supposed to explain himself? He thought for a long time before saying, "Vice-captain Ling has a close personal relationship with my master. Perhaps my master gifted it to him."
"Since you knew of such a relationship, why did you insist earlier?" Feng Zisheng asked indifferently. "Furthermore, since he is your master's friend, why did you lose your respect? There's something wrong with your conduct."
This last sentence was a little heavy. If he was evaluated by the City Lord as a "problematic person", would the Alchemy Association still dare to focus on nurturing him?
Although alchemists were very special, and the entire group was managed by the Alchemist Guild Headquarters, who would dare to go against Feng Zisheng in the small territory of Hidden Tiger City?
Zhong Yangbi's legs went soft, and he knelt down. His face was pale, and he seemed to have lost his soul.
Feng Zisheng casually made a grabbing motion, and the pill bottle in Zhong Yangbi's hand flew back into his hand. He then handed it to his beloved daughter, "You have to thank Little Han, this gift is very precious."
Little Han
Everyone sucked in a breath of cold air. When had the City Lord ever called a junior so intimately?
From tomorrow onwards, no, from now onwards, Ling Han would no longer be an ordinary vice captain of the Black Green Banner, but a favored person in front of the city lord.
They couldn't understand. Was it because Ling Han offered a bottle of Face Retaining Pills?
"Although Miss Yu Feng will have a great advantage when she marries into the palace in the future, she can be bought every other month. There's no need to value her so much, right?"
"I really don't understand."
Everyone was shocked. This was too hard for them to accept.
Feng Ruoxian, however, bowed slightly towards Ling Han, "Thank you, Vice Captain Ling."
"You're welcome." Ling Han cupped his hands in return.
He walked back, and saw that everyone's mouth was wide open, as if a large bun could be stuffed inside. Only Pan Hu gave him a thumbs-up.
Young Master Han was really awesome.
Ling Han had just returned to his seat when he saw a young miss and a pretty lady coming over to purchase Face Retaining Pills from him.
For women, every minute of their youth was slipping away, so even though they knew that the Face Retaining Pills would be on the market next month, they still couldn't help but want to get them one day earlier.
Moreover, the Face Retaining Pills definitely couldn't be mass-produced. What if the supply was insufficient?
Thus, the person who got them first would be able to retain their youth first.
Ling Han then said that the pills were refined by Mo Guohao, and he only had ten of them, which he had already given to Feng Ruoxian. It just so happened that Zhong Yangbi had found such an excuse for him, so he effortlessly pushed all the blame onto Mo Guohao.
As for whether the doors of the Compassionate Heart Medicinal Hall would be broken tomorrow, that wasn't something that Ling Han needed to consider.
After drinking the wine and giving the gifts, Ling Han quickly went to bid farewell to Feng Ruoxian.
"Miss Feng, can I have a small request?" Ling Han suddenly turned back after taking two steps.
"What request?" Feng Ruoxian looked at Ling Han with interest. This man was really different from the rest, and very interesting.
Ling Han cracked a smile, "I want to ask for something from Miss Feng."
When he said this, everyone was shocked and stunned.
Ask for something from Miss Feng?
Hiss, are you flirting with the daughter of the City Lord?
This is practically courting death.
Haven't you heard that the City Lord intends to send Feng Ruoxian into the palace? She's a forbidden item, and you actually dare to have ideas?
"Speak." Feng Ruoxian maintained a gentle expression from beginning to end, as if she had been trained since young to maintain this kind of calmness and gentleness no matter what happened.
"I want to ask for a chair from Miss Feng." Ling Han said, "Previously, I made a bet with Qi Suifeng. If I defeat Tuoba Tianhuang, he has to eat one of the chairs here. I'm afraid that he won't be able to find it, so I asked for one from Miss Feng first."
"Hehe …" Feng Ruoxian finally couldn't hold it in any longer, and covered her small mouth as she laughed out loud. The others also stared blankly for a moment before bursting into laughter.
This guy really remembered this matter. Furthermore, it was the same as eating a chair. Which chair couldn't be eaten? There was no need for it to be from the City Lord's residence, right?
For Ling Han to mention it at this time, he was obviously teasing Qi Suifeng.
Everyone looked towards Qi Suifeng, only to see that this guy's hands were clenched into fists, and the veins on his forehead were bulging. He was already about to explode from anger.
Sigh, what a pitiful guy.
"Alright, please go ahead." Feng Ruoxian retracted her smile, and once again returned to her gentle appearance.
"Thanks." Ling Han lifted a chair, and swaggered off.
Everyone was filled with admiration. Who could bring something back after entering the City Lord's residence?
It could only be Ling Han …
Eh, although it was only a chair.
Ling Han hailed a taxi, and returned to his residence.
The little maid was curious, and seeing that Ling Han actually brought a chair, she hurriedly asked what happened. After hearing Ling Han's words, her eyes involuntarily lit up, and were filled with envy.
Ling Han couldn't help but smile. "There's no need to be envious. When your young master soars into the sky like a dragon, you will be even more resplendent than the princess."
"No, it's not like that." Huanxue hurriedly waved her hands. "Huanxue hopes to serve Young Master for the rest of my life. It's just that Huanxue is afraid that when I grow old and become ugly, Young Master will feel uncomfortable looking at Huanxue."
Ling Han stared blankly for a moment, and then he laughed loudly.
This love for beauty was truly in everyone's nature. Even the little maid was afraid of growing old.
