Ji i laughed, "Really? You said it; next ti, I'll wear that kind of big floral fabric from rural kangs to see if you're still interested."
Ling Zhenfei said, "I'm really surprised that you actually drove all this way."
Ji i smiled and said, "What else can I do when I miss you? No matter how far it is, I have to find you."
Ling Zhenfei said, "But aren't you famously against marriage? This seems to contradict your behavior."
Ji i sat up and said to Ling Zhenfei, "Not wanting to marry and missing you are two different things. Besides, they don't conflict; even if I wanted to get married, would you marry ?"
Ling Zhenfei laughed, "Are you serious?"
Ji i didn't answer, "As long as I'm happy being with you, why should I care if it's real or not? Whether we'll marry later doesn't matter."
The two gazed at each other affectionately, slowly moved closer, and finally lted into one.
Finally, Ji i fell into a satisfying deep sleep, believing it to be another beautiful dream.
The next day when Ji i woke up, Ling Zhenfei was sitting nearby studying a book, the cover of which was dim and yellow, with a clear sense of history.
Ji i pulled the blanket around herself and sat down beside Ling Zhenfei.
"If you're tired, you should rest a bit, no need to work yourself so hard," Ling Zhenfei said, feeling a bit sorry for her.
Ji i laughed, "That's impossible. You have no idea how many people are waiting for my company to succeed, how many people depend on to put food on the table. Besides, it's important not to let anyone look down on ."
Ling Zhenfei was slightly stunned, not understanding what Ji i ant by her words.
At this ti, Ji i explained, "You wouldn't know how much ridicule I faced when I first started this business, nor how I've survived over these years.
So, no matter how tired I am, I have to persevere; that's the only way I can be dignified and earn respect."
Ling Zhenfei understood Ji i's thoughts, knowing that it's already hard to run a business alone, even harder for soone like Ji i transitioning from a star to an entrepreneur.
"Then work hard and don't let anyone look down on you."
Ji i smiled and said, "You know, ever since I incorporated your elixirs, just last month my company already turned a profit."
Ling Zhenfei's Youth Pill, Beauty Pill, along with the Divine Immortal Water, Qi Replenishing Pill, indeed had an enormous appeal to won, driving Ji i's company's business to rapid growth.
"Those companies that initially didn't want to cooperate with us are now scrambling to discuss partnerships with . Of course, many of them also want to get to you through . Your allure is simply irresistible."
The value of Ling Zhenfei's elixirs is evident, and so is Ling Zhenfei's value. Of course, catching this opportunity ans trendous profit.
"Congratulations," Ling Zhenfei said without much thought, as long as he could make money, it was a trivial effort.
Ji i said, "But your elixirs are too scarce; compared to the demand, it's just a drop in the bucket. I think you don't need to run a business; just producing elixirs daily would be enough."
Ling Zhenfei laughed, "I know producing elixirs daily would earn a lot, but is that a aningful life? If I'm going to do sothing, it needs to be aningful."
Ling Zhenfei's idea was beyond Ji i's understanding. For Ji i, whatever could make money was acceptable.
Ji i said, "No way, I need to rest a bit more, I have to go back tomorrow, there's a company's product negotiation waiting."
Ling Zhenfei said, "I know you want the elixirs, but I advise you not to rely too heavily on my elixirs. You need to have unique products of your own."
"I know, that's why I'm actively developing products. Now that i Ji is on the right track, it's just that your elixirs are needed to maintain the hype."
Ling Zhenfei thought for a mont and said, "Don't worry, I'll get the next batch of elixirs for you as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Ji i was very happy, jumped up to give Ling Zhenfei a kiss, then continued to sleep under the covers.
Early in the morning, Ji i got up and hurriedly left. She had a very important task today and couldn't afford to be delayed.
Ling Zhenfei felt a bit unsettled, so he took a cab to see Lu Huanong.
Lu Huanong was still in her little courtyard, but this ti she had co out of the house to her pavilion.
The pavilion was chilly, and even the small pond had frozen over, but fish could still be seen swimming beneath the surface.
A white mist hovered over the pond, making Lu Huanong appear like a fairy.
Lu Huanong played a tune for Ling Zhenfei, 'Carefree Journey,' which sounded so lancholic under her fingers.
Ling Zhenfei listened, sowhat entranced, while Lu Huanong smiled, an enigmatic smile.
Ling Zhenfei helped Lu Huanong take her pulse, her condition slightly warming but still critically ill. Ling Zhenfei hesitated, unsure how much longer Lu Huanong's body could hold.
Right now, Ling Zhenfei felt like he was racing against ti. What he needed to do was break through the ninth level of the Zhiyi Boundary and reach the Realm of Reaching Wisdom, thus having a chance to survive when entering Xianling Mountain.
Recalling the previous trip to Xianling Mountain with Ru ng, Ling Zhenfei could only sense its formidable power, where both the eagle and the snake were beyond the Realm of Reaching Wisdom.
To flee, one needed at least to reach the Realm of Reaching Wisdom. Last ti, Ling Zhenfei had disturbed the snake, and surviving was already a stroke of fortune, but next ti might not be so lucky.
Ling Zhenfei was certain that if he stepped into the vicinity of Xianling Mountain, he would face a fierce attack.
So, Ling Zhenfei wouldn't enter Xianling Mountain until he reached the Realm of Reaching Wisdom.
However, although he was at the ninth level of the Zhiyi Boundary, even reaching the Great Perfection of this stage, moving into the Realm of Reaching Wisdom wasn't easy.
Talent and, even more, luck were necessary. Luck was an exceptionally formidable elent.
Ling Zhenfei didn't know if Lu Huanong's body could wait until he reached the Realm of Reaching Wisdom; it was truly uncertain.
At this mont, Ling Zhenfei suddenly received a call; the caller ID on his phone indicated it was from Japan.
In Japan, Ling Zhenfei had no friends, but he recalled the one Japanese person he knew, Watanabe Nagayumi.
Rembering the previous agreent with Watanabe Nagayumi, Ling Zhenfei moved a bit further before answering the call.
"Hello, is this Miracle Doctor Ling Zhenfei?"
On the other end ca Watanabe Nagayumi's sowhat unfamiliar Chinese.
"Yes, it's , Mr. Watanabe. What's the matter?" Ling Zhenfei asked, deliberately feigning ignorance.
Even though Watanabe Nagayumi tried hard to maintain a steady ntal state, Ling Zhenfei could clearly hear that Watanabe Nagayumi was quite anxious.
