Chapter 360: Poison in bright colors



Lanling, at the foot of the red leaves mountain.

Listening to Ling Zhou's proposal, Mi Lanmeng's cute face showed a hint of hesitation.

She hesitated, not because she had other thoughts.

She was not as scheming as Sun Yu and could guess Ling Zhou's thoughts.

He hesitated because...

"Well, Your Highness, I'm sorry, I may not be able to participate. I, I don't have any money..."

As she spoke, she blushed.

She is still studying and only works part-time at Blue Star Technology. How can she have the money to invest?

Ling Zhou laughed and said, "Okay! It doesn't matter if you don't have money, you can ask Mr. Sun to lend you some! For the latter, you can also borrow some from Yuanzhou Group, it doesn't matter."

Mi Lan blinked and asked, "Is this okay?"

"Of course, Xiaolan, I have some private money, you can use it to invest in this project."

Sun Yu said with a smile.

Mi Lan blinked, smiled, and didn't refuse.

Although she has no ulterior motives, she cannot tell whether others are truly kind to her.

But she knew one thing, that she was very useful, and that Sun Yu and Ling Zhou could both use her, so they would not harm her.

"Okay, let's not talk about this today. These matters will be handed over to the assistant and President Xue Ya to handle later. You just need to sign then."

Ling Zhou smiled, looked up at the sky, and said, "Let's go up the mountain and take you to taste the specialties of Hongye Mountain."

As for participating in the "Jiahang Theme Park" project, it is not only a small project for Lingzhou, but also not a big project for Sun Yu. It is just something to consolidate the relationship between the two parties.

Seeing that Ling Zhou changed the subject, Sun Yu naturally stopped worrying about it.

As for Mi Lan, she had no more ideas.

As for the reason, it is exactly as mentioned before.

Sun Yu glanced at Mi Lan, smiled, and looked at Hongye Mountain from afar, with a hint of curiosity in his eyes, "The specialty of Hongye Mountain is this kind of red leaf fruit, right? However, this fruit looks attractive, but the taste... I can't say it's good."

As she spoke, she shook her head, a look of lingering fear flashing across her face, as if these red leaf fruits were not just unpalatable fruits, but also a kind of poison.

It was not her fault. She had been to Lanling once before and had also been to Red Leaf Mountain. At that time, the reputation of the Red Leaf Fruit had spread all over the world. She also knew that the Red Leaf Fruit was sour and astringent, and was a poison in a brightly colored coat.

But she was not convinced at that time!

How could such a beautiful fruit be so unpalatable?

Unconvinced, she picked one and tasted it.

And then, nothing happened.

Mi Lan standing by also blinked curiously, obviously she had also heard of the fame of the red leaf fruit.

Hearing this, Ling Zhou raised his head and said with a smile: "Yes and no, let's go, you will know later. This specialty has not been made public yet, it belongs exclusively to my royal family."

Sun Yu smiled, nodded, and took Mi Lan and followed Ling Zhou to climb the Red Leaf Mountain.

Along the way, Sun Yu was speechless as he looked at the cherry-sized red-leaf fruits on both sides of the mountain road. Such tempting fruits were actually...

Thinking about it, she shook her head.

Mi Lan on the side was also a little curious. Could such a beautiful fruit really be as unpalatable as the rumors said?

She wanted to pick one and taste it, but she couldn't muster up the courage.

Soon, Ling Zhou and his group arrived at the manor halfway up the mountain.

Sun Yu and Mi Lan were invited to the pavilion and served with a bright red drink. This was the recipe that Ling Zhou had obtained in exchange for precious medicinal materials from Mr. Yao, an old Chinese medicine doctor from a family of Chinese medicine practitioners, in Shennongjia, China.

This recipe can turn the sour and astringent red leaf fruit into an irresistible drink.

"Try it."

Ling Zhou smiled.

Sun Yu glanced at the liquid in the cup, then turned to look at the red leaf fruit all over the mountain, blinked, and tried to ask: "Your Highness, what kind of drink is this? The color is similar to the red leaf fruit."

In fact, she had already guessed that the drink in the cup was probably made of red leaf fruit, but she couldn't explain it.

And Ling Zhou's next words also confirmed her thoughts.

"Yes, this drink is indeed brewed from red leaf berries. But I think it will give you a surprise, and you will like it. Come, try it first."

Ling Zhou smiled and extended his hand to invite him.

Sun Yu was even more speechless when he heard this.

She had already been overwhelmed by the taste of the red leaf fruit and could not muster up the courage.

But the prince’s face cannot be lost!

She mustered up her courage and wanted to take a sip. No matter how poisonous it tasted, she would just swallow it down and drink it as medicine.

At this time, seeing Ling Zhou's invitation, Mi Lan beside her consciously picked up the cup and sniffed it first. Her eyes lit up immediately and she said, "It smells so good."

Upon hearing this, Sun Yu looked at Mi Lan in surprise.

Mi Lan seemed to be attracted by the aroma. She couldn't wait to take a sip, her eyes lit up. "It smells so good, rich and unique fruity, so sweet."

Ling Zhou smiled, not surprised, as he had drunk this kind of drink more than once or twice.

Immediately, he looked at Sun Yu.

Sun Yu watched speechlessly. If she didn't know Mi Lan, she would have suspected that this girl Mi Lan was trying to flatter Ling Zhou.

Thinking about it, she picked up the cup and smelled it. It was indeed as fragrant as Mi Lan said.

This made her feel relieved and she took a sip. For a moment, she was stunned. Was this really a drink made from red leaf fruit?

Her eyes widened.

A golden flower in Hong Kong's business community, the beautiful and intellectual female president also showed a silly and cute expression at this time, which was very adorable.

“How does it taste?”

Ling Zhou chuckled.

Sun Yu put away his surprise, tasted it carefully, and said: "There is a...how should I put it, there is a unique sour feeling of red leaf fruit, but it is very light. In addition, there is this rich fruity fragrance, this fruity fragrance..."

As she spoke, she frowned.

"Yes, this fruity aroma is the unique aroma of the red leaf fruit. However, for unprocessed fruits, the fruity aroma is completely covered by the sourness, so the red leaf fruit is known as 'beautiful poison'."

Ling Zhou smiled.

The prescription given by the old Chinese doctor contained several Chinese medicinal ingredients.

In fact, research by royal experts has shown that those medicinal herbs can purify and refine the unique fruity aroma of red leaf fruit, and can also neutralize the sourness and astringency.

“It’s incredible.”

Sun Yu was surprised. In fact, the sour feeling that had not completely disappeared, combined with the rich fruity aroma, added a different feeling to the taste of the juice. It was like being addicted.

"Your Highness, so the red leaf fruit itself is a delicacy, but unfortunately the genes have changed and it has become sour. But that unique taste has not disappeared, but is covered up by the strong sour taste?"

At this time, Mi Lan on the side blinked and said.
