Chapter 331 Thank you, my dear baby
"What? You want the formula for a sleeping potion to use on the cubs?" Bo Yiyan frowned.
“That’s right! Since the academy won’t let tutors go with us, I have to get Ah Chen some things to protect his life,” Zuo Shan said.
"Do you have so little faith in your son? Don't you believe that his fighting ability is in no way inferior to his classmates?" Bo Yi said.
“I believe in his combat abilities, but he is still young. What if something unexpected happens?” Zuo Shan said.
“How can he grow up if you protect him like this?” Bo Yi said.
“Oh dear, you’ve never been a mother, so naturally you can’t understand a mother’s heart. If I could freely change size, I would wish he would put me in his pocket and take me with him!” Zuo Shan said.
When Bo Yiyan saw the worry in her eyes, he couldn't help but recall the past.
Like Achen, he was also an illegitimate child. His father was an unfavored member of a collateral branch of the Bo family named Bo Shen.
The difference is that after his mother gave birth to him, she confirmed that he was a genetically engineered warrior and then contacted Boshen.
Bo Shen was already in his early forties at the time, but his ability level was only level three. His only advantage was his good looks.
With that face, she became the patron of many female superhumans in the central area.
Although the Bo family is not as powerful as the Lan Dun family, they are still among the top ten families in the central district, so they attach great importance to the upbringing of their descendants.
Boshen was naturally happy to learn that he had a talented son, but at the same time he was absolutely unwilling to marry a woman from outside the central area.
In this way, he would no longer be able to obtain resources from his mistresses.
Bo Yiyan's birth mother was also aware of this, and directly asked Bo Shen for 5 million silver coins. Although this amount of money was a little painful for Bo Shen, it wouldn't be a major blow.
The two hit it off immediately, and just like that, Bo Yiyan was sold for 5 million by his biological mother.
After Bo Yiyan was taken back to the Bo family, he was raised by someone designated by the family, while Bo Shen continued to live a carefree life outside with the family's reward.
Five years later, Bo Shen brought back another daughter for the same price. Although Bo Yiyan and this younger sister were half-sisters, they were the only relatives they could rely on.
Bo Yiyan has never known what maternal love is since he was a child. That's why, after seeing Zuo Shan's eyes full of love for A Chen for the first time, he gave her an apple that could calm her nerves and help her sleep.
The maternal glow emanating from her illuminated the darkness in his heart caused by the lack of paternal and maternal love.
It was this very quality that drew him to get to know her little by little, until they became friends who could talk freely and share secrets.
"I can give you the formula for the drug. If you're really worried about the child, I can apply to be the team's doctor and help look after him." Bo Yiyan finally compromised.
"Really? Thank you so much! With you here, as long as Achen has a breath left, you can save him, right?" Zuo Shan said excitedly.
"That's right! Otherwise, wouldn't my reputation for deciding life and death with a single word be ruined? But have you thought about how you're going to thank me?" Bo Yiyan said, glancing at her sideways.
"Before my daughter finishes breastfeeding, all the infant nutritional supplements I prepare, except for those I use myself, can be auctioned off for free. How about I don't take 20% of the profits?" Zuo Shan said.
She knew exactly what kind of astronomical price her concoctions could fetch at auction once they were branded under Bo Yiyan's name; even a 20% cut would be a considerable sum.
"Heh! Is that all your son's life is worth?" Bo Yiyan mocked.
"Oh dear! Isn't that too formal? You're practically my teacher, so my son could be considered your grand-disciple, right?"
"We're family, no need for formalities. I'll cook you a month's worth of meals and bring them with me, is that alright?" Zuo Shan said shamelessly.
"Alright, but don't worry about the baby nutrition supplement for now. Instead, prepare more hemostatic and restorative medicines."
"Here, this is my latest formula. It's at least 20% more effective than the medicine concocted by old man Augustine of the Lan Dun family." Bo Yiyan sent another document to her wristwatch.
"Dr. Bo, Dr. Bo, you are simply the most adorable person in the world!" Zuo Shan exclaimed excitedly, showering him with compliments as if they were free.
Bo shook his head, but the corners of his lips unconsciously curled up.
The maternal glow emanating from this woman warmed him, but what attracted him even more was her unwavering resilience and the vibrant energy she exuded.
She seemed to belong not to this desolate wasteland, but to a land full of hope.
She shines brightly in the sunshine, and even when the sun isn't shining, she is still a little sun that shines.

With 15 days left until the monthly exam, Zuo Shan received two recipes from Bo Yiyan and started trying to prepare them day and night.
However, this time the formula is quite difficult, and there are many kinds of medicinal materials. To extract the impurities from these medicinal materials and manipulate them to blend together, more mental strength and supernatural abilities are needed than before.
Often, when she had prepared more than half of the ingredients, her energy was almost completely depleted.
On her twentieth attempt, she had persevered to the final stage. With just a little more effort, she should be able to succeed.
However, she has already reached her limit in absorbing energy stones today; if she continues, her meridians will be damaged.
Zuo Shan felt that she could no longer muster any energy, and just as she was about to give up in frustration, she suddenly felt a warm sensation in her lower abdomen.
A steady stream of energy threads flowed from his lower abdomen, like a gentle rain falling on parched land. Zuo Shan finally completed the last step, and the first bottle of hemostatic medicine was successfully prepared.
"Xi'er, is that you? It must be you helping Mommy. Thank you, my dear baby!" Zuo Shan murmured softly, gently stroking her lower abdomen.
Xi'er is different from Achen. When she was pregnant with Achen, she had trouble even feeding herself. Achen was forced to be a good baby just to survive in the womb.
However, Xi'er is now well-nourished, and in theory she should be a lively and energetic baby, but she rarely shows her presence.
She was always so quiet, as if she didn't exist at all.
Zuo Shan thought the baby would be well-behaved to the point of being somewhat introverted, preferring quiet to activity, and possibly even having a withdrawn personality.
She had once worried that such a baby might develop autism.
Unexpectedly, when she sensed that her mother needed energy, she would not hesitate to provide her with her meager energy.
At this moment, Zuo Shan was truly, truly moved. Even though the baby's arrival was unexpected, she felt grateful to God.
"Thank God for giving me such a precious gift. I will do everything I can to cherish her and bring her happiness!"
