Chapter 138 Throwing oneself into the fire
"I, I like you too, Mr. Qian-Qianzhi." Noah said softly, his face flushed lightly, as beautiful as a hibiscus flower.
"In order to eliminate your country's concerns, you can send this bottle of 'Ningyue' to the medical officer for testing first." Noah wanted to put the bottle of medicine in Qianzhi's palm, but was stopped by Ian behind him halfway.
Ian held Noah's wrist, put on a masked smile, and responded in a businesslike manner: "Thank you very much for your great help to the Empire."
His blue eyes were calm, filled with a careful scrutiny. "I will report this truthfully to His Majesty the Emperor, and will provide further responses regarding your latest technology."
Ian looked at Qianzhi. The little girl's eyes seemed to be glued to the potion bottle. She was indeed very interested in the potion, and so was he.
The spiritual pollution of the guides has always been a headache for the empire. Now the only way to relieve it is through the Thousand Vines.
If Ningyue is really effective, it means that the guide can finally be freed from chronic death. At the same time, it also allows his little girl to not worry too much about other guides, but to pay more attention to her sentinels.
The goat guide woke up from his alienated state with Qianzhi's comfort and went with the medical officer for a more in-depth examination, while Aaron and his subordinate Skunk were taken away by the military.
"Wait a minute, Rand."
Rand put his forearms on the back of his head and was about to leave casually when Qianzhi called him from behind.
He turned his head and saw Qianzhi spreading his palms, letting the soft and slender vines climb up his forearms, and rubbing his tiger spirit body that appeared out of nowhere.
The giant cat was purring with satisfaction from its throat, and the dark stain on its front paws slowly disappeared under Qianzhi's soothing.
"If you feel any discomfort afterwards, remember to tell me." The girl in front of him, who was only as tall as his chest, looked up and spoke to him seriously.
Fortunately, Rand's reaction was exceptionally fast. Otherwise, the poison gas bomb released by the skunk would have become a highly aggressive biological weapon, causing mental and physical damage to an entire floor. Therefore, even though he was from the Federation, he deserved her treatment and comfort.
"Xiao Qianzhi." Rand's cynical smile faded, and a gentle curve appeared at the corners of his lips and the corners of his eyes. "You shouldn't be so gentle to everyone."
In her pure eyes, there are only right and wrong, good and evil. What she sees and understands about the complexity of human hearts and the depth of desires is just the tip of the iceberg.
Even he himself is the same.
There were countless such spiritual scars overlapping under the tiger's colorful fur, but no one had ever noticed them, not even he himself.
But when the soothing sweetness flowed through his skin and spirit, his stubborn and hard heart, which had been soaked in cold water for many years, seemed to be scalded by the sudden flow of warm water, and it collapsed softly for a moment.
He understood why Ming was willing to give his life to Qianzhi.
If there is such a person who cares about him and loves him, he will fly into the fire and burn himself like a moth.
It was too dangerous, he couldn't get any closer.
The test report of the bottle of medicine provided by Noah was quickly analyzed with the participation of many experts from the empire.
It is indeed very effective, even comparable to 60% of the effectiveness of Qianzhi Spiritual Soothing.
This is great news for the guides who are currently suffering from mental pollution.
But for some sentinels, this is not good news in some aspects.
Theo looked at the message on his wrist with a cold expression, then strode impatiently towards the laboratory greenhouse.
The moment the door was opened, that unhappy and ugly expression was instantly replaced by a gentle and obedient smile.
But when he saw the scene in front of him, his face instantly darkened again.
Theo stepped on the half-drooped camellia next to him with his military boots, crushing it again and again. Then he slowly exhaled and sat on a chair beside him.
He raised his chin again and asked the servant beside him.
"That guy, how long has he been chatting with Qianqian?"
The attendant swallowed.
"Almost an hour, Your Highness."
"Tsk." The petals of the camellia were trampled even more.
Not far away, Noah was stabbed by the cold gaze behind him. He first curled his lips imperceptibly, and then his slender shoulders trembled slightly.
"What's wrong? Is the temperature here too low?" Although Qianzhi was immersed in the discussion about potions, he immediately pulled his thoughts out of it and asked about Noah's situation.
After all, Noah is just an ordinary human being and is much more fragile than her.
The man lowered his eyelashes, shook his head slightly, and moved his body a little closer to Qianzhi.
"I'm fine. The temperature Qianqian likes is also the temperature I like."
Theo's lion ears twitched sharply, and his golden eyes narrowed.
Qianqian? When did you start calling me so affectionately?
And what does he like that Qianqian likes?
This tea-smelling guy!
"I don't think I've ever seen the ingredients here before," Qianzhi turned her gaze back to the analyzer, ignoring the collarbone exposed beneath Noah's white shirt and the large expanse of jade-white chest covered with thin muscle. Instead, she focused on studying the potion's ingredients. "Although the content is very low, it seems to have played a decisive role."
"Qianqian is so perceptive," Noah came over and observed the ingredients in the analyzer dish with her. His cool skin touched her back for a moment, and a pleasant fragrance like tender white tea petals wafted around her body.
"That's the Ningyue Flower, grown in Administrative District 7377 of the Federation. As its name suggests, it radiates a moon-like brilliance, but is fleeting and extremely difficult to survive. Until now, only that area has Ningyue Flowers grown."
Chizhi frowned when she heard Noah's words.
In this case, wouldn't the production of the potion be stuck in a bottleneck again? The raw materials are scarce and fragile, so how can it be popularized to all the guides in the empire?
"Unless." Noah bit his lower lip and moved his face closer to Qianzhi's face.
"Unless?" Qianzhi murmured repeatedly, staring at the gorgeous face of the man in front of her, unable to break his gaze as if possessed.
For a moment, she seemed to catch a glimpse of a person's shadow in Noah's eyes.
But they have completely opposite personalities and even completely different appearances.
Besides, that person has already...
"How about Qianqian accompany me to the Federation to study the Ningyue Flower myself?"
His beautiful red lips were about to touch hers.
But the next moment, a huge force pinched the back of his neck and pulled Noah backwards.
Theo's cold and sinister voice rang out.
"Go to the Federation? Who gave Mr. Avery such authority? The commander?"
