Bai Lu squinted her left eye slightly: "I don't have a father."

"Uh..." Even March 7th, who prided himself on being a good conversationalist, choked for a moment, beads of sweat trickling down his forehead. "Then... then what about your mother?"

Bai Lu squinted her eyes o_o: "I don't have a mother either."

"Ah..." March 7th fell silent, drenched in sweat.

Zhou Yuan struggled to control his expression, trying to avoid laughing out loud again.

How did you manage to hit every single one of those landmines?

If this were an ordinary girl, she would have been brought to tears by the question!

"What's with that expression?" Bai Lu looked at March 7th speechlessly. "I never had a mom or dad."

"Now that I've been found, I'm done with this act!" She pointed one finger to the sky and shouted, "I am Bai Lu, the Medicine-Bearing Dragon Girl of the Wisdom Clan! That's right, it's me!"

"...Who?" March 7th paused for a moment, then turned to look at Xing.

"How would I know?" Xing shrugged and looked at Zhou Yuan.

“…Never mind,” Bai Lu gave up arguing with the two and nodded to Zhou Yuan, “Anyway, thank you for your help. Next time you need to come to the Pill Cauldron Department, remember to mention my name, and I’ll give you a 20% discount on the medicinal herbs!”

Zhou Yuan smiled and nodded, but before he could speak, Bai Lu suddenly looked up and pointed to the sky:

"Look, a star raft!!"

The crowd in the square all looked over, but after a long time they couldn't see even a trace of the quail.

Only then did the plainclothes officers realize what was happening.

"Oh no! Lady Bailu is trying to escape! Quick, after her!"

The rare appearance of the Medicine-carrying Dragon Girl was already widely known, and the square was packed with people. Bai Lu's small stature gave her no chance to use her advantage, and she was blocked by the alchemists in just a few steps.

"Lady Bailu! Please don't be willful anymore, come back to the Pill Refining Division with us."

"Aaaaaah!!! I don't want to go back! I don't want to!"

Bai Lu threw a tantrum in protest, but the Danshi remained unmoved.

Seeing that she was about to be carried away, Bai Lu looked around frantically, and suddenly saw Zhou Yuan. She grasped at the opportunity as if it were a lifeline.

"Help, buddy! Help me!!"

Hearing Bai Lu's call, Zhou Yuan nodded in response and took a few steps closer to her.

Before he could even get close, two alchemists blocked Zhou Yuan's path.

"This is an internal matter of the Alchemy Division. Unauthorized personnel are strictly prohibited from approaching!"

They held their arms out to the sides, firmly blocking Zhou Yuan outside.

“What do you mean, ‘unrelated person’? I’m here to see Lady Bailu for medical treatment,” Zhou Yuan explained. “I just helped Lady Bailu, and now I don’t even have the right to see a doctor?”

Upon hearing this, the two alchemists were speechless. Bai Lu pouted and added, "That's right, that's right! This young man has done a great service. Can't I even help him with his illness?!"

After discussing for a while, the two alchemists allowed Zhou Yuan to approach Bai Lu. As soon as they met, Bai Lu impatiently asked, "Little brother... no, brother, how are we going to escape later?"

"What do you mean, 'run'?" Zhou Yuan tilted his head.

"You...you didn't come to save me?"

"Didn't I say I came here for a medical checkup?"

"..." Bai Lu sighed, seemingly having lost all her strength and ability. "Tell me, what's wrong with you?"

“It’s not that I’m the problem, it’s that my child is the problem,” Zhou Yuan pondered. “I’d like to prescribe some brain-boosting medication.”

"How old is the child? Why didn't you bring him?" Bai Lu was young, but she had been practicing medicine for many years and was very experienced. She subconsciously looked behind Zhou Yuan.

“There it is,” Zhou Yuan pointed discreetly at Xing Yi, “about... six days old.”

"This is six days?!" Bai Lu, as expected of an old doctor, found the key to the problem with just one glance at Xing and fixed her gaze on Zhou Yuan's head.

"Um...why don't you take some time to get a brain scan at the Pill Refining Department?"

"Well, in any case, please prescribe some good remedies to improve your intelligence," Zhou Yuan said.

"Okay, okay, let me think... Does the child have any dietary restrictions?"

"do not know."

"...Given the child's young age, I don't recommend using medication. How about this, go to Xingchahai and find a small shop called Redemption Pavilion," Bai Lu said. "The shop has something called 'Chess,' you can give it to the child to try."

"Is that thing good for your brain?"

“Of course, it is said that it was a gift from General Jingyuan to Yanqing Xiaowei Yizhi,” Bailu nodded seriously. “This matter is also recorded in the ‘Biography of General Luofu’.”

“Okay…” Zhou Yuan lowered his head and pondered for a moment, then asked, “Does Lady Bailu have any medicine for that purpose?”

"what?"

"Um...like aphrodisiac oil?"

Zhou Yuan wasn't sure if Bai Lu could understand him, but he didn't dare to speak too clearly, fearing that Yunqi soldiers would suddenly rush out from all around and take him away.

Upon hearing Zhou Yuan's words, the two alchemists responsible for guarding Bai Lu immediately understood, exchanged a smile, and looked away.

"You! You're impotent in that area?" Bai Lu immediately understood what Zhou Yuan was referring to, and exclaimed in astonishment, her face turning bright red.

“It’s not that I can’t,” Zhou Yuan said. “Men are most afraid of being told they can’t do it, and I’m no exception. I just feel like something’s not right and I want to try something more exciting.”

Based on Zhou Yuan's understanding of himself, under the circumstances last night, without the blessing of the Sage Mode, Big Head would have no chance against Little Head, let alone take control of the body from Little Head.

The idea of ​​slapping Huanlong's butt all night seems so weird; I have to try it again.

"Okay, but I don't have the materials on hand right now... How about I prepare them for you when I get back, and you can come and pick them up?"

“Sure, how should I pay you?” Zhou Yuan said, shaking his phone at Bai Lu while winking at her furiously.

"You just scan..." Bai Lu was stunned, almost thinking that her older brother had gone crazy. Then she suddenly realized and quickly changed her words, "Just scan me, brother."

"Um... how much is it? Can I come and collect it tonight? It's urgent!"

"Sure, sure," Bai Lu nodded repeatedly, "A friendly price of 20,000 credits!"

Taking advantage of the fact that the surrounding alchemists weren't paying attention, Zhou Yuan transferred his credits and also added Bai Lu as a friend.

"Big brother, what's your name?" Bai Lu asked before Zhou Yuan left.

"Call me Zhou Yuan." Zhou Yuan turned around gracefully, without looking back.

"What were you talking about just now?" Xing asked.

Zhou Yuan patted Xing on the shoulder with a sigh:

"I was just thinking of going to the Dan Ding Division to find some work... to make some money."

Father... Xing's eyes welled up with tears again.

"Oh right, weren't we supposed to be looking for a contact? I almost forgot." Zhou Yuan drew everyone's attention. "I just happened to run into a short girl with blue hair near Changletian this morning. How about I take you there to check her out?"

“Sure,” March 7th glanced at his phone, “but the contact hasn’t replied. They probably haven’t arrived yet, right?”

Under Zhou Yuan's deliberate guidance, the group entered a card room and found Qing Que, who was dominating the game.

"I've won!!" Qingque smirked, pushed her hand forward, and steadily collected the credits from the three players.

"Hey? Brother Zhou, you're here!" Qingque's peripheral vision is always very sensitive. She spotted the group of people approaching from the side at a glance, and then she recognized the pioneer team members.

"You are... the distinguished guests Lord Fu Xuan spoke of?"

“Yes, we came to make contact on Fu Xuan’s instructions,” Walter said.

"So Brother Zhou knows you! What a coincidence!" Qingque chuckled, her fingers swiping across the screen. "Brother Zhou, I've accomplished my mission!"

Zhou Yuan's phone rang: "420,000 credits have been credited to your account."

Upon hearing this number, Xing's tears stopped abruptly. She wiped her eyes haphazardly and leaned close to Zhou Yuan: "Damn... is this how you do manual labor?"
