Chapter 752: Chapter 752: If You Want to Marry Her, Iâll Find a Way Chapter 752: Chapter 752: If You Want to Marry Her, Iâll Find a Way Phoenix didnât take Luo Ziling to a teahouse or a cafĂ© to discuss matters; instead, she drove like a bolt of lightning and, after a wild ride, stopped in a woodland not far from the sanatorium.
âWhat are you planning to do?â Luo Ziling got nervous when he saw that Lin Lan had brought him to such an isolated place. âI warn you not to try any tricks; you canât beat me.â
Phoenix ignored Luo Zilingâs irritation and calmly said, âA few days ago, we lost a comrade, an expert at using medicine.â
âHow did that happen?â Luo Ziling asked in surprise. âWas it an accident, or was he killed by the enemy?â
âHe sacrificed himself on a mission,â Phoenix sighed slightly before continuing. âHe was the best in our team at using medicine. Since his passing, we havenât been able to find someone with those skills. I know you must be skilled in making medicines and poisons, maybe even better than he was.â
âYou want me to become an official team member and join you in operations?â Luo Ziling asked in surprise and, without waiting for Phoenix to reply, he refused. âNo, I have no such intention.â
âTeach me your skills, as long as I learn them, then our team wonât lack talent in this area.â
âBut even so, you donât have the right to demand that I agree,â Luo Ziling said a bit angrily. âIs this how you ask for a favor? Donât you know that to ask someone for something, you definitely need to show humility, offer some benefits, and ask nicely to get results. The way youâre doing it, all cold and demanding, only a fool would agree.â
âSorry, Iâm just used to this way,â Phoenix turned to look at Luo Ziling, âbut I hope for your help.â
âNo,â Luo Ziling still shook his head. âYour attitude isnât sincere at all, and itâs very uncomfortable to listen to.â
Phoenix immediately became annoyed, her gaze toward Luo Ziling carrying a nearly murderous intent, but Luo Ziling completely ignored it, staring back at her arrogantly, not flinching at all.
He even taunted her a few more times after their staring contest. âWhat I hate the most is seeing pretty women pretending to be cool, acting as if they are so impressive.â
âWhat do you want, then?â Phoenix asked, furrowing her brows and clearly displeased.
âAsk more sincerely, and maybe Iâll consider it.â Seeing that Phoenix had softened her stance, Luo Ziling lowered his demands.
âI hope to improve Dragon Riseâs strength through my own efforts, and I want to raise my status within Dragon Rise, so I hope to develop more comprehensively in all aspects.â Phoenix, uncharacteristically, continued in a lengthy speech before slowing down. âYou are also a member of Dragon Rise, and its achievements belong to you as well.â
âYouâre not a good lobbyist,â Luo Ziling interrupted her. âTo tell you the truth, I can indeed make killer drugs that are undetectable and easy to concoct. But my grandfather has repeatedly reminded me that our mission is to save people, not to kill. Therefore, I wonât pass on these skills to others.â
âThen tell me, what do I need to do for you to be willing to help me?â Phoenix truly softened her tone.
âTake me back, and weâll discuss this matter again when we meet next time. If Iâm in a good mood when I see you, I might be willing to help. It all depends on the young masterâs mood.â Luo Ziling suddenly felt that playing around with a woman like Phoenix could actually be quite enjoyable.
âI might not be here tomorrow, I have to leave tonight,â Phoenix said, her expression turning serious again. âYou might not see me next time, or possibly never again.â
âWhat are you going to do? Such a dangerous mission?â Luo Ziling was startled.
Phoenix didnât speak, just looked at Luo Ziling silently, her eyes void of any ripple.
âAlright, Iâll give you a recipe,â Luo Ziling said as he took out paper and a pen from his bag, quickly wrote down the name of the medicine, and handed it to Phoenix. âThis is a very potent hallucinogenic drug; it might be useful to you. As for the other recipes, I need my grandfatherâs permission to give them to you. Also, here are a few medicines for you.â
Luo Ziling said, handing over several emergency medications to Phoenix, including a pill that didnât have a name but was always referred to as the âLife-saving Pill,â along with a bottle of medicine that promoted rapid healing of wounds, and a quick clotting agent. After giving them to her, Luo Ziling briefly explained their effects and mentioned that these were personal gifts for Phoenix, and nobody else should know.
Having described their general effects, Luo Ziling then said with pride, âThe price of these medications could probably match the value of your car. Alright, no need for thanks, just take me back to school.â
âOkay,â Phoenix accepted them without any fuss and rarely smiled, âIâll thank you properly when I get back.â
âEnough already, donât always boss me around as if I owe you millions; just that will satisfy me. And donât challenge me to a match again,â Luo Ziling grumbled discontentedly, âBeating a woman brings no honor, and losing would be a huge embarrassment for me.â
Phoenix didnât answer but just smiled.
Like Lin Lan, Phoenix usually had a cold demeanor that kept people at a distance, but when she smiled, she could be quite cute and pretty.
Of course, âcuteâ wasnât a word to describe Phoenix; this woman mustnât be young. By Luo Zilingâs estimation, she had to be at least around thirty, maybe even older. Flirting with a woman of this age actually felt quite rewarding.
When Luo Ziling was with Lin Lan, thoughts of romance would cross his mind, but with Phoenix, such notions never occurred to him.
The reason, of course, was due to the age difference and her cold exterior.
After accepting Luo Zilingâs present, Phoenix didnât say much and drove him back to school.
It was only when they were near the school that she spoke again, âIf you want to marry Lin Lan, I can find a way to get her to change her profession.â
Without waiting for Luo Zilingâs response, she immediately drove off.
This comment left Luo Ziling dumbfounded, watching the Hummer disappear, he couldnât help but laugh and cry, âA bunch of unreasonable, strange women.â
As he walked toward the school gate, Luo Ziling took out his phone, intending to send a message to Yang Qingyin, asking what she was up to.
But then he saw that Yang Qingyin had messaged him half an hour earlier, asking if he had returned to school, and if so, to get in touch with her.
Luo Ziling immediately gave her a call.
The call connected quickly, and Yang Qingyinâs soft voice came through the phone, âJunior, Iâm with my mom; she wants to meet you.â
Immediately, Chen Qiaoyuâs voice came through, âZiling, are you free tonight? Come and have dinner with Qingyin and me.â
Luo Ziling quickly agreed before asking in confusion, âAuntie, where shall we have dinner?â
âCome to my place; Iâll have Qingyin pick you up.â
Hearing Chen Qiaoyuâs mention of coming over to her house, Luo Ziling involuntarily shivered, almost dropping his phone.
