The words startled Luo Ziling, as he thought Lin Lan had caught him peeking.

He quickly shook his head, “I don’t have any inappropriate intentions.”

Lin Lan opened her eyes and quietly looked at Luo Ziling, “Have you never seen me as a woman?”

“That’s not it,” Luo Ziling shook his head again, “How could I think like that? I have always seen you as a woman, just a rather peculiar one. Why are you asking this today?”

Luo Ziling found it strange, as today’s Lin Lan seemed different from usual.

“It’s nothing,” Lin Lan’s face turned slightly red, and she closed her eyes again.

After the treatment, her body felt very fatigued, too lazy to move, so much so that she didn’t even have the energy to pull the blanket over herself, let alone sit up and put on pants.

Before each treatment, she took off her pants by herself, but after the treatment ended, it was always Luo Ziling who dressed her.

Of course, if Shanque or Phoenix were around, Luo Ziling needn’t have bothered.

But for Lin Lan, she would rather have Luo Ziling do this for her than her own comrades.

If her comrades tended to her in Luo Ziling’s presence, she would feel even more embarrassed.

After tidying everything up, Luo Ziling helped her put on her pants, then sat beside her and took her pulse.

Lin Lan was surprised because usually Luo Ziling wouldn’t take her pulse after a treatment.

“Your heartbeat is a bit different from usual. It seems that when I treat you, you truly aren’t the same as usual.” Luo Ziling joked with a smile, “Can I say that you, a warrior from Dragon Rise, don’t have a firm enough willpower?”

Lin Lan instantly became furious, swatted Luo Ziling’s hand away, and glared at him fiercely.

Teasing Lin Lan into a combined state of anger and embarrassment gave Luo Ziling a sense of accomplishment. He didn’t tease her further but stood up and instructed, “Comrade Lin Lan, take a good sleep while you’re tired from the treatment. It should enhance the healing effect. I am leaving now, I still need to talk business with your respected captain. I hope she won’t make things difficult for me, otherwise, if I can’t defeat her now and get beaten up, that would be too embarrassing.”

“The last time you finished the treatment and fought with her, she couldn’t beat you, so why are you afraid of her today?” Lin Lan asked curiously.

“If she fights me with all her might, I would die by her hands any time. Besides, I’ve almost used up all my energy treating you recently, which makes the treatment more effective. If I were to fully recover my energy, it would take at least two hours. Even if she doesn’t use unconventional methods against me now, I wouldn’t stand a chance against her,” Luo Ziling explained, pinching Lin Lan’s rather lively face, “So, you can’t be dissatisfied with me. I put more effort into treating you than anyone else. Comrade little girl, you should know satisfaction.”

Teased by Luo Ziling, Lin Lan, originally quite irritated, didn’t react angrily after hearing his words, but softly responded, “I understand. Thank you very much!”

The way Luo Ziling called her “Comrade little girl” strangely warmed her heart, making her feel truly treated like a girl.

“I will thank you in my own way,” she said earnestly, her coquettish charm barely concealable, as she looked at Luo Ziling. It was rare to see Lin Lan show such a demure feminine side and Luo Ziling couldn’t help but stare blankly.

Seeing Luo Ziling a bit dazed, Lin Lan felt even more bashful, turned her face away, and hurried Luo Ziling along to leave.

Luo Ziling had no choice but to leave. Before leaving, he told Lin Lan that he would try to come every day for the next few days to check on her treatment unless he was out of time. If he couldn’t make it, he would let her know.

Lin Lan simply replied with a “Mm” and then had no other reaction.

After leaving Lin Lan’s residence, a staff member led him to where Phoenix was staying.

“Ouyang Feifei is very efficient. The first batch of finished products has already been delivered, but our people don’t know how to assess the quality of the medicine, so we need your help,” Phoenix said directly as Luo Ziling came in. “I don’t want substandard medicine entering our place, as it would harm many soldiers.”

“It is necessary to check, but I really trust Ouyang Feifei’s character. She would never send substandard medicine here.”

“You trust her that much?” Phoenix was somewhat surprised.

“I believe in her work ethic and her character. She personally oversees things, so there definitely won’t be any mistake.” Although Luo Ziling said this, he still didn’t refuse to personally check the quality of the medicine.

The first batch of medicine was the Golden Healing Powder for treating wounds. For Luo Ziling, simply smelling it was enough to basically determine whether the main ingredients were present. As long as the main ingredients were not missing, the effectiveness could be basically guaranteed.

Luo Ziling examined the powder provided by Phoenix and then requested a knife. He cut open a wound on his hand, applied the powder, and tested its effect on promoting wound healing. Phoenix did not expect Luo Ziling to cut himself and was quite surprised.

“Just as I suspected,” seeing that the wound quickly stopped bleeding and began to feel itchy, Luo Ziling confidently told Phoenix while pointing at the roughly half a pound of powder, “I can assure you, the quality of this powder is up to standard.”

It is difficult to obtain one of the ingredients for making this powder, hence the production could not be very high.

There are alternative materials, but their effectiveness is significantly reduced. Using alternative materials produces a different kind of medicine, but still decent in treating various injuries and promoting wound healing. Ouyang Feifei was prepared to start production with these alternative materials and was applying for the official drug certification, expecting to begin production after the new year.

“If you say the quality is acceptable, then I’ll trust you,” Phoenix sighed in relief. “I will have people package it and distribute it to the soldiers immediately.”

“That’s your business, it has nothing to do with me anymore.” Luo Ziling said, preparing to bid Phoenix farewell. “Comrade Captain, I have other matters to deal with, can I leave now?”

He had already arranged to meet and discuss matters with Ouyang Feifei.

Ouyang Feifei had promised Luo Ziling that she would bring Ouyang Huihui over, and the three of them would clarify everything together.

If there were any misunderstandings, they would resolve them; if it was indeed Ouyang Huihui playing games and trying to cause chaos, then she would be dealt with according to family rules. Luo Ziling did not refuse Ouyang Feifei’s suggestion and was preparing to meet her.

Unexpectedly, Phoenix then said, “I want to meet Ouyang Feifei too. Can you take me along?”

“Why do you need me to take you? Are you afraid of her?” Luo Ziling was puzzled.

“I don’t want to meet Ouyang Feifei alone. Because I don’t like her as a person!”

“Why not?”

“No reason!” Phoenix answered impatiently, then added, “Will you take me to meet her or not?”

“Since I’ve already arranged to meet her, you can come with me,” Luo Ziling had to agree, not forgetting to tease, “I know, it’s because she’s prettier than you, so you don’t like her.”

This remark ignited a fiery rage in Phoenix.
