A man with a handsome face and starry eyes, who seemed as if his face had been sculpted with a brush, approached with a swagger, clad in a leather jacket and a pair of jeans.
Upon seeing him, all the pretty boys in the room, their eyes glittering with infatuation, let out a combined shriek of excitement.
This was Shen Feng, a character who seemed to come straight out of a novel.
Born into a noble family and having received assistance from a benefactor, he soared in the military like a tiger with wings, reaching the rank of a senior colonel before the age of twenty-five.
The most dangerous places in the world had all witnessed his presence, and he was dubbed by secret organizations worldwide as the most dangerous man in Huaxia.
Not even novels about the return of a king of soldiers could capture his legend.
Wherever he went, he became the center of attention.
His charming face could captivate thousands of smitten girls with just a glance.
As he arrived at the office door, the scent of medicine reached his nose.
With a movement of his spiritual power, he could clearly see the situation inside the room.
He furrowed his brow, thinking he might have seen wrong.
After confirming, his heart skipped a beat — he had not expected that the kid Long Fei was actually making pills?
Pill alchemists were legendary figures in this world.
If a pill were to appear, it would undoubtedly trigger a frenzy among the major powers, who would spare no expense to acquire it.
Once, a Half-Patterned Tempering Pill had entered the common world and was auctioned off by the Yan Family, who spent a staggering hundred billion in funds.
Shen Feng’s lips twitched slightly as he thought to himself that he had indeed chosen the right person.
This young man was worth him wasting a bit of time.
He did not enter, instead standing by the door and waiting for a while so as not to distract Long Fei.
Lin Yingying waited and waited on the left and right, but saw no sign of him coming in.
Unable to hold back, she went out herself. As soon as she opened the door, she saw Shen Feng and felt as if she had been jolted by electricity.
Damn it, he’s too handsome.
How can there be such a handsome man in the world?
She paused, and so did Shen Feng.
Their eyes met for a moment before Lin Yingying regained her senses and immediately stretched out her slender hand, greeting, "Hello, are you Mr. Shen?"
"Yes, are you Miss Lin?"
Shen Feng nodded, his expression somewhat cold.
This kind of aloofness was not feigned; it was an innate air of superiority, completely different from that of Long Fei, who had climbed his way up from the bottom.
Lin Yingying compared them in her heart and still felt that her fiancé was better.
Although not as exaggeratedly handsome as Shen Feng, he had a good personality!
She pushed the door open further with a smile and said, "Why are you standing outside and not coming in?"
Shen Feng glanced at Long Fei and said, "I saw someone was busy, and I didn’t want to disturb."
Lin Yingying spoke disdainfully, "No worries, he’s very absorbed in whatever he does; not even thunder can wake him up!"
She led Shen Feng into her office, and he took a look around, coming away with a very good first impression of Lin Yingying.
The office was tidy, with everything neatly arranged.
Each piece of office equipment, though not branded, was exquisitely designed.
It was evident that she was a woman with a taste for life.
He sat down, and Lin Yingying brewed him a cup of coffee and brought it over.
She asked, "Mr. Shen, did you come here for business or for personal matters?"
Shen Feng spoke candidly, "Personal. I’m actually here to see Mr. Long outside."
Lin Yingying raised her eyebrows, wondering what was it about Long Fei that drew people to him.
It was understandable for women to seek him out, but even men.
She said with a smile, "That’s the case. I am his fiancée. If he has caused any trouble outside, or owes anything to the Shen Family, I hope you won’t keep it from me."
Her protective nature emerged, like a mother tiger, her first thought being that someone was looking to trouble her fiancé.
Shen Feng replied calmly, "I think Miss Lin might have misunderstood. I’m not here to cause trouble. I came out of curiosity after hearing my sister mention Mr. Long frequently, and I wanted to pay him a visit and discuss some matters with him."
Lin Yingying relaxed, as long as he wasn’t here to collect a debt.
She curiously asked, "I know Miss Shen as well, but I’ve never heard of her having a brother?"
Shen Feng replied with a smile, "That’s because I’m her cousin, not her biological brother. Since I’ve always been serving in the military, our family never mentions it to outsiders."
When he mentioned his sister, an involuntary smile appeared on his face.
Even though his face was usually stern, his smile was still very warm.
Lin Yingying had thought he was incapable of smiling, until they had coffee together in the office.
About an hour later, a sudden sonorous "ying" came from the cauldron outside, resembling the roar of a dragon and the growl of a tiger.
Even within the office, the medicinal fragrance was immediately overwhelming.
Shen Feng frowned and said, "Is it done?"
He pushed the door open and went out, locking eyes with Long Fei, who had just opened his on the sofa.
Damn, he’s so handsome?
This was Long Fei’s first impression of him, similar to Chu Feng’s initial amazement.
Lin Yingying came out and introduced them with a smile, "This is Shen Yan’er’s brother; he came especially to find you."
As soon as Long Fei heard the name, he immediately felt guilty.
His mind raced, and he roughly guessed Shen Feng’s identity.
But Shen Feng wasn’t in a hurry to discuss anything else and curiously asked Long Fei, "So, is the pill done now?"
"Yes, I was quite lucky!"
Long Fei nodded, having already turned off the gas.
After the white steam in the cauldron had dissipated, he waved his hand, opened the lid, and excitedly peeked inside.
Since it was an experimental product, he had used a single dose of the ingredients.
Inside there was only one black pill, shining like grease.
Lin Yingying curiously leaned in; the medicinal fragrance had a hint of a herbal scent and wasn’t unpleasant.
Long Fei beckoned with his fingers and, unabashedly in front of Shen Feng, took out the pill to inspect it, somewhat dissatisfied, "There are only half the expected patterns; it’s only half a success."
Shen Feng felt like vomiting blood, unsure if Long Fei was showing off or genuinely dissatisfied.
A half-patterned pill could be worth billions out in the market!
Lin Yingying took the pill in her hand, having thought that pills were squishy.
To her surprise, it felt solid like rubber with a high density. Thɪs chapter is updated by 𝕟𝕠𝕧𝕖𝕝·𝘧𝙞𝙧𝙚·𝔫𝔢𝔱
She gave it a firm pinch and felt a bit of elasticity.
She asked Long Fei, "What kind of pill is this? Can I try it?"
Long Fei said with a smile, "Of course, I refined this pill for you."
Lin Yingying felt a little excited, as if she had received a grand gift, although the pill truly was one.
Long Fei explained, "This is a Beauty-preserving Pill. Its main component is anthocyanin, which has strong antioxidant abilities. It’s for maintaining a woman’s skin, keeping it smooth and youthful. After you take it, you won’t need face masks anymore."
"Such thoughtful consideration!"
Lin Yingying bit her lip gently and took a small bite to taste it.
Shen Feng couldn’t help but exclaim, "Hey..."
Lin Yingying and Long Fei both looked at him.
He shook his head with an embarrassed smile and quickly said, "It’s nothing, go ahead and continue eating!"
His heart was bleeding at that moment.
He hadn’t expected a half-patterned pill to be consumed so casually.
That bite had just cost over fifty billion.
When he looked at Long Fei again, his eyes held a lower stance.
The heart that had always been held high involuntarily felt admiration for Long Fei.
Pill Alchemists, the most mysterious and revered group among Cultivators.
He never expected to be standing in front of one at that moment.
