Chapter 1275: Zhou Ying's Restorative #3
The Yeluo chieftain smiled wryly. "The newcomers are physicians and herbalists from among the Milky Way, as well as apprentices whom the draconian sage keeps sending my way."
The Yeluo chieftain had only accepted the former group of people because of Zhang Lie's influence, and they would receive training by working with the members of the Yeluo tribe.
"It shows that the draconian sage truly values you."
The Yeluo chieftain nodded. "I understand. As long as it doesn't affect my research, I won't mind. Would you like to have a look around the research laboratory, Your Highness?"
Zhang Lie waved a hand in refusal.
"No, there's no need, and you have lots of things to be working on. I'm not too interested in the research at the moment, so let's get to the point."
The Yeluo chieftain glanced at Zhang Lie seriously. "Your Majesty, what's the matter?"
"My own affairs aren't too urgent. You mentioned that you wanted to find me and the draconian sage. Has something happened?"
The Yeluo chieftain replied, "Recently, after the sudden, bewildering rise in the growth of herbs all over the world, I'm easily encountering herbs that I knew nothing about and have never seen before. The draconian research laboratory has been collecting these herbs and researching them."
Zhang Lie raised a hand to stop the Yeluo chieftain. "Cut to the chase, please."
"Through significant research, I've made a tremendous breakthrough and created a refined version of Zhou Ying's restorative, which I've called Restorative #3 for now."
Zhang Lie asked, "How much of an improvement is it over #2?"
"You can recover more quickly, and the regenerative effects have been enhanced."
"Can it be mass-produced?"
"At any time."
Zhang Lie nodded. "Thank you for your hard work. I'll have Zhou Ying come over soon. She's also made massive breakthroughs in the third realm, and the transformation to her energy reserves may be fruitful to your research."
Zhu closed her eyes. After a long pause, she opened them again and replied, "I can guarantee that no such race is currently present in the third realm."
The Yeluo chieftain turned to Zhang Lie. "I've been wanting to ask for some time, Your Majesty, but is this... your new concubine?"
Zhang Lie rolled his eyes. "For one thing, I don't want to be tied down, and for another, what's with this 'new'? I'm single, alright?"
The Yeluo chieftain continued, "Have you not established a relationship with anyone yet, Your Majesty?"
"I don't know what you're talking about."
Zhu raised a petite hand. "I'm Zhang Lie's child bride!"
Zhang Lie clutched his face. "What in the world have you been watching... Zhu, don't joke like that. Grooming children is punishable by at least three years in prison and goes all the way up to the death sentence, alright?"
The Yeluo chieftain nodded. "Is that so? As expected of Your Majesty..."
"Let's stop with the jokes, please." Zhang Lie rolled his eyes. "This isn't my child bride, or anything of the sort. She's the ruler of the realm."
The Yeluo chieftain reared back in shock. "The ruler of the realm?! I apologize for the discourtesy. Your Majesty, you are truly impressive, to have taken the ruler of the realm herself as your child bride."
Zhang Lie pretended not to hear the last sentence. "Since the ruler of the realm has generously confirmed that no such race exists, it surely does not exist."
"What a pity..."
As the three of them talked, they arrived at the Yeluo chieftain's laboratory.
Zhu glanced all around her, at the jars that filled the shelves, with interest.
The Yeluo chieftain had prepared three seats and was starting to brew some medicinal tea.
He poured a big cup of tea out for each of them, then said somewhat embarrassedly, "I don't much care for creature comforts, so I don't have much to present you with. I hope you won't mind—but I grow my own tea, and I'm confident of its quality. You won't be able to buy its like elsewhere."
Zhu sniffed the tea, then pushed it aside as she plugged her nose.
Zhang Lie said, "Let's begin."
