Chapter 186: Medicinal Ointment Formulas

Fei Yanchen didn’t pay much attention to Chu Yi’s boastful words; instead, he found amusement in watching Chu Yi’s furious expression.

He let out a soft chuckle, his tone devoid of any warmth.

“Trying to win you over, can’t you see?”

Observing the areas around them where a person in black attire would appear every two steps.

Chu Yi retorted, “…” Trust your grandma’s leg! Do you really look like someone trying to win others over with your demeanor!

However, he also realized that if he didn’t agree to this person’s terms today, he wouldn’t be allowed to leave.

Enduring a temporary humiliation, Chu Yi was certain that he would have an opportunity for retaliation in the future!

In a frustrated tone, he said, “You just want me to follow your orders, right? Fine, I’ll listen. Tell me what you want me to do.”

Fei Yanchen continued to smile at him, but the smile in Chu Yi’s eyes didn’t appear very benevolent.

Chu Yi had no knowledge of Fei Yanchen’s true identity. He only knew that the tasks Fei Yanchen assigned were deeply unethical, and if they were exposed, he would be labeled a rebel and face the wrath of the masses.

If he chose to follow the person before him, his future would be extremely uncertain.

Fei Yanchen didn’t explain his own identity to Chu Yi. He gestured for Fei Dong to bring out something and hand it over to Chu Yi.

Chu Yi took a small gourd-shaped box into his hand, removed the stopper, and emptied its contents.

It was a small black pill.

Looking at the inconspicuous black object in his hand, Chu Yi asked, “What’s this?”

Fei Dong spoke up to explain, “It’s poison. You’ll receive an antidote from the master every half month. This will ensure your life is worry-free.”

……

— Shen Family —

Shen Yu’an and Bai Miaqing had a lively conversation in the room for a long time, until someone from outside called them to have lunch.

Bai Wu and Bai Miaqing’s visit today wasn’t just because of the festive season; they also had another matter to discuss with the Shen family.

Bai Wu handed a list to Shen Yuan, densely filled with names of various medicinal ingredients along with the required quantities.

Shen Yu’an held the list and asked, “What’s this?”

Bai Wu smiled and said, “Actually, this is the second matter I came here for. Initially, I asked Miss Shen for a jar of medicinal ointment, and the ingredients for that ointment are written on this list.”

Shen Yuan was somewhat surprised; he hadn’t expected Bai Wu to actually research and develop it. He couldn’t help but feel impressed.

Seeing her expression, Bai Wu knew that she had recalled the medicinal ointment.

He continued, “I’ve observed the remarkable efficacy of this medicinal ointment and thought of producing it in larger quantities.”

With a sincere smile, he looked at Shen Yu’an and added, “However, this ointment was obtained from Miss Shen’s expertise. It wouldn’t be appropriate for me to unilaterally claim its benefits.”

Shen Yuan looked at him and asked directly, “So, what do you propose?”

Bai Wu promptly responded, “Before coming here, I discussed this with my elder brother. If Miss Shen agrees, we can produce the ointment, and we’ll share the profits between our two parties.”

“How do you feel about this?”

In reality, the medicinal ointment was something Shen Yuan casually took out from her space to treat the scars on Fei Yanchen’s face. It wasn’t really her creation; it was something others had developed in the future.

Bai Wu also knew that Shen Yu’an had acquired the ointment from someone else, so he had no real need to seek her consent before producing it now that he had figured out the formula.

However, the Bai brothers were not just healers; they were also businessmen.

They understood that Shen Yuan’s identity was significant, and naturally, they were willing to take a gamble on her.

That’s why Bai Wu had come today to ask Shen Yu’an if she agreed to their proposal.

Shen Yuan responded, “Being able to decipher the formula is all thanks to Uncle Bai’s efforts. If you wish to use it, feel free to do so without concerning yourself with my opinion.”

Naturally, Bai Wu wouldn’t agree so easily. After a lengthy discussion, they finally reached a decision.

While Shen Yu’an provided a sample of the ointment, Bai Wu had been the one to research and develop the formula. As a result, the lion’s share of the profits (Meaning the larger share) naturally went to the Bai family.

The profit distribution was settled with the Bai family receiving eighty percent, and the Shen family taking the remaining twenty percent.
