This question left Nan Yan completely stunned.
Where did the T-1 reagent come from?
Of course, she had prepared it herself.
But currently, the only place capable of producing T-1 reagents was probably the Xi Shijin’s Research Institute.
That was because she had left behind the complete formula for the T-1 reagent.
Although her formula had scrambled the sequence and made it difficult to discern the correct steps, compared to the T-2 formula, there was still a chance that the correct steps could be discovered through extensive experimentation.
“Brother, if you need T-1 reagent in the future, just ask me directly.”
Nan Yan replied from the side, addressing his question.
She had noticed all the kindness Qin Lu had shown her.
Since he had a need, and she could help, she was more than willing to assist him.
Qin Lu’s eyes darkened suddenly.
He abruptly said to Qin Yi, who was standing nearby, in a low voice, “Qin Yi, step outside.”
Qin Yi didn’t understand why, but since the Young Master asked him to leave, he simply followed his instructions.
When Qin Yi left the small room with medicinal herbs, he casually closed the door behind him.
Now, only Qin Lu and Nan Yan were inside.
Qin Lu lowered his head, gazing at the obedient girl in front of him. He placed his hand on her shoulder and spoke with exceptional seriousness, “Yan Yan, you shouldn’t say such things in front of outsiders.”
The T-1 reagent could be considered a panacea, capable of enhancing the body’s defenses, immunity, and even altering human genes. It could alleviate symptoms for most diseases, and even for those with terminal illnesses, it offered the possibility of extending their lives.
When it was first introduced, it caused a sensation in the world of medical organizations. However, as the number of clinical applications increased, some side effects began to appear. But considering those side effects, the most important thing was to stay alive.
However, Nan Yan was quite dissatisfied with the significant side effects of the T-1 reagent. In order to address these issues, she led a team that tirelessly researched and developed the second generation, T-2.
However, after successfully researching the second generation, Nan Yan didn’t have the opportunity to conduct clinical trials before she was betrayed by Xi
Shijin, who killed her. He took sole possession of her research achievements.
Nan Yan looked at him with clear and graceful eyes, and softly said, “I know all of this, but you’re not an outsider, Brother.”
If it weren’t him standing in front of her right now, she wouldn’t have said a word.
Qin Lu’s kindness towards her had already made her consider him as part of her circle. Furthermore, she believed that Qin Lu would not harm her.
Qin Lu’s dark eyes suddenly became even deeper. He bent down, his finger gliding from the top of her head to her chin, gently lifting it.
His thin lips brushed against her ear, his voice husky, “Little one, your words touched me…”
“But big brother really wants to do something bad, can I?”
Nan Yan was rendered speechless by his seductive tone and instinctively wanted to refuse. However, before she could respond, her vision darkened, and a cool sensation touched her lips.
A faint hint of mint spread from her lips to her teeth.
Before she could thoroughly feel it, that slight cool touch had already receded.
Then, she found herself embraced in the warmth of a man’s arms.
So… did that just happen?
Uncontrolled images flashed in her mind, causing her face to blush slightly.
In her ears, she could hear the strong and steady heartbeat of the man.
You could tell that his heartbeat was slightly faster than usual.
Neither of them spoke, maintaining their embrace, and the only sound in the quiet air was their shallow breaths.
After a while, Nan Yan felt her face cool down and pushed him away. She looked at him with a somewhat awkward expression and said, “Next time, don’t call me ‘little one.”
She wondered if he enjoyed the taboo feeling of calling her “little one” while kissing her. But she didn’t like it. She may look eighteen, but her real age was similar to his.
Hearing him call her “little one” repeatedly felt quite awkward.
Qin Lu’s eyes had a layer of indulgent smile as he said, “Then you better grow up quickly. That way, I can shamelessly flirt with you without feeling guilty.” Unlike now, where he kissed her and felt a sense of guilt in his heart.
He wouldn’t have stopped so quickly; their contact was usually much more prolonged.
Nan Yan replied with a cool glance and turned to look at the medicinal herbs.
Qin Lu followed her quietly, watching her every move.
As for what she wanted to take, he didn’t feel the slightest bit stingy. If she wanted something, he would give her the entire treasure vault without blinking an eye. As long as she liked it…
After leaving the room with medicinal herbs, Nan Yan held several rare herbs in her hand. Qin Yi, seeing this, automatically took them and placed them together with the Fire Flintstone and Blood Lingzhi Mushroom, then locked the password box.
Nan Yan sat at the table, took out paper and a pen, and began writing.
She only put the pen down when the paper was nearly filled. Folding the paper in half, she handed it to Qin Lu.
“Give this to your alchemist. If they have any questions, they can contact me.”
The research on medicine was meant to benefit the people. Although T-1 had some side effects, it was indeed a life-saving medicine. Moreover, the current formula had been improved by her to reduce the side effects.
In front of her, Qin Lu used a lighter to set fire to the piece of paper that contained the formula, which had been sought after by countless people and was worth a fortune for just one vial.
Nan Yan frowned slightly and asked, “Why did you burn it?”
“It’s better to have this information stored in your mind.”
Qin Lu’s tone was calm, and he released the paper only when it had burned to ashes completely. The ashes fluttered down to the floor.
Nan Yan licked her lips, feeling puzzled. “But didn’t you bring it up earlier to analyze the formula?”
Qin Lu raised his hand and ruffled her hair gently. His voice remained flat. “With you here, it’s enough.”
Some things couldn’t be leaked. Although he hadn’t figured out Nan Yan’s true identity, he couldn’t afford for her to have any mishaps. She had mentioned before that she had done some things that would disrupt her peaceful life.
Now, thinking back, it might have been the reason she had given another buyer on the Dark Realm a vial of T-1 reagent.
His eyes flashed with a fleeting dark light, his thoughts racing, but his face
remained calm. He pulled Nan Yan closer and whispered, “In the future, don’t expose yourself.”
No matter who her enemies were, as long as he was around, he would protect her.
After collecting the medicinal herbs in M Country, the two didn’t stay long and boarded the plane to return.
It was another seven-plus hours of flight time.
Nan Yan had taken a nap on the plane when she arrived, so she wasn’t tired now. She lazily leaned against the seat and watched the man beside her handle his work.
The first-class cabin was very quiet. After a while, Nan Yan got up and went to the restroom.
As soon as she entered the restroom, she sensed that something was amiss behind her.
Before she could turn around, a cold gun barrel was pressed against her waist.
“Miss, you better not move and don’t scream..”
