Chapter 147 The old troublemaker reveals his ambition
At this point, Bai Zhu added:
"Of course, even if the medicine made according to the fake prescription has no effect, it will not be harmful to the human body.
I leaked this fake prescription just to divert people's attention, not to harm anyone."
After listening to Bai Zhu's explanation, Gu Chen continued to ask questions with his mind:
"So, that fake recipe for the elixir of immortality fell into the hands of Lord Deran?"
Bai Zhu shook his head slightly:
"I have no idea.
But now it seems very likely.
but……"
"But what?"
"In order to protect Qiqi, the fake prescription I leaked did not contain the ingredient zombie blood."
Walnut became alert again, frowning:
"So, the real elixir of immortality recipe contains zombie blood!
"Great! You actually dared to use Qiqi's blood for research! And you still dare to say you're not insane!"
Bai Zhu gave a bitter smile and almost begged for mercy, but at this moment he couldn't utter any words of pleading.
Paimon covered his head, not knowing how to persuade Walnut.
As for Changsheng... he is in cahoots with Baizhu, so it's better not to add fuel to the fire at this time.
No one expected that at the critical moment, Qiqi in Gu Chen's arms actually spoke softly in the mind communication network:
“Don’t blame…Mr. Bai.
Qiqi is willing to help...Mr. Bai.
Qiqi volunteered... to donate blood.
Qiqi is very happy to be able to help Mr. Bai."
Hearing this voice, Hu Tao immediately turned around and looked at Qi Qi with embarrassment and helplessness.
Gu Chen also hugged Qiqi tighter, and was more doting and caring towards her.
The bitter smile on Bai Zhu's face became more obvious.
He didn't say anything, just apologized.
Shaking her head helplessly for a while, Hu Tao simply hated Qi Qi for not fighting back:
"Qiqi, Qiqi, why are you still speaking for this guy? He has ulterior motives towards you!"
Qiqi's body was still unable to move. She just whispered in her mind:
“Mr. Bai…adopted me, and I’m very grateful.
Qiqi just wanted to... repay Mr. Bai."
Changsheng, who had been silent for a while, finally couldn't help but speak up for Bai Zhu:
"Master Hu, please stop being so unreasonable, okay?
Yes, I admit that Baizhu does need Qiqi's blood for research.
But how could it be that he has such ulterior motives and is so cruel as you say?
Each time, Baizhu only takes a few drops of blood, and it may not be taken once a month!
This situation can't be considered persecution of Qiqi, right?"
Hearing this, Hu Tao was inevitably stunned:
"Ah? Is this... like this?"
Then she began to ponder:
"If that's the case, it doesn't seem like it can be considered persecution of Qiqi.
But, Bai Zhu, you have the intention to use Qiqi, please admit it!"
Bai Zhu was very frank:
"I admit it, I'm sorry."
His frank attitude made it impossible for Hu Tao to take advantage of the situation, and Hu Tao was so angry that she gritted her teeth.
Seeing Hu Tao's angry look, Gu Chen couldn't help but laugh. He acted as a peacemaker:
"Okay, Walnut.
Bai Zhu is very frank, isn't he?
No matter what, Baizhu is very caring towards Qiqi.
Even if this love has an element of exploitation at the beginning.
But over the years, this love has become deeper and more heartfelt.
If you can’t say that love is for self-use, then it’s not love.”
Walnut was speechless and was convinced again.
With his arms folded and a gloomy face, Hu Tao hesitated for a long time before reluctantly agreeing.
She looked at Bai Zhu and said righteously:
"Okay, I'll forgive you for now.
But Baizhu, I will keep an eye on you.
If I find out that you have done anything inappropriate to Qiqi.
I will immediately rescue Qiqi and bring her to the Wangsheng Hall, letting her live there!"
Paimon couldn't help but laugh bitterly and complained:
"I think... Qiqi wouldn't be willing, right?"
After coughing twice, Paimon brought the topic back on track:
"Ahem, well...we should get back to business.
Uh...what's the real business?
Oh! That's right! The fake elixir of immortality recipe!
Baizhu, didn’t you say that there was no zombie blood in that fake prescription?
Why did this Lord De Ran, now that he had captured Qi Qi, plan to use her to make medicine?
Back to business, Bai Zhu sighed:
"I guess Lord Deran guessed it himself."
"Did you guess it yourself?"
"good.
This old troublemaker may not be a very good person, but his shrewdness is definitely first-rate.
When he got my fake recipe for the elixir of immortality, he definitely wouldn't believe it and would definitely bribe other doctors to conduct research.
There are people outside people, and there are days outside the sky.
As long as Lord De Ran is willing to spend a lot of money on research, maybe he can really come up with something by following the fake prescription and copying it.
After all, the fake prescription is modified according to the real prescription.
During the research process, De Ran Gong inevitably noticed Qi Qi.
Considering the immortality of zombies, it probably wouldn't be difficult for Lord De Ran to connect the recipe for the elixir of immortality to Qi Qi."
Paimon nodded:
"Oh, that makes sense. We really can't underestimate this old troublemaker."
After explaining this, the cause and effect of the matter is almost clear.
Holding Qiqi in his arms, Gu Chen looked at Lord Deran who was sitting over there with cold eyes:
“Although I don’t know to what extent this old villain has researched the prescription, since he dared to attack Qiqi directly, it means that he is already somewhat confident.
Of course, it is also possible that he felt that his time was up and he could not wait any longer, so he wanted to take a risk.
No matter what, daring to attack Qiqi and acting so despicably is truly unforgivable!"
After hearing Gu Chen's words in the mind communication network, the other four nodded in agreement.
Just as they were silent, the middle-aged man, the son of Lord Deran, one of the three generations of the family, broke the silence again:
"Father, after the elixir of immortality is made, what should we do with this zombie?"
Without even turning his head, Lord De Ran said grimly:
"Raise it."
"Feed?"
"Of course you have to raise them!
What? Refining the elixir of immortality once is enough?
Others don’t understand, but you don’t understand?
The prescription we developed with the efforts of our entire family still has flaws. It cannot achieve immortality, but can only extend lifespan to a certain extent.
What happens when the extended lifespan is almost over? Of course, you need to take the elixir of immortality again!
Only by raising this zombie and constantly drawing blood from her can I continuously refine the elixir of immortality and live forever!
As long as you survive... you can do anything!
That bitch Ningguang caused me to lose my position on the Tianquan Star. I will always remember this grudge!
I have the elixir of immortality, which can extend my lifespan. This means there will be endless opportunities for me and our family.
I can outlast Ningguang, but she can't outlast me...
One day, the position of Tianquan Star will be back in my hands!
Not only the small Tianquan Star, but even the entire Liyue... I want it all under my control.
As long as you live long enough, as long as you endure long enough..."
