Chapter 188: Chapter 186: Wield Your Sword as a Lord

"I’m here."

Long Chen walked toward Zhao Churan’s room.

The soft light tenderly diffused through the space.

Zhao Churan gently pulled Long Chen’s hand and sat down on the edge of the bed.

Long Chen looked at Zhao Churan. She was serene and delicate, and every frown and smile of hers was captivating.

"Would you like a drink?"

Zhao Churan pointed to a high-footed glass nearby.

"I could have a little."

Long Chen said with a smile.

"I’ll pour."

Zhao Churan stood up and picked up the glass.

...

This night, there were no wild storms, just endless tenderness.

At dawn, as soon as Long Chen came downstairs, he saw Han Min had already prepared breakfast.

Turning her head and seeing Long Chen, Han Min immediately greeted him with boundless enthusiasm, "Come and have breakfast."

"Not hungry."

Long Chen left directly.

He couldn’t stomach anything made by Han Min.

Behind him, Han Min’s brow was tightly knitted; she hadn’t expected Long Chen to be so hard to please.

"Mom, has Long Chen left?"

Li Yuechan and her sister came downstairs.

"Yes, he’s gone. I called him to breakfast, but he wouldn’t stay. It seems he still can’t let go of his prejudice against me," Han Min said.

"Could that be considered prejudice?" Li Yuexin said with a bitter smile. "You did so many things that were unkind to him in the past. Now that he agrees to let you move in, I think that’s already the biggest compromise. As for other things, like reconciling, you can’t rush that. Just take it slow."

"You’re right," Han Min sighed, "well, we’ll take it slow then. I hope that one day he can forgive me."

"Let’s have breakfast. Don’t think too much."

Li Yuechan said softly.

She thought Han Min was remorseful for knowing she was wrong.

Little did she know, at this moment, Han Min was plotting in her heart, figuring out the perfect opportunity to make Long Chen leave Li Yuechan forever, or perhaps, leave this world forever.

...

Outside, Long Chen arrived at Dragon Doctor.

Having not seen Long Chen for a while, Xia Ling missed him deeply.

As soon as she saw Long Chen enter the office, Xia Ling immediately wrapped herself around him.

"You bad guy, you’re thinking of abandoning her before you’ve really won her over?"

Xia Ling glared at Long Chen.

"That would never happen."

"Hmph, I dare you. Otherwise, I’ll bankrupt your Dragon Doctor," Xia Lingjiao huffed.

Of course, she wouldn’t really do that; she was just teasing.

"How have you been lately?" Long Chen asked with a smile.

"Of course, very well," Xia Ling said softly. "Our elixirs have caused a huge sensation all over the world, received overwhelming praise, and our funds have accumulated to a level that I can hardly believe. Just on your card, there’s seventy trillion, and there’s as much again in the company account. Haven’t you checked your balance?"

"With so much money, how should I spend it?"

Long Chen sighed.

"It’s actually quite simple. Spend it however you want. If you truly can’t spend it all, just donate some to the national treasury. Great Xia has many areas that need money: the military, people’s welfare, technological research and development, etc.," Xia Ling said.

"You’re right," Long Chen replied with a smile. "I’ll donate twenty trillion when I get back. As for how they choose to spend it, that’s none of my business."

"Okay."

Xia Ling nodded lightly.

"Xia Ling, now that our scale has grown so large, we don’t need this much money. Thus, I’ve been thinking about something and wanted to discuss it with you today."

Long Chen looked at Xia Ling.

"Mhm, go ahead."

Xia Ling became slightly more serious.

Long Chen said, "I was thinking that from now on, our Dragon Doctor’s elixirs, no matter what type, will all be priced at ten yuan each.

Of course, outside of Great Xia, the prices will remain unchanged. This price reduction to ten yuan is only within our Great Xia territory because we can now afford not to profit."

"Alright, I’ll follow your decision. It won’t affect us, and I’m worried that if we continue to expand like this, we’ll invite a disaster," Xia Ling spoke gravely.

"Why?"

"Because we’ve severely disrupted the balance, both in the pharmaceutical industry and the economy. If something were to happen to Dragon Doctor, it could cause unprecedented turmoil," Xia Ling said.

"I kind of get it but not really. However, it doesn’t matter. As long as we don’t invest in the stock market and don’t spend recklessly, we’ll naturally remain safe," Long Chen said with a laugh.

"That’s true in theory. Anyway, your decision just now was a good one. With so much money, we need to ensure the value of Great Xia Coin doesn’t depreciate."

"We’d better not talk about this; I don’t understand it anyway. If you understand, then go ahead and take care of it," said Long Chen.

"Mm-hmm. Let’s not talk about this then. Let’s discuss another topic," Xia Ling said softly. "Remember those two Martial Arts families? Their development in Qianzhou has been swift recently, but they’re also fiercely at odds. I’ve had many people look into it. The Nangong Family seems to have learned that you crippled Nangong Li, and they might come after you soon. You should prepare early."

"Apart from the Nangong Family and the Yang Family, are there any other Martial Arts families involved in Qianzhou?" Long Chen inquired.

"Yes," Xia Ling replied. "There’s also the Shen Family, but they’ve stayed very well hidden, so perhaps neither the Nangong Family nor the Yang Family knows."

"Eh, if they don’t know, how do you?" Long Chen was surprised.

"Because, money talks."

Xia Ling blinked her beautiful eyes playfully.

"So finding you is akin to finding a money-making capability?"

"That’s not how you should put it. It’s because I met you that I’ve gained this monetary power," Xia Ling said with a smile.

"Smooth talker, give me a kiss."

"No way, you’ve ignored me for so long. I’m angry, the kind that can’t be pacified easily."

"Really? Then I’ll be leaving."

Long Chen pretended to stand up.

Xia Ling hastily wrapped her arms around Long Chen’s neck and initiated a kiss.

After Long Chen thoroughly enjoyed the moment, he smiled and asked, "Are you good now?"

"Hmph, you always bully me. You just know that I love you, so you dare to be so reckless, you annoying man."

Although Xia Ling said this, her heart was extremely sweet.

Since they had confirmed their relationship, she felt that although there were moments of slight melancholy, there was more anticipation. Every day felt sunny and bright.

This feeling was even more exciting and happier than earning several trillion.

"Director Xia, I’m actually looking forward to when the ten Martial Arts families of Great Xia all come out into the world."

"Why?"

Long Chen shrugged and said, "Because life’s starting to get a bit boring."

"Those people from the Martial Arts families are not kind. They’ve mastered Extraordinary Martial Arts, so it’s best to be careful," Xia Ling advised earnestly.

"I’ll handle the martial force, you handle the financial power. We’re a strong alliance, invincible in the world, aren’t we?"

"Actually, what I’d like to do most isn’t about financial prowess. Guess what I really want to do now that I know Martial Arts families exist?" Xia Ling’s eyes sparkled as she looked at Long Chen.

After thinking for a while, Long Chen smiled and said, "You should wield a sword and slay enemies far and wide, while I play the zither, accompanying you through ups and downs. So, you want to buy a zither?"
