This matter was a secret to begin with, and Chu Luo couldn’t possibly tell Elder Hu. She deliberately said in a mischievous tone, “Grandpa Hu, guess?”

Elder Hu remembered that Li Yan had asked Chu Luo to brew these herbs and that they must be useful to Li Yan. He stopped guessing and deliberately scolded with a smile, “Little lass, how can I guess without you saying anything?”

As he spoke, he suddenly pulled a long face. “Although I can’t guess what the effects of the medicine you brewed are for now, you just have to remember that doctors are born to save the dying and heal the injured. If they don’t harm anyone, I won’t care.”

Chu Luo deliberately asked, “What if we meet an evil person? Should we save him too?”

Elder Hu was silent for a few seconds. “Then we’ll deal with it after we save him. We would’ve fulfilled our duty as a doctor by then.”

Elder Hu’s words touched Chu Luo’s heart. She smiled and nodded. “Okay, I will definitely follow Grandpa Hu’s instructions.”

These words amused Elder Hu. “Haha… You mischievous little girl!”

The medicine that Chu Luo was going to brew was too special. Other than her, no one else in the world knew how to concoct it, so she could only stay here and guard it.

By the time it was nine in the evening, she still wasn’t done yet. Elder Hu and the others were prepared to go back and rest.

“Lass, how much longer do you need to brew this medicine?”

Elder Hu had come over to take a look a few times. Every time he thought that she was going to finish brewing the medicine, he heard from Chu Luo that it was still early.

Chu Luo repeated, “It’s still early.”

Then, she asked, “Grandpa Hu, are you guys going to rest?”

“Yes, it’s already past nine.”

“Then go rest. I can only leave after this medicine is done.”

“Hey… Alright, if you go back too late, come over later tomorrow morning.”

Chu Luo was about to nod when she suddenly thought of the opening of Tang Zhiyun and the others’ online company tomorrow. She said, “My seniors’ company is opening tomorrow. I am going there.”

“Sure, sure.” Elder Hu sighed. “You youngsters are really driven to start a company during your university days.”

Chu Luo smiled. “Grandpa Hu, you’re more incredible. You’ve known Chinese medicine since you were young.”

“Haha…”

Elder Hu was overjoyed by Chu Luo’s praise. He left after giving a few more instructions.

Chu Luo continued to brew the medicine.

When Li Yan returned from outside and came to look for Chu Luo, it was already half-past eleven.

When he pushed open the door, Chu Luo was watching a teaching video by an overseas professor with her earpiece.

Li Yan placed the supper he had brought for her on a chair outside the door and walked in.

When Chu Luo saw Li Yan enter, she took off her earpiece and smiled at him. “Yan, you’re back?”

Li Yan glanced at the medicine pot beside her and asked, “How much longer do you need to brew it?”

“I’ll have to brew it for at least another seven to eight hours.”

Li Yan nodded and asked her, “Are you hungry?”

“I’m hungry.”

Li Yan smiled. “There are snacks outside.”

When Chu Luo heard this, she stood up and walked out of the door. When she reached Li Yan, she stopped and said to him, “Help me keep an eye on the medicine. When the color of the Flaming Phoenix Grass becomes the color of flames, you must call me.”

Li Yan raised his hand to touch her face. “Okay.”

Chu Luo subconsciously rubbed her cheek against his hand like a wheedling kitten, tickling Li Yan’s heart.

Just as he was considering whether to pull her over and kiss her fiercely, Chu Luo raised her feet and walked out happily.

Li Yan could only walk to the medicine pot to help her keep an eye on the medicine inside.

After Chu Luo finished her supper, the Flaming Phoenix Grass had yet to turn into the color of flames, so she stood with Li Yan and watched.

Chu Luo told him about the process of making this medicine.

“The most important step in taking this medicine is the priest’s blessing. Other than me, no one else in the world can do it.”

Li Yan looked at her confident and smug expression as she spoke and grabbed her hand. He suddenly asked, “So in your time and space, you were a priestess?”

“Eh?” Chu Luo blinked her big eyes and gave him a confused look.

Li Yan couldn’t help but tilt his head and kiss her flower-like lips.

Her lips were suddenly attacked. Chu Luo pursed her lips and punched his arm with a smile. She scolded delicately, “Big baddie.”

Li Yan also smiled and asked, “Why have you never told me what your profession was over there?”

Chu Luo wrinkled her nose at him and said matter-of-factly, “My world is a little different from this world. There’s no priesthood in this world at all. You wouldn’t know even if I told you. Uh…”

Her waist was suddenly pulled over. When Chu Luo’s body bumped into his arms, before she could snap back to her senses, Li Yan punished her by kissing her fiercely on the lips. It wasn’t until her lips turned red that she was let go.

Li Yan threatened her in a hoarse voice, “Regardless of whether I know or not, as long as it’s about you, you’re not allowed to hide it from me. Otherwise…”

At this point, he deliberately blew into her ear.

Chu Luo couldn’t stand it anymore. She shrunk her neck and lay in his arms, panting.

After she had steadied her breathing, she looked up at her and blinked her big, innocent eyes.

Li Yan’s deliberately tightened jawline instantly softened.

He was about to lower his head again when Chu Luo suddenly saw the herbs in the medicine pot from the corner of her eye. She said excitedly, “Ah! The Flaming Phoenix Grass I was waiting for has finally turned into the color of flames.”

As soon as she finished speaking, she pushed him away and walked to the medicine pot. She quickly threw in the other herbs and went to do other things.

Li Yan, who had been pushed away heartlessly, was silent for a few seconds. He quietly walked out and sat in a chair outside. He opened his laptop and accompanied her as he worked.

Chu Luo worked for another two hours. When she remembered Li Yan, she realized that he was gone.

She subconsciously glanced at the open door and happened to see half of Li Yan’s body exposed by the door. Her lips couldn’t help but curl up.

Li Yan seemed to have sensed her gaze and tilted his head to look over.

Chu Luo smiled and narrowed her eyes. “Why haven’t you gone back to rest?”

Li Yan looked at her hand and saw that she wasn’t holding anything to prove that she was fine at this time. He put his laptop aside and stood up to walk in.

“I’ll be wherever my wife is.”

Li Yan walked up to her and looked at her deeply.

The corners of Chu Luo’s lips curled up. She grabbed his large hand and said, “I’m going to take the most crucial step later. It will take more than three hours. If I finish that step and fall asleep from exhaustion, you must remember to wake me up.”

Li Yan’s expression tightened. “Will it be dangerous for you?”

“No, I’ll just be a little tired. I’m going to use the ability of a priest. When the time comes, my Phoenix will possess me. I’m asking you to wake me up because I’m worried that I’ll be late going to the seniors’ place.”

Li Yan’s expression finally relaxed. “Okay, I’ll keep watch over you here.”

“Mm, don’t be nervous.” Chu Luo felt the muscles in his arm tense up, so she poked his arm with her other hand. “It really doesn’t affect me at all.”

Li Yan stared at her and nodded, but the muscles on his arm were still tense.

Chu Luo had no choice but to change the topic.

After brewing the medicine in the medicine pot for more than an hour, Chu Luo said, “It’s almost done.”

With that, she let go of his hand.

Li Yan retreated to the side.

After Chu Luo chanted a few incantations, a red light suddenly shot out from her arm.

After the red light, a phoenix that seemed to be burning with flames appeared above Chu Luo.

This wasn’t the first time Li Yan had seen this phoenix, but he was still shocked.

Chu Luo said, “Phoenix, protect.”

“Yes, Mistress.”

Soon, the entire building was covered by an invisible barrier.

The scene that followed made Li Yan, who had experienced great storms, forget to react.

He didn’t expect that when his little wife used her priestess’s ability, her entire body would emit a powerful spiritual aura. (Don’t ask him how he knew that it was a spiritual aura. These two words just suddenly barged into his mind.) This spiritual aura all went into the medicine pot.

The herbs seemed to have a life of their own and were quickly brewed. After an unknown period of time, the herbs in the medicine pot slowly melted into the medicine. After a while, the medicinal liquid started to decrease. At around six o’clock, all the herbs in the medicine pot had turned into pills.

At this moment, Phoenix returned to Chu Luo’s arm.

At the same time, Chu Luo felt a wave of sleepiness assault her brain. She had just blinked when someone hugged her from the back.

A suppressed worried voice came from beside her ear. “Baby, can you still hold on?”

Chu Luo turned around and smiled at him. “Yes, I’m just a little tired.”

After saying that, she even used two fingers to measure how much it was.

Li Yan wrapped one arm around her waist and pinched her nose with the other. “How much longer?”

“It went smoothly this time. We just have to pack the pills.”

Li Yan looked at the time. “Mm, you can go back and sleep for two hours later.”

Chu Luo nodded and took out a few small bottles to put the pills in them.

After she was done, she handed him one of the bottles. “Give this to Old Master Duanmu.”

As she spoke, she looked at the bottles in her hands and started distributing them. “This bottle is for Teacher Gao and his wife, this bottle is for Old Master Sun, and these two bottles…”

Chu Luo turned to look at Li Yan.

Li Yan looked back at her.

“Forget it. With me around, you don’t have to take these pills at all.”

Li Yan tightened his grip on her waist and his eyes darkened. He lowered his head and whispered into her ear, “Do I just have to ‘eat’ you when the time comes?”

Chu Luo: “…”
