Chapter 35

Wu Ying needs a capable assistant, and Luo Bi is the most suitable person, even though Luo Bi has a bad temper and is poorly disciplined. However, weighing the pros and cons, her abilities in understanding medicinal and spirit plants are superior.

If Luo Bi becomes Wu Ying’s assistant, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks.

"You really flatter me. I’m afraid I’m not up to the task of being an assistant. You’d better find someone else." Luo Bi politely declined. She was clear in her mind that no matter how much she and Jiang Zhu had in common, the balance of the heart would tip in the face of absolute interests.

Catching a glimpse of Wu Ying’s figure walking in from the corner of her eye, Luo Bi’s lips curled up, ready to wait for her.

Wu Yue’s face changed when he heard this. Jiang Zhu, not giving up, saw Wu Ying and beckoned her over, "Wu Ying, come and chat with Luo Bi." Some things might just work out if they talked about them.

Wu Yue probably thought of this as well. Hearing that a customer had come, he took the opportunity to slip away, leaving time for Wu Ying to persuade her on her own.

"Aunt Luo Bi." Wu Ying was sweet, calling out as soon as she saw her. The various major families were intertwined with marriages, and there were more or less some family ties between them. Counting generation by generation, Wu Ying should call Luo Bi Aunt.

Luo Bi had her own plans and naturally knew how to deal with a young girl like Wu Ying. She smiled and said, "When did you come to Zhihuang Star, Wu Ying?"

Wu Ying was neither tall nor short, with a slightly plump figure. Her skin, like her mother’s, was fair and tender. Her appearance resembled both her father and mother. She was originally quite ugly as a child, but grew more and more beautiful over time.

Wu Ying’s eyes were bright and clear, exuding a sense of vitality. The corners of her mouth were clearly upturned, always giving the impression that she was smiling. She seemed to like wearing loose, casual clothes. A comfortable cotton lace outfit covered her body, revealing what should be revealed and covering what shouldn’t, showing that she had put a lot of thought into her clothing.

"I came early this morning by spaceship." Wu Ying still had a touch of childishness, speaking in a soft, coquettish voice, as if she were pouting. She extended her white, tender hand, pinching a smaller high-grade medicinal plant, her eyes sparkling with curiosity, "This one is so small!"

Clearly ignorant, Luo Bi’s gaze followed the plant to Wu Ying and smiled, reminding her, "That’s a high-grade medicinal plant." So don’t underestimate it just because it’s small.

In the interstellar era, it’s interesting that alchemy masters don’t necessarily understand pharmacology, but they can definitely refine spirit medicines. Those who truly understand pharmacology, however, may not necessarily be able to refine spirit medicines. Like Luo Bi, she recognized medicinal plants and knew what diseases they treated, but if she were asked to diagnose a sick person, she wouldn’t be able to identify the specific illness.

Wu Ying put down the medicinal plant, her eyes twinkling as she looked at Luo Bi coquettishly, "Aunt Luo Bi, be my assistant, please. My current assistant isn’t good enough."

Luo Bi skillfully trimmed the withered branches of the medicinal plant, her lips curled, without even lifting her head, "Let me be honest with you. Even though I’m familiar with medicinal plants, I know nothing about alchemy. Yesterday, I tried with a red jade stone, but I couldn’t even guide the fire source. I’m absolutely not qualified to be your assistant."

"Guiding the fire source! I can do it. If you become my assistant, I’ll teach you how to guide it." Wu Ying’s spirits lifted, her eyes shining.

"Right, right, let Wu Ying teach you how to guide it." Jiang Zhu completely stopped working, sitting up straight to help persuade Luo Bi.

Luo Bi gave her a sidelong glance, "Forget it, I’m not cut out for it."
