Chapter 74

Feng Ling snorted, mocking, "If a man doesn't want to be with a woman anymore, why would he still support her?"

Feng Ling was right, but Luo Bi just couldn't stand to hear it. She got up and glared at the handsome man, her eyes suggesting that one day Feng Ling might do the same.

Feng Ling smiled at the corner of his mouth, his eyes deep as he met Luo Bi's gaze, "You don't have to look at me like that. I am very loyal and won't abandon you halfway. As a member of the Feng family, I will guard Zhihuang Star for the rest of my life unless something unexpected happens. It's you who, if you go to the Contract Master Academy one day, might not be able to resist temptation."

Luo Bi was about to speak when Feng Ling's eyes turned stern, and he cut in, "However, I won't give you any chance to leave me."

Feng Ling's tone was domineering, and his expression serious. Luo Bi held his gaze for two seconds and believed him. She really wanted to ask Feng Ling what he was doing a few months ago when Qiu Qiu secretly married another man and ran to the Imperial Star, and why he didn't stop her as forcefully as he was now.

But that question was a bit foolish, so Luo Bi didn't ask.

Feng Ling wasn't overly controlling of his wife. After a while, he said, "If you really want to apply for a planting field, wait until I order a planting robot in a few days."

Luo Bi nodded, and that was settled.

The rain continued until evening. With ingredients at home, the two didn't go to the base restaurant for dinner. Feng Ling grilled the steak, Luo Bi steamed the rice, and cooked the vegetables.

After dinner, Feng Ling transferred five million interstellar coins to Luo Bi and took out a pile of first-grade Bi Fei stones from his storage ring, "Take them and play with them."

These Bi Fei stones were part of the reward from his recent mission. Luo Bi counted them; there were ninety-one stones of various attributes.

The next morning, Feng Ling went to the Operations Department. The First Operations Team had just returned from a mission, and it had been a failure with heavy casualties. There were many follow-up issues to address, such as silencing the opposition from the Third Army Corps, which would inevitably involve heated debates at the meeting table.

Luo Bi knew Feng Ling would be busy for a while. She practiced extracting energy liquid all morning and, after lunch, decided to buy spirit plants on her own.

She called Feng Ling first to let him know. Feng Ling arranged for someone to accompany Luo Bi to the pharmacy. The person was named Shao Chen, young but very steady, and not talkative. He dropped Luo Bi off at the pharmacy affiliated with the Contract Master Guild and then went to the waiting area.

The attendant who received Luo Bi this time was the same one from last time, named Xue Ning, a manager at the pharmacy.

Xue Ning recognized Luo Bi at once, "The spirit plants from last time are used up?"

Luo Bi nodded, "Yes, they're used up. I need the same formula as last time, enough for ten bottles of hemostatic powder."

"Sure, I'll get them for you right away." Xue Ning turned to get them, "Miss, do you need anything else?"

"Do you have energy bottles here?"

"Of course, we have everything a Contract Master needs." Xue Ning was surprised for a moment, guessing that Luo Bi might have awakened to a dual attribute. He then composed himself and politely said, "The energy bottles are on the third floor. How many do you need? What capacity?"

"How much do 50 ml and 100 ml bottles cost?" Luo Bi was most concerned about the price.

Xue Ning smiled and explained, "Energy bottles cost interstellar coins at other pharmacies, but this is a branch of the Contract Master Guild on Zhihuang Star. According to our rules, as long as you have a Contract Master or Apprentice Contract Master certificate, energy bottles are free."
