Chapter 1402 Probe!

“I wonder if Li Shiyu brought any hormone suppressors with him.” Ling Lan didn’t think that the possibility was high but to make things easier, it was better to ask Li Shiyu about it.

“Xuya and I can go and ask him.” Luo Chao knew that Ling Lan didn’t want to expose her real gender so she volunteered to probe Li Shiyu about it to see if they could get anything out of him.

After some time, the two of them came back with a helpless expression. It looked like they didn’t get anything.

“What happened?” asked Ling Lan.

“When Brother Shiyu heard that we wanted hormone suppressors, he scolded us before we can finish our sentence.” Han Xuya wiped the cold sweat off her forehead. This was the first time she realised how scary a good-tempered person could be when they got angry.

“Brother Shiyu thought that we wanted it for ourselves. He’s worried that we want to use it.” Luo Chao spoke up for Li Shiyu in a soft voice. “Boss, if you don’t have to use that thing, don’t use it.”

Luo Chao was worried about Ling Lan’s body. She had been using hormone suppressors to control her natural bodily function for more than 20 years. She was scared that it could maybe permanently harm Ling Lan’s body. She seemed alright now, but what Li Shiyu said made sense too. There had to be a price to pay when you defied nature. Luo Chao was frightened that the price Ling Lan had to pay in the future would be too big for her to handle.

Ling Lan had been Luo Chao’s male idol ever since she was young. Even though she was a lady now, she was still her male idol. She really hoped that Ling Lan would have a good life, a life filled with no regrets.

“We will be going through a lot of tough battles soon. Once this thing comes, my ability will drop. So, we need to think of a way to solve this.” Ling Lan could already feel her body was showing her signs of getting weaker. If this happened during a battle, it wouldn’t be good.

Luo Chao knew that Ling Lan was right. They weren’t at a safe place. This was the Lawless Lands where danger was found everywhere. No one knew what would happen tomorrow. Boss had the ambition of unifying the Lawless Lands. If every month there would be a time window when she would be weak, it would be quite frustrating.

“But, where can we get hormone suppressors if Brother Shiyu doesn’t want to help us?” Han Xuya scratched her head. She couldn’t think of another way out. Ah!

The three people in the room all wore a helpless expression on their faces as they stared at each other. They didn’t know what to do.

Luo Chao and Han Xuya laughed when they saw their cold and indifferent Boss showing the same helpless expression as them… They felt that their relationship with Ling Lan seemed to have gotten closer than before.

“I’ll look for Li Shiyu personally.” Ling Lan gritted her teeth. She prepared to use her status as Boss to suppress him if need be. Of course, that was if Li Shiyu did have hormone suppressors.

Li Shiyu was in his laboratory, analysing and researching on all the plants he had gathered from the Lawless Lands. He wanted to use these plants to make useful agents.

When he knew that they had to stay at the rainbow palace for a long time, the first thing Li Shiyu did was to move his research equipment and devices to the rainbow palace. Then, he put in 100% of his enthusiasm to start his agent factory.

Li Shiyu knew that just based on transporting goods, even if the Jialan Ship went back and forth non-stop, it would be unable to satisfy the huge amount of agents Boss required. The only way to get a large amount of agents in reserves was to use the local resources to create agents.

To hasten the speed of production, Li Shiyu started with the agents that had already existed on the Lawless Lands and was proven to be effective. Within a short time, he was able to analyze the various ingredients needed to make these agents.

However, the agent-making procedures on the Lawless Lands were very outdated. The original recipe had many flaws too so the agent it created wasn’t the best. It couldn’t meet Li Shiyu’s expectations. Now, he was combing through all the permutations and combinations of ingredients and concentration that could make the best treatment agent. Once he succeeded, they would be able to be self-sufficient in creating these treatment agents, which had the highest demand. That way, the Jialan Ship would be able to take back more raw ingredients for the Nuwa agent and he would be able to make more of this life-saving agent to prepare for their future battles.

Just as he was focused on his research, he suddenly felt an intense glare shooting daggers at his back. He hurriedly turned his head and saw Ling Lan standing at one side and looking at him silently.

“Boss, why do you have the time to come here?” Li Shiyu was surprised. Ling Lan was the Boss but he respected all his comrades like peers. Once they started working, he would rarely disturb them. For instance, once Li Shiyu entered the laboratory, Ling Lan wouldn’t disturb him even if something huge happened.

“Did something bad happen?” This was Li Shiyu’s first reaction. His expression changed as he quickly asked Ling Lan this question before she could reply to his last.

“Erm…” Ling Lan answered in a hesitant tone. “The problem is not big. Are you free?”

Li Shiyu knew that Ling Lan was asking if he had the time to chat. If he wasn’t free, Ling Lan would leave and wait for him to be free.

“I can do my research later. Boss, what is the matter?” Li Shiyu decisively put down his research. Although Boss said that it wasn’t an important affair, it still must be something big for him to come here personally.

Unexpectedly, Ling Lan didn’t reply instantly. Instead, she remained silent for a moment as if she was having difficulty saying it. She placed her fist in front of her mouth and coughed lightly.

“Erm, just now… Luo Chao and Xuya came to find you.” Ling Lan felt that this thing was a little hard to talk about.

Li Shiyu was surprised. She didn’t know why Boss mentioned Luo Chao and Han Xuya. After all, they came for hormone suppressors. When Luo Chao asked him about it, she was extremely shy too. Did she go and look for Ling Lan out of unhappiness because she didn’t get it from him?

Li Shiyu shook his head. He felt that based on how embarrassed Luo Chao was when she came, she wouldn’t dare to talk about such private matters in front of Boss. If he thought carefully about it, Han Xuya had more hope of doing this.

“Boss, did Han Xuya tell you everything?” Li Shiyu probed Ling Lan carefully. He realized that it was really awkward when two men were talking about the private matters of a woman. Not only that, he had to probe Boss to make sure that he got the correct intention.

“They told me some things. That thing is very important to them. If you can, help them with it.” Ling Lan didn’t explain further.

Did this mean that they said or they didn’t say it? Li Shiyu started pondering in his heart. Did Luo Chao and Han Xuya find an alternative to the hormone suppressor or did they really tell Boss that they needed the hormone suppressor?

Li Shiyu decided that he should just wait and see first. If they didn’t tell Boss about the hormone suppressor directly, he would make Boss feel awkward if he mentioned it first. At the same time, Luo Chao and Han Xuya would feel awkward in front of Boss too.

“That thing will do nothing good for their body. I think it’s better for them to not use it.” Since Boss didn’t say what it was, he wouldn’t either. This was the safest way.

“But, after some time, when I start my plan, there will be countless battles. Without that thing, it will be dangerous for them to enter the battlefield,” Ling Lan didn’t say what she needed explicitly.
