Chapter 5: Wang Zhi's Invention

  Back in his room, Wang Zhi sat on the bed again, regulating his breath and slowly recovering the internal force within his body.

  It has to be said that the environment of modern society is very poor, and it's even more unbearable in the city center. Wang Zhi slowly circulated his internal energy inside his body, but the effect was extremely slow. Fortunately, Wang Zhi had undergone a thousand years of tempering, and all the meridians in his body were completely unblocked. If another martial artist wanted to cultivate in such an environment, it would be even more difficult.

  One night without a word, the next day Wang Zhi slowly opened his eyes and walked out. Xu Xiaoran had already gotten up and was preparing breakfast, saying she was preparing it, but actually just reheating what they bought from downstairs.

  Seeing Wang Zhi come out, Xu Xiaoran's small face turned red, and she said somewhat embarrassedly: "I drank too much last night, I'm afraid I troubled you?"

  "Hehe, nothing, serving beauties is my honor." Wang Zhi said with a slight smile, somewhat playfully. Nowadays, Wang Zhi was very lonely, and once the seal on his heart for thousands of years was lifted, he became more frantic and overbearing than anyone else. In Wang Zhi's mind, Xu Xiaoran had already become his target, but for now, he didn't know how to pursue her, so he just teased her verbally for the time being.

  "Shut up." Hearing Wang Zhi's words, Xu Xiaoran felt sweet in her heart, but on her face was a scolding look at Wang Zhi: "Alright, come and eat now."

  Wang Zhi sat at the table, looking at the buns and soy milk that Xu Xiaoran had bought back. It was still in line with his appetite, so he quickly washed his face and started eating. Wang Zhi originally thought that after moving out, he would have to take care of his own food and daily life, but unexpectedly, on the first day, a beautiful maid appeared, and he didn't know if Xu Xiaoran's maid would do his laundry for him.

  After the two finished breakfast, it was almost eight o'clock. Xu Xiaoran put away the bowls and chopsticks, came out to take a look at Wang Zhi who was still sitting leisurely on the sofa in the living room, and curiously asked: "Don't you need to go to work today either?"

  "Oh, I'll just go back home and get some more things later, so I won't go now." Wang Zhi casually replied, but was worried about what would happen later.

  Originally, Wang Zhi bought this two-bedroom suite but left one room as his own traditional Chinese medicine laboratory. But now it has been occupied by Xu Xiaoran, and where will all the stuff that's being moved in later be put?

  Xu Xiaoran walked gently to Wang Zhi's front, looking at Wang Zhi's slightly furrowed eyebrows, and asked with concern: "What's wrong, did you run into some trouble?"

  "No, nothing." Wang Zhi hastily said with a smile, he couldn't say that you occupied my lab and I'm worried about it, if Xu Xiaojie heard it she would be angry and turn around to leave.

  "Really?" Xu Xiaoran leaned her head close to Wang Zhi's and stared tightly into his eyes.

  Looking at Xu Xiaoran's tempting red lips close at hand, smelling the faint body fragrance in her breath, Wang Zhi was a bit flustered, hastily turning his head away and pretending to be calm: "Really didn't."

  "Haha!" Seeing Wang Zhi's flustered appearance, Xu Xiaoran suddenly stood up and covered her mouth to laugh.

  After fooling around with Xu Xiaoran for a while, to be inaccurate, Wang Zhi was fooled by Xu Xiaoran. It wasn't until around 9 o'clock in the morning that Wang Zhi called Zhang Peihou and borrowed a van to take Xu Xiaoran back home together.

  Wang Zhi had originally not planned to let Xu Xiaoran go, but he couldn't withstand the constant coaxing and pestering of Miss Xu, and finally gave in.

  At this time, Wang Tianyuan and Jiang Yun had just finished breakfast and were saying that it was a bit unusual not to have Wang Zhi at mealtime. Just then, Wang Zhi led Xu Xiaoran into the house.

  Jiang Yun saw his son bring back a beautiful girl, and his face suddenly bloomed with joy. He eagerly invited the two into the house. Wang Tianyuan was also beaming with excitement, after all, his son wasn't young anymore, and he was almost at the age of marriage.

  The two elderly people were delighted in their hearts, but their son, who was only twenty-three years old, was completely unaware. Now talking about getting married is still too early, which justifies the common saying that parents always think their children get married late.

  Xu Xiaoran was also sweet-talking, as soon as she entered the door, she called out "Uncle and Auntie", making the two old men even more delighted and beaming with joy.

  "Where does the girl work? Is she a colleague of Xiao Zhi?" Jiang Yun started inquiring while pouring tea for Xu Xiaoran.

  Xu Xiaoran heard Jiang Yun's question, and naturally knew Wang Mu's thoughts. Her face turned red again, her beautiful eyes quietly glanced at Wang Zhi, and she said softly: "No, I am a university classmate of Wang Zhi."

  "Oh! It's a classmate, that's good, that's good." Jiang Yun continued to ask with a smile: "Where is your hometown?"

  "Uh, I'm from Jiangling, and this time I came over to look for a job in Jianghuai." Xu Xiaoran replied obediently.

  "Oh! Jiangling is not very far away either." Jiangyun said, still glancing at Wang Tianyuan not far away, as if speaking to him.

  "En, not far, not far." Wang Tianyuan naturally understood his wife's thoughts and hastily agreed.

  Watching the two parents surround Xu Xiaoran and ask her questions nonstop, almost as if they were going to dig up information about Xu Xiaoran's ancestors eighteen generations ago, Wang Zhi couldn't take it anymore. He quickly pulled Xu Xiaoran away and ran off with her. Outside, there was still a driver sent by Zhang Peihou waiting for them in the car. If they continued asking questions like this, who knows when they would finally be done?

  He dragged Xu Xiaoran to his house, and Wang Zhi carefully carried several large boxes that had already been packed into the car outside. He hastily left, fearing that if he stayed any longer, Xu Xiaoran would even tell her age when she used to wet the bed. This girl was so honest, telling everything she was asked.

  Watching Wang Zhi and Xu Xiaoran drive away, Jiang Yun turned her head and looked at her husband with some concern: "It seems that this girl's family background is not bad, I don't know if they will look down on Zhi."

  "Ah, forget it, you're worrying too much. If he doesn't appreciate it, that's his loss." Wang Tianyuan sighed and said.

  Back in the residential area, Wang Zhi carefully carried the box back to his room again. Even when the driver came forward to help, he hastily stopped him, showing that it was very precious. This made Xu Xiaoran on the side very curious and asked puzzled: "Wang Zhi, what's inside your box? You don't even dare let people touch it?"

  "This is a precious thing, worth its weight in gold!" Wang Zhi carefully carried down the last box and said with emotion.

  "Cut, who cares?" Looking at Wang Zhi's serious face, Xu Xiaoran let out a disdainful cold hum, but in her heart she was constantly making small calculations, wanting to take advantage of Wang Zhi's distraction to sneak a peek.

  After sending away the driver, Wang Zhi returned to the house, moved several boxes to his own room, opened the boxes and took out the things inside one by one.

  Xu Xiaoran looked at what Wang Zhi took out, her beautiful eyes wide with confusion written all over her face. This was the treasure that Wang Zhi had mentioned.

  Also, what Wang Zhi took out at this time were all sorts of bottles and jars. Some were transparent glass vats with a light yellow liquid inside, which seemed to have thin strings floating in it. Some were pale green viscous liquids, while others were loose powders. In short, they were all strange and weird, just like moving someone's chemistry lab.

  "Hey! What's all this? I remember you studying traditional Chinese medicine, when did you switch to chemistry?" Xu Xiaoran couldn't help but ask out of curiosity.

  Put everything in the box neatly, looked at it carefully for a while, and found that nothing was missing. Wang Zhi stood up and said to Xu Xiaoyan: "Who says I changed my major to chemistry? These are all treasures of traditional Chinese medicine, ignorant little girl."

  "Who are you calling an ignorant little girl?" Hearing Wang Zhi scold himself as ignorant, Xu Xiaoran immediately got angry and pulled on Wang Zhi's arm: "You say, you say what this light yellow ** with thin strings inside is used for, I don't believe traditional Chinese medicine can use it."

  "Hehe." Wang Zhi smiled lightly and said, "This is called suture thread. It's used to sew up wounds. This kind of thread is specially made from the leaves of several plants and is very magical. After being sewn onto a wound, it not only promotes healing but also automatically dissolves after seven days without leaving any trace, which means you can avoid the trouble of removing the stitches."

  "What? What did you say? How is that possible?" Upon hearing Wang Zhi's words, Xu Xiaoran couldn't believe her own ears. Was there really such a magical suture thread? Why didn't she know about it?

  "What's impossible about it? These are all the result of my careful study and research on ancient books, for example, this," Wang Zhi smiled casually, picking up the bottle containing a light green viscous liquid: "The disinfectant in this bottle is several or even dozens of times more effective than alcohol. The most important thing is that it's easy to use and carry around. Just find some clean water, mix it randomly, and it has a strong disinfecting effect."

  "Are these all your inventions?" Xu Xiaoran looked at Wang Zhi with some doubt and said disbelievingly, "If they are really your inventions and have the effects you mentioned, you can apply for a patent."

  "Apply for a patent?" Upon hearing Xu Xiaoran's words, Wang Zhi also suddenly came to his senses, with some strange colors flashing in his eyes.
