Demon Lord and His Unknown Child With the Empress

Vol. 1 - Chapter 68 - They Insulted My Wife

“Big Brother Ning, do you want my family to refine the Immortality Pill and use it against the Jiang family's business?” Qi Yuan asked.

“Correct.” Ning Yechen nodded gently.

As expected of the daughter of a businessman, Qi Yuan was not stupid.

She understood his intentions immediately.

“Before the Qi family has all the ingredients, don't refine and sell it. Otherwise, it might cause suspicion. Also, don’t put the pills up for auction. Instead, sell them at low prices. Miss Qi, I'm sure you understand why, right?”

Qi Yuan contemplated briefly before answering, “Big Brother Ning, are you worried that most cultivators won’t be able to afford the Immortality Pill? If our prices are too high, even if my family makes the pill and increases our revenue, we won’t be able to suppress the Jiang family and their Fire Lotus Medicine.”

In her heart, she felt impressed by Ning Yechen.

In order to go after the Jiang family's business, he was willing to take out a seventh-grade body tempering medicine and sell it at low prices.

Between an expensive fourth-grade and a cheap seventh-grade body tempering medicine, it was clear what was better!

In that case, the Jiang family's business was bound to get deeply affected, and they would end up with a lot of unsellable Fire Lotus Medicine stuck in their hands.

Ning Yechen nodded.

Qi Yuan basically caught his drift.

However, there was still something else she did not say.

After the Jiang family's business started to fail, all their partners could only approach the Qi family for backing.

If they did not change sides, it would be difficult for them to continue running their businesses.

When the time came, the Qi family could give them lowball offers and forcibly buy their businesses!

“After the Qi family releases the Immortality Pill, many businesses will want to work with you. When the time comes, don’t accept them eagerly. Instead, wait for them to become worried and offer lower profit shares. As for the Jiang family's business, do your best to lower the prices before buying them,” Ning Yechen added.

If he wanted to destroy the Jiang family, he could do it effortlessly. He could make them disappear from the world in the blink of an eye.

But he was not holding back out of kindness!

Instead, he wanted to destroy them after everything was taken from them!

Qi Yuan was awestruck.

Ning Yechen had thought of everything, including how the Qi family should react!

Even though Big Brother Ning looked refined and kind, he was able to come up with such methods!

Despite his cultivation being lower than Big Sister Luo, he was very intelligent!

Ever since they ran into Jiang Li, he must have started plotting against the Jiang family!

He even spared no effort to help the Qi family as a part of his strategy!

Although Ning Yechen helped the Qi family only to take out the Jiang family, Qi Yuan was still very grateful.

Luo Ruying did not expect Ning Yechen to do this to deal with the Jiang family.

But compared to his strategy, she was more curious about how he could come up with a seventh-grade body tempering pill prescription so effortlessly.

“Yechen, how do you know this Immortality Pill prescription?” Luo Ruying asked, unable to suppress her curiosity.

He was a mere mortal, but he was able to produce a seventh-grade body tempering pill prescription that she had never seen before.

Facing Luo Ruying’s question, Ning Yechen was already prepared. He smiled and retrieved a book from his chest. “Dear, I happened to pick up this prescription book in the mountains. The prescription is from it.”

Luo Ruying took the book curiously. After she casually flipped through its contents, she was very intrigued.

Every page contained a different prescription.

Most of them looked strange at first, but upon further study, she found them good!

At first look, some of the ingredient combinations did not make sense, but it seemed they could work miracles!

This was clearly written by an expert alchemist!

It included a number of high-grade pill prescriptions!

Just as Ning Yechen had said, the prescription for the Immortality Pill was among them.

Even the prescription for the Meridian Recovery Medicine was among them!

This explained how Ning Yechen could get his hands on the Meridian Recovery Medicine prescription.

Luo Ruying’s suspicion toward Ning Yechen instantly disappeared.

He was a mere mortal. How could he come up with so many novel prescriptions on his own?

It turned out that he had picked up this prescription book by luck.

Even though it could explain how Ning Yechen got his hands on the seventh-grade body tempering medicine prescription, Luo Ruying still felt worried.

This prescription book in her hand was extraordinary!

It contained many original prescriptions and novel creations!

It should have been dropped by the elder who had rescued her in the forest.

He should be very anxious about losing it.

If they had the chance, they should return it to its owner.

“Yechen, this prescription book is priceless, so I think I should keep it for you. In the future, we will return it to its rightful owner,” Luo Ruying said.

Fortunately, this prescription book was in good condition and likely good enough to return to the elder.

Ning Yechen smiled and nodded. “Okay, Dear.”

This book simply contained the notes he had written down casually, so it was no big deal.

Since it was able to dispel his wife's suspicions, it was all for the best.

“Miss Qi, let's not waste any time. Immediately tell your family about it so they can prepare,” Ning Yechen said.

“Yes, Big Brother Ning!” Qi Yuan smiled brightly, filled with anticipation.

She took the prescription for the Immortality Pill and planned to go home immediately to prepare!

She could not wait to see what would happen to the Jiang family and their expressions.

Qi Yuan placed the prescription at her chest but felt it was not safe enough. She tried new hiding spots over and over again.

No matter where she placed it, she felt insecure!

It was not just a piece of paper! Instead, it was the prescription of a seventh-grade body tempering medicine!

It was priceless!

If anyone caught wind of it, she might not live to see another day!

Qi Yuan pondered nonstop. In the end, she decided it was safest to hold the prescription in her hand and hid her hand under her clothes. “Alright, Big Brother Ning, Big Sister Luo, I'm off.”

After saying goodbye to Ning Yechen and Luo Ruying, Qi Yuan walked out of the residence while holding something carefully.

The moment she left, she looked around, feeling as though everyone was suspicious.

It made her look the most suspicious…

It was like she was afraid that others would not know she was carrying something precious.

“Qingyou, send someone to protect her secretly.” Ning Yechen sent a voice transmission to Yue Qingyou worriedly.

“Tsk! Yes, Demon Lord.” Yue Qingyou acknowledged the order with reluctance.

It was clear that she genuinely wanted to kill Qi Yuan.

After Qi Yuan left, Luo Ruying asked Ning Yechen perplexedly, “Yechen, why do you want to bring down the Jiang family?”

During the match between the families, Ning Yechen had proposed changing the rules. From that time, she had a feeling that he was targeting the Jiang family.

Ning Yechen turned his head to look at Luo Ruying and smiled. “They insulted my wife.”

These words made Luo Ruying’s heart palpitate.

He wanted to take out the Jiang family for her.
