Star Farming, the eldest lady relies on alchemy to counterattack

Chapter 397

Ning Xuan has been back on the Central Star for more than ten days. After this period of recuperation, her injuries have fully recovered. Through her research over these days, she has improved the pollution removal agent several times and finally developed a universal pollution removal agent that can target the vast majority of pollution sources.

Ning Xuan delivered the all-purpose pollution removal agent she had refined to the frontline hospital, and she was looking forward to receiving clinical data feedback soon.

"Nine-Tailed Fox greets Master." Ning Xuan had just arrived at the restaurant when she saw Nine-Tailed Fox kneeling at the entrance.

"Get up. What are you doing here? Is there something you want to say?" Ning Xuan walked past Jiuwei without stopping and went straight into the restaurant. She found her seat and sat down. Yu Mingche, who was behind her, also sat down next to her, while Di Youlin sat on the other side with his head bowed.

Di Youlin returned on the sixth day after Ning Xuan returned to the Central Star, saying he wanted to come back for a vacation.

Nine-Tailed Fox gestured to the servant standing outside the door, and the servant immediately went to the kitchen to serve the dishes.

Nine-Tailed Fox followed Ning Xuan into the restaurant. After Ning Xuan took her seat, Nine-Tailed Fox stood aside and set out the bowls and chopsticks for Ning Xuan and Yu Mingche. "Master, Chairman Lan of the Half-Beastman Association came into the villa under the pretense of visiting me. I told him to leave, but he wouldn't. He said he wanted to visit you. I was afraid that if he made a scene, he might disturb you, so I thought I'd come and tell you." Nine-Tailed Fox quickly explained the situation.

"Hmph, they think they're making a name for themselves because Lan Xin did something." Before Ning Xuan could say anything, Yu Mingche became dissatisfied.

Hearing Yu Mingche's displeased tone, Jiuwei silently knelt down to await orders. Although he had never served his master in bed, he and Lanxin enjoyed the same treatment in the manor, and were considered as the master's personal attendants, directly managed by Lord Yu.

Ning Xuan patted Yu Mingche's hand, signaling him not to be angry.

Then she said, "Since he's here, tell him to come to the reception room after dinner." Ning Xuan was gentle with Jiuwei, and since President Lan was from the Half-Beastman Association, she was just giving Jiuwei and Lan Xin face.

With Ning Xuan's guidance, coupled with her talent and interest, Jiuwei is now a master at cooking and has done extensive research on all kinds of dishes that Ning Xuan had described.

Ning Xuan looked at the various dishes that were placed on the table one after another. Each dish looked delicious and looked very tempting.

Ningxuan was indeed very happy when she saw the snacks shaped like little foxes and tigers, and sighed inwardly, "It's still best to be at home."

After the meal, Ning Xuan and Yu Mingche took a walk in the small garden outside. The afterglow of the setting sun gilded the garden with a layer of gold. Just as Ning Xuan was about to go to the reception room, a servant came to announce that Young Master Lan Xin had returned.

The sound of synchronized footsteps came from not far away.

Ning Xuan looked up and saw a group of guards in silver-gray uniforms walking towards her along the gravel path, their metal boots making a crisp sound as they hit the ground.

The man at the head was half a head taller than the others, and even from a dozen paces away, one could feel the chilling aura emanating from him. He wore specially made golden light armor, the plates engraved with intricate patterns that shimmered like water in the setting sun.

Lan Xin has a very distinctive appearance. He has deep blue eyes, a beautiful jawline, and sharp features. At this moment, there is a scar on his brow bone that has not yet fully healed. However, the scar does not diminish his handsomeness at all. Instead, it adds a touch of sharpness that comes from being tempered on the battlefield.

The group stopped abruptly five meters away from Ning Xuan. Lan Xin raised her hand and gestured, and all the attendants immediately stopped. Lan Xin took a few quick steps, clenched her right fist, placed it in front of her chest, and knelt on one knee before Ning Xuan. "This servant Lan Xin greets her master and Lord Yu." "Why are you back? Has the battle on the battlefield ended? Have your injuries healed?" Ning Xuan asked.

"Reporting to Master, thanks to your treatment, I am completely healed. I haven't had a vacation in a year, but I have performed a great service this time, and Commander Ying has granted me a month's leave." Lan Xin raised her head, her eyes sparkling as she looked at Ning Xuan.

"Oh, you're back on vacation. You must be tired from your journey. Go back to your courtyard and rest first," Ning Xuan waved her hand.

“Xuanxuan, Lan Xin dares to wear armor and reek of blood when she comes to pay her respects to her master. This is disrespectful to you.” Yu Mingche looked at Lan Xin with hostility.

Ning Xuan glanced at Lan Xin, then at Yu Mingche, who was about to say something. Yu Mingche bowed to Ning Xuan and said, "Master, I'll teach him some manners."

Ning Xuan glanced at Lan Xin with some difficulty and nodded. Yu Mingche's current situation is special. For the past ten days or so, Ning Xuan has been very obedient to him, afraid of upsetting him in any way.

"Linran, strip him of his armor, drag him out to the yard, and give him thirty lashes," Yu Mingche ordered Feng Linran as soon as Ning Xuan left.

Lan Xin allowed his servants to strip off all his armor. His entourage looked at each other in bewilderment. It was the captain of the group who stepped forward and quietly asked Lan Xin if they should stop them.

Lan Xin shook his head and directly ordered them not to act rashly. He knew that Yu Mingche was afraid that he would forget his roots and was deliberately finding an excuse to warn him and undermine his prestige.

Lan Xin felt no resentment towards this treatment. No matter how great his achievements or how high his position, he could not change the fact that he was Ning Xuan's slave.

So, when Nine-Tailed Fox took President Lan to the reception room to see Ning Xuan, they saw a tall man wearing a white undershirt being pressed down on a stool and beaten with a board. His white clothes were covered in red bloodstains. The dull sound of the board hitting flesh and the occasional groans made people turn their heads to look.

"Who is that? Do you know what mistake he made? Do you often get beaten up too?" President Lan asked Nine-Tailed Fox curiously.

Nine-Tailed Fox glanced at the scene and immediately recognized who had been beaten. Lan Xin had no idea what mistake she had made, as she had just returned and was being punished by Lord Yu.

"It's Lan Xin, President. Don't you recognize him?" Nine-Tailed asked curiously.

"Who did you say it was?" President Lan's voice suddenly rose, and then he took off running in that direction.

When President Lan was lifted up by the Nine-Tailed Fox, he immediately recognized that it was indeed Lan Xin. Although he seemed to have grown a lot taller and his temperament was different from before, he was indeed Lan Xin.

"Stop! Stop! General Lan is a general awarded by the military. How dare you hit him?" Chairman Lan lunged forward to snatch the torture instruments.

Lan Xin was almost finished with his thirty strokes of the cane when he was suddenly interrupted. He was furious and looked up to the side, signaling his men to pull the troublemaker away so he wouldn't bother him.

At this moment, Nine-Tails also realized what was happening and quickly came to pull President Lan.
