Long Aotian Is a Good Man

Long Aotian looked at Zhou Wanwan and said, "I will transfer everything under my name to yours."

Zhou Wanwan shook her head and said:

"It's no use even if you transfer it to me. You're a ticking time bomb; who knows when you'll betray me?"

"Wouldn't I become a target then?"

Zhou Wanwan hated trouble, Long Aotian cried his eyes out, "No, absolutely not, I swear."

Zhou Wanwan thought for a moment and said, "It's not like I can't give you a chance! I have a mother-child Gu gu, are you willing..."

"I'm willing, absolutely willing, Master, you've given me a way out! Waaah... I'll give you everything, everything..."

Zhou Wanwan twitched the corner of her mouth and said:

"Long Aotian, I know you have some psychological issues, but you must have some skills to be on the Wealth Ranking."

You can come with me, but you must follow my rules.

First and foremost, you can't bully the weak. Look how scared you've made that girl!

Secondly, you need to work hard to earn money for me, of course, through legitimate means. What are your special skills?

Zhou Wanwan planted a mother-child Gu worm in Long Aotian, and only then did Long Aotian say:

"Replying to my master, I was born a medicine slave. I have been planting, identifying and managing medicinal herbs with my clan since I was a child."

The medicinal herbs grown by us herbalists are very different from those grown by others; their growth and medicinal properties are several times stronger.

If you don't believe me, Master, I'll take you to see for yourself."

Zhou Wanwan followed Long Aotian to the herb field, and the herbs there were indeed different.

Ginseng has thick leaves and strong roots, Polygonum multiflorum has thick vines and leaves, and Scutellaria baicalensis, Coptis chinensis, Angelica sinensis, and Bupleurum chinense are all categorized and each plant stands tall and bright.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the medicinal herbs and said, "They are indeed quite good, but that's about it!"

Long Aotian was initially quite happy, but when he heard Zhou Wanwan say that it was just so-so, his face fell.

Zhou Wanwan knew he was unconvinced. "You think your medicinal herbs are so much better? Let me show you the ones I grow!"

Zhou Wanwan took out more than a dozen kinds of medicinal herbs. Long Aotian stared at these herbs with wide eyes and said, "Master... this ginseng, judging from its quality, must be at least three or four hundred years old, right?"

He quickly walked to the side, stroked a He Shou Wu) plant, and said:

"And this He Shou Wu!"

"This root is so thick and robust, with a deep, rich color and potent medicinal properties; it must be at least five or six hundred years old."

Zhou Wanwan smiled faintly:

"Yes, I grew all these medicinal herbs myself."

Moreover, it only took me about a year to grow them.

Long Aotian exclaimed in disbelief, "Impossible! Impossible! Absolutely impossible!"

"Even for me, having been immersed in planting, identifying, and cultivating medicinal herbs since childhood, it would take more than ten or twenty years of painstaking effort to cultivate such a century-old medicinal herb!"

"How could so many good medicinal herbs be grown in just one year? This... this defies all common sense!"

Zhou Wanwan was too lazy to tell him that these medicinal herbs were actually the best seedlings from the first batch.

Zhou Wanwan carried them with her at all times, giving them some energy every day. Gradually, these medicinal herbs transformed into what they are now.

However, these medicinal herbs do not possess sentience like spiritual Lingbao; they only have the most basic consciousness.

They only know how to make demands, but they don't understand anything else.

Long Aotian was quite taken aback. He sighed and said, "However, I have other strengths. I'm good at managing restaurants."

Zhou Wanwan sneered:

"Good at managing restaurants? Give me a break! You've made a complete mess of those restaurants."

Those dishes were absolutely awful.

Long Aotian remained silent, head down. Zhou Wanwan continued, "I plan to renovate all your restaurants and have some of my imperial chefs take charge."

Long Aotian said speechlessly, "The imperial chef? You mean you want me to go to the palace to catch one? That's not very realistic."

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "Why doesn't it seem realistic?"

Long Aotian said helplessly:

"The emperor has kept more than a dozen Earth Ranking experts, and almost all of the top ten on the Earth Ranking are in the palace."

"Someone like me, who's at the bottom of the list, would just get instantly killed if I went there?"

Zhou Wanwan looked at him and said, "Are all the top ten on the Earth Ranking in the Imperial Palace?"

Long Aotian hummed in agreement.

"Yeah! Anyway, I heard there's a mythical beast being kept in the palace, but I don't know what it is."

But I've heard that even the top experts on the Earth Ranking don't dare to approach."

Zhou Wanwan raised an eyebrow. "Mythical beast?"

"Yes, yes, I only heard it secondhand. As for whether it's true or not, I don't know."

Long Aotian was quite adept at handling things; he transferred all the villas and assets under his name to Zhou Wanwan.

This manor is the largest estate under Long Aotian's name, and it took him more than 20 years to build.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the thousands of women, her lips twitching as she said, "Long Aotian, aren't you tired of supporting so many women?"

Long Aotian sighed and said:

"I was hurt by many women when I was young, which caused me to have a phobia of women."

Actually, I didn't do anything bad. Those whose tongues were cut out, and those who were beaten, were all bad people.

Zhou Wanwan told him to leave, then looked at a Fugui plant nearby and asked, "What kind of person is Long Aotian? Does he often bully women?"

Fugui shook its head and said:

"No, those who are going to get whipped are the ones who did dirty work."

Stealing from the manor's property, mistreating servants, and embezzling public funds—these crossed Long Aotian's bottom line, leading to his current predicament.

"As for those who want their tongues pulled out, it's because they have such foul mouths, always gossiping outside, spreading rumors that their master isn't a man and is a fake eunuch."

Several others even had illicit affairs with the steward of the inner courtyard, defiling the inner quarters.

That's why his tongue was pulled out.

Okay! Zhou Wanwan understands, this Long Aotian is actually not bad.

She walked into the inner courtyard and saw a group of women gathered together. Upon seeing her, they all knelt down in front of her with a thud.

"Miss, please... please have mercy and let Long Da go!"

"Long Da... he's a good person!"

"Long Da saved our lives, please don't blame him, don't punish him!"

Zhou Wanwan looked at them curiously and asked, "Were you all rescued by Long Aotian?"

The leading woman looked at her and said:

"Miss... I was originally from a wealthy official family, and the family I married into was even more respectable."

But my husband favors his concubine over his wife. In order to elevate that concubine to a higher position and to seize the dowry and power that my family brought with them, he is determined to kill me.

He secretly sent several thugs to ambush me on my journey, intending to ruin my reputation and tarnish my innocence.

It was Long Da who happened to be passing by and rescued me from those villains.

Outsiders say that Long Da kidnapped women and imprisoned us here.

But only we know that he wasn't robbing, he was saving.

Zhou Wanwan looked at the women behind her and said, "And what about you? Don't tell me you were all rescued by Long Aotian too."
