Magma bees—-3Wang Yuelin pursed his lips as he tried to tug his hand which was caught by the woman free as he said, " I am here to ask for collaboration and not to sell my body, if you do not wish to collaborate, that's fine too. I will look for another investor."


Though Wang Yuelin's voice was stiff and stern, it had little to no effect on the woman who was holding him. The woman chuckled heavily as she turned to look at her lackeys who laughed along with her before she parted her lips and then said,

" Yuelin, you have lost your mind if you think that you will be able to find an investor for this kind of research," the woman snickered as she looked at the mer who was still acting stubborn, she looked at him as if she was looking at a child throwing a tantrum and then very patiently said, " Magma bees have been extinct for more than fifty years, even if you have found a few eggs, do you really think that you can revive them? They are dead and so is your research, Wang Yuelin. It's better if you follow me instead of working so hard to revive these eggs which had been dead for so long."

Wang Yuelin felt like his face had been slapped as he looked at the woman in front of him, his lips were tightly pursed as he tried his best to stay quiet and not jump at the woman and claw her face. When Zhu Lan called him, she spoke highly of him and even praised him for doing something that others could not even think of but now that he was here, she was going back on her words.

" Miss Zhu, I have nothing more to say," though Wang Yuelin indeed reached a bottleneck situation in his research, it did not mean that he was going to sell his body away just like that if he was to do something so cheap as this then he will be proving his ex-wife right. Something that he didn't wish to do, which was why he rejected Zhu Lan's offer with firm determination, he was a researcher and not a mer who was willing to sell his body.

His pride as a researcher will never allow him to do something so awful.

Zhu Lan did not expect Wang Yuelin to refuse her, with her lips firmly pressed she tightened her hold on Wang Yuelin's wrist and said, " You don't have to act so restrained with me, Yuelin. I know that you want it, how long it has been since you had a woman next to you? Come with me, not only will I give you the money to buy those instruments that you need but I will also give you the time of your life."

" No——"

" Oh it's you, Yuelin!" Just as Wang Yuelin was going to refuse Zhu Lan again, another voice came from behind and before Wang Yuelin could say anything else, a soft and gentle scent which seemed to belong to the forest and the lakes came floating towards his nose, startling Wang Yuelin as the latter turned around and looked at Mo Qiang in surprise.

" Miss Mo?" Though Wang Yuelin had no idea why Mo Qiang was here, he still greeted her politely. As he hailed from a family of scholars, his manners were immaculate and instances where he lost his temper were highly rare, thus even though the person who spoke to her was Mo Qiang, his voice was as gentle as ever.

Zhu Lan had not expected someone to suddenly pop up in between her and Wang Yuelin, she glanced at Mo Qiang in an unfriendly manner and then said, " I don't know why you are interfering between the two of us but I hope you will know what is good for you, Miss Mo."

" Of course," contrary to Zhu Lan's expectations Mo Qiang did not try to snatch Wang Yuelin away from her, instead she raised her hands in the air as if she was surrendering and then said, " I just came here to ask researcher Wang whether or not his illness was treated properly. In case something happens to Miss Zhu, it will be troublesome."

" Illness?" Zhu Lan's brows furrowed as she turned around and looked at Wang Yuelin but the latter was just as stunned at her because of this, Zhu Lan was not able to find anything from his expression.
