Special Expert of Beauty CEO

In the most bustling restaurant of East Capital City, the second-floor private room called ”That Year.”

It’s a small room for two people, where Qin Tian and Fan Bing sit across from each other. After ordering food, they both rest their elbows on the table, looking at each other.

This feeling of happiness seems never to tire.

They only snap back to reality when the waiter serves the dishes.

Qin Tian picks food for Fan Bing and asks, ”Sister Bing, since you came to the Spiritual Domain, why do you seem to look younger and prettier each year?”

As he speaks, Qin Tian gives Fan Bing a thumbs-up, ”Back on Earth, you were an expert in makeup and skincare. In the Spiritual Domain, you’ve completely mastered your skills.”

Fan Bing replies, ”I have to start from when I was first teleported here.”

Fan Bing takes a sip of tea, eats some food, and slowly narrates, ”When I was teleported here, do you know where I ended up?”

Qin Tian shakes his head.

”I was teleported to the door of an Elixir Medicine Workshop, completely alone and scared out of my wits.”

”But I was quite fortunate. The owner of Yunshang Elixir Medicine Shop is a female, and her business wasn’t very big, just four helpers. So, she took me in and eventually brought me along to help with business.”

”It was that simple. I didn’t suffer much hardship in the Spiritual Domain. I was always with her discussing business, and in my spare time, I’d spend my own money to buy elixirs and invite immortality cultivators to teach me cultivation immortality.”

”That’s how my years have passed. I’m well into my cultivation now, having just recently reached the Primordial Pill Early Stage. It took a lot out of me to break through.”

Fan Bing spoke with great pride, but Qin Tian felt a heartache listening.

A woman, teleported to this strange place without anyone to rely on, becoming so strong... thinking about this, he felt a bit guilty, considering Fan Bing was his woman.

”Primordial Pill Early Stage, not bad at all.”

Qin Tian nods; this level of cultivation in East Capital City is quite average, really.

Qin Tian thought it must be because Fan Bing was already in an Elixir Medicine Shop, having sufficient cultivation immortality resources. Given her physical condition, it’s already incredible that she can cultivate immortality at all, let alone reach the Primordial Pill stage.

”So, are you still at Yunshang Elixir Medicine Shop?” Qin Tian asks.

At these words, Fan Bing lowers her head dejectedly.

”Not anymore. Our boss lady provoked an enemy and was killed. Her relatives took over Yunshang Elixir Medicine Shop.”

”So, after she died, I left the shop. I used my savings from these years to hire two former colleagues from the shop and, with the network I built while running business with her, I opened my own Elixir Medicine Shop called Qin’s Elixir Medicine Shop.”

”Qin’s Elixir Medicine Shop?”

Qin Tian was stunned upon hearing this.

Hearing this, Fan Bing smiled gently, looking at Qin Tian with warmth, ”What? Are you surprised?”

Qin Tian nods, ”Why name it Qin’s Elixir Medicine Shop?”

”Is it strange? I’m your woman, right? Traditionally, I’d be called Qin Fan, right? So, using Qin’s name is only fitting...”

Speaking, a bit of hardship from those times slipped into Fan Bing’s voice, ”I was thrown out by her relatives back then, accused of being a seductress. I was completely alone, and I thought of you, thinking you must be in some city in the Spiritual Domain looking for me... So, I told myself I couldn’t give up, I had to live strong and well here, hence I opened Qin’s Elixir Medicine Shop. Whenever life got hard, I’d think of the surname, and it kept me going...”

Before Fan Bing could finish, Qin Tian reached out and grasped her hand tightly.

”Sister Bing, I’m sorry for the hardships you’ve endured.”

Qin Tian was deeply moved, saying, ”Rest assured, now that we have met again, I’ll never let you suffer any more grievances!”

Qin Tian spoke passionately, feeling overwhelmingly indebted to Fan Bing.

Fan Bing smiled faintly, ”It was just last year; things have been better this year. At least my Elixir Medicine Shop is barely staying afloat.”

Qin Tian, recalling Feili Xue, asked, ”How did you get to know Feili Xue?”

Fan Bing chuckled, ”I approached her with a purpose. You know, back in East Sea City, I dealt with many business executives; I knew that connections are crucial. So, I thought Qin’s Elixir Medicine Shop would need an alchemist to sustain it, and I started asking around about famous alchemists in East Capital City. Among those I found out about, most were men, except for Feili Xue, who is notably a teacher at East Han Academy and has a great reputation from the Imperial City. So, I decided to go after her...”

”I found out where Feili Xue lived and also discovered that this year she often went to the market with her maid to buy groceries. So, I went to the market every day, and after running into them several times, we started chatting.”

”Initially, she wasn’t very keen on talking to me, but over time, I talked to them about buying groceries, selecting vegetables, cooking, and they became curious and familiar with me.”

”Last month, I personally cooked and invited them over twice, and we got to know each other. Later, I asked if she could help me make elixirs for Qin’s Elixir Medicine Shop. Unexpectedly, she refused, saying she had no such precedent.”

”I thought that was it. But a few days ago, she came to me and said that if I was willing to do her a favor, she’d make elixirs for me without charge for a year. I was thrilled and agreed instantly.”

”Only later did I find out she wanted me to fake a romantic relationship with a man...”

”I was a bit scared, given my low cultivation level, worried that the man might be attracted to my looks and do something to me...”

”So when Feili Xue called me over to East Han Academy today, I had already decided to refuse her. But then, unexpectedly, haha, it turned out to be you. What a coincidence!”

Fan Bing laughed at this point.

Qin Tian also laughed, asking, ”So are you afraid I might be captivated by your beauty now?”

”Afraid? No, it’s not that you’d be captivated by my beauty; it’s me, Sister Bing, captivated by your charms, okay?” Fan Bing rolled her eyes at Qin Tian.

”That’s good, that’s good. Let’s settle this matter like this. It’s perfect.” Qin Tian quickly picks up some food for Fan Bing, saying, ”From now on, you’ll stay in East Capital City. I’ll protect you, and no one will dare to bully you.”

”Really?”

Fan Bing curiously looks at Qin Tian and asks, ”I notice you staying in East Han Academy. Qin Tian, are you a student there? This academy is famously prestigious in East State, said to only admit genius immortality cultivators!”

”I am, indeed, an immortality cultivation genius.”

Qin Tian confidently thumps his chest and laughs, ”Sister Bing, all you have to do is keep my bed warm, haha, the rest, leave it to your man.”
