The Greatest Village Doctor In The World

Chapter 872: The Princess’s Request

A group of people ascended the stairs and approached a room at the end of the corridor. Liya pressed her finger onto the fingerprint lock at the door, and the door slowly opened.

As they entered, they found themselves in a large exhibit room, filled with various-sized glass cases containing an array of gemstones.

Bright and colorful, both large and small, the gems certainly drew the eye.

It seemed girls naturally loved shiny things, as both Feng Ling and Li Fei’er forgot everything else, their faces lighting up with delight as they ran to look at the gemstones.

Ling Feng scanned the room and spotted the jade he had bid eight hundred million for—it was indeed here!

It had been polished by now, resting on a purple wooden stand, and placed in a prominent spot.

However, what captured Ling Feng’s attention even more was a fist-sized stone placed next to the jade!

It was a premium Spirit Stone, the very one that had been auctioned off from his own hands!

Seeing this, Ling Feng couldn’t help but turn around and ask, "Princess, did you purchase that Spirit Stone?"

"Yes, if I’m not mistaken, this stone was originally Mr. Ling’s!" Liya nodded in confirmation.

Ling Feng felt a bit awkward and, scratching his head, he said, "It’s a shame we met so late. If we had known each other earlier, you wouldn’t have needed to bid at the auction!"

"It doesn’t matter; I liked it, so I bought it," Liya said with a smile.

"Since this is an exhibit room, does that mean the Yuan Force gemstone can be taken out now?" Ling Feng asked again.

Although he had always been proactive, in reality, Ling Feng was reluctant to part with it.

He still wanted to claim that gemstone for himself!

Whether she had read his mind or not, Liya glanced at him and said indifferently, "Just keep it with you for now!"

"Uh..."

Ling Feng was taken aback, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"Mr. Ling, I know you’re not particularly interested in gemstones. How about we have a chat in the next room?" Liya suggested.

"Sure."

Ling Feng was a bit stupefied, thinking to himself that if she knew he wasn’t interested, why had she brought him here?

"Miss Feng, Miss Fei’er, please enjoy the gemstones here. Mr. Ling and I will have a quick talk and then return!" Liya said.

Li Fei’er nodded, "Sure, by the way, Princess Liya, is photography allowed here?"

"Taking photos is fine, just don’t share them publicly," Liya replied with a smile.

"OK!"

After leaving the exhibit room, Liya led Ling Feng to an adjacent room.

The moment they entered, a unique and distinctive fragrance assaulted his senses. Ling Feng took a sniff and knew immediately it was high-quality ambergris.

Taking in the room’s decor, it was obviously a private meeting room, the kind reserved for close friends and family.

It was clear this was a place for the princess to entertain personal guests, somewhere the average person would not be allowed.

No sooner had they sat down than Liya’s smile vanished, and she looked Ling Feng in the eye, saying, "Mr. Ling, I would like to give you the Yuan Force gemstone as a gift!"

"Hmm?"

Ling Feng was completely flabbergasted!

It’s like being offered a pillow when falling asleep—a totally unexpected surprise!

He asked with wide eyes, "Why would you do that?"

"I’m not giving it to you for nothing; of course, there are conditions!"

Liya smiled, "If you can agree to my condition, then the Yuan Force gemstone is yours!"

Ling Feng hesitated a bit, "What are the conditions?"

Liya sighed instead of answering directly, "Mr. Ling must also know about the incident that happened yesterday. If it weren’t for your intervention, the Original Force Gemstone would have almost been stolen!"

"This actually caused Mianluo Country quite a bit of embarrassment internationally. Not only that, during the gemstone gambling event, operatives from several countries brazenly infiltrated our nation, causing significant damage and a series of bloody incidents!"

At this, Ling Feng felt a bit awkward because he had been involved in the events Liya was talking about!

As Liya reached this point, she looked up at Ling Feng, "So, Mr. Ling should also understand that our situation in Mianluo Country is actually very chaotic. Being just a small country in Southeast Asia, we don’t have much status internationally, and our overall strength is also very weak!"

"I understand, I just don’t know what the Princess means by telling me this."

Ling Feng was a bit confused—was the Princess venting to the wrong person?

At that moment, Liya changed the subject, "I heard there’s a ranking list, and now Mr. Ling is ranked first in overall combat strength?"

"Uh, that’s true, but I don’t know what the other party was thinking to rank me number one!" Ling Feng laughed.

Liya nodded, "There must be a reason for it!"

Then she continued, "My idea is that, whether it be Mianluo Country or our royal family, we need a support right now, and Mr. Ling, you are the best candidate!"

"..."

Ling Feng was completely stunned.

Staring at Liya with a serious expression, he took a few seconds before he could only bitterly smile, "Princess, you’re giving me too much credit. I’m just a rural commoner; how could I have such great abilities?"

"I think you do!"

Liya’s gaze was intense as she looked into Ling Feng’s eyes, "As long as Mr. Ling agrees, to take care of our Mianluo Country more, the Original Force Gemstone will be yours!"

Ling Feng forced a smile, "Princess, stop joking. How could one person take care of a whole country?"

He truly thought it was too much of a joke!

He hadn’t even sorted out everything about Shiliu Village, and now he was expected to take care of a country?

Ling Feng felt even if he had the strength of three and the abilities of six, he still couldn’t do it!

Having no intention to agree, Liya wasn’t discouraged at all, "I’m not joking. As long as Mr. Ling agrees, your Ling Corporation can enter Mianluo Country at any time. Whatever business you run, I can have the Prime Minister offer you the best conditions!"

"Uh..."

The offer was truly tempting, but Ling Feng didn’t know if Mo Jiaolan had any plans to expand overseas, so he hesitated!

"Don’t worry, there’s no need for Mr. Ling to agree immediately. You can go back and think it over!" said Liya.

"Thank you, Princess."

Upon hearing this, Ling Feng breathed a sigh of relief; as long as there was time, it was fine. Such a big decision, he really couldn’t make on the spot!

With that, Liya had finished stating her request. She stood up and said, "Shall we go find the two ladies?"

But Ling Feng didn’t rise to his feet, instead looking at her and asking, "Princess, I still don’t quite understand your motive!"

Caught off guard, Liya then smiled and sat back down, "Master Kong Kong is my mentor!"

"Oh, so, are you approaching me at his suggestion?" Ling Feng asked.

"No, the master only told me that the Original Force Gemstone could lead me to a noble person, someone who could save our people!"

Ling Feng gave a wry smile, "Are you sure that person is me?"

"The Original Force Gemstone has been near you for almost twenty-four hours, and you haven’t undergone any change—that’s the best proof!" Liya said calmly.

"Hm?"

Ling Feng was taken aback once more, "What’s the principle behind that?"
