In contrast, Wang Youhai was more open-minded and trusted Qin Xuan.
"Old man, are you eating this, or am I?" Wang Youhai reached out to snatch the life-prolonging pill from Dan Bend's hand.
"I'm eating it!" Dan Bend quickly popped the life-prolonging pill into his mouth and swallowed it in one gulp.
A few breaths later, Dan Bend felt nothing unusual and thought he had been tricked. He said irritably,
"This medicine is just like an ordinary candy. I don't feel anything at all. Old man, I wasted fifty million! You have to compensate me!"
Dan Bend knew Wang Youhai was close to that kid, so he couldn't ask him for the fifty million back. Besides, he had saved this old man. He could only suffer this loss himself.
Just as he finished speaking, Dan Bend suddenly felt something was wrong with his body. For some reason, his body began to feel hot, and his face turned red at a visible speed.
Wang Youhai, seeing Dan Bend's head almost smoking, frowned and quickly stepped forward with concern.
"Old Dan, what's wrong?"
"I... I don't know. It's so... so hot!" Dan Bend, with a flushed face, tore at his clothes.
"There's a scorching energy moving within me. I feel like my body is going to explode."
Wang Youhai was anxious and didn't know what to do.
"Old Dan, wait here, I'll go get you some cold water!"
He turned and ran out to fetch cold water.
After Wang Youhai left, Dan Bend lay on the sofa, sweating profusely, his body emitting white smoke.
A golden energy roamed Dan Bend's body. His depleted dantian and sea of consciousness seemed to be instantly flooded with a gushing river, unending.
Dan Bend's vitality gradually became active, and old injuries from years of martial arts practice began to heal.
Wang Youhai rushed back in with a large basin of cold water. Upon seeing Dan Bend on the sofa, Wang Youhai was so shocked that he dropped the basin, spilling water all over the floor.
Dan Bend had shed his former appearance. His pale hair had turned jet black, and only a few wrinkles remained on his face. Most importantly, his body resembled that of a middle-aged man in his thirties or forties, far from a nearly hundred-year-old immortal.
"Old Dan, you..."
Dan Bend stood up from the sofa, stretched his limbs, and looked at the stunned Wang Youhai.
"What's wrong with you? Did your brain go numb?"
Wang Youhai swallowed and pointed to the mirror behind him, motioning for him to turn around.
Dan Bend frowned, not understanding what the old man meant, but he turned around anyway.
When he saw his reflection in the mirror, Dan Bend's eyes widened, and his mouth hung open...
Qin Xuan had just completed a cycle of meditation when Qin Lin's voice sounded from outside the door.
"Brother, that pretty sister from last time is looking for you."
Qin Xuan opened his eyes, frowning slightly. Last time?
Wang Yuyan? Ren Qixiang?
No matter who it was, it was this late. What were they looking for him for?
Qin Xuan replied,
"Got it. Tell her to wait for me in the living room."
Qin Xuan casually threw on a tank top and went downstairs.
When Qin Xuan reached the bottom of the stairs, he saw a beautiful woman in a short skirt and black stockings sitting on the sofa, crossing her legs, exuding a hint of sultriness.
Most importantly, this beauty had placed her stocking-clad feet on the spot where Qin Xuan usually sat, with Qin Xuan's jacket on top of them.
Ahem... Could she have athlete's foot?
Seeing Qin Xuan descend, the beauty smiled and waved at him.
"Good evening."
"Go... Good evening." Qin Xuan, lost in thought, quickly came to his senses and replied.
Qin Xuan sat down opposite Wang Yuyan and then, a little embarrassed, pointed to his jacket under Wang Yuyan's feet.
"Um... you're stepping on my clothes. I need to wear them tomorrow."
Wang Yuyan raised her perfectly sculpted eyebrows and deliberately scuffed her foot on Qin Xuan's clothes before saying coquettishly,
"What's wrong? Afraid my feet smell? Don't you know beautiful women's feet are fragrant?"
"Uh..." Qin Xuan tried his best to control his gaze from wandering to Wang Yuyan's legs and changed the subject.
"It's so late, why are you looking for me?"
Wang Yuyan also remembered the main reason for her visit. She took out two bank cards from her bag and placed them in front of Qin Xuan.
"This is the remaining payment from Grandpa Dan. He said the medicine was very effective and asked you to go to the villa when you have time to thank you in person."
Qin Xuan took the two bank cards that still held a faint fragrance of Wang Yuyan and suddenly asked,
"Why are there two cards?"
Wang Yuyan got down to business, retracted her beautiful feet, and sat cross-legged on the sofa, not caring if she was revealing anything, as if this were her own home.
"The other one is from my grandfather. It's for one hundred million. Grandpa also wants to buy one of those pills from you." Wang Yuyan complained a little.
"I really don't know what kind of magic medicine you have that's worth a hundred million. I can't imagine what Grandpa is thinking. And this villa, I begged Grandpa for a long time, but he refused to give it to me, saying it would be my bridal chamber in the future. I didn't expect him to give it to you directly. Hmph."
Qin Xuan felt a bit awkward. So this was his granddaughter's bridal chamber. Did that make him her son-in-law?
Qin Xuan quickly shook his head, then took out a small porcelain bottle and handed it to Wang Yuyan.
Wang Yuyan took the bottle and glanced at the life-prolonging pill, which looked like a candy, through the opening. She pouted.
"Just this candy is worth a hundred million?"
Qin Xuan said,
"Eating it can at least extend your life by fifteen years."
"Extend your life by fifteen years?" Wang Yuyan looked at Qin Xuan as if he were a charlatan.
"Are you trying to fool ghosts? If that's the case, are you an alchemist then?"
Qin Xuan shook his head.
"No, I'm much more advanced than them. I'm a cultivator."
"Tch." Wang Yuyan rolled her eyes.
"I'm not messing around with you anymore. I have to go back. Grandpa is waiting for me."
With that, she stood up from the sofa. A glimpse of spring was faintly revealed, and Qin Xuan naturally saw it, his face instantly turning bright red. He quickly looked away.
Wang Yuyan put on her shoes and, just as she was about to turn, she suddenly turned back and asked,
"By the way, Qin Xuan, you're divorced now, aren't you?"
Qin Xuan nodded, looking at her with some confusion.
"Yes, why?"
"Nothing, just asking."
Qin Xuan didn't know why she was asking, and then said,
"That was just me not understanding the truth at the time and doing some foolish things. It won't be long before I remarry Tantai."
"Oh." A flash of light appeared in Wang Yuyan's eyes, and she walked out directly.
After Wang Yuyan left, Qin Xuan patted his chest and let out a breath.
"Is this woman always so casual with everyone?"
