Chapter 353: 201 Disdain (Second Update)_2

But truly, in order to achieve such a feat, one would need a vast amount of Wood Energy. Not to mention Fang Yuxin currently lacked such capability, even if she did possess it, she would never choose to act that way!

As the saying goes, "to possess a jade is to incur crime"; from ancient times to the present, people have never ceased pursuing longevity and youth. In ancient times, the nobles pursued life extension and youth. They made people perform alchemy, even resorting to drinking human blood or consuming the brain marrow of boys and girls; they could carry out the most heinous acts.

Although modern people are not as barbaric as the ancients, regardless of gender, anyone who is aged and able will focus on maintenance, whether by consuming wild game, precious medicines, or even resorting to surgeries to appear younger.

Today, her Healing Ability had already caught people’s attention; if she had such capability, she likely feared that some major figures nationally, perhaps even internationally, would target her!

Qu Qianhe and Fang Jintang appeared young partly because they are inherently focused on health and exercise, maintaining robust health, not just a shiny exterior with inner deficiencies.

The Bone Marrow Cleansing Fruit she used on them not only purged impurities from their bodies but also enhanced and transformed their bodies.

When they awakened their superpower, their bodies were once more enhanced and stimulated their vitality.

Following that, after absorbing multiple Elemental Crystals, their bodies continued to strengthen. Fang Yuxin had transferred a good amount of Wood Energy to them, further stimulating their vitality. The practice of superpower itself had transformative effects on the body, and later through Cultivation, their bodies underwent a transformation through nature’s spiritual energy, making their vitality even more vibrant. This accumulation of effects resulted in their bodies appearing much younger than in the past, looking merely in their late twenties, not even thirty.

In fact, not just Qu Qianhe and Fang Jintang, but other superpower users also experienced body enhancement during superpower awakening, Elemental Crystal absorption, Cultivation, and each promotion. Their vitality and blood became more vigorous, their vitality ever increasing, and their demeanor underwent a tremendous change.

For those who were older, their bodies after these enhancements appeared much younger, like General Song and General Li. For those who were younger and already vigorous, their development would accelerate, and their bodies would become more robust.

Zhou Fanghua was an older woman who paid special attention to her superpower awakening and her personal appearance. She had always quietly regarded Qu Qianhe as a rival; seeing her suddenly become younger, how could she not be shocked, jealous, and angry?

Regardless of other factors, Fang Yuxin was their Qiu Family’s prospective daughter-in-law. She possessed such abilities but was unwilling to help Qiu Hongsheng and her, what intentions could she have?

Zhou Fanghua’s meticulously trimmed fingernails dug into the soft flesh of her palm, nearly leading her to confront Fang Yuxin. Only the intense pain in her palm reminded her to remain clear-headed and not forget the purpose of her visit to the Fang Family, lest she lose more than she gained!

However, the shock Qu Qianhe gave her was too much. Despite her usual ability to conceal her emotions, this time she inadvertently exposed her inner feelings.

And this scene was quietly observed by Fang Yuxin and Qu Qianhe.

Qu Qianhe initially wanted to exchange pleasantries and invite her inside. However, seeing the jealousy and anger in Zhou Fanghua’s eyes, she changed her mind and decided, regardless of whether it might be too impolite, to directly address Zhou Fanghua, "It’s rather messy at home with guests, and you might not be comfortable inside. It’s better out here, the air is fresh, and the view is nice. If you have something to say, let’s talk here."

She said this with a smile, her voice soft and her smile gentle; even with such words, she did not come across as cold or inconsiderate, leaving no room for criticism.

Zhou Fanghua, however, turned blue with anger, her last thread of reason snapping. Her nail accidentally pierced her palm, causing pain that made her entire brow furrow.

Zhou Fanghua quickly lowered her head to inspect her hand, finding a nail-width cut from which bright red blood promptly oozed, creating a grotesque sight.

She quickly took out a silk handkerchief to press against the wound; the handkerchief was of real silk, with delicate embroidery, and whether sprayed with perfume or scented, it emitted a faint, elegant fragrance.

But in a moment, the water-blue handkerchief was stained with dark red blood, creating a jarring and grotesque contrast, ruining the aesthetic of the handkerchief itself.

Seeing this, Zhou Fanghua felt an agonizing pang—this was her favorite handkerchief, and she didn’t have many like it! The material, dye, and embroidery of the handkerchief were all exquisite, and it wasn’t cheap! Moreover, such items were hard to come by, in high demand but short supply before the apocalypse, and absolutely unobtainable after!

Now that the handkerchief was blood-stained and without proper cleaning facilities, it was completely ruined!

After mourning her handkerchief for a moment, her gaze towards Qu Qianhe and Fang Yuxin carried a hint of reproach.

Qu Qianhe, disliking Zhou Fanghua’s superior attitude, deliberately sighed, "Such a nice item, what a pity." Though she said this, Zhou Fanghua detected undeniable schadenfreude in her tone!

Zhou Fanghua clenched her teeth in hatred. The pain from her wound was already irritating, and with her beloved handkerchief destroyed, her mood soured further. Thus, she dispensed with further civilities with Qu Qianhe and bluntly said, "I have an important matter to discuss with you and Jintang, it’s not suitable here, is it?" said she, her brow furrowing in disgust.

On hearing this, Qu Qianhe’s heart skipped a beat, and she roughly guessed Zhou Fanghua’s purpose. After some thought, she deliberately said, "They are inside cooking hotpot, and it’s really smoky; you definitely wouldn’t bear it."

Hearing this, Zhou Fanghua’s brow furrowed deeply, her face full of disdain.
