Chapter 129: Chapter 129: Medicine Materials Worth 5 Million

"Mommy, will you take a bath with me, please?"

"Nian Nian, you can’t play with water..."

Su Luo sat in the living room and faintly heard the cheerful laughter and chatter coming from the bathroom where Xia Yi and Nian Nian were, which stirred a peculiar feeling in his heart.

He had found that ever since he discovered Nian Nian was his biological daughter, he had quickly become integrated into this family.

If it weren’t for the fact he had become a cultivator and already had Aunt Shen and Lin Ruoxi as women in his life, perhaps he would have pursued Xia Yi regardless of everything, and married her.

But now, the situation was different.

Unlike with Aunt Shen and Lin Ruoxi, with whom he had already slept and established a de facto marital relationship, there had been nothing of the sort between him and Xia Yi.

Even though Nian Nian was his biological daughter, from Xia Yi’s attitude, it seemed she had no intention of finding out who Nian Nian’s biological father was.

It meant she just wanted to raise her daughter alone, and him pretending to be Nian Nian’s father was just an accident.

Therefore, even if he wanted to take responsibility, Xia Yi might not be willing.

That was also why Su Luo, despite knowing Nian Nian was his biological daughter, had not yet announced it, deciding to wait for a more appropriate time in the future.

While Su Luo was lost in these thoughts, Xia Yi had finished bathing Nian Nian, changed her into pajamas, and walked out from the bathroom.

"Daddy, I’ve finished my bath, I’ll be waiting in bed for you to tell me a story," Nian Nian waved at Su Luo, smiling adorably.

Su Luo looked over and waved back at Nian Nian, but his gaze, irresistibly, was drawn to Xia Yi.

It was nothing else.

But because Xia Yi’s white clothes had been soaked, they now clung tightly to her body, perfectly outlining her figure.

Even the black lace bra was faintly visible.

It was a kind of semi-translucent wet temptation.

Su Luo quickly turned his head away, not because he thought it improper to look, but rather because he feared his body would react uncontrollably.

"Daddy, why aren’t you looking at Nian Nian?"

Nian Nian asked.

Su Luo could only turn his head back and replied, "Nian Nian, be good and go to bed first. Daddy will come tell you a story in a bit."

"Mmhm." Nian Nian obediently nodded her head.

Only then did Xia Yi carry Nian Nian into the bedroom and place her on the bed.

Afterward, Xia Yi finally noticed that her upper body had become wet from bathing Nian Nian, and her clothes clung to her body.

The white clothes, when soaked, were almost see-through.

She finally understood why Su Luo had turned his head away just now, which made Xia Yi’s face blush, yet at the same time, a smile couldn’t help but spread across her lips.

His gesture warmed her heart.

Soon after, Xia Yi changed into a fresh set of clothes and walked out of the bedroom again.

"Sister Yi, if you don’t mind, you go ahead and take a bath. I’ll go tell Nian Nian a story, and after she falls asleep, I’ll go back," Su Luo said, looking at Xia Yi.

"Okay," Xia Yi nodded.

She took some clean clothes and entered the bathroom, while Su Luo walked into Xia Yi’s room.

A faint fragrance made Su Luo feel at ease.

The room’s arrangement was also very warm and cozy.

It was evident that Xia Yi was a woman who paid great attention to the details of life.

"Daddy, come on, come quickly!"

Nian Nian, seeing Su Luo, eagerly called him up to the bed.

Thinking that this was the bed Xia Yi slept in every day, Su Luo couldn’t help but feel his heartbeat accelerating, especially when he sat on the bed, as if he could sense Xia Yi’s presence.

Moreover, the bedroom door was not closed, and the sound of trickling water could be heard from the adjacent bathroom.

At that moment, Su Luo even felt a surge of impulse to probe with his Divine Sense.

Of course, such an evil thought vanished as quickly as it had come.

Soon after, Su Luo took a deep breath, calmed his mind, and immersed himself in interacting with his daughter. He told Nian Nian stories and, at the same time, quietly channeled his True Qi through her hand, nurturing her body with his energy.

When Xia Yi finished bathing and returned to the bedroom, Su Luo looked at her and said softly, "Nian Nian has fallen asleep."

The comfort of having her body nourished with True Qi, combined with the security of her father’s stories, allowed Nian Nian to sleep soundly.

"Su Luo, thank you," Xia Yi whispered in gratitude.

"Sister Yi, there’s no need to be so formal. Nian Nian is my daughter too," Su Luo said with a smile. He quietly rose from the bedside and got off the bed.

"I’m leaving now. If there’s anything, just give me a call," Su Luo said as he was about to leave. Xia Yi opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something to keep him there, but in the end, she didn’t say a word.

After all, what would it mean if she asked Su Luo to stay?

Especially considering their rented apartment was just a one-bedroom, one-living room, one-kitchen, and one-bathroom unit, with no spare room for Su Luo to stay.

It couldn’t possibly be that she was inviting Su Luo to sleep with her, could it?

...

After leaving Xia Yi’s home, Su Luo didn’t go anywhere else but returned directly to the Su Family Ancestral House.

Zhou Ye had come back.

And he had brought back a large batch of medicinal herbs from the black market!

"Mr. Su, hundred-year-old medicinal herbs are highly priced on the black market, and even at such prices, they are scarce. It’s not possible to get them in a short time, but according to your requirements, these are all over twenty years old."

"These five herbs are between fifty and sixty years old. I kept them separately."

Zhou Ye laid out the herbs he brought back in front of Su Luo.

Although the herbs didn’t look like a mountainous pile, they often required competitive bidding and overpricing on the black market, costing nearly five million in total.

This meant that half of the ten million Su Luo received from Chen Boxiong was spent in an instant.

However, Su Luo didn’t mind the expense.

On the contrary, he was somewhat excited.

With these herbs, even without those aged a century, at least they were all over twenty years old and plentiful in quantity, enough to make a breakthrough in his cultivation realm.

"Wait here for a moment," Su Luo didn’t start cultivating immediately but asked Zhou Ye to wait while he took some herbs and entered the kitchen.

Zhou Ye didn’t understand why, but he waited as instructed by Su Luo.

An hour later.

Su Luo came out with seven elixirs that didn’t look very appealing.

"These elixirs were made in a sand pot. They don’t look great, but their efficacy is still good. You can cultivate here tonight," Su Luo handed the elixirs to Zhou Ye.

Zhou Ye was stunned.

Alchemy with a sand pot?

It was the first time he heard of such a thing, but smelling the medicinal fragrance from the elixirs and remembering the miraculous effects of the elixirs he had taken from Su Luo before, Zhou Ye didn’t hesitate and swallowed one immediately.

The elixir melted as soon as it entered his mouth.

That alone proved the magic of the elixir.

In an instant, Zhou Ye felt a pure force seeping into every part of his body. He hurriedly sat down cross-legged and began to refine the medicinal power with his Inner Strength.

Su Luo didn’t bother with him anymore.

He took the rest of the herbs and entered another room.

As for Su Luo himself, he didn’t need to make elixirs; after all, his goal was to absorb the spiritual energy and medicinal properties from the herbs to enhance his cultivation.

He grabbed a stem of Polygonum multiflorum, stuffed it into his mouth, chewed, and swallowed, then began refining it with the Chaos Creation Technique.
