Chapter 133: Chapter 128 Elixir

"Dad, Mom, Shitou, can we just stay in the new house tonight? Do we have to go back there? I really don’t want to," Lu Yun pleaded unwillingly with a chopstick between her teeth after dinner.

"Actually... I don’t want to go there either," Xia Yuan chimed in, her expression one of deep misery which made everyone laugh.

"Then let’s not go," Lu Aiguo said without much concern.

"Yay! Dad, you are so cool." Lu Yun cheered.

"Flatterer, you call that cool? This face is all disfigured, and only your mom doesn’t mind," Lu Aiguo said with annoyance as he lightly tapped her head with his chopsticks.

"Waaa, if I become stupid, it will be your fault," Lu Yun pretended to cry.

"I didn’t even hit you hard," Lu Aiguo said, feeling particularly wronged as even his wife glared at him fiercely.

"Hehe." Lu Yun giggled.

"Still laughing? I was hinting for your dad to hit harder," Xia Yuan said as she turned to glare at her daughter.

Waaa, is she really my mom? Lu Yun sulkily counted on her fingers and gave Xia Yuan a mournful look. Then she turned to Lu Aiguo with a smile, "Dad, I’ve got a special Elixir that can heal scars. Do you want to try it? It can work in just seven days."

In her previous life, Lu Yun had already gotten used to the scar on her father’s face, so she hadn’t thought much of it recently. In fact, she felt her father looked even better with the scar, cool even. But since her dad was bothered by it, it was better to remove it.

"An Elixir? Does it work?" Lu Aiguo paused. Xia Yuan and Shitou also looked hopefully at Lu Yun.

"Of course it works. If the scar wasn’t so deep, it would have healed in seven days, but as it stands, it’ll just show improvement in that time. It’ll take at least half a month to completely heal," she explained.

Lu Yun looked regretfully at the scar on her father’s face. It really was a shame to remove it...

"Then you should try it on your dad," Xia Yuan teased Lu Yun with a smile, "How come you didn’t bring out the medicine sooner?"

"I got used to it and forgot," Lu Yun pouted, accidentally letting the truth slip, "It’s a shame to get rid of it."

"Let’s just forget it. I’ve been used to it for so long, and when I go out, people give us respect because of it. It’s even convenient for doing business. As long as you don’t mind, that’s all that matters," Lu Aiguo responded, glancing at Lu Yun with a look that said ’great minds think alike.’ It seemed even his daughter had grown fond of his appearance. His wife often touched the scar with a pained expression. If it was gone... well, why bother removing it?

’When have I ever minded?’"

Xia Yuan stomped on Lu Aiguo’s foot under the table, grumbling, "It’s better not to remove it, lest you become too handsome without the scar and get hassled by young girls and other women when you go out."

Both Shitou and Lu Yun ducked their heads to hide their smiles. After laughing for a bit, Lu Yun calculated the time and looked up seriously at the others, "I’ve got a body conditioning Elixir here. We’ve all been adjusted well enough to use it now. Do you want to use it tonight, or wait a bit longer?"

She had intentionally told Shitou previously that it would take half a year, which was an extension of the real timeframe. It’s like knowing someone is waiting for you. If you’re twenty minutes away and say so without cushioning the time, if something unexpected happens and you take twenty-five minutes, it inevitably causes other ideas to form.

Better to say thirty minutes from the start. Then, arriving in twenty-five minutes puts the person waiting in a completely different mood.

"Let’s do it tonight," Shitou couldn’t wait any longer. He really couldn’t stand waiting even one more minute.

"Okay, Shitou’s is a soaking kind and requires waiting for two hours after dinner. Dad and Mom, yours don’t need to wait, and you can take them right away," Lu Yun glanced at Shitou and, seeing his eyes sparkle with anticipation, hurriedly explained.

"Why are there different kinds?" Lu Aiguo and Xia Yuan asked in surprise.

"The elixir currently comes in three types, the first one has the weakest effect and can be taken by anyone under any circumstance; the second one has a moderate effect but has certain physical requirements, the better the physical condition, the better the effect; the third type has the best effect, which is what Shitou will be using, it has even higher demands on the physical condition and the process is extremely painful, almost like undergoing torture, what’s more, you must persist for three months straight, and not miss a single time, because if you break the sequence just once unless you start all over, it’s all for naught, and the effect will be cut by more than half, only slightly better than the one with moderate effect,"

Lu Yun explained patiently.

"Then I’ll go for the best one too, right?" Any man would want to be the strongest. Lu Aiguo was no exception, and he conveniently ignored the part about it being very painful.

"I want it too." Since Lu Aiguo and Shitou chose the strongest one, Xia Yuan didn’t want to settle for the moderate one either.

"It’s not impossible, but it’s not really necessary, the moderate one can improve you just the same, and with continued use the effects are about the same."

Lu Yun hesitated. Considering their current physical states, all four of them could definitely withstand the strongest elixir. But based on her previous thoughts, there was no need for them to suffer... However, the effects being "about the same" still had a qualitative difference. In her previous life, her father got sick in his fifties, but if he had taken the strongest elixir, the chance of falling ill again would be zero. Her mother had an accident, but presumably, her health wasn’t that great either, or else she wouldn’t have just...

As long as they endure more hardship now, unless there’s a major accident, they can easily live past a hundred years old, and once she finishes creating the rest of the elixirs and uses them, extending life even more won’t be just a pipe dream.

Lu Yun couldn’t help but show a struggling expression on her face.

"There’s still a difference between ’about the same’ and ’the same.’ To endure the bitterness of bitterness is what makes someone superior. All four of us will go for the strongest one. We’ll start tonight. I’ll share a room with you, and dad can share with Shitou, having company will make it less unbearable," Xia Yuan said once she saw Lu Yun’s expression, knowing the "about the same" probably meant a huge difference, and with such a good opportunity at hand, how could she miss it? Thus she decided definitively.

"Okay. Just don’t regret it after trying, Dad and Mom," Lu Yun said with a gloomy face, looking at the three of them who were buzzing with excitement.

"Wife, I’ll stay with you, and let Xiaoyun be with Shitou. Xiaoyun is still young after all." Being seen uncovered wasn’t a big deal... Lu Aiguo moved closer to Xia Yuan with a sly smile.

"No way."

"No way."

Xia Yuan and Lu Yun protested in unison, their faces filled with indignation and shame.

"I was just joking around."

Lu Aiguo touched his nose, caving in all of a sudden, and muttered sheepishly.

Shitou shrugged his shoulders with his head down, his eyes flickering towards Lu Yun unintentionally and when he saw that she noticed, he flashed a teasing smile.

Lu Yun glared, her cheeks puffing up in anger.
