Chapter 815: Chapter 816: Go Home and Pay Tribute

With Sun Yiyi by his side, for Song Xiaodong to still focus on the medicinal recipe, it truly required immense concentration. Fortunately, Sun Yiyi also took this matter very seriously and maintained her distance from Song Xiaodong, fearing that he might succumb to her allure.

Fortunately, Song Xiaodong had received sufficient practice with Sun Yiyi around, and at this moment, without intense physical contact, he could also stabilize his mind.

The prescription that Sun Yiyi brought was definitely a very ancient one, which Song Xiaodong could tell at a glance, because the sequence of mixing the various herbs and the required heat had extremely stringent demands. The last time Song Xiaodong prepared medicine, he had already deeply experienced this.

In terms of pharmacology, Song Xiaodong could still understand the normal herbs, and the configuration was indeed very exquisite. However, after thinking for a long time, it seemed like he could make some sense of it, but there were many aspects that he couldn’t see through, unable to deduce what kind of effects would appear from the prescription.

"How is it?" Seeing Song Xiaodong raising his head, Sun Yiyi immediately asked.

Song Xiaodong shook his head and said, "This prescription is indeed very profound, but to be successful, it requires numerous trials, and I’m not very confident."

"Even you’re not very confident?" Sun Yiyi frowned.

Song Xiaodong said solemnly, "Yes, preparing this kind of medicine mainly requires a tradition. If we could practice it frequently, then of course the success rate would be very high, but such methods have been lost for many years. Even now with the prescription, we have to research anew. This involves differences in current drug properties compared to the past, and many other factors. It’s definitely not something as simple as just throwing the herbs in."

Sun Yiyi nodded and said, "I know, it must be someone very strong in both pharmacology and the nature of herbs who can do this, only such a person can truly master the timing of the herbal materials. These herbs are hard to find; I don’t have many at hand,"

Song Xiaodong shrugged and said, "Then I have even less certainty, so you must prepare for the possibility of failure, and it’s best to have more materials ready."

Sun Yiyi pouted and said, "It’s not that easy, these things are already very difficult to gather as is. Look at these materials, many of which I’ve never even heard of before. If not for the ancient texts describing their growth environments, I could never gather them in my lifetime."

Song Xiaodong sighed helplessly and said, "This is an opportunity that can’t be sought, everything depends on chance."

That was indeed the case, if such things could be easily mastered, masters would be everywhere.

"So, whether to do this or not, you really need to think it over, I’m truly not very confident," he said.

Sun Yiyi immediately said, "Do it, of course, there is no one more suitable than you. In our country, apart from you, there is no one who is both a kung fu master and a pharmacology expert. If you can’t do it, then others don’t even need to think about it."

Song Xiaodong said, "Since you’ve decided, then after the New Year’s, I’ll start experimenting."

Sun Yiyi blinked and said, "That’s true, it’s almost New Year, and being the head of the Su family, you definitely have a lot on your plate and can’t calm down to do this."

Song Xiaodong said helplessly, "Yes, being in that position, even if you want to be idle, it’s not that easy."

Sun Yiyi said, "Alright, that’s settled then. After the New Year, I’ll bring you the materials."

Having discussed everything, Sun Yiyi looked at Song Xiaodong and asked, "So, do we have anything else to do now?"

"Ah, seems like it..." Song Xiaodong looked at Sun Yiyi’s enticing eyes and felt his heart sway again.

Sun Yiyi giggled and said, "Then you better not think about anything, I don’t want you to go home and be unable to account for anything."

"Haha..." Song Xiaodong laughed heartily and said, "Thanks for letting me off the hook, Miss Sun Yiyi."

Sun Yiyi chuckled again, waved her hand, and quickly left.

The relationship between the two was quite intriguing, somewhat like lovers, somewhat like friends, yet not really either, or perhaps they might become enemies in the future, considering both are from major families.

When he got home, he went straight to his room where Miao Xuanxuan and Miao Qingqing were sitting on the bed, one holding a computer and the other a smartphone.

"You’re back so early? I thought you would be back later," Miao Xuanxuan raised her head, glanced at Song Xiaodong, then quickly stared back at her phone, her fingers flying rapidly as she was clearly engrossed in her game.

"Yeah, I came back after finishing up, I’m going to take a shower first."

Now that everyone was together, things were much easier every evening.

After taking a shower, Song Xiaodong went to bed, and Miao Qingqing and Miao Xuanxuan also put down their phone and computer, snuggling up to him.

"All traces eliminated?" Miao Xuanxuan sniffed and asked with a smile.

Song Xiaodong smiled and said, "Eliminated what traces? I just researched the prescription a bit and then came home."

Miao Qingqing said, "This is very important, right?"

Song Xiaodong replied, "Very important. If successful, I’ll be enhanced, and more assured in handling things in the future."

Miao Xuanxuan clenched a fist and said, "You’ll definitely make it, I have confidence in you."

Song Xiaodong laughed and said, "I have to make it, I can’t bear to leave my beautiful wives and ascend to heaven alone."

Miao Xuanxuan chuckled, "Yeah, if you died, we’d marry someone else, and you’d be green with envy down there."

Song Xiaodong put on a stern face and said, "Alright, little Xuanxuan, you’re getting naughtier, let’s see how your husband will deal with you tonight."

Miao Xuanxuan instantly challenged, "Come on, who’s afraid of who? Tonight my sister and I are going to battle you for three hundred rounds, making you bedridden tomorrow."

What followed was indescribably delightful, sleeping with such a pair of twin sisters was absolutely intoxicating. Even if Song Xiaodong wouldn’t admit it aloud, he knew that every moment he spent with them was most enjoyable.

The coordination between the two was indescribably perfect. Miao Qingqing used to be reserved, but under Miao Xuanxuan’s lead, she was becoming more open and enjoying it more. Eventually, Song Xiaodong couldn’t even tell them apart; he just engaged with whichever had the energy, without having to worry about neglecting someone and causing imbalance.
