Whether it was the rejuvenating pill or the Purple Lightning Crocodile Armor, both were incredibly precious items. As the anger on Master Jennifer’s face subsided, Leo approached her with the rejuvenating pill and armor in hand.
“Hold on! Don’t think you can bribe me with these things. I don’t want them. I’ll forgive you this time, but if there’s a next time, I’ll definitely kill you!” Master Jennifer said, biting her red lips and sheathed her sword, turning to leave.
Watching Master Jennifer’s graceful figure, Leo hesitated for a moment. Then, he quickly reappeared three meters in front of her.
“You can take these things. Even without what happened earlier, I intended to give you the elixirs and armor,” Leo spoke honestly. He held five pills and twenty pieces of armor, so giving one to Master Jennifer was no big deal.
“Really?” Master Jennifer looked at Leo again, a hint of surprise in her voice.
“Of course, it’s true. Take them,” Leo said sincerely.
“These things are very valuable, I…” Master Jennifer began, but Leo handed her the armor and pills.
Master Jennifer hesitated for a moment, but this time, she didn’t refuse, not wanting to appear too obstinate. She examined the snow-white pills in her hand and asked, “Can this little pill really keep me looking the same for twenty-five years?”
“Let time be the judge of that. By the way, after taking the pill, remember to take a bath,” Leo said with a mischievous smile.
The mention of a bath irritated Master Jennifer, and she shot Leo a fierce glare, not understanding the connection between taking a pill and bathing.
“All right, I’m heading back to the city. Goodbye,” Leo waved to Master Jennifer and left.
As he made his way back, Leo received a call from August again. This time, it was another challenge, this time in the game of go. Leo didn’t refuse.
In the evening, after dinner, Leo took Sophia to the bedroom. Sophia pulled away from Leo’s hand and asked with a hint of embarrassment, “You naughty boy, what are you up to?”
Leo reached into his pocket and took out a bottle of Coral, from which he poured out a rejuvenating pill and handed it to Sophia. “Sophia, take this.”
“What is this?” Sophia asked.
“This is a rejuvenating pill. I’ve personally refined it from herbs. Taking it will keep you looking the same for twenty-five years,” Leo explained.
“Really?” Sophia’s eyes lit up with interest.
Leo nodded and placed the pill in Sophia’s hand. Sophia trusted Leo and swallowed it without hesitation.
The pill melted instantly in her mouth, turning into a cool liquid that traveled down her throat and spread throughout her body.
“It feels a bit cold,” Sophia said softly. She could feel the cool sensation on her skin.
“What’s this?” Suddenly, Sophia lifted a finger and touched her cheek.
“Why is there something black on my face?” Sophia looked at her finger in surprise, noticing a faint black substance on it.
In no time, Sophia found a mirror and examined herself. On her beautiful face, a faint black substance was seeping out from beneath her skin.
Not only on her cheeks but also on her exposed arms, she felt the same black substance. It seemed to be all over her body.
“What are these black things?” Sophia exclaimed. These black substances were sticking to her body, slightly sticky and greasy, with an unpleasant odor.
“People eat various grains, so even those with pretty fair skin will accumulate impurities under their skin. The expulsion of impurities from the skin is one of the effects of the Beauty Pill,” Leo explained with a smile.
“Embarrassing, I need to take a bath,” Sophia put down the mirror and prepared to head to the bathroom.
“Wait, I have one more Vitality Pill here. Take it, and it will enhance your physical condition,” Leo stopped Sophia and handed her a Vitality Pill.
“All right, got it. I’m going to take a bath,” Sophia nodded and took the pill. With her body covered in these black substances, she couldn’t tolerate it.
After Sophia entered the bathroom, the sound of running water soon echoed from within. Leo sat on the edge of the bed, playing with his phone, waiting quietly.
Almost an hour later, Sophia emerged from the bathroom. She had changed into a well-fitted light purple nightgown, and her perfect body curves were subtly visible beneath the fabric, making Leo’s eyes light up.
Sophia already had great skin, fair and smooth, with a beautiful face. Now, her exposed skin was as smooth as snow, flawless, and nearly perfect like the finest ivory. Her facial contours had become even more exquisite.
Noticing Leo’s intense gaze, Sophia blushed.
In fact, after her bath, she had also examined herself in the mirror. Leo’s pills were truly miraculous. After cleansing the impurities, her skin had become flawless, exceptionally smooth, and had a translucent quality.
“My wife is the most beautiful woman in the world,” Leo sincerely praised, then stood up, walked over to Sophia, and couldn’t resist kissing her tender red lips.
…
The next day, 2:00 PM, Extensive Martial Arts Training Center.
Many people had already gathered at the Extensive Martial Arts Training Center, and most of them were prominent figures in Langstel.
Today, August and Jack were going to have a chess match here. In the center of the hall, there was a large stone-carved chessboard, and a pot of high-quality tea was prepared on the side.
As people entered the hall, they greeted the disciples of the Extensive Martial Arts Training Center, took their seats, sipped tea, and quietly chatted.
August sat on one side of the chessboard, and after a female disciple from the Extensive Martial Arts Training Center had brewed his tea, he gently blew on it and took a sip, showing a satisfied expression.
For today’s chess match, to give Jack the maximum challenge, August had invited many influential figures from Langstel.
Just as August was about to retort Jack’s jest, he glanced behind Jack and felt his heart sink. Jack had brought a young and an elderly man with him.
