When the pointer stopped at the position of 'Dali Jingang Pills x2' and refused to budge even a millimeter, Ren Yuanhao almost leaped out of the void.
“With this rotten luck, I’ll probably never find a wife in this lifetime, will I?”
“No, no, no, your rotten luck is what your seven years of life compressed for you. Whether you find a wife or not is entirely up to your own will.”
Ren Yuanhao grabbed the gift box, paid no mind to what the system was saying, and directly swallowed the two ‘Dali Jingang Pills’ into his belly!
However, when people are in a state of excitement, they often forget old wounds and past pains.
After the two pills entered his stomach, Ren Yuanhao initially felt nothing. But when he prepared to circulate his internal energy, all his limbs felt as if they had been run over by wheels, and a tearing, crushing pain followed suit!
Two streams of blood suddenly spurted from the corners of his mouth. This was merely the initial manifestation of the elixir. Moreover, this time he had consumed two pills, and the pain had doubled. He felt as if his nerve endings were being scraped and cut by countless sharp little blades, and piercing, bone-chilling pain permeated every single cell.
He gritted his teeth, his stomach began to spasm, and then, even his brain began to pound wildly within his skull, like a basketball desperately hitting a concrete floor. Every impact produced a noise like thousands of silver needles frantically piercing every fold within his brain.
“Waaah~”
The intense pain made him vomit uncontrollably, and his entire body felt like it was burning!
At this moment, Yang Lingxue heard the commotion and barged into Ren Yuanhao’s room. She saw Ren Yuanhao curled up in a corner, his face as red as if he had eaten a spicy African millet, his breath like a fire dragon’s exhalation, his face distorted like a demon, and his whole body trembling as if poisoned!
“Yuanhao!”
Yang Lingxue’s first reaction was that he had been poisoned by the fish soup she made. Tears streamed down her face. She immediately used a sweat towel to wipe away the blood and filth, shouting for ‘Shen Lan Ni’ and Ye Lan.
Hearing her call, the two women, along with the dog, rushed in.
“What’s going on?”
Shen Lan Ni looked at the opened martial arts manual on the bed, then reached out to feel Ren Yuanhao’s pulse. The moment she touched it, she felt immense waves of true qi scattering and colliding, nearly tearing Ren Yuanhao’s body apart. It was as if two nuclear-like energy masses were congealing inside him, constantly churning his internal organs.
“Could it be that my annotations and understanding were mistaken? Is that why he’s suffered qi deviation?”
Shen Lan Ni’s logical guess led her to recall that everything seemed normal when she practiced herself.
“No, it’s all my fault. I made him drink the fish soup. It must be that!”
Yang Lingxue’s tears fell like transparent pearls.
“Don’t be silly. His body is being pulled by some unknown force,” Shen Lan Ni said, placing her hands on Ren Yuanhao’s back. As soon as her true qi was injected into Ren Yuanhao’s body, it was like pouring into a vast river, completely ineffective!
“Ye Lan, come help me. Everyone else, get out!”
As soon as she finished speaking, Ye Lan also placed her palms on Ren Yuanhao’s back. However, the two pills were currently exerting tremendous power, and the true qi was leaking out extremely exaggeratedly. The windows began to rattle violently as if in a typhoon, and the two women’s clothes also made ripping sounds like tearing silk.
This state persisted for a full two hours. When Ren Yuanhao finally woke up, the setting sun had already slanted westward. The orange-yellow light filtered through the cracked glass window, casting a spectacular seven-colored radiance.
He stretched out his palm and felt his muscles filled with explosive power. But the next moment, his face turned crimson, as if he had drunk strong liquor, and in the setting sun, his blush became even more pronounced.
“Holy crap? What’s going on? Did I do something beastly?”
His clothes were already torn to shreds, barely better than being naked. Even more terrifying was that the two graceful and beautiful women lying at his legs were in a similar state!
Just then, Yang Lingxue and the dog rushed into the room at the opportune moment.
“Ah!”
The dog and Yang Lingxue let out a startled cry simultaneously.
“Damn it, listen to me, it’s completely different from what you see. I~”
Bang!
The door slammed shut, kicking up swirling dust.
“Ren Yuanhao, I never thought you were this kind of person!” Yang Lingxue, her face flushed, hugged the trembling dog, as if only the dog’s warmth could comfort her shock and sorrow.
“Hey, you’ve misunderstood. I also just woke up, hey!”
“Hmph, you scummy men always forget things after doing such things. Don’t think I don’t know!”
The dog nodded, delivering a precise final blow.
“Don’t you know what kind of person I, Ren Yuanhao, am? Alright, don’t be angry. I don’t have any clothes here. I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you to find me some clothes.”
Ren Yuanhao knew this woman was always sharp-tongued but soft-hearted. As long as he conceded, she wouldn’t hold a grudge.
Ren Yuanhao was quite accurate in his assessment. Yang Lingxue quickly found a set of pajamas, hummed, opened the door, and threw them in.
“To think that I, the eldest daughter of the Yang family, am happy to watch dramas and gorge on chips and spicy snacks alone, yet I fell for a heartless person like you. And after you did that thing, I still have to obey you. Where is my dignity!”
The dog licked her face at the right moment as a form of comfort, its eyes conveying a sense of shared indignation.
“Hey, although I don’t know what happened, you could at least use your brain a little and guess, right? I was almost dead just now, how could I have had the mood for such a thing?” Ren Yuanhao had already put on his clothes and walked out. He extended a hand to Yang Lingxue, who was crouching on the ground.
Yang Lingxue looked up. Whether it was an illusion or not, she felt that Ren Yuanhao had grown a little taller, and even his spirit and bearing were different from before.
“Alright, I’m not some flesh-eating monster. Don’t look at me like that, okay? Besides, I’ve already explained. Whether you believe me or not is up to you.”
Ren Yuanhao’s smile was like clouds clearing to reveal the sun, making people feel as if they were basking in the spring breeze. In fact, Yang Lingxue knew very well that Ren Yuanhao was the kind of man who could remain unmoved by temptation. The scene just now had only made her a little jealous.
“I forgive you. If I don’t believe you, who else can I believe?”
After saying that, Yang Lingxue fetched some clothes for Ye Lan and Shen Lan Ni as well and personally helped them change. Meanwhile, Ren Yuanhao was squatting on the ground, discussing something with the dog.
“Miss Jing, it’s almost 5 o’clock now. I think it’s time to start gathering our people. You should stay safe. No matter what happens, my three friends will ensure your safety.”
The dog’s eyes turned a little dejected, and its paws continuously tapped on the screen. The screen read, ‘You make it sound like a final farewell. You could have avoided getting involved in this mess.’
