198 The Truth About the Python’s Death
Old Madam Wang had seen Little Ah Yu with Chen Yuan yesterday, but she did not think too much about it.
So this was what they were talking about?
Because she didn’t know how much she and Chen Yuan had talked about, Old Madam Wang simply pretended to be stupid first. “I don’t know what Shopkeeper Chen means.”
“Senior, since we all want a better outcome, it’s naturally best to talk openly.” Chen Yuan did not expose Old Madam Wang’s plan, but his tone became a little cold. “Of course, if this involves other matters of your family, I naturally won’t be aggressive. After all, this is just business, not a conspiracy. Don’t you think so?”
Seeing that there was clearly no smile in Chen Yuan’s smiling eyes, Old Madam Wang did not care.
It was true that this person was repaying a favor, but their Wang Family did not lack this few hundred or thousand taels of silver now. There was no need to take any risks.
[Kid, why don’t you let him try drinking a glass of water first?]
Of course, it was not ordinary water, but pure Myriad Spirit Water.
Little Ah Yu now knew that it was best for children not to interrupt when adults were talking.
Therefore, Little Ah Yu sat obediently at the side and quietly took out the crispy candy to nibble on.
Now that she heard Meatball’s words, she still did not understand.
“Why must I give Uncle Chen water?”
[From the data now, Chen Yuan’s attitude towards you is still very good. His favorability is not bad.]
80 points was already extremely high, even higher than some people in Hu Family Village.
This meant that Chen Yuan did not have any ill intentions towards Little Ah Yu. He naturally wanted to discuss this business with her sincerely. It did not matter even if he suffered a temporary loss.
However, Meatball did not think that this was very safe.
Chen Yuan was related to a mission. This mission stated that they had to reach a deal with Chen Yuan. It could not let Old Madam Wang break off the transaction.
Generally speaking, the people that the system asked the kid to save on the missions would not pose any threat to the kid. They might even be very helpful.
This was already stipulated in the rules, and it had been verified in reality.
But Meatball still wanted to be safe.
[Do you know why the Myriad Spirit Water is called Myriad Spirit Water?]
Meatball saw that Old Madam Wang did not directly refuse Chen Yuan for the time being. The two of them were still fighting.
He might as well take this opportunity to explain it to the little kid.
Little Ah Yu bit the candy in her mouth and shook her head slightly. She even felt a little aggrieved. “I didn’t give the name!”
How would she know?
Why did it ask her?
[...I don’t want you to explain. I want to explain it to you.]
The little kid was young and had limited understanding, so he simplified his words.
[Myriad Spirit Water means that it can nourish all living beings.]
[However, there’s also some parameters. Generally speaking, if someone with good intentions drinks this water, they will at most have diarrhea and expel the impurities in their body, allowing their body to be more lively, which is healthier.]
[If it’s the Myriad Spirit Water that’s directly taken out, the effect will be very obvious. If it’s diluted, such as the one you placed in the water vat, soy milk, and the one you usually use in the bun shop, the effect will also be different according to the ratio.]
At this moment, Little Ah Yu roughly understood something. “It means that everyone will have diarrhea if they drink it. If they drink it directly, they will have diarrhea very quickly. If they add water and drink it again, they will have diarrhea later. Am I right?”
[You can think of it that way. Very good!]
Little Ah Yu was a little embarrassed, but she immediately puffed out her chest and blushed.
She had been praised again.
Old Madam Wang had yet to notice Little Ah Yu, so Meatball continued to tell her the most important part.
[We were talking about benefits just now, but now we’re talking about the disadvantages.]
Little Ah Yu’s mouth fell open, and the candy almost fell off. Her eyes were still filled with panic.
“Ah, there’s disadvantages?”
“Then what should we do? Everyone in the family has drunk it. Will they become bad?”
[Let me finish slowly. The downside is that if living beings with bad intentions drink it, they will also be purified, but this process will be very painful.]
[The more bad intentions that person has, the stronger the negative effects after drinking this water.]
The last sentence was a little complicated. Meatball simply gave Little Ah Yu an example.
[Do you still remember the big snake at home in winter?]
Little Ah Yu nodded obediently. She knew about the huge snake.
It was a big one. The entire village had eaten it.
[That huge snake must have done many bad things before it sensed the aura of the Myriad Spirit Water. It swallowed the water in one gulp.]
[However, the Myriad Spirit Water will purify the evil in its body. It was not mixed with water, so the effect was very strong. It was shocked on the spot. Later on, you fell on its head and it died before it could breathe.]
Little Ah Yu pretended to be enlightened.
“Oh-I didn’t understand.”
Meatball: [...]
Meatball could only explain again in simpler words.
This time, Little Ah Yu understood.
...
“Then if I give Uncle Chen water, I’ll know if he’s a good person?”
[You could say that.]
After all, just because he had a good impression of Little Ah Yu did not mean that Chen Yuan was a good person.
However, the Myriad Spirit Water could directly test if Chen Yuan had any ill intentions.
Especially when he was drinking the water. If he had any ill intentions, the effect would simply double.
If they had ill intentions towards the owner of the spatial pocket, it would be worse.
Back then, if that python did not have any killing intent towards Little Ah Yu, it would definitely not have died so suddenly.
Old Madam Wang and Chen Yuan were almost done talking. She turned her head and saw that Little Ah Yu’s expression was especially rich.
She roughly understood that she was probably talking to the Immortal.
She wondered what the Immortal thought of this.
Chen Yuan followed Old Madam Wang’s gaze and also wanted to look at Little Ah Yu. Old Madam Wang suddenly coughed.
...
“Grandma, are you alright?” Little Ah Yu was flustered. She even threw the crispy candy in her hand onto the table and jumped off the stool. She hurriedly ran to Old Madam Wang’s side with a nervous expression.
She was still asking in his heart, “Elf, Elf, what’s wrong with my Grandma? Isn’t she supposed to not get sick after drinking the water?”
Meatball had told Little Ah Yu that drinking Myriad Spirit Water often could maintain one’s health.
[Don’t worry, she’s fine.]
Almost at the same time, Old Madam Wang said, “Ah Yu, don’t be anxious. Grandma is fine.”
Little Ah Yu climbed onto the table and reached for the teapot, wanting to pour a cup of water for Old Madam Wang.
[Put your hands closer.]
Little Ah Yu held the teapot with both hands and suddenly felt the teapot lighten.
[I’ve changed the water. Pour them each a glass.]
Little Ah Yu picked up the teapot and poured a cup for Old Madam Wang first.
Old Madam Wang looked at the water in the cup. It had changed from light green tea to pure water.
She immediately felt her eyebrows twitch.
This child.
Little Ah Yu hurriedly poured a second cup and pushed it in front of Chen Yuan.
Chen Yuan did not notice at all. He only took the water from Little Ah Yu.
He took a sip, but it was unexpectedly cold.
Chen Yuan felt that something was wrong. It was only the middle of April, and the weather had yet to warm up. How could the waiter serve herbal tea?
“This tea...” Not only did it not have the taste of tea, it was also strangely sweet.
However, before Chen Yuan could speak, he suddenly felt something brewing in his stomach, and his expression changed drastically.
“Excuse me for a moment!” Chen Yuan hurriedly said. He couldn’t care less about being rude. He pushed his chair away and suddenly ran out of the private room.
Little Ah Yu watched Chen Yuan run away and turned around to meet Old Madam Wang’s gaze.
Old Madam Wang gently put down the teacup in her hand. “Ah Yu, why are you doing this?”
