Chapter 70: Let’s Swallow Together
Yang Wei revealed the dazzling Qi Rejuvenation pill to Elder Jing. Although Yang Wei managed to refine the pill successfully, Elder Jing merely shook her head with a tinge of disappointment.
“Only one pill mark and the purity is not 85 percent” Elder Jing grabbed the pill slowly and explained the result.
Yang Wei wasn’t disappointed that he didn’t achieve 85 percent purity. He was glad to be able to refine a pill in three attempts.
However, Lian Xinyue was different as she showed a wicked grin at Yang Wei.
Lian Xinyue turned around to face Elder Jing and with an innocent tone, she said, “If I remember correctly, Elder Jing said if Yang Wei failed to achieve an 85 percent purity then he must swallow the purplish-looking pill.”
Yang Wei turned pale at her remark and wanted to slap her mouth for reminding Elder Jing.
‘What did I do to offend you, Lian Xinyue? How could you be so cold-blooded and push me to hell?’ Yang Wei cried inwardly as he slowly sneaked a glance at Elder Jing.
“E-Elder Jing… you were joking before right. There’s no way you would have meant it.” Yang Wei said slowly, hoping Elder Jing would call it off and leave him a leeway.
Lian Xinyue saw Elder Jing pondering and decided to take this opportunity to mess with Yang Wei even though he rescued her before when she was about to be killed by Xian Min.
“Elder Jing, you’re an elder and it would be bad if others found out that you don’t follow your words.” Lian Xinyue exclaimed while showing a wide grin at Yang Wei.
Yang Wei trembles in anger as he could not believe Lian Xinyue would backstab him like this.
Not only was she not grateful to him for saving her life but she was even evil enough to entice Elder Jing to punish him.
Lian Xinyue smirked at Yang Wei. ‘Heh, I will repay the gratitude later on but for now, let’s see you suffer some pain first.’
Meanwhile, Elder Jing coughed slightly as she glanced at Yang Wei.
“Indeed, I have said that you would swallow this pill if you failed to refine at least 85 percent purity on the Qi Rejuvenation pill.” Elder Jing said slowly as she retrieved the pill from her spatial ring.
However, instead of one pill, there were two pills in her hand, causing Yang Wei to tremble in fear.
‘Elder Jing wouldn’t be this evil to make me swallow two of these pills in one go right?’ Yang Wei exclaimed inwardly as he took a step back slowly.
When Lian Xinyue saw Yang Wei tried to retreat, she hurriedly ran forward and pushed his back to make him go forward.
“A man can never go back on his promise and should fulfill their words.” Lian Xinyue whispered softly in Yang Wei’s ear.
Yang Wei held a bitter and wrongful expression as he was scammed and trapped by the scheming and evil Lian Xinyue.
‘Lian Xinyue, if there’s a chance in life, I would make sure you suffer like what you did to me today.’ Yang Wei vowed to get this revenge.
This revenge wasn’t too far off because Elder Jing hadn’t finished her words and when she did, Yang Wei held a happy face.
“Here are two pills and since Lian Xinyue has protested before to stay and spectate Yang Wei’s alchemy skills so she has a fault as well for Yang Wei’s failure to obtain 85 percent. Thus, the two of you would swallow this pill and I expect zero objection.” Elder Jing exclaimed as she glared at Lian Xinyue who tried to open her mouth to refuse.
Yang Wei clapped his hand and started giggling. ‘Ah, karma always comes so fast and furious that you can never escape from it.’
Yang Wei was glad to have a companion to enjoy his misery, especially when it’s from a person that held a malicious intent on him.
Elder Jing didn’t say anything further as she flung the two pills to Lian Xinyue and Yang Wei. Yang Wei grabbed the pill with a smile while Lian Xinyue grabbed the pill with a bitter smile.
Yang Wei glanced at Lian Xinyue who held a pitiful and depressed expression.
He smiled at her and said, “Let’s swallow together, Lian Xinyue.”
Lian Xinyue twitched her mouth slightly on Yang Wei’s cheeky face.
“Aren’t you being a little too rude to your senior?” Lian Xinyue said as she clenched on the pill tightly but didn’t dare to crush it into pieces because Elder Jing would increase her punishment further.
“I’m not being rude.” Yang Wei said and continued, “I just thought it would be better if we both swallow the pill at the same time so our duration would remain the same.”
Lian Xinyue heaved a soft sigh and stared at Yang Wei, “Sigh, I apologize for my immature behavior. So, let’s forget about the farce after we swallow this pill.”
“I accept your apology, now let’s cheer for our next glory moment.” Yang Wei forgives her action since it was obvious that she was a bit jealous of his relationship with Elder Jing.
Thus, with a smile on both their faces, they swallowed the pill together at the same time.
Gulp!
“Blergh, not just the aroma but the taste is extremely bitter as well.” Lian Xinyue exclaimed as she stuck her tongue out on the bitter taste that still lingered around.
Yang Wei wasn’t any better as he started drinking some water to clean off the bitterness in his tongue.
“What is the effect of this pill, Elder Jing?” Yang Wei asked softly while continuing to chug some water down his throat.
“Hmm, the effect of the pill?” Elder Jing made a pondering expression before recalling the effect.
“Ah, the effect is nothing much but your stomach might start grumbling and you would be required to take a dump every minute or so.”
Elder Jing said with a teasing tone as she stuck her tongue out and walked away, almost like she had nothing to do with their next activity.
