Tang Guosheng accepted Tan Xiu's suggestion and even impatiently went to the bathroom to turn on the water, and then dropped a drop of Body Refining Potion into the warm water.
****!
It was as if countless ants were crawling in his body. It was not painful, but it was very itchy. What made Tang Guosheng somewhat confused was that the originally clear hot water gradually became muddy as his body soaked in it. Even after more than ten minutes, when the itchy feeling was almost unbearable, he found that the hot water had become even more turbid, as if a large amount of dirt had been poured into it.
"It's too smelly!"
Tang Guosheng wanted to climb out of the bath, but thinking of his grandson's exhortation that he must soak for more than half an hour, he could only endure and bear it.
"It's too hot."
Tang Guosheng's face was dripping with sweat. When he inadvertently raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his face, he suddenly found that his hand was unexpectedly stained with a lot of grayish-black dirt.
What's going on?
Tang Guosheng was dumbfounded. He rubbed his face hard and found that his hand was stained with more grayish-black dirt. Even the stench was more intense.
"Ah …"
When it was almost half an hour, Tang Guosheng finally could not bear the feeling of soreness and numbness in his body and jumped out of the bath. His movements were very agile, just like a strong young man in his prime. His bare feet steadily stepped on the ground outside the bath. Moreover, the first thing he did after coming out of the bath was to look in the mirror.
"My face …"
Tang Guosheng looked at himself in the mirror and was stunned because he found that there was a large amount of grayish-black viscous substance on his face. Although he had scratched off a lot of it, there was still a lot left. Suddenly, he realized why the hot water in the bath had become turbid. It should be because of … something on his body.
Tan Xiu, with a cigarette in the corner of his mouth, was comfortably sitting on the recliner in the courtyard. Beside him was a fragrant tea with smoke curling up from it. It was personally brewed by his grandmother, Qin Changyue.
"Xiu, your grandfather is really strange today. Before he went out in the morning, I remember that he had already taken a bath. Usually, he would only take a bath at night when he was busy or in the summer. It's such a cold day, why did he think of taking a bath? "
Qin Changyue moved a chair over and sat beside Tan Xiu with a puzzled expression.
Tang Xiu let out a faint smile and said, "Well, Grandpa is very particular about hygiene, Grandma. I think you should also take a hot bath later. When you turn 100 years old, I'll prepare for your 100th birthday celebration!"
"You're such a sweet talker."
A smile blossomed on Qin Changyue's aged face. She intimately pulled Tan Xiu's hand, unwilling to let go. "Grandson, grandma wants to ask you something?"
Tan Xiu nodded and said with a smile, "Go ahead."
A trace of curiosity was revealed on Qin Changyue's face as she asked, "Grandson, you're not young anymore. According to past habits, you should've already gotten married at your age, and some of your children are already old enough. What about you? Do you have a girlfriend now? "
Tan Xiu was at a loss whether he had to laugh or cry as he replied, "Grandma, I'm only 20 years old, 21 years old. I'm still a few years away from the legal age for marriage! Moreover, I'm still studying at the University, and I have to focus on my studies. How can I have so much time to talk about love? "
Qin Changyue argued, "Grandson, you can't say it like that. You just said that you have to focus on your studies when you're studying. Then how come I heard that you still have time to do business? It seems that your business is quite prosperous. Think about it, our Tang Family has a big business, and we don't lack money the least. So why do you still work so hard to make money? I say, ah! You should use your time to make money to have a girlfriend and enjoy the youthful passion that young people should have. Isn't that good? "
Speaking up to here, she hesitated for a moment and then lowered her voice as she said again, "Grandma is old, and I'm already an old woman who has already stepped into the yellow earth. Who knows when I'll pass away. Now, while Grandma's body is still healthy, you should find a girlfriend as soon as possible and get married as soon as possible. Give birth to a great-grandson for me. If you don't have time to take care of him, Grandma can raise my great-grandson to be white and fat. "
Cough, cough …
Tan Xiu suddenly coughed a few times upon hearing his grandmother's words. He then helplessly said, "Grandma, didn't I just say it? You can live to a ripe old age. "
Qin Changyue snappily scolded him with a smile, "Brat, don't make trouble. Grandma is talking to you seriously. "
Tan Xiu helplessly said, "Alright, alright, alright. I know you're talking about a serious matter. How about this, I'll look around some other day and try to find a girlfriend for you. I'll strive to give birth to a bunch of great-grandchildren for you in a few years. Let me count with my fingers. A regular soccer team has 11 members, and the ten fingers on my two hands are not enough. What should I do?! "
"Pfft …"
Qin Changyue was amused by Tan Xiu's words. Just as she was about to speak, she found her husband, Tang Guosheng, coming out of the bathroom. At this moment, she forcefully swallowed back her words as the smile on her face suddenly froze. Even though it was in the evening, she could still clearly see her husband's appearance under the illumination of the lights in the courtyard.
Tan Xiu followed his grandmother's line of sight. When he saw Tang Guosheng's appearance, he immediately jumped up from the rocking chair and broke free from Qin Changyue's hand. He dashed to Tang Guosheng's front and circled him several times before sighing, "The effect is really remarkable. Grandpa, I advise you not to go out in the next few days. Otherwise, many people won't be able to recognize you. "
After Tang Guosheng had just washed his body and looked at himself in the mirror, he was startled by his reflection. Originally, his face was full of wrinkles and even had a few age spots. But his reflection in the mirror had fewer wrinkles and the age spots had also disappeared. The most important thing was that he seemed to have become ten years younger all of a sudden.
Moreover!
There was another thing that made him blush. His little brother, which he hadn't felt for many years, actually had a faint sign of raising its head. After being aware of this situation, he awkwardly stayed in front of the mirror for a long time and didn't say a word.
Tang Guosheng looked at Tan Xiu with a bit of excitement and said, "Xiu, this Body Refining Potion is really miraculous. Although it's hard to bear when I'm taking a bath, the effect is simply amazing. I feel that my strength has increased a lot. Even if my fist can't kill a cow, it should be no problem for me to kill a little sheep, right? Hahaha … "
"After some time, when my strength becomes stronger and I can get more cultivation resources, I'll help you refine a medicinal pill. At that time, even if it can't make you younger, it won't be a problem for you to live for eight to ten years." Tan Xiu said with a smile.
"A medicinal pill that can increase one's lifespan?"
Tang Guosheng stared blankly for a moment before his expression drastically changed and he asked excitedly.
"Yes, it's indeed a medicinal pill that can increase one's lifespan." Tan Xiu nodded.
Tang Guosheng excitedly rubbed his hands. He suddenly raised his head and said in a deep voice, "Xiu, the fact that you can refine a medicinal pill that can increase one's lifespan must not be spread out easily. It will be of great use to me after you refine it. "
"You mean … to use it like the Body Refining Potion?" Tan Xiu probed.
"With the Body Refining Potion and the medicinal pill that can increase one's lifespan, I'm absolutely sure that our Tang Family will become the biggest family in China in the next 20 years," said Tang Guosheng without hesitation. "Perhaps you still can't understand it, Xiu. But let me tell you something. The more power one has, the more one is afraid of death. Which of the people standing at the top of the pyramid in our country isn't 60 or 70 years old? At that time … hmph! "
"If so, then I'll leave it to you, Grandpa." Tan Xiu clapped his hands and said with a smile. "Medicinal pills are not a problem, though it's unlikely in the near future. But I'll definitely give you a batch after the New Year."
Tang Guosheng heavily nodded. The way he looked at Tan Xiu was as though he was looking at the most precious treasure in the world.
Qin Changyue's eyes brightened as she listened to the conversation between the two of them. After asking for the specific reason, she hurriedly took the Body Tempering Potion and entered the bathroom. When she came out again, it was as if she had become a different person. It was as if she had suddenly become ten years younger. Even her head of white hair had turned black.
On this night.
For Tang Guosheng and Qin Changyue, it was as though they were reborn. Their feelings for Tan Xiu had also reached the limit due to the changes in their bodies. For them, the most important person in the world was probably this grandson.
Early the next morning.
Tan Xiu, who had just returned from his morning exercise, saw several nannies gathering and whispering. With his keen hearing, he knew that they were talking about the changes in his grandfather and grandmother's appearance. He immediately felt happy inwardly. He really wanted to see how the other members of the Tang Family would react when they saw his grandfather and grandmother.
Sure enough.
Most of the members of the Tang Family who had received Tang Guosheng's call came in a hurry. When they saw the changes of the Old Man and Old Lady, each and every one of them stared with their eyes wide open and their jaws almost dropped. The Third Grandfather, Tang Guoshou, couldn't wait to ask for two drops of Body Refining Potion and hurriedly went back to take a bath.
At noon.
Tan Xiu came to the Kande Club according to the address given by Chu Yi. At the heavily guarded entrance of the Kande Club, eight security guards in black uniforms stopped Tan Xiu outside.
"I'm sorry, we can't let you in unless you can take out your membership card," said a middle-aged security guard with a serious face.
"My name is Tan Xiu. I just talked to Chu Yi on the phone. Didn't he tell you to let me in directly after I came?" Tan Xiu said.
Tan Xiu?
The middle-aged man was stunned. Suddenly, his complexion greatly changed. The solemn expression on his face disappeared in an instant and was replaced by a bit of caution. He asked, "Are you Tan Xiu of the Tang Family?"
"That's right!"
Tan Xiu nodded.
The middle-aged man immediately became very respectful, and there was even a bit of worship in his eyes. He said respectfully, "Young Master Tang, although Young Master Chu didn't order us, our boss personally ordered us to invite you in as soon as you arrived. Our Boss is now waiting for you in the Leisure Hall in Zone A. "
"Who's your Boss?" Tan Xiu was confused.
[I'm really sorry. Quiet Night has to go to Japan tomorrow to participate in a salon that will sweep Dongjing. So, Quiet Night can only maintain a minimum of two chapters a day for the next week. I'll try my best to break through after I come back from Japan.]
