Chapter 788: 0788 doesn’t recognize the goods! (Third release)

Everyone’s gaze converged upon him.

The youth in front of them was so ordinary, what good could he possibly bring out? Xu Shaohua watched Ye Qiu with a gaze filled with anticipation for the joke that would ensue; he was genuinely curious to see.

"Ye Qiu, when did you bring a gift? I had no idea," Lin Qiao’er whispered, tugging at Ye Qiu’s sleeve.

"It’s a surprise I secretly prepared, meant to give Uncle and Auntie a surprise," Ye Qiu said with a smile.

A surprise?

Xu Shaohua sneered, thinking that anything short of a scare would be a surprise indeed.

Afterward, Ye Qiu touched his belt, and the Mustard Seed Bag soundlessly opened, revealing a pill bottle in his hand.

He slowly presented it to Lin’s mother, saying, "This is my gift, please accept it, Auntie."

Lin’s mother looked at the small bottle before her, not knowing what Ye Qiu was up to, when Xu Shaohua spoke up with a laugh, "Brother, are you sure you’re not mistaken? That’s just a measly small bottle you’re offering, aren’t you insulting the Lin family?"

Ye Qiu ignored Xu Shaohua, continuing, "Of course, it’s not an ordinary bottle. What’s inside is the gift I’m giving to Uncle and Auntie Lin."

Xu Shaohua huffed, "What could you possibly have in that bottle? Gold? Or some rare treasure? I think you’re just making a fool of yourself."

"What’s inside this bottle is worth hundreds of times more than your worthless rings, and it’s priceless," Ye Qiu declared.

At these words, Xu Shaohua laughed, and even Lin Qiao’er kept pulling on Ye Qiu, "What on earth do you have there?"

Ye Qiu smiled mysteriously.

At this point Xu Shaohua spoke again, "Then please, brother, enlighten us, what is this gift you speak of? My jadeite ring here is crafted from top-grade Myanmar jade, worth over a million. You’re claiming your gift is hundreds of times more valuable than my ring - are you suggesting it’s worth tens of millions?"

As he said this, even he couldn’t help but laugh. The thought that Ye Qiu could produce something worth tens of millions, let alone one million, seemed utterly preposterous to him.

Ignoring Xu Shaohua’s sarcasm, Ye Qiu addressed Lin’s mother, "Auntie, if there were a medicine that could preserve your current beauty, preventing you from aging for decades, would you be willing to pay tens of millions for it?"

Lin’s mother’s eyes lit up. If there really were such a miraculous medicine in the world, of course she would want it.

Beauty is a woman’s nature, yet aging is a plight no woman can escape. Despite spending a considerable amount on skincare each year, time had inevitably left its marks on Lin’s mother’s face.

If there really were such a mythical medicine as Ye Qiu described, which could preserve one’s appearance for decades, not only her, but women all over the world would certainly desire to purchase it, sparing no expense.

Xu Shaohua burst out laughing, "Auntie, do you really think that’s possible? How could such a medicine exist in this world? I think he’s plainly making it all up."

Lin’s mother’s eyes quickly returned to a state of calm; Xu Shaohua was right. This was the real world, not a mythological novel; there could be no such wonder drugs, for if there were, they would have already caused a global sensation.

At the moment, she didn’t even have the interest to open the bottle in her hands.

"As an ordinary mortal, you naturally wouldn’t understand, but that doesn’t mean such things don’t exist in this world. My gift is two Beauty Pills that can preserve one’s youthful appearance; wouldn’t you say that’s worth hundreds of times more than your paltry rings?" Ye Qiu said indifferently.

"That’s absolutely ridiculous. If I were to believe you, that would be quite the marvel," Xu Shaohua naturally didn’t believe Ye Qiu’s tall tales.

As the two continued to argue, Lin’s father stepped in to smooth things over with a smile, "We’ve accepted both of your gifts, let’s move on from this matter and change the subject."

After that, Xu Shaohua couldn’t be bothered with Ye Qiu anymore; he believed Ye Qiu was a madman, spouting nonsense, and it was beneath him to argue with such a person.

Seeing Xu Shaohua no longer provoking him, Ye Qiu didn’t bother with him either. Summer insects can’t talk about ice; in his eyes, Xu Shaohua was nothing more than a pampered young master. Such people, he simply didn’t care about.

After the meal, Xu Shaohua and his father left the Lin household. Before stepping out the door, Xu Shaohua swept his gaze over Ye Qiu, committing him to memory.

Ye Qiu was unconcerned. This guy had sneered at him several times already, and he had endured it, but that didn’t mean Ye Qiu was easy to provoke. There could be a first and second time, but not a third and fourth. If Xu Shaohua disrespected him again, he wouldn’t mind teaching the young master a lesson.

He didn’t care about the so-called Xu family or any other clan. In Huaxia, there were few people he took seriously. So what about the Xu family? If he wished, he could obliterate them with a snap of his fingers.

A legendary figure in the late stage of the mythical realm, who had killed more than one mythical realm, would he fear a mere family?

After dinner, Ye Qiu was arranged a room, while Lin Qiao’er was called by her parents to be questioned.

When Lin Qiao’er came back, she was holding the little pill bottle Ye Qiu had given away.

"For you."

Lin Qiao’er tossed the pill bottle over.

"Luckily I got this little bottle back. Otherwise, your image in my parents’ hearts would’ve been completely ruined," Lin Qiao’er said.

"That was a gift for your parents. Why did you take it back?" Ye Qiu said.

Lin Qiao’er raised an eyebrow and said, "Do you think I’m a fool? You can’t compare a broken bottle with others; who would believe your nonsense?"

Ye Qiu sighed, "I’m telling the truth. The pills in here really can preserve someone’s youthful appearance."

Seeing Ye Qiu start to make up stories again, Lin Qiao’er quickly made a hand gesture, "Stop!"

"You think you’re an immortal? Just taking out a bottle and stuffing it with a few clay balls and calling it a miracle medicine."

"You are doubting a great alchemist."

"What alchemist, not alchemist. Have you been watching too many TV dramas or reading too many novels?" Lin Qiao’er rolled her eyes. She had just taken a few steps away but then turned back, "But I must say, those little black balls you made actually smell quite nice."

Little black balls?

Ye Qiu was at a loss for words. Weren’t these Beauty Pills?

In the entire mundane world, only he, Ye Qiu, possessed them, and now they were being scorned by this policewoman. They were a miraculous elixir, for heaven’s sake.

"Forget it, if you don’t believe it, let it be." Ye Qiu snatched it back, casually took out a pill, popped it into his mouth, and crunched it up. It wasn’t bad as candy, either.

Seeing this, Lin Qiao’er quickly snatched a pill, looked at it, sniffed it, and, after seeing Ye Qiu come to no harm from eating it, she tried it herself.

She licked the outer coat of the Beauty Pill, finding it sweet, and then popped the whole thing into her mouth, chewing it.

"What kind of candy is this? The taste isn’t bad, just a bit astringent. It would be better if it was mixed with chocolate, the flavor would improve," Lin Qiao’er commented as she chewed on the Beauty Pill.

Black lines rose on Ye Qiu’s forehead. Beauty Pills with chocolate in them, what would that even be...?

If Shen Mengchen saw Lin Qiao’er evaluating the Beauty Pill that could make her more beautiful—in a way that a mask could never match—by a thousandfold, she would probably come over immediately, snatch away the Beauty Pill, and swallow it without hesitation.
