Chapter 249: Chapter 249: Divine Fairy Son-in-law

"You finally want to poison me to death? I thought you would wait a little longer."

Jiang Yingxue said, reaching out to take the green pill from Ruan Hongzhuang’s hand and putting it into her mouth.

"Aren’t you afraid that I might actually poison you?"

"If you really wanted to poison me to death, what could I do? Mom only has one daughter, Mom loves you, but it’s a pity, your dad would be pitiful if I died."

While speaking, Jiang Yingxue sighed heavily, her acting skills quite apparent.

"Don’t worry, he won’t be pitiful, and you won’t be alone, because I will soon poison him to death too, to accompany you." Ruan Hongzhuang said indifferently.

"Wow, you’re really cruel. Does your boyfriend know about this?"

"He knows, this pill is from him."

"Really?"

Jiang Yingxue was shocked, her expression turned somewhat panicky, she immediately started gagging herself.

She could trust her daughter unconditionally, but she couldn’t possibly trust a stranger that she had just met.

"You wretched girl, you wouldn’t really want to poison me, right?"

Just as her fingers touched her mouth, she felt something was wrong; the green pill she had just put into her mouth turned into a cool and warm sensation upon touching her tongue, mixed with the fragrance of herbs, flowing down the throat and directly into her stomach.

Then suddenly, a refreshing coolness swept through her whole body.

She instinctively straightened up, her back erect and her eyes bright. Her vitality surged in an instant, her mind became extremely clear, and the world seemed to become transparent, as the fatigue from the long journey vanished in a moment.

Only then did she remember to pull her hand out of her mouth, but she wasn’t pleased, instead she asked seriously, "What did you make me eat??"

"Look at your hands."

"My hands?"

Jiang Yingxue looked at her hands in response, then was shocked again.

Although she took great care of herself usually, age was showing; no matter how well she took care of herself, her skin had started to slacken and lacked the luster of younger skin.

But what did she see now? She saw a pair of youthful hands, skin tight and elastic.

"Is this my hand?" Jiang Yingxue said incredulously.

"Could they be mine?" Ruan Hongzhuang replied irritably.

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yingxue instantly reacted, and immediately started touching her cheeks.

The skin on her cheeks also seemed to have become more elastic and smoother.

Then she looked down at her arms, realized it wasn’t just her imagination, and quickly stepped into her room, in front of the full-length mirror.

From afar, she could see a middle-aged woman hurriedly walking towards the mirror.

This familiar look made Jiang Yingxue somewhat dazed. The person in the mirror, she naturally recognized, was herself from over twenty years ago, when she had just turned thirty, confident, flamboyant, and charming.

She touched her cheeks gently, pinched hard, and confirmed over and over that she was not hallucinating, not dreaming, and then she remembered her daughter.

Then through the mirror, she saw her daughter leaning on the door frame, arms folded, a smile that wasn’t quite a smile on her face.

She too was shocked by the effect of the "Leg Stretching Eye Bulging Pill" that her mother had taken, and from now on when going out, she would hardly dare to call her mom, rather they’d almost seem like sisters.

"What did you make me eat?" Jiang Yingxue turned around, her expression filled with astonishment.

"Yang energy," said Ruan Hongzhuang.

"Stop joking, I’m seriously asking you," Jiang Yingxue frowned, speaking sternly.

"Divine Medicine Immortal Pill, you can think whatever, but in any case, it’s a medicine that can restore your youth," Ruan Hongzhuang replied seriously, no longer joking.

"Are there no side effects?"

Ruan Hongzhuang shook her head, then explained, "That pill, it’s essentially a dose of life force, replenishing the life force you’ve lost due to aging, making you younger and more vigorous. It can’t make you immortal or live forever, but prolonging life might be possible, I haven’t really cared about that, I’ll ask tomorrow..."

"How long will it last?"

"I’m not sure, how can you not be clear on such an important matter?" Jiang Yingxue said irritably.

"Why ask so clearly? Si Yuan wouldn’t harm me," Ruan Hongzhuang said.

"Wait, you mean to say, this medicine was given to you by Shen Siyuan?" Jiang Yingxue’s eyes widened as she finally caught on.

"Otherwise? Do you think I made it myself?"

"Yes... yes..." Jiang Yingxue seemed to somewhat understand.

"He... he... Just who is Xiao Shen exactly?" Jiang Yingxue asked with a mixture of anticipation and nervousness.

This medicine doesn’t look like a technological product, but more like something out of mythology.

"He himself claims to be a cultivator, not exactly an immortal, but in my eyes, he’s no different from one. He can communicate with spirits, ride a sword, and even split open the skies with a single slash... Did you see the news about the miraculous scene in Qionghai a few days ago?"

"That was Si Yuan’s doing. He said it was due to his mastery of swordsmanship, inspired by Sword Intent, communicating the Primordial Magnetic Five Elements and so forth. Anyway, I didn’t really understand it..."

Speaking of her boyfriend’s various feats, Ruan Hongzhuang’s cheeks flushed slightly, her entire demeanor radiant and exceedingly proud.

"There’s also that incident in Xiajing. You’ve seen my social media, you should know. I was in Xiajing that day, you even sent me a message asking if I was alright, don’t you remember?"

...

Jiang Yingxue’s mouth hung slightly open, utterly astounded.

My daughter has a divine fairy boyfriend, no, I have a Divine Fairy Son-in-law.

She swallowed and then reached out her hand to Ruan Hongzhuang.

"What are you doing?"

"Give me another one to try."

"Wishful thinking. Do you think these are chocolate beans, available in any amount you desire? Tell me, why would anyone give Shen Siyuan an apartment with an ocean view worth tens of millions for no reason?" Ruan Hongzhuang said, half-joking.

At this, any last doubts in Jiang Yingxue’s mind dissipated. Wealthy people aren’t fools, especially not those who casually gift tens of millions - they’re all clever; it’s not easy to fool them.

So, everything her daughter just mentioned must be true.

"Besides, you can’t consume too much at once. Shen Siyuan said that a person is like a bucket, and the Elixir Pill is like water. Pouring water into a bucket - if it’s too full, it will overflow and completely waste the contents. Only when the water in the bucket has dried up should you pour more in for the best effect..."

Hearing this, Jiang Yingxue again extended her hand.

"What are you doing?"

"Give me one more for when my ’water has dried up’, then I’ll take it."

"There are none left, none... These things are extremely precious. If it weren’t for me being his girlfriend, do you think you’d ever get to try one?" Ruan Hongzhuang was nearly laughing out of exasperation.

Jiang Yingxue, hearing that, withdrew her hand and immediately stuck her fingers in her mouth.

"What are you doing?"

"Didn’t I just scoop a bit up with my hands? There must still be some residue; can’t waste it," Jiang Yingxue said, sucking her fingers.

Ruan Hongzhuang was too embarrassed to look and turned to leave.

"Wait, wait," Jiang Yingxue hastily pulled her fingers out.

"What else is it?"

"I know the Divine Medicine is precious, but given my current appearance, I don’t quite match up with your father. Could you ask Xiao Shen for another one? I know it’s a lot to ask, but we could compensate him..." Jiang Yingxue asked, full of hope.

"Hmph, he actually planned to give one to both you and dad, but since you had an attitude today, you got only one," Ruan Hongzhuang grumbled.

But knowing her daughter, Jiang Yingxue knew this was likely not true; she definitely still had one left.

"So, Xiao Shen is that stingy, huh?"

"That’s right, he is," Ruan Hongzhuang replied.

"Alright then, I’ll apologize to him when we meet tomorrow..."

As they talked, Jiang Yingxue seemed to realize something, her expression, one of sudden understanding.

"No wonder... no wonder..."

She finally understood the aura she felt around Shen Siyuan.
