chapter 2033:
who would believe this?
however, ling han turned to the children, and asked, “do any of you know who lives here? the first one to answer will get two pieces of candy.” he immediately retrieved two pieces of candy.
“i know! i know!”
“i also know!”
the children fought to answer his question. in fact, even hu niu felt extremely tempted. after all, this candy had initially been prepared to tempt her.
“a big brother and a big sister live here!”
“the big sister is very beautiful!”
“however, she’s not as beautiful as these big sisters.”
“they’ve only lived here for two years.”
“the big brother got sick, and he’s always coughing. in fact, i’ve even seen him cough blood!”
ling han smiled and took out some more candy to hand to the children. he then said, “alright, go and play now.”
the children immediately ran off.
ling han pushed open the bamboo gate in front of the house, revealing a dainty path that was decorated with beautiful flowers on either side. this was in stark contrast to the simplicity of the rest of the village.
meanwhile, the door to the house was only slightly shut, and ling han immediately heard coughing before he had even pushed it open.
with a slight push, he opened the door, revealing extremely ordinary furniture. there was only a single table, wardrobe, and bed. lying on the bed was a man who was violently coughing. in fact, he was spitting blood as he coughed, and it was as if he were about to cough his internal organs out.
“cough… who are you?” the man asked when he saw ling han. he raised his head with much difficulty, and ling han saw that he was a fairly handsome man. however, his face was far too pale, and there wasn’t a single hint of color.
fu yue suddenly wrinkled his nose, and exclaimed, “hmm? there’s the scent of the undying pill!” he immediately jumped forward, and said, “you ingested the undying pill!”
the man was shocked, and he hurriedly shook his head, saying, “i didn’t eat any undying pill! you people have got it wrong! i don’t know what you’re talking about!”
fu yue’s feeling of doubt vanished into thin air. hu niu had indeed found the right place. moreover, the undying pill had already been ingested by this man. he was filled with scorching rage. his grandfather had refined the undying pill at the command of the moon plucking celestial king. yet, it had been ingested by this person now? how would they explain this to the moon plucking celestial king?
“don’t worry, we don’t have any evil intentions,” ling han said with a smile. he placed a hand on the man before activating his source power of wood.
a power that was brimming with vitality instantly surged into the man’s body, causing his fit of coughing to immediately cease. in fact, a hint of healthy red returned to his pale face.
“you’ve been wounded by someone,” ling han said. “that person most likely had the ability to kill you, yet they only left you with severe wounds. such sinister intentions… they wanted to torture you to death!”
the man’s expression changed again and again. in the end, he could only heave a long sigh and say, “you’re right. that’s indeed the case.”
“tell us about it,” ling han said in interest.
he had initially thought that the woman had stolen the undying pills to sell or exchange for other benefits. by the looks of it, however, that definitely wasn’t the case.
“there were 10 undying pills in total. you definitely haven’t ingested all of them, so where are the rest of them?” fu yue cut in.
“oi, do you know how to speak? can’t you see that he’s sick?” ling han said as he picked fu yue up and tossed him aside. he turned back to the man, and said, “alright, you can tell us now. take it slow.”
fu yue couldn’t help but feel vexed. he was the grandson of a four-star alchemist! was it really necessary for ling han to treat him like this?
