Tomb Raider: Call Me Dragon Vein Cleaner

Chapter 308 Taking the Elixir of Immortality

After nightfall, Yang Xueli, who had just taken a shower, sat on the edge of the bed and dried her hair with a towel.

Cheng Feng put down his notebook, walked over to Yang Xueli, and took the towel from her hand, saying:

"I have some good news to tell you in a little while."

Yang Xueli turned her head to look at Cheng Feng and asked curiously, "Why don't you say so now?"

Cheng Feng was a little surprised. Girls always have such unique perspectives on things. Shouldn't he ask what the good news is?

"We need to wait for Wenjin and Xiaoling to arrive. Everyone else is here so we don't have to repeat ourselves."

Cheng Feng's words gave Yang Xueli a premonition. Her expression was somewhat complicated, but she quietly let Cheng Feng dry her hair.

After a while, Cheng Feng looked up at the wall.

He brought Chen Wenjin and Huo Ling from next door into an illusion, using the illusion to bring them to Cheng Feng's room.

After the two women awoke from the illusion, they each walked out of their rooms in their pajamas and looked at each other with puzzlement in the hallway.

"Xiaoling, did Lao Cheng call you too?"

Huo Ling nodded, and said with a puzzled look:

"The head of the household is in such high spirits today; according to tradition, it should only be Shirley here today."

"I think things might not be as you think. Let's go, we're already out here."

After saying that, Chen Wenjin arrived outside Cheng Feng's room, opened the door, and walked into the room one after the other with Huo Ling.

As soon as they entered, the two women saw Cheng Feng and Yang Xueli sitting on the bed, dressed in thin clothes.

Chen Wenjin began to wonder if she was overthinking things again, and that Cheng Feng simply wanted to play poker.

"Don't stand, come and sit down, everyone?"

Cheng Feng waved to the two of them.

"I told you, we were called here to do something."

Huo Ling glanced at Chen Wenjin and smiled.

Cheng Feng looked at Huo Ling with a puzzled expression. Was he supposed to stand instead of sit down?

Actually, standing isn't necessarily a bad thing...

"Come here quickly, I have something to tell you."

"I'm coming."

Cheng Feng urged them again, and the two women came to the bed barefoot and sat down next to Cheng Feng and Yang Xueli respectively.

Three pairs of eyes were fixed on Cheng Feng, waiting for his next move.

Cheng Feng, who was being watched by the three women, didn't waste any words. He directly opened his Boundless Demon Eye and took out three exquisite small wooden boxes.

Then, without saying a word, Cheng Feng placed the three wooden boxes into the hands of the three women.

"This is?"

Huo Ling's heart raced a little. She was a smart and intelligent woman, and she was very good at pretending to be stupid. But now that things had really come to this, she couldn't keep up the act anymore.

"Just as you think, we obtained the last key ingredient from the Queen Mother of the West's palace."

Cheng Feng's words confirmed the three women's guess, which further agitated them.

Immortality is in their own hands; the value of this thing needs no further explanation.

Chen Wenjin took a deep breath and then carefully opened the small wooden box.

There was a simple, unadorned black pill in a wooden box.

The three women looked at the longevity pill in their hands, their emotions were all complicated.

After consuming this pill, they will undergo a dramatic transformation.

Immortality brings about a shift in mindset and a psychological challenge.

Their family doesn't need to worry about ethical issues, but if they have children, that's something to consider.

After all, there's a possibility that a great-great-great-granddaughter might fall in love with her great-grandfather.

Cheng Feng waited quietly to the side; he didn't want them to make a decision they would regret because of him.

Immortality is not entirely a good thing. People have different personalities and pursuits; perhaps at some point, someone might desperately crave death.

Granting him immortality at this point would be more excessive than torturing him.

As time passed, the three women's emotions gradually calmed down.

After regaining his composure, Chen Wenjin took out the Longevity Pill from the wooden box and put it into his mouth without hesitation.

Her actions broke the silence. Huo Ling and Yang Xueli each picked up a pill, just like Chang'e stealing a elixir, and firmly put it into their mouths.

Before the three women could even taste the longevity pills, they were dizzy and collapsed onto the bed.

Cheng Feng wasn't too worried. He simply placed them on their pillows and covered the three women with blankets.

Unlike when Cheng Feng first took the medicine, he was no longer an ordinary person at that time.

The three women are now just ordinary humans, so the longevity pill will have a stronger effect on them.

Cheng Feng didn't sleep a wink all night, just quietly stayed by the three women's side, waiting for them to wake up.

Finally, at noon on the third day, Chen Wenjin's fingertips made a slight movement.

Cheng Feng quickly looked at her, and soon Chen Wenjin slowly opened her eyes. After a moment of confusion, she focused her gaze on Cheng Feng's face.

"Wenjin, how are you feeling?"

Cheng Feng gently brushed a strand of Chen Wenjin's hair aside and asked softly.

Chen Wenjin raised her hand from under the covers, wanting to hug Cheng Feng.

Then Cheng Feng bent down and picked Chen Wenjin up from the bed.

"It's an indescribable feeling; many of my memories have become blurry, but upon careful recall, they are incredibly clear."

My body felt lighter, as if a shackle had been removed.

Holding Cheng Feng tightly, Chen Wenjin whispered.

It seems that the elixir of immortality not only changes the body, but also modifies the consciousness to be suitable for longevity.

The brain of an average person has its limits. Even if one's appearance remains unchanged, a sense of weariness and despondency will inevitably arise as one ages.

If one tries to withstand the impact of immortality with the mindset of an ordinary person, it will inevitably end in tragedy.

"Xiaoling and Shirley should be waking up soon. Let's take a shower, eat something, and then see if there are any changes."

Chen Wenjin, nestled in Cheng Feng's arms, nodded gently and then waited quietly with Cheng Feng.

Sure enough, just ten minutes later, Yang Xueli was the second to wake up.

Then the girl in Cheng Feng's arms became two.

Like Chen Wenjin, Yang Xueli's first perception of change was that her memories became blurred, but she could recall certain things very clearly.

Huo Ling regained consciousness three minutes after Yang Xueli.

When she woke up, Cheng Feng no longer had any girls in his arms; the three women were all huddled together in front of him, discussing their respective changes.

After one of them finished speaking, the other two nodded in deep agreement.

"Alright, you've all been lying in bed for three days. Go take a shower and get something to eat."

The three women were very interested in the changes that had occurred to their bodies, but Cheng Feng eventually interrupted their women's seminar.

The four of them took a shower for more than two hours, and then Cheng Feng had to take charge of moving the food from downstairs to upstairs.

As they ate, they noticed a new change: everyone's appetite had increased.

The food that the three women couldn't finish was now completely eaten, and they were still far from full, only having enough to fill their stomachs.

"It's really not my usual habit to be able to eat so much all of a sudden."

Half an hour later, the family sat in the restaurant, and the three women were in good shape, showing no signs of their previous frailty.

After finishing another table of food, they finally put down their chopsticks with satisfaction, indicating that they were only 80% full.

Use snacks to fill in the gaps in the stitching.

"Let's go for a walk in the yard and feel the changes in our bodies."
