CHAPTER 728: CHAPTER 725: SHOCKED

Actually, when Taozi mentioned some Elixir, the couple was already somewhat alarmed.

These days, all sorts of bizarre things keep happening, their daughter is naturally naive, it’s entirely possible she’s been brainwashed.

But holding onto trust in their daughter, and also out of love for her, Qi Huilan took the risk to give it a try.

And to be cautious, only one of them chose to take it, Qi Huilan volunteered, and Jiang Hongtu surprisingly didn’t stop her.

Because both of them knew in their hearts that if something went wrong with her, Taozi’s so-called boyfriend would be in big trouble, because the Jiang Family had this power.

However, while Qi Huilan was taking the so-called Elixir, Jiang Hongtu couldn’t help but worry.

So the first thing he did when Qi Huilan took it was to ask if she felt any discomfort.

But as soon as he spoke halfway, he was stunned by the scene in front of him.

Taozi was already twenty-seven, how could Qi Huilan be young? She was already over fifty this year, although she maintained herself well daily, yet she could not avoid the traces left by time.

The crow’s feet at the corners of her eyes, her skin’s pigment dull and lifeless, even her cheeks slightly drooping due to age, lacking the fullness of youth, thus completely disrupting her originally perfect appearance.

Taozi actually resembles her mother a lot, her cheeks give one a chubby feel, with a bit of baby fat, which in the past was considered a prosperous appearance, very good-looking.

But when older, with loose muscles, it became not so appealing. Besides, Qi Huilan had quite a few white hairs.

It wasn’t due to her age but rather a family inheritance, her white hair appeared much more than others; initially, Qi Huilan chose to dye her hair, but later realized that having silver hair made her more elegant and charming, so she let it be.

But these regrets brought on by age rapidly vanished under Jiang Hongtu’s gaze.

Her crow’s feet disappeared quickly, her skin became radiant, her cheeks regained fullness, and her hair turned jet black and shiny, even the white hair didn’t turn dark but gained a sheen.

This visible miracle stunned Jiang Hongtu, leaving him speechless.

In just that instant, Qi Huilan became more than ten years younger.

She had already maintained herself quite well, now she looked even younger.

In astonishment, Jiang Hongtu reflexively swallowed.

"What’s with that expression, am I... what’s happened to me?"

Seeing Jiang Hongtu’s odd expression, Qi Huilan felt somewhat uneasy, instinctively touching her cheeks, then suddenly froze.

Aging inevitably leads to sagging, wrinkled, and blotched skin, unaffected by any amount of cosmetics, unless one has a natural resistance to aging, otherwise there are no exceptions.

However now, her hand’s skin was delicate, the brown spots vanished, these hands were so familiar, memories once believed forgotten reemerged, realizing she never truly forgot them.

"What’s happening to me..." Qi Huilan murmured in surprise, touching her cheeks, feeling especially delicate.

At this moment, Taozi handed over a makeup mirror.

Qi Huilan took it, scrutinizing herself, astonished at her sudden youthfulness, but more filled with delight.

She finally realized these changes must be the result of that Elixir.

"What kind of Elixir is this, having such miraculous effects?"

"It’s completely a Divine Pill, an Immortal Pill, its effect is overwhelmingly strong, what are its ingredients, are there any side effects?" Jiang Hongtu was a cautious person.

"Of course, there can’t be any side effects, haven’t you seen I’m perfectly fine? And do you think the Security Bureau people are fools? If there were side effects, would they pay such attention to Si Yuan?"

The couple exchanged a glance, they initially simply thought their daughter was just radiating from the warmth of love, her complexion improving greatly.

"But even your change wasn’t this significant."

"That’s because I’m still young; if I were to change as much as you did, wouldn’t that be too much? The Elixir merely replenishes the body’s lost vitality, restoring vigor, not making someone undergo Rejuvenation." Taozi explained.

"Is that so... is that so..."

Jiang Hongtu finally understood why the country valued Shen Siyuan so much.

"These Elixirs were refined by Xiao Shen?"

"Of course, I’m telling you, these Elixirs are incredibly precious, even if you had money, you couldn’t buy them unless you were my parents."

Taozi held the remaining pill in her hand.

Pretending to put it back in the bottle, "If you don’t want it, I’ll put it away, if it’s left out, its potency will dissipate."

"I want it, I never said I don’t."

Jiang Hongtu was anxious, quickly reaching out to grab the pill.

Though he didn’t immediately consume it, but closely examined it.

"It really looks beautiful." He murmured.

This green pill seemed able to draw in his entire focus.

"Hurry up and try it, Taozi said if it’s left out too long its effect will fade." Qi Huilan reminded, prompting Jiang Hongtu to come back to his senses.

He was about to consume it when his attention caught Qi Huilan’s gaze, so he handed her the pill, "Here, you take it, become even younger."

Qi Huilan, hearing this, remained calmly indifferent, not showing much gratitude, while beside her, Taozi was deeply moved, thinking her parents had a wonderful relationship.

"No need, you take it yourself." Qi Huilan said.

At this moment, Taozi supported, "You better take it yourself, even if mom takes it, it won’t have much further effect."

"In that case, I won’t hold back." Jiang Hongtu carefully placed the pill into his mouth.

Originally wanting to taste it, unexpectedly, it melted immediately, smoothly passing down his tongue through his esophagus, then felt a cool and warm sensation spreading throughout his body, making him feel suddenly alert, with a sense of clarity.

Moreover, he felt as if shedding long-carried burdens, suddenly becoming incredibly relaxed, as if possessing endless energy.

"It truly is a Divine Pill..."

The feeling was even more overwhelming than witnessing his wife’s transformation.

Having been slightly dizzy from drinking, now sobriety washed over him, he stood up directly, swung his arms a few times, fortunately he was naturally composed, suppressing his impulse to jump a few circles on the spot.

"Have I changed a lot?" he asked Qi Huilan.

Qi Huilan didn’t answer, handing him the makeup mirror, turning to hurry back to their room, as there was a full-body mirror there.

Taozi leaned back on the sofa, complacent and at ease, quietly waiting for the couple to calm down.

Time didn’t make her wait too long, the couple quickly calmed down, returning to reason.
