Chapter 35: Finally Enlightened
Miraculous Hands Hall.
Gu Man let the pill slowly melt in her mouth. After swallowing it slightly, a cooling sensation flowed into her throat. A few minutes later, a warm current rose from her elixir field, flowing through her internal organs and straight to the top of her head. She could almost feel the blood in her entire body flowing slowly. What surprised her, even more, was that she realized that the energy field in her body was constantly filling up, and her spiritual power was returning.
Xiang Yin saw Gu Man’s face turn from pale to pink at a visible speed. He was surprised that this pill was so magical!
Xiang Yin glanced at Cui Lin and saw his reaction. The effect of this pill was obviously within his expectations. 2
When Cui Lin saw Xiang Yin looking over, he said proudly, “Otherwise, why do you think I called it the Miracle Rejuvenation Pill?”
“You need to take another pill half a month later. Don’t eat two at once. I won’t be responsible if your blood vessels explode later,” Cui Lin instructed.
“Thank you!” Gu Man nodded.
“How about treating me to dinner if you want to thank me?” Cui Lin joked. As soon as he finished speaking, he received a warning look from Xiang Yin.
Unexpectedly, Gu Man replied very seriously, “I was just about to treat everyone to a meal.” Then, she turned to look at Xiang Yin. “Are you free tonight?”
“I’m free!” Two voices sounded at the door at the same time.
It was Bai Yun and Bai Ling. 2
Xiang Yin glanced at the two of them and turned to Gu Man. “I don’t have anything on tonight.”
“Then I’ll treat you tonight. Let’s have a meal together, but I’m not familiar with Han City. I don’t know which restaurant has good food.”
“I like the peony prawns and crab roe shark fin from Restaurant Fragrance…” Bai Ling started to list the dishes. 1
Bai Yun interrupted her. “The food at the Restaurant Fragrance is indeed good. It’s one of the best in Han City, but it’s also one of the most expensive. It’s normal for a single dish to cost four figures.”
Cui Lin added, “Restaurant Fragrance is a century-old shop. Its food is delicious, but they have limited reservations every day. Now that we’re suddenly interested in eating there, there’s no more s.p.a.ce, right?”
Bai Yun continued, “I’m very familiar with their boss. If you want to go, I can call and book a room.” 1
Gu Man was still calculating in her heart. A dish cost more than four digits. Then tonight’s meal would cost tens of thousands of dollars at the very least.
However, the money she had just earned from breaking through ‘Nightfall’ had also arrived. She could still afford this bit of money. Although she wanted to save some money, she also wanted to thank these people sincerely. It was worth spending tens of thousands of dollars for this reason.
Hence, Gu Man nodded. “Then let’s go to Restaurant Fragrance.”
Bai Yun was a little surprised. He had thought that this girl would hesitate when she heard the price of the dishes. After all, this meal was really not cheap. According to what her status was in the Gu family, she would not be rich.
However, Bai Yun also knew that the person paying the bill tonight would not be Gu Man, but Xiang Yin. That was why he did not recommend other restaurants that were cheaper.
Bai Yun called and said, “I’ve booked it!” He was extremely quick.
“Let’s go.” Xiang Yin led the way out.
Bai Ling hugged Gu Man’s arm familiarly. “Miss, you look even better. Did you eat anything just now?” Bai Ling noticed that Gu Man’s expression had improved a lot. She couldn’t hide her curiosity, so she asked directly.
“I took a pill,” Gu Man replied simply.
“Then if I eat one will I become prettier too?”
“If you eat it, you’ll get fat.” Cui Lin’s words killed Bai Ling’s thoughts. 1
The two black cars downstairs were parked by the roadside.
“I want to sit in the same car as Little Missy. Let’s sit in the backseat together,” Bai Ling said quickly as she held Gu Man’s arm, as if she was afraid that someone would s.n.a.t.c.h her away if she was a step slower.
“Okay,” Gu Man agreed readily.
Before Bai Ling could be smug, she saw Xiang Yin open the backseat and say to Gu Man, “Get in.”
Bai Ling’s mouth widened. Her second uncle would open the car door for someone?
Wow, then wouldn’t she be able to enjoy this treatment too? 1
This magical and sudden happiness made her want to jump up and down. She could show off to her family in the future. Second Uncle had opened the car door for her.
However, just as she was about to get in, Xiang Yin pressed down on her shoulder. She looked up and saw her uncle’s dark face. He raised his chin at the pa.s.senger seat beside the driver’s seat.
He wanted her to sit in the pa.s.senger seat?
In a flash, Bai Ling finally thought of something.
Having to sit in the pa.s.senger seat, Bai Ling finally confirmed one thing. Her second uncle was having ideas about Miss. 5
