Su Lan’s face turned even stiffer when she saw that reaction.
’ That’s not the reaction you are supposed to give, Mom. I just asked a normal question.’ Su Lan sighed inwardly.
Perhaps she already knew the answers of her doubts. However, Su Lan wished to discover it by herself. She wished to make sure she wasn’t misunderstanding anything.
" Ahem, I an, Mom...Don’t you think we have been much happier lately?" Su Lan walked to the kitchen counter as she spoke.
" Hmm, if you are talking about our state a few months ago and now...I believe very much." Su Yunqi sighed with a smile as she resud her chopping.
" Now I feel, after Hao’er ca to our house, everything has been a smooth sail. I feel like we averted so many crises thanks to him."
" And what about you?" Su Lan picked an apple from the fridge and looked at Su Yunqi.
" About ?" Su Yunqi blinked. " What about ?"
" I realized you aren’t taking your pills anymore, right? More like you don’t have to." Su Lan replied.
Su Yunqi was startled as she nodded with happiness. " Now you say...Yes, you are correct. I don’t think I will need them anymore."
" After dad left, you really fell into depression. However, you didn’t show that to any of us. You busied yourself in company work, our growing, here and there..." Su Lan muttered as she took a bite.
" Instead of solving the problem, you decided to avoid it...you refused to acknowledge it, thinking it’s rely a phase that will pass."
" But that was necessary." Su Yunqi sighed as she looked at Su Lan.
" Lan’er, ti is like a wheel. There is no eternal happiness or sadness. Sotis, we face hard tis, and then we have to decide what is important for us."
" And during that ti, I feel it was both of my daughters, and the company of my late husband."
" Well, you did face the consequences of it." Su Lan spoke. " Even the dicine of the psychiatrist could only help so much."
" I have seen you, flipping on the bed with restlessness. Not to ntion, hallucinations and dizziness."
Su Yunqi smiled as she nodded. " But, you are seeing yourself, right? I am really well. And believe , after Jia Hao ca, I didn’t even touch the pills."
" It’s like..."
Su Lan cut in the middle. " It’s like he is the cure, right?"
" Uhm...Maybe?" Su Yunqi was slightly taken aback but nodded. Su Lan looked at Su Yunqi.
" The cure only worked because Jia Hao replaced sothing. Maybe it was the pills, or..."
" Or?"
" Maybe it’s...the void that dad left behind?"
Su Yunqi was stunned when she heard Su Lan. However, before she could say anything, Su Xing’er and Jia Hao ca from the garden.
" Uwaahhhh! I am so tired! But damn, I really loved today’s spar."
" Well, as long as you practice my thod, you will surely grow exponentially." Jia Hao smiled. But his nose twitched as he looked at the kitchen.
" Mother, are you already cooking the at I brought?"
" Ahh!!! Yes!"
Su Yunqi returned to her sense as she nodded hurriedly. " Just wait a bit, guys. Dinner is almost ready."
Su Lan sighed as she realized the opportunity has passed. However, she didn’t gave up as turned around and returned to the living room.
" Well, Hao’er, why did you suddenly bring snake at?" Su Lan asked in a curious voice.
" Hehe, this isn’t just any snake at. This is a special at straight from...so vastly unknown place." Jia Hao smirked. " Along with so simple dicinal herbs, all we need to do is smoke it."
" The at is packed with all sorts of magical nutrients. Boosting with the herb, as long as you eat, your body will be void of any ailnts."
" Hah? Are you telling the truth?" Su Xing’er didn’t believe. " Well, I am feeling a bit tired after all these. So you are telling, the at can even solve that?"
" Of course." Jia Hao nodded without hesitation.
After all, this was the cured at of the Three Petal Demonic Serpent Jia Hao brought from the Yunlan Continent. Along with so simple dicinal herbs, the effects are no less than alchemical elixirs for mortals.
Not long after, Su Yunqi set everything on the table. Everyone’s eyes brightened when they slled the aroma of the food.
" My goodness! Such a rich aroma!" Su Lan was perplexed.
" Yeah, Mom! What the hell, why even the vegetable stir fry is slling this good?" Su Xing’er exclaid.
" Hehe, I added so herbs and spices Hao’er brought. Even I didn’t expect the dishes to turn out this good."
Jia Hao rubbed his palms. " Oh, co on, Mother. Can we start digging already?"
" Hoho, Of course!" Su Yunqi laughed. " Go ahead and start eating."
" This..."
" SO TASTY!"
" MY GOODNESS!"
Even Jia Hao couldn’t help but put a few mouthfuls hurriedly. ’ Damn, Mother really knows how to cook. This is so tasty!’
’ Mm, there is also a strange sense of... fulfillnt in the food. Is this what they call the food of ho?’
" This is snake at?"
" Goddamn! This tastes so smooth! It’s lting in my mouth!"
" This is even better than wagyu beef!"
Even Su Yunqi couldn’t help but be surprised when she ate the cured at. In her life, she did try snake at once or twice, but they were pretty bland and chewy.
However, this ti, the flavor defied all of her expectations.
*AFTER 1 HOUR*
" Ugh...I can’t eat anymore..."
" Wow...I never thought I would wish for an extra belly."
Su Yunqi chuckled as she leaned back on the chair, her eyes on the emptied plates and bowl on the table.
" Haha...The way you all finished everything, I don’t think I even need to wash the dishes."
" Huh? Elder Sister, is the AC not working?" Su Xing’er mumbled. " Or is it just feeling a strange heat?"
" Uhhh...Strange indeed. I am also suddenly feeling hot. From lower belly to up..." Su Lan stood up and started to fan herself.
" Maybe we are bloated a bit?"
Jia Hao was confused, " Huh? I am not feeling anything-"
Suddenly, his sentence paused as a thought struck him. Using his Sage’s Divine Eyes, he looked at the current condition of all three of them.
’ Holy shit! How did I forget about this?!’ Jia Hao stood up and looked at them with alarm.
The at of the demonic beast contains rich energy, which can be refined into internal qi by martial artists. Even if one doesn’t practice martial arts, the health of Yunlan Continent’s natives is much different, making them easily digest such at.
However, as the proverb says, don’t bite more than one can chew. Soone from Azure Sea World, such at without any external help, could be too overpowering.
If too much energy accumulates in the body, instead of boosting the physique, it will harm it. And Su Yunqi, Su Xing’er, and Su Lan are suffering from the sa symptoms after eating the at of the Three Petal Demonic Serpent.
Jia Hao looked at them and shouted,
" All of you! Strip your clothes right now!"
