Chapter 1131: The effect of the Pill of Youth.
“Belle and I decided that before we offer you a path of cultivation, you need to see that a new path does not necessarily start with losses. These pills will restore your youth, make you more attractive, and give you time. And then you’ll decide for yourself whether it’s worth moving on.”
Eleanor was very touched by this gesture and gift.
She saw how many of her acquaintances, including her husband, had changed, especially in appearance, after accepting the help of beings from other worlds.
They have bee younger and more energetic.
Of course, they didn’t return to their best years, but even what they found was wele.
Eleanor did not hide her envy, but she realized that she had to pay for her freedom for this opportunity. Which, of course, her pride did not allow her to succumb to temptation.
But now her newly found grandson was offering her something that many people her age dream of. She was sure that many people would give everything they had for such an opportunity.
“Thank you,” Eleanor said with sincere gratitude, accepting the gift from her grandson and daughter—in-law.
If it had been a gift from someone else, the cautious Eleanor would never have accepted it without a doubt.
Estelle, who was sitting next to him, couldn’t take her eyes off the delicious pills.
It had been a long time since she was as young and beautiful as before, and the birth of two twins had left its mark on her body, and she had not yet fully regained her slimness.
In her eyes, Idan noticed a hint of envy and desire.
Remembering how Arabel had behaved when she was twice denied the opportunity to purchase a beauty pill, and her anger, he could understand Estelle.
Eleanor was about to put the box away when she noticed that everyone was looking at her.
“Do you want me to take them right now?” she asked.
“Frankly, yes,” Idan nodded. “You are the first person to whom we have given the first batch of pills made by Belle personally. I would like to see their effect with my own eyes.”
“So these are pills created by daughter-in-law?”- not only Eleanor was surprised, but also Estelle and Ryan.
“Yes, Belle personally created them,” Idan smiled with pride for his wife. “Because of her position, she had to give up a lot, and eventually focused on studying and practicing alchemy.”
Hearing such a confession and remembering her beautiful daughter-in-law with red hair, Eleanor took a fresh look at pills.
Handing over her youngest grandson to Ryan, she took the first pill, the pill of youth, with slightly trembling hands, under the gaze of Idan, Estelle, Ryan and two small grandchildren.
No matter how hard she tried to act calm, she couldn’t hide her excitement and slight trembling.
The pill seemed to beckon her, and her body seemed to demand that she swallow the pill as soon as possible.
Idan and the others watched unblinkingly as Eleanor took the pill without a shadow of a doubt.
A second, two, three — but there were no visible changes.
Eleanor didn’t seem to notice anything unusual either. She looked from Idan to Estelle and Ryan, blinking her eyes as if trying to catch at least some reaction from them.
“Ah!” — Estelle suddenly exclaimed, covering her mouth with her hands.
At that moment, Eleanor felt something wonderful and warm spreading throughout her body. She closed her eyes, surrendering to these feelings.
Her hair began to take on its rich black color, starting at the roots. At the same time, the deepest wrinkles on her face began to smooth out.
In one minute, Eleanor seemed to have shed the weight of more than a dozen years that had weighed on her body.
A minute passed, two, three, and no one bothered her.
After the first noticeable change, the pill’s effect stopped.
In the end, Eleanor did not turn into a young girl in the prime of her life, as Idan had hoped.
“Hmm…” he frowned, and as if reading his thoughts and doubts about the pill, the System came to the rescue.
[It will take time for the pill to take full effect and rebuild her mortal body without consequences. According to preliminary calculations, one day.]
When the magical feeling was gone, Eleanor opened her eyes and met Idan’s frowning gaze. Her heart clenched with anxiety. She quickly ran her hand over her face and froze, not feeling the familiar wrinkles on it.
Trembling, she looked down at her black hair. Then she looked at Idan again, and when she saw his smile, she couldn’t hold back the tears.
“How cruel you are,” she exclaimed, but then she smiled, unable to hide her joy.
“There’s a mirror over there,” Idan pointed towards the hallway. Hearing this, Eleanor quickly got up and almost ran there.
When Eleanor went to the mirror, she saw a woman in her forties and couldn’t believe it was really her.
She couldn’t hold back her tears, but there was a smile on her face.
She might not have turned into a twenty-year-old girl, but that was enough for her.
Turning around, she saw the smiles of people close to her that they shared with her.
“Thank you, Idan and Arabel, thank you,” she repeated, overwhelmed with emotion.
“This is just the beginning, Grandma,” Idan said with a smile. “Tomorrow we will see the final result of the pill.”
Eleanor, already satisfied with her current condition, froze, not believing his words.
“Is that true?” asked Estelle.
“It takes about a day for the pill to take full effect on an ordinary person like Grandma,” Idan replied. “So I’m willing to bet that’s not all, and tomorrow we’ll see an even more rejuvenated grandmother.”
Saying the last, Idan laughed.
Ryan, who was watching in silence, noticed his mother’s reaction.
“Idan,” he called, looked at Idan, and, overing his pride for his mother’s sake, asked bluntly:
“Do you have any more of these pills?”
Idan stopped laughing and looked carefully at Ryan, who did not look away.
Estelle was a little scared and wanted to dissuade her son, but he waved his hand at her not to interfere.
Instead of saying anything, Idan took out another similar box that he had recently given to Eleanor.
Estelle immediately stared at the boxes excitedly, and Ryan narrowed his eyes. He understood how valuable these pills were, and he doubted that his new younger brother would just give them away. After all, they had only recently found out about each other’s existence, and their relationship was not that close.
“What do you want for them?” Ryan asked bluntly.
