Chapter 1560 - Bai Xiachen’s present (4)”
Chapter 1560“Bai Xiachen’s present (4)”
“Dad, if I was an animal then what would you be?” Ling Lang meekly mutters this, too afraid to openly speak his mind.
Ling Yun: “….”
It’s at this moment where Bai Ran finally took a better look at Bai Xiachen’s present. Reaching over with her hand: “Son, let me have a look at that bottle.”
“Oh, here Ma.” Handing it over, the flirt scratches his nose like a good son that he was.
Initially the lady only had her suspicion due to the familiar scent she smelled from the container’s surface, but that suspicion immediately turned to certainty after popping the cork. That scent was intoxicating and brought old memories back to the forefront. “Dan pill, these are alchemic pills!”
“What did you say Ran Ran?” The husband nearly lost his own breath at the outburst.
“I’m certain, these are definitely alchemic pills.” Bai Ran’s voice sounded very excited, “Back when I was living with my parents in the Bai Clan, my father had a couple in his treasury so I was able to come into contact with a few in my younger years. This smell, its unmistakable…”
On Earth, only big powerful clans like the Water Clan would have their own personal alchemists in their service. As for the smaller family clans like the Bai Clan and such, they could only resort to purchasing a few from various auctions in rare occasions.
“Mom, you must be mistaken, these are only snacks Xiachen gave me.” Ling Lang didn’t buy the idea and started to doubt his own mother. However, that suspicion quickly changed to belief after he recalled back to the steambun’s warning about eating only one at a time. There’s also the comment from that big bodyguard about the bottle being something really good.
It can’t be…. Are these seriously alchemic pills?
By now Ling Lang body had started to tremble because he’s only now starting to understand the gravity of the situation: “Mom, I really didn’t know these are Dan pills, I thought they’re only Xiachen’s snack. If I had known then I wouldn’t have accepted something so valuable. Should I return it back to him?”
Now I see why Cousin was making that smiling face, Bai Yan knew what her son was giving me!
“Did Yan Yan say anything?” Bai Ran was just like her son and was visibly shaking due to the value in her hands.
Alchemic pills, these things are no different from being legendary items for them who weren’t part of the martial world. Not to mention they have a whole bottle’s worth here!
“My cousin didn’t say anything, and she didn’t tell me the truth.” Ling Lang was ready to cry at this stage.
“They likely won’t accept it anyways even if you send it back now.” Contemplating the issue, Bai Ran eventually came to a decision, “Since its Xiachen who gifted this to you then keep it. Just don’t forget their kindness and know this will change your life forever.”
Ling Lang’s nervously received the bottle back from his mom and held it like some miracle drug: “Mom, you’re a martial artist so you should take these pills, don’t you want to get stronger?”
Bai Ran appeared pleased by her son’s offer but shook her head anyways: “My talent is already set in stones at this point in my life, anymore will be wasted on me. Besides, the stronger I get then the longer I will live, that means I will have to grow old by myself after your father passes. Spending a lifetime with your father is what I want, not some lonely extension on my lifespan.”
What’s more, she’s not going to steal this opportunity from her own children, that’s foolish beyond belief if she did. The younger they are, the more benefits these pills would have on them.
“I remember little Xiachen said to take the green one first… Mom, should I try it now then?”
It’s not like the flirt doesn’t want to be a martial artists like his own mom during his childhood, just that Ling Lang knew his own talent and there’s limited resources at their family’s disposal. However, the opportunity has now been laid before him so how could he refuse? It’s also a mean for him to get the power for revenge on those who wish his little sister harm. The guy didn’t forget that traumatizing moment where Smile almost got ran over by that sportscar!
