Chapter 128: Quantitative Change Leads To Qualitative Change
“Do you think I’m a fool?” Shang Wan helplessly curved up the corners of her lips. Of course she wouldn’t casually tell outsiders.
Lu Chengjing was also concerned and thus confused, thinking in the wrong direction for a moment.
He asked warmly, “Won’t such a special ability damage the body?”
Shang Wan: “No.”
“That’s good.” Lu Chengjing let out a relieved breath.
Shang Wan was slightly surprised in her heart. She reached out to pinch his chin and shook it left and right. “Don’t you want to ask something else?”
Lu Chengjing blinked, confusion in his eyes. “Ask what?”
Hadn’t Niangzi already told him everything?
“You’re really… cute.” Shang Wan’s gaze deepened as she leaned in to plant a light kiss on his cheek.
Normal people hearing such a bizarre matter would focus on the space, but Lu Chengjing was immediately concerned about her body.
She had to admit, this about her fox truly made her feel a bit warm-hearted.
Of course, if Lu Chengjing’s reaction wasn’t right… a dark glint flashed in Shang Wan’s eyes. Only the mouths of the dead are the most tight-lipped.
Cute and such… Lu Chengjing instantly flushed from his ear root to his neck, even his eyes misting over. Under the warm yellow candlelight, he looked exceptionally enticing.
Shang Wan: “…”
His legs were better, so it should be possible now, right?
As soon as she thought that, she raised her hand and slapped herself. What was she thinking? Not appropriate right now!
“Niangzi?” Lu Chengjing pulled Shang Wan’s hand and looked at her with concern. Why was she hitting herself for no reason?
“Ahem,” Shang Wan cleared her throat. “Let’s talk business.”
Lu Chengjing: ?
Weren’t they always talking business?
Shang Wan asked, “How does your right hand feel?”
She didn’t ask, and Lu Chengjing hadn’t noticed. Now he tried to lift his right hand, and a sharp pain instantly shot to his mind.
His right pinky finger moved lightly, then moved again.
Just two simple movements, yet Lu Chengjing’s forehead was already beaded with cold sweat from the pain.
But his eyes lit up like gems. He actually had sensation.
He tried to move more fingers—one, two, three… three was already the limit.
“Take it slow.” Shang Wan held his right hand and massaged his wrist for him. “Recovery has a gradual process. You can’t make a fat man by eating one bite.”
“But…” Shang Wan eyed Lu Chengjing’s skinny little frame and sighed. “It’d be good if you could really gain some weight.”
Lu Chengjing instantly recalled his Niangzi’s disdain for his bony frame, and even the joy of his right hand moving was diluted quite a bit.
Was he really that bony to hold?
After thinking, he solemnly promised with a serious expression, “I’ll eat more from now on, as soon as possible… gain weight, not bony.”
As soon as he spoke, his ear roots, which hadn’t cooled from the fever, began to heat up again.
Shang Wan stared at his handsome profile, her lips curving up slightly.
Her fox was really very obedient.
The massaging turned into light stroking, a faint itch traveling up from the wrist, and the distance between the two gradually shrank.
His long lashes drooped slightly, fluttering in panic, his breaths filled with a faint fragrance.
“Bang—”
The atmosphere was just getting subtly charged when the wooden board of the partition suddenly got knocked open with a hole.
Shi Tou’s face appeared at the hole, his right hand still raised.
Lu Chengjing: “…”
Shang Wan: ?
The two sides stared at each other through the hole.
Shi Tou swore his brother-in-law’s gaze looked like it wanted to chop him up!
He hurriedly waved his hands in explanation. “I I I didn’t mean to. I knocked lightly and it broke.”
He swore he really just wanted to knock on the door!
He didn’t know this door was so fragile!
A quarter of an hour later.
The family of four sat in the partition, the warm yellow light of the oil lamp illuminating this small space.
Shi Tou held a stalk of bok choy, doubting he was dreaming.
He pinched himself hard, sucking in a cold breath from the pain.
It hurt, not a dream!
He looked at Shang Wan like she was some rare treasure. “Sis, so you’re an immortal?”
Shang Wan: “…”
What was this kid thinking all day?
She said helplessly, “I’m human.”
“How can a human conjure things out of thin air?” Shi Tou didn’t believe it. “Sis, don’t worry, I definitely won’t tell anyone. You are an immortal, right?”
Xiao Huan glanced at him. “Use your brain. If Sis were an immortal, would our family lack money?”
An immortal could wave a hand and bring mountains of gold and silver.
Shi Tou: “…”
So much reason!
He was instantly convinced.
Compared to Shi Tou’s excitement, Xiao Huan was much calmer.
From the first time her sis took out a bunch of bok choy, she had vaguely guessed something, but didn’t dare think toward space. She only thought her sis had some special method, and the vegetables grown were different from others’.
She glanced at the two holes in the wooden board. “Sis, did our sudden increase in strength come from this bok choy?”
Shi Tou also looked toward Shang Wan.
Shang Wan nodded. “The first time I took out bok choy, Xiao Huan noticed the smell was different. After you ate the bok choy, you had extra energy working in the afternoon. Remember?”
“I remember.” Xiao Huan said, “That day chopping bone was effortless. I thought Shi Tou sharpened the knife for me, but he didn’t.”
“Didn’t he sharpen it later?” Shi Tou muttered. “I remember too. At first I had lots of energy, but soon I was hungry and gradually lost strength. I thought it was because I ate my fill at noon.”
“It is indeed only temporary. After a few more tries, I found that eating the same amount of bok choy boosts strength for about two hours.”
Shang Wan glanced at the two holes in the door panel. “The bok choy eaten tonight was grown with spiritual spring water, so the effect might be a bit different.”
“Definitely different.” Shi Tou said confidently. “This time we got diarrhea!”
Three people: “…”
Shi Tou suspiciously eyed Shang Wan. “Sis, did you mess up the vegetable seed?”
Shang Wan thought it was actually possible.
After crossing over, the space changed a lot. Perhaps the spiritual spring water and spiritual field mutated, and together they produced a laxative-like effect.
Lu Chengjing raised a question. “Why didn’t Master He and the others react?”
Everyone ate the vegetables together, but only the three of them had diarrhea. The other shed was quiet, only snoring sounds.
Xiao Huan guessed, “Maybe they ate too little?”
“Impossible. Big Brother Ma drank two more bowls of soup than me.” Shi Tou held up two fingers. “He also got the last vegetable leaf.”
He was just one step slow!
“Maybe quantity caused a qualitative change. The key isn’t the bok choy, but the spiritual spring water.” Shang Wan pointed at Lu Chengjing. “I added spiritual spring water to the medicine too. He drank the most and had the biggest reaction.”
“Next is Yuan Yuan. The little one is still full of energy training the animal army on the mountain.”
“Then you and Shi Tou. I added spiritual spring water separately to your meals. Master He and theirs didn’t have any.”
“I get it! This is the marrow cleansing from the storybooks!” Shi Tou excitedly slapped his thigh. “Everything we expelled earlier was filth from our bodies. From now on, all illnesses gone, light as a feather, gaining divine power.”
He pointed at the hole in the door panel. “That’s the proof.”
