Chapter 126 - 33 Ancient Magical Beast
"Huahua, are you hiding something from your mother?" Lately, Lie Rou was visibly upset.
Yue Jinghua knew that she harbored suspicions about the events of the past few days and had no choice but to sit down with her beautiful mother.
"Mother, actually, I have something to tell you," Yue Jinghua deliberated deeply, considering which matters she should disclose to Lie Rou.
Half-truths and half-falsehoods, not even an Immortal could detect the discrepancies. So, Yue Jinghua slightly embellished her experiences from Hundred Beast Mountain, though the matter of soul transmigration was absolutely forbidden to mention. She revealed everything about meeting Old Xia from Divine Court and the restoration of her Dantian, including starting a small pharmacy, and she disclosed it all.
"Daughter turned disaster into a blessing, gained the favor of Divine Court, learned the Dark Skill to treat the Dantian, repaired the Dantian, and awakened the Alchemy Fire in the Dantian. This matter, you must not reveal to others in the Lie Family Mansion. I recently had a breakthrough to the Jade Dark Realm, but the Dark Skill I practiced is unique, so others have yet to notice. As for Grandma’s Alchemy Technique, it was a month ago when I accidentally found it under the floor tiles of the alchemy room, from where I learned the methods of alchemy. This time I went out with the Rebellion Mercenary Group because I was missing some herbs for alchemy, and needed the Mercenary Group’s help to gather them," Yue Jinghua explained quite reasonably.
Yue Jinghua didn’t realize that the words she unwittingly blurted out were actually quite accurate. Back then, Lie Changgong and Feng Wanwan had indeed made numerous mercenary friends with widespread connections. Invisibly, this made Lie Rou believe her daughter’s words.
"Silly child, your mother isn’t so obstinate and ignorant. Even your father once considered becoming a mercenary," mentioning her husband Yue Nian, a gleam appeared on Lie Rou’s face, and her eyes softened considerably.
But then, Lie Rou’s thoughts shifted. Her daughter, a month ago, persuaded her to refuse the money sent by her eldest son Yue Minzhi. She was merely a sixteen-year-old girl, where could she have gotten an income from? She must have had no choice but to expose herself to the public eye, joining some Mercenary Group in order to support the family.
Thinking of these things made Lie Rou feel sorrowful, and she said in a low voice, "Huahua, you have truly been wronged."
Yue Jinghua couldn’t bear to see Lie Rou wiping tears, so she took out the newly refined Feminine Charm Pill and poured out a few, "Mother, these are the elixir pills I newly concocted. With mother’s beauty, crying all day will make you ugly. If father comes back one day and sees you like this, he might not want you anymore, and then don’t blame me."
Taken aback by the mention of Yue Nian, Lie Rou’s eyes conveyed both joy and sorrow, and upon clearly seeing the Elixir Pills in Yue Jinghua’s hand, she couldn’t help but exclaim softly.
