After Favorability Is Maxed Chapter 180 – 180 I'll Try It

180 I'll Try It

The room fell into silence.

Duan Lanruo knew that this matter would have a huge impact on the Xuanyin family. If they could really solve the problem of their short lifespans, which were like curses to their bodies. Given the Xuanyin family's astonishing talent in cultivation, it was not impossible for them to rival the Jade Mirage Sect in the future.

The impact of this matter was not only on the Xuanyin family, but also on the entire structure of the Central Plains.

And because of some unspeakable reasons, the City Lord was extremely patient. She held the porcelain bottle in her hand and quietly waited for the reply of the current Family Head of the Xuanyin family.

After a long while.

Ye Danqing looked at the milky white porcelain bottle and then turned to look at her daughter. The young girl sat under the morning light. Her face was as beautiful as a flower. Her skin was white and tender with a little blush. She had the beauty and vitality of youth. Her mother, who had watched her grow up, was in a trance for a moment.

This was a side of her daughter that she had never seen before.

In the past, this child would always sit quietly in the corner because of her weak body. She was as thin as a fragile daffodil, which made people's hearts ache when they thought of her seemingly doomed fate. Although she would show her lively and arrogant personality in front of her family, most of the time, Ye Cike would always raise her chin, pretend to be arrogant, and ignore others.

She was never willing to talk to anyone else, let alone be friends with them. Other than Xiu'er, a handmaiden who grew up with her, Ye Cike never spoke to anyone of her age.

Ye Danqing knew that it wasn't that this child didn't want to talk to them. When she secretly hid behind the door and looked enviously at the family sisters, she, as a mother, naturally saw it.

However, Ye Cike knew her own fate. Her talent was inversely proportional to her lifespan. It could even be said that she had exchanged her life for the supreme talent of reaching the Void Refinement stage at the age of 10. Therefore, she did not want to experience the pain of being reluctant to part with someone when she was about to die.

Ye Danqing had also advised her that love was a great pain to the people of the Xuanyin family, but this child was like a moth flying into the fire, completely devoted to that Jiang Feng.

Ye Danqing held Ye Cike's hand tightly and began to examine her more carefully.

When the spiritual Qi flowed through her meridians, the young girl's physical condition was presented to Ye Danqing in a more complete manner.

This was a body that did not seem to belong to the Xuanyin family. Although she still looked thin and weak on the outside, she was very healthy on the inside. It was the kind of health that a normal person would have.

Under normal circumstances, Ye Danqing should be 37 years old this year, and Ye Cike should have died of physical weakness at this age.

However, under the current circumstances, she already had the foundation to live to a hundred years old!

Ye Danqing's beautiful eyes could not help but redden. A trace of tears quietly appeared in them. Her heart was filled with excitement. Could this really be the opportunity for the Xuanyin family to rise again? The curse that had been following them like a shadow could finally be lifted, and they would no longer have to send off their clansmen again and again.

Ye Cike panicked and wiped her tears with her fingers. She looked back helplessly, thinking that her mother had been humiliated to this extent. She felt wronged and cried.

The young girl could not help but feel vexed. If she had known earlier, she would not have come with Duan Lanruo to lie to her mother.

However, if she did not do this, her mother would not accept that bastard, let alone the people in her clan. This was the only way.

Although she still felt a little guilty, this was the best way.

However, seeing his mother on the verge of tears for the first time in front of him, Ye Cike felt terrible.

Ye Danqing squeezed the little girl's hand. When she saw her turn around, she said softly, “It's fine. I'm happy.”

“Tell me, did that thing really improve your constitution?” she asked.

Ye Cike's face blushed again, and his eyes wavered for a long time before he stammered an ‘Mmm'.

“What do you mean by ‘mmm'?”

Ye Danqing looked at her daughter in confusion. Then, her gaze returned to the porcelain bottle in Duan Lanruo's hand. She raised her head and looked straight at the City Lord, “What is this?”

Duan Lanruo gently shook the bottle and placed a jade-like white finger on her lips. She smiled. “I can't say.”

“Is there something you can't say?” Ye Danqing asked, “Are you planning to use this to threaten the Xuanyin family?”

Duan Lanruo laughed. “Even if I want to threaten you, it's not up to me to do so. If I can't say it, then I can't say it… I don't have much left of this thing with me. The main thing is that it can't be kept for a long time. Therefore, after refining it, I only have this one bottle now.”

She spoke in such a mysterious way that it made Ye Danqing suspicious. However, she roughly understood how precious this item was. Thinking about the fact that the City Lord also had many properties under her name, she thought to herself, ‘Could it be that she's planning to raise the price and make a big profit?'

Ye Cike hid in a corner and covered her face.

Duan Lanruo's smile grew even wider. She walked closer and sat down beside Ye Danqing. She opened the porcelain bottle, poured out some of it, and handed it over to the head of the Xuanyin family.

Ye Danqing squinted her eyes and took a closer look. She found that it was almost the same as most of the medicinal ointments made from pills. It was a paste-like substance, and she couldn't tell what the ingredients were at first glance.

“Family Head Ye, I've said so much, but you still don't trust me. Why don't you try it yourself? If I wanted to harm you, you've been unconscious for so long, and you've already done what you should. Why do you have to do this?” Duan Lanruo said in a gentle tone.

Ye Danqing hesitated for a moment, but after thinking about it, it seemed to make sense. She said, “I'll try.”

After she ate it, she was stunned and felt that the taste was strange.

However, there were many pills with strange smells in the world. It couldn't be said that the smell was strange… Basically, it tasted funny.

“Family Head Ye, do you want to feel your body's condition?” Duan Lanruo said with a smile.

Ye Danqing did as she was told and felt her body's condition. Suddenly, her eyes widened.

“Family Head Ye, how does it feel to try it personally? Will the medicine cure the illness and solve the problem?”

The beautiful woman came up to her, squinted her eyes, and lifted Ye Danqing's chin. “Family Head Ye, this is the life-saving straw for the entire Xuanyin family, and it's in my hands right now. As for the raw material, only Jian Feng… No, only Liu Yuan knows it, but do you still object to the marriage between Cike and him? Are you going to give up your small family for the sake of the greater good, or are you going to ruin the future of the Xuanyin family for your own selfish desires?”

“…”

Ye Danqing's face was expressionless, but the spiritual energy in her body circulated. In an instant, her cultivation base broke through the closed aperture. With a snap, she broke free from the rope and suddenly reached out to strangle Duan Lanruo's neck.

“Argh! Mother!” Ye Cike was dumbfounded.

The ropes on Ye Danqing's body all fell down. Her aura rose sharply as she stared at Duan Lanruo with a cold gaze.
