In the living room, at the dining table.

The family of six sat together eating breakfast.

The breakfast was very plentiful.

There is soy milk, steamed buns, eggs, and all sorts of delicious pastries.

It's no longer just plain congee with pickled vegetables.

All of this was thanks to He Xie selling the two nine-tailed fox tails, which made him a millionaire.

He could easily hand over tens of thousands of yuan to his adoptive mother so she could improve the food at the orphanage.

And this is one of the biggest reasons why his adoptive mother's attitude towards him improved.

Money isn't everything.

But having money can really resolve a lot of family conflicts.

Conversely, a lack of money can lead to many family conflicts.

While drinking his soy milk, He Xie looked up and glanced around the living room.

The walls are peeling.

The furniture is old and worn.

A quick glance will always reveal areas where bricks or tiles are missing.

"After the college entrance exams are over and summer vacation starts, we'll have to spend some money to renovate and expand this orphanage."

"After all, it's really not easy to have a complete family in chaotic times."

"We must maintain this situation properly."

As he was thinking, He Xie suddenly remembered that he still had eight Qi and Blood Pills in his system inventory.

Originally, a total of ten were to be refined.

He ate one, and Lin Xiaoxiao ate the other one that was left in the alchemy room.

So there are only eight left.

He Xie took out five Qi and Blood Pills and handed them to his adoptive mother, sisters, and cousins, saying, "These are Qi and Blood Pills. Consuming them can enhance the Qi and blood in your body."

"Qi and Blood Pill?"

Zhao Keying looked at the small, vermilion pill in her hand and murmured a question in confusion.

Her major in college was pharmacology, but she had never heard of the three words "Qi Xue Dan" (vital energy and blood pill), let alone seen the small vermilion pill in her hand.

She looked at He Xie, puzzled, and asked:

"Brother, where did you get this Qi and Blood Pill? I've never heard of it before."

"I made it myself."

He Xie took a sip of soy milk and said calmly.

Zhao Keying was surprised. He practiced it himself?

How is that possible?

I studied pharmacology diligently at school for almost a year, but I still don't know how to concoct elixirs.

How could a high school student who has never studied alchemy possibly know how to make medicine?

[The contrast value from Zhao Keying is +3574.]

Looking at the numerical prompts that suddenly flashed in the depths of his mind, He Xie smiled and did not explain in detail why he knew how to refine pills.

After finishing his soy milk, he said:

"Everyone, stop thinking about it and hurry up and eat the Qi and Blood Pills you have. Otherwise, if they are left in the air for too long, their medicinal effects will dissipate."

Upon hearing her brother's words, Song Yuxin was the first to put the Qi and Blood Pill into her mouth and swallow it along with a mouthful of cloudy soy milk.

The next moment, her previously delicate and fair face flushed bright red.

You can clearly see beads of sweat seeping out.

"Brother, I feel so hot."

Song Yuxin covered her face, blushing, and looked at He Xie softly.

He Xie was about to explain to her when Zhao Keying interrupted, saying, "This is a normal phenomenon caused by a temporary increase in the body's Qi and blood, so don't worry."

After saying that, she opened her mouth and swallowed the Qi and Blood Pill in her hand.

Then, just like Song Yuxin, her fair face instantly turned red, and she was covered in sweat.

Seeing this, Liu Yan and Gu Xinyao on the opposite side also swallowed the Qi and Blood Pills.

As for the young Li Muke, she swallowed the Qi and Blood Pill without a second thought the moment He Xie handed it to her.

After all, she's a foodie.

I don't care whether it tastes good or not, I only care whether I can eat it.

"That's strange..."

He Xie looked at Li Muke, who was wolfing down her food, and felt puzzled.

After taking the Qi and Blood Pill, everyone else's face turned completely red and they were sweating profusely.

Why is it that my third sister ate it but didn't experience any adverse effects?

Could it be that...

Is my third younger sister's constitution somewhat special?

The reason why her appetite is so abnormal may also be related to this possible physical condition.

I kept thinking like that.

He Xie suddenly felt that he might have discovered something incredible.

After finishing breakfast in a short while.

All six members of the family had to leave for school.

Among them, the older sister, Zhao Keying, was going to school to teach students.

Meanwhile, the adoptive mother, Liu Yan, plans to send young Li Muke to kindergarten to torment the young and beautiful female teacher.

"Sis, wait a minute."

In the courtyard, He Xie called out to Zhao Keying, who was about to drive her electric scooter out.

Zhao Keying looked at him and asked, "What are you doing?"

"Sister, take these. Your health isn't very good; you need to take better care of yourself."

He Xie handed Zhao Keying a bottle containing three Qi and Blood Pills, and smiled at her with concern.

Zhao Keying was stunned for a moment, clearly not expecting He Xie to have so many Qi and Blood Pills.

[Contrast value from Zhao Keying: +986.]

However, she quickly regained her composure, shoved the bottle back into He Xie's hand, and said, "You have the college entrance exam in just over ten days, you should keep it for yourself."

"I don't need it."

He Xie smiled and put the bottle back into Zhao Keying's hand.

Zhao Keying pursed her lips, looked into He Xie's eyes and said, "Although I call you brother, we are not actually related by blood, and we have only lived together for less than ten years."

"You've been so good to me, I really don't know how I'll ever be able to repay you."

"To be honest, is it really okay for you to do so much for me without expecting anything in return?"

Did you pay a lot?

The cost of a single Qi and Blood Pill is only about a hundred yuan, so it doesn't involve much effort at all.

However.

Zhao Keying had no idea about any of this.

Seeing Zhao Keying's uneasy expression as she accepted the Qi and Blood Pill, He Xie said sincerely, "Regardless of blood ties, we are all family. There's no right or wrong in it, just accept it."

"younger brother......"

Zhao Keying wanted to say something more.

But He Xie didn't give her that chance at all, and immediately said with a smirk that wasn't exactly serious:

"Sister, if you really think I'm at a disadvantage and you have no way to repay me, then why don't you just marry me and become my maid, serving me every day?"

Zhao Keying: "???"

[The contrast value from Zhao Keying is +1314.]

"screw you!"

Zhao Keying realized what was happening and rolled her eyes at He Xie, scolding him playfully, "You're so irresponsible! If you make that kind of joke again, I'll beat you up!"

After clenching her fist fiercely at He Xie, she stopped being coy and put the bottle containing the Qi and Blood Pill into her small handbag.

Yes, so what if we're not related by blood?

Anyway, we're family now.

The younger brother is good to his older sister, and the older sister has no way to repay him. So, she can just be even better to her younger brother in the future.

With this thought in mind, Zhao Keying immediately felt much more at ease.

"quick!"

"Run faster!"

"hurry up!"

Suddenly, a series of anxious and flustered urging voices came from outside the courtyard.

It was the voice of her adoptive mother, Liu Yan.

Upon hearing the sound, He Xie quickly ran out of the courtyard and looked in the direction from which the sound came.

Then they saw Liu Yan carrying Li Muke and running quickly toward the courtyard, with Song Yuxin and Gu Xinyao following behind her.

"Aunt Liu, what's wrong?"

Upon seeing this, He Xie quickly went up to greet him and asked.

Upon seeing He Xie, Liu Yan immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said breathlessly, "The sky... there is a prehistoric alien race hunting in the sky."

"Buzz—"

Suddenly, a piercing sound came from the sky.

He Xie looked up in the direction of the sound and saw a giant bird circling continuously a hundred meters in the air.

"Quick, everyone get inside and hide!"

Seeing that the ancient alien race had caught up, Liu Yan immediately urged everyone to go inside and take refuge.

The younger sisters were very obedient and quickly followed her into the house.

The older Zhao Keying and He Xie were standing outside the courtyard, looking up at the giant bird circling in the sky.

Liu Yan immediately became anxious upon seeing this and urged the two of them, "Why aren't you two coming in yet!"

He Xie glanced at his adoptive mother upon hearing this, then said to Zhao Keying beside him:

"Sister, come inside quickly, don't make Aunt Liu worry."

"And what about you?"

"You know my current strength, so don't worry about me."

"Okay, be careful, don't overexert yourself."

After saying that, Zhao Keying immediately got out of the car and hid inside the house.

After she left, He Xie quickly turned his attention back to the giant bird in the sky.

It looks a lot like a vulture, but a much larger version.

Its wingspan is very large, six to seven times the size of its body, giving the impression of blotting out the sky.

It is very conspicuous.

However, the most striking feature is that it has two heads.

He Xie narrowed his eyes slightly, trying his best to focus his gaze on the giant bird.

Then, it used the Know Yourself and Know Your Enemy Card to remotely observe its bio-information panel.
