"Nurse, could you please tell me how to get to the emergency room?"

Xu Milu and Cui Qingli rushed to Ningcheng First People's Hospital as soon as they got off the plane, without even having a sip of water.

On the phone, Cui Mingjue stammered and didn't say what was wrong with Cui Shengguo. She only said that the old man wanted to see her and told her to go back quickly.

These words sounded like a deathbed confession. Xu Milu was so frightened that she didn't even have time to pack her luggage. She bought a ticket for the next available flight and rushed back home.

When the nurse in the duty room heard Xu Milu give the name Cui Shengguo, she stared at Xu Milu for several moments before pointing in a strange direction:

"The old man is in the emergency room right now, you should go and take a look."

Cui Qingli was terrified and covered in sweat. She called Cui Qingyuan, but the line was constantly busy.

"Junior Aunt, no, no, nothing bad has happened, has it?"

At the front of the ward, Cui Qingli's legs were weak. Xu Milu, with her keen senses, immediately heard Cui Shengguo's loud, forceful cursing voice from inside the ward. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief and pull Cui Qingli inside.

"Ninghaiqiao! Are you trying to betray your master and ancestors?! Ah!! I'm almost eighty years old, do you think I can afford to lose face like this?! Ah!? Where are the scissors?!"

Inside the ward, doctors and nurses surrounded the room, all curious and eager to see what was going on. Xu Milu, carrying Cui Qingli in one hand and clearing a path with the other, finally saw Cui Shengguo sitting on the hospital bed, his voice full of energy.

Yes, her complexion is rosy.

Yes, the voice is full of energy.

Yes, her hair is long and black.

"?"

Long hair?

A huge question mark slowly rose on Xu Milu's forehead.

In just three days, Choi Seung-guk's original gray hair disappeared, replaced by a head of long, shiny black hair that draped down his back in a classic style. The quality of his hair was something that would make any girl feel ashamed.

If you only look at her from behind, some people might think she is a beautiful woman.

But when you look down, you see the face of an old man that looks very out of place. Even his eyebrows are as black and shiny as if they were newly grown. At first glance, it looks like Cui Shengguo is wearing a wig.

The people around them all had expressions that suggested they wanted to laugh but dared not. Ning Haiqiao and Cui Mingjue, two middle-aged men, stood obediently to the side, not daring to breathe loudly, and kept their heads down so that their gazes would not fall on Cui Shengguo's head.

I've thought about all the sad things in my life.

If I laugh, I'll probably get scolded again.

"Hahahaha... Hahahaha... I can't laugh anymore, I need to catch my breath... Ouch..."

Old Liu sat next to him and laughed so hard he pounded the bed:

"You're getting old, and you're still so flirtatious, with that long hair. Anyone who didn't know you would think you were some young girl! Hahahaha, oh dear, I can't take it anymore..."

"Ninghai Bridge!!"

Choi Seung-guk took a breath, pointed to the door, and said, "You, get out of here. I don't want to see you right now."

Ning Haiqiao quickly stepped forward, his face full of sincerity:

"Master, I just called my junior sister, she'll be here soon. Um, how about we have the doctor check you again? Are you sure you're okay?"

"Check my ass! Aren't you embarrassed enough? People will think I'm wearing a wig!"

Choi Seung-guk was pulling his hair, wishing he could disappear into a crack in the ground.

"Look, look!! So much has grown overnight, who would believe it! Who would believe it!!"

He was surrounded by doctors, each eager to try, their eyes gleaming with curiosity, wishing they could examine him closely.

A doctor suggested conducting a more thorough examination, but Choi Seung-guk dismissed the suggestion.

"What kind of checkup? This hair is on my head, how could I not know how it grew? It's just that I drank the fruit vinegar my apprentice made with small toon fruits, my scalp was itchy all night, and this is what I woke up like the next day. I'm so old, do you think I'd joke with you?"

At this moment, Old Liu finally noticed his granddaughter outside the crowd and quickly pulled her in:

"Dami, what is that thing you gave your master? Look at it, how did it get like this... Is it bad for his health? He's been examined by everyone at the hospital, and there's nothing wrong, but his hair is growing way too fast, it's really scary! You have to take a look, take a look."

Xu Milu's eyes were unfocused as she stared at Cui Shengguo's long hair, and after a long pause, she finally managed to squeeze out a sentence:

"Master...you ate all those small toon seeds?"

Cui Shengguo blushed, feeling that if his young apprentice saw him like this, he would lose all face as a master.

Ninghai Bridge on one side quickly explained:

"It's like this, junior sister. You said before that eating small toon fruit is good for hair, so I simply used it to make fruit vinegar for Master. I just finished making it yesterday, and Master drank a few more cups, and then... that's how it happened."

He also looked bewildered, clearly still recovering from the immense shock, his eyes glazed over.

It was like magic; overnight, the eighty-year-old's hair grew wildly like weeds. To say it was real seemed unrealistic, but to say it was a dream was also impossible, since Cui Shengguo's over one-meter-long black hair was still down.

"...That must have been five catties of small toon fruits. Did Master drink them all?"

Xu Milu felt a soreness in her teeth.

"Junior Sister, you said that stuff is good for your health. Senior Brother thought it was a tonic, so he made half of it into fruit vinegar and brewed the other half into wine for my dad to drink. If it's the fruit's fault, we ate it that day! I didn't feel anything."

Cui Mingjue scratched his head.

"Second Brother, talking about effects without mentioning dosage is just being irresponsible. It's all my fault for not explaining it clearly to you. This stuff can make hair grow, but I didn't expect it to be so effective—"
