Chapter 866 (Page 1/2)

Half an hour later, Lin Man felt as if her legs had lost all feeling and were completely numb.

You know, her physical fitness is usually not weak! So why did she feel so tired and exhausted today after just a little effort?

When the two finally returned to bed, Huo Qingci actually still had the mind to touch her.

Seeing this, Lin Man grabbed the shelled ice blue lotus seeds beside her without hesitation, without even removing the core, and quickly stuffed them into Huo Qingci's mouth, saying, "Eat quickly and have a good sleep!"

Huo Qingci only felt a sudden burst of icy coldness in his mouth. He wanted to savor the novel taste carefully, but he couldn't help but gently bite open the lotus seed.

However, the moment he took a bite, an indescribable bitter taste instantly spread, almost making him spit out the lotus seed.

Seeing this, Lin Man quickly reached out and covered Huo Qingci's mouth, shouting anxiously: "Don't spit it out, this is a rare treasure!"

Although he was extremely reluctant, Huo Qingci finally endured the strong bitterness and swallowed the whole lotus seed.

Then, he frowned and complained in pain, "This lotus seed core is too bitter! It's dozens of times more bitter than snake gall!"

Hearing this, Lin Man smiled slightly and explained calmly, "This is not an ordinary lotus seed, but an extremely precious ice-blue lotus seed. Its core is twenty times more bitter than that of an ordinary lotus seed!"

Huo Qingci looked at Lin Man suspiciously and asked doubtfully, "If it's so bitter, how did you manage to eat it?"

Lin Man calmly picked up another ice-blue lotus seed, first skillfully broke it open, took out the tender lotus seed meat, put it into her mouth, chewed it and swallowed it.

Then he sat up, picked up the water cup on the bedside table, took a big sip of water, and finally carefully put the bitter lotus seed heart into his mouth, tilted his head back and swallowed it smoothly.

As soon as the lotus seed core entered her throat, Lin Man felt an indescribable bitterness instantly spreading in her mouth.

The taste seemed to grip one's tongue tightly, causing her to frown and almost spit it out.

She hurriedly got up from the bed and rushed downstairs, anxiously looking for something that could ease the bitterness.

She ran to the kitchen, grabbed the honeycomb from the tub, took a bite, and then sprinted back upstairs.

As soon as she entered the room, she went straight to the bedside and asked Huo Qingci, who was still lying on the bed: "Qingci, do you want to have a bite? This honeycomb honey is so sweet!"

Huo Qingci's brows were furrowed at this moment. He sat up slowly and with difficulty, and complained, "Oh my God, I feel like even opening my mouth is a torture now. My whole mouth is numb.

I really don't understand why this little lotus seed core is so bitter! I've heard that snake gallbladder is extremely bitter, but I think this lotus seed core is even more bitter!

Eating just one lotus seed core is enough to make one groan uncontrollably, and taking three for detoxification, how can one possibly eat that?"

Seeing Huo Qingci's miserable expression, Lin Man quickly passed the bitten honeycomb in her hand to Huo Qingci's mouth and said softly, "Take a bite quickly. It won't be so bitter after you eat the honey."

Huo Qingci opened his mouth slightly and gently took a small bite of honeycomb honey.

Suddenly, the sweet taste melted on the tip of the tongue, slightly diluting the bitterness that remained in the mouth.

Seeing Huo Qingci eating the honeycomb honey, Lin Man showed a relieved smile on her face.

Then she took a bite as well, and the two of them started eating it, taking turns.

In a short while, the palm-sized piece of honeycomb was eaten up by the two of them.

After eating the honey, Lin Man carefully helped Huo Qingci up and walked to the bathroom to wash up. After washing up, the two returned to the warm bed again.

However, at this moment, whether due to psychological effects or the influence of the lotus seed core, their moods became exceptionally calm and peaceful.

The restlessness and desire that used to surge in my heart from time to time seemed to have completely disappeared at this moment, replaced by an unprecedented tranquility and indifference.

At this moment, neither of them spoke, but just lay there quietly, feeling each other's steady breathing and enjoying this rare quiet time.

Soon, sleepiness gradually came over them, and they slowly closed their eyes and fell into a sweet dream.

The next morning, Lin Man woke up early, washed up, and sat in front of the dressing table to look in the mirror. Suddenly, she found that the pimples at the corners of her mouth seemed to have disappeared.

Her face is fair and smooth, as if she had applied a layer of BB cream.

Looking back at Huo Qingci standing behind her with a cane, the fine lines around his eyes had disappeared, and his face was firm and smooth. This ice-blue lotus seed is simply a treasure!

I counted them yesterday, and there were only about twenty ice blue lotus seeds in total. They used two, so there are only eighteen left. It seems they should use them sparingly.
