Chapter 202 Dislike (Second Update)
The members of Yongsheng's team were cooking hotpot in the restaurant. Chen Qiao and the others didn't know Zhou Fanghua, but seeing that she was obviously carefully made up, they were very curious and couldn't help but take a few more glances at her.
After the apocalypse, everyone's living standards dropped sharply. Most people could not even dress up, and it was good enough to be able to clean themselves up, after all, water resources were scarce. Unless they were water-based supernatural beings, everyone else had to save water.
Washing clothes is a waste of water and time, so many people don't bother to wash clothes. If they have extra clothes, they just throw away the dirty clothes, or wear them outside when working. If they don't have many clothes, they can only wear them. If they are really dirty, they use the saved waste water to wash them.
Fortunately, the apocalypse had just begun, and most families had clothes. In addition, unlike food, this thing was a scarce commodity, and it was sold in safe stores at a low price. Therefore, except for a very small number of people, most people were not sloppy. It was just that the conditions were really difficult, so they could only do things cheaply.
Some people who were well-off did not forget to bring cosmetics and other things with them when they fled, and would occasionally dress up. Chen Qiao and his companions had seen such people when they were walking in the safe zone.
But Zhou Fanghua was different. Whether it was her makeup or her clothing, she seemed to be extremely attentive. Coupled with the aura of a noble lady that she exuded, people couldn't help but feel puzzled when they saw her.
Chen Qiao and his companions had never seen such a lady dressed up so carefully even before the end of the world. They had never seen one in this difficult end of the world.
It’s not that people like that don’t exist, it’s just that Chen Qiao and the others have never been to the places where they appear.
People like Zhou Fanghua seem to live in another world and are incompatible with them.
While Chen Qiao and the other six were secretly observing, Fang Yuxin had already stood up and went out to open the door. Qu Qianhe knew Zhou Fanghua's character and was worried that Fang Yuxin would suffer a loss, so she followed him out.
The two walked quickly to the door with just the right smile on their faces, neither seeming to be indifferent nor trying to please, and being generous and dignified. Zhou Fanghua frowned slightly, feeling somewhat dissatisfied with Qu Qianhe and Fang Yuxin's attitudes.
For Zhou Fanghua, the two men's unpleasantness was already a neglect.
She had always wanted to outdo Qu Qianhe. She thought she had a better vision than Qu Qianhe in marriage. Qiu Yiming was an officer. He had real power, not to mention how much power he had. But what about Fang Jintang? He was just a businessman. No matter how much money he made, he would be at the mercy of others. How could it be as satisfying as holding real power?
But she didn't expect that Fang Jintang would expand the Fang family's business and even become the richest man in the business city. Moreover, the Fang family's wealth was also among the best in the country!
It’s a pity that most of these properties are stocks and real estate, which will be worthless when the end of the world comes.
But the Qiu family is different. They have an army and have recruited many good fighters. This is strength!
Qu Qianhe and Fang Yuxin still treated her with the same attitude as before the apocalypse. Don’t they understand that the world has changed a long time ago and the status of the Fang family and the Qiu family has become completely different?
Where do they get the confidence from?
Zhou Fanghua was furious and looked at Qu Qianhe and Fang Yuxin critically. She was stunned when she saw them, and then she was filled with strong jealousy and anger!
What's going on? Qu Qianhe is only two years younger than her, but now she looks like she's not even 30 years old! She wasn't this young the last time they met!
How did Qu Qianhe do it? Is this the ability of a supernatural being? Or was it Fang Yuxin who did it?
Yes, Fang Yuxin is a wood-type mutant. Her ability can heal wounds, so it shouldn’t be difficult to keep people looking young, right?
Zhou Fanghua's guess was not wrong. Wood energy is full of vitality. If a person's vitality is strong, he will naturally look young. People age because the vitality in the body is lost and the cells age, and the aging of cells causes the aging of internal organs and muscles. If wood energy is used to stimulate the recovery of a person's vitality, then not only will the appearance become younger, but the whole person will be reborn and become like a young person.
However, to really achieve this level, a lot of wood energy is needed. Don't say Fang Yuxin doesn't have that ability now, even if she really has it, she will never do it like this!
As the saying goes, "It is a crime to possess a treasure." From ancient times to the present, people have never given up the pursuit of immortality and youth. In order to achieve immortality and maintain youth, the powerful in ancient times asked people to make elixirs, even drank human blood, sucked the brains of boys and girls, and did all kinds of cruel things.
Although modern people are not as barbaric as the ancients, both men and women, when they get older, will pay attention to maintenance if they have the conditions, such as eating wild animals, taking precious medicines, or even undergoing surgery to make themselves look younger.
Now, her healing ability is already a cause for concern. If she has such ability again, I'm afraid some bigwigs in the country, or even the world, will keep their eyes on her!
The reason why Qu Qianhe and Fang Jintang look young is that they pay attention to health preservation and exercise, and their bodies are very healthy. They are not the kind of people who look bright on the outside but are weak on the inside.
The marrow cleansing fruit she gave them not only eliminated impurities from their bodies, but also had the effect of transforming and strengthening their bodies.
When their superpowers awakened, every aspect of their bodies was strengthened again, and their vitality was stimulated.
In addition, they absorbed Yuanjing many times, and their bodies were constantly strengthened. Fang Yuxin also gave them a lot of wood energy, which stimulated their vitality. The cultivation of supernatural powers itself has a transformative effect on the body. Later, when they practiced Taoism, their bodies were baptized by the spiritual energy of heaven and earth, and their vitality became more and more vigorous. This is how their bodies are much younger than before, and they look only 27 or 28 years old, not even 30 years old.
In fact, it's not just Qu Qianhe and Fang Jintang. Other psychics will also have their bodies strengthened when their powers awaken, absorb Yuan Crystals, practice, and every time they advance. Their blood and qi will become more vigorous, their vitality will become stronger, and their temperament will undergo earth-shaking changes.
If one is older, his body will become much younger after these strengthening processes, such as General Song and General Li. For those who are younger, their vitality will be strong, their development will be accelerated, and their body will become stronger.
Zhou Fanghua is an older woman who is particularly concerned about awakening her superpowers and her appearance and body. She has always secretly regarded Qu Qianhe as her rival, and when she saw her suddenly become younger, how could she not be shocked, jealous, and angry?
No matter what, Fang Yuxin is the future daughter-in-law of their Qiu family. She has such ability, but she is unwilling to help Qiu Hongsheng and her. What is her intention?
Zhou Fanghua's carefully trimmed nails pinched the soft flesh of her palm. She almost couldn't help but question Fang Yuxin. Only the intense pain in her palm could remind her to stay awake and not forget the purpose of coming to Fang's house today. She would lose the big picture for the small one!
However, Qu Qianhe had shocked her so much that even though she was usually very good at concealing her emotions, she still accidentally revealed them this time.
Fang Yuxin and Qu Qianhe watched this scene calmly.
Qu Qianhe originally wanted to be polite and invite her in. After seeing the jealousy and anger in Zhou Fanghua's eyes, she changed her mind. Regardless of whether it would be too rude to do so, she said directly to Zhou Fanghua: "There are guests at home, it's messy, you will definitely not be used to it if you go in. It's better here, the air is fresh, and the scenery is nice. If you have anything to say, just say it here."
She said this with a smile, her voice was soft and her smile was gentle, and even if she said it like that, it would not make people feel that she was unkind, and no one could find any fault with her.
Zhou Fanghua was so angry that her face turned blue. The string of rationality broke directly. Her nail accidentally pierced her palm, and the pain made her frown.
Zhou Fanghua quickly lowered his head to look at the palm of his hand and found a small cut as wide as a fingernail. Scarlet blood oozed out at once, making the palm of his hand look bloody and messy.
She quickly took out a handkerchief and pressed it on the wound. The handkerchief was made of real silk with delicate embroidery on it. She didn't know if it had been sprayed with perfume or smoked with incense, but it gave off a light and elegant fragrance.
But in the blink of an eye, dark red blood spread across the aqua blue silk scarf, looking abrupt and hideous, destroying the beauty of the scarf itself.
Zhou Fanghua felt so sad when she saw this scene. This was her favorite silk handkerchief, and she didn't have many of them! Whether it was the selection of materials, dyeing or embroidery, the price was not low! Moreover, it was rare. Before the end of the world, it was in short supply and there was no market for it. After the end of the world, forget it!
Now that the silk handkerchief is stained with blood and there are no good conditions for cleaning it, it is completely ruined!
She felt pain for a while, and then she looked at Qu Qianhe and Fang Yuxin with a bit of resentment in her eyes.
Qu Qianhe didn't like Zhou Fanghua's superior attitude, so she deliberately sighed when she saw this: "What a good thing, what a pity." Although she said that, Zhou Fanghua could hear obvious gloating in her tone!
Zhou Fanghua gritted her teeth in hatred. The stinging pain from the wound had already made her irritable, and now her beloved silk handkerchief was ruined, which made her even more upset. So she was too lazy to be polite to Qu Qianhe and said directly, "I have something important to discuss with you and Jintang. Is it not appropriate to do it here?" After saying that, she frowned in disdain.
When Qu Qianhe heard this, her heart skipped a beat and she had a rough guess about Zhou Fanghua's purpose. She thought for a moment and said deliberately, "They are cooking hot pot in the house. The fumes are very heavy. You will definitely not be able to bear it if you go in."
When she said this, Zhou Fanghua's brows really furrowed, with a look of disgust on his face.
I want to complain here because I felt really uncomfortable after reading a certain message and I just want to express my feelings.
I know that where there are people, there are rivers and lakes, but I didn't expect that when I wrote a novel that I like, there would be people who would come to criticize me under false pretenses. I have said before that I am not a robot, and my brain is not a high-level computer. What I write will definitely have bugs and inappropriate places. I welcome people to point them out, but I refuse to deliberately find fault.
Everyone can see what's going on in the comment section. Basically, I will seriously reply to every message, and I have never deleted any critical comments. If someone thinks that the presence of children is not good, or has other opinions, I will read them all carefully and reply to them seriously. I have never been dissatisfied with them, and I am also trying to adopt everyone's opinions.
As a result, after it was on the front page and highly recommended, people started to find faults. They were so good at lying that I spent 18 hours to see the research institute causing trouble for the heroine. After I responded, the person did not show up. I thought the matter was over and I didn't want to be unhappy about such a thing or such a person. I just wanted to write my novel happily.
But I didn't expect that when I opened the webpage today and read the comments, I saw someone using a fake account to find fault again. I don't understand. Others are just driven by profit and go against their conscience. What benefit can they get from doing this? This book's performance is average, so how can it make people jealous?
