Chapter 221 Keep it a secret
"What's wrong? You look terrible."
Lin Muyan frowned as she looked at Fu Sinian. He looked preoccupied, and it was rare to see him so listless; it was almost unlike him.
Fu Sinian naturally couldn't tell Lin Muyan what he dreamed about, so he made up an excuse:
"Hey, it's because you haven't come to see me for so long, but you've been getting close to Wei Tuling. I'm jealous."
“Not only him, but also that Xiao Li. You see him more often than you see me. We are the real allies.”
Lin Muyan pouted and glared at Fu Sinian speechlessly.
This guy is really shameless, he says whatever comes to mind...
"Alright, I won't say anything more to you, lest some people talk badly about me behind my back. Here, this is for you, drink it."
"What is this? You're not trying to poison me, are you?"
Lin Muyan: "..."
Fu Sinian, being cheeky, took the medicine and immediately drank it all in one gulp, as if afraid that if he drank it too late, Lin Muyan would change her mind and want to go back.
After drinking the medicine, Fu Sinian pondered for a moment, then nodded solemnly.
"Hmm, it tastes good, it shouldn't be poison."
"I'd rather poison you than do that. I'm leaving. You should contact Wei Turing as soon as possible. If they're on a mission, you should go with them."
After Lin Muyan finished speaking, she got up to leave. She didn't want to stay any longer, afraid that she would lose her temper and beat this foul-mouthed guy to death.
"Don't go, don't go! At least tell me what that potion was!"
Lin Muyan didn't stop walking, but in the end she couldn't bear it, and besides, she knew this guy was a chatterbox.
"It's a body enhancer. Everyone in my family except Xiaonuan, who is still too young to drink it, has taken it. It can increase the body's strength. You should try it out when you have time."
Fu Sinian was excited, and as soon as he clenched his fists, he immediately felt that the strength was indeed different.
"What about Wei Turing? Does he have it? Did he give him the potion you gave me?"
Lin Muyan rolled her eyes: "I didn't give it to you."
They didn't give it to me? Great!
Fu Sinian was so happy he almost clapped his hands, but then he heard Lin Muyan's soft voice coming from afar.
“I didn’t give it to him yet because he has awakened his superpower. I gave the remaining tube to Xiao Li, who needs it more right now.”
Fu Ssu-nien: ? ? ?
[Hahaha, look at Young Master Fu's ashen face, frozen in place as if struck by lightning.]
[Why did he have to ask? If he hadn't asked, wouldn't he be the man Lin Muyan cherishes most? Hahaha.]
Fu Ssu-nien: The clown was actually myself.
Men, that damned competitive spirit.
[Body enhancement agents might be nothing to powerful Awakened Ones, but for ordinary people, they're practically a miracle drug. It's just a pity that the probability of finding them with a golden shovel is very low, otherwise, one could assemble an army of superhuman strength.]
Lin Muyan left the remaining medicinal liquid with Xiao Li, wondering if the experts in this world could replicate it.
[How could they possibly replicate it? This is a product of the Golden Shovel, far ahead of its time. I estimate they could at most develop a short-acting stamina-enhancing drug; the possibility of completely replicating the body-enhancing agent is absolutely zero!]
**
Just as Lin Muyan and the comments section had predicted, Xiao Li, like Su Chengan, also handed over the empty medicine tubes.
"Grandpa, you saw it too. I can now lift you up with one hand easily. This potion is really amazing."
Lifted up by Xiao Li with one hand, Xiao Huaifeng, whose head was already touching the ceiling, wiped the cold sweat from his forehead and said speechlessly:
"You brat, put me down first."
"You have no manners! If you want to show off your strength, you can lift other things, like that desk. Why are you trying to lift an old man like me?"
Xiao Huaifeng was so angry that he blew his beard and glared. He suspected that the brat was doing it on purpose, so he provided evidence!
Xiao Li suppressed a laugh, put the old man down, and said in a serious tone:
"I also want to let you, Grandpa, personally experience the change in my power."
"Hmph, then tell me, where did this mysterious potion come from?"
Xiao Li shut his mouth; he didn't want to talk.
But Xiao Huaifeng wasn't stupid; he guessed it immediately.
"Is this Miss Lin? I won't ask too many questions. She does have many secrets. Since we want to cooperate with her, we can't pry into other people's secrets. Don't worry about that."
Xiao Li knew the old man was being sensible, but he still spoke up to explain on Lin Muyan's behalf.
"It's not that she doesn't want to help us or humanity, it's just that she doesn't have many of these potions herself. Otherwise, she wouldn't have been hiding them from me. The fact that she shared a vial with me is already a great favor."
Xiao Li didn't dare to boast that he held a high position in Lin Muyan's heart, which was why she sent him the body enhancement agent.
But at least she treated him like one of her own, which made him very happy.
Xiao Huaifeng nodded after a moment of silence.
"We won't delve into the origins of this potion for now, but such a miraculous potion is indeed impossible to possess in large quantities. Don't worry, brat, Grandpa will keep it a secret."
After a moment of contemplation, Xiao Huaifeng continued:
"By the way, is there anything Fu Sinian wants you to pass on to me recently?"
Since questioning Fu Sinian last time, Xiao Huaifeng has indeed not sent anyone to investigate the mystery of the sea fog.
But he desperately wanted to know what had happened to the Doomsday Fortress. Was it even real?
Xiao Li's eyes flashed. Last time, he had only guessed that the "boss" Fu Sinian mentioned, the owner of the Doomsday Fortress, might be Lin Muyan.
But this time, he was certain that the owner of the Doomsday Fortress was definitely Lin Muyan.
She even possesses this mysterious potion that can modify the human body and grant immense power, so it seems reasonable that she is the owner of this doomsday fortress.
Seeing that the old man didn't suspect Lin Muyan, Xiao Li decided to continue keeping it a secret.
He said:
"It seems that Fu Sinian is about to awaken his superpowers recently, and I rarely have any contact with him."
Seeing the old man still pondering this matter with his head down, Xiao Li couldn't help but say:
“Grandpa, since they got Fu Sinian to reveal the information, it means they are willing to cooperate with us. Since they don’t want us to investigate on our own, let’s not investigate privately for now.”
"If the doomsday fortress they mentioned can actually protect humanity, then we must not offend them."
Xiao Huaifeng thought for a moment and said:
"I just hope that the doomsday fortress they mentioned really exists and can protect humanity. They're already researching and building shelters. Recently, various studies have also found that air quality is deteriorating and unknown viruses are spreading everywhere."
"If this continues, the human living environment will inevitably become worse, and in the future, even breathing may become a drain on life..."
