Chapter 68 "Father?" "Rebellious daughter!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone's expression changed, and the atmosphere instantly became tense.
Especially Old Master Shan, whose face was so gloomy it looked like ink could drip from it.
Before he could reprimand Shanrou, he saw Shanrou glaring angrily at Lulu and cursing, "I knew you were indecent, unruly, and immoral! Sure enough, you, a woman, are entangled with three men. You're a complete slut!"
Seeing that she actually had three men backing her up, Shanrou was furious.
Turning around again, she saw Shan Mingyuan standing timidly to the side like a little chick, not even showing any intention of speaking up for her. This made Shan Rou even angrier and more furious!
"You insolent brat! You speak such inappropriate language and call her a slut all the time. Is this how I've always taught you?" Old Master Shan was so angry that his hair stood on end. He rolled up his sleeves and raised his hand to slap Shan Rou hard across the face.
Shanrou covered her burning face, her expression one of astonishment and disbelief.
She stared wide-eyed at Old Master Shan: "Who do you think you are, daring to hit me?"
Shan Rouqi's eyes turned red with anger. She raised her palm, and with a whooshing sound, she was about to strike Old Master Shan.
Just then, Shanxi slowly spoke up: "Little Yellow Flower, don't fight back; I want to see what kind of infamy a rebellious daughter who beats her own father to death will suffer!"
As she spoke, Shanxi slowly turned around and walked towards Lulu, her gaze sharp as a sword: "You didn't talk back when you were insulted? Is this how I've always taught you?"
“After all, she is…” Lulu gritted her teeth, her face full of resentment and indignation, and glared at Shanrou.
If it weren't for the president's sake, she would have already verbally abused this vicious woman until she was completely bewildered and lost her bearings!
Shanrou was still reeling from Shanxi's words, "the rebellious daughter who beat her own father to death." She scrutinized Old Master Shan again and saw that he was wearing her father's clothes and his figure was extremely similar to her father's...
Finally, it was the Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty who came to his senses first, a smile playing on his lips, and stepped forward to smooth things over, saying, "Old Master Shan, could it be that you've taken a youth-preserving pill?"
He originally didn't have much affection for this youth-preserving pill, thinking it was nothing more than a pretty face, a tactic used by women in the harem to compete for favor.
However, upon seeing the current appearance of the old master, the Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty's eyes lit up, and his determination to buy the Youth Preservation Pill became even stronger!
No wonder no one can resist the allure of the Youth Preservation Pill. With such miraculous effects, who wouldn't be tempted and want it?
Upon hearing this, everyone froze, as if they had been frozen in place.
When everyone looked at Old Master Shan again, their eyes subtly changed, filled with surprise and curiosity.
Especially Shan Rou, looking at the old master Shan who was much younger than herself, could hardly believe her eyes. She never dreamed that this would be her own father.
So he wasn't just playing a trick on me; everything he said was true! Is he really my biological father?
"Yes, how about it? Isn't the effect great?" Old Master Shan proudly showed off his work, as if he were showing off a rare treasure.
If the Youth-Preserving Pill weren't so sought after that there was no need for advertising, he would have loved to run around the streets a few times and loudly proclaim to everyone that he had taken the Youth-Preserving Pill and had been able to reverse aging and regain his youth!
"This...this effect is simply beyond description." Shan Mingyuan stared blankly at the old man in front of him, unable to believe what he was seeing and hearing.
Don't say Shanrou didn't believe it, he didn't believe it either!
Shanrou was stunned for a moment before slowly stepping forward and tentatively calling out, "Father?"
"You unfilial daughter!" Old Master Shan glared at her angrily!
He still remembered how Shanrou had just threatened to beat him to death!
It's one thing if others don't recognize you, but your own daughter doesn't recognize you? Where can you go to reason with that?
"This...this...this Youth Preservation Pill is so effective? How come I've never heard of it before?" Shanrou touched her face and suddenly felt an immense longing for the Youth Preservation Pill.
If I had known the Youth Preservation Pill was so effective, why would I bother with any other skincare products? I would have just bought the Youth Preservation Pill directly.
"Heh... The Youth Preservation Pill only works on pills of grade seven and above. On this vast continent, those who can refine grade seven pills are as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns. Do you think it's like a cabbage that can be found everywhere?" Lulu's face was full of displeasure, and her tone was full of sarcasm.
"Alchemists who can refine seventh-grade pills wouldn't bother refining youth-preserving pills. We're too busy refining blood-clotting pills to save our lives, who would bother refining youth-preserving pills!" Xiao Shi chimed in from the side.
If it hadn't been mentioned suddenly last time, he would never have thought of refining a youth-preserving pill.
After all, among all the elixirs, the Youth Preservation Elixir is arguably the least effective.
Alchemists only consider refining herbs when they are short of money and urgently need funds to purchase them.
This has led to an extreme scarcity of youth-preserving pills on the mainland, and their appearance in the market would trigger a frenzy of competition from all sides.
“Miss Lulu, I am truly sincere. As long as you are willing, I will agree to whatever conditions you set.” The Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty bowed to Lulu with a respectful attitude.
We definitely can't count on Shanrou.
However, now that the Shan family has offended the Alchemist Guild, can't I take this opportunity to win over the people of the Alchemist Guild to the Southern Dynasty?
Upon hearing this, Crown Prince Junchao was immediately startled!
Those who can sit on the throne as crown prince are certainly not dull-witted.
The Southern Dynasty Crown Prince's words clearly indicate that he wanted to take advantage of the discord between the Alchemist Guild and the Benevolent Family to try and win over the Alchemist Guild!
The Crown Prince hurriedly stepped forward, intending to interrupt, but saw Lulu give Shanrou a cold, sidelong glance, her tone indifferent yet sharp: "You are a smart person, and I like to deal with smart people."
"If it weren't for Xi'er's sake, would our Alchemist Guild have given your Shan family such face?"
"They are truly shameless to the extreme, able to pat themselves on the back for everything they do."
After Lulu finished her taunts, before Shanrou could retort angrily, she turned her gaze to the Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty and asked, "What sincerity are you going to offer?"
Lulu's tone and attitude clearly indicated that she was already prepared to cooperate with the Southern Dynasty.
Upon hearing this, the crown prince's expression instantly turned even more unpleasant.
He glared fiercely at Shanrou, secretly annoyed. He hadn't expected that his attempt to help the Crown Prince of the Southern Dynasty and earn his gratitude would backfire so badly.
No one would be foolish enough to offend an alchemist, especially one from the Alchemist Guild.
That's a being that commands respect throughout the entire continent!
Shanrou... she really is "well done"!
