After taking the longevity pill, Lu Yuan sat quietly, sensing the possible changes within his body. However, after a while, he didn't feel any particular discomfort or abnormality.
Qian Duoduo, standing to the side, kept her eyes glued to Lu Yuan, trying to catch the slightest hint of something amiss in his expression and actions, but to her great disappointment.
Lu Yuan looked at Qian Duoduo with a puzzled expression, as if asking why this was happening. Unable to contain her curiosity, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but ask, "You really don't feel anything at all?"
Lu Yuan gently shook his head, indicating that this was indeed the case. This made Qian Duoduo even more puzzled. She began to ponder, muttering to herself, "Could it be that the medicine hasn't taken effect yet? Or is this longevity pill simply useless?"
Thinking of this, Qian Duoduo looked up at Lu Yuan again and said, "Could it be that the time hasn't come yet? Maybe we'll have to wait a while before we can feel its effects."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yuan was slightly taken aback at first, then nodded thoughtfully and replied, "Perhaps, then let's wait and see." And so, the two sat silently, like two wooden or clay sculptures, neither speaking, but patiently waiting.
Time passed slowly, and the surroundings gradually quieted down. Qian Duoduo looked out the window and realized that it had gotten dark without her noticing. She sighed helplessly, stood up, and said to Lu Yuan, "I'll go make dinner. Let's fill our stomachs first."
Lu Yuan nodded, agreeing to Qian Duoduo's suggestion. At this moment, he couldn't help but wonder why the so-called longevity pill hadn't had any effect on him. Once this thought crossed his mind, he couldn't look away; it was all he could think about!
After dinner, Qian Duoduo helped Lu Yuan, who was walking slowly, to sit on the bed. Just then, Lu Yuan's restless hand caught her and precisely wrapped around Qian Duoduo's slender waist. With a little effort, the two of them fell onto the soft bed.
Qian Duoduo playfully patted him lightly and said softly, "You're not fully recovered yet, don't be so indecent!"
Lu Yuan looked at her pitifully with a wronged expression, and pouted, saying, "I really feel much better!"
Hearing this, Qian Duoduo raised her eyebrows, widened her beautiful eyes, glared at him fiercely, and said sternly, "Being much better is no good! Do you want to risk your life? If you continue to disregard your health like this, do you want to see me going to square dancing with other old men in the future?" These words were like a bucket of cold water poured over Lu Yuan's head, instantly sobering him up.
Lu Yuan suddenly sat up, his movements as swift as a cheetah. Then, with a deft flip, he pinned Qian Duoduo beneath him. His face contorted with rage, Lu Yuan gritted his teeth and said, "You heartless woman! I've worked so hard, even risked my life, and you expect me to just watch you dance with some old man!" Before he finished speaking, he lowered his head and bit Qian Duoduo's fair, delicate neck hard.
Qian Duoduo felt a slight pain in her neck, but this long-awaited intimate contact was like an electric current running through her body, making her originally calm heart suddenly become excited.
After washing up, the two slowly climbed into bed, embracing tightly, and soon drifted off to sleep. However, just as they were sound asleep, Lu Yuan suddenly felt an unusual heat rising within him, as if a flame were burning inside him. This burning sensation gradually intensified, causing him to involuntarily let out a low groan.
The groan, though faint, was like a thunderclap to Qian Duoduo, who had been a light sleeper lately, instantly waking her from her slumber. She opened her eyes abruptly and immediately noticed the unusual heat emanating from Lu Yuan beside her. Normally, Lu Yuan's body shouldn't be so hot. Recalling the strange phenomena that had occurred after Lu Yuan took the Soul-Replenishing Pill, Qian Duoduo felt a pang of worry and didn't know what to do.
In the unlit room, Qian Duoduo vaguely saw that Lu Yuan's body was emitting a faint, shimmering white light. This light was not ordinary; it was a pure, pristine white. At the same time, Lu Yuan felt his mind being filled with a white light, flickering and leaping constantly. Strangely, with the flickering of this light, he could clearly feel a powerful force slowly flowing into his body. His previously slightly tired limbs gradually became full of vitality and stronger.
This feeling of being filled with power captivated Lu Yuan, leaving him completely absorbed. He fully enjoyed the pleasure and comfort brought by this unprecedented sense of power; the exhilarating feeling was indescribable, and he could only exclaim, "This is so great!" At this moment, Lu Yuan finally realized that this was the miraculous effect of the mysterious longevity pill. This wonderful experience filled him with anticipation and confidence for the future.
Meanwhile, Qian Duoduo, sitting to the side, witnessed an even more significant and astonishing change. Lu Yuan's once-white hair, caused by excessive use of his time-manipulation ability, was visibly turning black again, as if time had reversed. Furthermore, the fine lines that had crept onto his face were gently smoothed away by an invisible hand, and his skin regained its youthful elasticity and radiance.
Faced with such a miraculous sight, Qian Duoduo couldn't help but marvel inwardly. She thought to herself, "Truly worthy of being called the world-renowned Emperor Han Dan! Such superb alchemy skills are truly unparalleled and awe-inspiring!"
This strange situation lasted for almost an hour. Finally, after the last glimmer of white light completely dissipated, Qian Duoduo eagerly reached out and tightly grasped Lu Yuan's hand. To her delight, she found that the temperature of Lu Yuan's hand had returned to normal.
At the same time, Lu Yuan slowly awoke from the strange sensation he had just experienced. He first squinted slightly to adjust to the surrounding light before slowly opening his eyes. When he saw that the person sitting in front of him was Qian Duoduo, a bright smile immediately bloomed on his face, and he said softly, "Wife, you are truly amazing as an alchemist! If it weren't for your miraculous elixirs, I'm afraid it would have taken me a long time to recover."
