Return of the King, Dominating the City-Chapter 1621 - 1515: A Woman’s Treasure

Song Yun had tried to stop her for a long time, but still couldn’t hold Xiao Qing’s hand. Now, seeing her crying, he smiled wryly and said, "Why are you crying?"

"Yeah. Why am I crying? I had already prepared myself mentally, yet I still had vain hopes," Xiao Qing wiped her tears and said softly.

"Who said it was a vain hope?" Song Yun made a funny face with a smile.

"Not a vain hope? You mean?" Xiao Qing saw Song Yun nodding, immediately ran to the mirror, looked at herself, and cried again.

Song Yun was puzzled. He ran up and held her shoulder, asking, "Why are you crying again?"

Xiao Qing suddenly turned around, plunged herself into Song Yun’s arms, wrapped her arms around his waist, and cried silently.

"It’s okay now. You’re even more beautiful than before." Song Yun patted Xiao Qing’s back and said gently.

"Yeah. I thought it could never be good again... I thought it could never be good again... Thank you, really, thank you." Xiao Qing said, crying, and her tears soaked into Song Yun’s coat, leaving a wet patch.

"Silly girl. Because you are my woman, that’s why I must help you. Otherwise, I wouldn’t care about you. Besides, having a beauty by my side is so nice, if it were an ugly person, it would be unappetizing to look at."

Now that Xiao Qing’s face was healed, Song Yun dared to make some jokes like this. When she was injured, he wouldn’t have dared to say such things to save his life.

Xiao Qing smiled shyly. She turned back to the mirror again to look at her face. Since she got injured, she had refused to look in the mirror. After returning from that strange old man, she had a strong urge to look in the mirror every day, but she held back. She told herself that when she washed away the black stuff on her face one day, her face would be as good as new. She didn’t expect that day to really come.

"By the way, the old man also gave you a bottle of medicine in the end, remember to apply it." Song Yun reminded with a smile.

"Okay." Xiao Qing nodded, took the small black bottle from the table, and handed it to Song Yun.

Song Yun took it with a frown. Damn, everything that old man had was dirty, just like him. The scalpel was black, the medicine was black, and even this bottle was black; I guess his heart is black too. The bottle was quite ordinary, very light, smooth on the outside; when the stopper was opened, there was half a bottle of liquid inside. He sniffed it, it had no scent. On the bottle, there were three ancient characters: "First-class Hall."

"It seems like water?" Song Yun said doubtfully. Could this old man be a fraud? Claiming it’s the only bottle in the world, colorless and tasteless, did he fill it up somewhere?

"What are you guys looking at?" Lin Zhao Yun stood at the door with a smile. When her eyes landed on Xiao Qing’s face, they opened wide in surprise, and her mouth dropped open in an O-shape as she exclaimed, "Your face!?"

Xiao Qing pursed her lips, smiling, and nodded.

Lin Zhao Yun ran over to Xiao Qing, looked left and right, then circled around her twice, gently touched the skin on Xiao Qing’s face, and screamed again, "Oh my gosh. It’s amazing. That strange person is really incredible. How did he do it? Not a single scar, the skin is all new, although the skin color is slightly different from the right side, but after some adaptation period, the skin color will gradually become normal. It’s so amazing, I want to apprentice under him."

Lin Zhao Yun studied medicine and was eager to learn. How could she not be tempted by such amazing techniques in the world?

"You want to apprentice under him? What about your master?" Song Yun teased with a smile.

"Hmph, my master is not as skilled as him. I’ll leave him." Lin Zhao Yun finished speaking and found it amusing, so she chuckled, her smile was like a flower. However, her complexion was a bit pale. "Actually, my master also went to him, wanting to discuss medical issues, but he ignored my master. Then my master tried to apprentice under him and was also rejected. In the end, whenever he mentions that strange person, he gets angry and bans anyone from bringing it up."

"Did that really happen?" Song Yun laughed heartily. He didn’t expect that after he left, so many interesting things had happened in the sect. Seeing Senior Sister Zhaoyun’s happy demeanor, Song Yun felt a pang in his heart, restrained his smile, and softly asked, "Senior Sister, why don’t you seek treatment from him for your illness?"

The smile on Lin Zhao Yun’s face froze too. She shook her head and smiled bitterly, "He’s not a god; it’s impossible for him to cure everyone’s illness. Unfortunately, mine is beyond his ability."

"How do you know if you don’t try?" Song Yun asked anxiously.

"I’ve already tried. If it could be eradicated, it would have been long ago. I’m alive today thanks to him and my master." Lin Zhao Yun waved her hand with a smile. "Forget it, let’s not talk about this. Today is a good day for Xiaoqing. We should be happy. By the way, what were you guys holding and examining just now?"

Seeing that she didn’t want to continue discussing the topic, Song Yun knew it was inappropriate to pursue further. He planned to have a good talk with her master before he left and, after going out, help her seek renowned doctors or see if modern medicine could solve the problem. Song Yun handed over the small black bottle with a smile, saying, "Just a bottle of colorless and tasteless water."

Lin Zhao Yun took it with a smile, looked at the three characters on the outside, and was stunned for a moment. Then she opened the stopper, sniffed the smell, and said with a smile, "Do you think this is colorless and tasteless water?"

"Isn’t it?" Song Yun asked puzzled.

"Then give it to me." Lin Zhao Yun said with a smile.

"I can give it to you, but what is it? That strange old man gave it, and he said there is no other bottle like this in the world," Song Yun asked curiously. Anything that attracted Senior Sister Zhaoyun’s interest was definitely not ordinary. The sect had plenty of common medicines.

Lin Zhao Yun nodded with a smile, "I thought so; only he would have such a thing in the world. This is from First-class Hall; indeed, there is only one bottle in the world. Xiaoqing, can you give me two drops? I only need two drops."

Lin Zhao Yun turned her face and looked at Xiao Qing with a heartfelt plea.

"Hehe, you can’t just use this casually. It’s too precious. Just two drops are enough; apply one drop on each side of the face, and then let it seep into the skin by itself."

"What does this do?" Xiao Qing became curious about the item too.

"It can let your facial skin cells regenerate continuously."

"Go on," Song Yun urged anxiously.

"Hehe." Lin Zhao Yun chuckled, gave Song Yun a sideways glance, and said, "You can’t use it, why are you in such a hurry?"

"But I’m curious. Sister Zhaoyun, just tell us quickly, what on earth can this do?"

"It’s a treasure for women; it can let them retain eternal youth," Lin Zhao Yun said with a glowing face. Aging is a woman’s greatest adversary, and if there’s something that can preserve youth and beauty, how can it not make one’s heart throb?

"Really? Does it have such effects?" Song Yun was skeptical. 𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

"Believe it or not. Didn’t I tell you before? I had nothing much to do in the past few years, so I was always studying some medicinal books in the sect. I only heard about this thing too, recorded in , you can check it yourself. "

"Why did the old man tell Xiao Qing to apply two drops each day?" Song Yun asked doubtfully.

"Who knows. He is a strange person; I can’t understand his thoughts. You all don’t believe me, forget it. I only need two drops. Anyway, I believe it." Lin Zhao Yun said, opening the stopper, applied one drop on one side of her face in front of a mirror, and then tilted her head, waiting for it to seep in. Xiao Qing looked at Song Yun with a smile, followed suit, and applied two drops to her face. Song Yun thought for a moment, and taking advantage of their inattention, tucked the whole bottle into his pocket.

When the liquid on their faces had fully seeped in, they looked in the mirror, and indeed, there were some changes in their skin. It felt tighter and whiter than before. Especially Xiao Qing; though the scars were gone on her injured left face, the newly-grown skin still had a different color compared to the right side of her face. However, after applying this "First-class Hall," both sides of the face started to gradually match. The effect was amazing.
