The Happy Farmer Wanderer

"It’s not about lying, it’s just that the effects might not be that strong," Li Qing said.

He still trusted his thrifty master.

He opened the lid of Xiao Ding and poured out its contents.

There were a total of four glowing, translucent little pills, resembling crystal beads, soft to the touch.

"Why does this thing look so weird?" Wu Xingxing asked curiously.

She was so focused that she didn’t notice the blanket slipping off her.

Two delicate, plump and tender mounds were especially enticing to look at.

Li Qing only took a glance and immediately found his breathing somewhat labored.

His hand, seemingly beyond his control, stretched out and grasped one of them.

Small and cute as it was, it was remarkably resilient.

"Ah!"

Wu Xingxing let out an exclamation, hastily glancing at Li Qing, her cheeks instantly flushed through.

"I was just feeling..." Li Qing stammered.

"It’s okay, I... I..." Wu Xingxing kept pursing her lips, hesitantly saying, "I’m prepared today."

"You, you can do whatever you want."

At that moment, Li Qing really wanted to slap himself.

How could he not control himself!

Now, not only had he failed to divert his attention, but he had also straightforwardly made a move.

"Let’s take a look at this first," Li Qing forcibly changed the subject, "Do you want to try one first?"

"It’s not poisonous, is it?" Wu Xingxing asked shyly, her face still red.

That question really stumped Li Qing.

The elixir given by the old Taoist shouldn’t be poisonous, should it?

"Hold on, I’ll ask," Li Qing said, taking out his phone.

To save himself from the inner turmoil over whether to make a move on Wu Xingxing or not.

He didn’t care if the old Taoist was resting at this hour and decided to call him first.

Presumably, his thrifty master, who had deliberately tricked him several times, wouldn’t mind him occasionally disturbing late into the night.

This time, not only did the old Taoist answer the call, but he did so remarkably quickly.

"My dear disciple, why are you calling your master? Have you started your cultivation that you can’t wait any longer?"

"Master, the Xiao Ding you gave has produced elixirs, how should I eat them? Is there anything special about it?" Li Qing hurriedly asked.

"You scoundrel, disturbing your master in the middle of the night for such a trivial matter, you deserve a beating!" the old Taoist scolded discontentedly, "How else, naturally just pop it into your mouth and swallow."

"It shouldn’t be poisonous, right? They look a bit strange, like crystal balls," Li Qing said.

"It won’t kill you, go ahead and eat with confidence, an elixir completely refined from spiritual energy, it’s not strange at all for it to look like that," the old Taoist said irritably, "That’s a really good thing, almost a top-grade elixir."

"I feel like cursing Li Yuanxian, that scoundrel, he’s completely wasting it!"

"Such a powerful tool, and he’s using it to make Immortality Elixir!"

Seeing the old Taoist about to start his never-ending tirade of complaints, Li Qing quickly interjected, "Master, since it’s not poisonous, then I can rest assured. I’ll try the elixir to see if it has any effect, and I’ll bring a few to you another day."

"Go away, your master doesn’t need any beauty treatment!" the old Taoist cursed, "Hanging up!"

After hanging up the phone, Li Qing pinched one of the elixirs and said to Wu Xingxing, "It’s confirmed non-toxic, dare you eat it?"

Wu Xingxing opened her delicate and rosy mouth, directly swallowing the elixir.

"I just heard it, your master said it’s a good thing, so I have nothing to be afraid of," Wu Xingxing said with a charming smile, and then curiously asked, "Qingzi, when did you get a master?"

"That’s a long story, my master is an unconventional old Taoist, but a good person, he taught me cultivation," Li Qing said truthfully, "Although it sounds a bit supernatural, it’s actually true."

"Qingzi, are you going to be a Daoist from now on? Does that mean you can’t... can’t..." Wu Xingxing asked nervously.

"Not at all, I am a secular disciple!" Li Qing said, "I will remain the same as I was before."

"I see." Wu Xingxing visibly sighed with relief.

"How do you feel?" Li Qing pressed.

"I... don’t seem to feel anything." Wu Xingxing seriously considered for a moment before answering.

"It might take some time, lie down and let the medicine disperse." Li Qing released the hand that was grasping those delicate little peaks and said.

This was an excuse he had thought of the moment he opened Xiao Ding.

Whether there was a change or not, he needed Wu Xingxing to believe that after eating the medicine, it was necessary to rest well for the night.

If he continued to touch her, Li Qing felt he would almost be unable to restrain himself.

"Does that mean we can’t... tonight?" Wu Xingxing looked up shyly and asked.

"We’re not in a rush for this single night, but the medicine has a time limit," Li Qing began his earnest slew of nonsense.

"Oh..." Wu Xingxing obediently lay down, "My face feels so hot, it’s like there are lots of bugs crawling on it."

"You don’t feel any discomfort, do you?" Li Qing asked with some concern.

Wu Xingxing shook her head.

Li Qing watched Wu Xingxing’s expression intently, his pupils gradually widening.

"Xingxing, your face seems even more delicate and fair."

"Really?" Wu Xingxing asked, surprised and delighted.

Li Qing nodded vigorously.

The Elixir indeed appeared to be effective, and perhaps somewhat potent.

Changes had become visibly apparent almost instantly.

Wu Xingxing’s face was already delicate, but now it was utterly radiant, fair with a healthy blush and tender with a touch of youthfulness.

"I want to see." Wu Xingxing got up and ran to the mirror in front of the closet.

"Is... is this me?!"

She looked at her reflection in shock, "Even my skin has become fairer, so tender."

Li Qing stared at Wu Xingxing’s figure, swallowing quietly.

Today really had been a tremendous ordeal for him!

Why couldn’t this girl wear a bit more clothes?

Those long white legs, that pert little behind, that slim waist...

Although Wu Xingxing was thin and delicate, she had everything that one would desire, albeit in a petite form.

"Xingxing, you should really get back into bed or put on some clothes. Like this, you’re putting me to a severe test," Li Qing reminded helplessly, "If you stand there any longer, I might turn into a big bad wolf."

Wu Xingxing, who had been closely examining her changes in the mirror, suddenly blushed deeply.

She swiftly ran to the bed and wrapped herself tightly with the blanket, whispering softly, "So tonight is really... out of the question?"

Li Qing nodded.

"Then I’ll... go sleep in my room, and we’ll see tomorrow," Wu Xingxing said with a bashful voice.

"Can you... touch me again?"

This suggestion was really too much for Li Qing to refuse.

"Even if I can’t have a taste, I should at least get a little something for my hands," Li Qing said with a mischievous smile.

"Tomorrow, I’ll let you eat," Wu Xingxing replied coyly, "just wait one night."

Li Qing instantly regretted speaking up.
