147 Bottled, Too?
The rich energy within the spirit milk was quickly refined by the three Extreme Flames within Yan Zhen’s body, slightly alleviating his intense hunger.
Although it wasn’t enough to fill his stomach, he was at least more alert now.
He looked up and saw that the partition was gone, the bathtub drained, and Clan Head Yu Lu’s naked body was on full display.
Her dark blue hair was loose, cascading down her back as she leaned against the other end of the tub, her arms covering her ample breasts, her legs curled up tightly, a defensive posture.
A slightly surprised expression softened her usually cold and indifferent face, her deep blue eyes, so similar to Instructor Yu Xuan’s, clearly reflecting Yan Zhen’s image.
Normally, Yan Zhen would have quickly looked away, but he was starving, his stomach growling. Seeing the “nutritious liquid” seeping from between the Clan Head’s fingers, he couldn’t help but swallow hard.
“Gulp.”
The sound, though soft, was clearly heard by both the Clan Head and Aunt Head Instructor, their expressions changing slightly.
As the saying goes, extreme anger turns one into a sliding attacker, while extreme hunger turns one into a ravenous beast.
“Son-in-law Yan Zhen, you—”
“Yan Zhen!”
They both exclaimed simultaneously, their voices tinged with a hint of fear, though their intentions differed.
Aunt Head Instructor, worried about her sister-in-law’s anger, was reprimanding Yan Zhen for his disrespect.
Clan Head Mother-in-law, however, was worried about Yan Zhen losing control and acting impulsively.
But their worries were unfounded.
Yan Zhen wasn’t about to lose control. He was simply starving, and the… liquid looked so tempting, especially after having just tasted it. Although slightly inferior to Beautiful Master’s, it was still sweet and delicious. So, he couldn’t help but react instinctively.
“Sorry, Mother-in-law, I was… disrespectful…” Yan Zhen said weakly. “Aunt, do you have any blood-replenishing pills? If not, energy-replenishing pills are also fine.”
Shui Bailan nodded repeatedly. “Yes, yes, I have some.”
She took out two small red bottles of pills from her storage ring and tossed them to Yan Zhen.
Yan Zhen caught them, opened the bottles, and poured the red pills into his mouth.
Shui Bailan didn’t cultivate her physique and only took blood-replenishing pills during her… menstrual cycle. These were Tier 3 Mystic Pills, insufficient for Yan Zhen’s needs.
After swallowing both bottles, his hunger was slightly alleviated, but still far from satisfied. He looked at the two beautiful elders, swallowed hard again, and blinked innocently, his meaning clear.
—Do you have more?
Shui Bailan smiled wryly.
“I’m out of blood-replenishing pills. And I only carry energy-replenishing pills when I’m on missions.”
Clan Head Yu Lu also felt a headache coming on, then said, “I have some. Turn around, and I’ll get them for you.”
Yan Zhen obediently turned his back to her. A moment later, a small bottle was tossed towards him. He caught it, opened it without hesitation, and was about to pour the contents into his mouth.
“Wait, that’s not it!”
“Huh?”
Yan Zhen turned around instinctively and saw Clan Head Yu Lu, one hand covering her chest, the other outstretched, as if to stop him from eating the pills—wait a minute…
What he had poured into his mouth wasn’t a pill, but a slightly thick, milky-white liquid, smooth and fragrant, with a distinct… milky taste.
He had just tasted this.
Yan Zhen quickly drank the precious liquid, looked down at the small bottle in his hand, sniffed it, and realized what it was, then looked at Clan Head Yu Lu, puzzled.
—Besides the original… packaging, there’s also a bottled version?
Under the strange gazes of her son-in-law and sister-in-law, even Clan Head Yu Lu, with her usual composure, couldn’t help but blush, her face burning.
“…Th-that’s… made from Hundred Beasts Milk. A… tonic.”
Yan Zhen blinked, then, understanding, nodded repeatedly. “I see. It tastes quite good, and the energy is also very potent. A good thing, hehe.”
“Son-in-law Yan Zhen, you should leave now.”
“Oh, okay, Mother-in-law.”
Yan Zhen quickly stood up, then realized that his elephant-print boxer briefs had somehow disappeared. He hurriedly covered himself.
Both Clan Head Mother-in-law and Aunt Head Instructor quickly turned away, but they had already seen his… aroused state earlier and weren’t particularly shocked.
Yan Zhen, relieved, quickly got out of the tub, retrieved a new pair of elephant-print boxer briefs from his storage ring, put them on, and then grabbed his clothes from the rack.
“Then, Mother-in-law, Aunt, I’ll be going.”
Without waiting for their reply, Yan Zhen quickly left.
If he stayed any longer, he was afraid Mother-in-law Clan Head would gouge his eyes out.
As Yan Zhen left the bathroom, Instructor Yu Xuan, Grand Elder Great Aunt, and Younger Aunt Dean, waiting outside, immediately approached him.
“Yan Zhen? Why did you come out? How is Mother’s condition?”
“Uh, there was a slight… incident.”
“What incident? Are you alright?”
“I’m fine. I… advanced in my physique during the cultivation, so it ended early.”
“Did you reach the Complete Minor Achievement realm? That’s even higher than your Mystic Power cultivation, Little Yan Zhen.”
“Then how is Second Sister?”
“Mother-in-law is still inside, but it’s best not to disturb her for now.”
“Did you… see something you shouldn’t have and anger Second Sister?”
“…”
Yan Zhen, feeling guilty, remained silent.
Younger Aunt Dean, who had been about to tease him, suddenly felt a chill, her eyes widening in disbelief. “Wait, you brat, don’t tell me you actually—”
“—Nothing happened,” Shui Bailan emerged from the bathroom, interrupting her and smoothing things over. “Yan Zhen’s breakthrough shattered the partition, startling Sister-in-law. He’s just feeling guilty about that.”
She walked over to Yan Zhen, patted his head, and said gently, “Don’t worry, Yan Zhen, Sister-in-law isn’t blaming you.”
Yan Zhen breathed a sigh of relief.
“Thank you, Aunt.”
Younger Aunt Dean, Grand Elder Great Aunt, and Instructor Yu Xuan also relaxed.
Although the Yu family’s rules were different, a son-in-law and mother-in-law still shouldn’t… ahem.
A moment later, Clan Head Mother-in-law, fully dressed, emerged from the bathroom. Younger Aunt Dean asked, surprised, “Second Sister, are you alright now?”
“It was just a minor issue. What could possibly be wrong with me?” Clan Head Yu Lu’s face returned to its usual indifference. “Son-in-law Yan Zhen just had a breakthrough in his physique and needs to replenish his energy and stabilize his realm. Let’s go back and have a simple meal. We can continue the co-cultivation later.”
Clan Head Mother-in-law led the way, and the others quickly followed.
Yan Zhen ate ravenously, ignoring table manners, practically shoving food into his mouth.
After the meal, he patted his full belly and leaned against Instructor Yu Xuan lazily.
So full, so comfortable~
Then, Clan Head Mother-in-law suddenly said, “Son-in-law Yan Zhen, come with me.”
