Chapter 401 Handsome Man

Mo Jiuwei noticed that Master Hong was hesitant to speak, but she just smiled and said, "Hurry up and go over there, they are still waiting."

After saying that, he opened the door to the alchemy room and walked out.

However, although her back view looked dashing, Mo Jiuwei's brows were actually furrowed.

What a heavy door!

She used almost all her strength to open the door, nearly collapsing from exhaustion, but thinking of Master Hongdan watching from behind, she felt she couldn't lose face no matter what, so she opened it with a burst of effort.

But now her hand was a little numb and painful. She shook it secretly and then met the expectant faces of the three members of the Hu family.

"The pill is ready." Mo Jiuwei forced a smile and hid her hands behind her back.

"Really? That's wonderful!" Ren Ruojiu breathed a sigh of relief, almost bursting into tears of joy.

"I have accomplished my mission. Please give this medicine to your son quickly. We will stay here and observe its effects." Master Hong Dan then came out, handed over the medicine, and said.

"Thank you very much, Master Hongdan! You two have worked hard. Please sit down and have some tea," Hu Li'an said hurriedly.

The two sat down, and Mo Jiuwei, who was genuinely hungry, unceremoniously reached for the pastries on the table to eat.

But after taking only one bite, she silently put the pastry into her immortal abode and took out the snacks that Tuanzi had made for her.

Alas, having grown accustomed to the delicious food prepared by the maids, I find it impossible to stomach ordinary pastries anymore.

It hasn't been that long, and it's already hard to go from extravagance to frugality.

Mo Jiuwei reflected on her actions briefly, but that was all; she had no intention of changing anything.

She's here to enjoy life, so what's wrong with eating some good snacks and being a little picky about food?
She deserves it!

While she was eating, Hu Xiuzheng was taking deep breaths.

He had been eagerly anticipating the successful refinement of the elixir, but now that it was finally complete, he began to feel nervous as he held it in his hands.

"Um, will this kill me? Will it really change my appearance if I eat it? Oh, what if I become even uglier after eating it?"

He was muttering to himself, looking flustered.

"What are you afraid of? With Master Hong Dan here, how could we just stand by and watch you get hurt? Just eat. With my and your mother's foundation, you won't be uglier than you are now, no matter how ugly you get. What's so scary about that?" Hu Lian slapped him on the back.

Hu Xiu grimaced in pain, but he gritted his teeth and swallowed the pill.

Soon, his face contorted in pain.

He groaned as he gripped the armrests of the chair, arching his body like a shrimp until he squatted down on the ground.

"What's wrong? Does it hurt a lot?"

Ren Ruojiu was extremely worried.

"It's just a little pain, don't worry."

Mo Jiuwei said while eating, "Just bear with it for a quarter of an hour."

"A quarter of an hour?" Ren Ruojiu's heart skipped a beat. "Son, bear with it. Although it takes a bit long... it'll definitely be worth it!"

He thought the pain would only last a moment, but it actually lasted for a quarter of an hour? Hu Xiu was in pain and panicked, but he didn't have the strength to think about it anymore. He squatted on the ground, curled up in a ball, trembling uncontrollably. Large beads of sweat kept falling from his face, dripping into a puddle at his feet.

Ren Ruojiu felt sorry for her son and asked someone to bring her a handkerchief to wipe his wounds. She then asked Master Hong with concern, "Master Hong, Xiu'er seems to be in a lot of pain. Is this normal?"

"This should be fine, let's wait and see," Master Hong Dan said somewhat uncertainly after observing for a while.

He was ashamed after saying that, because it seemed very irresponsible and unprofessional.

He couldn't help but look at Mo Jiuwei beside him, and then he found that she didn't seem worried at all and was eating happily.

For some reason, Master Hong Dan also relaxed.

Judging from Mo Jiuwei's condition, it seems that Hu Xiu is truly alright.

For a quarter of an hour, Hu Xiu remained squatting on the ground with his forehead pressed against his knees.

At first, all the people could see was his trembling body and hear his painful moans, but gradually, his movements became quieter and quieter.

"Son, how are you? Does it hurt less?" Ren Ruojiu nudged him, but Hu Xiu was already in so much pain that he collapsed to the ground when she pushed him!
Seeing this, Hu Li'an called out his name and went forward to help him up, but when he saw Hu Xiu's face, he was stunned and froze.

Ren Ruojiu walked over, puzzled, and at that moment she saw her son's face clearly—

"Ah! Son!"

She couldn't help but exclaim, her eyes filled with joy, "You've become more beautiful! That's wonderful, you did it!"

Hu Xiu's eyes lit up immediately. "Really? Quick, give me a mirror!"

His legs went weak and he couldn't move for the time being, but he could still move his hands, so he reached out to ask for a mirror.

After getting the mirror and seeing the person in it, he burst into laughter like a madman.

Mo Jiuwei popped the fruit into her mouth, glanced at Hu Xiu's face, and nodded, "I must say, the Hu family members are all good-looking."

Hu Xiuzhen's face actually resembled his mother, Ren Ruojiu, with a beauty that was hard to tell if he was male or female. He was a handsome man!

Hu Xiu was so happy he almost fainted. He hugged the mirror and grinned foolishly, "So this is what I look like! Hahaha, I knew it! How could I possibly have that ugly face from before? Heaven really did me a disservice! I'm so beautiful, I'm so incredibly beautiful, hahaha! What's all this talk about beauties? None of them are as beautiful as me, hahaha..."

Ren Ruojiu was quite happy at first. Her ugly son was finally not ugly anymore. She could show him off with face, right?
Jie Li quickly witnessed her son's foolish act, which made her unable to bear watching and she patted him, "Alright, restrain yourself, hurry up and thank Master Hong Dan, and your sister Mo!"

After being reminded, Hu Xiu realized that there were other people present. He blushed when he thought about what he had just done and quickly put the mirror away.

With his father's help, he stood up and solemnly bowed to Master Hong and Mo Jiuwei, "Thank you both for your help, Hu Xiu is extremely grateful!"

Master Hong touched his nose, feeling unworthy of the honor.

Although he did indeed refine the pill, he felt that he had only been "borrowed" by someone else. The pill formula belonged to Mo Jiuwei, and even the pill-refining techniques were taught to him by her.

"You're welcome. I wasn't much of a help. If it weren't for Fellow Daoist Mo's pill formula, I wouldn't have been of any use." He declined, saying, "You should thank Fellow Daoist Mo instead."

From a little girl at the beginning to the young Daoist Mo he is now, it is clear how much importance Mo Jiuwei has placed on him.

"Yes, Jiuwei wants to thank you, and Master Hong Dan also wants to thank you. You two have really helped a lot, so we must accept this small token of our gratitude."

Hu Li'an took out two boxes and handed them to the two men respectively.
