Chapter 1474 1469: Potential Herbal Tea [First Update]
Su Chen left the Lin family with the 'Blood Blade', but left Lin Xi behind. At this point, Su Chen couldn't quite determine whether Lin Xi's condition was good or bad; the existence of the Divine Stone placed Su Chen in a state of 'blissful distress'.A Prison King from Purgatory had fallen in Huaxia, so presumably, Su Chen wouldn't experience further disturbances from Purgatory in the near future.
However, one couldn't apply normal human logic to those lunatics from Purgatory. If the news that only three of the four Prison Kings remained were to spread, it might also strike a blow to Purgatory itself.
The issue of Purgatory, of course, wasn't Su Chen's primary concern at this moment. Presently, the matters concerning the 'Blood Blade' and the people like old man Lin were what Su Chen needed to deal with.
He himself had fused with the power of the 'Black Stone', gaining unimaginable abilities. Now, it seemed Lin Xi also possessed a similar Divine Stone on her, although it was yet unclear which Divine Stone Lin Xi had obtained.
But from the slight abilities she showcased, one could glimpse that it was definitely not trash.
After all, it could bind a powerhouse of Su Chen's level. For now, it could be classified as a binding type of 'superpower', but clearly, this wasn't its full scope.
Just like after Su Chen acquired the Black Stone, not only did he gain an Undying Body, but even the effect of blood had unexpected changes.
After departing the Lin family, Su Chen contacted Gu Niwei'er.
As soon as Gu Niwei'er appeared in her casual attire, she gave Su Chen a sidelong glance, "So, do you still need money?"
"No need anymore, but I'm afraid it might take a while to repay the money I borrowed from you." Su Chen said.
Gu Niwei'er couldn't help but give Su Chen another sidelong look, "Who asked you to repay? But since you can't return the money, you'll have to offer yourself as collateral."
Su Chen: "..."
In the castle, after several rounds of passion, Su Chen took out the 'Blood Blade', "This short sword should be an ancient weapon, carrying a special power on it, but I attempted to unlock it and couldn't. Do you know where Wendi is now?"
"Hmph, I knew you wouldn't come without a reason. Let's go."
In a flash, Su Chen and Gu Niwei'er found themselves in a courtyard filled with the sound of birds and fragrance of flowers.
However, this time, Gu Niwei'er didn't directly take Su Chen inside.
"Ding dong." Gu Niwei'er knocked on the doorbell of the courtyard as if it were nothing unusual.
"Hehe, let me see who has come." As the door swung open, Su Chen's eyes widened immediately.
Is this really Wendi?
The flamboyant woman standing at the door made Su Chen barely believe his eyes; this was simply too eye-catching!
However, one had to admit, Wendi indeed looked more feminine after such a makeover.
"Oh, my dear Gu Niwei'er, let me see who you've brought me this time. Is he your man? Have you come to your senses, darling?" Seeing Su Chen behind Gu Niwei'er, Wendi's eyes lit up.
Being stared at by her peculiar gaze, Su Chen couldn't help but feel a bit anxious, as if being eyed by a ravenous wolf spotting its prey.
Upon hearing this, Gu Niwei'er's face changed slightly, she quietly stepped forward, shielding Su Chen behind her, and affectionately said to Wendi, "My dear sister, is there nothing else in your head besides such things? I was just worried you might be bored alone, so I came to see you. Is that not acceptable?"
Confronted with Gu Niwei'er's affectionate gesture, an unusual expression of disdain appeared on Wendi's face: "Stay away from me, you little fox. Hmph, tell me, what brings you here this time? I don't believe you came just to see me out of the goodness of your heart."
"Well, there's indeed something else besides seeing you, but I'm not sure if it's convenient for you?"
"Will you leave if it's not convenient? Come in." For some reason, Su Chen felt the current Wendi seemed quite different from before, whether in his perception or otherwise. Hmm, she seemed more womanly?
Gu Niwei'er and Su Chen followed Wendi into her laboratory.
There weren't too many jars and bottles, but there were many instruments that Su Chen had never seen before.
"Be careful, my dear, and sit here." Wendi casually tidied up her things.
While Su Chen and Gu Niwei'er sat in her reception room, Wendi personally prepared some tea and refreshments for them.
"Try my latest experimental tea for unlocking potential."
Initially, Gu Niwei'er's hand had touched the edge of the teacup, but upon hearing Wendi's words, she involuntarily drew back her hand.
The things Wendi gives can't be eaten carelessly...
"Hehe..." Gu Niwei'er let out a dry laugh and sat there honestly.
However, Su Chen curiously picked up a cup of tea, swallowing it all under Wendi's expectant gaze.
"Tastes pretty good." Su Chen smacked his lips, savoring it.
The taste was mildly sweet, with a sweet and fragrant tea aroma, a slightly cool sensation down the throat, just like its name 'cool tea'.
There seemed to be a hint of mint?
Su Chen felt a slight chill, a somewhat... cool itch in his throat?
The 'cool tea for unlocking potential' took no more than twenty seconds to consume.
Su Chen focused on the aftertaste of the 'cool tea for unlocking potential'.
Wendi's eyes remained fixed tightly on Su Chen.
Heaven knows from where she suddenly produced a notebook.
"How does it feel?"
Thirty seconds had passed when Wendi first posed a question to Su Chen.
"Feels a bit cool?" Su Chen's face bore a slightly peculiar expression.
"And then?"
"Hmm... let me feel it."
After drinking the 'cool tea for unlocking potential', Su Chen's body experienced some minor changes, though initially not noticeable, as Su Chen's physique was simply too robust.
Yet, over time, the effects of this 'cool tea for unlocking potential' began gradually manifesting.
Su Chen felt the cool and itching sensation gradually spreading throughout his body.
Cool... from a little refreshing coolness to gradually chilling.
There was a dramatic change in Su Chen's body temperature.
In just about a minute, Su Chen's body temperature plummeted below zero, thirty degrees, twenty-five degrees, eighteen degrees...
Minus two degrees, minus thirty degrees...
In just one minute, Su Chen's body temperature completely dipped into the negatives.
"Wendi, will he be alright?" Looking at Su Chen, whose skin was slightly exhaling cold air, Gu Niwei'er asked nervously.
Wendi's concoctions weren't something ordinary to ingest; they could prove to be fatal!
Wendi had no time to address Gu Niwei'er's concerns; she was intently recording notes on Su Chen with her notebook.
These were invaluable experimental data!
Indeed, the 'cool tea for unlocking potential' hadn't been formally subjected to clinical trials yet, and Su Chen was its first test subject.
"Seems it's still a little lacking?" remarked Wendi, biting on her pen, as she stared at Su Chen, now frosted over.
