...episode 08's...

...Compounding medicine...

...****************...

If counted, there were dozens of lightning strikes on Xiao's land. It was inconceivable as much as what pill Su Luxie had refined last night.

And now he's sleeping after making a mess all night.

"It looks like Luxie is very exhausted. What's he been doing lately?" Su An'yang asked Su Tiao, while putting some small bowls on the table.

"Sister's on pills, mother." Answer Su Tiao.

"Cleaning pills? Any more?"

"Well, he's been trying really hard. At least let him fall asleep soundly after a long stay." Said Su Tiao.

"But mom cooked her favorite food. He's getting thinner because he's always busy recovering those pills."

"..........."

...****************...

...In the imperial palace...

The emperor was seen sitting on his side while working on some files that had been piled up. Accompanied by his loyal eunuch.

"Parmacy's driver is back. But we still do not know who caused the arrival of the thunderbolts!" Emperor muttered

The eunuch could only fall silent while nodding. He looked at the emperor who was still preoccupied by some files.

"If there was anyone who could make the crown prince aware of his coma, then the emperor would not be this moody." The mind of the eunuch was also sad to think of the master who was too protracted into grief.

"After yesterday's incident, many people came claiming to have brought forth the lightning parmacy that was heard all over Xiao land. But after trying, they couldn't even resuscitate the crown prince who had fallen into a coma long enough."

"And after that they were hanged by the emperor. In the end the emperor became even more moody from having no other hope, other than waiting for the crown prince to wake up." the eunuch's mind.

"Bring another parmacy from another country to heal my son. We have to keep trying." Emperor's word.

"Performed, emperor."

...****************...

"Ah tired of it. My stomach is hungry." Su Luxie complained of hunger and then walked out of her room.

There he found Su Tiao and Su An'yang sitting at the table eating while quietly idling some dishes at the table.

"Eh mother, sister. You guys..."

"Sister, you're awake."

"Luxie, come here and eat."

They looked extremely excited upon seeing the presence of Su Luxie. Slowly Su Luxie approached them and looked towards the dish that was completely untouched.

"You've been preparing this for a long time, why haven't you eaten it yet?"

"It was intentional."

" I guess, eating threesome is much more delicious."

They replied with smiling faces thus making Su Luxie stunned.

"You don't have to do that. Sorry..."

"Why even apologize? It's not wrong to apologize!" Said Su Tiao.

"Luxie must be hungry, right? Sit down and eat. I made Luxie's favorite meal." Said Su An'yang.

"Really. It must be delicious."

"of course. Who used to cook."

"Our mother!" They spoke in unison and then followed by laughter.

Su An'yang could only smile at the behavior of his two children.

After finishing with each other's jokes, Each of them became more focused on food so that the room became silent instantly.

Su Luxie ate voraciously, if she remembered that she had not eaten this meal for a long time because she had to adapt to her new world.

Before long, one by one they have finished eating their food and now just clean up a few cutlery.

Su Luxie stood up and was about to lift some cutlery into the kitchen, but suddenly Su An'yang stopped himself.

"But, mom..."

"Let's put it down."

" All right."

Su Luxie inevitably put the cutlery back and sat down beside Su Tiao.

"Mom looking so excited this morning?" Whisper Su Luxie to Su Tiao.

"Because seeing you're the spirit of eating, mom's also in the spirit, sister." Answer Su Tiao.

"Ah is that right?"

"If you don't believe."

The two of them sat there while looking at Su An'yang who was cleaning up the entire house with enthusiasm.

In the midst of it anyway, Su Luxie, took the opportunity to speak 4 eyes to Su Tiao.

"Your pill is ready. You can drink it right now. After that I need to get some dirty blood that's clogging up your mana." Su Luxie.

"P-pill? So it really does heal?" Su Tiao asked in shock.

"Well, I told you. We should do it today too. Don't waste too much time."

"Alright, sister. Brother will do whatever you tell me to."

"Are you a dog?"

"Son is an adorable snow puppy!"

"Stop, or else I'll give you a pill to make your voice really like a dog!"

"Ah sister.jeez..."

After the joke, the day came quickly.

Now, Su Luxie and Su Tiao, immediately carried out their actions.

Su Tiao had taken the pill that Su Luxie had just refined. His body slowly became more contained and muscular. The flow of mana felt the flow of Su Tiao's blood.

That shows significant results. And even his meridian points were shattered, slowly returning again to their original form.

But it was a pity if Su Tiao still could not break through to the next level.

"That's because your meridian points are still too young. That's why I told you that I'm gonna get that dirty blood out of your body." Su Luxie.

"How safe?"

"Acupuncture and cupping." Su Luxie replied with a sweet smile while pointing a sharp needle towards Su Tiao.

Su Tiao suddenly shuddered in horror at the long and sharp needle. He suddenly retreated backwards because he felt pressure from the direction of Su Luxie.

"Ah don't have to sister.kakak don't have dirty blood anyway."

"Oho... Is my mighty brother frightened?"

"No. I'm freaking out."

With all the seduction that Su Luxie had issued, Su Tiao was finally willing to surrender to Su Luxie.

Su Luxie did not want to waste much time and finally immediately did the acupuncture and cupping process.

Although it feels quite painful but the process has a myriad of health benefits.

The dirty blood that was being expelled from Su Tiao's body was really a lot with a dark red color.

Su Luxie thought that was what had blocked the flow of mana to spread throughout the body and in the end the flow of mana accumulated and became an obstacle channeled blood, Su Tiao.

"After a two-day break, try to start cultivating again." Tell Su Luxie.

"But...who will help you if you have to sell pills?"

"Stupid! Can't I pay someone to help me?!"

"You're really rich, brother." Praise Su Tiao holding out 2 thumbs towards Su Luxie

"Well, I'm rich."
