Late at night, at the rooftop of a skyscraper.
Tang Hao was making pills there.
With the ingredients he obtained from the Taoist masters, he managed to complete many recipes. For example, the Bone Growth Pill was a medical pill that could heal broken bones quickly.
There were also other pills with different uses.
The most important one was none other than the Mortality Shedding Pill.
The Mortality Shedding Pill was different from all other medical pills he made so far. Once taken, a person would be able to shed their mortal body and live the rest of their lives without illness, disease, or aging.
With the three portions of herbs he received, he only managed to produce one pill. That was for none other than Qin Xiangyi.
He got back home when the sun was about to rise.
While they ate breakfast, Qin Xiangyi lifted her head and looked at Tang Hao. “Do you remember what day it is, Lil Tang?”
Her eyes sparkled with anticipation.
“What day is it?” Tang Hao said, confused.
Qin Xiangyi was surprised. She pouted and said angrily, “Don’t you remember?”
Tang Hao laughed. “Of course I remember! It’s the anniversary of our first date!”
‘That was close’! He thought. He only remembered the special date a few days ago.
“You meanie! You remember!” Qin Xiangyi glared at him and said huffily.
However, she could not hide the joy in her eyes.
“I wouldn’t have forgotten about that! I also prepared a gift for you,” Tang Hao retrieved a little jade box and handed it to her.
“What’s that?” Qin Xiangyi asked curiously.
“It’s a pill!”
“What pill is it?” Qin Xiangyi’s eyes sparkled.
She had taken two pills from Tang Hao before. The first was a Jade Bone Pill, which gave her impeccable skin and flesh. The second was a Pill of Everlasting Beauty, which retained her beauty.
“That’s the Mortality Shedding Pill. After you eat it, your body would not be considered mortal anymore. You won’t become ill ever,” Tang Hao said.
“That’s amazing!” Qin Xiangyi’s mouth was open slightly.
She took the box and opened it to look inside. “Thank you, my love,” she said coyly.
She took out the pill from the box and swallowed it.
“You’d better go into the bathroom. You’ll see the effects soon,” Tang Hao said.
She remembered what happened when she took a pill last time and quickly jogged toward the bathroom.
Half an hour later, she returned to the kitchen. Her entire body seemed different. Her skin was more delicate and even seemed glossy.
There was an unearthly air to her figure. Her beauty was breathtaking.
When the two eventually stepped out of bed, it was already afternoon. They went to the theme park where they had their first date.
At night, after she fell asleep, Tang Hao went to the top of a skyscraper and continued making pills.
Tang Hao forgot the time as he was engrossed in the pill-making process.
His phone abruptly started ringing suddenly, which caused a lapse in his concentration and made his furnace explode.
“Who could it be?” Tang Hao furrowed his brows.
The call was from an unknown number.
He hesitated for a while but answered it anyway.
A familiar voice came from the other end of the call. The voice sounded frantic.
“Tang Hao!”
Tang Hao’s face went pale when he heard that.
‘Isn’t that Teacher Jiang?
‘It sounds like she’s in trouble!’
“What’s wrong, Teacher Jiang?” He stood up and asked sternly.
“Someone is hunting us down. Please come quick…” Jiang Wanying said frantically.
Someone shouted, “They’re coming, Young Miss! Let’s go!”
Then, he heard the sound of gunfire.
“Teacher Jiang, are you still wearing the bracelet and blood jade bead?” Tang Hao asked.
“I am…”
“Let’s go, Young Miss! There won’t be time!” That person yelled.
Footsteps were heard charging toward her. After that, the phone call ended.
Beep…
The phone call ended abruptly.
Tang Hao’s expression was grim as he held the phone.
Obviously, Teacher Jiang was caught in a triad conflict at Merrica.
The one who called her “Young Miss” should be her grandfather’s underlings.
He was slightly relieved that she would not be harmed by mundane threats while wearing the jade bracelet and blood jade bead.
However, if she were captured by the enemy, the jade bracelet would eventually break. He had to go to Merrica no matter what!
He sat back down and looked at the time.
It was four o’clock in the morning. It should be daytime in Merrica.
He thought for a while, then picked up his phone and gave a call to Shabby Taoist Master to ask him for a passport, visa, and a ticket on the next available flight.
In the morning, he told Qin Xiangyi about it.
“Be safe! I hope you can save her,” Qin Xiangyi said.
He gave a call to Han Yutong, telling her that he would be away for the next few days.
After that, he departed for Provincial City.
He met with Shabby Taoist Master at Octagon Alley in Provincial City and got the passport, visa, and flight ticket from him.
At noon, Tang Hao boarded the plane and flew toward Merrica.
