"Haha... The Marrow Cleansing Pill is so potent, it feels incredibly good!"
Before Qian Renxue could compose herself from her embarrassment,
Jin Yue'er's laughter caught her attention.
Ye Tian also looked over.
He sighed helplessly at the empty bottle in her hand, feeling a headache coming on.
Jin Yue'er had clearly finished all the medicine again.
Her earlier silence must have been because she was enjoying the effects for quite a while.
Ye Tian nodded to himself inwardly.
It seemed
having Qian Renxue and the others come over every day was indeed necessary!
Otherwise, if he gave her several days' worth at once, Jin Yue'er would just take it all in one go.
She might come back the next day to squeeze more out of him.
That wouldn't do.
"Hehe..."
Jin Yue'er wore a satisfied smile on her face.
She bounced over to Ye Tian and sat down right next to him.
Grabbing his arm, she praised him enthusiastically:
"Ye Tian, your brain is so clever!"
"Thanks, but sorry, my brain isn't for eating."
Ye Tian reached out,
pushing Jin Yue'er's face away while also releasing Qian Renxue's shoulder.
They were getting too close.
Being sandwiched between them—he disliked sweating.
"Tch~"
Jin Yue'er covered her face and pouted.
"My brain is much better than yours; it could even smash walnuts..."
Jin Yue'er's words left Ye Tian speechless,
and made Qian Renxue forget her shyness, unable to hold back a laugh.
After a brief moment of silence,
Ye Tian chuckled lightly and nodded, acknowledging Jin Yue'er's capability.
"Alright!"
"If there's a chance someday, I'll buy two pounds of fresh walnuts for you to try."
Hearing this,
Jin Yue'er immediately deflated and said dejectedly:
"I can't smash fresh ones yet~"
"But..."
Then, she changed her tone, becoming proud again.
"But my grandpa can!"
"Haha... If you want fresh ones, I'll use Grandpa's head to smash them for you!"
"..."
Ye Tian was stunned, already picturing how Jin E raised his granddaughter.
This was too hardcore.
What decent person plays walnut-smashing games with their granddaughter using their head?!
And wasn't Jin Yue'er supposed to be in poor health?
This was just reckless!
At this,
Ye Tian completely lost his will to argue.
He shook his head and declined politely:
"Let's forget it, then. I'll do it myself."
"Why not? It's no trouble—one smash, a whole bag."
"Mainly because I don't like eating walnuts..."
"Pfft, haha!"
Watching Ye Tian in a difficult spot, Qian Renxue finally burst out laughing.
"Ye Tian, Yue'er is just joking with you..."
After speaking,
Qian Renxue gently leaned closer to Ye Tian, whispering near his ear.
She revealed the truth behind the walnut-smashing story to him.
"..."
Inside Wisteria Residence,
Bi Bi Dong leaned against the windowsill, relying on her Soul Douluo-level senses
to only hear the clear laughter.
"That kid..."
Bi Bi Dong couldn't help but frown.
Had that Evil Counselor given that child some terrible idea again?!
Bi Bi Dong didn't want to be schemed against once more.
But inevitably,
she now dared not show herself to chase Qian Renxue and the others away.
If Ye Tian had already given a bad suggestion,
then the moment she appeared, wouldn't that child fearlessly charge at her?
"That wretched little brat!"
Bi Bi Dong muttered angrily, having to hold back for now.
"..."
Qian Renxue's pink lips moved near his ear, her warm breath carrying a fragrant breeze.
Ye Tian finally understood.
So,
Jin Yue'er's walnuts had been tampered with!
No wonder Jin E dared to play such tricks.
But while the walnuts at home could be tampered with, the ones outside were genuine.
Jin E truly wasn't afraid of causing trouble!
Though it made sense -
given her sickly condition,
if not for Qian Renxue bringing her along to play, she might have been confined to home her whole life.
"..."
After revealing the truth,
Qian Renxue pressed her pink lips together with a light laugh, gradually pulling her head back from Ye Tian.
Yet unable to resist the temptation,
she gently sniffed twice the pleasant medicinal aroma.
Her snow-white cheeks flushed with color, making her appear even more delicate and tender.
"Sister Xue, what are you talking about?"
Jin Yue'er asked, confused.
"Nothing important."
Qian Renxue shook her head, her pink lips pressed together as she reached a decision.
Her almond eyes fixed firmly on Ye Tian's face,
she said briskly yet determinedly:
"I told Ye Tian we'll do as he suggested!"
"..."
Meeting Qian Renxue's gaze,
Ye Tian somehow felt her expression had subtly changed?
"Great! Wonderful!"
Jin Yue'er also expressed agreement with Ye Tian's idea.
The Holy Maiden was so terrifying -
whether Ye Tian's method would be effective was secondary; most importantly, it was safe!
Jin Yue'er asked with a puzzled expression:
"Sister Xue, can I come along too?"
"That's up to you."
Qian Renxue smiled without insisting, but Ye Tian corrected:
"No, she must come."
Halfway through his sentence, Ye Tian turned to look at Jin Yue'er seriously:
"From now on, you need to come get medicine every day."
"Ah?!"
Jin Yue'er's face changed color.
"Why? Don't you have plenty of pills stored, Ye Tian?"
"It's not just for you to take."
Ye Tian said matter-of-factly - his things, his rules.
"Except for special circumstances, I'll make it fresh each day and you'll take it immediately. Of course, you could also come every few days - I won't shortchange you."
"I think that's an excellent idea!"
Before Jin Yue'er could protest, Qian Renxue strongly endorsed Ye Tian's decision.
Jin Yue'er was far too greedy about food -
if not given regularly and in fixed amounts, she would definitely become clingy.
Qian Renxue knew this from deep experience.
"Don't worry Yue'er, if you don't want to come this far, I can get it for you."
"Mmm~ alright then."
Jin Yue'er agreed dejectedly.
With both Ye Tian and Qian Renxue having spoken so firmly, further resistance would be futile.
However,
her disappointment lasted only a moment before her mind became active again.
Spreading open five fingers, she asked eagerly:
"Then Ye Tian, could you give me five more now?"
"No problem."
Ye Tian agreed readily.
Casually taking out a porcelain bottle,
under Jin Yue'er gaze that shifted from excitement to confusion, he handed it to Qian Renxue.
"Little Xue, you two can split these ten."
"Mm, thank you Ye Tian."
Qian Renxue giggled as she accepted it, even shaking the bottle triumphantly at Jin Yue'er.
"Ah~"
Jin Yue'er immediately let out a mournful cry.
"Enough of that wailing."
Ye Tian slowly stood up, ruffling Jin Yue'er's head.
He turned and looked down at Qian Renxue.
"Little Xue, I should start thinking about dinner. You should head back early too."
"Mm~"
Qian Renxue nodded gently.
Holding the small porcelain bottle on her knees with both hands, she gave Ye Tian a sweet smile.
She looked unusually well-behaved and docile.
"Ye Tian~ See you tomorrow."
"..."
Ye Tian stared blankly at that smiling face, suddenly feeling a sense of being healed.
"I told you not to touch my hair!"
Suddenly.
Jin Yue'er decisively slapped away his hand,
making Ye Tian snap back to reality. He couldn't help but let out an awkward chuckle.
"Yue'er~"
Qian Renxue gave Jin Yue'er a reproachful glare before lowering her head, blushing,
and pulling her up.
"Let's go, we should head back now."
"Ye Tian, remember not to mess up my hairstyle next time~"
Jin Yue'er obediently stood by Qian Renxue's side.
"I'll try my best."
Ye Tian responded perfunctorily to Jin Yue'er,
hesitated for a moment, then decided to give Qian Renxue a heads-up first.
"Wait."
"Hmm? Is there something else?"
Qian Renxue looked at Ye Tian, her gaze somewhat evasive.
"Little Xue, you understand the principle of treating the right illness with the right medicine, right?"
"What?"
Qian Renxue was confused by Ye Tian's words.
