Old Man Zhao, the legendary healer of Xinghua Village!

Just then, a gentle breeze swept through the room, and a hazy green light flickered on the desk.

Li Yujiao thought she was seeing things, so she quickly rubbed her eyes and looked carefully at the desk.

However, because Zhao Dazhu was facing away from Li Yujiao, blocking most of her view, she couldn't see clearly what was glowing.

By the time Li Yujiao curiously got off the bed, the hazy green light on the desk had disappeared, as if it had never appeared.

"It's done! This old man has done it!"

Zhao Dazhu shouted excitedly, as happy as a child.

When Li Yujiao came over, she saw that there were two small bottles in front of Zhao Dazhu, and the two small bottles contained some viscous green liquid.

"Is this what you call beauty serum?" Li Yujiao asked.

"Yes, this is the Five Spirits Beauty Elixir that I personally concocted!" Zhao Dazhu said excitedly, and even picked up a bottle of Five Spirits Beauty Elixir and stuffed it into Li Yujiao's hand.

Li Yujiao brought the bottle to her nose and smelled it. The unique aroma of Chinese medicinal herbs immediately wafted from the bottle and entered her nasal cavity.

The smell isn't exactly pleasant, but it's not unpleasant either.

Li Yujiao asked, "Is this beauty serum really as miraculous as you say?"

"Of course, everything I make is rare and wondrous," Zhao Dazhu said confidently.

"Then...then I'll give it a try," Li Yujiao said.

As a woman, Li Yujiao naturally loves beauty and hopes to become more beautiful.

So it's not surprising that she's making this request now.

But Zhao Dazhu immediately stopped him, saying, "No, don't be in such a hurry. Although I made this beauty serum and I'm very confident in it, we can't be too afraid of the unexpected."

"I'll take it to Lü Yanqiu to try first when it's light. If the beauty serum works as expected on her face, then it won't be too late for you to try it."

Hearing Zhao Dazhu say that, Li Yujiao couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"What if the experiment fails on Lü Yanqiu's face and she gets disfigured?" Li Yujiao asked.

Zhao Dazhu rubbed his hands and said, "Her face is already like that, how much worse can it get? Besides, in my heart, Lü Yanqiu can never compare to you."

Zhao Dazhu's words warmed Li Yujiao's heart.

Li Yujiao was already itching to get closer, and now she couldn't resist any longer. She put down the small bottle in her hand and threw herself into Zhao Dazhu's arms.

As the warm, soft body entered his arms, Zhao Dazhu's heart was instantly stirred, as if a swarm of tiny ants were crawling all over him.

"Carry me to bed..." Li Yujiao said softly, even looking at Zhao Dazhu with seductive eyes.

Looking at the alluring Li Yujiao, Zhao Dazhu couldn't help but exclaim, "Yujiao, you're getting more and more captivating! You're practically one of those bewitching female demons from Journey to the West! I feel like my old life is going to end with you sooner or later!"

The next moment, the lights in the room went out.

………………

After having breakfast, Zhao Dazhu waited patiently for a while until the sun was high in the sky before finally taking a bottle of beauty serum and arriving at the village supermarket with anticipation.

As usual, Lü Yanqiu, the female supermarket owner, sat behind the counter, watching TV series on her laptop while eating sunflower seeds.

Seeing Zhao Dazhu rush in, the embarrassing incident from yesterday immediately flashed through her mind. She stood up, feeling both ashamed and angry, and somewhat flustered, and snapped, "Old man Zhao, what are you doing here again? You bought so much food yesterday, did you really finish it in just two meals?"

"We haven't finished eating! There's still so much left!" Zhao Dazhu said cheerfully.

"And now you..."

Before Lü Yanqiu could finish speaking, Zhao Dazhu pulled a small bottle out of his pocket.

"Hey girl, look at this."

Zhao Dazhu smiled and stepped forward, placing the small bottle into Lü Yanqiu's hand.

Lu Yanqiu held the bottle of Five Spirits Beauty Essence, observed it for a while, and then showed a puzzled expression.

"What is this?" Lü Yanqiu asked.

Zhao Dazhu explained, "This is a beauty serum I developed that has various effects such as removing blemishes, whitening, skin care, and beautifying the complexion. I figured it might be effective for the scars on your face, so I brought it over for you to try."

"You...you're serious? You're not lying to me?" Lü Yanqiu was both surprised and delighted, but at the same time, she looked at Zhao Dazhu with a wary expression.

Zhao Dazhu laughed and said, "Of course I'm not lying to you. You must have heard that my medical skills are so amazing now. Don't you have any faith in me at all?"

"But...but why are you being so kind? Are you up to something?" Lü Yanqiu asked, her cheeks flushing.

"You're really wronging me. What bad ideas could an old man like me possibly have?" Zhao Dazhu said with a wronged expression.

Lü Yanqiu snorted, somewhat embarrassed and annoyed, and said, "It's precisely because you're a decrepit old man, and a bachelor at that, that I... that I have to be wary of you. What if you suddenly become lustful and try to do *that* to me? What then?"

"Oh, little sister, you're really underestimating me. No matter what, I, Zhao Dazhu, would never have such wicked thoughts. I swear that if I ever have any bad ideas about you, may I be struck by lightning and die a horrible death. Is that alright?" Zhao Dazhu said emphatically.

Only after Zhao Dazhu had put his words to this point did the wariness on Lü Yanqiu's face gradually fade.

But then, somewhat embarrassed, Lü Yanqiu asked, "You...you brought me this medicine for free?"

"It's definitely free, don't worry," Zhao Dazhu said with a smile.

"How can I feel at ease? You know, what's free is often the most expensive," Lü Yanqiu said softly.

"Actually, I wanted you to help me test the drug. After all, this drug is something I just developed, and I haven't used it on anyone yet. I can't guarantee its effectiveness," Zhao Dazhu said frankly.

Lü Yanqiu was so angry she laughed, saying, "So, after all this time, you were just using me as a guinea pig?"

"I had no choice; someone had to test the drug," Zhao Dazhu said.

Then Zhao Dazhu shut his mouth and looked at Lü Yanqiu without saying a word.

He had said everything he needed to say. If Lü Yanqiu didn't agree, there was nothing he could do. He couldn't very well force this woman.
