Capítulo 51: Elementary Pill's Long Lost Effects
For the rest of the afternoon, not one approached Lan Xiang's stall. Almost everyone who had witnessed the miracle chose to shut their mouths and keep the news for themselves, they wouldn't want anyone to compete with their time with the Mysterious Xiang Lan.
The passersby who knew nothing scorned his scummy practices and left, to which Lan Xiang shrugged. The bunch of fanatical people would likely come tomorrow, there was no point in his being here anymore.
He tore off the pieces of paper on his furnace and threw everything in his storage ring, except for the rug. It was too dirty to put in, he needed to at least shake the dirt off first.
Ye Qingle looked at the sunset. It wasn't that hot anymore. "Hey, Xiang..."
Lan Xiang was too busy hitting the rug that he didn't hear her.
"Xiang. Xiang, hello?"
Seeing as he was too distracted, Ye Qingle chose to pull on his cloak to grab his attention. "Hey, Xiang-..."
She fell silent. Why does Xiang have long hair?
"Hm? What is it?"
Lan Xiang turned around, facing Ye Qingle.
She widened her eyes, her heart skipping a beat. A girl? Way prettier than me?? Who is this, this isn't Xiang!
Seeing her shocked expression, Lan Xiang tried to think of what could surprise her. He glanced behind him, maybe there was some kind of big explosion happening.
"Ah, there's nothing there. Just tell me what is it you want."
"Y, you, girl, a girl?" Ye Qingle pointed at his face.
At that point, Lan Xiang realized what she was referring to. "Ah. Oops."
The passersby and shop vendors could also see his face, to which they either swooned over or got jealous of his appearance.
"That is the face of the Mysterious Xiang Lan?" "She's so beautiful..." "Like a refreshing flower in the desert."
She was so beautiful, even Ye Qingle, who considered herself to be one of the pretty girls, had no fighting chance. "So pretty..."
Lan Xiang heard everyone's voices. Every single compliment about his appearance, he felt a pricking in his heart, and also his brain.
A voice inside of his head: "Why don't you just accept the compliments?"
Another voice inside of his head: "No! You must never! You are a handsome man!"
"Who told you that handsome men cannot be beautiful women?"
"Don't you dare corrupt my ideals!"
"It's fine, we live in modern times now."
"But..."
Before he could convince himself to accept the fact that he was beautiful, he heard Ye Qingle's voice once more. "Who are you? Where's Xiang, huh?"
Lan Xiang stored the rug, grabbed her hand and headed toward a secluded alleyway. He took off his cloak.
"Ah, you have big boobs." She subconsciously looked down on her own. They weren't that big...
A vein popped out on Lan Xiang's forehead. He hurriedly took off the Disguise Ring.
Not long after, his appearance morphed back to his normal self.
"...Xiang? You were wearing a disguise ring!" Ye Qingle was satisfied. She had figured it out.
A second later, she felt indignant. When Xiang was a girl, he was prettier and more well-endowed than me... It's unfair...
"Don't tell anyone about this, okay?" Lan Xiang placed the disguise ring inside his pocket.
Ye Qingle refused to answer. She turned her head away in protest.
"Ha? What are you doing? Do you mean you'll tell everyone?"
Lan Xiang imagined such a scenario. It didn't feel right...
"No, dumbass." Ye Qingle was evidently more aggressive than earlier. Hai, it's true that comparing will only bring me hurt.
Lan Xiang took out his phone and called Lu Xifa, who promptly arrived in her pajamas and had a toothbrush in her mouth.
"You thook sho long, I wash abouth tho shleep."
"Hm? It's only 6pm, you're going to sleep this early?"
Lu Xifa took the toothbrush out of her mouth. "Well, in Pei Luan, it's dangerous to stay awake later than 7pm, don't you know?"
Lan Xiang shrugged. He truly didn't know.
Lu Xifa quickly opened a portal, first to Ye Qingle's apartment.
When the three arrived, Lan Xiang widened his eyes. Inside her bedroom as well?
Ye Qingle suddenly realized something. "Don't look around, Xiang! I forbid you to look around!"
Lu Xifa also bit her lip. She forgot that Ye Qingle didn't want anyone else to see her bedroom because...
Before Lan Xiang could continue observing the surroundings, he felt himself turning weightless. "Oh, a rift opened under me."
When Lan Xiang came through, Lu Xifa hurriedly closed the rift. "That should have sent him straight to his house."
Ye Qingle shook Lu Xifa by the shoulder. "What were you thinking, bringing him here!"
"Ah, don't worry, he's seen my bedroom by accident as well."
"..." Ye Qingle cursed Lu Xifa inside.
.....
Lan Xiang landed on the soft grass in his backyard with one of his knees kneeling and his fist touching the ground. Basically, he was posing like Ir*nman.
He stood up and entered the house.
"Jian'er, I'm home..."
"Welcome back." Xie Jian shouted from the kitchen.
"Ah, my lack of sleep is catching up to me..."
As soon as he stepped inside the house, his whole body shut down.
Xie Jian peeked outside the door and saw Lan Xiang collapse onto the floor. She hurriedly rushed towards his side and caught him in the nick of time.
Soon enough, Lan Xiang started snoring.
Xie Jian smiled, gently patting his head. After that, she carried him towards his bedroom and laid him down. She also removed his uniform and replaced it with his house outfit.
"Hai, what have you been doing lately, look at these eyebags!"
.....
Midnight.
Ye Qingle peacefully watched a video on the internet while eating some chips in a bowl. Her appearance now was of a stark difference from how she was outside her house.
Her hair was tied up into a bun. Although she didn't look bad without makeup, she wasn't particularly attractive either. There were freckles on both sides of her cheeks, along with some chip powders.
The video she was watching didn't interest her anymore, so she turned her laptop off and crashed onto her bed.
"...In the end, what is Xiang's intentions? Turning into a girl like that..." As she imagined it, she rolled around her bed, blushing.
"He was so beautiful, damn it. I think I've a crush on him as a girl..."
After that thought, Ye Qingle bashed her head onto a wall. "No, nononono! Don't do this, Qingle!"
She headed to the bathroom and showered herself with cold, cold water. "Pure thoughts, pure thoughts, pure thoughts..."
A few minutes later.
She finished her shower. As she felt refreshed and her mind clear of impurity, she rested on her bed peacefully.
All of a sudden, a stomachache disrupted her sleep.
"Ooh..." Ye Qingle sat up, biting her lip and clenching her stomach. "Is this because I ate the Elementary Pill?"
She rolled around on her bed, the pain gradually subsiding.
"That's the end of it. Hai..."
At that moment, she felt all her pores open up. The qi around her leaked through and barged inside.
"Ha? What's happening?"
Ye Qingle could feel the amount of qi inside of her rise dramatically. At that point, she had no choice but to cultivate. There was too much qi coursing through her. At this rate, she would feel immense pain from the bloating of her pathways if she didn't do so.
With sweat on her forehead, Ye Qingle closed her eyes and started cultivating.
At the same time, she tried to think of what might've caused this. "Was it the Elementary Pill I took earlier? That can't be, it's supposed to have no effects! But that's the only possible explanation. Aside from swallowing that pill, I didn't do anything different from usual.
"Wait, wasn't there... yeah, yeah, I remember! The teachers only briefly glossed over it, but I remember that in the first era of cultivation, the Elementary Pill had an effect. Teacher didn't say for certain what kind of effect it was, but he was sure it used to boost cultivation. Is it what I'm experiencing now?"
.....
Morning.
Ye Qingle opened her eyes, her breath heavy. The effect lasted for longer than she thought.
"I... broke through?" Ye Qingle widened her eyes. In a single night, the bottleneck which had troubled her for a few years now was resolved by a pill!
What's more, that pill was the Elementary Pill! The most basic pill!
Ye Qingle thought of Lan Xiang in amazement. It was still the Elementary Pill, that's for sure. Yet, he managed to bring out its long lost effects...
She recalled Lan Xiang's figure as he refined the pills earlier in Wuji Street. What he must've looked like under the cloak... wait, he had the appearance of a girl then...
The image of the beautiful Lan Xiang sweating profusely as he followed the procedure...
Ye Qingle bashed her head against the wall once more.
