Chapter 21 Part 2
Zhou Haotian had stumbled upon the strange flower seed by chance. Feng Jiao, through Heavenly Master Wu, had told him it was a Beauty’s Dimple seed, and the flower, cultivated with human essence blood, could make people look younger.
He thought, wouldn’t this be perfect for Feng Jiao? If Feng Jiao could become as young and beautiful as Fan Tu, she wouldn’t be so anxious anymore.
As for his father?
Besides giving him money, he had never given him paternal love, and he was even monopolizing his lover. It would be better if he were dead! It would also save him the trouble of dealing with the fallout when his father inevitably found out and died of anger.
Then he could have both love and career, who would dare say anything?
[As expected, absurd plots don’t need scripts, this is stepmother literature! What a filial son.]
[Was Zhou Haotian catfished? I feel like his stepmother and this Heavenly Master Wu were in cahoots. Seeing that the situation wasn’t right, they ran away in advance.]
[Yeah, who would know a Heavenly Master or a Taoist priest normally?]
[I just came to learn from Master Wu how to treat this strange illness, why did I end up eating melon (gossip)?]
Fan Tu’s blood boiled. It turned out that she was the real victim!
If it weren’t for Wu Heng… if it weren’t for Doctor Wu, she might not even know how she would die!
Fan Tu looked at Wu Heng gratefully, only to see him focused on tending to the two half-opened, blood-red flowers, as if the “flowerpots” weren’t actually people.
Zhou Haotian, however crazy, only used a person to grow flowers. Wu Heng was directly using people to grow people!
Heavenly Master Wu sensed a quiet madness in Wu Heng and screamed hysterically, “What, what are you doing? Murder is illegal! Police, save me, save me!”
Wu Heng certainly knew that murder was illegal, he was a law-abiding citizen, don’t falsely accuse good people.
A gentle smile appeared on Wu Heng’s handsome face. “Ancient shamans have secret methods. Besides human essence blood, a Heavenly Master’s cultivation can also nourish all kinds of flowers.”
As a shaman doctor, he also cultivated medicinal herbs. Wu Heng considered his planting skills maxed out.
In his previous courtyard, besides medicinal herbs, he also grew various fruits and vegetables, using his shamanic powers to ripen them early whenever he had a craving.
Heavenly Master Wu froze, staring at Wu Heng’s harmless face in disbelief.
What, what did he say?
Even killing someone wouldn’t be this terrifying.
“I don’t want to, I don’t want to…” Heavenly Master Wu gradually slumped in the hole, clearly feeling his supernatural powers being drained from his body.
Under the bright moon, a gentle breeze blew.
Millions of people watched, their eyes wide, as the two flower buds slowly bloomed, revealing their vibrant pistils.
They bloomed.
[!!! They actually bloomed.]
[Wow, these flowers are truly beautiful, different from other flowers, so stunning. No wonder they’re Beauty’s Dimples, born from essence blood.]
[Forgive me for being uncultured, I can’t really appreciate the beauty of flowers, they’re just okay. A flower that almost took someone’s life, quite terrifying.]
[+1, these flowers are fine to look at, but I wouldn’t dare keep them at home.]
In many people’s eyes, flowers only had ornamental value.
Wu Heng took the pistils and handed them to Fan Tu and Mr. Zhou, who were tag-teaming Zhou Haotian. “Eat them.”
Without hesitation, they popped them into their mouths.
Fan Tu, one foot on Zhou Haotian’s stomach, chewing on the pistil, shared her experience with her fans, “Hmm… a slightly sweet taste.”
Fan Tu’s mother was the first to notice the change in her daughter. “Tu Tu, you…”
Fan Tu was already beautiful, otherwise she wouldn’t have been Zhou Haotian’s target. Now, her skin became visibly fairer, her dry hair regaining its shine and smoothness, as if a beauty filter had been applied.
Even cosmetic surgery might not achieve this effect.
Fan Tu couldn’t help but touch her face, although she couldn’t see it, she could feel the collagen beneath her fingertips.
Had she become more beautiful?
Fan Tu looked at Mr. Zhou excitedly. “Uncle Zhou!”
The man, who had aged ten years, now saw his gray hair gradually return to its original dark color, the shallow wrinkles on his face disappearing as if photoshopped. Mr. Zhou, who usually paid great attention to his appearance, now looked like a young elite in his early thirties!
Mr. Zhou felt incredibly energetic, like a young man.
Fan Tu, still stepping on Zhou Haotian, stared at Mr. Zhou’s handsome face, a thought suddenly occurring to her. She blurted out,
“Uncle Zhou, why don’t you marry me?!”
The barrage comments, which had been going crazy over witnessing two people become younger, went even crazier.
[Holy crap, seriously? Is this “My Boyfriend Cheated On Me, So I Became His Stepmom”?]
[I’ve spent millions on skincare and could never achieve this rejuvenation effect. Streamer is awesome.]
[But then again, Mr. Zhou is already rich, and now he has the looks too. With that face, he could be a popular handsome uncle in the entertainment industry, right? Isn’t it normal for Tutu to have such thoughts?]
[+1! Hahaha, look at Zhou Haotian’s expression, I’m dying of laughter.]
Zhou Haotian, his face bruised and swollen, lay on the ground, staring at Fan Tu in disbelief.
He sputtered angrily, “Fan Tu, what are you saying? You want to be my stepmother?”
Fan Tu smirked. “Can’t I? You stupid son.”
Zhou Haotian almost went mad upon hearing this. His girlfriend becoming his father’s new wife, wasn’t this cuckolding him?
What a vicious woman!
Zhou Haotian almost fainted from anger!
Mr. Zhou, however, was startled by Fan Tu’s sudden proposal. He quickly took a step back and, meeting the disapproving gazes of the Fan parents, said hastily, “Tu Tu, you’re my junior, what nonsense are you talking about?!”
Mr. Zhou knew that Fan Tu was the true victim in this incident. If it weren’t for Doctor Wu Heng’s comment on her video, she might not even know how she would die.
The Zhou family owed Fan Tu a great debt.
After a moment of thought, Mr. Zhou said directly, “In that case, I’ll formally recognize Tu Tu as my goddaughter and give her half of the Zhou family’s assets as her future dowry.”
That beast Zhou Haotian, trying to cuckold his own father and even kill him. Mr. Zhou would never give all his assets to him now.
The two families were already close friends, and now they owed Fan Tu even more. This arrangement was reasonable.
Her future father-in-law becoming her godfather.
Everyone present was stunned.
Half of the Zhou family’s assets?!
Mr. Zhou was a prominent figure in T Province, even ranked on the national wealth list. He was giving half of his assets to Fan Tu?
Zhou Haotian’s face turned extremely pale. His girlfriend was taking his inheritance?
He was his father’s only son. Now, his father couldn’t possibly give him the inheritance. If he couldn’t produce an heir, not only half, but perhaps even all the assets would go to Fan Tu.
[Oh my god, isn’t this a typical “female protagonist gets revenge” scenario? A true blessing in disguise. Dumping the cheating boyfriend, gaining the youth every woman dreams of, and even inheriting billions of assets, I wouldn’t even dare to dream of this.]
[Damn, I want to transmigrate into Fan Tu now, she’s rich, she’s made it!]
[Wuwuwuwu why can’t I connect with Wu Heng? This is all thanks to Doctor Wu!]
[+1, if it weren’t for Wu Heng, Fan Tutu wouldn’t even have her life, let alone money. She’s so lucky.]
Wu Heng, seeing the barrage comments mentioning billions of assets, couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.
He had been live streaming for several days, and he hadn’t earned that much.
The little white snake murmured enviously, ‘Is this the charm of having a godfather?’
The little gray snake nodded. ‘Yes, Big Brother Da Bai, Godfather is super nice. Why don’t you also recognize Heng Heng as your godfather?’
‘Godfather Heng Heng protects me and takes care of me, he even bought me lots of fried chicken, and Second Godfather gave me a kids’ card.’
The little white snake was swayed by the recommendation.
Its scarlet eyes stared intently at Wu Heng’s back.
Could it be… could it really become Wu Heng’s unfilial son? How could it be Wu Heng’s godson?
After much deliberation, as if giving in, the little white snake suddenly slithered quickly towards Wu Heng and, under Xi Xi’s encouraging gaze, said impatiently, ‘Wu Heng, I want to go back.’
Wu Heng looked at the time. “We’re not done yet, I haven’t given my instructions.”
It was the one who insisted on coming, and now it was also the one eager to leave.
The little white snake wriggled on the ground, saying urgently, ‘I, I have something urgent, I want to go back.’
Both the little white snake and Xi Xi came with Wu Heng. Although the little white snake was the Well Dragon King, it only had a travel permit, not the ability to travel through wells.
Wu Heng was worried that it would get lost in the water system and be swept away by the undercurrent if it returned alone.
Xi Xi, seeing the little white snake wriggling on the ground, suddenly asked, ‘Big Brother Da Bai, do you need to pee?’
Like some people who could only use their own toilets.
The little white snake: ‘Ah? Yes, yes, yes!’
Wu Heng immediately saw through its lie, but he didn’t question its sudden urge to return.
Wu Heng picked up a leaf from the ground, cast a spell on it, and handed it to the little white snake. “Take this back, but it only works once.”
The little white snake, holding the green leaf in its mouth, bid farewell to Xi Xi and hurried to the nearest well.
The little white snake had to admit that Wu Heng was indeed a powerful shaman doctor. With the leaf, it successfully returned to the ancient well at the east end of Nan Nuo village.
Climbing out of the well, it remembered almost being bitten to death by a green water snake after taking a wrong turn. It was lucky to have escaped. If it had a godfather to protect it…
That thought fermented in its mind.
If not an unfilial son, it could also be a filial one, hehe…
Wu Su noticed that Young Master Shi Xuan had been visiting the courtyard more frequently lately, always going to the well, even cleaning up the surroundings.
Although he still didn’t understand why.
Shi Xuan clutched the string of bells in his hand, but they never rang again.
Under the thick night, Shi Xuan stood by the well, lost in thought.
He seemed to be a shut-in. Since returning to the well that day, besides receiving the carefully packaged hot meals he sent down, he had never come out.
Shi Xuan: “Can we…talk?”
The cold well water rippled as usual, but that figure didn’t emerge.
Shi Xuan pursed his lips slightly and was about to return to his room.
The well water gurgled, and a Wallace (a fast-food chain similar to KFC) bag floated to the surface. Shi Xuan immediately scooped it up, opened it, and found a water-soaked math practice paper inside. His usually calm heart stirred.
Since he had replied to his message asking for Orleans flavor, he hadn’t received any more notes.
Tonight, he was willing to talk again.
He seemed to be even more introverted and reserved than himself.
Shi Xuan wiped the water from the paper and slowly unfolded it. The same crooked handwriting:
“Can you be my godfather?”
Shi Xuan froze, his pupils constricting. “……!”
What did he say?
