Chapter 318 Getting Younger
Chapter 318 Getting Younger
Although the old man and the old woman look at Li Yong with poker faces, the relationship between them has eased a bit.
“You can ask Xiaoyong to get you a bowl of water when he recovers.” The old man persuades the old woman.
“Why can’t you wait? What if he can only get the water once?” The old woman says angrily.
“He didn’t get old after he took the water. He should still be able to fetch water.”
“Hum, I can’t wait. I want to drink now.” The old woman gets into a huff like a little girl.
“You can’t win me.” The old woman bursts into anger.
“Bastard. You said you would love me to death, and you said you did everything for me. You are a liar. You are a shameless and dirty man...” The old woman scolds in anger. The more she swears, the angrier she becomes.
The old man blushes, as if he has been exposed by the old woman. He seems to have come to his senses. However, he still seizes the side of the big jade bowl without slackening his grip.
Looking at their quarrel, Li Yong suddenly feels that the relationship between a couple is so worthless. In the face of important things, any feelings and vows are deceptive. A bitter smile forms on his face. He can’t stand it any longer, sitting down on the floor directly. He has no idea why he is so tired. He is so tired that he wants to sleep.
He only uses his mind once in the Dragon Jade, but he used almost all his strength.
“Master, Madam, what’s wrong with my husband?” Only Xiao Xiaopan cares about him. She becomes anxious when she sees Li Yong fall on the ground. She asks the old man and the old woman while supporting Li Yong.
“Nothing serious, he should be all right after having a rest.” The old man glances at Li Yong. He still seizes the jade bowl without slackening his grip, so does the old woman. It is as if Li Yong’s life is not as important as the jade bowl to them.
But their eyes flash with shock.
As far as they know, everyone who can get water from the Dragon Jade will become old in an instant and die soon. In order to thank Li Yong’s contribution to them, they have even prepared a coffin and cemetery for him. They will also help Li Yong realize all his wishes before he dies.
If they want to get this stream water, they will have to sacrifice others’ lives.
However, Li Yong is still young after getting the stream water. Although he looks a little weak, he doesn’t grow old. He doesn’t seem to be seriously affected, which is very different from legend.
This is something they haven’t expected, and they feel so incredible.
In fact, the reason why Yang Changkong left overnight was that he did not want to see Li Yong grow old and die.
After getting along with Li Yong, he somewhat likes the young man.
Li Yong doesn’t know that he has already been taken advantage of by this old man, old woman and Yang Changkong. He doesn’t know his life is in danger at any moment. He is even grateful to the old man and the old woman. He attributes all the reason why he becomes strong to their training. And he feels glad that he can help them.
Although he is tired, he still urges his internal strength and spiritual power inwardly. So he is still able to hold on.
He already feels that he has consumed a lot of physical energy and mental energy. But he can also recover slowly.
“Master, Madam, don’t argue.” He says weakly, “You have been together for so long, and the relationship between you guys is so deep. Why are you arguing for a bowl of water? Why don’t you divide it in two and share it together?”
“Master and Madam, you can share it!” Xiao Xiaopan also persuades them gently. Being adopted by the master and madam, Xiao Xiaopan is full of gratitude to them.
“Darling, shall we share it?” The old woman asks with a smile.
The old man’s expression is extremely serious, thinking, “What if it doesn’t work after we share it?”
“If it doesn’t work, let’s go to hell together then. You once said that although we couldn’t choose to be born on the same day, we can die on the same day.” The old woman says seriously.
“You are such a harridan! You would rather let me die than live, right?” The old man bursts into anger.
“You old fogey, I don’t want you to live. What can you do? You want to drink this bowl of water, go out to fool around with other women and deceive those ignorant girls and young women. I was a daughter of an eminent family before, but I was fooled by you. You are an ungrateful man, so I want you to die. I’ll never let you cheat anyone else again. Can you believe that I can crush this jade bowl right away and let the stream water flow away?” The old woman also bursts into anger, and her tone is higher than the old man’s.
Li Yong sighs. When he heard from Yang Changkong that their master had 36 wives, he was very jealous. But when he sees what is going on here, he never dares to think like that again.
If every wife of a man has the same temper of this old woman, which man can stand 36 wives like this?
The old man is afraid, saying helplessly, “Okay, let’s divide it into two bowls.”
“How to divide?” The old woman asks.
“Let me do it.” The old man takes it for granted.
“I don’t believe you. Why don’t let me to divide it?”
“I don’t believe you, too.”
Seeing that they don’t trust each other, Li Yong says again, “Master and Madam, let me do it for you! I promise to be fair, just and reasonable. I won’t take sides with either of you.”
“Let Xiaoyong do that.” After the old woman glanced at Li Yong and thought for a moment, she says.
“Okay, let Xiaoyong do it for us, fifty-fifty.” The old man also thinks it for a long time. Although he is very helpless, he thinks this is the best solution at present. When these two people don’t trust each other, they can only seek the intervention of a third party to make things fairer.
“Let it go first.” The old woman says seriously.
“You do that first.” The old man says seriously, too.
“Let it go together.”
“Okay.”
“One, two, three...” The old woman and the old man count together. They let go of the jade bowl at the same time and stand at the either side. Both of their eyes twinkle with greed, keeping a close eye on the water in the jade bowl.
As if this bowl of water is more precious than everything they have.
They can give up everything and disregard everything for this bowl of water.
Li Yong takes a deep breath, supporting himself by putting his hands on the ground. Then he stands up slowly. Even though he’s strong, in order to get this bowl of water for them, he is so tired and he can’t stand still. The old man and the old woman haven’t even said a word to care about him until now.
Although Li Yong has some complaints about them, he doesn’t dare to show his true thought. When the old man and the old woman scrambled for the jade bowl, the imposing manner they exuded was much stronger than his strength.
Xiao Xiaopan brings a balance from the corner and puts jade cups on both sides of the balance.
“Be careful.”
“Don’t spill it.”
Li Yong picks up a small jade spoon under the old man and the old woman’s earnest cautions. Very solemnly and carefully, he dips the spoon into the jade bowl, gently scoops up a spoon of water and puts the water in the jade cup without missing any drop of the water.
He finds that the golden light of the stream water doesn’t dissipate when the jade spoon, jade bowl and jade cup contact, but gathers together. The golden light gives off a faint and charming smell. Li Yong takes a deep breath, feeling himself regain some strength.
It seems that the jade bowl, jade cup and jade spoon are unusual things. The old man and the old woman are well prepared.
Under the close gaze of the old man and the old woman, Li Yong absorbedly takes the jade spoon and carefully distributes the water to them one by one. Each of his moves is rigorous, serious and standard, which makes him look like a robot.
The old man stands on the left, and the old woman stands on the right.
The old man is very happy when he sees Li Yong put the water to the left side. And when the old woman sees Li Yong put the water to the right side, she is also very happy but the old man is heartbroken. It feels like cutting a piece of meat from him. He can’t wait for Li Yong to put the water into his jade cup, but he knows that they need fairness and justice.
At this moment, he hates fairness and justice very much. He also hates the old woman fighting with him.
If he had known that the old woman would fight with him, he must have driven her away.
Time is ticking out. It takes Li Yong ten minutes to evenly divide a half bowl of water into two cups of water. Seeing that the pointer of the balance is right in the middle, Li Yong puts down the white jade spoon gently. Then the old woman and the old man are also relieved.
They wait so hard for this moment, and the process is excruciating.
They just spent ten minutes, but they seemed to have waited a lifetime.
“Master and Madam. I have finished. Drink them together then!” Li Yong puts down the jade spoon gently and says with a smile.
The old man and the old woman can’t wait to drink. They lift their cups, raise their heads and drink it at the same time.
It seems that the stream water is as sweet as honey and they have owned the most wonderful taste in the world. After drinking, they also lick their own lips. They even pick up the jade cups again and pour the water into their mouths. They don’t want to waste a drop of water.
Something shocking has happened. The old man and the old woman become younger at the same time. They change from the elderly to young people with black hair and young faces. They become rejuvenated from listlessness. Then they all have a fine color in their cheeks and they are full of energy.
There are fewer and fewer wrinkles on their faces, and their hair has changed from white to black. Their cloudy eyes become bright.
The old man becomes a big and tall man. His back straightens and his face becomes angular, which makes him looking imposing.
He soon becomes from an old man that would get tired easily even after walking a few meters to a strong middle-aged man. There seems to be a lot of power hidden in his body, which makes him energetic and lets him become a man full of vitality.
“Hahaha...”
He bursts into laughter and waves his arms, showing his pleasure and excitement to his heart’s content. At this moment, he is absolutely the happiest one in the world. He is thrilled. He finally has a new life. He is no longer worried about that he will die and he is no longer afraid every day.
But the old woman doesn’t stop changing like the old man when she becomes a charming middle-aged woman.
She continues to grow younger. From forty to thirty, and she quickly changes from thirty to twenty.
She is also very happy, and she has become the happiest one in the world.
She has fair skin and a tall figure. Her body is sexy and there is no extra proud flesh. Her long legs are attractive. She becomes a girl of regular features and has a pair of bright eyes. A excited smile forms on her face. All these characteristics make her a superb beauty.
“Darling, you are so beautiful. You’re a fairy like you were when we first met.”
