Chapter 83: Relaxing Pills
With confusion in his eye, Lyon tried to connect everything as to why he could pull that unbelievable play.
(Calm down me... let's think about it for a while... but where should I start! Damn it!) thought Lyon as Jugen caught his state of confusion.
"Hey big bro, are you alright? What are you pondering about? Ah, don't tell me you are thinking about my sister's butt?!" said Jugen with a finger pointing at Lyon.
*pak
Lyon smacked Jugen's head and said, "Can you not accuse me of thinking something perverted?" while shaking his head in denial. Jugen was speechless as he thought (Hey you can't blame me like that since you are that type of a guy, Goddamn!! I need a stronger word than shameless!!).
"If I would think about your sister it would be the time when I first kiss her, right-right, at that time I killed a whole lot of..." in the middle of his sentence Lyon realized something crucial (Wait a minute... That's right... Why didn't I feel nervous when I kill at that time, not to mention I killed a whole bunch of them like it was something I do every day...).
(Don't tell me... at that time when I was engulfed in a black sphere?) thought Lyon as he remembered the words from his 'first-wife' Selena about the ring containing half of his original power. (It must be that then, there is no other explanation... at least for now).
With an interest in mind, he looked at a pill store in front of him along with an amusing smile. Jugen who saw this immediately had a bad feeling (Was it not enough offending a hidden expert in an old store?!).
But it was all too late to turn back since Lyon already heading his way to the store with strides of confidence. People nearby immediately made way for him out of fear but also out of marvel.
Nobody wanted to mess with a legendary figure who killed a Divine cultivator while being a Soul cultivator, not to mention the cultivator was an elder of the infamous Mist Clan.
As he stepped inside, he immediately stood in front of a rack full of pills with their designated name and price tags. There were 'Relaxing pill', 'Cloud Tiger pill', 'Tide Heaven pill', and so on. Lyon was browsing these pills intensely that even the clerk of the store was afraid of helping him, while Jugen stood behind Lyon as any little brother would.
With one hand on his chin, he looked like he was thinking about something that nobody would understand. Lyon occasionally taking a glimpse at the bottom right corner and the top right corner of the rack which piqued the people nearby to do the same.
Finally, after some time, Lyon took a deep breath as he reached a conclusion. (I don't know any of this shit... like what the hell is a 'Tide Heaven pill', I don't even know whether there is a tide or not in heaven and what a 'Cloud Tiger pill' does? And I'm pretty sure 'Relaxing pill' is a drug like cocaine or some sort.).
"C-c-can I help you, sir?" A young feeble voice entered Lyon's ear as soon as he was about to turn back.
Being faced by the clerk's question and the stares of the customer nearby, Lyon nervously said, "Yes, I need a bag of cocai- ah I mean Relaxing pills."
The customer nearby immediately made contact with each other signaling their confusion. Why would someone like him buy a bag of Relaxing pill?
Even so, the clerk didn't ask any questions since they wanted to empty this batch of pills as soon as possible. With a quick succession moves a bag containing ten pills of Relaxing pills were ready even before Lyon could grab his money from his spatial ring.
"Hey big bro, are you sure you want to buy that pill?" whispered Jugen behind him.
"Hm? What's wrong with the pill?" asked Lyon.
*sigh
With a dejected face, he explained what the pill was actually for. Every sentence that entered Lyon's ear made his face darken and loomed for despair. It turned out that the pill was made for an old man in which cannot satisfy his woman anymore. In a simple term, to wake the 'dead dragon'.
There was only one word in Lyon's mind right now (Fuck!!). The image he built was destroyed in a single purchase in a pill store.
Although he looked calm in the outside, he constantly sought for excuses as he pretended to browse the pills some more. (Nothing! Nothing! I cannot come up with a single excuse!! I could lie and pretend to buy it for a relative but would they believe me?! Rumors will spread that I have a dead dragon!!)
*ehem
Lyon approached the clerk and said, "Excuse me, may I know from where your store got all these pills?"
Albeit nervous the clerk responded, "Ah yes, our store got all of them directly from the infamous alchemist Sir Dew of Fugar clan. It means that our pills are straight from his cauldron."
"Sir Dew?! You mean that Dew?!" interrupted Jugen.
"What? What's up with this Dew guy?" asked Lyon.
"Big bro, he is one of the top ten Saint pill makers in Deo!! Well, he is number ten, but he could create Saint grade pills which is a rare feat to accomplish in this world. He sure lacks behind the other top nine but a Saint grade pill makers is a Saint grade pill makers."
(So are you praising him or not?!) thought Lyon as he was about to grab the bag of Relaxing pills.
*tap
*tap
Silent footsteps that could only be heard by few entered the store as a familiar figure stood behind Lyon. However, before Lyon turned to face the figure, the figure said, "This old bones had eyes but couldn't see a master in disguise, please forgive this lowly one as he sought to listen to another of your play," while giving Lyon a slight bow.
Jugen noticed that Lyon was gripping the bag of pills more tightly than it should have been. As he took a peek at Lyon's expression he thought (Oh Lord...).
