Amanda stood close by and soon caught the scent. She moved closer to Yang Hao’s face, sniffing repeatedly, “What’s this smell? It’s so good, really so good.”
Yang Hao watched Amanda greedily inhaling the fragrance. They were nearly face to face, and Yang Hao felt embarrassed, quickly stepping back twice and lowering his head to ask Hunyuanzi, “Old Master, why is this happening?”
Hunyuanzi saw Yang Hao had obediently swallowed the pill and his anger somewhat eased, “This is called sweetness after bitterness, understand? You clumsy apprentice have actually gained blessings from misfortune. After taking the Longhu Dahuandan (Dragon-Tiger Great Replenishing Pill), it can replenish the true energy throughout your body. No matter how much energy you emit, it can be replenished. Moreover, you will constantly emit this unique fragrance, which is very effective for attracting the opposite sex.”
Yang Hao indeed hadn’t expected that such an unassuming pill could have such a powerful effect. At that moment, he felt that all his recent hardships had not been in vain, and his confidence soared.
Driven by excitement, Yang Hao continued energetically, putting the remaining herbs into the cauldron. He wanted to refine all these herbs into Longhu Dahuandan.
This time, Yang Hao was experienced and quickly emitted his true energy into the flame. However, this time the emitted energy was even more vivid in color, clearly indicating that after taking the pill, his energy had become much purer, further enhancing the flame.
Just a few minutes later, four new Longhu Dahuandan quietly lay at the bottom of the cauldron.
Before Yang Hao could act, Amanda had already rushed forward, picking up one pill from the bottom, holding it in her palm, “Eating this makes you smell nice.”
“Give it back,” Yang Hao worried that if Amanda ate it recklessly, something might go wrong.
“Stingy! I even helped you make the pot for free. Letting me eat one won’t kill you,” Amanda pouted unhappily.
“It’s not that… this stuff probably shouldn’t be eaten randomly,” Yang Hao actually wasn’t sure either, he just wanted to prevent problems before they happened.
Unexpectedly, Hunyuanzi was extremely generous, “Let the girl eat one. It won’t kill her…”
Amanda kept nagging, “I want to eat it. Who cares what you say!”
Yang Hao was annoyed by these internal and external voices and couldn’t be bothered to consider the consequences, waving his hand casually, “Fine, fine. Eat it if you want.”
Amanda was overjoyed, immediately putting the pill into her mouth. Sure enough, soon after, she displayed an expression of sweetness after bitterness. But after swallowing it, Amanda twisted her body back and forth, yet the fragrance that should have spread throughout her body didn’t appear.
“Why isn’t it working for me?” Amanda stared at Yang Hao, probably thinking he was secretly playing tricks.
But Yang Hao was full of injustice—he hadn’t done anything at all. Just as he was about to explain, he noticed something odd about Amanda. Her face, which had been washed clean today, was inexplicably turning red in waves. The air she exhaled was hot and scorching. A while later, even on her skin, large red patches began to appear.
“Amanda, are you okay?” Yang Hao panicked, thinking it was trouble caused by the pill.
“I feel kind of dizzy,” Amanda also sensed something wrong with her body. She could barely stand, holding her head and swaying unsteadily.
Yang Hao quickly helped Amanda lie down on the bed in the room. As soon as she lay down, Amanda was already drowsy, seemingly losing consciousness: “Hot… so hot… I’m going to die from the heat…” As she spoke, she pulled off her short top, revealing the bra supporting her ample chest.
Yang Hao quickly turned his face away, nervously asking, “Old Master Hunyuanzi, what side effects does that pill have exactly? Why is she like this after taking it?”
“The Longhu Dahuandan is the only pill among the auxiliary ones without side effects. Just relax,” Hunyuanzi’s voice remained calm.
“But how could Amanda be like this? Her whole body seems to be on fire, and she’s acting confused. Isn’t this a side effect?” Yang Hao was extremely anxious. After all, Amanda was his best friend at school, and she had devoted herself entirely to helping him refine the pills today. If something went wrong, Yang Hao feared he would feel guilty for life.
“How could this be a side effect?” Hunyuanzi continued pretending to be clueless, though his voice betrayed hard-to-hide smugness, “This is a normal reaction.”
Yang Hao noticed Amanda was already unconsciously tearing at her hot pants, nearly jumping up in anxiety, “How can this be normal? The normal reaction should be like mine—increased energy and emitting fragrance all over the body.”
Hunyuanzi chuckled slyly, “Of course, the medicinal effect of each pill varies for different people. What’s so strange about that?”
“What do you mean?” Yang Hao was puzzled and suspicious.
“You are a disciple of our Danding Shuangxiu Sect, filled with our sect’s true energy. Naturally, benefits come from taking the Longhu Dahuandan,” Hunyuanzi calmly explained, “But for those not from our sect, this pill will only exert its original effect.”
“Original effect?” Yang Hao was highly alert to Hunyuanzi’s cryptic words. He already had a bad premonition, “What was the original purpose of the Longhu Dahuandan?”
“You idiot! My clumsy apprentice,” Hunyuanzi laughed even more mysteriously, “Have you forgotten what name you gave our sect?”
“The aphrodisiac sect!” Yang Hao blurted out before suddenly realizing, “So this thing is actually an aphrodisiac!”
“Not just any aphrodisiac,” Hunyuanzi emphasized, “It’s an ultra-potent aphrodisiac.”
“And you still said it’s fine to eat!” Yang Hao was practically furious.
“It’s just an aphrodisiac, not poison. What’s the big deal if she takes a few?”
Yang Hao realized he really couldn’t reason with this old man. The key was that his thinking was completely different from normal people. Others regarded taking aphrodisiacs and going to bed as private matters, but Hunyuanzi seemed to treat it as something to be done publicly. He spoke casually with a lecherous tone, clearly not taking it seriously at all.
Amanda on the bed wasn’t doing well. She had already torn off her outer clothes by herself, yet sweat beads still exuded from her skin. She kept writhing like a beautiful snake. Amanda had an amazing figure—not only large-chested and slim-waisted, but also with well-proportioned long legs. Her twisting on the bed was truly tempting.
But Yang Hao had absolutely no intention of peeking. He was genuinely worried from the bottom of his heart, fearing Amanda might face severe consequences. Yang Hao already understood Hunyuanzi’s personality well enough to know that when this old man said something wasn’t serious, it often ended up costing someone their life.
“Tell me the truth! What adverse reaction will Amanda have after taking that pill?” Yang Hao was burning with anger, “If anything goes wrong, I’ll take poison myself and kill you too.”
