Chapter 224: The True Effect of the Body Advancement Elixir

Leicaen watched Ye Qingfeng’s retreating back and muttered to himself: This kid...

Once his figure vanished completely, he looked down at the tea leaves in his hand.

Huh? Still high-end tea leaves?!

As manager of Victoria Housekeeping, Leicaen may not be an expert in most things, but he had at least some familiarity with them all.

He understood tea ceremony as well.

The tea was expensive, yes, but actually getting your hands on it was the real challenge.

He himself had no interest in tea, but it made a fine gift for guests—or even the mayor.

How thoughtful.

[Ding! Leicaen's affection increased by 10%]

[Current affection: 15%]

Clearly, this had improved Leicaen’s first impression of Ye Qingfeng, compounded by his demeanor and appearance.

Leicaen’s first impression of Ye Qingfeng could easily reach eighty or even ninety points.

That didn’t stop him from being annoyed with Ye Qingfeng, and the reason was simple: when the hell did he start dating Ailian! (╬▔ Min ▔)

He had known nothing about this—if he hadn’t seen it today, he might never have found out...

“Lina, about Ailian?” Leicaen glared at Lina with a dark expression.

“Oh~ Since I’ve already accepted his gift, it wouldn’t be right for me to spill secrets,” Lina said, flipping through her book without looking up.

“No, I’m asking about Ailian,” Leicaen pressed again, unsure whether she truly didn’t understand or was pretending.

“Then ask Ailian yourself—how would I know?” Lina looked up and shrugged helplessly.

Then she floated away without looking back, leaving Leicaen standing there bewildered.

After just a cursory glance at the book’s contents, Lina already felt a significant boost in her culinary skills; let Leicaen sweat over those messy matters.

She intended to fully absorb these ten cookbooks before Fa’etong and Ye Qingfeng arrived.

Lina imagined the dishes she’d prepare, the cheers and applause from everyone—just thinking about it thrilled her!

The only downside was that Fa’etong himself wouldn’t be able to taste this deliciousness.

“Kelina, how much do you know about Ye Qingfeng...”

Seeing he wouldn’t get any clues from Lina, Leicaen turned to Kelina.

“Umm... Kelina knows nothing!” Kelina interrupted hastily, bowed apologetically, then turned and ran off, “Mr. Leicaen should ask Ailian!”

“......”

Leicaen watched Kelina run away and sighed helplessly; if he could avoid it, he truly didn’t want to ask Ailian—it felt like prying into someone else’s romantic relationship, so awkward...

But to get to the bottom of Ye Qingfeng, Leicaen gritted his teeth and turned his gaze toward Ailian’s direction.

Ailian, who had stood here not long ago, was now nowhere to be seen; he scanned the area but found no trace of her.

That fit his stereotype of Ailian—probably off lying in the break room.

If so, no rush... he’d observe her closely next time they met...

Meanwhile, Ye Qingfeng chased after them in the direction they’d left and soon spotted them not far ahead.

The group, led by Ies,

“Qingfeng, does your wound need bandaging?”

As they neared the exit, Anbi suddenly stopped, turning to stare fixedly at Ye Qingfeng.

Instantly, everyone’s attention turned to him, all faces filled with concern.

“Just a small cut—it’s almost healed already. Let’s keep moving,” Ye Qingfeng replied with a forced smile.

“Is that so...” Anbi murmured, saying no more.

Everyone exhaled in relief and turned back toward the exit.

Ye Qingfeng slowed his pace and lagged behind, slowly lifting his injured left hand—the smooth palm showed no trace of the cut.

Since the journey began, he’d felt a tingling in his palm; he’d instinctively checked, and the sight had left him stunned.

The thin gash had been healing visibly fast—but now he was caught between two sets of eyes.

Ahead, the Jiaotu House group and Ies watched him from nearby; behind, the four Victoria staff stared at his back.

Standing still too long would inevitably raise suspicion.

Ye Qingfeng could only set aside his questions for now and followed Ies toward the exit.

Only after Anbi finished asking about the wound did everyone’s attention shift fully—only then did he get a chance to examine the injury.

To his shock, the wound had completely healed—no scar, no trace left.

Two possibilities explained this.

First, Ailian’s saliva had healing properties—just imagine it.

Second, the Body Advancement Elixir!

From the initial Body Enhancement Elixir at the start of his transmigration, to now the Body Advancement Elixir.

Ye Qingfeng guessed the Body Enhancement Elixir had reached its limit, triggering the Body Advancement Elixir.

The name itself made the meaning clear.

It advanced one’s physical constitution—hence the accelerated wound healing.

Perfect!

As Ye Qingfeng pondered this in his mind, he unconsciously left Baille Building.

“Qingfeng, are you coming back with me to the video store?” Ies ran up to his side and tugged his pant leg.

“Back to the video store, then. Nico and the others probably won’t finish in a day or two—I’ll stay at your place for two days?” Ye Qingfeng winked at Ies, “Won’t that be a bother, Zhe?”

Far away at the video store, Zhe was about to refuse when Ling suddenly tugged his sleeve; he turned to see her.

Ling tilted her head playfully, palms pressed together, lips moving silently in a silent plea.

Big brother~ Please please please! You’re the best!

“O-K-A-Y! N-O T-R-O-U-B-L-E!” Zhe gritted out, word by word.

“Classic Zhe—big brother-in-law really knows how to be reasonable!” Ye Qingfeng grinned.

“Don’t call me big brother-in-law!! I haven’t approved your relationship with Ling yet!!”

Zhe slammed his fists on the table and roared.

Soon enough, when Zhe and Leicaen met, they’d surely bond over wanting to kill Ye Qingfeng...

Billy saw Ye Qingfeng chatting happily with the shop owner and didn’t want to interrupt; after asking about the Hollow’s exit, he led the two from Jiaotu House away.

Mostly because their current location was near the Hollow’s entrance—just a minute or two away; following Ies’s direction, they quickly left the Hollow.

Ye Qingfeng and Zhe remained where they were, bickering—though really, it was just Zhe losing his temper.

There was no help for it; compared to Ye Qingfeng, Zhe still cared too much about propriety and face.

By the end, Zhe was hoarse with rage and stormed off to get water, finally ending the scene.

Then Ling controlled Ies to lead Ye Qingfeng out of the Hollow, gave one final reminder, and severed the link: “See you soon, Qingfeng!”
