199: Taking the Elixir of Immortality

With over ten thousand summoned individuals deployed, Arthur now had absolute control over the Lionheart Kingdom; he could afford not to return for years, let alone a few weeks!

Seeing Arthur's confidence, Karona stopped trying to persuade him. After all, continuing to do so would imply distrust in Arthur's abilities, which was unnecessary.

Besides, Karona was already leaning towards enjoying the journey; she had only refused earlier for the sake of the bigger picture.

Therefore, Karona, whose attempts at dissuasion were unsuccessful, instead wore a smile:

"Alright, I'll listen to you. We'll enjoy the journey all the way back!"

Seeing the harmonious scene between the two, a few strands of envy flashed in Avril's eyes, unnoticed by others.

"Since you've decided to enjoy the sights and will be staying in Dawn City for a few days, let me be your guide during your time here!

After all, I grew up in Dawn City, and I guarantee you'll have fun!"

Avril had stayed in the Lionheart Kingdom for several years and knew Arthur quite well, understanding his potential, so she didn't miss any opportunity to build a good relationship.

She offered to be their guide!

Although Arthur's group already had Sunny, a local, Sunny was ultimately just a commoner.

Her understanding of Dawn City was certainly not as deep as Avril's.

Therefore, Arthur nodded and agreed to Avril's request:

"Alright, we'll rely on you for the next few days!"

"Don't worry, I'll definitely make sure you enjoy yourselves!"

Since the auction originally started at seven in the evening, by the time it ended, the time had reached nine o'clock at night.

It was getting late, so Avril left after escorting Arthur and the others back to the hotel!

"You should all return to your rooms and rest!"

Arthur instructed the group.

After returning to the hotel, Arthur was originally considering whether he should share a room with Karona tonight or with Olivia.

However, before Arthur, who was in his own room, could reach a conclusion, he heard a knock on the door. Arthur opened it and saw it was Karona.

Karona, Olivia, Arthur, and Doria were sharing a five-person suite.

Each person had one room, with one extra room remaining.

Since they were sharing a suite, it was almost impossible for Karona and Olivia to proactively visit Arthur at night, as there was a chance others might hear them.

Therefore, Arthur was somewhat surprised by Karona's initiative.

After Karona entered the room, she seemed a bit embarrassed and stammered for a long time before finally saying:

"Arthur, can I take a look at the immortality potion?"

Hearing this, Arthur finally realized Karona's objective.

Arthur wouldn't have auctioned the immortality potion at all if Karona and the others hadn't liked it so much.

This meant Arthur hadn't paid much attention to the item, and hadn't immediately given it to Karona and Olivia.

However, the immortality potion was extremely important to Karona, and she was eager to test its effects, which is why she came looking for him.

Arthur welcomed this, as he suddenly wanted to see the effects of the immortality potion too.

Especially the legendary beauty-enhancing effect—Arthur was highly anticipating it!

Karona would become more beautiful, and Arthur would enjoy it. How could he not look forward to it?

"Why just look? I checked it earlier, and the potion is fine. Just take it!"

Just as Arthur was about to take out the immortality potion, a knock sounded again.

He opened the door and saw it was Olivia.

At this point, Arthur could guess that Olivia had also come for the immortality potion.

When Olivia saw Karona in Arthur's room, she was momentarily stunned, but then quickly understood the reason.

"Sister Karona, did you also come for the immortality potion?"

Karona was not only older than Olivia but also married Arthur first, so the latter always referred to the former as 'Sister'.

"Yes. I didn't expect you to come too!"

"I couldn't help it. The immortality potion is too tempting, I couldn't wait until tomorrow!"

"Me too!"

Arthur had prepared one bottle of the immortality potion for each of the two women; there was no need to fight over it.

They had only come because they were both too eager to use the immortality potion.

Therefore, there was no awkwardness when the two women met, and they quickly embraced as usual.

Seeing how much Karona and Olivia valued the immortality potion, a thought suddenly popped into Arthur's mind!

Perhaps today he could finally accomplish something he had always wanted to do: Da Bei Tong Mian!

Thinking of this, Arthur became a little excited!

However, Arthur only had one portion of the immortality potion on him temporarily. Saying he had previously obtained a bottle at the auction was a lie, intended to set the stage for copying it now.

So, he immediately followed his plan and used the Portable Shop's replication function.

An additional item appeared in the Portable Shop.

"immortality potion: A potion created during ancient times by a queen who gathered the strength of her entire nation for the sake of her beauty. It is the Peak work of ancient Potion Masters!

Price: Ten million gold coins"

From the price tag in the Portable Shop, it was clear that the immortality potion was only worth ten million gold coins in the shop.

This implied that the normal price of the immortality potion in reality should be one hundred million gold coins!

Unfortunately, since the formula was lost, its price was far from normal!

Having finished the replication, Arthur immediately took out two bottles of the immortality potion from his space ring and handed them to the two women.

"To be honest, I'm also very curious about the effects of the immortality potion. Hurry up and take them!"

"Mhm!"

The two women were even more eager than Arthur to see the effects of the immortality potion, so they said nothing more.

"The immortality potion has a beauty-enhancing effect, and it should temper the Impurities in your bodies. The scene might get a little messy afterward.

So, it's best to prepare before taking the potion!"

Saying this, Arthur immediately created an obsidian pool several square meters large in the room.

Although Arthur's Battle Qi was not Fire attribute, heating water was not a problem through the application of energy.

Soon, a pool of hot water was ready!

"My two wives, I'll leave the rest to you. I'll wait outside, looking forward to the effects of the immortality potion on you!"

Perhaps driven by the thought of Da Bei Tong Mian, Arthur was full of vigor while doing all this!

Soon, only Karona and Olivia remained in what was originally Arthur's room.

Knowing Arthur was right, the two women quickly stripped off their clothes, entered the pool, and swiftly consumed the long-awaited immortality potion.

The potion's effects were obvious; just seconds after consuming it, the two women felt a floating sensation in their bodies.

The primary effect of the potion—eternal youth—was not particularly evident on the two women.

After all, both Karona and Olivia were around twenty years old, the prime of their beauty.

However, the secondary effect of the potion—enhancing appearance—was quite obvious!

A few minutes after taking the immortality potion, the two women's facial features hadn't visibly changed, yet they became more harmonious and perfect!

Their skin also became whiter and tenderer. If their skin was previously described as being warm and moist like white jade, now there was no word to describe it!

One could only say it was flawless!
