137: This is truly something I've never seen before.
"Young Master must be joking. It wasn't that I intentionally eavesdropped, it's just that there was quite a bit of noise last night."
"I didn't get a wink of sleep all night. Look, even my dark circles have come out."
"However, as an apology, today's meal is on me," the Shopkeeper quickly added.
Looking at the Shopkeeper's dark circles, Duan Zhengchun confirmed his statement.
Because he noticed that even the Waiter looked listless, wiping tables and chairs with dark circles under his eyes.
Duan Zhengchun didn't say anything more. He gave a few instructions for the things he needed before heading upstairs.
As soon as Duan Zhengchun went upstairs, the Waiter approached the Shopkeeper and whispered.
"Shopkeeper, this Young Master is too impressive, isn't he? Today he actually looks like nothing happened at all."
"In my opinion, he must be a Martial Forest Master."
"Why are you prying? Whether he's a Martial Forest Master or not, judging by his clothes, he's no ordinary person."
"Don't pry into the affairs of the Jianghu; just do your duty."
"Hurry up and prepare things for the guest. If you're negligent, see how I'll deal with you," the Shopkeeper said with a stern Face.
The Waiter shrunk his neck, not daring to say anything more, and quickly went to boil bath water.
Gan Baobao got up and washed. After eating, her complexion looked much better than before, but some unnaturalness could still be seen.
"This is a dà huán dān. You should be fine after taking it." Duan Zhengchun took out a dà huán dān and handed it to Gan Baobao.
Upon hearing the name dà huán dān, Gan Baobao's expression changed instantly.
She looked at Duan Zhengchun in shock.
"Brother Duan, you aren't lying to me, are you? This is a dà huán dān?"
"Why would I lie to you? What benefit would there be? Whether it's real or not, won't you know once you eat it?" Duan Zhengchun said with a straight Face.
"Mm, that's true..."
Gan Baobao nodded, took the dà huán dān, and swallowed it directly.
Soon, Gan Baobao felt something was different. She immediately sat cross-legged and circulated her Cultivation Technique to begin absorbing the medicinal power.
An hour later, Gan Baobao opened her eyes. Feeling the changes in her body, her eyes sparkled.
Because she discovered that in just this short while, she had not only recovered her full strength but also achieved a Breakthrough; now, her strength had reached the Innate Early Stage.
"Heavens, it really is a dà huán dān, and the effect is surprisingly good."
"Brother Duan, thank you. Truly, if it weren't for you, I wouldn't know when I'd be able to Breakthrough to the Xiantian Realm," Gan Baobao said excitedly.
"Not bad. Originally, I thought this dà huán dān would be good enough if it let you Breakthrough to the First-Class Peak. I didn't expect your Aptitude to be so good that you actually broke through to the Xiantian Realm," Duan Zhengchun said with a smile.
"Heehee... This is all thanks to you, Brother Duan. If not for you, how could I have had the chance to Breakthrough to the Xiantian Realm so quickly?"
"This is the Realm I've always dreamed of," Gan Baobao said with a smile.
"Mm, as long as you're satisfied," Duan Zhengchun nodded.
"Of course I'm satisfied. But this is all thanks to Brother Duan..." Gan Baobao's cheeks flushed slightly, and as she spoke, her whole body leaned against him.
Gan Baobao never dreamed that she would one day possess such strength. This was a dà huán dān, something so many people dreamed of.
Just like that, it was obtained by her. She felt as if it were all a dream.
Fortunately, it was all real. Gan Baobao felt that she was the happiest woman in the world.
"What kind of people are they? Like this every night—don't they know fatigue? Won't they let anyone sleep?"
"Truly a long-awaited sight."
"However, this young man's combat power is really not ordinary."
"He's truly a role model for our generation."
"Get lost, this is just too frustrating. No, I can't take it anymore."
"I don't want to let my ears suffer here anymore either."
In the inn Shopkeeper's room, the Shopkeeper covered his ears with a depressed look, hiding under the covers.
Unlike the Shopkeeper, his wife's Face was blushing, but there was even more excitement.
He was now very worried whether his wife would get a bit carried away and not let go of him.
Then he would be unlucky today. However, things went against his wishes; sometimes, the more you fear something, the more it happens.
"Old man, get up, I have something to ask you."
"What is it? Not sleeping in the middle of the night? Hurry up and rest, we still have to do business tomorrow," the Shopkeeper said impatiently.
"What kind of reaction is this? I told you to get up, didn't you hear me?"
The Shopkeeper felt so angry in his heart. He really didn't know what sin he had committed to encounter such a pair of banes.
Can't you two pay attention to the impact? Are you even going to let people rest?
"Oh, I've been busy all day. You aren't busy, you aren't tired, but I am."
"I have to continue working tomorrow. Do you want to close the business tomorrow? When that time comes, you won't have those gold jewelry anymore." The Shopkeeper, helpless, could only bring out his trump card.
He knew that his wife loved jewelry.
Every time he encountered her unreasonable temper, as long as he used this move, it worked every time.
Sure enough, hearing the Shopkeeper's words, the wife immediately deflated.
"Fine, for the sake of your hard work, I won't make things difficult for you today. But if you ever dare to act like this again, don't blame me for not giving you Face."
"Yes, yes, yes, what the Madam says is right. Alright, hurry up and rest," the Shopkeeper said helplessly.
Seeing that his wife finally stopped dwelling on the matter, the Shopkeeper breathed a sigh of relief.
It seems he would have to find an opportunity to get some medicine later; otherwise, if he were discovered, it would truly be the end.
