It was only natural for Old Ye to have such thoughts after seeing the grand structures around the city.
When he looked around the room, his eyebrows furrowed in displeasure.
As Emperor Dao, how could he tolerate living in a house that was inferior to his worship temples in the immortal world?"
"Grandpa, how do you intend to get the money to build a new house?" Jenny asked with a face filled with concern, apart from selling vegetables in the market, Old Ye doesn't have any means of income.
Seeing the concern on her face, Old Ye shook his head and retorted, "Sell vegetables? Why would I ever do such a thing? This Lord has no interest in selling vegetables, you shouldn't worry about how I will get the money; I will think of a way." After dismissing Jenny's concern, he said, "Before I forget, here is the beauty pill, take a bath the moment you swallow it."
He opened his palm, revealing a blue pill. Jenny hesitated before receiving it.
Old Ye left the living room for the kitchen, and immediately he handed the pill to Jenny.
"Can this be eaten?" Jenny asked with a doubtful facial expression; the pill was the size of her smallest finger.
"Grandpa gave such a pill to the taxi driver that brought us home earlier," John responded, reminding Jenny about the taxi driver who gave them a free ride during the day.
Jenny's fear wasn't unfounded; she had lived with her grandfather for years, and she had never seen him talk about medicine or even show any interest in discussing herbs.
Taking a deep breath, she opened her mouth and shut her eyes tightly. Her facial expression twisted as she threw the blue into her mouth.
A blissful expression crossed her face as she began to savour the taste of the blue pill.
John curiously observed his sister's expression. Suddenly, an awful smell assaulted his nostrils, prompting him to instinctively cover his nose with his fingers.
When Jenny opened her eyes, a longing expression appeared on her face. She didn't realise that her entire body was coated with dark dirt when she asked John, "How did I look now?"
"Big sister, you should go and take your bath; you don't look too good," John said uncomfortably.
Jenny looked at her arm and saw the dark dirt that coated it. She let out a shriek and scurried away, and John burst into laughter over his sister's reaction.
Old Ye didn't know the commotion that his blue pill had 'caused, he was in the kitchen looking around with a gloomy face.
He didn't expect the former Old Ye to be so poor that he didn't even have fresh vegetables in his kitchen, there was no fish in the freezer or even meat, apart from the gas cooker and electric stoves, with plates and pots, and a few electronics Old Ye was curious about, he would have cursed the former Old Ye five hundred times.
"How can you be poor to this extent?" Old Ye said gloomily. Feeling disgusted, he looked into the freezer once again and saw a can of coca-cola. He stared at it for some time.
"So this is drinkable." From the former Old Ye's memories, he knew what it was, picking it up, he said, "Is this sweeter than my former monkey wine?"
Opening the canned coca-cola, he gulped the entire can into his stomach, and a feeling of satisfaction appeared on his face.
"Not bad," Old Ye commended.
After looking around the kitchen for some time, he turned around and left feeling irritated. There was no way he would manage to whip up a meal with those things he found there.
Coming out of the kitchen, he was just in time to see Jenny, who had taken her bath. If Jenny was formerly a beauty before taking the blue pill, she had become an existence-like goddess with her looks, her skin was so fair and tender that there was no blemish; she underwent an earth-shaking change in every part of her body.
John was so shocked that his mouth was left open wide as he saw Jenny. Seeing John's reaction, Emperor Dao, who had ruled over the immortal world for billions of years, was brimming with joy and satisfaction. This was the first time he was satisfied with what he had done.
"How do I look?" Jenny was unsure; she felt like John's reaction was too unrealistic. She touched her face instinctively and was shocked at how soft it was.
"Sister, you have become exceedingly beautiful; I won't follow you out for shopping anymore." John sighed, feeling disheartened. Whenever he goes out with his sister, many young men will approach her. Now that she has become more beautiful, is that not asking for more trouble?
Old Ye frowned when he heard what John said. He lectured, "If you want to follow her wherever she goes shopping, just do it, no one is going to stop you. If you think you are not good-looking enough, I will give you a pill."
John's eyes lit up, and he asked, baffled, "Do men also take beauty pills?"
Before Old Ye could answer the question, the entrance door creaked open, and Hayden walked in. He was the fourth grandson of Old Ye. Old Ye had eleven grandchildren; four were girls and the rest were boys.
"Fourth brother" John forgot about the beauty pill and called out excitedly. He was surprised to see him back early; it was still 7 p.m., and Hayden usually returns home at 9 p.m. from work.
Hayden smiled, patted John's head, then looked up and saw Jenny. A sigh of relief escaped him. He returned home immediately when he heard the news of Anderson's family treason act. The news was everywhere in social media, newspapers, and television.
Hayden ran back home, fearing that his sister had been implicated. He was relieved to see her home.
He turned and was shocked to find a very handsome young man standing beside Jenny.
"Who are you?" Hayden asked instinctively; he didn't like pretty boys from his reaction; in his eyes, they were all playboys.
