Chapter 518: Causing Trouble Again

Late at night, at the rooftop of a skysc.r.a.per.

Tang Hao sat cross-legged in front of an alchemical furnace.

Fire was burning brightly in the furnace.

Various medicinal herbs were spread out in front of Tang Hao. He threw the herbs into the furnace one by one. The fires in the furnace distilled the herbs into droplets of medicinal liquid.

After that, he fused the liquid into a pill-embryo as big as a marble.

The final step was to refine the pill-embryo into a pill.

About ten minutes later, he gently cupped his hands. A beam of light shot out from the furnace and onto his palm.

The pill in his palm was glistening white and about as big as a longan. It seemed to have a light aura around it and emanated a soothing herbal fragrance.

That was a Jade Bone Pill.

The first pill that he successfully made was a Jade Bone Pill too.

Jade Bone Pills were not hard to make. With Tang Hao’s mastery of pill-making, he could make them with a one-hundred percent success rate.

With the herbs he gathered, he had more than ten portions of medicinal herbs to be made into Jade Bone Pills.

The pill was suitable for female use. Once taken, the person would see a transformation in their skin, flesh, and bone. Not only would their skin be more fair and delicate, but it would also release a unique fragrance. Its miraculous effects are on a different level than Bingji Beauty Cream.

“One, two, three… fifteen pills! That’s quite a lot!”

Tang Hao mumbled as he counted the Jade Bone Pills he made that night.

“Let’s see. Sis Xiangyi already took one, and she won’t need any more… Officer Zhao? I’ll give her one! I think President Ling would need one too. Right, and Yan’er…”

After exhausting his list of female friends, there were still a few pills left.

“Never mind. I can keep the extras and sell them later!

“How much should I sell them for? They should be at least tens of millions each, right? This is a very rare treasure!”

After breakfast the next morning, he sent Qin Xiangyi to her factory, then he went to his company.

He met Han Yutong at the entrance of the office building.

Han Yutong was walking toward the building on high heels. She was as attractive as usual, dressed in a light jacket, a miniskirt, and black stockings.

Her presence attracted many pairs of eyes.

However, she seemed to be in low spirits. Her brows were furrowed, and she yawned repeatedly.

“Chairman Tang!”

Her eyes sparkled when she saw Tang Hao.

“You didn’t sleep well last night?” Tang Hao asked.

“Yes. I slept at about one o’clock because I was preparing some spreadsheets. Oh, there’s a lot of work lately. I’m exhausted!” Han Yutong complained.

“Thank you for your hard work!” Tang Hao said with a smile.

They entered the building as they chatted.

“Chairman!” The workers bowed at Tang Hao and greeted him.

Tang Hao nodded at them. Then, he glanced at Han Yutong. “Your skin doesn’t look too good either.”

“Oh, is that so?”

Han Yutong was taken aback. She took out a hand mirror from her handbag and looked at her face. Her expression sank after that. “You’re right. My skin looks rough. It’s all because I’ve stayed up at night.

“Ah! I forgot to use the beauty cream. I should have used it more often.”

“It’s OK!” Tang Hao said with a smile, “I’ll give you something later.”

“What is it?” Han Yutong was surprised.

“It’s good stuff!” Tang Hao answered.

When they arrived at the top floor and stepped out of the elevator, Tang Hao handed Han Yutong a small box. “This is for you. It’s more amazing than the beauty cream.”

“There’s something more amazing than the beauty cream?” Han Yutong was surprised.

“Wow!” She exclaimed as she took the box and opened it.

“What’s this?”

“This is called a pill. It’ll make you more beautiful,” Tang Hao replied.

“A pill? You mean like an alchemical or magical pill?” Han Yutong asked.

“Something like that, but it’s not quite a magical pill yet. It’s only for beauty purposes, and it’s called a Jade Bone Pill. Your skin and bones will transform after taking it,” Tang Hao explained.

“It’s that amazing?” Han Yutong’s eyes widened. She seemed excited.

She did not doubt what Tang Hao said. “Are you sure… you want to give it to me?”

“Take it! Treat it as a reward for working so hard,” Tang Hao said.

Han Yutong was overjoyed as she held the box.

“Thank you, Chairman Tang! You’re the bestest boss in the world!” Her eyes were smiling and narrowed into beautiful crescents.

She tiptoed, leaned close to Tang Hao, and delivered a light kiss on his cheek.

Tang Hao was shocked. Meanwhile, Han Yutong chuckled happily and jogged back into her office.

“She’s getting more and more unruly,” Tang Hao grumbled, “It’s not good if someone else sees that!”

After that, he seemed to have remembered something and quickly caught up to her. “Don’t take it now. When you’ve gone off work, remove all your clothes and take the pill in the bathtub.”

“Huh?” Han Yutong was confused. “Why do I need to take off my clothes?”

“Your body will experience some changes after you take the pill, and you’ll dirty your clothes,” Tang Hao explained, “Remember that?”

“Oh!” Han Yutong nodded, though she did not seem to fully understand.

Tang Hao returned to his office to take care of some official business.

It was soon eleven o’clock.

Tang Hao sat there and thought for a while, then picked up his phone and gave Ma Fangfang a call.

Firstly, he wanted to give her a Jade Bone Pill. Secondly, he also wanted to ask her about her grandfather’s situation.

It had been seven months since Tang Hao gave her grandfather the medical pill. Tang Hao estimated that the effects would wear off in a month at most.

‘Grandpa Shunde must be having health problems by now!’

The call was picked up a while later.

“I’m so sorry! I was busy just now and I didn’t see…” Ma Fangfang said apologetically. Her voice was as sweet as usual.

“Tang Hao…” She called her name, then quickly changed her greeting, “No, I should call you Chairman Tang!”

She chuckled after that.

Tang Hao also laughed. “You don’t have to be that polite!”

“I’ll have to. Your status… is different now,” Ma Fangfang joked.

She continued, “Right, is there anything? It’s not like you usually call me!”

She sounded resentful as she spoke the last sentence.

“I’d like to ask how your grandfather has been. If you’re free later, we can have lunch together,” Tang Hao said.

Ma Fangfang was silent.

“What’s wrong?”

“Grandpa’s health has deteriorated recently. He’s almost at the mortal limit you mentioned,” Ma Fangfang said with some difficulty.

“Oh, I see…” Tang Hao said.

Ma Fangfang smiled. “Our family is very grateful for what you have done. Grandpa has been very happy in the past few months.”

“That’s good to know!” Tang Hao said.

“Ah, right, there’s something that I want to tell you. I hope it won’t trouble you too much,” Ma Fangfang said after being silent for a while.

“Oh, what is it?” Tang Hao said, surprised.

“It’s my uncles and aunts again. They’re causing trouble again. I’ll tell you the details over lunch,” Ma Fangfang said.

“Alright!” Tang Hao replied.
