《Alluring Smile (Yāoráo De Wéixiào)》Chapter 7.2 "Venomous Person And Pills"
Advertisement
“Umm are you hungry?”
Like usual, Ah Fei replied her with a smile.
“Not really, it’s just that there’s this note that tells me to eat all of this food”
Jia Wan Wan clenched her teeth and closed her eyes in embarrassment, she then quickly ran inside. Ah Fei looked at what Jia Wan Wan bought and smile. the day still in the morning, Jia Wan Wan started to train on the front yard while Ah Fei watched her. She watched her train for hours, and realize what a disciplined person she was. While other people would practice move-set after move-set, Jia Wan Wan practised 1 move over and over again. She wouldn't stop until the move was "Perfect". Ah Fei watch her picked up a glass of water using only the tip of her sword, while she was standing with only 1 foot. Her body leaned towards the ground horizontally and she stretched out her hand to pick up the glass. If a drop of water got spilled, she would start over from the beginning. Ah Fei looked at Jia Wan Wan with a big smile on his face, it was rare to see a cultivator who trained the physical control rather than the spiritual Qi. Ah Fei then said something.
“Jia Wan Wan...”
Jia Wan Wan stopped her training and walked toward Ah Fei.
“Yes?”
Ah Fei moved his hand to search something in his pocket, he then grabbed a ring and wore it on his finger. Jia Wan Wan recognized that type of ring before.
“Is that a Void-Room Ring?” Asked Jia Wan Wan
Ah Fei smiled and nodded, Void-Room ring was a ring that enabled the wearer to store any objects as long the total weight of those objects not exceed 30Kg. Jia Wan Wan had seen many Cultivator has it, Lin Xia had that ring too, she thought to herself, it seemed that Ah Fei wanted to take out something, suddenly a white smoke came out from the ring, and a small white bottle suddenly appeared at Ah Fei hand. he took out a white pill from the small bottle.
“Here, eat this...”
“Umm... what is this?”
Ah Fei only smiled.
“Eat it first, then I will tell you what it is”
He laughed a bit.
“don’t worry it’s not poisoned”
Jia Wan Wan got embarrassed a little, to drink a mysterious pill was rather dangerous, but she felt that she could trust Ah Fei. she obeyed and drank the pill. Suddenly she felt like her spiritual Qi got replenish at an outstanding rate, she could feel the movement of her spiritual Qi rise, and she felt like she just got a years worth of training just by drinking this pill. She realized that this was not an ordinary supplement or medicine, she never tasted this kind of strength and power from 1 pill before. she quickly asked Ah Fei
“Ah Fei what is that pill..... “
Ah Fei smiled
“Do you know the Dragon’s Tear Pill?”
“....Dragon’s Tear Pill?”
Jia Wan Wan thought for a moment. she read about Dragon’s Tear pill before. its effect was to increase the progress of Spiritual Qi of the user, the pill was expensive and was hard to make, 1 of the pills could worth to 500 Tael! She was surprised, she never knew that the Dragon’s Tear pill had this much effect on one’s body. But after thinking a bit more, suddenly she realized that something was indeed weird.
“Yes, this is weird, this pill, although it has the same effect as the Dragon’s Tear pill, the effect is much more potent than what I read. I feel like I just done a year's worth of training just by eating it... hmm, I remember some document state that The Dragon’s Tear Pill is made from the rare Red Dragon Flower, then if one should make a pill from that flower, the colour should be red, not white” Though Jia Wan Wan

Jia Wan Wan looked at Ah Fei
“Ah Fei, that is not the Dragon’s Tears pill right? The Dragon’s Tears pill should be red in colour, and the effect is nowhere near this potent”
Ah Fei then smiled at Jia Wan Wan
“Smart! This pill is called The Heavenly Pearl Pill, the effects is the same as Dragon’s Tear Pill, but the effect is 4 times more potent than the Dragon’s Tears pill”
"*Gasp!"
Jai Wan Wan Gasped, first thing came to mind was how expensive this pill would be! She was shocked, she didn’t expect that this pill would be so amazing, and also so expensive! If the Dragon’s pill worth 500 Tael, then this one should worth 2000 tael! She didn’t know how to act, she already drank it, it felt like now she has a 2000 Tael worth of debt on her. For Jia Wan Wan who always lived in simplicity and low to middle economic class, it was hard to consume something so valuable. She felt like she had just made a mistake by taking the pill she looked at Ah Fei with a worried expression
"The Dragon's Tear Pills is already expensive, Thi... this pill should be 4 times more expensive, I...I don’t need these kinds of pill,”
Ah Fei smiled at her.
“Don’t worry, this pill is not worth 2000 Tael”
“!?..... then how much is this pill cost”
“Hmm.... don’t worry about it, it’s not that expensive”
Jia Wan Wan thought to herself, how could such an amazing pill not be that expensive! The price of 1 of those pills should be 2000 Tael minimum. Suddenly she realized that when Ah Fei said “this pill is not worth 2000 Tael” didn’t necessary means it would be less than 2000 Tael, a bottle of this pill was likely to be more expensive than that! She then realized that Ah Fei was from the Heavenly Blessing’s, the number one top Sect in the XinTang Dynasty. A Sect that the Emperor himself looked up to, she realized something.
"*Gasp!... it is not that the pill is cheap, it is him that is too rich!"
She looked at the happy, satisfied, smiling Ah Fei, and slowly said.
“Thank you for the pill, but next time I can’t accept it”
“Oh.... alright”
Said Ah Fei calmly
Jia Wan Wan thought to herself “Huh... he just accept it”, she saw Ah Fei with a confused looks, she thought Ah Fei was a forceful person, but it seems he was not always forceful. Jia Wan Wan felt a little bit of relieved, but that is until Ah Fei said this with a sad disappointed face.
"Then I don't think I can’t eat the food that you made anymore...”
Jia Wan Wan lost her calmness a bit, she closed her eyes and clench her teeth, she smiled, and thought to herself,
"just as expected!"
she then asked Ah Fei.
“Ah Fei, do you really won’t eat if I reject your offer?”
Ah Fei smiled at her and said.
“Hmmm.... no, I will eat eventually.....”
Jia Wan Wan felt relieved again for a bit. but then Ah Fei, who started to lean toward Jia Wan Wan, said this in front of her relieved face
“Because every day, I will try to make you drink these pill”
Jia Wan Wan face blushed a little, she closed her eyes and clenched her teeth a bit. She felt a little guilty, yet a little happy, this Ah Fei was truly forceful, he didn’t care about his own body, and did everything he likes. Jia Wan Wan too cannot blame Ah Fei intention, she knew he did this because he felt grateful, but she still couldn’t make herself to accepted such big reward.

Umm Ah Fei, I’m truly grateful, because of this... but, I won’t feel comfortable to accept all of this....”
“Oh..... do you want to do something for me?”
Jia Wan Wan was a bit surprised to hear that, this was the first time he actually asked something of her. A part of her mind was afraid that he would ask for something impossible, but another part of her was excited to hear what this heavenly Blessing member had to say. Ah Fei then said to her.
"Starting from today, I want you to only use my money, not yours”
Jia Wan Wan quickly looked at the ground for a moment, she should have known that his request would be something like this. Ah Fei was too kind, even though she too realized she couldn't afford to accommodate 2 people with her job right now, but she didn't want to burden Ah Fei anymore. Even though Ah Fei was a member of Heavenly Blessing Sect, he was not some kind of Division Leader or Sect Advisor, she didn't know how rich Ah Fei was. And even though a Heavenly Blessing member should be rich, money runs out eventually. she then said.
“Ah Fei, I can't let you spend more money, you already give me an expensive gift. I only treated your wound, it's petty to ask more, Umm... Can I do something else?”
Ah Fei looked at her with a concerned smile.
“Jia Wan Wan, if you still use your own money, I’ll make you poor, you’ve basically save my life, is my life only worth so much to you?”
Jia Wan Wan then finally agreed to accept Ah Fei offer with a little heavy heart, she felt a bit guilty but yet also happy. Ah Fei was indeed forceful, but he was kind toward her, and as the day passed to noon, Jia Wan Wan started to make food and medicine for A Fei. She never cooked for others before, usually with Lin Xia, they would go eat at restaurant or Inns because they travel a lot, Jia Wan Wan never cooked a dish for someone, she usually just eat alone anyway, but today she had to cook for 2 people. She didn’t know how much Ah Fei eats, so she prepared 6 plates of different dishes and a big bowl of rice.
“Ummm is this too much...well I don’t know his appetite so......”
Jia Wan Wan then brought all of the dishes to the terrace, the two of them then started to eat. Jia Wan Wan observed how Ah Fei eats, it seemed he was now having no trouble using his hand. Jia Wan Wan felt a little bit disappointed to not be able to feed him again, but she quickly shook her head and stop thinking about useless stuff like that. She just met Ah Fei yesterday, she still didn’t know anything about him, she still didn’t even know his real name yet, but she figured, the time will come. Both of them ate slowly with a smile on their faces, Jia Wan Wan enjoyed the noon together with him. She ate with her chopstick slowly and enjoyed every dish she made until Ah Fei suddenly said.
“Hmmm....So you like to eat a lot?”
“*Cough,*Cough”
Jia Wan Wan, grabbed some drink to calmed her down. Eating much food was indeed a little unwomanly, even though she did sometimes eat a lot, but in front of people like Ah Fei, she wouldn't want to show any stuff like that. She was worried, he might think of her as some kind of pig that eats a lot, she said.
“No, I... don’t know your appetite, so, I cook this much food....”
“Oh.... so you want me to finish all of this myself?”
Jia Wan Wan closed her eyes, thinking about how stupid she was to make a mistake like this. Of course a person as beautiful and elegant as him wouldn't eat much. She should have made 2 or 3 plates of dishes, but although Ah Fei said that stuff, he grabbed all of the dishes and put them in his bowl. he continued to eat and said
“Thank You very much......”
Jia Wan Wan saw how Ah Fei gracefully ate her cooking. She was happy that he enjoyed it, But she was even happier that she was not wrong to cook so much food for him. She thought that he would dislike it, But it seemed that her assumption was wrong. she looked at Ah Fei and said
"So you like to eat a lot?”
Ah Fei continued to eat while smiling
“No, truthfully this is too much, I only eat a little”
“!?”
“But, because you’re the one that cooks it, I want to finish all of it, and also, your food tastes delicious.....”
Jia Wan Wan didn’t know how to react except getting herself embarrassed. Her face got reddened and she ran to the kitchen. What did he meant when he said “Because you’re the one that cooks it, I want to finish all of it” Jia Wan Wan covered her face with her hand. She got way too happy because of this, she shouldn’t be this happy, it was not normal to be this happy. She calmed herself down and tried to think straight. Ah Fei was dangerous and venomous, if he was a bad person, she would surely get bewitched and forced to do nasty things. After she calmed down, she prepared the medicine soup and brought it to Ah Fei.
“Ah Fei, this is your medicine for this afternoon...”
Ah Fei then smiled like usual
“Thank you..”
He sipped the soup that Jia Wan Wan made, she then started to wonder about something and asked Ah Fei
“Umm.... Ah Fei, don’t you have any medicine on your Void-Room Ring?”
Ah Fei smiled and gave his reply
“I have, but this one taste better than the medicine I have.....”
Jia Wan Wan who had accustomed her heart for his attack smiled calmly. But she thought to herself if this continued she would fall eventually. and as the day started to darken, Jia Wan Wan started to paint. She had eaten the Heavenly Pearl Pill, so she didn’t have to train anymore for the day, and thus, she chose to continue to paint the E Mei mountain. While she was busy painting, Ah Fei looked at her from the terrace and asked her
“Jia Wan Wan, what state of Spiritual Qi are you at now?”

Of Gods and Dungeons
March 16, 2021 - Hiatus note: I will come back to this story! I'm really struggling with it, though. It's been a number of years and I kind of forgot what the original outline was. I still remember the main path, but not any of the details, because I stupidly didn't write an outline. Progress is being made. I'd like a very decent sized buffer before I start posting again. Don't want to get hopes up only to immediately disappoint! ----- Amy Barnes, an aspiring chemical researcher, finds herself dying from cancer. One of her most desperate prayers is answered in a way that she'd never dreamed possible, and she finds herself living a new life as a dungeon. Warning: Violence, morbidity Cover: Taken from here, courtesy of www.pexels.com by photographer @tookapic. Author's Note: I've read some dungeon core stories on here, and they've tickled my fancy. I've thought up a whole story, start to finish, and thought it'd be a blast to put it into words. Other than the violent and morbid aspects, this story is suitable for children. Aside from the vocabulary, that is. I will avoid the temptation to have any cursing, sexuality, or gore. Excessive gore, I suppose - it is a dungeon story, after all. I’ll do a little research from time to time, but this story will not have a great deal of rigor. I’ve made Amy’s knowledge comparable to my own for that reason. There’s a few things she knows more about than I do, and a few things that she knows less about. Unlike me, she doesn’t have access to Google - it’s a non issue for her to be more knowledgeable than me, on occasion :P This story does not use the same magic system that I’ve used in either Sorcery in Boston or A Summoner’s Confession. This one is mostly intention based, and designed to be easier access for people who are more used to the idea of, “It’s magic, therefore it works” kind of thinking. Do note that Amy is, in most senses of the term, overpowered. This goes along with the usual dungeon core stories. She’s not more powerful than other dungeons per se, but she does have knowledge and intelligence that puts them to shame. I thought about doing this in a LitRPG style, but systems take balance, and I wanted this to be pure fun to write.This story was inspired from a few sources. Despite the title, it wasn’t really inspired by Of Mice and Men, though some of the themes match. Rather, I’ve taken inspiration from a few dungeon core novels on Royal Road Legends for the main idea. Many conventions of dungeon core stories have been perverted from the genre, however. I’ve taken my usual science-loving self to town to play around with the powers, and I can only hope you have half as much fun reading this as I have had writing it.
