Chapter 460: Gifted Pill

Ye Mo initially planned to negotiate with Han Zaixin, offering the blueprint in exchange for help with his territorial issues. However, he changed his mind; if the blueprint was truly valuable, why trade it? He’d keep it.

Leaving Han Zaixin, Ye Mo went to Ning Hai to bring his sister, Tang Beiwei, to Flowing Snake.

“Brother!” Tang Beiwei, returning home, saw Ye Mo in the garden. She was overjoyed.

Ye Mo saw Tang Beiwei had reached Stage 2, middle level, and was pleased. Noticing plastic bags, he asked, “You went shopping?”

Tang Beiwei blushed and nodded, then changed the subject. “Brother, come inside. I’ve repotted the Silver Heart Grass.”

Ye Mo followed. The new pot was larger, and the Silver Heart Grass thrived. She’d clearly devoted much time to it.

“Beiwei, you moved the Purple Heart Vine too?” Ye Mo noted.

Tang Beiwei smiled. “Yep. What do you think? I was going to move the Blue Flower Blue Leaf Grass, but you said it needed a formation, so I left it.”

Ye Mo patted her head. “Growing beautifully.”

“Me, or the grass?” Tang Beiwei teased.

Ye Mo, surprised by her playful side, touched his nose. “Both.”

Pausing, Ye Mo said, “Beiwei, you know Luo Yue is mine, right? I’m taking you to Flowing Snake. I worry about you here alone.”

Ye Mo was glad to see Tang Beiwei’s brighter mood. She’d been depressed since Tang Jing’s death; this was good for her cultivation. Though she liked peace and quiet, a girl in her early twenties living with nuns worried him—it was too isolating. Luo Ying fared better, cultivating the Tranquility Cultivation Method, but Tang Beiwei only practiced what Ye Mo taught her.

Tang Beiwei exclaimed, “Brother, Luo Yue is really yours? I knew you were involved, but I didn’t expect it! My brother’s super rich!”

“My little treasure hunter, let’s go to Flowing Snake. You can count money daily.” Ye Mo ruffled her hair.

Unexpectedly, Tang Beiwei fell silent, then said, “Brother, I like a peaceful life. Serenity was good; Mother was there. But I missed you, so I left. I like this place; you lived here before.”

“Stupid girl, don’t be like those nuns. You’ll marry someday. Besides, it’s lonely here.” Ye Mo was happy to see her change.

Tang Beiwei pouted. “I’m not marrying anyone. And I’m not alone. Jingwen moved in. Sister Yunbing and Ting Ting visit often.”

“Su Jingwen?” Ye Mo said. “Her house is in Ning Hai. Why’d she move? Where is she?”

“Jingwen loves it here, and I was lonely, so she moved in. A reporter interviewed her today, so she—” Before she finished, Su Jingwen entered with a bag.

“Huh? Ye Mo, you’re back?” Su Jingwen looked surprised.

Ye Mo smiled. “Jingwen, long time no see.”

“Yes, it has been.” Su Jingwen had longed to see him, but now, she was speechless.

Tang Beiwei, sensing the awkwardness, fetched chairs.

“Sister Jingwen, what did the reporter ask?” Tang Beiwei broke the silence.

Su Jingwen glanced at Ye Mo. “My friend, Xiao Lei; Ye Mo knows her. She wanted to interview my father, but he wasn’t there, so she interviewed me. It’s about my uncle, Su Heng, a former Xi Tong mayor, who was framed and supposedly committed suicide. The truth came out, and Xiao Lei’s doing a special report.”

Ye Mo hadn’t expected this connection. From Su Jingwen’s eyes, he knew Xiao Lei had told her everything.

Su Jingwen relaxed after a while.

“Ye Mo, Luo Yue in Flowing Snake is yours?” Su Jingwen asked, realizing that if it weren’t, Fei Yu wouldn’t have been chosen.

“Brother, you’re amazing! I saw the news; Yuan Bei Corporation is shameless! By the way, Brother, do you have more face-preserving pills? Give one to Sister Jingwen. The beauty pill she bought is expensive!” Tang Beiwei realized her words might be inappropriate. She’d had one and knew how good it was. She didn’t know the face-preserving pill was on a whole different level.

Ye Mo felt awkward. He had many, but was waiting for their value to increase. He'd told Mo Kang to sell only a few. After a few years, their value would be far greater than a few hundred million.

His sister’s request put him in a difficult position. Giving her something this expensive wasn't excessive given their relationship.

Su Jingwen saw his awkwardness and felt sad. She knew it was expensive, but with Ye Mo's wealth, it shouldn't matter. It wasn't the pill itself, but his attitude that mattered.

Ye Mo sensed Su Jingwen’s feelings. Remembering her help and their friendship, he produced a pill and gave it to her. “It’s similar to the beauty pill. Haha, Beiwei wouldn’t have reminded me.”

Su Jingwen was delighted; it wasn't the pill, but his willingness to give it to her that mattered. It showed special treatment.

A fresh aroma emanated from the pill. Su Jingwen knew it far surpassed the beauty pill. It was probably worth hundreds of thousands; if she knew she couldn’t buy it even if she sold her company, she wouldn’t be so calm.

Ye Mo urged, “Eat it quickly; it loses potency.”

She took it; it melted instantly. She felt changes in her body, and impurities seemed to seep from her skin. Tang Beiwei explained, “Impurities will be expelled. Take a shower.”

After Su Jingwen left, Tang Beiwei whispered, “Brother, was I too rash? That pill must be very expensive.”
