My Cold and Ruthless CEO Wife-Chapter 25: Body Refining

Inside a silent villa, Huang Yin stared at the photograph in his hand, his eyes burning with killing intent.

"So this is the young man who likely killed my son?" he asked, turning to the butler standing beside him.

"Yes, master. When I investigated what happened last week, I found out that the young master had offended this young man, trying to show off his wealth, but it backfired on him. To settle the grudge, the young master sent seven men against him..."

Huang Yin turned to the butler when he saw him pause.

"Continue... is there anything wrong?"

"Yes, master. The seven men chased him into an alley. We don’t know what happened there, but the seven men came out first. Then the young man walked out unharmed. After that, the young master was attacked by the seven men again."

The butler explained everything. If Long Tian were here, he would have been surprised that everything had been fully exposed.

"So it seems the seven men my son sent turned their backs and killed him, possibly committing suicide after the act. It looks like this young man isn’t ordinary," Huang Yin said while looking at Long Tian in the photograph.

His eyes burned with anger, hatred, and killing intent.

It took a lot of effort for him to calm down.

"So what’s the background of this young man?" he asked coldly. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝚠𝚎𝚋𝗻𝗼𝕧𝗲𝐥.𝚌𝚘𝐦

The butler sensed the heavy killing intent and shivered. He knew his master’s hatred for this person had grown to the point of insanity.

"Uncertain, master. It feels as if he appeared out of thin air. The only information I have about him is that he works at Glacier Crown Corporation as an ordinary employee, and his last appearance was at an antique market."

"Appeared out of thin air?" Huang Yin raised his eyebrows and asked.

"Yes, master. From his birth until he met the young master, all information about him seems nonexistent, or perhaps it has been concealed," the butler replied.

Huang Yin frowned. This was a bit tricky—unknown background, identity and strength.

"Humph, that won’t stop me. Anyone who kills my son will face my wrath, even if you are the son of God," he snorted.

He turned to the butler and said,

"From the looks of it, the young man might be a martial artist. For now, we’re still uncertain. Put a bounty on his head to gauge his strength. If he gets killed, that’s our luck."

"Yes, master," the butler nodded and disappeared into the shadows.

Huang Yin looked at the photo before him and smirked.

"Young man, since you dared to kill my son, I will make sure you regret ever being born into this world."

Long Tian reached home, unaware that someone had already placed a bounty on his head.

He opened the door and entered. Aunt Anna was surprised to see joy all over his face for the first time.

She looked at him, curious about what had made him so happy.

"Good evening, Aunt Anna," he greeted.

"Welcome, sir. How was work? Should I serve your dinner?" she asked.

"Didn’t go to work. I had some things to deal with. Also, for dinner, I’ll eat later after I’m done with what I want to do," he said.

"What about Meng Lingxue? Has she eaten?" he asked.

"Yes, the young miss has eaten. She is in her room," she replied.

He nodded while walking up the stairs.

"Oh yeah, before I forget. I will be using the kitchen. I’ll need the largest pot you have."

Aunt Anna was confused by his words and what he intended to do with them.

Nevertheless, she nodded as she watched him enter his room.

Long Tian took a quick shower before settling down.

He waved his hand, and all the herbs he had brought appeared on the bed.

He nodded when he saw they were complete and intact.

He had stored them in the Nine Dragon Space, and according to its function, it could preserve herbs for more than two years.

He had bought all the herbs they had in stock, telling the young lady that they should stock more by tomorrow because he would buy more.

After extracting the formula of the pill—the Body Refining Pill—he realized that due to the lack of an alchemy furnace, he would have to do it the traditional way and create a liquid version of the pill.

He returned the herbs to the Nine Dragon Space and headed downstairs to the kitchen.

First, he made sure he ate his dinner because he would require energy.

Thankfully, Aunt Anna had left plenty of food for him, which he ate completely.

After he was done, he began the refining process.

He brought out the herbs and took the largest pot that Aunt Anna had left for him.

The important herbs were Iron Body Grass, Blood Essence Herb, Bone Strength Root, Golden Lotus, and Tiger Tendon Vine.

All the others, apart from these five, were supplementary.

He lit the gas cooker and slowly placed the pot on it.

Pouring a certain quantity of water, he waited until it began steaming while arranging the herbs.

Soon, the quiet kitchen was filled with the faint sound of boiling water as thin streams of steam began rising from the pot.

As the water heated up, a faint herbal fragrance slowly spread through the kitchen.

When the water had boiled, he reduced the gas cooker fire to the lowest setting.

He first placed the Iron Body Grass, which was harder to boil than the rest.

The moment the Iron Body Grass entered the boiling water, the clear liquid slowly began turning dark green.

Long Tian’s eyes were calm as he carefully controlled the heat. Every step had to be precise, or the medicinal properties of the herbs would be ruined.

Meanwhile, as Long Tian was busy preparing the medicinal liquid, the underworld was already in an uproar. A bounty had been placed on someone, and the reward was beyond attractive.

Everyone looked at the young man they were hunting, each with their own thoughts, racing to claim the reward.

In a silent villa, Huang Yin heard the feedback from the butler and grinned.

"Now let your hell begin."

His malicious laughter broke the silence of the villa.

Long Tian continued preparing the medicinal liquid, unaware that his quiet life was about to be disrupted.
