Chapter 359 - 359 The Supreme Emperor Pill

359 The Supreme Emperor Pill

Shen Fei walked into the courtyard after he left the cultivation room.

“Lord Mayor, this is the supreme emperor pill you wanted.” Shen Fei said as soon as he arrived at the courtyard. He procured the porcelain bottle and presented it to the mayor.

When he tipped out the supreme emperor pill from the bottle, Edward’s eyes widened in surprise. “This really is the supreme emperor pill! ”

Such quality!

Shen Fei smiled and nodded. “Yes, Lord Mayor. Please have a look. ”

Edward began examining the supreme emperor pill to examine it carefully.

“As expected of an imperial-grade pill. It smells very nice.”

“Of course.”

“Hahaha, you are indeed the future son-in-law that I have put my faith in. I’ll leave this supreme emperor pill to you,” Edward said with a smile.

He knew that ordinary alchemists were not willing to sell medicinal pills like this. The effect of the supreme emperor pill was too astounding, and it was relatively difficult to refine.

Shen Fei shook his head and smiled. “I promised you that I would refine this pill for you. How could I accept it? Lord Mayor, please take it.”

“Sigh, you will become my only son-in-law. What’s wrong with giving you the pill?” Edward spoke firmly.

When Shen Fei heard this, he fell silent. After a long time, he gave a small sigh. “Alright, since you insist, I’ll accept it.”

Edward smiled in satisfaction. “Good.”

As he spoke, he sized up Shen Fei.

“Richard did well to raise such a good grandson like you!” Edward sighed. ‘If Richard was still alive, he would have been very happy.’

Shen Fei smiled faintly. “Lord Mayor, you flatter me.”

Edward suddenly took out a letter from his pocket and handed it to Shen Fei. “This letter is for you.”

“What is this?” Shen Fei asked curiously as he reached out to take the letter.

“Your grandfather gave this to me before he died. I’m delivering it to you now.”

Shen Fei was stunned, and his expression suddenly became sorrowful.

“Lord Mayor, I…”

Edward waved her hand. “It’s not your fault. Your grandfather’s will said that if you survived your tests, I should give it to you.”

“Thank you.” Shen Fei nodded and opened the letter.

After reading the words on it, Shen Fei’s eyes gradually turned red and tears threatened to flow out. His expression was solemn as he read the letter. Finally, his gaze fell on the words at the end of the letter.

When he saw the flamboyant words on it, Shen Fei gripped the letter tightly. ‘Grandfather…’

Shen Fei looked up at Edward and said, “Lord Mayor, I’ll take my leave first.”

“Alright, go ahead.” Edward nodded.

Shen Fei bowed to Edward again and left. He did not dare stay, afraid that he would not be able to hold back his tears…

After returning to the Shen residence, Shen Fei could not wait to open the letter again.

[Fei, I’ve really let you down. All the big families are pressuring us, and now our family is in danger. I had hoped that on the day you grow into a man, I would be able to see you grow with my own eyes, see you make contributions, see you get married and have children. I regret that I could not be there for you when you will no doubt need me most when you are older.

[And I also regret that I won’t get to watch you find love, nor will I see you get married one day.]

“Grandpa, I’m sorry.” After reading the letter, Shen Fei knelt on the ground and cried.

‘Grandfather, Father, Mother, I will live well, and live for the Shen family! Don’t worry, Grandpa, I’ll definitely avenge you. I won’t let the Shen family down!’

Shen Fei wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, folded the letter, and tucked it away. He vowed to keep the letter on him at all times.

“Father, Mother, when are you coming back…” Shen Fei mumbled. His voice was choked and hoarse, and he sounded like he had gone through many vicissitudes.

…

The next day, Shen Fei opened his eyes and got up from bed. He walked to the window and opened it. A cold breeze blew in, ruffling his hair.

Shen Fei squinted his eyes and allowed the morning light to fall on him. A moment later, he stretched and walked to the bathroom sink.

After Shen Fei washed up, he got dressed and prepared to head out.

“Hey, let’s go together.” Not far away, a young lady stood at the entrance and waved at Shen Fei.

When he saw Aloy, Shen Fei shook his head in exasperation. Aloy had been coming to pick him up every day.

“Why are you going to school?” Shen Fei asked.

“I want to choose another spirit beast. You already have three, and I only have one Ice Spirit.”

“Let’s go then,” Shen Fei said. Since he had nothing to do anyway, he would help her pick one again.

After all, he had never been able to say no to her every time she came to find him.

When she heard him agree to come along, Aloy immediately grabbed Shen Fei’s hand and ran off.

…

The two of them went to the breeding institute recommended by the academy.

“This is the specially-selected spirit beast breeding institution of the academy. Whether you want to contract one, or just raise one, they can prepare many spirit beasts for you,” Aloy explained.

Shen Fei nodded. “Pick whichever one you like. I’ll take a look with you.”

“Okay.” Aloy held his arm and led him on a tour. They soon found an area of the institute that was a natural, outdoor forest habitat for raising younger beasts.

“Hmm, this isn’t bad. It’s of the ice attribute. Unfortunately, it’s only a kit,” Aloy said as she looked at an Ice Spirit Rabbit that was as translucent as ice.

Shen Fei followed her line of sight and saw the Ice Spirit Rabbit.

“It’s not easy to catch an Ice Spirit Rabbit,” Shen Fei said lightly.

Ice Spirit Rabbits were hard to spot, fast and sprightly, and they wielded ice-attribute techniques. They were also extremely cunning.

“Let’s try. Maybe we’ll be lucky enough to catch one,” Aloy said with a hint of a blush.

Shen Fei looked at her expectant face and nodded. “You go catch the rabbit first. I’ll wait for you here.”

“Okay.” Aloy let go of his arm and quickly ran to the other side. “Hey, come here, little rabbit!”

“You’re too slow, the rabbit will get away.”

“Ice Spirit Rabbit! Don’t run! ” Aloy hurriedly shouted.

As she spoke, the Ice Spirit Rabbit had already hopped five meters away from her. Aloy quickly chased after it.

“Ice Spirit Rabbit, wait for me!”

Shen Fei watched her speechlessly. She seemed younger than usual.

After chasing and playing for a while, Shen Fei suddenly noticed a Flame Wolf staring at him not far away. The Flame Wolf’s entire body was red and shone as brilliant as the sun.

When he saw the wolf, Shen Fei frowned. It looked ferocious and difficult to deal with.

Seeing Shen Fei frown, Aloy quickly reminded him, “You have to help me.”

She still hoped that Shen Fei would help her catch the Ice Spirit Rabbit, and she hoped he would do a better job than she did.

Shen Fei nodded, but ignored the rabbit and walked to the Flame Wolf instead. The Flame Wolf watched as Shen Fei got closer. Then, it roared angrily and pounced at Shen Fei.

It was quite similar to the Flame Owl.

When Shen Fei realized this, he smirked. With a stomp of his right foot, his figure turned into an afterimage as he rushed toward the Flame Wolf. Then, he raised his fist and punched the wolf’s abdomen.

Pow! A heavy sound of impact was heard.

The Flame Wolf was sent flying hundreds of meters away and smashed into a tree.

“Roar!” The Flame Wolf howled in pain and struggled to stand up.
