Chapter 124 The Last Batch of Beauty Mud
Early the next morning, before the two women awoke, Xia Liu prepared breakfast and headed to the mountains with his basket on his back.
Fifty villas—that was going to cost a significant amount of money.
Even if he didn't have to spend so much all at once, he always felt anxious without funds on hand.
According to his own designs, the construction of those villas would undoubtedly be very costly.
So now he had to work desperately to earn money.
The income from the Longteng and Longyun hotels might not be able to cover such a sum for a while.
The only shortcut would probably be the Beauty Mud.
This time, Xia Liu entered the mountains employing a much faster method.
He opened all his senses and as soon as he discovered the Herbs needed for the Beauty Mud, he would immediately pick them.
It wasn't until the evening that Xia Liu emerged from the woodland.
This time, his basket was slowly filled with Herbs.
If he could successfully refine the Beauty Mud every time, these Herbs could produce more than a thousand boxes of Beauty Mud.
Not to mention much, twenty million wouldn't be out of reach!
However, Xia Liu wasn't too happy, because he had explored most of this mountain range.
That meant, to gather more Herbs, he would need to head to even deeper and more distant mountain ranges.
He wasn't worried about safety, but he had quickly glanced at the mountains some ten-plus kilometers away.
There, the quantity of Herbs was sparse, even nonexistent.
In other words, the further he went into the deeper woods, the scarcer the Herbs would become.
This was quite embarrassing—if things continued this way,
Beauty Mud would only dazzle in history for a moment before it would gradually be forgotten by more and more people over time.
Until no one would remember that such a miraculous plaster once existed. Discover exclusive tales on empire
About this, Xia Liu had no solution; he couldn't control the wild Herbs.
Arriving at his doorstep and seeing the red Audi, Xia Liu's mood suddenly changed.
The Fairy was still here—was she planning to stay indefinitely?
Just as he walked through the courtyard gate, Huang Xue came trotting out shivering.
"Xia Liu, you've worked hard, let me help you," Huang Xue said, helping Xia Liu place the basket on the ground.
She even took a small towel and began to wipe his sweat. [In fact, he hadn't sweated.]
"Wow! Brother Xia Liu, you've gathered so much today, are all of these for making Beauty Mud?" Zhang Xiaoxue was cooking in the kitchen when she heard Huang Xue talking with Xia Liu outside.
She immediately dropped the firewood in her hands and ran out to check.
As she spoke, there was confidence in her voice because she knew the Herbs in the basket were for making Beauty Mud.
Huang Xue, unaware, stood there slightly embarrassed.
Zhang Xiaoxue smiled triumphantly—it seemed like a victory for her this round.
"Yes, all of these are ingredients; let's start after we eat," Xia Liu seriously replied to Zhang Xiaoxue.
"Yay, I'll help later!"
"Yay, I'll help too!"
...
Watching the excited pair, Xia Liu couldn't help but shake his head.
After Xia Liu entered the house, Zhang Xiaoxue and Huang Xue exchanged a deep look.
"Hmph!" They clearly saw hostility in each other's eyes, and with a cold snort each, they went to the kitchen to cook.
"By the way, Xia Liu, is that Beauty Mud the miracle plaster mentioned in the video that can beautify and enhance the bust?" Watching Xia Liu stirring the Herbs in the large pot, Huang Xue asked thoughtfully.
"Yes, that Beauty Mud was made by Brother Xia Liu, and tomorrow people from Tianluo Pharmaceutical will come to take it away. They will package it without any further processing."Nôv(el)B\\jnn
Xia Liu hadn't answered yet when Zhang Xiaoxue proudly puffed out her chest and said.
She not only wanted to explain in detail, but also make sure Huang Xue noticed her face and chest.
This was the exact effect after using the Beauty Mud!
"Wow!"
Huang Xue was startled by this fact and almost dropped the kindling in her hands.
It turned out that the miraculous plaster she had seen in the video before was actually made by Xia Liu!
How popular the Beauty Mud was, Xia Liu and Zhang Xiaoxue in the village might not know.
But Huang Xue was very aware that someone in the city had bought the Beauty Mud, and how many people had gone to purchase it at a high price.
The harsh purchasing conditions of Tianluo Pharmaceutical had even made headlines.
Although purchase was restricted, there were no complaints or bad reputations about the Beauty Mud online.
This was enough to prove how magical and defiant this plaster was.
However, the Beauty Mud that drove the whole country crazy was actually stewed in a large pot!
Realizing this astonishing fact, Huang Xue was completely shocked.
Prideful though she was, she was now also contributing to the production of the Beauty Mud!
Of course, helping add firewood also involved hard work.
"Scared you, didn't I? Look at that shocked expression on your face," Zhang Xiaoxue looked at Huang Xue disdainfully.
When it came to pride, she should be the proud one because she had been watching from the beginning when Xia Liu started making the Beauty Mud.
Plus, she had even been a tester before, and her courage was incomparable to anyone else's.
"Little sister Xiaoxue, it's my first time seeing it, so don't make fun of me," Huang Xue pouted, speaking adorably.
Seeing this, Zhang Xiaoxue felt the urge to get angry; this girl actually dared to act cute in front of her!
But she found no reason to be upset.
If she got angry just because Huang Xue was acting cute,
That would just seem too pretentious.
"Hold back! Hold back! Brother Xia Liu would never fancy this kind of woman."
Zhang Xiaoxue kept reminding herself in her heart that all this was just Huang Xue's scheme, and she had to endure.
Whoever got angry and made a scene first, would lose.
She couldn't let Xia Liu look at her with a different eye; she had to defeat Huang Xue and make Xia Liu see this woman's true colors.
Acting cute is despicable!
Muttering to herself, Zhang Xiaoxue continued to be busy.
At this moment, Xia Liu naturally had no time to mind the two girls due to the massive output of Spiritual Energy.
His lips were even turning somewhat pale.
He had noticed a pattern before: to increase the success rate of the Beauty Mud, one needed to output a vast amount of Spiritual Energy.
If it was usual, making a small amount of Beauty Mud, Xia Liu would not be so hard-pressed.
Today, the amount he had to refine was far more than usual.
And with the accumulated Herbs from before, it was still uncertain whether he could hold out till the end.
Still, Xia Liu persevered, and in the end, two approximately two-meter-tall mounds of Beauty Mud stood quietly on the tarp.
Looking at the Beauty Mud she helped create by adding fire and wood, Huang Xue felt a surge of contentment and pride.
"Is this the Beauty Mud? The Beauty Mud that drove the whole country crazy?" Huang Xue murmured as she looked at the two mounds of Beauty Mud.
"Yes, only Brother Xia Liu can make this Beauty Mud, it's unique in the world!" Zhang Xiaoxue said while gazing at Xia Liu, a different light shining in her eyes.
"Huang Xue, you should apply some on your face later. After this batch of Beauty Mud is taken away, it might not be produced again for a while."
"Eh... can I really take some?" Happiness came too suddenly; Huang Xue had been thinking of ways to get some from Xia Liu, but now he'd offered it himself.
