And…

Su Meng blinked and came back to her senses. Her gaze landed on Xu Bai, who was sitting on the ground and sipping the wine in his hand.

“Master.”

“Yes?”

“Can I ask—” “You can’t.”

“I’m not done yet.”

“That won’t do either!”

Su Meng opened her mouth.

The next second.

Xu Bai saw Su Meng, who was sitting opposite him. Her big eyes were condensing at a speed visible to the naked eye. It was indescribable, but it gave off a pitiful feeling.

Su Meng’s lips flattened slightly.

“Master-

“Cough, cough.”

Xu Bai coughed and retracted his gaze to prevent his heart from softening. He looked at the charcoal-roasted king crab that had been cut into pieces on the table and the cake that had been divided. He said to Su Meng, “Alright, let’s go.”

Su Meng instantly retracted her expression.

“Yeah. ”

Xu Bai nodded and said, “It’s time to send you home. By the way, successfully take back the gift I gave you.”

Su Meng’s eyes widened. “I thought you forgot to give me a gift, Master.”

Xu Bai waved his hand. “Of course not. I didn’t expect you to come so early. I left the gift at home.”

Su Meng stood up with a whoosh. “Then I’ll go home with Master.”

“…Alright.”

Xu Bai looked at Su Meng’s expression that seemed to say, “I don’t believe you.

You must go home and find something as a gift.” He shook his head and smiled. Then, he nodded. “Then come home with me and take your gift away.”

He had really forgotten to take it.

The Essence Replenishing Pill was in his inventory.

But gifts had to be wrapped.

In the afternoon, Xu Bai specially went to the gift shop outside. After buying wrapping paper and strapping, he returned home. Just as he placed the Essence Replenishing Pill in the box and wrapped it, he received a call from Su Meng before he could put it back in his inventory.

That’s right.

He had gone downstairs in a hurry, so he placed the wrapped Essence Replenishing Pill in the box.

Twenty minutes later.

Xu Bai brought Su Meng home.

Open the door.

“Be careful.”

Xu Bai reminded Su Meng, who came in later, to carefully enter a small staircase. Then, he turned on the light, illuminating the entire house.

Su Meng, who had followed behind, sized up the furnishings and layout of the house.

The first thing she saw was the portrait of Xu Bails parents in the living room.

However, for some reason, Su Meng was not afraid at first glance. Instead, she felt warm.

This should be an illusion.

“Master.”

“What happened?”

“Do you usually clean up the house alone?”

“Right.”

Su Meng nodded and didn’t say anything. Then, she saw Xu Bai walk to the coffee table and grab a gift box wrapped on the coffee table.

Of course.

There were also some cut wrappers and ribbons scattered around the gift box.

“Here.”

“Thank you, Master.”

After Su Meng took the gift from Xu Bai, her eyes curved into the shape of the moon. She looked up at Xu Bai. “Master, did you wrap this yourself?”

Xu Bai smiled and said, “Isn’t it ugly? I’m sorry, but that’s all I can do.”

Su Meng hurriedly shook her head and looked at the small box in her hand. She looked up at Xu Bai again. “Medicine fragrance. Master, what is this? Can I open it?”

Xu Bai walked towards the wine cabinet. When he heard Su Meng’s words, he waved his hand. “Sure.”

It was good that Su Meng knew now.

He didn’t want to lose this thing on the way home.

Besides…

The Federation also had a tradition of opening gifts in person.

After all, giving gifts to others was to anticipate the surprised expressions on others’ faces. Naturally, people from the Federation also liked to open gifts in front of others. They did not like to secretly open gifts after receiving them.

Of course.

If there were too many one-time gifts, it would be another matter.

Su Meng sniffed the fragrance of the medicine that reached her ears and walked to the sofa. She first placed the box by her ear and shook it.

The sound of something colliding came from inside.

What could it be?

Su Meng’s curiosity was piqued. She brought the box in front of her and quickly unwrapped Xu Bails inconspicuous wrapping paper, revealing a small golden box.

She opened it.

The first thing she saw was…

The moment the box was opened, it seemed to emit a golden light. At the same time, there was a rich medicinal fragrance. Su Meng only took a whiff and the 100% Essence Replenishing Pill that shook her entire body was instantly reflected in her eyes.

Su Meng’s mouth was wide open as she looked at the 100% Essence

Replenishing Pill rolling in the small box. It even emitted a metallic sound. She could not help but turn to look at Xu Bai, who was standing in front of the wine cabinet.

“Master…” “Do you like it?”

‘…I like it.”

Su Meng squeezed out a smile at Xu Bai. “I like everything Master gave me.”

Xu Bai chuckled and did not pay much attention to Su Meng’s words.

After all, who would give medicinal pills on their birthday?

If it were Xu Bai, he probably wouldn’t even speak if someone gave him medicinal pills on his birthday.

Not even the blue pill!

If Team Leader Zhou needed it, he could fight three of them at once.

Yep.

He’d tried.

Xu Bai walked out of the wine cabinet with a glass of bourbon in his hand. After sitting on the sofa, he pointed at the medicine box in Su Meng’s hand.

“You know what this is?”

“I don’t know.” “Hasn’t your grandfather been looking for this for you?”

“My grandfather…”

Su Meng was stunned for a moment before she reacted. With a whoosh, her gaze landed on the 100% Essence Replenishing Pill in the medicine box. Then, she raised her head and her eyes widened again. “Master, you’re saying that this is… the Essence Replenishing Pill?”

Grandpa had searched for 20 years but could not find the Essence Replenishing Pill?

An Essence Replenishing Pill that could heal his foundation?

Su Meng looked at Xu Bai in disbelief.

Xu Bai shook his head.

Xu Bai looked at Su Meng, who had a hint of disappointment on her face, and said with a smile, “This pill is the Essence Replenishing Pill, but it’s not. Its name is 100% Essence Replenishing Pill. It also has another name, the Foundation Establishment Pill!”

Ordinary people could instantly reach the Foundation Establishment realm after taking one Essence Replenishing Pill.

Still…

Although this medicinal pill was refined by Xu Bai, he did not know how it should be used. Otherwise, Xu Bai would have wanted Su Meng to take the medicinal pills from him and return after it was over.

Hence, Xu Bai thought about it. In order to be safe, it was best to let Su Meng take the medicinal pills back and take them under the care of her uncle, Su Bancheng, or her family.

What if there was an accident during the use of the medicine?

He had sent this gift out as a surprise, not as a shock.

Xu Bai thought about it and said to Su Meng, “Bring it home. If you’re worried, show it to your grandfather or uncle. Then, when you take it, let them guide you from the side. I won’t guide you.”

Su Meng nodded in a daze and stared straight at the 100% Essence Replenishing Pill in the small box in her arms.

She was at a loss.

100% Essence Replenishing Pill?

Foundation Establishment Pill?

Su Meng looked up in confusion at Xu Bai. “Master, why do you have…’

At this point, she seemed to have thought of something. She looked at Xu Bai and organized her words. “Master, if my uncle or grandfather asks, I should.. Xu Bai raised his eyebrows. He had already thought of a countermeasure.

“Just say I picked it up on the road.”

“What happened?”

“Master-

Su Meng was a little speechless when she heard Xu Bail s reason. “Do you believe this reason?”

Xu Bai chuckled and asked, “Then do you think that if you tell your uncle and your grandfather that I gave them this medicinal pill, they will believe that I have this medicinal pill?”

Su Meng was stunned. “I don’t think so.”

After all, in the eyes of her uncle and grandfather, her master, Xu Bai, was just an ordinary person. If she hadn’t chosen to be an agent, she might have been an ordinary person from a different world from her.

How could an ordinary person have the Essence Replenishing Pill that they could not get…

That wasn’t right.’

It was the 100% Essence Replenishing Pill.

Wait a minute.

Su Meng came back to her senses and looked at Xu Bai with a firm gaze.

“But I believe in you, Master!”

“I trust you. I trust you.”

Xu Bai chuckled and said to Su Meng, “But the focus isn’t on you, but on them. So, even if they don’t believe that you picked it up on the road, they also won’t believe that I gave it to them. So, no matter what, this answer isn’t important, okay?”

Su Meng’s little head spun rapidly.

“Master, you mean…’

“I picked it up on the road.”

“Fine. ”

Xu Bai looked at Su Meng, who was nodding, and smiled as he drank the wine in his hand. Since there was no more wine, he might as well bring the bourbon over to make up for it. He gave it.

He picked it up on the way.

These two answers were actually the same answer. The only difference was that saying the former meant that Xu Bai did not mind letting the Su family test the origin of this medicinal pill.

As for picking it up on the way, it was obvious that Xu Bai was telling Su Bancheng and Old Master Su not to look for me. I’ve already given you the reason. Whether you believe it or not is your business. It has nothing to do with me.

Su Meng was a little excited.

She grabbed the medicine box with both hands, afraid that it would disappear. She held it tightly in her arms, and tears welled up in her eyes again.

Tears welled up in Su Meng’s eyes. They were tears of excitement.

“Master”Done.”

Seeing this, Xu Bai hurriedly interrupted Su Meng’s casting again. He put down the cup in his hand and stood up, reminding Su Meng, “Don’t lose it. Also, remember, I can guarantee that he’s the 100% Essence Replenishing Pill. I can also guarantee its effects, but I don’t know how to use it. You have to show it to your grandfather first before taking it, understand?”

Su Meng looked at Xu Bai’s serious expression and nodded repeatedly like a chick pecking at rice. “Yes, yes. Master, don’t worry. I’ll definitely tell Grandpa. Grandpa will definitely be very happy when he finds out.”

Seeing this, Xu Bai did not say anything else.

“Let’s go. I’ll take you home.”

“Yes, thank you…”

“Brother Bai!!!”

“Run!!!”
