Chapter 501: Swallowed
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Just a month ago, Chi Baoguang thought that he would sooner or later be killed by people of this generation because of his age and die in the cliff prison.
In the end, King brought them out of the man-eating prison.
He saw the sun again.
He thought that he would not have a happy end with Lisa for the rest of his life, but not only did Lisa not betray him, she even gave birth to a son for him.
His wife was still around and he had many children and grandchildren.
Chi Baoguang’s life was worth it.
He poured himself a glass of wine and took a sip.
Seeing Lisa look over, he raised his cup and smiled faintly. He was still good-looking, his smile was clean, and his eyes were warm and clear. He was still him, and he was still the genius young man who wore an experimental uniform and worked with various instruments in the laboratories.
Lisa was in a daze and her heart ached.
Fate was unfair to him.
Chi Baoguang was satisfied. He said, “Tonight, I sat here and felt that everything was like a dream.” He reached out to touch the light above his head and sighed. “I can’t believe it!”
Lisa came to his side.
She hugged him from behind.
“Baoguang, this is true.” Lisa kissed his cheek and said, “Did the me in your dream have wrinkles?”
Chi Baoguang shook his head. “In my dream, you will always be that young and charming girl.”
“Look, I’m also starting to age. Only people in reality will age.” In dreams and in illusions, everything was a product of beauty. People would not age, the scenery would not change. The scenery would still be the same, and the green hills and waters would still be there.
Chi Baoguang was relieved.
When Fang Yusheng walked in from the backyard, he was stunned to see the two of them hugging each other. Then, he walked over.
So this was how it felt to watch people show their love.
He had mixed feelings.
The family gathered together happily. The two children were a little afraid of Chi Baoguang.
Chi Baoguang suddenly used his fork to pick up a small quail egg. He said, “Cheng Cheng, Kai Kai, I know how to perform magic. Do you want to see it?” He wanted to please the two little fellows.
Fang Zicheng and Fang Zikai looked up at the same time with anticipation in their eyes. They looked at him anxiously but did not speak.
They were about to turn three.
A three-year-old child was very curious about everything, including Fang Zicheng, who had appeared mature since he was young.
Not only them, even Fang Yusheng secretly looked over.
Chi Baoguang held up the quail egg. He said, “I can make this quail egg disappear in a blink.”
“Amazing!”
Fang Zikai first flattered him before saying, “Change it.”
Seeing that his son and grandson were looking at him, he pretended to smile deeply.
He raised the quail egg and walked around in front of everyone. As he walked around, Chi Baoguang said, “Look carefully, this is a quail egg.”
“Yes, it’s a quail egg!” Fang Zikai was excited. He could not bear to look away.
Chi Baoguang nodded and said, “Next, it’s time for you to witness a miracle.”
He counted. “One, two…”
After counting to three, Chi Baoguang quickly threw the quail egg into his mouth and swallowed it without chewing.
As expected, it disappeared in a second.
Fang Yusheng and the rest were speechless.
Fang Zicheng raised his eyebrows and felt that it was meaningless, so he lowered his head to eat.
The corners of Fang Yusheng’s mouth twitched. He lowered his head to eat his food and saw from the corner of his eye that Qiao Jiusheng was holding in her laughter. His ears were a little red.
Fang Zikai scolded Chi Baoguang for being a liar. “Grandpa is a liar.”
Chi Baoguang put down his fork but said, “Look, Grandpa isn’t omnipotent. Grandpa won’t be able to perform magic. So, don’t be afraid of Grandpa.”
Other than the two little fellows, the other three adults were stunned.
They all looked at Chi Baoguang.
So he had also sensed that the two little fellows were afraid of him?
Fang Yusheng suddenly said, “Very, very impressive.”
Chi Baoguang’s ears turned red.
“Okay, let’s eat. We have to finish all the dishes on the table.” Lisa was just in time to break the awkward silence.
In the end, almost a third of the dishes were eaten by Chi Baoguang.
In the middle of the night, Chi Baoguang’s stomach hurt from eating too much. He got up and strolled around the courtyard to digest his food. He had just walked a few rounds when he suddenly heard a faint man’s voice. “What exactly do they want to take from you?”
Chi Baoguang looked over.
He saw Fang Yusheng, who was wrapped in a thick bathrobe and standing under the courtyard pavilion.
Chi Baoguang looked down at his cotton slippers and sighed.
He walked towards Fang Yusheng and walked around the pavilion. As he walked, he said, “A drug that can stimulate the latent ability in a person’s genes.”
Fang Yusheng frowned.
“Stimulate the potential in the human genes?” He made a bold guess and was shocked. “You’re saying that you developed a drug that can stimulate the potential of the human body?”
“Yes.”
“No wonder.”
The human body’s potential was immeasurable. The human body was a very complicated thing. There were thousands of secrets hidden in it.
When his son was being crushed by a truck, his father could raise the truck with his bare hands. Some people could jump thirty feet high when danger came. Some people could chop stone bricks with their heads…
Fang Yusheng asked Chi Baoguang, “Don’t tell me you developed something that allows people to have superpowers?”
“If I was that powerful, they would probably have gone to the cliff to catch me.” Chi Baoguang mocked Fang Yusheng. “What is a superpower? It’s a supernatural abnormality. Only a small number of people have it. If superpowers are something that can be easily obtained, wouldn’t society be in chaos?”
Fang Yusheng frowned and remained silent.
Chi Baoguang said, “The medicine I developed is only a medicine that can strengthen a person’s body, increase combat strength and resistance without no side effects.”
Fang Yusheng said, “I understand.”
If every soldier had the outstanding physique and skills of the special forces, their overall combat ability would be immeasurable.
“By the way, your mother said that she had a green gem necklace that she left for you. Where did you put it?” Chi Baoguang seemed to have mentioned it casually.
Fang Yusheng narrowed his eyes.
“What’s in there?”
Chi Baoguang felt a little helpless.
It was not a good thing that his son was too smart.
“Back then, I was afraid that someone would discover my experimental products. I destroyed all the potions and left a drop. That was hidden in the green gemstone I gave to your mother.”
Fang Yusheng then said, “It’s at my house. I have to look for it.”
The next day, Fang Yusheng was in the collection room looking for emeralds. The two little fellows helped him look for them. Fang Yusheng had a collection room that was meant for canes. When he moved, he placed Lisa’s things in the same room as the canes.
As Fang Zikai searched, he said, “It’s green, right?”
There were many boxes filled with jewelry in this house. Fang Zikai stood on a stool and tiptoed to open a black velvet box in the drawer. Seeing a green stone inside, he picked it up and asked Fang Yusheng, “Is this it?”
Fang Yusheng said, “Maybe.”
Fang Zikai closed the box and was about to turn around when his feet slipped and he fell off the stool. Fang Zicheng, who was the closest to him, quickly went to help him up. The green stone in Fang Zikai’s hand hit the wall and actually shattered.
A drop of transparent liquid shot out. Fang Zicheng opened his mouth and shouted at Fang Zikai, “Be Careful…” His mouth was suddenly wet.. “He closed his mouth and subconsciously swallowed.
