537 An Inch Longer
This strong stench made one want to vomit.
The smell on An Lie’s body was much fainter, but it was still smelly.
After eating the arowana, it was as if all the impurities in his body had been cleaned up. After cleaning up, he realized that not only had his legs grown an inch longer, but his body also seemed to have become lighter.
With that, An Cheng left.
An Lie raised his hand and sniffed himself. He frowned. He had not noticed it before, but after his uncle’s reminder, he realized that he really smelled bad now.
An Cheng went out and knocked on Su Xiaolu’s door.
He had shouted so loudly just now that Su Xiaolu did not come out to take a look. From some small details, An Cheng could tell that the young man was not impetuous and was very calm.
Su Xiaolu got up. She slept very comfortably. Her body and mind seemed to be warm. She heard An Cheng’s scream, but she didn’t want to get up unless it was something serious. When An Cheng knocked on her door, she had no choice but to get up.
Su Xiaolu yawned and opened the door. “What is it?”
It was not even dawn yet.
An Cheng looked at the sleepy Su Xiaolu and smiled. “Young Master, smell yourself and see if you stink…”
As he spoke, An Cheng sniffed hard. He couldn’t believe his nose. He sniffed hard again, and his expression cracked. “Why don’t you smell at all? How… how is this possible?”
He clearly remembered that Su Xiaolu had eaten a lot of arowana before.
He and An Lie both smelled bad, but Su Xiaolu did not smell at all. Why?
“What happened?”
Su Xiaolu looked at An Cheng’s changing expression and asked.
What exactly happened? Su Xiaolu was at a loss, but looking at An Cheng, he was not thin. If not for the fact that he was missing a leg, he would still be a burly man. If it could make him scream, it should not be a small matter.
“Young Master, this arowana is the meat of gods. It can regenerate broken limbs. My broken leg grew an inch.”
An Cheng calmed down and looked at Su Xiaolu.
He was afraid that Su Xiaolu would not understand the shocking extent of this, so he repeated seriously, “Young Master, can you understand? It’s like a person who has lost a finger. In one night, half of his finger grew out again. My leg is like that.”
Su Xiaolu understood. To be honest, she was also shocked.
She looked at An Cheng and said seriously, “I’m a doctor. If you don’t mind, I want to take a look at your leg. Is that okay?”
An Cheng did not expect Su Xiaolu to be a doctor. He hesitated for a moment before nodding.
He rolled up his pants and showed Su Xiaolu his broken leg.
Su Xiaolu examined him.
An Cheng took a few deep breaths and said, “Young Master, look at my leg. If I eat enough arowana, will it grow back?”
Su Xiaolu took An Cheng’s pulse. His pulse was strong and steady, and his complexion was rosy and healthy.
Eating an arowana once actually had such an effect?
“If the arowana continues to have such an effect, theoretically, yes.”
Su Xiaolu nodded. If the effect of the arowana did not reach a certain saturation level like the white fish and stop taking effect after eating it for a while, then eating more arowana would really allow his leg to regrow. If he ate more arowana, his leg would grow back.
“Young Master, let’s work together to catch arowana. You have your way. My family has a large ship. If we work together, we can maximize the benefits of this matter.”
An Cheng could not suppress his excitement. He looked at Su Xiaolu excitedly.
As if afraid that Su Xiaolu would not agree, he said before Su Xiaolu could answer, “Young Master, building a big ship will take too long. It would take at least a year. Now, everyone in Qinghai who has the ability to build ships is crazy about the white fish.”
Speaking of the white fish, An Cheng was shocked. He murmured, “Could it be that the white fish also has such a miraculous effect?”
“The white fish has amazing effects, but it is far inferior to the arowana. Let me think about the cooperation, give me two days.”
Su Xiaolu answered An Cheng’s query and gave him her answer.
An Cheng was right. If she wanted to go out to sea, she had to have a big ship and outstanding sailors. An Lie and An Cheng both had this. And she had the secret recipe to catch arowana, which could make this collaboration easier. She could really kill fish without spilling blood.
The cooperation was a win-win situation, but how were they going to split the benefits?
Su Xiaolu had to think about it.
“This ship belongs to my family. It’s half mine. If I don’t agree, An Lie won’t be able to use it to go out to sea.”
An Cheng looked at Su Xiaolu deeply and said. Wealth moved people’s hearts. Thinking of the conditions An Lie had promised Su Xiaolu, An Cheng had to emphasize this.
Su Xiaolu was a smart person and could naturally tell.
She nodded and said, “Originally, I wanted to consider it for two more days, but since you’ve made it clear, tell me how you want to split it.”
“How about the three of us split it equally?”
An Cheng looked at Su Xiaolu seriously. He really didn’t want to wait. He couldn’t wait a moment longer, let alone two days.
An Lie rushed over and heard these words. He did not dare to look up at Su Xiaolu and only lowered his head in silence.
He felt guilty. He remembered what he had promised Su Xiaolu and remembered her help, but he could not ignore the fact that An Cheng was his family.
Fortunately, Su Xiaolu’s attention was not on him.
However, An Lie did not feel comfortable for long because Su Xiaolu’s next words made his heart skip a beat.
“Heh—it’s impossible to split it equally.”
Su Xiaolu’s tone was calm, but it was filled with mockery.
She looked at An Cheng and pointed at An Lie. “Even if half of this ship belongs to you, the other half belongs to An Lie. An Lie has to repay my kindness now, so I have the general right to use this ship. An Lie is still for my use, and I was the one who gave you the herbs to catch the arowana. If you want to split it equally, I can only tell you that you’re dreaming.”
“It doesn’t matter if I want this arowana or not. Don’t forget, if I don’t go out to sea, and neither can you. This ship doesn’t belong to you alone.”
Su Xiaolu smiled like a sly old fox.
An Cheng almost bared his teeth. This young man looked young, but his shrewdness was hateful and respectable. She had seen through all of his nature and completely controlled him.
“Then tell me, how much do you want to give me? I’ll agree to anything.”
An Cheng was defeated. He needed the arowana. Just as Su Xiaolu had said, it was not that she had to have the arowana, but he needed it. He wanted to struggle and think about it, but in fact, he had already decided how much he could take.
“Ten percent. If you agree, we can go to sea after resting for a day. If you don’t agree, forget it,” Su Xiaolu said with a smile.
“Fine, it’s settled.” An Cheng gritted his teeth and agreed.
