Tang Guosheng accepted Tang Xiu’s suggestion and was eager to go to the bathroom. He personally released the water and then dripped a drop of the Body Refining Liquid into the warm water.

As he got naked, he felt like countless ants were crawling inside his body. It felt very itchy. What made him somewhat bewildered was that the clear hot water was gradually changing and turning mucky the more he soaked his body. 10 minutes later, he felt that the itchiness was even more unbearable and couldn’t bear it any longer. He then found that the hot water became muddier, as if filth had been poured into it.

“What a stink!”

Tang Guosheng really wanted to get out of the bathtub, but when he recalled the words exhorted by his grandson, that he must soak himself for more than an hour, he could only endure and restrain himself.

Large drops of sweat rolled down his face. When he subconsciously raised his hand to wipe the sweat on his face, he suddenly found that his hands were stained with grayish-black filth.

What’s going on?

Tang Guosheng had a blank expression and put more effort in rubbing his face, as more and more grayish black filth stained his hands, the stench becoming more intense.

Aargh…

Nearly half an hour later, Tang Guosheng finally couldn’t endure the itchiness in his naked body anymore and jumped out of the bathtub. His movement was very swift and looked like a young man in his prime. His naked feet steadily stepped on the bathroom’s floor, and the first thing he did when he came out of the bathtub was to look at himself in the mirror.

“My face…”

He was stunned when he saw himself in the mirror, because he found a lot of grayish-black filthy substances on his face. There were still more residual substances despite him having taken off a lot before. He realized all of a sudden that the reason why the hot water in the bathtub turned muddy was because… of something in his body.

Outside, Tang Xiu clamped a cigarette between his lips while sitting comfortably on the recliner in the yard, whereas the fragrant tea beside him curled out its steam. It was the tea personally made by his grandmother, Qin Changyue, a moment ago.

“Your grandpa is really weird today, Xiu’er. I remember that he had already taken a shower before he went out in the morning. He usually has another shower in the evening whenever he gets busy or if it’s the summer. What reason do you think made him take another bath on this cold day?” Qin Changyue moved to the chair and sat beside Tang Xiu as she asked.

Tang Xiu let out a faint smile and replied, “Grandpa is just fastidious about hygiene and his health, Grandma. I also think that you should take a hot bath later. Wait until you turn 100 years old, I’ll be sure to throw a banquet to celebrate your 100th birthday!”

“Child, your mouth is really sweet.” A laughing smile blossomed on Qin Changyue’s aged face. She affectionately took Tang Xiu’s hand and unknowingly didn’t want to release it, “Grandson, can Grandma ask you something?”

“Please say it, Grandma.” Tang Xiu nodded.

“You’re no longer a child, Grandson,” said Qin Changyue with curiosity betrayed her. “You should’ve been talking about marriage at this age like normal young people. But what about you? Is there any young girl you like at present?”

Her question made Tang Xiu be at a loss whether he had to cry or laugh, as he smilingly said, “Grandma, I’m just 20 years old, not even 21 and still a few years away from the legal marriageable age! Besides, I’m still studying in the university, which I need to give a priority and focus onto. How can I have that much time to talk about romance and love?” [1]

“You can’t say that, Grandson.” Qin Changyue argued.“You just said yourself that you must focus and prioritize your studies first, then how come I heard that you still have time to do business? Your business even seem to be developing prosperously, no? You see, our family has a lot of properties and enterprises, and the very thing we don’t lack is exactly money. Why are you seemingly going all out to make money, anyway? Let me tell you something! It won’t be good for you to spend your time solely to make money. You should talk more about love and youthful passion—traits that the young should have!”

After speaking up to there, she hesitated a bit before continuing with a more toned down voice, “Grandma is old now. I’m already an aged person whose steps are now heading straight toward the earth. No one knows the day when I’ll be gone. Now that Grandma is still healthy, find yourself a girlfriend earlier and also marry earlier so that you can give me a grandson; therefore, Grandma can take care of my great grandson if you have no time to tend to him.”

Cough! Cough… Tang Xiu coughed a few times after hearing his grandmother push the subject even further, and then replied with a helpless expression, “Grandma, please don’t say that! You can still live to a ripe hundred years of life.”

“Don’t joke around, Brat!” Qin Changyue unhappily scolded. “Grandma is being serious with you.”

“Okay, okay. I know that you are talking seriously,” replied Tang Xiu with a helpless expression. “If so, then I’ll do my best to find myself a few women and bring them to you so as to make you relieved. I’ll be sure to strive hard in a few years to give you a bunch of grandchildren, which counting by my fingers should be eleven like the eleven members of a regular football team. But these ten fingers on both my hands are not enough; though this can be done!”

Pfft…
