Chapter 129 Pill

Mitsuki and Makoto were still enjoying the hot spring. Nozaki and Matsuko had already rushed back to Tokyo to pick up the children. In the main hall of the holiday home, only the snow woman was placing the freshly prepared meal.

Zheng Wenjie came to the living room, stretched his body, looked at the small bowls of food on the table, and sat on the sofa.

"Won't the guests go to experience our hot springs?" The Snow Girl looked at Zheng Wenjie and felt a little uneasy for some reason, and asked in confusion.

Zheng Wenjie smiled and looked at the Snow Girl as if he were sizing up a rare animal: "I'm just curious. After all, this is the first time I've seen a monster transformed from natural forces. Are you a snowflake?"

The Snow Girl felt even more uneasy. Her thick white hair fluttered slightly. She forced a smile and said, "Sir... I am not a snowflake. I woke up in the snowstorm. If you insist, I am... according to the current saying, granules of snow."

Zheng Wenjie leaned forward and looked at the Snow Girl who was just a tabletop away from him: "Ms. Xue Ji, do monsters like you also practice demon pills?"

“…I don’t have a magic pill, guest…no, they call you Zheng Jun…I will tell you whatever you want to know.” The Snow Girl looked at Zheng Wenjie with fear in her eyes.

Because she just discovered that the space around her seemed to have been imprisoned, and she could not exert her power as usual. She wanted to summon snowflakes, but there was no response at all.

"Well... your transformation just now surprised me, and it scared the people I brought with me."

"I think you have to pay the price for the offense you just made to me. As long as the price you pay satisfies me, I will forgive you." Zheng Wenjie smiled as he looked at the food on the table. Although it was served in a small bowl and was gone in just two bites, it was delicious and looked really good.

...

Before dawn, Nozaki and Matsuko, who had rushed to Tokyo overnight, rushed back to the holiday home as soon as they picked up their children.

The Snow Girl was still there to greet them in the house, seemingly unchanged, and she kindly prepared meals for the Nozaki family. Although the Snow Girl looked pretty and gentle, Matsuko was still afraid of such a big monster as her, and she held the child's hand tightly and dared not let go.

Nozaki thanked the Snow Girl happily. He was in a good mood all the way as he had moved such a heavy stone of life countdown. He took his child and Matsuko to eat the meal prepared by the Snow Girl and went to the room alone. Now he and Matsuko sleep separately, after all, their child was just an accidental birth.

It was only after he discovered that he was pregnant and that Matsuko was a good woman that Nozaki chose to break up with Makoto, but Matsuko had not yet agreed to marry him.

But they faced the curse together, and Nozaki became Matsuko's support. Nozaki understood that when the curse was over, Matsuko would agree to marry him, and he would have a happy family of three. Makoto was a kind woman, but she could not have children, and her personality was not suitable for marriage.

Nozaki was lying on the tatami, thinking, and a smile appeared on the corner of his mouth. Just when he was about to have a good rest, he heard Zheng Wenjie's voice in his ear. Nozaki stood up suddenly, looked around and found nothing wrong. Thinking he was hallucinating, Nozaki shook his head and lay back down.

Nozaki heard Zheng Wenjie's clear words again, and he suddenly understood. He couldn't help but feel fear for such a power that transcends the world. At least this was something his ex-girlfriend Makoto couldn't do. But having seen Zheng Wenjie's power beyond his imagination, Nozaki quickly calmed down and went to his room as Zheng Wenjie said.

"Mr. Nozaki, did you have a smooth journey?" Zheng Wenjie smiled and poured a cup of tea for Nozaki who was kneeling across the table.

Nozaki nodded respectfully: "Thank you for your concern, Mr. Zheng. I have brought the child to the holiday home and am now resting with Matsuko."

"That's good." Zheng Wenjie nodded and looked at Nozaki and said straight to the point: "Nozaki-kun, I will return all the money you gave me. I just need you to do me a favor."

"I will not take the money back. This amount of money is not enough to repay Mr. Zheng for saving our family's life."

"Mr. Zheng, if there is anything you need me to do, please tell me directly and I will do my best." Nozaki said respectfully with his head down.

Zheng Wenjie took out a sealed porcelain bottle and said to Nozaki, "Sadako's poisonous corpse is very powerful. No matter how well it is sealed, it is still very dangerous if something unexpected happens. So I would like to ask you to go to the well that seals the poisonous corpse after breaking the curse."

"Throw this porcelain bottle down." Zheng Wenjie played with the palm-sized porcelain bottle in his hand.

Nozaki raised his head nervously and asked hesitantly: "Mr. Zheng... why is this?"

Zheng Wenjie placed the porcelain bottle on the table in front of Nozaki and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, this porcelain bottle is a magic weapon that can absorb the toxins erupting from the poisonous corpse. As long as you throw the porcelain bottle in, you don't have to worry about anything else."

"After I break your curse, I need to go to a very important place with Higa Kotoko, so I don't have time to go back to Tokyo to deal with this poisonous corpse. I can only leave it to you." Zheng Wenjie looked at the porcelain bottle on the table with regret: "What a pity for this treasure."

Nozaki was flustered for a moment. He gritted his teeth and looked at Zheng Wenjie and asked, "Mr. Zheng, what kind of magic weapon is this? What is its function? Can the things inside eliminate corpse poison?"

Zheng Wenjie shook his head and took out a white jade box and placed it on the table. It was filled with fine snow particles, which was half of the origin of the Snow Girl.

"This is half of the origin that the Snow Girl gave me." Zheng Wenjie said as he opened the lid of the porcelain bottle. Nozaki only saw the red light in the mouth of the bottle after Zheng Wenjie opened the porcelain bottle.

Nozaki swallowed and watched intently as Zheng Wenjie carefully poured all of the Snow Girl's Essence into the porcelain bottle. The small porcelain bottle seemed bottomless. A box of granular snow was poured in and it was exactly the same as before.

Zheng Wenjie gently closed the lid of the porcelain bottle and said, "This magic weapon is very magical. As long as it can absorb enough supernatural energy, it can refine the absorbed energy into a pill."

"Elixir?" Nozaki's mind began to expand rapidly, and he said with some realization: "Is the elixir the immortality elixir that Qin Shihuang pursued?"

"You can understand it this way, but it doesn't have the effect of immortality. Just eating the elixir made in the porcelain bottle can make you have this extraordinary power like me." Zheng Wenjie tried his best to explain the fabricated words to Nozaki.

For a moment, Nozaki felt his heart beating rapidly, and asked nervously, "Mr. Zheng, why did you give this treasure to me?"

Zheng Wenjie picked up the porcelain bottle on the table and pointed the bottom of the bottle towards Nozaki's eyes: "This magic weapon is about to be damaged. Based on the energy that the poisonous corpse can possess and the tolerance of this magic weapon, this magic weapon will be useless after refining the corpse poison into elixir."

Nozaki opened his eyes wide and saw that there were several tiny cracks on the bottom of the porcelain bottle.

"So you can just throw this magic weapon into the well and don't worry about it." Zheng Wenjie opened the porcelain bottle and tilted it to pour it into his hand. Four thumb-sized snow-white pills rolled into his palm along with the red light. Zheng Wenjie smiled and placed a pill in front of Nozaki: "This is my thank you. As long as you eat it, you will have the power of the Snow Girl."

Nozaki's breathing became heavier. He stretched out his slightly trembling hand, picked up the pill and looked at Zheng Wenjie: "Mr. Zheng, are you really going to give it to me?"

"Of course." Zheng Wenjie smiled, put the remaining three pills into the jade box and sealed it before looking at Nozaki with encouraging eyes: "Eat it, and then do what I told you to do."

Nozaki's hand holding the pill trembled slightly, but his face turned red with excitement. He has always been a partner with Makoto and has seen so many exorcists in the special forces team. He has always dreamed of possessing spiritual power like an exorcist.

Nozaki was so excited that he swallowed the pill in one gulp, trembling with excitement. Before he could taste it, the pill turned into a cold liquid in his mouth. Nozaki could only feel the cold liquid quickly spreading from his throat to his whole body. His whole body became stiff and he could not move.

Nozaki could only watch as the ice rose from his body and ice beads formed on his eyebrows and eyelashes. Nozaki didn't know how long it was before he suddenly and uncontrollably banged his head on the table and regained control of his body.

The hot breath from Nozaki's mouth turned into white mist and clearly entered Nozaki's eyes. Nozaki excitedly raised his head and looked at Zheng Wenjie and said excitedly: "Mr. Zheng, I will do whatever you ask me to do in the future, and I will definitely not let you down!"

"Let's give it a try? Try the power of the Snow Girl." Zheng Wenjie said without comment.

Nozaki also suppressed his excitement and stretched out his hand seriously. As if it was natural, snowflakes gathered out of thin air in Nozaki's hand and formed a small snowflake whirlwind that swirled in his palm.

"How does it feel?"

Nozaki looked at his palm and nodded excitedly, mumbling nonsense: "Really, I can actually have super powers."

"Of course, I have this strength thanks to this porcelain bottle. Unfortunately, after this treasure absorbs the corpse poison, it will no longer be usable." Zheng Wenjie sighed as he looked at the porcelain bottle on the table.

Nozaki had already understood in his heart that it was no wonder that Zheng Wenjie, who appeared out of nowhere, had such incredible power. Now everything was explained.

Nozaki avoided Zheng Wenjie's gaze, and quickly and greedily glanced at the porcelain vase on the table, feeling the magical power of controlling the heavy snow. He had a feeling at this moment that as long as he wanted, he could make the place where his gaze pointed be covered with white snow at any time.

"But Nozaki, you need to be careful when using the power of the Snow Girl." Zheng Wenjie looked at Nozaki and continued, "Because it is not the complete original power of the Snow Girl, the elixir you have refined now is just a consumable. As you use it, the power will become weaker and weaker until it disappears completely."

"Otherwise, four pills would not have been refined. The real power that can give people eternal power, the porcelain bottle will only melt the collected power into one pill."

Nozaki was stunned for a moment, but quickly regained his composure. If it was just a short-term consumable, it would not be worth him being so excited. Moreover, after experiencing this kind of power, how could he bear to be without power in the past.

At this time, Nozaki heard Zheng Wenjie speak again: "As long as you do as I say and throw the porcelain bottle into the well where the poisonous corpse is, and when I return to Tokyo without any accidents and everything goes well, I will give you the remaining three pills."

Nozaki knew that Zheng Wenjie was using the remaining three pills to tempt him, but... even with these three pills, they were still just consumables.

Since Zheng Wenjie cares so much about the poisonous corpse in the well, then after this treasure absorbs the power of the poisonous corpse, will it be refined into a pill? If swallowed, it will give him the power of the poisonous corpse forever.

Nozaki supported himself on the floor, moved his body backwards, and respectfully knelt down to Zheng Wenjie, his mouth full of seriousness and gratitude: "Thank you, Mr. Zheng, I will definitely complete the task you assigned to me!"

Zheng Wenjie laughed and stood up, helping Nozaki up and letting him stand up. Looking at Nozaki, who was only as tall as his shoulders but exuded a strong and capable look, Zheng Wenjie smiled and patted his shoulder and said:

"When I return to Tokyo, I will definitely not treat you badly. You should have a good rest after swallowing the pill. It will take a few days for your body to absorb the power of the pill, and you will become stronger by then."

"I understand! Mr. Zheng. Don't worry, I will never let you down." Nozaki said to Zheng Wenjie with a look of joy on his face.

"Okay, then you go. Take this treasure of mine as well and keep it well." Zheng Wenjie picked up the porcelain bottle and put it in Nozaki's hand and said.

Nozaki carefully held the porcelain bottle with both hands, looking at it with a fiery gaze. When he raised his head, his eyes returned to gratitude: "Mr. Zheng, you should have a good rest, and I will visit you again tomorrow."

Zheng Wenjie smiled and waved his hand: "Why not visit? Let's just hang out in this holiday home for the next few days. You just need to remember what to do after the curse is broken."

Nozaki bowed his head and left Zheng Wenjie's room. When the door was closed, Nozaki hugged the porcelain vase tightly with both hands, suppressed his excitement and ran back to his room in small steps.

Nozaki returned to the room and carefully stroked and observed the porcelain bottle as if it were a treasure. After a while, he wrapped the porcelain bottle in several layers of cloth and put it in his luggage.

Nozaki forced himself to move his eyes away from the suitcase containing the porcelain bottle and look towards the room. As his mind moved, snowflakes appeared out of thin air and danced in the air.

Nozaki was excited to feel the feeling of mastering superpowers, but when he thought of what Zheng Wenjie said, that this power was only temporary, he felt deeply unwilling.

Looking at the suitcase where the porcelain bottle was, Nozaki muttered to himself, "Don't be impatient. When the curse is broken, Zheng Wenjie must be going to a very important place with Higa Kotoko, so he can't get away."

"Now we just have to wait until Zheng Wenjie leaves. He is an ordinary person who has made no contribution. He can rely on this porcelain bottle to possess mysterious power. I have paid so much for the people and the country. Why can't I have it?"

...

Zheng Wenjie looked at Nozaki's leaving figure with amusement. This porcelain bottle was just an ordinary porcelain bottle, but it was strengthened by himself, but it contained a drop of his own blood.

Now, Zheng Wenjie has handed the fate of all Tokyo people over to Nozaki. If, when he returns from Takama-ga-hara and sees that the porcelain bottle contains elixirs made from the poisonous corpses absorbed by his own essence and blood, then that's fine, he will just take Miyue back to Hong Kong Island.

But if I come back and see a chaotic Tokyo with corpses everywhere, then it has nothing to do with me. My country's affairs should be left to the people of my country to deal with. I am here to help them deal with the poisonous corpses with good intentions. (End of this chapter)
