A Basin of Golden Water for You All—No Need to Thank Me

Liu Yanran walked over to Su Chen with the Taoist Priest, smiling brightly.

"Su Chen, this is Taoist Priest Ge, a very famous and formidable Taoist Priest from Tiger Dragon Mountain."

"Mom specially invited him to make custom protective talismans for everyone in our Su Family."

"But before making the talismans, Taoist Priest Ge needs to learn about your specific situation."

"Answer whatever Taoist Priest Ge asks, and do whatever he tells you to do."

"Only then will the protective talisman be most effective."

Su Chen obediently smiled and agreed.

"Okay, I'll behave."

Liu Yanran turned and gave Taoist Priest Ge a meaningful look before returning to sit between Su Mu and Su Qiqi.

Su Mu and Su Qiqi looked at their mom and gave her thumbs-ups, their faces full of admiration.

Liu Yanran smiled smugly.

Su Chen would never have guessed that this Taoist Priest's true purpose was not to make him a protective talisman, but to...

Taoist Priest Ge smiled at Su Chen with the air of an enlightened master from beyond the mountains.

"Little Friend Su, don't be afraid."

"The process is very simple. As long as you cooperate fully, that will be enough."

Su Chen smiled innocently.

"Okay, Taoist Priest Ge."

Seeing Su Chen's docile expression, Taoist Priest Ge found it rather strange.

Madam Su had clearly said that this child had an exceptionally unruly temperament. Yet from the looks of it now, perhaps that had merely been Madam Su's personal opinion.

Madam Su had even told him to proceed with caution.

But judging by this Little Friend Su's demeanor, his task this time would likely go incredibly smoothly.

Today's payment really was easy money.

Putting on an act, Taoist Priest Ge picked up the Peach Wood Sword and began brandishing it around Su Chen. He muttered incantations under his breath, occasionally swinging the wooden sword hard at the space in front of or behind Su Chen.

After about five minutes, Taoist Priest Ge finally stopped his nonstop sword routine.

Then, Taoist Priest Ge pulled a yellow talisman paper from his shirt pocket and burned it, placing the ashes into a bowl of water that had been prepared beforehand.

Taoist Priest Ge then held the bowl and waved it around Su Chen, muttering something under his breath. From time to time, he dipped his fingers into the water and flicked droplets onto Su Chen's head.

Another five minutes or so later, Taoist Priest Ge finally stopped.

With a kindly expression, Taoist Priest Ge held the bowl of Talisman Water out before Su Chen.

"Little Friend, this bowl of Talisman Water is the spiritual protective water I specially prepared for you."

"As long as you drink this bowl of water, I guarantee that evil spirits will never invade you and illness will never strike you for the rest of your life."

"Okay."

Without objection, Su Chen accepted the Talisman Water from Taoist Priest Ge and made as if to bring it to his mouth.

Liu Yanran, Su Mu, and Su Qiqi stared intently at Su Chen as he drank, their eyes shining.

Taoist Priest Ge also watched Su Chen's movements nervously.

When they saw Su Chen's lips finally touch the bowl and his throat move as though swallowing, the few of them finally relaxed.

Then they smiled happily.

Who would have thought that before they could even be happy for a second—

The bowl in Su Chen's hand fell to the floor.

Then Su Chen clutched his stomach and rolled around on the ground as though he were in terrible pain, howling miserably.

Liu Yanran jumped in fright. She had merely asked Taoist Priest Ge to give Su Chen some medicine that would make him more obedient. Even if it made him a little dull, that would have been fine.

She had never intended for Taoist Priest Ge to give Su Chen poison and take his life.

Liu Yanran immediately glared furiously at Taoist Priest Ge.

If anything truly happened to Su Chen's body, this Taoist Priest Ge would have to take full responsibility.

Taoist Priest Ge was panicking inside as well.

All he had given this child was medicine to suppress overly active nerves. Its only effect should have been to make a person's thoughts and movements somewhat sluggish!

He had never given this child any medicine that would harm his body!

Why was this child reacting like this?!

Could the medicine have expired, causing something to go wrong with its effects?!

Seeing Madam Su glare at him, Real Person Ge became even more flustered.

At that moment, Su Chen suddenly got to his feet and ran toward the bathroom with a pained expression.

Everyone froze.

Had the medicine given Su Chen diarrhea?!

Liu Yanran let out a breath of relief. If it was only diarrhea, then it was still alright.

Real Person Ge also sighed in relief. It seemed the expired medicine had merely caused diarrhea.

Good, good.

He could still earn the money from this job.

What they did not know was that Su Chen had not drunk that bowl of water at all.

He had only pretended to drink it.

Knowing full well there was something wrong with the water, how could Su Chen possibly drink it?!

And now, in the bathroom, Su Chen let out a huge load, then took a leak as well. He collected it all in a basin, added a little water, and made nearly half a basin of Golden Water.

Then Su Chen carried the basin and peeked outside.

He discovered that Taoist Priest Ge was patting his chest as he assured Liu Yanran of something, while Su Mu and Su Qiqi stood beside Liu Yanran, listening with great interest.

This was the moment.

Carrying the Golden Water, Su Chen rushed out.

Before the others could react, he flung the half-basin of Golden Water in his hands at all four of them.

Liu Yanran, Su Mu, and Su Qiqi had been happily listening as Taoist Priest Ge boasted about how miraculous the medicine he had given Su Chen was.

It would merely make a person's movements and thoughts a little slower than ordinary people's. Nothing else would be noticeable at all.

Liu Yanran, Su Mu, and Su Qiqi were delighted to hear it.

That way, Su Chen would no longer be able to play crazy and foolish tricks to harm them.

Even if Su Chen played crazy and foolish, with his movements and thoughts a beat slower than ordinary people's, they would be able to subdue him with ease.

When the time came, who bullied whom would be reversed.

Just as the few of them were looking forward to their wonderful future, a set of footsteps rang out.

A foul stench came with the water splashing onto them.

So stinky! So stinky!

The few of them nearly vomited from disgust.

The four people who had been splashed from head to toe with Golden Water instantly scattered.

Unfortunately, it was already too late.

Smelling the foul stench, the four of them touched the liquid on their bodies.

Immediately, not only were their heads and bodies covered in yellow Golden Water, but their hands were also smeared with yellow Golden Water.

Blech, blech, blech!

What was this?! Why did it stink so badly?!

Very quickly, the four people, with their abundant life experience, realized what it was.

Shit—it was human shit!

Blech, blech, blech!

The four of them nearly vomited up everything in their stomachs.

The four of them glared furiously at Su Chen!

Su Chen stood there with a broad, delighted smile. Not far from him lay a basin.

There was still quite a bit of golden liquid left in that basin.

"Why are you all glaring at me?! I did this for your own good!"

"This is the spiritual protective water that Real Person Ge specially made for me. He told me to bring it out for you all to drink!"

"How could I be the only one with a safety talisman? We should all have one!"

"See how good I am to you all? With something this good, how could I leave you out!"

"Aren't you going to thank me?"
