Chapter 999

Most importantly, if Ruth took the Dragon Pill and found out about what it was for, it would expose his secret and he had to prevent it from happening.

“Poisonous? As if! Judging from how nervous you are, this has to be something good! Don’t try to scare me!”

She retorted.

“Why you! Fine. Take one, then! The purple pills are made with crushed scorpions, centipedes and the gall bladders of snakes. One pill will get you to the Advanced Supreme State!” He said calmly.

“What?!” She gasped in fear.

Women usually feared insects and snakes, and she was instantly disgusted by the pills once she learnt the ingredients.

“If you don’t believe me, you can take one! I assure you that it’ll work right away!” He continued to encourage her.

“Like I’m going to believe you!” She snorted and put the Dragon Pills back hastily.

The more reluctant Leon was in letting her take the pills, the more she wanted to take them; and since Leon seemed to be trying to get her to take them, she decided against it out of fear that it was a trap.

“Believe whatever you want to!” He said impatiently, feeling relieved.

“What’s this one, then, Leon? I haven’t seen this before.” Ruth opened another flask and took out a few Spirit Nurturing Pills.

“I don’t know! Guess!” He shot her an annoyed look.

“Why you! Fine! I’ll take one if you won’t say anything!” She moved one of the pills closer to her lips, while glancing at Leon to check on his reaction.

“Whatever!” He scoffed.

The Spirit Nurturing Pills were used to enhance spiritual energy, so it would not work for martial artists.

Since nothing would happen even if Ruth took one, he did not care.

“Looks like this isn’t something helpful, after all! I won’t fall for your traps!” Feeling like she saw right through Leon, she smirked and placed the pills back into the flask.

She then opened another flask that contained the premium Energy Nurturing Pill.

“Leon, these are Energy Nurturing Pills, right?” She instantly recognized them.

“So what if they are?” He said.

“But! They look kind of different from the first–grade Energy Nurturing Pill I took before.”

She felt slightly confused.

The premium Energy Nurturing Pill and the first–grade Energy Nurturing Pill both contained a core of true energy which she could sense once she fired up her true energy.

However, the energy within the pills before her seemed to be much purer compared to the ones she took in the past.

“Let me try one!” Since she recognized it to be an Energy Nurturing Pill, she saw no need in seeking Leon’s opinion and swallowed one.

It melted inside her mouth instantly and transformed into a wave of pure energy which flowed toward her energy core.
