Chapter 49: The Forbidden Array of Revitalization
She didn't know what brought out this change in her son, but Linxin appreciated it.
In fact, if she knew that smacking him black and blue would've helped Bai Long change so much, even though she wouldn't have done it by herself, she definitely would've sent someone to do so.
After Bai Long showed signs that he had changed, Linxin felt that she was lucky that he was no longer behaving like an idiot.
But, as she kept on seeing how much Bai Long had changed, Linxin felt more and more interested to see how much further Bai Long would change.
And, now that she learnt how cruel Bai Long was, when he was using five young women, to steal their vitality and allow a single woman he cared for turn younger.
Linxin loved him more than ever.
When Linxin first heard Bai Long saying that he wanted to be a villain, and so on, she thought that he was just going through a phase, or was trying to impress her.
However, as time went on, she saw that Bai Long showed zero hesitation as he did whatever he wanted without the slightest care about others, or what others think of him.
It was due to this, that Linxin began thinking that maybe Bai Long's desire to be a villain wasn't something he decided randomly, but had given a lot of thought for.
After all, there was no way someone with a conscious would have been able to do everything that Bai Long did until now.
Especially, when it involved taking the lifespan of five women, and giving it to a single one.
Honestly, if it was any normal woman who learnt that their kid was so cruel and selfish, they definitely would've felt sad and guilty for the way their kids turned out.
But not Linxin.
To her, the more cruel Bai Long became, the more she loved him.
'Aaaaaahhhhh.... You're the greatest son ever!!!'
With such thoughts, Linxin was walking around when the shrieks of multiple women brought her out of her daze.
Looking in the direction of where the sound was coming from, Linxin guessed that Bai Long had already started using the array to turn Zhenya younger.
Frowning a little, Linxin began trying to remember what Bai Long said the array's name was.
"Ah! It was the Forbidden Array of Revitalization!"
Remembering what Bai Long had told her with bright eyes, Linxin began skipping her way towards the source of the sound, since she wanted to see how it was going.
From what she remembered, the Forbidden Array of Revitalization wasn't actually forbidden since it caused problems to the one who was using it to turn younger.
Instead, it was forbidden, because one person could only use the array once in their lifetime.
Other than that, those who used the array to turn younger had zero side effects. That is, other than the guilt of having literally destroyed the lives of five others, for themselves.
Arriving near the room where the array was being used, Linxin didn't even bother to knock on the door and directly entered it.
Not that anyone inside the room minded it much.
Entering the room, Linxin scowled upon seeing Cao Ning, who gave her the stink eye in return.
Noticing this, Bai Long didn't say anything because he wanted to see what kind of competition this hate between them would arise.
It wasn't that Bai Long had some weird fetish of wanting to see two women fight each other, but he wanted to see if they could influence each other to grow stronger at a faster speed.
Of course, this didn't mean that he wouldn't appreciate two naked oily women wrestling.
With such thoughts, Bai Long almost began imagining it, before he shook his head and began focusing on Zhenya.
Seeing that Bai Long went back to paying attention to Zhenya, instead of talking to her, Linxin pouted and felt that she had to shine brighter to not lose to the other women.
Since the time she stepped inside the room, Linxin had seen Zhenya who was almost close to being considered as an old lady, literally turning time back to return to her younger days.
Her skin had already turned soft and plump, and was covered in a red glow. Most likely due to the boost of vitality.
As for her hair, it now looked more thick and lush, as well as shone due to how silky it now was.
Seeing all of this, Linxin was beginning to think that maybe she should use this array to turn even younger.
However, such thoughts didn't last for long because she remembered the time when Bai Long said he wasn't interested in lolis.
And, that only the mentally insane would be in love with immature young girls.
Not that he could ever be considered as a sane judge when it came to sexual preferences.
Once she remembered this, even though Linxin felt that she might look more attractive if she could turn back her age by a few years, she wasn't willing to risk turning too young and making Bai Long completely lose interest in her.
Instead, it would be better to just increase her cultivation and in turn look younger due to the increased vitality.
Getting back to Zhenya who by now was very close to her in age, Linxin had to agree that she was beautiful enough to be considered as another woman who would potentially reduce the time she could spend alone with Bai Long.
As for the five women who were being used by the array, their skin had already gotten dry and was cracked all over, while her hair had turned white and completely lifeless.
Seeing this Linxin couldn't help but feel a little pity for them, when the array finally stopped working and Zhenya was now officially looking like she had reached her prime.
