Suzuki Tomoko was startled and hurriedly fished the porcelain bottle out of the water, carefully holding it in her palm.
"What do you say this is?"
"Youth-preserving pill~"
Xia Ye smiled slightly and said:
"Just like you think, after taking it, your appearance will be frozen in that instant, and it won't change until the end of your life. It's a very normal anti-aging feature~"
"Her face was frozen at the moment she took the medicine—"
Tomoko Suzuki frowned slightly as she looked at Natsume. Natsume, of course, understood what she meant. Although Natsume's appearance was still exquisite and beautiful, she was not quite the same as when she was young. She was somewhat unwilling to stay the same forever.
"Don't worry, since we're giving you the Youth Preservation Pill, we've naturally prepared the accompanying services as well~"
Xia Ye stood up from the hot spring amidst the rushing water. The fine stream of water flowed down his sharply defined muscles, creating a powerful impact!
Unlike shy young girls who cover their eyes in embarrassment, Suzuki Tomoko openly admired his incredibly masculine physique—his well-defined eight-pack abs, his sexy V-line, and his long, powerful legs—all of which made her somewhat unable to resist.
Pound it~
She couldn't resist poking Xia Ye's abs with her fingertip; the incredibly bouncy texture made her almost unable to put it down.
Xia Ye ignored her somewhat mischievous actions. He walked up the steps to the edge of the hot spring pool, took out a large item from his inventory, and gently placed it on the ground.
"This is?"
Tomoko Suzuki curiously examined the thing that had suddenly appeared. 07
Its shape is that of a large capsule, with a red and white color scheme, and it is supported by a base and placed at an angle on the ground.
The capsule's surface is translucent, revealing a simple structure inside, large enough for one person to sit on.
"The Time Capsule allows you to recreate any appearance from twenty years in the past or future, lasting for one day, and can be used twice a week."
Xia Ye's lips twitched. This was also the first time he had seen the actual appearance of the [Time Capsule]. Speaking of which, the system really had a perverse sense of humor. This thing looked like an enlarged model of APTX4869. He wondered what kind of expression Ai would have when he gave it to her.
I gently pressed the button on the [Time Capsule], and the entire capsule opened to the left and right, revealing an interior structure resembling a seat.
Come on, give it a try!
"Good~"
Tomoko Suzuki couldn't wait any longer.
The towel she was wearing had already fallen off, but she didn't seem to care. She simply stood up from the water, gracefully walked towards the [Time Capsule], sat inside, and then asked curiously:
How do I do this?
There was only a switch button on the outside of the capsule, and no operating interface inside, leaving Tomoko Suzuki at a loss.
"I reckon it'll be there soon once it's closed, but—" Xia Ye glanced at her cool and charming face and mature and graceful figure, and asked, "Which age group do you plan to choose as the moment the Youth-Preserving Pill will help you maintain your youthful appearance?"
"Which age group...?"
From a woman's perspective, the younger the better, ideally as youthful and radiant as her own daughter.
However, Tomoko Suzuki was very rational.
If she really became a seventeen or eighteen-year-old girl, she would be young, but there would definitely be many inconveniences!
"Between twenty-five and thirty years old!"
"Yes, being in your early twenties is a great stage—retaining a touch of girlish innocence while also possessing the charm of a mature woman."
Natsume shared this thought: if Suzuki Tomoko really became a girl like Sonoko, she wouldn't have her own unique charm, which would be such a shame.
"Humph!"
Tomoko Suzuki gave him a charmingly disdainful look.
With her experience, how could she not know what Xia Ye was thinking? Men's minds are sometimes that simple. However, this time she really had to do as he wished, after all, she needed to maintain her attraction to him at all times to motivate him to work.
The two sides of the capsule slowly closed.
Soon, the light inside the capsule distorted for a moment, then slowly opened, revealing Tomoko Suzuki sitting inside.
"Amazing!"
Tomoko Suzuki stood up from the capsule and carefully examined her body, which had returned to its youthful state.
Her skin was indeed fair and smooth before, making her look very young, but that was just the result of spending a lot of money on skincare. Unlike now, this is her firm, elastic, and vibrant skin from when she was young!
"Xia Ye, my face..."
Normally decisive and ruthless, she was now somewhat uneasy. Although she knew that Xia Ye's tools were almost impossible to fail, she was still worried before knowing the final result.
"Don't worry, it's perfectly fine. This face is so young and beautiful!" Xia Ye smiled and reached out to pinch that smooth, pretty face, but then sighed and said, "It's a pity I never saw what you really looked like when you were young. It's a bit of a shame."
"Haha~"
Tomoko Suzuki took the blue porcelain bottle containing the anti-aging pill from his hand, her dark, beautiful eyes sparkling, and her red lips parted slightly as she chuckled:
"I took the Youth Preservation Pill, so my appearance is frozen in time, but there's still the [Time Capsule], right? Whatever age of mine you want to experience, I can just go in and sit for a bit, can't I?"
"..."
Tomoko Suzuki is truly Tomoko Suzuki!
Sure enough, he knows how to have fun!
Tomoko Suzuki at eighteen, Tomoko Suzuki at twenty-five, Tomoko Suzuki in her thirties, Tomoko Suzuki at sixty... cough cough, no, this is too perverted!
Different age groups have different charms, which can be experienced slowly and are simply the ultimate enjoyment!
Suzuki Tomoko didn't care that her words had stirred up Xia Ye's imagination. She uncorked the small celadon bottle, her pretty face showing surprise:
"There are two!"
"There are indeed two."
Xia Ye nodded. The reward was described as a bottle of Youth Preservation Pills. He had initially thought there would be at least a dozen, but when he opened it and found only two, he was a little disappointed. However, he then thought that two Youth Preservation Pills were already quite good, and he shouldn't be too greedy.
"Great!"
Tomoko Suzuki carefully poured out one and put it in her mouth, then put the small blue bottle back on and said seriously:
"Are you going to give away the last one? I want my men to study it and see if they can replicate it, or at least make a slightly less effective imitation. Its effects are too attractive to both men and women. Once it's replicated, it will definitely cause a huge sensation!"
"Research?"
Xia Ye was slightly taken aback.
That's certainly a good idea, but—
Are the people under your command reliable?
"this......"
Tomoko Suzuki hesitated. The Suzuki Group had many pharmaceutical companies under its umbrella, but there were almost none that she could completely trust. After all, everyone has selfish desires, and few can resist the temptation of eternal youth.
"Then leave it to me~" Xia Ye said with a smile, "Since you know so much, you must know my Xiao Ai, right?"
"Yes, I know. She's a core member of the Black Organization, codenamed Sherry, a genius in biomedicine, and your girlfriend. After drinking the [Resurrection Elixir] and shrinking, she lived in your house. She also led the research on that A drug that can shrink people~" Suzuki Tomoko spoke as if she knew it all by heart~
"You know a lot!"
Xia Ye was speechless: "What does Sonoko talk about with Ran and Ai all day long?"
"Haha~"
Tomoko Suzuki smiled without saying a word.
That's the benefit of the lie I told earlier.
Now I can discuss anything with Xia Ye, since Xia Ye won't go to Sonoko and Ran to verify anything!
"It's good that you know Ai~"
Xia Ye smiled slightly as he spoke of his girlfriend, "Xiao Ai told me the other day that she wanted me to buy her some experimental equipment so she could do some research in her spare time. I'll give this Youth Preservation Pill to her!"
"Alright~"
Tomoko Suzuki wouldn't underestimate Ai Haibara just because she's young; a genius's abilities can't be judged by age!
"Have her make a list of the equipment she needs, and I'll have my staff prepare it for her. Oh, and should we build her a professional laboratory?"
"Forget about a professional lab, just send someone to my villa to renovate one." Xia Ye had no doubt that Suzuki Tomoko could quickly build a world-class lab, but that kind of lab would require many assistants, which wasn't suitable for Ai, who only wanted to conduct research alone.
"Good~"
Suzuki Tomoko chuckled, then suddenly reached out and pushed Natsume off the edge of the hot spring pool. She then jumped into the water herself, letting the water cover her entire body, and swam towards Natsume underwater, just like before.
The dim light in the water was still provided by that dutiful lantern.
Ripples constantly spread across the surface of the hot spring water.
The gentle murmur of the water evokes contemplation.
Because of the sound of water, Xia Ye did not hear footsteps approaching the room.
soon--
"Mr. Xia Ye?"
"Are the lights in the room broken?"
The door to the hot spring room was opened, and a cell phone flashlight illuminated half of the room, as well as Natsume and Suzuki Tomoko in the hot spring pool. The newcomer's face turned pale with fear, and he was about to scream.
"Shut up!"
The authoritative and cold command made her cover her mouth tightly, not daring to make a sound.
To die To die!
I'm fucking insane!
The lights in the soup room went out, so what? Why did I come to check? Now look what's happened, I've witnessed such a shocking scene, I'm definitely going to be silenced right now!
I'm only eighteen!
I don't want to die at all!
The maid, Yuko, was filled with regret, deep regret! Her face pale, she knelt on the ground, choking back tears, and said, "Madam, if I say I didn't see anything, will you believe me?"
Chapter 118 Go and serve the emperor!
In the Japanese-style room between the bathhouses.
The lights that had been deliberately turned off because Suzuki Tomoko had tripped the circuit breaker have now been turned on again.
After Natsume and Suzuki Tomoko finished dressing, they sat on the tatami mat. Beside them, Yuko, the maid who had caught them in the act, lowered her head tremblingly, staring at her toes, not daring to even breathe loudly.
"Xia Ye, what do you suggest we do with this child?"
Suzuki Tomoko looked languidly at her maid, her slender hand supporting her cheek. A cold smile slowly crept onto her lips. "How about we have her encased in cement and sunk in Dongdu Bay?"
"Madam, no!"
Yuko looked flustered and quickly begged for mercy.
She knew the lady wasn't joking.
Having worked in this household for almost two years, how could she not have heard the rumor that this beautiful lady's hobby was to drown those who disobeyed her in Dongdu Bay? She had heard it with her own ears, and it was absolutely true!
"What should we do then, Yuko?"
Tomoko Suzuki sighed feigning concern, "You saw something you shouldn't have. If you tell anyone, my reputation will be ruined. I can't take that risk."
"lady!"
"I absolutely will not tell anyone!"
Seeing that the lady's tone had softened, Yuko quickly assured her that even if she hadn't been discovered, she would have kept what she saw today to herself and would never tell anyone. If the lady had told anyone, the lady wouldn't have done anything, but she would have been dead for sure—that was a result she didn't even need to think about!
I really want to believe you~
A hint of a smile appeared in Tomoko Suzuki's beautiful eyes, but her pretty face remained serious as she said, "However, as I said before, I can't take the risk, unless—"
"Unless what?"
Yuko looked as if she had been granted a pardon, her expression urgent:
"I will do whatever you ask me to do, Madam!"
"Hmm... Yuko, you're quite pretty, and you have a great figure too~"
