Awakening The Gluttony Talent: I Become Stronger By Eating Chapter 47

47 The Miraculous Beauty Sustaining Pill

In contrast to the joyously beaming faces of his two children, Giovanna's happy face was tinged with a touch of worry.

Previously, Giovanna had always worried that Lu Yu was getting on in age and did not have many years of life left.

Now she no longer had to worry about him. Lu Yu with his Great Martial Master ability, was at the prime of his life at the age of 90. If all went well, he could easily live to the age of 200 or 300 years.

However, now Giovanna began to worry about herself. She too, was getting older. In fact, now she appeared much older than Lu Yu, and she was beginning to feel she was not worthy of Lu Yu anymore.

The difference would be especially stark when she had grown frail and wrinkled while Lu Yu became more youthful looking. Giovanna began to feel worried.

Lu Yu seemed to have read her mind. He smiled and said to her, “My dear, you are worried that you're just an ordinary person and will grow frail and wrinkled as you age?”

When her worries were completely exposed by Lu Yu, Giovanna panicked momentarily. She shook her head vehemently and replied, “No such thing! You're thinking too much. It's great that your abilities are so powerful now. You must train hard and become even stronger. There is a whole wide world out there waiting for you to conquer!”

However, deep in her heart, Giovanna sighed sadly and thought, “You will have to explore this whole wide world on your own. I won't be able to accompany you.”

Lu Yu had already guessed what Giovanna was thinking. He didn't expose her thoughts this time, but simply took out an exquisitely crafted little box and put it in front of Giovanna.

“My dear, take a look. Do you know what this is?” Lu Yu smiled tenderly at her.

Giovanna was very puzzled, but still opened up the box. Lu Shan and Lu Shui also leaned over for a closer look out of curiosity.

Inside the exquisitely crafted little box, was a green medicinal pill.

It was completely green, and did not appear very special.

However, once the box was opened, a delightful fragrance wafted outwards. It was very pleasant and appealing.

“What's this?” Giovanna asked with a baffled look. However, immediately after that, she thought of something, but just as quickly, she shook her head, dismissing the possibility outright.

Lu Shan asked doubtfully, “What's this? It smells so nice!”

Lu Shui, however, recognized it instantly. She shouted excitedly, “Isn't this the Beauty Sustaining Pill? It is said that these pills are totally green and emit a very tantalizing fragrance!”

“Beauty Sustaining Pill? What's that?”

Lu Shan was obviously totally clueless in this field, and his bewildered face was ample evidence.

Lu Shui began explaining. “The Beauty Sustaining Pill is refined using more than 10 types of special rare ingredients using a secret method by an expert in the Federation. It is said that after consuming this pill, it can preserve the user's appearance permanently. Even if the user grows old with age, she can still retain her youthful looks! But the Beauty Sustaining Pill has always been a priceless item and is very rare. All those big shots keep trying to get hold of one at great cost, but it is very difficult to get even one pill!”

“Wow! It's so precious?” Lu Shan exclaimed in surprise. He then looked at his father and inquired, “Dad, is this really the Beauty Sustaining Pill?”

Lu Shui and Giovanna also stared at Lu Yu with a puzzled look.

Faced with so many questioning stares from his family, Lu Yu simply smiled and nodded. he then said, “This item was gifted to me by the Patriarch of the Song family. I don't think I need to explain its effect since Lu Shui has already elaborated in detail. My dear, just take the pill now and see the effect for yourself.”

Giovanna was shocked when she heard his words.

As a woman, she was naturally concerned about the well-being of her family. However, in reality, she was also very concerned about her own appearance.

Although Giovanna was much younger than Lu Yu, she was over the age of 40 now. Since she was not a martial arts practitioner, she had begun to show signs of aging.

Her face looked haggard.

For the sake of her family, and in order not to let Lu Yu worry thereby affecting his training, Giovanna had never once broached this subject.

As for the Beauty Sustaining Pill, she was well aware of its properties and its miraculous effects. She too, once coveted this precious item.

However, when she saw how rare it was, and the exorbitant price tag it commanded, Giovanna immediately gave up the idea of getting one. This was not something that she could afford.

Even those influential families and rich wives of the big shots were not able to get hold of a single pill with all their immense wealth, so how could a poor woman like her get one?

Then again, Giovanna never imagined that Lu Yu could get hold of one Beauty Sustaining Pill and place it right here before her very eyes.

“It's for me? I can't possibly eat such a rare precious item. Why don't we sell it off for money to help the children and you in your training?” Giovanna rejected the gift, despite the tremendous heartache she felt inside.

Lu Yu looked at her and smiled with resignation, saying, “My dear, I am a Great Martial Master now. I am also the Dojo Master of the Central Dojo and the captain of the 4th squadron. I am the hero of the whole city. Do you think we will lack money now? Don't worry, in future, we will not have to worry about money anymore. This Beauty Sustaining Pill is specially procured for you. Hurry up and take it!”

Lu Shan and Lu Shui also joined in and urged her.

“That's right, Mom! Dad is so powerful now, we don't have to worry about money anymore. Quickly take the pill!”

“Mom, just go ahead and swallow it! I'm dying to see the effect!”

After listening to Lu Yu, Giovanna came to her senses.

“That's true. Lu Yu is so powerful now. Our family will not lack money henceforth. I should not keep thinking like I did in the old days,” she thought.

Under the urging of her two children, Giovanna smiled and nodded her head. “Fine, fine, fine! I will take the pill now, happy?”

With that, Giovanna took out the pill and popped it into her mouth.

The moment the Beauty Sustaining Pill entered her mouth, the pill dissolved instantly into a pool of greenish fluid and flowed down her throat.

All Giovanna felt was a faint taste somewhat akin to a refreshing sweetness.

Following that, her body began to heat up, as if something was happening inside.

In a short while, the sense of hotness disappeared and she felt nothing afterwards.

“That's it?” Giovanna asked in astonishment.

However, beside her, Lu Shan and Lu Shui sat there staring at her with their mouths agape.

Lu Yu was pleasantly surprised. “This Beauty Sustaining Pill is so incredible! Such a big change!”

Lu Shui dragged Giovanna excitedly to the nearest mirror, gushing breathlessly, “Mom! You look so young now! You look great!”

“Really?”

With a face full of skepticism, Giovanna came near the mirror and was given a big shock.

The person in the mirror looked nothing like a gradually aging housewife who was well over the age of 40. She was clearly a young woman in her 20s, with her peak beauty in full bloom. In fact, she looked like a young girl!

Giovanna touched her face in utter disbelief. All these wrinkles that had started to appear had now completely vanished. The taut skin and flawless collagen-filled face gave off very youthful vibes.

Based on external appearance alone, no one could tell she was in her 40s. It would not be an exaggeration to say she was in her 20s, and maybe even passed off as an 18-year-old.

All of a sudden, Giovanna became overjoyed. She had already heard of the Beauty Sustaining Pill's heaven-defying effects, but she never imagined that it would be so dramatic. In fact, it was even more incredible than what the rumors said. She appeared younger by almost 20 over years!

The most potent effect of the Beauty Sustaining Pill was that it could preserve the user's appearance permanently, thereby ensuring her youthful looks last forever. This meant that no matter how old Giovanna got, she could still maintain this young looking appearance!

At this moment, all the worries that had been bothering Giovanna these past few days vanished in an instant, and she looked very happy indeed.

Lu Shan and Lu Shui were so happy for Giovanna that their little humble abode was filled with their joyous laughter.
