``` "By the way, how many boxes of Beauty Mud did we package from the batch we pulled back the other day?" Suddenly remembering something, Xia Liu hurriedly asked. "Including the leftovers from before, there were a total of four thousand boxes, and now there's not a single one left," Liu Lanxin said excitedly. Xia Liu was even more excited than Liu Lanxin. Four thousand boxes, that's eighty million in sales! According to the agreement with Liu Lanxin, he was guaranteed at least forty million, plus a twenty-million share of the forty million, which made sixty million! In just a few short hours, he had earned sixty million! "Congratulations, Xia Liu, I'll transfer the money to you when we get back," Liu Lanxin had just calculated Xia Liu's account, which would receive sixty million. "Mutual congratulations, with sales of eighty million, that's more than other pharmaceutical companies make in ten days to half a month. It would be hard not to win the bid this time," Xia Liu said with a beaming smile, feeling more and more that this trip was well worth it, and planned to head back into the mountains immediately upon returning. He aimed to gather a large sum of money in the shortest time possible and then start constructing the village. When the car returned to the villa complex, there were many Liu Family members standing at the entrance, led by Liu Buyi. Although they did not go to the auction site, they had understood everything through the TV. Moreover, the news from various sales stores shocked them; ever since Mo Wanqing succeeded in testing the product and Xia Liu announced that Beauty Mud could be purchased at Tianluo Pharmacy, Binlai City was stirred up. Whether fat or thin, beautiful or ordinary, any woman with savings rushed to the Tianluo Pharmacies like crazy. As a result, Beauty Mud was snatched up in no time, and the women who couldn't buy it were so frustrated that they started causing a scene. In the end, the police arrived at the scene to stabilize the situation. Before more Beauty Mud was available, the storefronts were crowded with people waiting to buy it as soon as it was restocked. And all of this was because of Xia Liu, who brought back the long-lost liveliness to the Liu Family, and even sent them to the peak! "Old man, what's this all about?" Seeing Liu Buyi leading a group of people standing at the entrance, Xia Liu stopped the car and inquired. "Heh, we've all come to welcome you," Liu Buyi said with a smile. "Ah, what's there to welcome, let's go inside. Don't get heatstroke under this blazing sun," said Xia Liu, somewhat speechlessly. But considering it from another perspective, it was normal. If an outsider had made a significant change to the family, it was natural for the family members to be grateful. Liu Buyi had already instructed people to prepare a spread of dishes in the villa, and Xia Liu and Liu Lanxin were led straight to the table upon their return. The Liu Family members were all full of praise for Xia Liu; the appearance of Beauty Mud had completely changed the Liu Family. Read exclusive chapters at empire They knew without a doubt that once the bidding deadline arrived, the terrifying sales volume from Beauty Mud would surely lead the Liu Family to victory. After dinner, Xia Liu declined everyone's entreaties to stay and resolutely drove home. If it weren't for Xia Liu needing to return to make Beauty Mud, Liu Buyi definitely wouldn't have let him leave. After being away for a few days and returning to Osmanthus Village, Xia Liu felt quite nostalgic, especially for the two girls at home and Zhang Qing. Seeing Xia Liu return, the villagers greeted him one after another. After responding to them, Xia Liu hurried home. Seeing the gate closed, Xia Liu thought there was no one at home, but upon entering, he found Zhang Xiaoxue and Zhang Xiaoman watching videos on their cell phones. "Wow! Brother Xia Liu, you're back!" Seeing Xia Liu, Zhang Xiaoxue excitedly ran up and clung to his arm. ``` "Brother Xia Liu, you're on TV, you're going to be famous!" Zhang Xiaoman said as she ran towards him, holding up her cellphone. Xia Liu was slightly startled before he carefully looked at the phone screen, and sure enough, it was a video of himself at the auction. Looking at the number of views below the video, in just a short few hours it had reached 30 million! The comments were even more marvelous; if they had followed Liu Lanxin's original plan and found a random person to test the Beauty Mud, it definitely wouldn't have had this effect. So the widespread success of the Beauty Mud could be credited to Mo Wanqing to a large extent, after all, she frequently appeared in various videos. "Hahaha, we're really going to make it big this time!" Xia Liu laughed uncontrollably. Given the way the video was spreading online, it wouldn't take long before the whole country knew about the Beauty Mud. Just the scene in Binlai City was enough to make Xia Liu sigh in amazement. "Brother Xia Liu, hurry up and tell us what's going on," Zhang Xiaoxue pleaded, swinging Xia Liu's arm. "Damn! This girl's gone heavenly!" After using the Beauty Mud, Zhang Xiaoxue had gone up a size, and Xia Liu could only feel the divine softness his arm was touching. After calming himself down, Xia Liu gave a brief explanation of the situation, then shouldered his basket and headed into the mountains to gather more herbs for the Beauty Mud before sunset. But what Xia Liu hadn't expected was that some of the herbs he needed for the Beauty Mud were proving to be hard to find! Two days earlier, a basketful of herbs took at most two hours to collect. Now, Xia Liu had been searching for nearly three hours, and he had only gathered a few pounds of herbs. Looking at the scant few pounds of herbs, Xia Liu could only shake his head helplessly; these herbs were wild, so if they couldn't be found, there was nothing that could be done. Both the Seven-Leaf Grass and Snow Spirit Flower were extremely precious species, and being able to find a heap of them before was purely luck. "Forget it, I'll come back tomorrow to look for more. These should be enough to make a thousand boxes," Xia Liu sighed and headed out of the woods while it was still light. By the time he got home, it was already dark, but what gave Xia Liu a warm feeling was that both girls had already prepared dinner and were standing at the door looking out for him. After dinner, Zhang Xiaoxue and Zhang Xiaoman helped Xia Liu, one tending the fire and the other cleaning the medicinal materials. After three hours, Xia Liu finally managed to produce the Beauty Mud, which compared to the previous mountain of Medicine Mud, looked somewhat embarrassing. After covering the Beauty Mud with a tarp, Xia Liu gave the girls a few instructions before he left. He hadn't checked on the landscape-moving project for quite a few days, and today seemed like the right time to do so. But before that, he decided to make a trip to Zhang Qing's home first. If Gu Fangxia was there, that would be great, as he could ask about the details of the project. If she wasn't there, that would be even better, because after stockpiling for so many days, he had returned home to be teased by two innocent-looking girls. Just as he entered the yard, Xia Liu saw Zhang Qing washing eggplants. Zhang Qing also spotted him, and the next second, she tossed the eggplants aside, ran up to Xia Liu, grabbed him, and without saying a word, immediately rushed indoors. Soon after, various contrasting sounds could be heard from inside the house, and about an hour later, Zhang Qing collapsed on the sofa, panting heavily. "It's been days since I last saw you, and you're still such a monster," Zhang Qing said contentedly as she looked at Xia Liu. Before seeing him, she was convinced she could take care of him in thirty minutes. But in the end, she was too confident. Even if she had returned to her youthful prime, or even surpassed her peak condition, she was still no match for Xia Liu and had to beg for mercy.
