In other words, for now, they have to use other methods to protect themselves.
Fortunately, they spend most of their time in the village, so Luo Yang doesn’t need to go to the trouble of staying by their side.
If they need to go to the company in the county town, he will accompany them.
"Niu Zai, when can we learn to do it?" Qiao Zai Shui asked.
"One cannot rush it. As long as you are committed, you will surely learn it," Luo Yang encouraged.
From his perspective, given the physical fitness of the Er Qiaos, they might never learn the unique skill in their lifetime.
Some things are just not appropriate to say directly to them.
If told, the Shuang Qiao would be very disappointed.
Not everyone can become a master.
Reality is that cruel, the Er Qiaos are already in a bad mood, and Luo Yang doesn’t want to hit them with more bad news.
Qiao Yousi asked curiously, "Niu Zai, you said you had something to tell us?"
Calling them out was to give them something for self-defense.
Luo Yang responded, "Yes."
Seeing that he hesitated as if he had more to say.
Qiao Zai Shui asked, "Niu Zai, what has happened?"
Exhaling a puff of smoke, Luo Yang smiled and said, "Nothing. Big Sister Qiao, Little Sister Qiao, you must swear that you won’t tell anyone about what I’m about to say to you tonight."
The Shuang Qiao were taken aback, feeling as lost as if in a five-mile fog, unable to distinguish north, south, east, or west.
They hadn’t even heard what Luo Yang was about to say, and Qiao Zai Shui coldly chuckled, "Are we muddled, or is your head spinning? You haven’t made it clear, how can we swear to anything?"
So Luo Yang softly repeated it, and finally said, "You must not let anyone know, or else if others are on guard against you, you won’t be able to use it when you need to."
Learning that it was a powder for self-defense, Qiao Yousi said, "Niu Zai, does it really work?"
Actually, Luo Yang had never used it on anyone yet.
However, he believed that the formulas in the "Shennong Scripture" were reliable.
"It should be effective," Luo Yang said.
"Should doesn’t equal reality," Qiao Zai Shui replied with a cold laugh.
That was also the truth.
Unable to find someone to test it on at the moment, Luo Yang smiled, "Anyway, it should be effective."
Then Qiao Zai Shui came up with a suggestion, and with a sly smile, she said, "Niu Zai, why not try it on you and see how it works? If it’s ineffective, wouldn’t that be a huge embarrassment?"
At this, Luo Yang was taken aback.
He had been considering testing it on some ruffian, but unexpectedly Qiao Zai Shui wanted to use him as the test subject. ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ꜰʀᴏᴍ novel•fire.net
"Little Sister Qiao, that’s not a good idea," Luo Yang refused politely.
"You made the drug, so you have the antidote, right?" Qiao Yousi stated.
He didn’t have an antidote.
However, the water from the pond in the "Shennong Scripture" paintings was indeed a panacea.
Seeing him nod, Qiao Zai Shui said, "Niu Zai, then let’s try it on you to see the effect."
As she spoke, she reached out for that self-defense powder from Luo Yang.
Luo Yang said, "Big Sister Qiao, Little Sister Qiao, you must promise first not to tell anyone, including your parents."
The Shuang Qiao swore to heaven.
After they finished swearing, Luo Yang then gave each of them a small packet.
Qiao Zai Shui opened the packet and said, "Niu Zai, should I just throw this on you?"
Before she could finish, she had already scattered it on him.
Luo Yang hadn’t even agreed when his head and face were already covered in the powder.
At first, it seemed like nothing.
Seeing Luo Yang smiling wryly, Qiao Zai Shui coldly chuckled, "Niu Zai, are you trying to fool us with this? It has no effect."
No sooner had she spoken than she saw Luo Yang frown, clearly in some discomfort.
Luo Yang only felt his skin burning up, as the pain seared from the surface to his heart, unbearably uncomfortable.
What was more frightening was that his nerves seemed dull, his limbs slow to respond to his desire to move.
It was clear that the powder indeed could be used for self-defense.
