Immortality Starts With Selling Pills

Chapter 53: Chapter 53: The Fuck Is Happening?

Instead of a quick shower like always, Derrick thought of taking a long, relaxing bath.

”But if I enter the bath now, I might fall asleep.” In the end he chose the shower.

He removed his shoes and walked in barefoot with his clothes still on. Derrick had forgotten to remove them before.

I am too lazy to remove my clothes too.

Derrick let the water fall on him directly.

Unlike the bath, the shower used water like liquid and not a smile.

Just then...

Knock!

”Derrick, I want to use the bathroom as well.” Cassie’s voice came from the other side.

”Come in.” Derrick frowned but did not care much since he was dressed anyway.

He just waved his hands and covered the area between the toilet and shower with a thin illusionary wall that acted like a curtain.

He heard the door opening and closing.

Derrick shook his head to shake off the water from his face and hair.

”Why do you have clothes on?” Hearing the voice directly behind him, Derrick almost jumped and turned around.

”What are you doing here?”

Cassie had already turned off the screen and was standing there.

”I came to take these.” She showed him the box with the pills. ”I thought it was better to take them in your presence than alone.”

She walked up to the bathtub and turned the tap on, and it started to get filled with the blue gel on its own.

Then she proceeded to remove the layers of the outfit she was wearing.

”Is there any need to do that?” Seeing her standing there with nothing but her black lingerie set.

”You might be comfortable in bathing like that, but I am not.” Cassie rolled her eyes and climbed inside the bath.

She had decided to keep the underwear on.

She placed the pill box on the edge of the tube and sat down.

”I am going to take it.” Despite her casual words before, she looked oddly serious while taking the pill.

Derrick nodded and pumped out shampoo in his hands and applied it to his hair and neck.

Cassie trusted Derrick and took the pill.

The pills slipped through her throat and dissolved in her stomach. A wave of warmth spread through her body. She closed her eyes and let the energy disperse throughout her body.

Derrick could see beads of sweat forming on her body. It took 20 minutes before the effects of the first pill disappeared.

She opened her eyes and undertook the second pill.

It took her the same time as before.

Then on the next pill, it took her 19 minutes to absorb the effects of the pill.

And for the final pill to be absorbed... it took her 15 minutes.

This did not mean her body was getting used to the power of the pill, but it was adapting to the absorption of the pill.

So each time the absorption speed may have been faster, but the effects she absorbed were the same.

After absorbing the final pill, she opened her eyes to meet Derrick’s calm and piercing stare.

”It seems you like you need more pills.” Derrick walked over to Cassie. ”Open your mouth.”

Cassie did not question or say anything and followed his instructions.

Derrick flipped his palm downwards and summoned the pill from the system. Without touching his wet hand, the pill fell into her mouth.

”Think of it as my talent. I can store anything I want in a separate space, but don’t tell anyone about this.”

Cassie calmly nodded and closed her eyes to absorb the pill.

Derrick once again used his All Seeing Eyes and followed the energy spreading in her body.

’This is not enough. She needs another pill to push through her boundary.’

Cassandra’s body was hot as fire right now.

Even though she was not showing a violent reaction like Derrick, who had taken many pills at once, the energy in her body was mending her body and tempering it on a molecular level to evolve it.

”Open up.” Just as the last pill’s effects were about to disperse, Derrick whispered, and she followed. Derrick dropped the 6th pill in her mouth, and once it settled in her stomach, a torrent of energy filled her body.

”Ugh!!!” Cassie groaned in pain as the energy started snapping her muscles and mending them.

The process was slow and grueling.

Her soft moans slowly turned into painful howls and heart-wrenching screams.

Derrick wanted to rush to help her, but he steeled himself to stand where he was and not to interrupt the crucial process she was going through.

This step was the final hurdle she had to cross herself to reach the next realm.

...

At the same time, as if sensing the pain of her daughter, Rebecca’s eyes fluttered open and she slowly got up from the sofa.

”Derrick?” She looked around but did not see her children. She knew Cassie was home from her bag, but they were not even in their room.

”Are they in the bathroom?” She thought one of them might be in the bathroom or both. Since two people could use the bathroom at the same time, it was not a big deal.

She climbed the stairs, and as expected, Derrick’s shoes were lying before the gate.

”Derrick? Cassie?” She knocked on the door lightly, but no voice replied.

To be sure nothing disturbed her process, Derrick had activated both-way sound dampening function.

Rebecca could not help but overthink being the worried mother she was. ’Did he fall asleep inside? He looked so tired before.’

If it was someone else, they would need the permission of the person inside to open the door. But she was the owner of the house.

The moment her fingers touched the handle of the door, they read her fingerprints, and the blue light flickered around the gate before it opened and she saw the scene inside.

The scene she saw inside left her shocked and startled.

Derrick was standing in the middle of the room, with unconscious Cassie in his arms.

The first thing he noticed was Cassie’s snapped bra hovering over the bath gel, and her breasts were hanging bare before them.

”Wha—”
