Chapter 18

After talking to the butler, Feng Yi looked at the full page of keywords he had written down in his notes and felt his headache worsen.

According to the butler, these two fangs would continue to grow. When they stopped growing, it would mean they were fully developed, and the toothache would disappear.

But before that, the pain would continue. Painkillers were ineffective, so he had to find other ways to deal with it or just tough it out.

Feng Yi suddenly thought, with such a big commotion from growing fangs, would his cheeks swell up when the venom glands developed, like mumps?

Would he have to endure the pain of mumps?

Feng Yi felt a darkness cloud his vision.

No wonder the butler said that the pain accompanying the evolution process could only be endured by himself.

Could it be transferred to someone else?

Feng Yi rubbed his temples.

He decided not to think about the venom glands for now and focus on solving the problem of eating.

The butler suggested a process of liquid diet—semi-liquid—soft food—normal diet. Feng Yi wouldn't make things difficult for himself in this matter.

Reducing chewing would also reduce the burden on his teeth and alleviate the pain.

So, the blender, juicer, and meat grinder all came into play. Kitchen appliances that hadn't been used much since they were bought started to run at high capacity—there was too much food to process.

Fish and shrimp? Blended!

Pork ribs? Deboned and blended!

Vegetables and fruits were juiced, and rice was ground into a paste.

Feng Yi mocked himself: others chew slowly, but he slurped everything.

Recently, his body was busy evolving, requiring more energy, so his appetite had increased again. Sufficient food was needed to provide enough nutrition and energy.

He also had to pay attention to the temperature of the food.

Feng Yi had never felt the cold and hot stimulation of food so clearly before.

Every time he opened his mouth to eat or speak, the two large fangs would move, causing pain several times worse than pulpitis. So, meal times seemed to drag on.

He had to eat and talk, but these weren't the most painful.

The most painful was brushing his teeth! Especially those two large fangs!

Compared to the two large fangs, the pain from the other teeth was minor.

After brushing his teeth with great difficulty, Feng Yi decided to immediately change his toothpaste!

He originally planned to order toothpaste online, but either the variety was limited or the product descriptions were not detailed enough. He also needed to stock up on some kitchen appliances, so he decided to go to a large supermarket.

He couldn't control the two fangs yet, so he had to wear a mask when going out until he could control their extension, otherwise, it would be scary.

Although the two fangs would retract when his mouth was closed, if they popped out while talking, it would be hard to explain. Wearing a mask was safer.

During working hours on a weekday, the supermarket wasn't very crowded.

At this time, most people were buying groceries, and the fresh produce section was bustling, while the oral care section was relatively quiet. Feng Yi was the only one standing in front of the two rows of shelves.

Feng Yi sighed as he looked at the entire wall of toothpaste, toothbrushes, and mouthwashes, then began to carefully read the descriptions on the packaging of various oral care products.

Perhaps because Feng Yi had been standing there for too long, looking indecisive, a salesperson approached and asked, "Hello, can I help you with anything?"

Feng Yi, who was already frustrated by the descriptions, said, "Thank you, I want to buy toothpaste. I've been having toothaches recently."

The salesperson asked, "What kind of toothache do you have? Is it a cavity? Wisdom teeth? Or an injury from some other reason?"

Feng Yi: Emmmm

How should he answer?

After carefully feeling, Feng Yi said, "All of them."

The salesperson: "……"

The look in the salesperson's eyes seemed filled with sympathy and pity.

"Let me briefly explain the different types, and you can see which one suits you best?"

Feng Yi nodded in thanks.

Then, the salesperson explained the types of toothpaste suitable for various conditions like gingivitis, periodontal disease, and tooth decay. Feng Yi felt another wave of pain in his mouth.

After finishing the explanation, the salesperson turned around.

Feng Yi stood there, frowning.

The salesperson said, "Don't worry, all the brands I recommended are well-known, with good quality and a good reputation. They sell very well."

"Oh, oh! Yes, they sound good."

Feng Yi came to his senses and picked one of each type of toothpaste the salesperson had recommended and put them in his shopping cart.

Seeing this, the salesperson quickly advised, "You don't need to buy so many. Some of them can be used interchangeably."

Feng Yi: "I want to try which one works best. I won't waste them; I'll definitely use them all up."

He brushed his teeth two to three times a day, and even after his teeth stopped hurting, he would continue to brush them carefully. If his teeth had problems, who would he turn to?

A dentist? A veterinarian?

Neither!

Seeing Feng Yi's determination, the salesperson didn't persuade him further and asked, "Do you need a toothbrush? I can introduce you to different types. Different toothbrushes have different functions."

"Uh, yes."

To clean his mutated teeth without damaging them, which type of toothbrush should he use?

He had to try to find out!

Buy! Must buy!

Hearing this, the salesperson smiled and said, "Oh! Let me introduce you to them!"

Then, the salesperson skillfully introduced the different designs, materials, flexibility, cleaning power, efficiency, and capabilities of the toothbrushes. Additionally, there were other dental cleaning and care products.

Different shapes of brush heads? Square? Diamond? Small head, large head?

Buy!

Different arrangements of bristles? Flat, wavy, cross, irregular...

Buy it!

Different designs of handles? Straight, curved, flexible?

Buy, buy, buy! Buy them all!

Electric toothbrush?

Oh, he already had one.

Water flosser?

Was it necessary?

Forget it, buy it and try it out.

In the past 20 years of his life, Feng Yi had never tried so many different types of toothbrushes, but this time, he bought them all.

Since he couldn't use medication to relieve the pain, he would choose the most suitable tools to reduce it as much as possible.

Feng Yi decided to make a table when he got home and write down his experience with each dental care product. He would use this as a reference for future purchases.

Seeing him buy over ten toothbrushes with such determination, the salesperson enthusiastically introduced teeth whitening products.

Feng Yi's reaction was cold.

Whitening?

Why would he whiten those two large fangs?

Cleaning them would be enough, let alone whitening?

They could dream!

Skipping the whitening products, Feng Yi asked about the types of mouthwash: "I need a gentle, non-irritating one. Oh, by the way, do you have any recommendations for children's mouthwash and toothpaste?"

The ones he had bought earlier were for adults, but the old butler had said that children's products were recommended initially, so he still needed to buy some children's toothpaste and switch to adult products when his teeth were fully developed.

The salesperson recommended a few gentle mouthwashes for adults and then walked to the other end of the shelf, "Children's products are over here."

The salesperson asked, "How old are you?"

Feng Yi: "Twenty-four..."
