"How could this work?"
Costics, aren’t they all produced by big companies using machines? He bought a bunch of herbs, but without any tools, how could he possibly make anything?"
Although Liu Jingling had a special identity and naturally better skin due to her cultivation, she rarely used costics. Yet, as a girl, she still had so understanding of costics.
"Yes, haha, alright, Miss Liu, thank you for your help. You go ahead with your tasks, I can manage on my own. These herbs are in substantial quantities; I should be able to make more and will give you so when I’m done."
Xiao Yi hadn’t noticed the odd look on Liu Jingling’s face and casually spoke to her while busily handling the herbs and carefully analyzing them. To avoid revealing his formula, he bought a bulk of diverse herbs and was now seriously starting to blend them in proper proportions.
Do I also get so?
Hearing Xiao Yi’s words, the expression on Liu Jingling’s face changed again, and a strange feeling grew in her heart.
"Then, I’ll be nearby. If you need any help, just call ."
Liu Jingling stared blankly at Xiao Yi as he focused on sorting the herbs. Knowing very little about herbs, she didn’t know what to say and felt sowhat bored. After a while, she didn’t want to stand there anymore and spoke to Xiao Yi.
"Alright."
Xiao Yi nodded and responded, then continued to handle the herbs. Grabbing herbs was a basic skill in learning dicine; the old man had made him practice this task since he was young. As a result, his technique was excellent—he rarely made errors in the amount needed, so for so herbs that didn’t require precise asurents, he didn’t use a scale but rather grabbed them by hand.
Organizing, dividing, and blending herbs might seem simple, but in reality, it was not easy at all. Just this task alone took Xiao Yi nearly an hour to complete.
After finishing, the more complex process of brewing the herbs began. However, these complicated steps seed sowhat easier for Xiao Yi because they required less of his energy compared to earlier.
For instance, so herbs needed to be boiled down soft or into a tisane; he just needed to manage the heat, not as intensely focused as before.
Watching Xiao Yi busily moving around in the kitchen, Liu Jingling once again felt a very special sentint arise within her.
This really is a strange person...
Liu Jingling thought silently to herself, the image of Xiao Yi’s sowhat gaunt face with a gentle smile growing increasingly clear in her mind, almost as if it were imprinted there.
All evening, as Xiao Yi was busy, Liu Jingling just sat on the couch, quietly watching him from a distance.
"Oh, Miss Liu, I almost forgot today. I got caught up and overlooked it, sorry, haha."
Finally, after placing so herbs in a brewing pot and turning on a slow fire, Xiao Yi relaxed a bit. This set of herbs needed to be slowly brewed until at least tomorrow noon. With ti not rushing by, he no longer needed to keep an eye on it.
With the preparation he could do already completed, the next steps would only proceed after the herbs were thoroughly brewed.
Having relaxed, when he walked into the living room and saw Liu Jingling gazing dreamily in the direction of the kitchen, he suddenly rembered his daily routine and apologized with a guilty look on his face.
"It’s no problem."
Liu Jingling was staring blankly at the kitchen and was caught off guard by Xiao Yi’s sudden appearance; her face instantly flushed, and after a while, she managed to calm down sowhat.
"Let’s check it now."
Xiao Yi nodded, didn’t say much else, walked over to Liu Jingling, and sat down. Although he had missed the scheduled ti, fortunately, Liu Jingling’s injury was almost fully healed; he was just conducting a routine check-up, so a slight delay wasn’t critical.
"Okay."
Liu Jingling nodded, extending her fair hand outward.
Seeing Liu Jingling extend her hand, Xiao Yi said nothing more; he took her slender wrist in his hand, slightly squinted his eyes, and began seriously listening to her condition.
Watching the composed figure of Xiao Yi, who seed to exude the aura of a grandmaster, Liu Jingling’s emotions inevitably beca complicated again. How did he learn his dical skills? So young, yet already possessing such strong dical expertise.
Her pulse is stable...
After listening to Liu Jingling’s pulse for about a minute, Xiao Yi reopened his eyes and smiled, saying, "Miss Liu, congratulations. From your pulse, your injuries seem to have completely healed. Starting tomorrow, you won’t need to take the dicine anymore."
"Ah?"
For so reason, Liu Jingling, who had always been longing for her injuries to improve, felt no joy at all upon hearing the long-awaited news from Xiao Yi; instead, she felt an inexplicable panic.
It was as if she had heard sothing she didn’t want to hear.
"What’s wrong, Miss Liu? Haven’t you always been looking forward to recovering from your injuries? This is good news, haha, once your injuries are healed, you won’t have to stay in this room all day like now. Moreover, after this period of ti, the Li Family seems to have gradually given up on continuing to pursue you. With your strength, you should be able to leave G City safely."
Xiao Yi smiled and said to Liu Jingling.
Is he urging to leave?
Listening to Xiao Yi’s comforting words with a smile on his face, Liu Jingling pursed her lips lightly, feeling sowhat uneasy in her heart.
At this mont, she finally understood why she had panicked earlier.
Because she didn’t want to leave this place, or rather, she didn’t want to leave Xiao Yi, the young man who had saved her and who she had mistakenly thought was a lecher at the beginning, the Little Divine Doctor.
During the healing process over this period, she had unwittingly developed a fondness for this place and for Xiao Yi, a feeling indescribable and subtle.
This period could be said to be the happiest, most joyful, and most peaceful ti in her life.
Every day, she could savor the delicious food made by Xiao Yi, receive his miraculous Needle Technique, enjoy the wonderful sensations brought by the Needle Technique, and at Xiao Yi’s, she felt no pressure at all, no concerns for safety, completely relaxed.
"Miss Liu, what’s wrong?"
Seeing Liu Jingling pursing her lips tightly and remaining silent, Xiao Yi couldn’t help expressing a bit of surprise.
"Nothing, Mr. Xiao, I’ve imposed on you during this ti,"
Listening to Xiao Yi’s words, Liu Jingling looked up, a fleeting trace of reluctance and sadness in her eyes, replaced by calm and determination. Her tone also regained the calmness she had when she first woke up and saw Xiao Yi.
"It’s nothing, you’re too polite, haha. Having you here this ti has made the house livelier, haha."
Xiao Yi did not expect such a drastic change from Liu Jingling and was slightly stunned before smiling again.
"Mr. Xiao, it’s getting late, Jingling will not disturb you further."
Looking at the smile on Xiao Yi’s face, Liu Jingling took a deep breath, stood up from the couch, calmly spoke to Xiao Yi, and without waiting for him to say anything, she turned and went upstairs.
What... what’s going on?
Why does she seem... suddenly unhappy?
Didn’t I tell her that her injuries were healed? Shouldn’t she be happy?
Watching Liu Jingling’s retreating figure, Xiao Yi’s expression was once again taken aback. Even if he was low in emotional intelligence, he could now sense that sothing was off with Liu Jingling’s tone.
Yet, his mind was completely muddled, totally clueless about why she was unhappy.
They say girls are the strangest creatures in the world, and it seems to be true. Clearly, it was sothing to be happy about, but suddenly she beca unhappy!
After thinking for a while, Xiao Yi still couldn’t understand why Liu Jingling suddenly beca unhappy, so he shook his head helplessly and stopped thinking about it.
It was getting late, and it was ti to cultivate. I wonder if I can make another breakthrough tonight.
Putting aside the situation with Liu Jingling, Xiao Yi glanced at the clock on the wall and also turned to go upstairs, a trace of anticipation flickering in his eyes. Recently, his cultivation had been progressing very rapidly, with significant daily improvents in power. This made him feel joy and added a sense of anticipation towards cultivating.
Maybe, it’s ti to leave!
He is just a passerby in your life!
He has saved you, which is already wonderful. What more can you ask for? Besides, you have many matters of your own to attend to!
In the guest room on the second floor where Liu Jingling was staying, she quietly looked at herself in the mirror, her eyes reflecting a trendously complex emotion.
