3068 Warmth
“Don’t think so much, go to sleep!” He carried her to the big bed and held her in his arms.
She looked exhausted as a result of consuming an excessive amount of spirit energy breath and blue lotus’ life force. She fell into a deep sleep after smelling the familiar scent and being held by the man who made her feel safe.
The following day, at noon.
When Leng Hua came over, he was wondering why his master had not gotten up. By now, his master should have been awake. Why was there no activity today? He was worried, so he was thinking of knocking on the door. But at that moment, he saw that the door had opened, and the Hell’s Lord, who was supposed to be cultivating in seclusion, came out.
!!
“Hell’s Lord?” Leng Hua was taken aback. Wasn’t Hell’s Lord supposed to be in seclusion? Why…
“What do you need her for?” Xuanyuan Mo Ze asked as he walked to the courtyard and took a seat there.
Gray Wolf came out of nowhere, placed the tea on the table and stood quietly to the side.
After giving Gray Wolf a glance, Leng Hua respectfully responded to Xuanyuan Mo Ze. “Yesterday, Master instructed me to register what the people outside the manor had requested. I thought Master should be awake, so I brought the list over for her to take a look.”
The people outside the manor were overjoyed when they heard the news. Even though they were aware that not everyone would be satisfied, they had a glimmer of hope.
“Show it to me.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze said.
“Yes.” Leng Hua replied, took out a book, and handed it to him with both hands.
After receiving the book, Xuanyuan Mo Ze placed it on the table, sipped his tea, then opened the book and read it. What was written there were requests for pills, medicine, and medical treatment. They would each supply their own herbs, and after the request was completed, they would present some rewards.
After going through the registered requests, he estimated that these things should not be too difficult for Feng Jiu, so he said, “You can leave! When she wakes up, I’ll bring it to her.”
“Yes.” Leng Hua replied, then bowed to him and left.
Gray Wolf was unusually quiet and stood aside without saying anything, and Xuanyuan Mo Ze did not open his mouth either. As time passed, Feng Jiu emerged from the room lazily as the sun slanted to the west.
“Awake? Come get something to eat.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze saw Feng Jiu walk through the door and greeted her with a chuckle. There was porridge and sautéed dishes on the table. The dishes were simple and light.
“Why are you getting up so early? You should have rested longer.” Feng Jiu walked over to the table and sat down.
“I couldn’t sleep.” He said this while scooping a bowl of porridge for her.
“How are you feeling today? Extend your hand, I’ll take your pulse.” Feng Jiu told him to reach out so she could take his pulse.
“I feel much better, don’t worry.” He didn’t extend his hand, but instead, put the spoon in hers with a smile. “Eat quickly! You eat first, or else the porridge and side dishes will get cold.”
Feng Jiu glanced at him and nodded. It would be better to finish the meal before examining him! There’s no need to rush, not to mention that he had said last night that he had recovered to seventy percent of his skills, which was a good thing after all.
They ate quietly, like an old couple who had been affectionate for many years, and occasionally helped each other with food. There was a kind of warmth and tacit understanding between them at the dining table.
After the meal, Gray Wolf asked that the table be cleared and then retreated to the courtyard’s exterior. As soon as he exited the courtyard, he noticed Leng Hua waiting for him.
