Luo Yu and the others were shopping outside while Feng San Yuan and the others were teasing Little Hao’er who had just arrived in the Manor. Xuanyuan Mo Ze was waiting for Feng Jiu outside the pill refining room in the back courtyard.
When he smelt the scent of medicine wafting out of the courtyard, Xuanyuan Mo Ze’s lipe raised slightly. Even though he couldn’t see her, he knew that she was refining pills inside. That gave him a very solid feeling.
It wasn’t until the sky was getting dark when the movement in the pill refining room calmed down and Feng Jiu walked out in messy casual clothes with a happy smile on her face.
When she walked out of the courtyard and saw the figure sitting under the tree outside the courtyard, she froze for a moment: “Ze?”
“It’s me.” Xuanyuan Mo Ze responded. He stood up and walked towards her: “How are you? Are you well?”
“It’s really you!” Feng Jiu smiled happily and said: “I’m fine, I told you not to worry about me. When did you arrive?”
“I arrived around noon. Uncle Xiao told me you were refining pills, so I waited here for you.” He stretched his hand out and wiped the ash from her face, then he said: “I’m relieved to see that you are fine.”
“Why did you wait here for me? You should have gone to the courtyard to rest.” She took his hand and asked: “Are you tired?”
“I’m not tired.” The corners of his lips curled slightly and revealed a smile.
“Let’s return to the courtyard! I have been refining pills all day in the pill refining room, my whole body smells like medicine. Let’s go back and take a bath before we talk.”
“Sure.” He responded and led her to the courtyard.
“By the way, where is Little Hao’er? Is Leng Shuang with him? Has he been well behaved on the journey?” Feng Jiu asked as they walked.
Xuanyuan Mo Ze nodded: “Yes, he has been well behaved along the way. Your Father and the others have been playing with him ever since we arrived, he’s still in his arms right now.”
“It has been a long time since we’ve had such a small child in the family, and he loves little children. Since Hao’er is so adorable, it’s only natural that he can’t stop playing with him.” Feng Jiu said with a smile: “My Elder Brother is making preparations for his wedding. I wanted to refine some medicinal pills and liquid for him so that he can take them to the Ye Family as dowry.”
“Uncle Xiao told me all about it. Although it is for your Elder Brother’s wedding, you should still take it easy. Don’t refine pills all day, your body won’t be able to bear it.” He warned worriedly.
“Yes, I know.” She responded with a smile.
Back in the courtyard, Feng Jiu asked the maid to prepare hot water. Then, she got into the tub behind the screen and soaked in her bath. In the inner chamber, on the other side of the screen, Xuanyuan Mo Ze was lying on the bed resting with his eyes closed. When he heard the sound of the bathing water enter his ear, he asked: “How were things when you arrived over there? Did you meet the owner of the Black Lotus? How did you escape?”
When he spoke of this, he opened his eyes and turned his head towards the screen slightly. He saw a looming figure with black hair scattered, as she washed her body with her hand. He was unable to take his eyes away from the obscured beauty.
“Me? I didn’t fall into his hands. If I had fallen captive to him, it would take a lot of effort to escape from such a situation.”
Feng Jiu smiled as she scooped up a handful of water: “The array in the sky sucked me in and sent me to the other side. I killed the black-robed cultivator just as I was about to fall, then I used camouflage to trick them into thinking that I had left. In actual fact, I was hiding in space. They thought that I had a teleportation treasure on me and used the teleportation array to escape!”
