685 Chapter 685 "Goodbye Dong Xi Academy"

"Huh? Are you sure that Li Shi Ying wants to visit my hometown?" Gu Zhong folded his arms in front of his chest as he asked Jiu Wei who came to his room at this hour. He planned to go back to his country tomorrow too, but for Li Shi Ying to also want to visit his country…

What's going on, really?

"Yes, I'm sure. My mistress needs to find an herb in your country for her health so she asked me to visit you and invite you to join her group, so maybe you can be her guide or something."

Jiu Wei nodded his head with certainty in his eyes. The man stood in front of Gu Zhong's room and didn't actually come inside, so he wanted to finish this task soon in case someone saw them together.

"I see...alright tell her I'll join her group." Gu Zhong still remembered how Li Shi Ying had done so much for him back when they were on the island. A simple request to guide her to his own country was nothing compared to her good deeds.

"Good I'll inform my mistress." Jiu Wei bowed politely before leaving Gu Zhong's room. Now he had got Gu Zhong's agreement, time to serve his mistress as the other beasts did!

While Jiu Wei was walking to Li Shi Ying's room, Gu Zhong, on the other hand, wondered who Jiu Wei was. He never saw this man before but if his memory served him right, isn't this one of the sacred beasts that Li Shi Ying owned?

For Li Shi Ying to use a sacred beast as a mere servant...how extravagant of her!

Li Shi Ying's room

"Milady, here is the tea." Qi Tou had finished brewing Li Shi Ying's favorite tea, fruit tea. The man then immediately gave Li Shi Ying the tea as to not make it cold when the girl drank it later.

"Oh, good timing! I'm thirsty after eating the snacks." Li Shi Ying slowly got up to receive the cup of hot tea from Qi Tou. She didn't know what happened with her beasts to suddenly treat her so well like now, but this wasn't a bad thing.

Xi Xue glared at Qi Tou when he saw Li Shi Ying getting up, stopping his massage midway. He hated it when another beast tried to get his master's attention!

"Master, I'll massage your shoulder now." Xi Xue got on the bed and sat behind Li Shi Ying, preparing to massage the girl's shoulder. He was only waiting for Li Shi Ying to nod her head or say yes.

"Mn okay." Li Shi Ying nodded her head as she smelled the tea first before sipping it slowly. She really liked this fruit tea not only because of the nice smell but also the taste. This tea didn't taste bitter like the usual tea out there.

The tea had mixed taste of sweet, sour and a bit bitter, really suiting her taste. Not to mention that Qi Tou was skilled in any kind of formula making. Brewing tea could be compared to making a poison so maybe this is why Qi Tou's tea tasted good.

"Yes, you know how hard I train these days right. Anyway, the tea is good, Qi Tou you are talented!" Li Shi Ying looked up to Qi Tou and gave him a big thumbs up. After a good cook like Jiu Wei, and a good massage from Xi Xue, now she had a good tea brewer, Qi Tou!

This is why collecting beasts was so much fun.

"Thank you for the praise, milady." Qi Tou silently felt proud that Li Shi Ying praised his skill. He glanced at Xi Xue and Di Yu before harrumphing arrogantly, since he was praised for his skill.

Seeing this, Di Yu was triggered. Only he who didn't do anything aside from feeding Li Shi Ying. He too should have a special skill so his boss wouldn't abandon him!

But he really didn't have any unique skill like Xi Xue, Jiu Wei or Qi Tou...should he turn into a dog and act cute? No. That would be super embarrassing!

Li Shi Ying didn't know her beasts inner thoughts, so the girl only leisurely received all of the service these guys provided without knowing their hidden intention to curry favor with her.

If Li Shi Ying knew, she would laugh out loud thinking that these beasts acted exactly like concubines in an emperor's harem trying to get the emperor's attention.

The next morning…

"Good morning Gu Zhong, sorry to make you come with me." Li Shi Ying had packed up and now she met Gu Zhong outside the inn. She actually should go back to the Academy with the others, but she didn't do so.

The girl silently ran away and didn't have the intention to ever go back to the Academy. She was a cripple anyway, she didn't deserve to be in that academy. There's nothing she could gain in the academy, so…

Goodbye Dong Xi Academy! Goodbye her two best friends too…
