Chapter 97: Healing!

A little later, the three of them came out of the kitchen and saw that Xiangli Fei had already left the inn.

Ling Shen panicked and rushed out of the inn "Ahhhh, as I was speaking in the kitchen, I forgot to tend to her and she fricking LEFT!!!"

"Ahhh what am I going to do? Will I get killed for royal treason.... Oh god NO! Just when I thought, my life was about to get good."

She yelled out in anxiety as she couldn't find Xiangli Fei outside "What to do? What to do?"

Ning Xia also came out of the inn and spoke "Aunty Shen, she has placed the money for the meal on the table."

"And she also told me that she liked the food here and will drop here when she has time."

WHAT? Ling Shen was shaken to the core and rushed inside the table where she was eating, and saw that there is a small pouch of silver coins.

With a proud smile, she looked at Zhang Fumin "See? Even the first princess... who must have tons of royal food, liked my cooking. hehe."

Looking at her getting excited, Zhang Fumin nodded her head "I told you, your cooking is so good. Once we renovate this inn, people are going to flock here."

"Yes, Yes..."

Ling Shen took the silver coins from the table and spoke "We can start the renovation from tomorrow."

With a smile, Zhang Fumin nodded her head and spoke "Then, we are leaving Aunty Shen. We will drop by later for dinner."

"Hehe, ok."

...

Back in Zhang Fumin's room, Zhang Fumin was sitting on the bed and cultivating with a shard floating on her palm to increase her cultivation speed.

Yuan stepped out of the home and saw Ning Xia watering the plants in the small garden and he walked closer to her "Xia..."

Ning Xia was startled and hurriedly turned her head "Young Lord... do you need something?"

Yuan shook his head and spoke in a soft tone "I was just... checking on you."

With a beaming smile, Ning Xia spoke "Don't worry about me, Young Lord. I have a strong body."

Giggling, she went to the nearby well to fetch some water from it.

She closed her eyes in bliss feeling his gentle pat and twirled her fingers nervously "Y-Young Lord."

However, at this time, Ning Xia's eyes widened as she felt something churn in her stomach and she hurriedly touched her abdomen "Uhh... what?"

As she blinked her eyes, she felt a sudden energy swept through her body and mumbled in disbelief "Huh? What happened just now?"

She felt the profound core inside her dantian absorbing the profound energy from the atmosphere and was taken aback.

"i-I... my profound core... how?"

She turned her head and saw the soft smile dancing on her lips as he spoke "You are a brave girl, Xia. I have restored your profound core... Now you can cultivate."

Ning Xia's body shuddered and a wave of happiness washed over her heart by the unexpected situation as she dashed forward plunging herself into his arms.

"Young... Lord..."

Yuan's eyes shook as he felt the weird happy emotions filling his heart and smiled 'This woman is also... capable of giving me these fluttering emotions.'

He hugged her back and closed his eyes 'Xia...'

Ning Xia raised her head to look into his eyes and spoke in a sincere tone "Thank you very much, Young Lord... b-but how can you restore... profound core. Isn't that impossible if not for rare Heaven and Earth treasures?"

Yuan patted her head and spoke "I can..."

Ning Xia's purple eyes trembled as she looked into his tender eyes "En, Young Lord... you can even heal my injuries... haha."

Yuan gave a faint nod and tucked a strand of her blonde hair behind her ear and seeing his sudden intimate move, Ning Xia blushed hard as she slowly pulled herself away from his arms.

Her gaze dropped to the floor as she shyly spoke "Young... Lord..."

Seeing the cute young woman, Yuan could only sigh feeling a surge of emotions stir his heart and spoke "Let me help with gardening, Xia..."

"E-Ehhh young Lord, you don't have to."

"I insist."
