Chapter 98: Zhang Yuan!

H-HUH? Zhang Fumin's eyes shrunk in shock upon hearing Yuan's words and she turned her eyes to Ning Xia who was clearly fidgeting.

Feeling her gaze, Ning Xia lowered her head and her body shuddered as she glanced at Yuan in the corner of her eyes.

╥_╥ 'W-Why would you tell her that, Young Lord.'

Zhang Fumin's heart burned in rage as she clasped her palm in anger "THAT HORRENDOUS BITCH!"

"I never knew she broke your profound core."

Taking a deep breath, she calmed down and glanced at Ning Xia, her eyes trembling "Sorry, Xia.. because of me."

Ning Xia hurriedly shook her head "N-No... Young Lady, it's not your fault to begin with..."

She moved her eyes to Yuan and a smile appeared on her lips "Young Lord healed me after all... s-so it's good."

Zhang Fumin walked to Yuan and hugged him tightly, her eyes closing in his embrace "Thank you, Yuan..." she breathed under her lips.

Yuan hugged her back, his fingers gripping her waist as a chuckle escaped his lips.

Retracting the hug a little, Zhang Fumin kept her arms around his shoulders and asked "I never knew you could also heal damaged Profound core..."

"Little brother, did you regain your memories?"

Yuan smiled dryly and replied "I didn't lose any memory... I remember everything."

Hearing this, Zhang Fumin rolled her eyes "Yeah.. you keep saying that."

Letting out a sigh, she again hugged him, whispering in his ear "Thank you so much.. Little brother."

Yuan smiled faintly "You already thanked me enough..."

"What's wrong with thanking you again... huh?"

Chuckling, he hugged her even tighter, pressing her body onto him...

Ning Xia gaze softened seeing their hug and smiled at their bond.

...

It was already night, Zhang Fumin, Yuan and Ning Xia were having dinner at the small dining table in the kitchen.

"Haha..."

Chuckles and giggles echoed through the room, creating a lively atmosphere as they continued their meal.

As they were talking, Ning Xia remembered something and stole glances at Yuan "By the way... Young Lady, where will Young Lord stay tonight? We have only two rooms..."

Hearing the question, Zhang Fumin frowned and spoke "No problem, he can sleep with me."

N-Ning Xia was dumbfounded "Young lady? In your... room with you?"

Zhang Fumin raised an eyebrow and chuckled "Don't worry, my little brother won't lay his hands on me."

"RIght? Yuan..."

Yuan gave a faint nod as he continued his meal "Yeah..."

...

Yuan opened the wooden door and steeped inside. Turning his gaze he saw Zhang Fumin preparing the bed, her body enriched by the soft glow of the moon light peeking through the window.

Zhang Fumin smiled gently "Wait a minute, Little Brother... let me prepare the bed."

As he looked at the bed, Yuan was surprised, and seeing his face, Zhang Fumin smiled "Do you remember this bed? The one you gave me when we first met in the forest."

"Yeah..."

'I don't want... that...'

A small smile appeared on his lips 'She is making an Absolute being like me,, roll into emotions.'

At this time, the door swung open and Ning Xia came with a cup of ginger tea in her hands "Young lady... here is your morning tea."

Placing the tea on the night table, she glanced at Zhang Yuan "Would you like tea too, Young Lord?" she asked with a beaming.

With a nod, Zhang Yuan got down from the bed and smiled "Yeah.."

Ning Xia bowed her head and turned to Zhang Fumin "Young lady, I have filled the bath with hot water."

Zhang Fumin showed a gentle smile "Thank you, Xia..."

...

After freshening up a bit, Zhang Yuan entered the kitchen and saw that Ning Xia is meticulously working in the kitchen preparing breakfast.

Looking at him, Ning Xia smiled and handed him over a cup of tea "Here, Spirit blossom tea made with Spirit leaves and Earth berries."

With a nod, Zhang Yuan took the cup from her hand and spoke "Xia, when are you going to start cultivating?"

Hearing this, Ning Xia giggled "Young Lord, I already have a lot of chores to do and I don't have time to cultivate."

Zhang Yuan frowned slightly and Ning Xia continued "And Young Lord, you also have some jobs to do."

"You need to go and help Aunty Shen."

...

Zhang Yuan was walking through the streets and everyone stopped their work to take a good look at him.

"Was it him?"

"Yeah... it was him with Fifth Princess yesterday..."

"Eyyyy."

He quickly arrived at the inn of Ling Shen and from a distance, he saw that many men were working on the inn.

As he walked closer, he saw Ling Shen standing outside and she also noticed him "Ahhh, little brother, you are here."

Zhang Yuan gave a faint nod and Ling Shen spoke with a giggle "See, I have already started the work. I hope we can finish the work quickly before the tournament."

"Umm..."

However, at this time, a faint voice was heard and Ling Shen hurriedly turned back to look at the beautiful woman.

Seeing her, Ling Shen gaped in shock and hurriedly bowed "First Princess."

Xiangli Fei nodded her head and spoke "I... liked the food here so I came to have breakfast... but seems like, you are renovating the place."

Ling Shen raised her head and spoke in a respectable tone "Yes, Your Highness..."

Xiangli Fei smiled faintly "I see..."

Ling Shen saw one of the workers placing the vase in the wrong place and hurried to him "Oii!! What are you doing!!"

As she left, Xiangli Fei looked at the handsome man in the corner of her red eyes and smiled.

Hm? Feeling someone tugging at his robes, Zhang Yuan turned his head to look at Xiangli Fei.

"Um... can we talk privately?"
