1013: Chapter 626_2 1013: Chapter 626_2 As long as her daughter could get better, she was willing to wait!
Miss Zheng, although in a coma, was aware of the sounds around her!
Plagued by dream demons at night and illusions by day, she constantly felt her soul wandering into darkness!
Her Three Souls and Seven Spirits, although not yet called away, due to being unable to control her body, had remained lying in bed, unable to eat, subsisting on sips of water, emaciated and powerless!
When she awoke, she could feel her body out of her control, immobile, her eyes opened, yet still bewildered!
Wanting to speak, she opened her mouth?
But then she felt her chapped lips and weakly couldn’t utter a word!
After that, she felt a warm sensation spreading throughout her body, the previous weakness slowly allowed her body to recover, before she had no strength to speak.
At this moment, she felt energized, had the strength, and spoke words of gratitude to those who cared for her, especially her mother!
“Mother, I am fine, no need to worry!”
Seeing her wake up, everyone was both surprised and excited; the mother holding her daughter’s hand, her sisters gathered around concerned as well!
“Daughter, it’s wonderful that you’re up!”
The words of Madam Zheng also led the other aunties to comfort:
“Truly like an immortal, a single pill saved our Miss Zheng!”
Miss Zheng felt that the room was no longer as cold as before, so hot that even under the thick quilt she was sweating.
“It’s so hot!”
Miss Zheng wanted to get out of bed, her maid quickly moved to help her up!
“Miss, how are you feeling now?” The maid could feel Miss Zheng’s complexion shifting from its previous pallor to a healthier blush!
They witnessed it with their own eyes; could this be the legendary effects of the Immortal Pill?
No one had ever truly seen an Immortal Pill, because even those Immortal Masters did not live very long.
It is said that the Emperor constantly consumed Immortal Pills given by Immortal Masters, yet that did not stop his aging!
“This Miss is well now, I want to eat, I want to bathe!”
Miss Zheng got up to move her body around and felt lighter than before.
She also smelled an odor on herself, the stench of not bathing for several days, perhaps it was sweat, it made her a bit uncomfortable, no matter that it was broad daylight, she felt so hungry!
The image of a young lady, she must bathe first, have something to eat, and wishes to personally meet the benefactor.
The maids busied themselves, while the outside courtyard was wrecked beyond recognition, the inside of their house was untouched, with a small kitchen in each courtyard, maids and old servants bustling to prepare meals and boil water for Miss Zheng!
While waiting, Miss Zheng took a mirror to examine herself!
She was a bit thinner than before, but that was well in line with their country’s beauty standards, frail and slim were also considered graceful and exquisite!
Madam Zheng watched her daughter, the once pale, emaciated, and sallow face now restored with a healthy glow, though a bit thinner, something that could be gradually remedied!
“Big sister, you seem even more beautiful now?”
Miss Zheng’s sisters and cousins, at this moment, envied her blooming complexion!
Sibling affection, coveting with a hint of jealousy, remained only thoughts in their heads, while outwardly they still showed care and lifted the mood with their words!
Miss Zheng, hearing her sisters’ words, asked her mother, aunties, and sisters to leave first, and said she would meet the benefactor after getting ready!
Men were dining in the living room, and the women of the household should not appear in the grand living room!
But to see such an immortal figure, even a few more glances were considered their good fortune!
The women arranged for the young ladies to be in the adjoining room; with such an immortal presence, they dared not offend or aspire too high!
Madam Zheng, accompanied by her maids and servants, as well as her two younger sisters, arrived at the guest reception area!
“Thank you, Immortal, my daughter has recovered!”
Madam Zheng immediately knelt to pay respects upon entering.
Whether it was Sir Zheng, his brothers, or those young men, upon hearing that Miss Zheng had recovered, they joyfully stood up and knelt to pay respects to the Immortal in front of them!
Every one of them knelt down, and those who followed them in also knelt down in respect!
“Thank you, Immortal, thank you, benefactor!”
They knew that perhaps this person lacked no money, and talking only about tasting delicacies sounded a bit strange; aren’t there countless exquisite foods at the restaurants outside if one only has the money?
Why did they have to express gratitude?
Just for the sake of a delicacy?
They didn’t know that Eryao had robbed that Taoist Temple, and he possessed no small amount of this nation’s coins, gold and silver treasures.
Having these silver notes on him, if he doesn’t spend them, would he take them elsewhere to let them mold?
He had never felt the warmth of a family before, only the familial affection given by his master; he wanted to settle down here and experience the familial warmth of a wealthy household of this nation!
This was all merely a mission, just by the way!
If his master needed to go somewhere else, she would certainly follow without any hesitation!
Eryao felt that many items in this Eternal Star possessed only faint Spiritual Energy.
Where was it like in the Cultivation World?
Moreover, only with the dense Spiritual Energy from the Primordial Treasure Lingtian Space and with his master could he have a chance for Ascension!
“No need for formalities, just arrange a courtyard for me to live in, say no more!”
And so, Eryao settled down in the Zheng Family residence.
In this city, many people were gossiping that Miss Zheng of the Zheng Family just took one Immortal Pill from an Immortal and got better!
Who would believe that?
But what does it matter if they don’t believe?
They simply can’t enter the Zheng Residence to meet that Immortal!
Even if Sir Zheng helplessly invited some acquaintances in, they couldn’t enter the courtyard where the Immortal was staying, as if there was some force preventing entry!
The visitors of the Zheng Residence already felt no coldness here; the air they breathed was just like the air outside!
Gradually, everyone became accustomed to it, and rumors even spread that Miss Zheng had become even more beautiful than before!
One after another, suitors came to propose marriage, but how could Sir Zheng and the Mistress easily agree to betrothal for Miss Zheng who had just recovered from illness?
Their reason was sound: the young lady had just recovered from illness and needed to recuperate for some time, planning to stay for a couple more years, thus the engagement could be delayed!
Some suggested that they could get engaged first—it was alright if the wedding took place a few years later!
With an Immortal living in the household, they felt there was no rush for such matters!
They also took into account the little wishes of their daughter, hoping that the Immortal would always stay here!
Miss Zheng met her benefactor, and upon seeing this noble benefactor, she was mesmerized by his charm, bashfully blushing, and every day she had the kitchen prepare ingredients for her to cook personally for the benefactor!
Eryao’s daily meals were all delivered personally!
He didn’t want to always see mortals!
However, Miss Zheng had excellent culinary skills and personally cooked for her.
She felt that saving a life and enjoying some delicious food wasn’t a big deal!
Eryao settled down here, aside from his daily meals which were flown in from afar, he spent the rest of his time observing around the country!
He was searching for the secrets of that Heretical Sect!
He would also invisibly fly to the Taoist Temple at any time to meet with the Taoist Nun, and along the way, rob her of some riches!
One day, the Taoist Nun was waiting outside as Eryao, who had just had his breakfast at Zheng Residence, arrived and saw the Taoist Nun waiting!
He waved his hand and lifted the restrictions: “What’s the matter?”
The expression of the Taoist Nun was one of suspicion as she glanced at the courtyard, but since this person was so powerful, could he be the Young Master?
She was still doubtful, and she had already secretly sent out her suspicions, waiting for a response from her superiors!
The Taoist Temple had been subject to theft all these days, and even with such a formidable person staying there, theft still occurred!
At first, they thought it was the work of petty thieves, or perhaps an inside job!
After investigation, they could not find any clues, and then it happened again and again.
The wages they earned for their labors, as well as the money yet to be sent out, and even some Taoists’ collections of money over the years, along with rewards from the Incense Visitors, kept disappearing time and time again!
They had started to suspect that a ghost was at work, but when they called upon spirit entities to investigate, they found no evidence of ghostly wrongdoing!
