Beneficial Union: Chasing A Rogue Wife

Chapter 34: Surprises

It did not take long for Xiao Jun to return, cleaned. He still could not believe that he's almost healed. He could not remember the last time he had felt so energized and refreshed.

He was always aware that he was poisoned. The beings who poisoned him made sure of it before he was left to the Shizi Empire to die.

He was not fully recovered yet, but he did not want to waste time. Showing his gratitude to the one who cured him should be his priority.

Throughout the years, he did his best to slow down the effect of the poison through acupuncture. More than ten years ago, he started losing his cultivation, then his speech.

He was just thankful that he did not lose his sense of smell before Gao Lan Mei was able to cure him. Though she said that he was not completely healed yet, he was positive that he would be soon.

His cultivation level had dropped greatly. There was a low chance that he would be able to get back his original eight-degree due to the low spiritual energy in the mortal domain.

The poison might not have been completely removed but he could already condense spiritual energy.

As a doctor by heart, cultivation was only a means to protect himself, but his expertise would always be herbs.

The medicinal liquid used to cure him was unknown to him.

Would Gao Lan Mei be interested in teaching him this? What other poison could be cured by the liquid medicine? He really wanted to ask, but refrained from doing so.

Xiao Jun was very curious. He had been waiting for her to finish what she was doing for a while now, but Gao Lan Mei seemed to be in her own world, arranging herb after herb on a table.

He did not mind, if the liquid medicine was made by Gao Lan Mei, he was willing to learn. Observing and paying attention to details should be normal to any doctor.

After a while, Gao Lan Mei placed a silver pill furnace near the herbs. The size was standard for very small quantity of pills.

Looking at this, 'Does the master want to refine a pill? But, I do not feel any spiritual energy from her. What is she planning?'

He should be used to surprises when Gao Lan Mei was involved.

From the time he had met her, this young miss had constantly made him feel different emotions.

After being surprised that she was able to deal with the Medical Pavilion to her curing him, it seemed that there would be more surprises in the future.

Sadly, his poor old heart could not bear too many shocking things in a day.

Some would think he was stupid to keep getting surprised of what Gao Lan Mei was showing. That was because of the things that she could do should not be seen in a young miss who didn't have any spiritual energy.

"I do not care where you came from or who you were before, there is only one thing that I will not tolerate," Gao Lan Mein suddenly said, catching Xiao Jun's attention. Continuing, "that is, betrayal."

Though she spoke in her normal indifferent tone, Xiao Jun was aware of how serious Gao Lan Mei was.

"I, Xiao Jun, swear that if I have any desire to betray you, Master Gao, I will be struck by lightning and my corpse will be eaten by wolves!" his voice was still hoarse. The strong conviction emitting from his very being could not be missed.

Nodding her head, "Remember what you have said."

As domains governed by heaven, swearing could not be taken lightly. Everyone was serious when speaking of oaths. Even the strongest cultivators could not fight it.
