Li Ming decided to reorganize the village business system and training the village children in various fields. But this sure would take a proper planning, a lot of time and of course a lot of her powers.
Since the children had returned to the village after such a long time, Li Ming decided to let them enjoy a little freedom before they would be introduced with the most dangerous thing known by the children. Yes!! It's nothing other than studies.
She planned to have a tour through the Thundering Peaks Mountain Ranges.
She just wanted to find some normal spiritual herbs so that she could start remaking some of the basic potions.
Since the magical mansion had no spiritual energy inside it, it's impossible to grow spiritual herbs there. That's why she had to go into mountains to find the herbs.
Although she could purchase herbs from the Herb Hall but she didn't want to spend her money when she could get the herbs in free.
After the case of Lian Hu and Han Zhe was taken care of, the Emperor assigned the Fourth Prince as the Incharge of the Iron mines.
Li Ming spent two days at the Black Jade Inn, taking care of it's business. As usual she went to the Herb Hall to learn about medicinal herbs and spend the rest of her day playing Chess and Stratego with Wei Rong and the group.
In the evening everyone again enjoyed a very hearty dinner prepared by Li Ming.
The inn's business was growing day by day. People were getting attracted towards the amazing snacks and drinks that was served by the inn. Also Stratego was becoming famous among the rich lords from the official/noble families.
*********************
Li Ming was standing at the outskirts of the Thundering Peaks. She made sure that she was alone and then changed into a pair of jeans, hoodie and sports shoes. She pulled her long hair into a high ponytail and put on a face mask.
It was more comfortable to walk through a forest in a pair of jeans and sports shoes than in a gown.
She took Snowy out of the mansion and dumped him on the ground.
"You are becoming fat by just sitting around and doing nothing. That's why you are going to walk throughout this entire journey."
Snowy looked at the most evil person that he had encountered in his life. He sometimes wanted to either jump off a cliff or push his master from one.
Both of them started their journey through the Thundering Peaks. For the next few days, Li Ming spent her days in collecting spiritual herbs and at night she either cultivate or made potions.
All this time in the mountains, Li Ming barely saw any high level spirit beast. She didn't kill all the spirit beasts but only those who tried to attack her or Snowy. That mean she had only collected five or six spiritual cores in the past week. If it had been any other mountain ranges of the Han Empire, Li Ming would have been devoured by the spiritual beasts by now.
Li Ming was reading a potion book while sitting on the porch, when she heard a loud noise of something falling from the living room.
She looked at the Snowy who was also looking shocked by the noise. It struck both of them at the same time as they bolted inside with a fast speed.
When Li Ming entered the house she already knew that the silver hair guy had probably woken up.
Nearly all the healing potions that she had made in the past week was devoured by that person.
Since he had awoken, it's time for her to collect her debts.
Just as she thought, when she entered into the living room, she found the silver boy standing there looking at something on the floor.
Li Ming's eyes followed his gaze to the floor and she nearly got another heart attack because of this person.
Lying there on the floor was the most expensive painting that Li Ming had in her possession. It was worth millions of dollars.
The man turned around as he heard the soft footsteps and came face to face with the person he was trying to find since he had awakened.
The girl was barely five feet tall and probably in her mid teens. Long lashes, sparkling dark eyes and fair jade like skin. She had pulled her hair into a loose bun and strands of hair were falling down her neck.
But then his eyes trailed down her body and his breath got caught in his throat.
She was completely exposed to him. The shoulders, her hands, that small waist and those fair legs, everything was bare and exposed for him.
He had seen a fair amount of beauties in even less clothing in his life but he was never caught off guard in such a way.
Li Ming saw that the man was looking at her in a weird way. She looked down at herself and realized that she was wearing an off shoulder crop top and shorts.
"Damn!!"
She hurriedly took out a cloak and pulled it around herself. She looked at the man who was still staring at her.
"If you had seen enough then will you care to introduce yourself and what are you doing here in my house?" Li Ming asked the man with an angry tone.
"I don't tell my name to strangers and it was you who brought me in your house." The man replied with a soft tone.
If she was not confused by his reply of her second question, she sure would have taken her time to enjoy and praise his beautiful voice.
She was still trying to remember when she invited this walking time bomb in her mansion, when the man started walking out of the room.
Li Ming teleported right in front of him before he could left the room and blocked the door with her outstretched hands.
"Where do you think you are going? You have a lot to answer and even double to compensate!" Li Ming said in a strict voice but saw that the man was not looking at her face but.....
That's when she realized that the cloak had become undone when she outstretched her arms and her body was again at full display.
