Ruoshan returned back to the inn and silently stood beside the sleeping girl on the bed.
By now he knew that she's not used to sleep with the hard pillows. He had seen those soft and comfy pillows in the mansion.
Seeing her being restless as her neck was hurting, Ruoshan moved towards the bed and lied down next to her.
He lifted her head slightly and snaked his left arm under her neck.
She was still under the sleeping charm, so she didn't wake up from the movements and after a long struggle, she finally found a comfortable position and settled down.
Ruoshan looked at the girl who was sleeping without any care on his chest. A smile appeared on his face as he folded his arms around her.
He knew too well that he would not get a chance like this again anytime soon.
"Although the five of us are not on friendly terms and I would rather be still trapped in the Devils Circle then be with that Zhang Yong but don't worry, if you want I will tolerate even those three demons." Ruoshan spoke softly to the sleeping girl in his arms.
"From tomorrow on, I'm going to personally train you. It can be a little hard for you but don't hate me, I'm doing it for you." He lightly kissed her head and closed his eyes.
He knew that in the coming days she's going to seriously hate him.
-----
Just half an hour before the arrival of morning, Ruoshan woke up. He quietly retracted his arms from around Li Ming and tucked her safely back inside the blanket.
He stood up and looked at the little fur ball who was snoring loudly. Ruoshan picked up the little pup, who woke up from his mouth watering dreams and looked with fearful eyes at the immortal who was holding him.
"If she find out that you were busy snoring and drooling, rather than doing your duty, what do you think will happen to you?" Ruoshan asked with a small chuckle.
Snowy's already fearful eyes grew even more wide after he realized his Master's words from last night. He could already see his hundred pieces being gifted as souvenir!!
Ruoshan chuckled as he saw the fear in the eyes of the little snow ball. "Don't worry! She's still not aware and I'm also not telling her. But remember it's only the first and last time I'm helping you. Got that?"
Snowy nodded his head hurriedly. If he could then he had already hugged and licked the God in front of his eyes. But he had a feeling that if he did that then he didn't have to wait for Li Ming, to become a souvenir for the cats.
Ruoshan put him down on the bed beside Li Ming and rubbed his head lightly before walking out of the room.
Li Ming woke up after 20 minutes or something. She noticed Snowy who was sitting on her chest looking at her with his puppy eyes.
Li Ming picked up the little fur ball and kissed him on his nose.
"Did you stay awake the entire night?"
Snowy silently nodded his head in answer.
Li Ming felt bad for her poor familiar. She never thought that he would stay awake all night. Now she's feeling horrible.
She took out a bag of dog biscuits and poured them in a big bowl. She had mixed these biscuits with special potions which were good for his health.
Snowy's mouth started watering the moment he saw the biscuits and he didn't waste a single second as he started devouring as soon as Li Ming allowed him.
Li Ming shook her head as she flicked his head. "You behave like I starve you!"
But Snowy was too busy to pay attention to his Master's unimportant words.
Just as Snowy finished his food, Ruoshan entered the room. He nodded lightly to Li Ming and the three of them entered the mansion.
Half an hour later, they all appeared back in the room after getting ready for the day.
Li Ming was wearing yellow color dress with a matching veil. She had left her long hair down with only a single hairpin in her hair. But she still gave a strong and noble aura.
They all went down the stairs and had their breakfast with Old Mo and Huang Family.
Li Ming told Elder Fu and Madam that she would be leaving for the Dongji village for a few days.
She had already filled the storage of the inn the previous day and the business was running smoothly. She was sure that Elder Fu and his family would look after the inn all too well.
After breakfast Li Ming send both Ruoshan and Snowy inside the mansion and teleported to the orphanage with Old Mo.
The old madam was anxious for the entire night as she had no idea whether her husband found the Young Miss or not.
When she saw them appearing in the front garden, she finally relaxed.
Li Ming brought Ruoshan out of the mansion the moment she appeared at the orphanage. In no condition was she going to let him stay inside the mansion all alone.
If it was not for her low level of powers, she would not have even let him inside the mansion without her.
Although she could now teleport a long distance twice a day with her current cultivation level but she was still not sure whether she would be able to teleport with two people.
Also she needed her powers for the coming night.
"Young Miss, you finally remember to return!" The complain was clear in Old Madam's voice.
Li Ming smiled softly and patted old madam's hand as she said, "Don't worry. I'll take care of tonight's matter."
The Old Madam lightly nodded her head. In these past months she had learned to respect and trust her Young Miss.
The children were excited to see her after nearly a month. Li Ming found that all of them were getting better in their fields of work.
Just like usual days, she practiced with them in the back yard. After two hours of morning practice, they all took their classes with Old Mo.
Li Ming spend the day teaching them new things but she soon realized that she needed people who could teach these children.
She was not available everytime and if she wanted them to learn properly then she had to find a way.
After their lunch, Li Ming went into the mansion. She wanted to make some preparations for the coming night but was stopped by Ruoshan before she could enter the house.
"What?" Li Ming asked, a little bit irritated.
"Let's duel." Ruoshan said excitedly.
"Huh??" Li was confused but then she saw him taking out a large sword. Her eyes widened as she realized that this man was not joking.
"Are you insane? Find someone else!" Li Ming said hurriedly and started walking away. But before she could take more than a single step, she heard the sharp sound of the sword cutting through the air.
On her instincts, she bended backward a little and saw the sparkling sharp edge of the sword which was at the exact place where her neck was.
She stepped back and stared at the man who was smirking at her.
"Are you tired of living?" Li Ming shouted loudly.
If she had not followed her instincts then maybe she would be dead by now!
Spells, charms, potions or even a dagger, she could handle these things but weapons like swords - nope!
"You are too slow. Come, I'll teach you." Ruoshan said as he tried to drag her somewhere with him.
Li Ming snatched her hand out of his hold.
Ruoshan was confused as he looked at the girl who was actually fuming in anger.
"Take it as a warning. Next time you do something like this and I'll make you realize how much a person can hate living!" Li Ming said in a very cold voice and after making her point clear, she left.
Ruoshan rubbed his forehead. It was even harder than what he had predicted.
