After the warm welcome and bear hugging our FL is finally free. Rou Hua Heng feels that her body is now on the verge of being exhausted. She smiled bitterly and whine like a child
"Aiyo this child just got back and look! Look! Ah! This child is now battery from all of your beating (hugging) ah! Oh! Oh! Brother is waking up! Brother Shu!" Hua Heng rush up to her half-asleep brother
Rou Hua Shufen woke up in a daze when he heard a sweet voice coming from his side. He finally regains his mind and looks at his side.
There's a beautiful fairy sitting on his side of the bed, the fairy's face was painted with worry. He was mesmerized for a second and then his mind clicks, it is his beloved sister!
"H-heng- Heng?" He croaked
He is surprised that her sister is here, his sister who substitutes herself for him, her sister who is so delicate like a flower with a brave character, his only beloved sibling. Rou shufen's eyes redden as he stared at his sister's face.
Hua Heng seems to notice her brother's eyes and quickly puts her soft small snow-white hands on her brother's thinned paled face with worry.
"Brother ah! D-don't shed tears! I'm home alive! I told you before this little sister of yours will come home safe, lah. Shed tears only if someone's died but I came back alive. So don't cry this sister's heart is ever fragile when a brother is crying la" she continues to rattle while wiping Rou Shufen's tears
Rou Cheng and Mrs. Rou, who are in her rear, are crying as they see their nieces, nephews, and children care for one other. Their hearts sank as they saw Ruo shu fen weep out in sadness and despair as he glanced at his sister cooing at him. They are aware that their son and nieces, nephews do not want their sister to take his place and be tormented since her martial arts are lacking, but what can they do? Ruo Hua Heng is a delicate and vulnerable girl at heart, despite her brave and brash demeanor; she was raised to be pampered, not to fight.
But how do they know that the pampered and bold girl has passed away and that the present Rou Hua Heng is the CEO of the most powerful assassination firm in the 25th century?
"H-heng? I'm sorry...I'm sorry..I'm- "
"Sorry! Sorry, what? What and who is begging for sorry ah! Brother don't put stress on yourself or else it affects your tiger body. Do you know how many men shed tears and cry like a pig ready to be slaughtered in the camp?! They look like children whose candy is taken" Again Hua Heng imitates the past Hua heng's childish attitude
O-o??¿ (family) "Men?"
Suddenly the rattling sister snaps back from her acting yet slightly real self.
Whoops! My fantasies run wild again hehe
Rou Hua Shufen suddenly calms down as he listens to his cheerful sister's lying mouth. He slightly smiled and his reddened eyes had small glittering stars.
"Sister, is the army hard for you? If so, you can return back here and become who you really are instead of pretending ah I don't you to spend your youth battling with those foxes and snakes on the imperial armies while waiting for my recovery -" he hoarsely said and coughed
Blood
His slow-reacting poison is acting again making everyone panic.
Rou Hua Heng's face turns dark
"Servant! Servants! Quick! Go and get the golden box in the stock room hurry!" Mrs. Rou shouted as fled beside her daughter
"Call the manor's physician! Quick!!" A thunder order of the former General Ruo shouts
"Ah! My son! Shuer! " Mrs. Rou fled beside Hua Heng and clasp the bony hand of her son
Her relatives and parents are busily panicking when Hua Heng separated herself quietly and went to her space
When she got in she quickly called her little bun with a slightly panicking voice.
*"Meimei!"*
"Meimei! Come quickly!" She calls out as she got to bear her precious herbs
The little bun who is sleeping sweetly like a baby is busy drooling and smiling like a psycho. Meimei was dreaming that in front of her there are mountains of delicious herbs and meat waiting for her to eat when suddenly before she can touch the delicious barbecue ribs she was sent back to reality when a loud shrieking voice woke her up.
"Who?! Who is this hateful person to disturb my delicious dream ah! I'm gonna squash that person ah! Hmph!" She was so mad with red color all over her face
"Ohhh so you want to squash me ah?!" A certain dark voice chimed behind her back
"Kyaahhh!!"She squeaks and turns around and found her master's face glaring at her, Meimei gulps
Uh...ohhh...
"Hehehe master I'm not talking about you ah hehehe I'm just talking myself ah hehehe!" She excused herself while sweating a little bit
Hua Heng has no time to bicker with her and directly ask
"Are there any herbs that can temporarily subdue a poison in the garden?"
Confused the little bun answered her," Hmm... yeah... there is why?"
"Quick tell me I need it now! Pronto!"
Pronto?
Meimei quickly flies towards the garden and uprooted a herb
It's a flowering herb, Pierro flower.
Quickly she snatch it after Meimei explains how to use it and went out without saying leaving the stunned bun inside
"T-that....that.....that hateful master! She didn't even thank me for picking up that herb and disturbing my dream! Hmph! Hmph! So hateful ah! Hateful to death ah!" the little bun angrily said while she kicks the small stones on her feet sending them to the celestial lake and creating small splashes of crystal waters
Hua Heng rushes to the medical room near the east pavilion, clutching a herb. She enters, locks the door, and examines the plants on her palm.
Well...let's try
She puts the herb on a long white paper and positioned her right hand on top of the herb.
"I can do this!" She cheers herself and closed her eyes
Hua Heng channeled some of her white energy into her right palm, and a small white ball of light comes out from her Palm and falls quietly into the plant. The small ball of light sips inside the herb and then the green and violet color of the herb become pale and instantly the water inside of the herb dries out. The pierro flower becomes a crispy dried herb that if someone would touch it, the herb will crumble and turns to dust. Hua Heng quickly and skilfully fold the white paper covering the dried herb.
Creeekkk
Creeekkk
Creeekkk
(Don't mind the sound^^)
After grinding the dried herb into dust, she folded it into a small box. She blew a sigh of relief and swats her sweat on her forehead. Holding the medicine she grinds she quickly gets out of the medicine room and jumps high into the roof jumping from a tree and fences.
As she entered only her parents and the physician are in the room, her relatives must have left probably because her parents shooed them away nagging them of being overdramatic. She walks in and her teary mother turns to her.
"You! Brat! Where did you go ah!" Mrs. Rou berated
Ruo Hua Heng just scratch her head and smiled mischievously
" Mother, don't scold me la I just run out to get this "she shows the small box with crushed herbs from her Palm
"What's that?"
"Luhh mother can look closely this is a medicine "
Both her parents and the physician were stunned, they look at her suspiciously
"Oh? Where did you get it? Do you know what medicine should be used by your brother?" Mrs. Rou ask
"I pick it up" Hua Heng explained in a dull tone
The three people were speechless again and after a second their hands become itchy
"Oh? Pick it up? And why are you giving it to us?" Ruo Cheng ask
(-_-) --- Ruo Hua Heng's face
" Of course, this is for the brother; I know all of you are doubtful, but I swear this medicine is more useful than that liquid medicine you're carrying, mother."
Now they know why their hands are itchy, their hands want to swat the brat's head
"A medicine? Oh? Then miss Heng can I see it?" The physician asks
"Sure!" She gives the small folded paper to him
The physician open the paper and saw crushed violet herbs and smelled it. The physician's eyes bulged out and his jaws seem to lose their strength as it drops. He quickly looks up at the miss with a ridiculous and surprised expression.
This miss is so lucky!
He can't believe that one of the rare medicines that are hard to find suddenly pops up in the hands of a young woman. His beady eyes look again at Hua Heng with admiration and excitement.
"Miss Rou where did you pick this precious medicine ah? What medicine hall is selling such rare medicine?" He asks, the physician's eyes are twinkling like stars. The physician wants to have a transaction.
"Precious ?" the trio said
"Yes, this medicine is made of a Pierro flower one of the rare herbs in the continent, this medicine can temporarily subdue any kind of poison for two months at most! This precious herb is really a miracle for us! Mis Rou is so lucky to have encountered such an exceptional plant and if this is sold in the auction or any medicine hall. People will do anything and one sachet of this powder can cost a hundred gold coins " The physician explained excitedly
Mrs. Rou, the old General, and Hua Heng were stunned at the physician's revelations.
Thank heavens! Our son can temporarily live comfortably by using this!
The couple looked at their daughter with a mysterious look and raised their eyebrow. They are demanding an answer. Hua Heng just put on her best smile and laugh turning her head in the other direction.
In Hua Heng's mind
*I didn't know that herb is rare in this world. Hehehehehe then earning gold and silver money will be a piece of cake for this miss Hohohoho!^^*
The physician put the medicine into the warm water and said to the slightly dazed Rou Shufen to drink it.
After drinking the medicine, Rou Hua shufen's paled face flushed a slow pink color after a few minutes and he instantly falls asleep. Everyone was happy because they saw that after he drinks the precious medicine, there is some improvement on his face and aura.
"Look! old fox, our son's face improves a lot better" Mrs. Rou again tears up
(Hehehe I'll just explain something about Hua Heng's parents. Her parents are only 40 and 42 years old^^ old General is my term for expressing Ruo Cheng and old Fox is some kind of endearment of his wife that's all^^)
The old General holds his dear wife's hand and his slightly wrinkled eyes soften.
"My wife doesn't cry anymore soon we will be able to find the cure for his poison. The people I've sent should be able to find a clue." he confidently said and turns his head to his daughter who is sitting silently beside her sleeping sibling
Rou Cheng's hand begins to itch again and flicks his daughter's forehead earning a cry from her daughter's mouth
"Ow! Yah! Father, Why did you flick my forehead ah huhuhu!" A tiny red dot emerges on her snowhite Hua Heng's forehead
Ruo Cheng snorts at his daughter, he observes that this daughter of his changed a lot, her weak and fiery aura changed into an aura of an experienced warrior but he doubts that it has more than the experienced aura that his daughter gives off. His daughter's attitude is still the same and acts like a childish brat like in the past but he can sense his daughter, Rou Hua Heng, has a lot more secrets he didn't know.
His mind swirled a question
What changed her so drastically?
Never mind as long as she is happy and as his father, I will be happy with whatever she likes and wants.
Change or not she is still my daughter
Done!^^
