Chapter 5: Rebirth Pill
In the middle of the night, Gao Manor...
Gao Lan Mei was still awake. Her personal servant, Gao Chu, is insistent on sleeping in the same room so that she could help her immediately if needed, but Gao Lan Mei refused. She was not used to anyone waiting on her or serving her.
She was already feeling much better compared to when she had just woken up. Though, speaking was still challenging.
Since she had woken up, she had yet to see her "father", Minister Gao. From memory, she remembered that even a small knee wound would make her father panic. She asked Madam Gao about it earlier when she checked on her. But she was only told that the minister was busy, which seemed to be a lie.
If the Madam didn't want to tell her, she would not insist further. It didn't matter as Gao Lan Mei had her own means of knowing what was going on.
A small brown sparrow flew in from the open window and landed on the floor of her room. Then, it emitted a blue light as it slowly changed into the shape of a very young girl. She appeared to be around five or six years old.
The child had red hair and red eyes. Her face was very adorable with a pinkish glow on her cheeks which made one want to pinch them. But seeing the glint of slyness in her eyes that did not match her assumed age would make anyone think twice about doing so. All in all, she looked like a very pretty demonic child.
"Miss, I'm back!" Feng Ji declared happily showing her spoils. Her miss liked treasures a lot, just like the original old master who the others shared stories about.
Feng Ji was also able to get the Rebirth pill that would make her Miss heal quickly. Aside from that, the pill would also reshape the bones in preparation for cultivation, though it couldn't remove the scars from her face.
Right now, the miss' bones were broken. It would be painful to use the rebirth pill but it's best to endure it now than have it healed first, then reshaped after.
That damned second prince would not expect that one of his greatest treasures would be used by Gao Lan Mei who he despised and called a waste.
Gao Lan Mei noticed that Feng Ji was in a good mood. "You played good," Gao Lan Mei praised her. There was no need to ask as she can feel Feng Ji's happiness just by tapping on their connection.
"Hehe, yes miss. I will be playing some more so that the ugly second prince will not pay attention to you while you are still healing. Here is the rebirth pill. I will keep the rest in the storage ring until you can open it." The young girl said.
Feng Ji really did enjoy making the second prince's life miserable. It was fun to watch him panic and struggle with what to do next.
"Hmmm…" Gao Lan Mei nodded. Feng Ji placed the Rebirth pill inside her mouth. She had already anticipated the pain from reforming and reconnecting her bones. Feng Ji shared some spiritual energy to help Gao Lan Mei endure the pain. She was not able to do so before as she was also too weak.
After visiting the second prince's manor, she had consumed medicinal plants that helped her regain some of her strength. In this mortal realm's standard, she is now a sixth-degree cultivator.
Gao Lan Mei could hear her bones popping and feel them moving to be realigned. She gritted her teeth and tried not to scream from the pain. She was sweating too much so, Feng Ji prepared clean clothes for Gao Lan Mei to wear later.
As much as possible, she didn't want her miss to be in pain. But it was unavoidable so all Feng Ji could do is try to ease the pain.
Out of all the subordinates that the miss had from her previous life, Feng Ji was the most well-informed of how stubborn Gao Lan Mei is. This master of her's may be living a new identity, but her personality was still the same. It's either you support her or you leave.
