Start from the beginning
                                    

When he next opened his eyes, what he saw was the pretty patterns on the bed pillars. Zhuang Qing discovered that the Dragon Pearl within his body had increased in strength by quite a bit, and his old ailments had all vanished. His entire body was in an unparalleled state of relaxation.

"You're awake?"

Zhuang Qing turned around and saw Fu Li seated by the bed. His smiling eyes were exceedingly good-looking.

"How long did I sleep?" Zhuang Qing sat up on the bed. Strength seemed to be coursing throughout his entire body and his cultivation had also advanced significantly.

"Not long, just one night," Fu Li took out a jade bottle. "Ah, open your mouth."

Was he coaxing a child? Zhuang Qing stared at Fu Li for two seconds before opening his mouth in resignation.

The medicinal pill dissolved immediately upon entering his mouth, and Zhuang Qing felt a burst of spiritual qi through all his limbs and meridians. Every pore felt exceedingly relaxed. "What was that?"

"Good stuff I got from Sister Zhu Yue," Fu Li took out a set of clothes from his Qiankun pouch for Zhuang Qing. "In the entire Reflecting Mist Mountain, Sister Zhu Yue is the best at concocting medicine. Any type of medicine taken from her is definitely good stuff."

"You know how to concoct medicine too?" Zhuang Qing tapped the clothes in Fu Li's hands and they automatically appeared on his body.

"I was fond of lazing around at that time and I didn't have the patience to learn. I couldn't sit still in front of the pill-refining furnace, so I have little personal experience with concocting pills, although I know the steps for pill-concoction," Fu Li glanced at Zhuang Qing's clothes. He was very satisfied with his vision. As expected, Zhuang little dragon looked good in this set.

Recalling Zhu Yue's dubious identity as well as her formidable powers, Zhuang Qing could practically envisage the leisurely days Fu Li had had from young. Anything he wanted would be delivered to his hands with just a word, and he would naturally have a huge group of yao coaxing him if he was even a teeny bit unhappy.

He was the yao world's little princess.

"An expert in theory, but an amateur in practice?" Zhuang Qing raised a brow.

"That's not right either. I was just a little bit more playful, that's all," Fu Li used his hands to show a small distance, making a supreme effort to preserve his dignity as a senior.

Zhuang Qing was about to reply when he heard the sound of footsteps outside. The smiling expression on his face vanished, and he glanced in the direction of the door.

"You're awake?" Zhu Yue pushed open the door and came in. Seeing the clothes Zhuang Qing was wearing, she smiled. "No wonder Little Li left the sea in a rush this morning, so it was to buy this set of clothes."

"Many thanks for saving me, Senior," Zhuang Qing stepped forward and bowed deeply to Zhu Yue with respect.

"No need to stand on ceremony," Zhu Yue evaded half the bow, extending a hand as if to support him. "Little Li was the child I watched grow up, and you were injured to this extent for the sake of saving him. If there is any thanks to be said, it should be coming from me."

"Senior has misunderstood," Zhuang Qing took a step back and bowed fully with his hands held in front. He still completed this bow. "It is my personal desire to share in trials and hardships with a colleague. This was done for my own sake, so there is no need for anyone to thank me. The fact that Senior rescued this junior and even healed this junior's old ailments is a favor that this junior owes to Senior."
