To soul cultivators, even the lowest-ranked ones had much stronger bodies than those of ordinary people so common illnesses simply could not affect them, and this was the reason why Bai Yunfei asked that question.

Right after his question, in front of him, Liu Meng felt silent all of a sudden. After a long time, she sighed softly and continued:

"I've been suffering from a weak body and illnesses since I was little, almost growing up in pots of medicine. No matter the treatment method, they couldn't be cured and even become more and more serious. My whole body was often in extreme pain all of a sudden, as if there were countless spikes moving back and forth nonstop in my body. It was extremely painful. The doctor who treated me said that I wouldn't live past the age of ten...

"Later, when I was eight, I ran into a traveling senior. She pitied me so not only did she awaken my soulforce, she also taught me a cultivation method, allowing me to become a soul cultivator. Then she continued her journey after giving me some prescriptions, saying that if I used them and didn't stop training, my body would be cured.

"As I became more powerful, my body got better as well. Now I'm rarely taken ill. As long as I can break through to the Soul Sprite stage, my body will be tempered by the natural elements and I'll be able to get rid of these illnesses forever...

"Today, I did take my medicine in the morning but somehow I was still taken ill earlier. At the time my entire body was in severe pain. Even my mind was extremely confused, and I also ran into those scoundrels. If you hadn't got into action to help me, perhaps I would have died from the pain. It can be said that I owe you for saving my life..."

Bai Yunfei slightly leaned his body to one side. At first he immersed himself in listening to her, but when she suddenly said the words 'owe you for saving my life', he almost choked on the tea and said while shaking his head again and again: "Er... You're taking it too seriously, Meng'er. What I did wasn't so important. I didn't save your life. You don't need to..."

Luckily he put on the brakes in time and swallowed back the words 'repay me with yourself'. Bai Yunfei looked down on himself for a while in his mind again.

"Need to what?" However, in front of him, Liu Meng asked out of curiosity.

"He he, nothing, nothing at all. Don't mention it again, Meng'er, otherwise I'll feel embarrassed..."

On one side, Xiao Ning could not bear seeing this anymore so she cut in: "Mister Yunfei, as a man, how can you seem even shyer than my young lady? Where has the heroic spirit shown when you dealt with those bad guys earlier gone?"

"Cough cough cough!!" Hearing those words from Xiao Ning, Bai Yunfei was even more embarrassed and coughed continuously.

......

When the three of them walked out of the tea house, it was already dusk. Before parting ways, Liu Meng seemed to suddenly remember something and asked Bai Yunfei laughingly: "Right, Yunfei, tomorrow let's take a stroll to Mt. Spring outside the city together! You just arrived in Jade Willow City so this is the right time to go for a stroll. I heard that the spring water on that mountain is clear and sweet and can even cure illnesses!"

"Oh? Tomorrow? Only both of us will go there?" By sheer coincidence, Bai Yunfei blurted these questions.

Right afterwards, he realized that they were inappropriate and almost felt like giving himself a couple of slaps: He had unexpectedly blurted such flirtatious words!

"Hey hey! Mister Yunfei! You've gone too far. I didn't expect that you'd dare to flirt with my young lady!" On one side, Xiao Ning said in pretended anger, "Besides, you have just left me out directly, haven't you? But I've got to look after my young lady all the time. I can't leave her side even for a moment!"
