3241: Surprise

Surprise

Simultaneously with the disappearance of the mark, the tree-bark-like thing on her hand also vanished.1

When she saw the bark on the skin of her hand disappear she stretched out her left foot and kicked. Sure enough, she had also regained her strength and sense. Feng Jiu couldn't help but chuckle. "Old man, do you think I can't solve this problem? You underestimate me."

She stood up and started practising a set of Tai Chi moves in her room. She felt revitalised after working out her entire body, but when she looked at the dress on her body, she frowned. "I can't believe I can't get this dress off," she mumbled. 

She didn't use any other methods, instead asking people outside to prepare the bath water and then approaching the bath bucket to stimulate the body's innate flame.

It didn't take long for the flames on her body to start burning through her clothes, revealing her creamy white skin.

"Simple, straightforward, and rough." She smiled contentedly, stepped into the bath bucket, and took a long bath.

At the same time, Pill King in the Pill King Valley seemed to sense something. During his meditation, he opened his eyes, and surprise flashed across his wise eyes. "Did this little girl really break my talisman? Does she even understand this? What a surprise!"

Feng Jiu changed into her favourite red robe after taking a bath. Her attire was simple, but she exuded a remarkable vigour.

"Ghost Doctor."

When she heard Patriarch Qin's voice from the courtyard, she opened the door and stepped out. She was dressed in red and no longer needed to use the tree branch as a crutch. She also stopped wearing ragged and filthy clothes. The two people outside the courtyard were stunned and amazed at her appearance when she came out.

"Ghost, Ghost Doctor?"

Patriarch Qin looked at her with surprise. The face was still the same, but the ragged clothes and limping gait...seemed so different? 

When Eldest Young Master Qin saw the beautiful and cold woman in red, his eyes flashed, and his surprise could not be hidden.

He knew her face was extremely beautiful, but he hadn't expected her demeanour to change so dramatically just by changing her dress and removing her crutch.

"Hmm?"

Feng Jiu raised an eyebrow and raised her voice slightly. Her drawn-out, somewhat languid voice made the Eldest Young Master Qin's heart throb. He lowered his gaze and dared not look any further.

Patriarch Qin regained his composure and asked, "Ghost Doctor, how much longer must my second son soak? Since Ghost Doctor came over in the morning up until now, he has been soaking in that medicated bath. Can his body withstand it?"

"I'll come with you and take a look," Feng Jiu said, looking up at the colour of the sky. With that, she went out.

Patriarch Qin and Eldest Young Master Qin followed behind her. Seeing Ghost Doctor, who walked with light steps in front and seemed to be in good spirits, the father and son exchanged glances but kept their doubts to the back of their minds.

When Feng Jiu arrived at Second Young Master Qin's courtyard, she noticed that Madam Qin and Miss Qin were also present. Unsurprisingly, they were astonished by her appearance.

She had grown accustomed to their expressions and walked to the side room without saying anything. Madam Qin came to her senses at this point and stopped Feng Jiu.
