After a few hours Ling Wei fell asleep in bed next to Ling Mei, shortly thereafter Doctor Bai reappeared with his assistant bringing a bowl of bitter medicine. The scent of herbs permeated the room again, making Ling Mei frown in disgust, but it did not dodge what lay ahead.
"Mei'er is time for the second dose of your medicine, this medicine will not only help heal the fleshy wounds of your body but will also nourish your cultivation veins," said Doctor Bai with a kind smile on his face before sighing and taking the medicine from the attendant's hands.
"You can go out. Speak to my disciple Yang Gan to begin preparing Young Master Ling Wei's medicine, "said Doctor Bai in a firm tone, very different from the tone used to speak with Ling Mei.
The attendant bowed slightly to Doctor Bai and Ling Mei before leaving in a hurry, closing the door, leaving only Ling Mei's two personal servants in front of the door.
"Mei'er, have you ever thought about what I said days ago? About starting cultivation on the martial path, it's not too late yet, "said Dr. Bai, placing the medicine on a table next to the bed.
Ling Mei was stunned for a few seconds before some memory fragments popped into her mind. A few days ago, when the FL of this world started causing problems for Ling Mei, doctor Bai appears one night after another day being humiliated by FL.
The former Ling Mei was a young lady who was raised like a flower in a place full of love and pampering when she was so humiliated in her life? Of course, the words spoken by FL on the street would make the 15-year-old sad and angry, but since the previous Ling Mei was of a very soft personality, her anger soon turned to tears and she cried all night, later she getting a small fever, which threw the Ling family home in confusion for a brief moment.
Doctor Bai, as at that time, came to bring medicine to Ling Mei and tried to persuade the 15-year-old to start practicing on the martial path, but could a delicate young flower-like young Miss Ling choose a path of violence? That was a huge no! However, not wanting to disappoint Doctor Bai, former Ling Mei said she would think about it.
"Grandpa Bai, I already thought about that. I would like to start training as soon as I get better. At least I can defend myself if the second prince physically tries something against me "said Ling Mei, still using her weak and pitiful state to further soil this slag ML.
"He won't dare!" Said Doctor Bai angrily. He was already fed up with this imperial family, how can the current emperor and this second prince be descendants of Old Zhao ?!
"Don't be angry, Grandpa Bai," Ling Mei said in a concerned tone, struggling to reach the doctor's hand.
"Don't make so much effort! Don't be agitated, this old doctor won't do anything foolish, "said Doctor Bai with a soothing smile holding the young teen's soft hand. His heart was full of remorse at the state of Miss Ling, he did not want to further agitate the situation of the young girl.
"DING! 100 XP earned by fooling Doctor Bai! DING! 20 black coins have been added to the inventory treasury for messing up the name of the hero of this empire! "The system's voice rang out in Ling Mei's mind, giving a pleasant surprise. She didn't know she could earn EXP points and coins just by acting a little!
"Master, don't forget you're a villain, as long as you do things related to your villain's way, you'll always earn EXP and black coins! Even without accomplishing a specific mission. Missions are more about earning unique items and boosting your path. "Ling Shu's boyish voice rang in her mind. Her assistant was also very happy, the more EXP the faster he will evolve the system and the better it will be to help his young mistress!
"How much do you need to evolve the system and when can I enter the system store?" Asked Ling Mei anxiously, after all, she's still very weak, any random female servant can kill Ling Mei with one blow!
"Your EXP is now at 1100. That EXP can be allocated to increase a host's ability, can be used to increase your level of evil in your actions, can also be used to increase the system. When the system reaches a new level new options on how to use EXP will be presented to the Host, "said Ling Shu, as a lot of information entered Ling Mei's mind.
"The system is at level 1, to level up it takes at least 500 XP. The system store can only be opened at level 3. From level 2 to level 3 at least 1200 XP "Ling Shu's voice sounded sad, he was still too weak to help his young mistress!
"Then put the 500 XP to increase the system level. How much does it take to raise Escape's ability to level 2? "Asked Ling Mei, she would prioritize skills that could save her life.
"Just a moment, Host, let me evolve the system to level 2 maybe we'll have a new surprise," said Ling Shu excitedly, the XP points had an appearance of sparkling pearls floating in the void, now they were around the little Ling Shu's child body.
"Mei'er, I'm so glad you're going to train to get strong," said Doctor Bai after a moment, when he noticed that Ling Mei had calmed down.
"Now let's take the medicine because it should be drunk hot," said Doctor Bai taking the bowl of the medicine. Ling Mei looked at the bowl with dismay, but went ahead and picked up the bowl by quickly turning the contents in her mouth.
"That's why I wish the system store was up and running! Maybe there were pills or elixirs that would be less bitter than this weed! "Thought Ling Mei, frowning and biting at her bitterness.
"Analyzing the substance that entered the Host's body… DING! DING! Found the juice of the legendary heavenly fruit vase! DING! DING! This legendary fruit is strengthening the host's Qi veins! DING! DING! The host has gained expert elixir skills! DING! DING! The host has gained the ability to identify herbs! DING! DING! Found Honey from the legendary Silver Bee! This is honey is helping to strengthen the Host's internal organs! DING! DING! The host has raised the level of elixir expert skill to level 2! DING! DING! Rising from skill the host has won the small copper cauldron item! DING! DING! 100 leaf clover juice has been identified! This is a plant that can change the destiny of heaven! DING! DING! The host has gained the Lucky Sky Defying skill! DING! DING! The host has raised the level of elixir expert skill to level 3! DING! DING! The host has earned the wooden spoon of life that assists in creating elixir! DING! DING! The host has increased the level of herbal identification to level 2! DING! DING! The host has won a small copper magnifying glass, which assists in the identification of rank 2 herbs! "The system's voice sounded quite loud in Ling Mei's mind.
Ling Mei felt her face burn as if slapped, it felt like karma came and gave him a new life lesson! The young girl stared in astonishment at Doctor Bai, who smiled a little playfully.
"Was the medicine bad?" Asked doctor Bai, smiling. He was not one of 10 continent's legendary doctors in vain!
"It was the best medicine I ever took!" Said Ling Mei with teary eyes. She really wanted to get out of bed and hug the old doctor, this must actually be her real father! Not he is her real mother!
However, tiredness struck her body, she was feeling weaker and weaker and in the end, she could only watch doctor Bai adjusting the covers on her and Ling Wei, the doctor's soft old hands caressed her head as if to comfort a child.
"You're going to sleep for two whole days, after that a new path will open for you, little girl," said Doctor Bai gently as he stroked Ling Mei's soft hair.
"Ling… Wei…" her voice was rather weak, but she had to make sure her little brother was going to stay by her side, otherwise, Jin Liu could make this pitiful child's disease even worse.
"Don't worry, I'll provide a bed so little Wei'er can stay with you during this time. However, the process will be quite dirty so when you wake up don't be alarmed by the state of your body. Now close your eyes and sleep! "Said Doctor Bai a little more severely, but to Ling Mei, it sounded like a voice full of brotherly affection and parental rebuke.
"DING! DING! The system has finished upgrading, taking the host to the new system area! "As soon as Ling Mei closed her eyes, her soul went into the beautiful little forest, but a strange light appeared out of nowhere and a dimensional door appeared before her eyes clear from her.
Little Ling Shu's hand grasped hers and led her into that dimensional door.
Hello! Oh, one more chapter!
Wow! Even I am surprised by this!
Hope you like it.
Writing a story with a working system is very difficult!
To readers of my other stories, I can only promise anything after the two weeks of publication in the novel The Way of the Sword.
After these two weeks, then the other stories will be reviewed and eventually either updated or simply deleted for future revisions.
Thanks for the support!
