Chapter 53: Making Arrangements For The Worst 2

In the Spiritual Beast Garden, Li Yaoqing prepared her elixirs as usual. She stroked the huge beast-blood fruit tree and looked at the herbs she cultivated and grew day by day in the Spiritual Medicine Garden.

Footsteps sounded behind her. Fifteen boys and girls approached.

"If I don't come back, you will burn the beast-blood fruit tree and all the herbs in the Spiritual Medicine Garden and go into hiding. But remember, the two little ones of the Li family must be gone first. When the young master grows up, they will be your masters."

"Yes, master!"

Li Yaoqing felt a bit more at ease seeing the children she had trained over the years nodding in agreement. She looked at the Spiritual Medicine Garden with reluctance.

Almost all her life had been dedicated to these herbs and brewing elixirs, but some things are more precious than herbs—her cherished family.

Thinking back on these years, Li Yaoqing couldn't help but smile. Everyone in Green Valley Village said she was lonely and only liked plant herbs and brew elixirs. But those people had no idea why she was so interested in these medicinal materials and seeds.

It was because, After she was born, her family experienced a severe drought. The vegetables her family grew at home withered before her eyes. Her parents said that without food, her brother wouldn't grow tall and would be like a short winter melon. She was so scared she cried, imagining her siblings as short winter melons. How terrible was that?

When she grew up, she wanted to grow the most delicious vegetables so her family would never go hungry. Thankfully, her elder brother was taller than her, her younger brother strong as a bull, but her younger sister had been frail and sickly since childhood.

So she began brewing elixirs, hoping her sister would take the best elixirs and never get sick again.

"Yaowen still hasn't taken my medicine," Li Yaoqing shook her head. Looking at the entire Spiritual Medicine Garden, her expression gradually became cold. "If the family is gone, then no one else can have these herbs!"

...

"Hey, Rourou, your husband is here to see you, please open the door!"

It was getting late. Li Yaotie had been waiting in front of Bai Rourou's door for a long time.

He could feel that the woman, who was as beautiful and strong as a black panther, was leaning against the door as if she was afraid that he would break in. He smiled, "Rourou, I might die soon."

The door moved but did not open.

Li Yaotie's eyes were blurry. "The people in Tailin Town have been bullying our family. I definitely will kill them. Fourth sister is right. The Chen family has been wiped out. If we don't fight them, our family will be next to suffer."

"I'll be honest with you. I really want you to have a house full of children with me, so they can be as strong as I am and protect the family with me."

"Heh, I know you look down on me. I'm just a brute, shameless all day, except for forging."

"But do you know that when I was a child, I knew we had to have weapons? Because my father went into the dangerous forest to get meat for us. He had a kitchen knife that got dull in the forest, and it hadn't been replaced for two years. My sister had to cut grass, do you know how she did it? With a small knife."

"I grew strong thanks to their meat and vegetables. At that time, I thought, when I grow up, I must give them hard iron tools."

"When I grew up a bit more, I realized that weapons were not enough. We also needed Spiritual weapons, powerful Spiritual weapons, like those our ancestors used to fight. Otherwise, those outsider bastards would ruin the life of our Li family. I also trained my strength, so my sister wouldn't be bullied for not knowing martial arts."

"Heh, you see, I'm thoughtful..."

Just as he was about to say more, the door opened with a squeak. Li Yaotie turned his head and saw Bai Rourou's frowning face. She probably hadn't washed her hair or face, so she didn't look as good as yesterday. But Li Yaotie was still overjoyed, "Rourou, you... you didn't kick me after opening the door this time!"

"Have you said enough?"

Bai Rourou seemed to be making a huge life decision. After a long time, she kicked Li Yaotie, "Come in."

"Huh?"

Li Yaotie was stunned.

"Come in and have a baby!"

"Huh?"
