Mesmerizing Ghost Doctor

Chapter 1615: I Will Accompany You

The two of them were silent. They had inquired along the way but they didn’t expect this matter to be true. Feng Jiu was lucky to survive an assassination carried out by four Celestial Strong Exponents and a dozen of so more men.

“It’s fine, this matter is over now. Let’s not talk about it anymore. It’s so rare that we can all be gathered here together, so let’s have a good drink.” She raised her glass and toasted the two of them respectfully: “This toast is for you, thank you for coming to warn me.”

“Cheers.” The two of them picked up their wine glasses and downed their wine in one go.

After Feng Jiu changed the topic of the conversation, the atmosphere around the table became more lively. Xuanyuan Mo Ze however, didn’t say much. He just sat next to Feng Jiu and watched her. When he saw that she had drank a little too much, he picked some food for her to eat and said a few words of advice to her.

When Feng Jiu looked at him, she smiled with deep affection and trust flowing through her eyes. Onlookers had an indescribable feeling when they saw this.

This was the first time Chen Dao and Luo Heng had seen the two of them together. Back in the Sect, though they had been friendly with Feng Jiu, they had never seen such a look in her eyes.

The relationship between the two of them was so natural, like they were an old couple who had known each other and been in love for many years. There was no need for much verbal expression between the two of them. A look and a smile, a small action replaced everything.

The kind of feeling where their heart understood everything without the need for words made them full of envy when they saw it. If they could meet such a loving soulmate, what else could they expect in life?

Chen Dao and Luo Heng stayed there with them. As they had a bit too much wine, they were brought to their rooms with Leng Shuang’s assistance to rest. They couldn’t tell the difference between south, east, north or west and slept till the next morning.

Early in the morning the next day, Shangguan Wanrong had been regulating her energy since yesterday and layers of black toxic poison had seeped out from the pores of her body. After she had instructed Leng Shuang to prepare hot water for her to take a bath, she put on a fresh set of clothes and walked out of her room.

Maybe it was seeing her daughter’s return, or maybe it was the removal of the toxins from her body, she felt refreshed. So, she went to the kitchen to prepare everyone’s breakfast.

Although there was a cook, when she thought of not having cooked a single meal for her daughter over the years, and she had to go all over the place for her instead, she felt guilty. She knew that her daughter loved good food and her culinary skills were not bad, therefore, she wanted to cook breakfast for everyone.

When Leng Shuang learned that she was going to cook, she came to her and said: “Madam, let me help you!”

“Sure, you can help me. It’s been a long time since I’ve cooked, my skills might be a bit rusty.” Shangguan Wanrong said as she entered the kitchen with Leng Shuang. When she saw that there wasn’t much meat and vegetables in the kitchen, she said to Leng Shuang: “It’s still early, and Little Jiu and the others won’t wake up so early, come with me to buy some groceries!”

“Of course, Madam.” Leng Shuang nodded in response and walked out with her. They were just about to go out to buy groceries when they saw Guan Xilin preparing to practice boxing in the courtyard.

“Foster Mother? Where are you going so early in the morning?” Guan Xilin stepped forward and asked in surprise.

When she saw him, Shangguan Wanrong smiled and replied: “I want to make breakfast for everyone but there isn’t much food in the kitchen so Leng Shuang is going to accompany me to buy some groceries.”

“Grocery shopping? Alright, I will accompany you.” He said, with the intention of going out with them.

“No need, Leng Shuang will accompany me.” Shanguan Wanrong said and shook her head.
