The Marriage of an Esteemed Supreme Healer, a Noble Ruler

2268 Accepting Your Proposal

Medicinal mountain.

Compared to the past, this place was much livelier now.

Ever since Shu Jing was reprimanded in public and trashed many of the rules, the heavenly doctors of Fantasy Divine Palace no longer had to be restrained and could freely come and go to the medicinal mountain.

This was what Shu Jing saw when she arrived.

At first glance, almost every mountain was crowded. All kinds of medicinal herbs were continuously taken away.

Although this wasn’t the first time Shu Jing saw this scene, her heart still skipped a beat.

In the past, if these people wanted to get these things, they would have to spend a lot of effort to please her. But now, they no longer cared about her.

In fact, a few people walked past her. They only bowed and greeted her before leaving quickly.

In the past—

Shu Jing took a deep breath and suppressed those messy thoughts. Now that things have come to this, it is useless for me to think too much. I don’t want to give up the position of Eighth Deity.

But at this moment, from the corner of her eye, she suddenly saw many people heading toward a certain mountain peak. This is…

As she was in a daze, she saw a woman leisurely walking over from afar.

Wrapped in a colorful dress, her black hair fluttered in the wind. As she moved, her graceful figure was revealed.

There were small pieces of broken jade on the colorful rope on her wrist. She only raised her hand gently and tucked her hair behind her ear.

Shu Jing’s face turned cold.

Those people were clearly targeting the woman.

“Miss Xiao Ba, we meet again. What a coincidence! Hahaha!”

“Miss Xiao Ba, did you bring enough herbs back last time? What are you interested in today? Why don’t I help you look for it?”

“Miss Xiao Ba, I heard that you’re quite interested and talented in refining medicine. Why don’t we spar when we have time?”

Extremely eager voices sounded.

Xiao Ba plucked an ice lotus and smiled lazily. “I’ve been coming here every day recently. It’s not a coincidence that we bumped into each other. In addition, there are so many medicinal herbs here. I’ll take whatever I like. As for sparring…”

She blinked, and her thick and long eyelashes fluttered slightly. Her beautiful eyes were charming. “I’m not that free.”

Most of these people are just Senior Physicians. How could they spar with me? If I have the time, I might as well go back and continue refining medicine. Ever since I became a Supreme Physician, Big Brother really knows how to squeeze me dry!

At the thought of this, she sighed sadly. “Besides, I’ve been very tired recently.”

Everyone was originally very embarrassed by her retort, but when they saw her frown slightly, their hearts ached, and they felt guilty.

“Then… In that case, we won’t disturb you anymore.”

“That’s right, that’s right. Miss Xiao Ba, go back and rest as soon as possible.”

Finally, it is quiet. Xiao Ba blinked and smiled in satisfaction. Then, she slowly chose some herbs.

These people were really interesting. Because she had offended the Eighth Deity previously, none of them dared to say a word. Now that the situation had reversed, they were no longer afraid and followed over.

Pfft.

After making her choice, she prepared to leave. But as soon as she turned around, she felt a gaze that couldn’t be considered kind land on her.

She stopped in her tracks and looked up. After that, she immediately smiled. “Eighth Deity, it’s been a long time.”

Shu Jing didn’t want to pay much attention to Xiao Ba, but when she saw the smile on the latter’s face, she felt that it was especially dazzling.

“Although the medicinal mountain is open now, the herbs inside are especially precious. If you can’t make good use of them, it’s better not to take so many away. It’s more suitable to leave them to others who need them more.”

Xiao Ba was stunned. “Eighth Deity, why do you say that? Why are these herbs a waste in my hands?”

Shu Jing looked at her coldly. This woman is like a demon. All her thoughts are probably spent on her face. How could she have the time and energy to think about refining medicine?

“With so many people disturbing you every day, you probably can’t refine medicine well.” Shu Jing’s words were tactful and sarcastic. She was just short of directly saying that Xiao Ba only wanted to seduce men every day.

When many people around heard this, their expressions changed. No matter what, it wasn’t nice to say such things to a girl.

Unexpectedly, just as they thought that Xiao Ba was going to go crazy, Xiao Ba suddenly smiled. “Oh, is that what the Eighth Deity is talking about? You don’t have to worry about that. Although I feel a little annoyed occasionally, I’m already used to it. People who don’t catch my eye will definitely not disturb me. It’s the same no matter how many people there are. Oh, I almost forgot. The Eighth Deity probably hasn’t experienced this before, so she thinks that people’s hearts are so easily swayed.”

She took a step forward, tilted her head, and smiled. “If you’re like me, you’ll naturally get used to it.”

Shu Jing was furious! Is Xiao Ba mocking me?! As the Eighth Deity, I naturally can’t be compared to such a demon-like woman!

“You—”

“Sigh, Eighth Deity, I think your dark circles are getting heavier again. Have you not rested well recently? That’s true. If I was reprimanded in public, I probably wouldn’t be able to maintain my face. I’d definitely not come out for 180 years.”

“Impudent!”

“Hehe, Eighth Deity, don’t be angry. I’m just joking with you—I’ve never been scolded before, and I naturally can’t understand your current mood. If I’m wrong, please be magnanimous and don’t hold it against me.”

Shu Jing was so choked that she couldn’t say a word. There seemed to be a fire burning in her chest and abdomen, and she wished she could tear the woman in front of her apart!

However, Xiao Ba had already waved her hand and left. “The herbs this time are enough for a period of time. I’ll come again after a while. Eighth Deity, let’s meet another day.”

…

After successfully choking Shu Jing, Xiao Ba was in a good mood and happily returned to her residence. But before she arrived, she saw someone standing at the intersection.

She paused in her tracks.

However, that person had already seen her. After hesitating for a moment, he came forward. “Miss Xiao Ba.”

“Liang He? Why are you here again?” Xiao Ba looked at him in surprise. Didn’t he already run away from me in anger previously? He even said that he would never look for me again. How—

Liang He’s face turned red. “Miss Xiao Ba, I was rash that day. Don’t… don’t take it to heart. After I went back that day, I’ve been thinking about it for the past few days. Miss Xiao Ba is magnificent and has countless admirers. I’m indeed not qualified to ask Miss Xiao Ba to like me right away.”

He hesitated for a long moment before saying with difficulty, “Miss Xiao Ba, I’ve thought about it. Your suggestion that day… I can accept it.”

Xiao Ba: ???
