Chapter 160: Treating Long Yue [1]

After finishing their breakfast, Zhang Yuan and Long Xian stood up from the dining table, exchanging a few words before stepping out into the hallway. Not long after, Ming Yuelin and Xue Hua followed them, quietly chatting among themselves.

Speaking with Zhang Yuan for a bit, Long Xian hurriedly left the place and at this time, Jin Wei walked towards him.

"Senior Yuan..."

Hm? Zhang Yuan glanced at her and smiled gently "Wei..."

With a smile, Jin Wei gently nudged at his shoulder "Senior Yuan.. what happened with the Emperor? You are suddenly so friendly and is bowing to him."

Zhang Yuan chuckled lightly, giving a faint nod. "Nothing too serious. The Emperor's daughter is ill, and I'm helping him by treating her. He's just showing his gratitude."

Jin Wei's eyes widened in realization. "His daughter is sick? That explains it." Her playful demeanor faded slightly as she considered the situation. "So because of this... you won't be joining us for sightseeing today, huh?"

Zhang Yuan gave a slow nod, a small smile lingering on his face. "That's right. I need to focus on her treatment. It's more important right now."

Zhang Yuan gave a nod and Jin Wei frowned slightly "Then.. we can also stay here and maybe help? We can go there tomorrow.. the five of us."

At this time, Long Xian hurried there with another woman beside him and that woman had a paper and pen in her hand.

"Master Yuan..."

Zhang Yuan glanced at her and spoke "Now... I will tell you some ingredients and you have to write them down on the paper."

The woman, clearly understanding the gravity of the situation, nodded obediently.

Long Xian, still restless with concern, spotted a tall decorative vase sitting on a nearby stool. He quickly removed the vase and placed the stool in front of the woman.

"Use this as a writing surface," Long Xian said, his fatherly affection evident in his actions. It was clear how much his daughter's condition weighed on him, and his every move was filled with an air of desperation.

The woman, though slightly surprised by the unusual gesture, didn't question it. She placed the paper on the stool and poised her pen, ready to write Zhang Yuan's instructions.

And then, Zhang Yuan began to tell the names of some herbs and liquids that would be needed for medication.

The woman attentively heard his words and wrote them down, as Long Xian also double checked that she was writing the things clearly.

He is still nervous and panicking about the whole situation, praying that this medication should work.

After a few more minutes of listing herbs and rare liquids like 'Crystal Jade Dew' and 'Fire Plum Resin,' Zhang Yuan stopped and took a soft breath.

"These materials can be obtained relatively easily from the Capital's pill shop and the medicinal pavilion," he explained.

Long Xian nodded, his mind racing as he planned to dispatch his servants immediately.

Zhang Yuan, however, wasn't finished. "Now," he continued, "there are a few rarer herbs that will be required for the medication. I'll have to go and retrieve them myself."

Huh? Long Xian was startled to hear this and hurriedly replied "No, Master Yuan.. just tell me the name, and I will send guards to search for those rare herbs."

Zhang Yuan shook his head "That will be time consuming.. I know the exact location of the herbs near the mountain in the Pearl city."

"It should be easy for me, I will return within hours."

Long Xian reluctantly nodded his head and as Zhang Yuan prepared to leave, Jin Wei quickly stopped him "Senior Tian.. I am also coming with you."

Hm? Zhang Yuan glanced at her and raised an eyebrow "Wei?"

Jin Wei walked near him with a smile on her face "If I can help you, we can easily gather herbs... so come with me."

"Ok..."

Zhang Yuan doesn't mind that and nodded his head "Ok then..."

...

*swoosh* Zhang Yuan and Jin Wei were dashing through the air and their destination is the mountains near the Pearl City.

Their robes fluttered in the wind as the lush greenery of the mountains grew closer with each passing moment.

In an hour, they arrived at the heart of the dense forest that spread across the mountainside, their feet softly landing amidst the thick foliage and towering trees.

Jin Wei glanced around in amusement and muttered "There shouldn't be any beasts in this mountain right now..."

"Yeah..."

Just as he finished speaking, a soft *whoosh* disturbed the stillness.

A woman slowly came levitating from the air and landed on the ground in front of them.

Huh? Looking at the woman, Jin Wei's guard instantly rose, her stance shifting as her fingers hovered near her sword, her eyes narrowing.

Something about this woman felt... different. The air around her shimmered with an aura of power, though it wasn't hostile. Still, Jin Wei was cautious.

Zhang Yuan, however, had a smile on his face and Mei Yu leaped forward, jumping into his arms "My Lord..."

Her delicate form fit perfectly against his chest as he caught her, his hands instinctively wrapping around her waist, holding her close.

"Yu'er..." Zhang Yuan chuckled softly, brushing a few strands of her hair away from her face as he gazed down at her with fondness.

His hands tightened slightly around her, pulling her even closer into the embrace. "Yu'er.."

Jin Wei stood frozen for a moment, her eyes darting between Zhang Yuan and Mei Yu and she wasn't quite sure how to process this sudden appearance.

She didn't know he had such a... close connection with someone like this. The woman in Zhang Yuan's arms was no ordinary cultivator... that much was clear.

There was an air of elegance and power about her that suggested someone of great standing, yet here she was, cradled affectionately in Zhang Yuan's arms.

Mei Yu nestled herself comfortably against him, her fingers lightly tracing patterns on his robes. "Well, since I noticed your presence entering the forest... I also came to see you."

Jin Wei blinked, feeling as though she were intruding on an intimate moment.

She cleared her throat softly, stepping back a little to give them space.

Despite her initial wariness, it was clear now that there was nothing to fear from this woman.

Zhang Yuan patted her head and turned to Jin Wei "Yu'er... this is Jin Wei, the one I told you.. who stopped the Beast wave."

Realizing this, Mei Yu glanced at her and showed a polite smile.

Jin Wei returned her smile and Zhang Yuan introduced her "Wei, this is Mei Yu... my wife."

Hearing him call him wife, Mei Yu's gaze trembled as a soft blush spread across her cheeks in shyness.

His wife... Jin Wei understood the relationship between them and nodded her head "Miss Yu..."

Mei Yu waved her hand "You don't have to be so formal... you can just call me Sister Yu."

Jin Wei nodded her head and a smile appeared on her face seeing that she is friendly "Sister Yu..."

Mei Yu turned to look at Zhang Yuan and asked "My Lord... you returned quickly. Where is Little Sister Yuelin and Hua?"

"They are still in the palace, I came back to fetch some herbs to treat someone."

Mei Yu understood and nodded her head "Ok then, I will also help.."

"Hmm..."

Meanwhile, Jin Wei was quite confused and asked "Sister Yu... you were in the forest till now? because you came after Senior Yuan came."

Still hugging him, Mei Yu replied, "Hm? That's because we live in the summit of this mountain."

Eh? Jin Wei was dumbfounded 'They live in the mountains...? Senior Yuan is powerful and he should surely have a lot of money. Then why?'

'Because he is living in the mountains, he exactly knows where the rare herbs are?'

"Come on, let's not waste time..."

Xue Hua quickly went behind the woman who wrote the materials and spoke "I will also help..."

She then turned to Ming Yuelin "Senior Sister and Sister Zin..."

Ming Yuelin and Chen zin nodded their heads before following Xue Hua to the Medicine pavilion.

Seeing this, Long Xian smiled heartedly and walked back to his daughter's room.

Entering in, he glanced at the blonde-haired woman lying on the bed and his gaze softened "You will... recover soon, dear."

...

With that, the three of them began to collect herbs from the forest that are essential for the treatment.

"Mountain Lotus Root, Silver Blossom Essence, Azure Dew Fern, Red Flame Orchid, Ghost Moon Petal, Golden Serpent Grass, Windspirit Moss, Willow bark..."

Mei Yu kept reading the herbs inside the basket and glanced up at Zhang Yuan "Is this all, My Lord?"

Zhang Yuan gave a nod and took the basket storing it in his storage ring.

With that, he leaned forward pecking her lips softly "Then, I am taking my leave dear, wait for me at home."

Mei Yu smiled softly and nodded her head before flying away from there.

Seeing them being intimate, Jin Wei glanced away in embarrassment.

Zhang Yuan glanced at her and spoke "Shall we leave too?"
