She smiled and patted her mother's hand, saying, "Mom, don't worry, I'm really fine. If I were really hurt, would I be able to talk to you so energetically?"
Seeing that her daughter was speaking seriously and that she hadn't found anything unusual, Fu Ya felt a little relieved.
She let go of his hand and said, "That's good. If there's nothing else, go and get some rest. You must be tired from the journey back."
"Okay, then I'll go back to my room and set up the formation." Rong Jiaojiao nodded, got up, and went back to her room.
She quickly set up the formation and came out. Rong Lianhu had already prepared the lobster, and Fu Ya was preparing the ingredients in the kitchen.
Rong Jiaojiao leaned closer and asked with a grin, "Dad, do you need my help?"
Rong Lianhu glanced at her and said in a low voice, "After dinner, tell me the truth."
Rong Jiaojiao shrank her neck and gave an embarrassed smile: "Dad, you have such sharp eyes, you can see through anything."
Rong Lianhu snorted: "Do you think I don't even have this much insight?"
Fu Ya walked over with the condiments, looking at the father and daughter suspiciously: "What are you two whispering about?"
"It's nothing!" Rong Jiaojiao immediately shook her head, smiling as she took the seasonings. "Mom, let me help you."
At dinner time, the family of three sat around the table, where fragrant steamed lobster with garlic sauce and several home-style dishes were laid out.
Fu Ya kept putting food on Rong Jiaojiao's plate, saying, "Eat more, you must not have eaten properly while you were out."
Rong Jiaojiao nodded as she ate, "Mmm, Mom's cooking is still the best."
Rong Lianhu silently observed his daughter and noticed that she ate more slowly than usual and occasionally frowned slightly, which made him even more certain that she must have been injured.
But he didn't expose her; he simply served her a bowl of hot soup: "Drink some soup to warm yourself up."
"Thank you, Dad!" Rong Jiaojiao took the soup bowl, lowered her head and took a sip. The hot soup went down her throat, and warmth instantly spread throughout her body, even relieving some of the pain in her meridians.
"Don't be so polite. Tell me, what have you been doing for the past six months?"
While eating, Rong Jiaojiao shared her wonderful experiences over the past six months with them. She talked about how she and her second brother brought back a lot of seafood from diving in the sea, and how they prepared a seafood feast by the sea. She was so proud that her eyebrows almost flew off.
Rong Lianhu and Fu Ya both wanted to go to the beach right away after hearing this.
Rong Jiaojiao slowly shared interesting things, and it turns out she's experienced quite a lot these past few months.
However, she only talks about the fun things and never mentions the dangerous things she or others have done.
The meal was finished in a warm atmosphere. After the meal, Fu Ya cleaned up the dishes. Rong Jiaojiao wanted to help, but Fu Ya told her to go back to her room to rest: "You just got back, so rest well. You don't need to do these chores."
Rong Jiaojiao had no choice but to return to her room.
Just as she closed the door, she heard Rong Lianhu outside say to Fu Ya in a low voice, "You tidy up first, I'll go check on Jiaojiao."
Her heart tightened; she knew she couldn't avoid it any longer, so she simply sat down on the edge of the kang (a heated brick bed) and waited.
Sure enough, a moment later, Rong Lianhu pushed the door open and closed it behind him, staring at her with a serious look: "Tell me, where are you hurt?"
Rong Jiaojiao sighed, knowing she couldn't hide it any longer, so she had no choice but to confess honestly: "My meridians were slightly injured, and I need to rest for half a month."
Rong Lianhu frowned: "Is it serious?"
"It's not too serious, but I can't use my spiritual power to fight, otherwise it will worsen my injuries." Rong Jiaojiao smiled. "Dad, don't worry, I've already taken the medicine, I just need to rest and recover."
Rong Lianhu was silent for a while, then suddenly reached out and ruffled her hair: "You silly girl, don't be like your brother and the others, only knowing how to report good news and not bad news."
Rong Jiaojiao chuckled: "I just didn't want you to worry."
"Alright, get some rest." Rong Lianhu stood up. "Tomorrow I'll get you some herbs to replenish your qi and blood, and have your mother make you some soup."
"You don't need to do it, I have some. I'll stew it myself tomorrow, and you and Mom can drink some too, it's good for your health!"
Rong Lianhu patted her on the head: "I'm off tomorrow, I'll take care of it."
Rong Jiaojiao smiled and said, "Okay, thank you, Dad!"
Rong Lianhu got up and walked to the door, then looked back at her and whispered, "Don't hide it from us if you get injured in the future."
Rong Jiaojiao's nose tingled, and she nodded: "Mm."
Sigh, I've worried my parents. I thought I had a Qi and Blood Talisman and could hide it from them, but I should have gone somewhere else to recuperate.
After her father left, Rong Jiaojiao breathed a sigh of relief. She activated the formation and entered the small secret realm. She fed Ziling a pill before leaving.
She sat cross-legged on the kang (a heated brick bed), poured out a healing pill, swallowed it, and began to circulate her spiritual energy to refine the medicinal power and nourish her meridians.
Although you can't use spiritual power to fight, you can still do some simple breathing exercises.
However, just as she closed her eyes to regulate her breathing, she suddenly remembered the spiritual fragments in the small secret realm, and entered the small secret realm again before she could apply the purification talisman.
Looking at the fragments of spiritual energy that had been gathered together in the small secret realm and rolled into egg-sized balls, she affixed talismans for dispelling evil and purifying them, allowing them to be properly purified, before returning to her room to meditate.
In another room, Fu Ya climbed onto the kang (a heated brick bed) and whispered, "Where is our daughter hurt?"
Rong Lianhu paused in his motion of getting onto the kang (heated brick bed) and said, "You noticed it too?"
Fu Ya rolled her eyes at him and said, "I'm a doctor, after all. Although she acted as if nothing was wrong, she would obviously pause when picking up food with her right hand, and she didn't dare to put any force on her left shoulder."
Rong Lianhu sighed: "His meridians are injured; he needs to rest for half a month."
Fu Ya sat bolt upright. "What?" she asked, quickly lowering her voice. "Is it that serious? Should we go to the hospital?"
"Our daughter said she took the medicine and didn't want us to worry." Rong Lianhu tucked the blanket around his wife. "Besides, her medicine is definitely better than ours. We'll just make her some nourishing soup tomorrow."
Fu Ya's eyes reddened with heartache: "These children have been like this since they were little, they never complain about the hardships they endure outside..."
"Alright, alright, the kids just don't want us to worry. We'll make her some extra good food tomorrow. Go to sleep!"
Rong Jiaojiao was woken up by Rong Lianhu knocking on the door the next day. When she got up, there were several kinds of breakfast on the table, obviously prepared by her parents early in the morning.
Rong Jiaojiao rubbed her eyes, looking at the steaming millet porridge, golden fried eggs, and freshly made scallion pancakes on the table, and felt a warm glow in her heart.
I immediately put a cleaning charm on myself, and not only did I become clean, but I also felt more energetic.
Fu Ya was carrying a plate of pickled cucumbers out of the kitchen. When she saw her come out, she immediately called out, "Come sit down and eat. Mom specially made red date porridge for you to replenish your qi and blood."
She knew how lazy Rong Jiaojiao was; she never washed up in winter, and sometimes even combed her hair using spiritual power. She was too lazy to ask her to wash up.
"Thank you, Mom!" Rong Jiaojiao replied sweetly, quickly walked to the dining table and sat down. After a night of regulating her meridians, she felt much better than yesterday, and she was in a good mood.
