"I was absolutely terrified."
Ning Hong said indifferently.
In his view, the colorful appearance of the man clearly indicated that the medicine was working.
This person just can't stand suffering and keeps screaming.
Suddenly, a scream was heard.
Xia Qianwan felt as if the meridians in her body had become wider.
Just standing there, he could feel the spiritual energy between heaven and earth, which was completely different from usual.
"Quickly, bring me the spirit root stone."
This is considered one of their family's treasures; as the name suggests, it's used to test one's spiritual roots.
Xia Qianwan placed her hand on it, and a burst of purple light crackled and popped on the spirit root stone.
"A single mutated lightning-type spiritual root."
Ruhe almost screamed, as did Xia Qianwan.
He went from having three spiritual roots to having a mutated single spiritual root.
Luckily, he chose to take it himself in the end. If someone else had taken it, he would have regretted it terribly.
"Okay, this medicine really works, right?"
"Um."
Xia Shengfeng looked at Xia Qianhe with a responsible expression.
"Qianhe, since Father has said so, we cannot go back on our word. Pack your things and leave with this person."
"Father, I understand. I'm not angry with you, but—"
"But what?"
"However, please allow me to take the dowry that my mother prepared for me with me, Father."
Xia Shengfeng was silent for a moment, then said, "Okay, go get it." Anyway, she couldn't touch those dowry items, so she might as well give them to Xia Qianhe directly.
Her mother only gave birth to her, so naturally her mother's dowry was to be left to her.
It seems the man doesn't intend to prepare a dowry for her, so she can only take what belongs to her.
Her mother's dowry?
Ruhe looked somewhat anxious.
That room was sealed, and only Xia Qianhe could enter.
Xia Qianhe led Ning Xi to the door of the room and knocked.
The door opened automatically.
"Mother, I've brought my future husband to meet you."
A sigh seemed to escape the room, and a gentle breeze blew by, like her mother's hand carefully touching her face.
She touched Ning Xize again.
Ning Xi didn't seem scared at all; instead, she tilted her head and rubbed against the breeze.
The wind seemed to pause for a moment.
After that, he became even more cheerful and started circling around Ning Xize.
Xia Qianhe could sense that the wind seemed to have become happier.
With a wave of her hand, she stored everything into her mustard seed space.
This space was left to her by her mother.
"Mother, come with me."
The gust of wind paused for a while before coalescing into a human shape, which shook its head.
She was able to stay in the room only because of its special spiritual energy.
Of course, recently, the spiritual energy in this room has suddenly decreased, so even if Xia Qianhe doesn't get married, this wisp of her consciousness will no longer be able to remain.
The humanoid figure's features were somewhat blurry, but Xia Qianhe could see them clearly.
She was smiling; she was very satisfied with Ning Xi.
Another soft sound drifted past her ears, and Xia Qianhe seemed to hear the words "take good care of yourself." The wind suddenly stopped, and the human form vanished instantly.
"Mother—don't worry, I will live a good life."
"I will live a good and happy life."
Two lines of tears fell from Xia Qianhe's face.
Ning Xi hurriedly took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped away her tears. "Don't cry. If you don't want to marry me, I'll let you leave after we leave here."
Ning Xi said in a low voice.
He was honest and straightforward, but not stupid.
He has five spiritual roots, but they are useless spiritual roots, meaning he can't absorb spiritual energy at all.
His wife was said to have a single Heavenly Spiritual Root, a genius, but he ruined her.
"Don't worry, even if you don't want to marry me, I will still ask my brother for help and ask him to find a way to help you."
"Actually, I have already drawn Qi into my body and am now at the Foundation Establishment stage."
However, the ring on her hand would conceal her presence and prevent her from being easily exposed to others.
A single-day spiritual root is extremely rare.
Generally speaking, the chances of a person obtaining spiritual root in a single day are higher than for others.
However, Qianhe's mother was afraid that her outstanding talent at such a young age would attract the covetousness of outsiders. What if someone wanted her as a furnace?
Therefore, her mother obtained a ring, which would allow her to conceal her aura.
Make her more ordinary.
Even to outsiders, although she was exceptionally talented, she had not yet begun her cultivation.
A person with a single spiritual root can circulate their spiritual energy even while sleeping.
Of course, her family didn't know much about these things. If they did, her father wouldn't have abandoned her so readily.
After all, there are only a few early Foundation Establishment cultivators in this city, although they exist.
Ning Hong then left the Xia family with two other people.
He looked at the empty storage room and felt a pang of emotion.
It seems there really is no going back.
Xia Qianxue stood behind the artificial hill, furious.
Xia Qianhe actually took all the dowry.
In her past life, he also gave her a piece of jade spirit stone, which contained refined iron and was later forged into her natal magic weapon.
This time, she cleaned up her dowry so thoroughly that she would need to find new materials to create her natal magic weapon.
Xia Qianhe followed Ning Hongze back to the Ning family home.
As soon as Xia Qianhe stepped into the Ning family's gate, she couldn't help but gasp.
Everyone says the Ning family is wealthy and powerful, and it's true.
The floor was paved with a single piece of jade, and the artificial hills on both sides were also made of jade. The eaves were covered with colorful glazed tiles.
Silk from Suzhou still lingers in the corridor.
Decorating the entire house—
That's a bit unnecessary.
"Although they are all good things, when they are piled together, they seem really—" ugly.
"Because there is no lady of the house in our family, everything in the house is done by the housekeeper and Xi Ze."
Both of them had no taste and decorated according to their own preferences. For example, the housekeeper tied up a lot of these bright red silk flowers because the housekeeper's wife liked them.
As for these glazed tiles, they were his younger brother's favorite.
"If you don't like it, then tear it all down. From now on, this will be your home too."
Ning Hong had barely finished speaking when the butler and his men rushed over.
"Young Master".
Clearly, this family prefers the simple-minded Ning Xize to the mature, sensible, and capable Ning Hongze.
"What, were you kicked out?" Just then, a woman gracefully walked out.
Xia Qianhe was taken aback. "Didn't you say there was no mistress of the house?"
"This isn't the lady of the house."
Ning Hong then said matter-of-factly, "She's just staying temporarily."
