Chapter 5 Grandpa Lu



Fu Jingheng looked at Qin Sheng carefully. Apart from a few drops of water still clinging to her face, he couldn't see anything unusual.

He sighed inwardly, took out a few tissues, and handed them over.

Qin Sheng reached out and took it.

The hot pot broth and ingredients arrived one after another. Qin Sheng rested her cheek on one hand and slowly started cooking the meat.

Her dark blue eyelashes obscured her beautiful almond-shaped eyes, making it impossible to tell what she was thinking.

"Have some vegetables." The man's indifferent voice broke the silence in the private room.

Qin Sheng lifted her eyelids to look, and her eyes flickered when she saw the small bowl of bright green vegetables that Fu Jingheng had pushed in front of her.

She stared at the greens for a while, then finally picked up a stalk and put it in her mouth.

Although the little girl still didn't show much expression, Fu Jingheng saw a look of disdain on her face.

He raised an eyebrow: "Don't you like it?"

Qin Sheng: "Mm."

It's like eating grass, it has no flavor.

Fu Jingheng found it amusing, but he didn't indulge her.

He pushed the small bowl towards Qin Sheng again: "Be good, eat this."

Qin Sheng: "..."

That little expression was quite indescribable.

Fu Jingheng coaxed her, "There will be a reward after you finish eating."

Qin Sheng: ...Do you think she's a three-year-old?

but……

"Can I get cash instead?" Qin Sheng asked.

"able."

Oh well.

Qin Sheng picked up another piece of green vegetable and put it in her mouth.

Xie Fang, who wanted to say something but didn't have time to speak: ... He seemed to have discovered some incredible secret.

Yes, Sheng Sheng is short of money, I'll remember that.

Whether she had calmed down on her own or her emotions had been calmed by his antics, Fu Jingheng could clearly feel that the girl's restlessness had subsided considerably when they got home.

He felt a slight sense of relief.

Qin Sheng happened to be looking over and said, "I'll go prepare the medicinal bath. Come over in an hour."

He went upstairs after saying that.

Fu Jingheng's injury was somewhat troublesome, but it wasn't too difficult for Qin Sheng. The main task was to suppress the old injury that had flared up again.

As for a complete cure...

Qin Sheng hesitated for a moment, then looked down at Fu Jingheng: "Can you get some Spirit Nourishing Grass and Heavenly Azure?"

Fu Jingheng's body was mostly submerged in the brown medicinal liquid, with only his two dazzlingly white shoulders showing. He was resting with his eyes closed when he heard this, so he opened them.

He thought for a moment: "I can give the Spirit-Nourishing Grass a try, but Tiancang... isn't that thing extinct?"

Qin Sheng found out.

She still had two Heavenly Azure Seeds at her base, but these things are very difficult to cultivate, and even she couldn't guarantee a 100% success rate, so she didn't mention them.

Fu Jingheng, however, realized something.

With needles stuck in his head and shoulders, he couldn't turn his head to see her expression, so he could only ask directly, "If there were a Heavenly Cang, could you heal the injuries inside my body?"

Qin Sheng nodded, then, remembering that he couldn't see, she hummed in agreement: "I'm about 80% sure."

Eighty percent, that's quite high.

A slight ripple flickered in Fu Jingheng's usually indifferent eyes, and his voice, tinged with the effects of the medicinal bath, became a little hoarse as he said, "I understand."

Qin Sheng didn't say anything more, just quietly waited for time to pass.

Fifteen minutes later.

Qin Sheng reached out and removed the silver needles from Fu Jingheng's body, instructing him, "He can come out after soaking for an hour," before leaving the pharmacy.

It's almost ten o'clock now. Normally, Qin Sheng would already be in bed by this time.

However, she had slept all day and wasn't sleepy at all. Coupled with some lingering thoughts in her mind, she left the room after lying in bed for almost twenty minutes.

Fu Jingheng was still soaking in a medicinal bath in his room, while downstairs Xie Fang was engrossed in playing video games.

She glanced at Xie Fang and said, "I'm going out for a bit."

Xie Fang had just gotten a five-kill streak and hadn't even had time to be happy when he heard this sentence, followed by a bang as the door slammed shut.

It's almost ten o'clock. Can Xie Fang really let a young girl like her go out alone?

Of course not.

He forgot all about the game and immediately chased after her, but Qin Sheng was nowhere to be found.

Xie Fang looked around at the entrance of the residential area but didn't see Qin Sheng. He asked the old man at the gate, but he also said he hadn't seen her. So he had no choice but to go back to the apartment.

Let's ask Master Fu what to do first.

Qin Sheng didn't even go through the main gate; she climbed over the wall out of the residential area and then hailed a taxi and left.

An hour later.

Qin Sheng looked at the small building in front of her, which was both familiar and unfamiliar, and pursed her lips.

Without hesitation, he went straight up and pressed the doorbell.

After a long time, so long that Qin Sheng almost thought the person inside had left, the door slowly opened.

An elderly man with half-white hair and beard appeared at the door.

Qin Sheng paused for a moment, then called out, "Grandpa Lu."
