This meal, everyone all ate till they were very full. That half a pot of porridge was cleanly finished, and even the vegetables were all eaten. Leng Er rubbed his round stomach, saying: “Girl, your cooking is really just too delicious. I’m about to burst!”
“Young master, it’s very late.” Leng Yi said.
“Then let’s go back.” Han Ming Yi glance to Luo Qi again, and left with his hands behind his back.
Du Xiao Li looked to Han Ming Yi’s appearance and said, “Just a child, yet imitating adults with his hands behind his back.”
Luo Qi helped clean up the dishes and upon hearing her words, said, “He’s about twelve or thirteen, right? Twelve year old boys can already be considered adults. Some wealthy families’ young masters, at this age, have already started having bed-warming servant girls.”
Du Xiao Li’s mouth twitched. “Isn’t this still too young?! Luo Qi, did you also have bed-warming servant girls and whatnot?”
“Me?” Luo Qi’s body froze and said, “I might, or I might not have, I also don’t know.”
Sweat. “I forgot that you don’t remember.” Du Xiao Li placed the bowls and chopsticks into the pot and used water to soak, saying: “Just leave the dishes here, we can wash them tomorrow.”
“Okay.” Luo Qi nodded. Right now, they couldn’t see, even if they tried to wash, it might not necessarily get cleaned.
“Guess we can only use cold water to bathe today.” Du Xiao Li said, and used a wooden bucket to fill a bucket of water.
Luo Qi walked over and said, “Let me do it.”
“En?” Du Xiao Li didn’t understand Luo Qi’s meaning, but he’d already placed his hand onto the bucket and began using his inner energy. A moment later, the bucket of water turned into warm water.
“Done.” Luo Qi stood up and said.
Du Xiao Li was stupefied by what Luo Qi did. There’s actually such a miraculous thing!
“Go ahead and take a bath, I’ll go inside.” Luo Qi moved the water bucket to the place where Du Xiao Li normally takes a bath in the courtyard. Then, he turned and returned back inside.
Du Xiao Li finally returned to her sense. She didn’t except that this inner energy could also be used like this! However, fortunately, Luo Qi recovered quite well, else today, she would’ve had to take a cold water bath.
After washing the grease smell and sweat off herself, Du Xiao Li felt alive again. She returned back to her own room, and practiced according to the books again, all the way until the latter half of the night, before she finally went to sleep.
There was still a period of time before the tangerines matured, so Du Xiao Li went with Luo Qi into the mountains to let him teach her martial arts, and to dig up some medical herbs if they see any.
Once things became clear in her head, Du Xiao Li progress in martial arts advanced very quickly, and very soon, also got the gist of qinggong. In the following few days, she would go into the mountains in the morning to practice martial arts and dig for herbs, in the afternoon stay at home and read that medical book, and at night practice controlling her inner energy.
Han Ming Yi would come visit Du Xiao Li’s place with Ji Liu Feng and the others everyday towards the evening. The excuse was letting Leng Er come water Du Xiao Li’s grape saplings for her.
Every time Ji Liu Feng saw Han Ming Yi’s appearance, he would always cover his mouth and secretly laugh, yet would never say anything.
These kinds of days lasted until Du Xiu Heng came back on break.
