XH 298 - I just wish

Once the news of Xiao Hua's new batch of brewed tea no longer worked, Long Zhu moved in an urgent pace after telling Long Lian to keep an eye on Xiao Hua.

Long Zhu, with one track of mind, advised Heise what he should do with the modified spring pool after leading him the way.

After that, only a group of trusted servants were allowed to know about this spring pool's existence and helped out in distributing the content to purity the contaminated area.

In the future, only war heroes and those that contributed to their country will be allowed to use the spring pool, but in a limited amount. The four Celestial Beasts' vassals, also their Kingdom's next ruler, will revise this plan until the concerned parties were satisfied.

Once they saw the new spring water worked just like Xiao Hua's tea and purified the dark mist released by the demons, Long Zhu passed all the responsibility to his eighth brother and hurried back to his wife's side without a moment of delay.

Long Zhu found Xiao Hua working beside her foster fathers, treating the patients with a polite, serviceable smile as she patiently listened to their complaints.

Normally, the lazy Xiao Hua would be easily distracted and be the first one to notice a new person's arrival. Currently, she was trying very hard to invest her energy in helping people instead of thinking depressing thoughts.

Yu Zheng and Bai Chuan had long sensed Long Zhu's arrival before he entered the tent, and because of his concerned gaze, Bai Chuan does not make it difficult for his apprentice. He took over Xiao Hua's job and gestured her out of the tent.

Long Zhu's worried expression eased a little when Xiao Hua smiled upon seeing him. He strode towards her and took her away after giving his teacher a grateful look.

They stepped into an empty tent and Long Zhu immediately gave his wife a tight hug. His body temperature was higher than usual, as he had hurriedly come back. "There's no need for us to remain here. The others can handle everything without us. Let us return home."

"...Okay." Xiao Hua agreed since her movement was not as fast as Doctor Bai and Yu Zheng when it comes to bandaging and applying medicine. Plus, it was her habit to glance at Doctor Bai to look for confirmation before treating the patient's injuries, in case she did something wrong.

It wasted a lot of time by doing so.

Once Long Zhu gathered his servants, he passed down the order, "Xiao Liu and San Sheng will be following us. The others will stay behind and help out."

An Jing's gaze shifted to Xiao Liu, who quickly straightened his back and answered seriously, "Xiao Liu will risk his life to ensure Master and Madam will return to the manor safely!"

Da Bei stared up at Xiao Hua with his pair of bright, clear eyes like a dog faithfully waiting for his owner's next order.

"Da Bei, please stay behind and help others in my stead?" Xiao Hua reluctantly requested. It was not that she does not want Da Bei to rest, but she could guess that Long Zhu will ask Da Bei to follow them back by foot instead of letting him into the carriage.

Xiao Hua could see Long Zhu's mood was not good because of her matter and their conversation was best done between them. At least with others, Da Bei could rest and return home at an easy going pace.

Much to her relief, Da Bei nodded like an obedient child and she followed Long Zhu to go back home with an easy heart.

When the couple was no longer in sight, An Jing dropped a sentence for his son to hear. "How are you going to help in this form?"
