Early the next morning, Wen Xin was woken by the sound of her phone ringing loudly. She glanced at the screen and saw an unfamiliar number. Without hesitation, she hung up and turned over to go back to sleep.

A short while later, her phone rang again, this time more persistently. Frustrated, she sat up abruptly and answered the call, her tone irritable. “Who is this? What do you want?”

“It’s me, Zhuge Jingming!” Zhuge Jingming responded cautiously, sensing Wen Xin’s irritation. “Are you still asleep, Little Uncle-Master?”

“What’s the matter?” Wen Xin asked, half-closing her eyes and pushing her hair out of her face.

“Do you remember asking me to help you with your health issues? I found an ancient book at the Green Physician Sect, kept in a small box by our master. It contains a prescription for improving women’s health. Are you interested?”

Zhuge Jingming had been thinking of Wen Xin when he found the ancient book. He had been helping her with her health for over a year without significant progress. Hoping for a breakthrough, he had searched the Green Physician Sect’s archives and found the book.

“If you have time, bring the book to your clinic. My health isn’t urgent,” Wen Xin replied.

She had long given up hope of significantly improving her condition after years of treatment with little progress, thinking the damage from childhood illnesses might be irreversible.

Hearing Wen Xin’s resigned tone, Zhuge Jingming sighed. He just wanted to help her, despite his limited abilities. “Little Uncle-Master, please come by and take a look at this book. It might help. You know how important your health is for your future…”

Zhuge Jingming wanted to encourage Wen Xin not to give up. Though she was his junior, his Uncle-Master, he cared for her as he would a child and wanted to support her in any way he could.

Although there was not much he could do, he was still trying his best. He had been thinking of ways to prevent Wen Xin from giving up.

“Alright, I’ll come to your clinic this afternoon and make some medicine while I’m there. I’m running low,” Wen Xin said.

“Great! I’ll be waiting for you this afternoon. Please make sure to come!” Zhuge Jingming said excitedly. He hadn’t seen Wen Xin in a while and wanted his wife to prepare some of her favorite snacks for her visit.

After hanging up, Wen Xin lay in bed, unable to fall back asleep. She thought about what Zhuge Jingming had said.

He had found an ancient book at the Green Physician Sect. She recalled her master’s medical texts, both treasured volumes and handwritten notes, and didn’t remember anything about a book kept in a wooden box. Could her master have had hidden treasures she wasn’t aware of?

While Wen Xin pondered, Mu Chengxi entered the room, holding a tablet. Seeing that she was awake, he put the tablet on the table and bent down to kiss her forehead gently.

“I need to go to Continent F to handle some matters. Do you want to come with me?” he asked.

“No, I have to visit Zhuge Jingming’s clinic this afternoon to get some medicine. I’m running low,” Wen Xin replied.

Mu Chengxi knew about her ongoing treatment and lay down beside her, gently holding her in his arms and patting her back. “You’ve been on this medication for a long time. When will you be able to stop? Is there any improvement?”

Wen Xin hadn’t explained her condition in detail to Mu Chengxi, only that she needed the medication for her health.

“Cold constitution is hard to treat. Things are better now; my hands aren’t as cold as they used to be,” she said, placing her hand on his abdomen and teasingly tracing his muscles.

Mu Chengxi didn’t stop her, knowing it was her way of changing the subject. He smiled indulgently and didn’t press further. He kissed her deeply, then rolled over, pinning her beneath him, his breath warm against her face…

Two hours later, Wen Xin lay exhausted in bed, watching Mu Chengxi, who was already dressed and looking energetic. She felt it was unfair. She prided herself on her stamina, yet she never seemed to keep up with him in moments like these.

“You should sleep a bit more. Mu Bei will bring you lunch. I need to go,” Mu Chengxi said, bending down to brush Wen Xin’s hair aside and kiss her forehead gently.

“Take Mu Bei with you. I can manage here. I’ll have lunch at Zhuge Jingming’s place and then head to the training base in the afternoon. Don’t worry about me,” Wen Xin said, feeling a sudden unease about Mu Chengxi traveling alone.

“No need. Mu Bei will stay with you. No one in Continent F can harm me. Take care of yourself, and I’ll come to find you at the training base when I return,” Mu Chengxi reassured her gently.

“Make sure to call or message me. Let Mu Bei take you to the airport. I’ll rest a bit more and go to Zhuge Jingming’s clinic after he returns,” Wen Xin said, holding his neck and resting her forehead against his.

“Alright. I’ll message you when I arrive,” Mu Chengxi said, kissing her softly on the lips before leaving the room.

After he left, Wen Xin, though tired, couldn’t sleep. She picked up her phone from the bedside table and logged into her Truth Listener account. She found Justin’s chat and sent him a message.

“Keep an eye on the situation in Continent F for me. Let me know if there’s any news.”

Justin replied quickly, “Boss, did you hear something? Things are lively in Continent F lately. Want to join the fun? I just arrived here myself!”
