Chapter 9: Mother I Need Money

"Thank you for the food." Gao Lan Mei smiled embarrassingly to her parents as they looked at her strangely.

As a matter of fact, she still wanted to eat more but Feng Ji reminded her not to forget her manners. These people were not her father's subordinates, so they were not used to the way she ate.

Feng Ji, who was watching the family from the window, rolled her small-eyes. She was currently in her little brown sparrow form, so the action seemed funny.

In both lives, it appeared that Gao Lan Mei was still the same. There were two things that she couldn't help but want, those are treasures and food. These were her greatest weaknesses.

"Daughter, I am happy to see that you are taking more care of yourself. If you are hungry, you must eat. Do not be like the other young misses out there who refrain from eating to their heart's content to keep a good appearance," Gao Qi said after noticing that Gao Lan Mei was embarrassed.

Though Gao Qi was not used to seeing Gao Lan Mei like this, he still felt that this is a good sign. She did not care about being fat so it might also mean that she did not think about the second prince anymore.

"Yes, father. From now on, I will take care of myself and that will be one of my priorities aside from being a filial daughter to you and mother." Gao Lan Mei declared seriously. 

Before, the original Gao Lan Mei was always concerned about her appearance for the sake of the second prince. It was logical for everyone to think that after the incident, she would give up on the prince. She didn't have the cultivation and appearance to even pass as a concubine for the royal family.

After gettingGao Lan Mei's assurance, the Gao parents felt at ease. "Good." 

Feng Ji knew the truth though. They were just thinking too much into it. The young miss in front of them was an entirely different Gao Lan Mei who liked to eat food more than talk.

"Mother, I need money," she declared. It was not yet possible for her to open the storage ring she got from the second prince.

At this moment, she didn't have enough money to buy even a quarter of the medicine needed for refining the aptitude pill. She would also need a lot of those pills to change her entire physical constitution so that she would be able to cultivate a little bit of spiritual energy.

The aptitude pill was the most reasonable solution she could consider with her current resources.

Getting the holy fire from the Holy Valley could be an option in the future. Obtaining this holy fire would be a very dangerous task that Gao Lan Mei was pretty sure even the most famous mercenary on the Mortal Domain would not take.

Probably someone from the Immortal Domain who was currently having fun or at least had nothing better to do could be hired to get the holy fire. But that would be very expensive though.

If she got lucky, she might suddenly get an inheritance from a very strong cultivator. To do so, she needed to go to a tomb which other cultivators had already visited. This idea would also give her a low chance of success.

If she had a husband, double repair was also a good choice to improve strength after she had consumed enough aptitude pills. That is if her husband was a cultivator too.

"Money? What for?" Li Mao asked. This daughter of hers seldom asked money for reasonable things. She managed the Gao household's expenses so she was aware of it.

"The Holy Doctor said that I could learn medicine, he would not take me as a disciple though. He said that I should learn on my own. I will use the money for herbs and medicine books."

"Really? He said that you can be a doctor?" Gao Qi was ecstatic. Even if her daughter could not be the Holy Doctor's disciple, to be able to get approval for Gao Lan Mei to learn medicine was good enough.

Using the Holy Doctor as an excuse to ask for money was the most reasonable explanation that Gao Lan Mei could come up with. 'Whoever you are, Holy Doctor, I, Gao Lan Mei, owe you a favor.'
