Chapter 127: Buying pills!
In the morning sunlight, Zhang Yuan stood looking at the sun as the gentle breeze caressed his face.
'As Big Sister said... sex alone was not enough. Sex with love was so much better... and I think it is time to talk with the three women back in my palace.'
While he was thinking like this standing outside the inn, Zhang Ming who was passing along the door saw Zhang Yuan standing outside.
She walked to him and saw the subtle smile playing on his lips "Little Brother..."
Hm? Zhang Yuan turned to face her "Ming..."
Chuckling, Zhang Ming teased "Seems like you were reminiscing about something?"
With a shake of his head, Zhang Yuan's eyes softened as he spoke "No... I just thought how beautiful it is to live as a human and experience these emotions."
Giggling, Zhang ming spoke "To be invincible is to know no fear, no pain... but to be human is to feel it all, to ache and bleed, yet still choose to love despite the breaking."
"In weakness, you find the strength that power alone could never grant you."
Hearing Zhang Ming's profound words, Zhang Yuan let out a soft chuckle and Zhang Ming spoke "I heard from Min'er, how you strive to feel emotions and be a human."
With a nod, Zhang Yuan replied "In all my endless knowledge, it took becoming human to understand that the smallest smile can hold more power than a thousand lifetimes."
Zhang Ming's eyes grew tender and she replied "You have learned to love... which itself is already great and speaking with you, I feel like you are a human."
"Even with all that power you hold, you are not arrogant in the slightest and you are being so kind." she said in admiration.
Zhang Yuan just smiled looking at her and Zhang Ming tapped his shoulder "The breakfast should be ready right now. Come on..."
"Yeah..."
...
"Haah..."
Taking a deep breath, Zhang Fumin opened her eyes after her hours of cultivation and wiped the sweat from her forehead.
"I will go and freshen up first."
She got down from the bed and stretched her body walking toward the bathroom in her room.
A few more minutes passed and wearing normal clothes, she stepped out of the room, tying her hair in a ponytail.
Hm? But she was startled to see Zhang Yuan standing in front of her and raised an eyebrow in surprise "Yuan?"
Letting out a sigh, Zhang Yuan asked in a soft voice "I want to know... why are you holing yourself inside the room and cultivating..."
With a shake of her head, Zhang Fumin prepared to walk away from there "I told you already, Yuan... I want to cultivate like this."
"Ah!" However, Zhang Yuan gently grabbed her hand and pulled her close to him, his arm taking her delicate waist.
Holding her in his arms, he gazed into her blue eyes "Why are you even cultivating like this? Last time, you said you want to get your revenge by yourself..."
"So, what is your motive now? I can make you powerful... so why are you choosing the hard path?"
Being held in his arms, Zhang Fumin blushed faintly and placed his arms over his shoulders "I already told you... I want to cultivate this in this way."
Zhang Yuan sighed helplessly and Zhang Fumin continued "It is uh... just that uhm feels boring to suddenly power up like that."
"It is no longer fun."
"So, I think... cultivating like this is better than suddenly powering up."
Hearing her reason, Zhang Yuan couldn't say anything and Zhang Fumin leaned onto his shoulder.
She also wants to spend most of her time with her little brother but when she sees him always flirting and kissing Ning Xia... she just can't tolerate that.
So she thought of cultivating, so she doesn't have to see them kissing often.
"Well, anyway... I have to go to a pill shop in this empire to get a pill for my cultivation."
Zhang Yuan smiled dryly upon hearing this "Just tell me what pill you want and-"
Zhang Fumin placed her finger on his lips stopping him from uttering another word and spoke in a playful tone "Little brother, I told you already... I want to cultivate normally."
"No cheating..."
Zhang Yuan opened his lips biting her finger and she chuckled "Hahaha..."
"Then let's eat our lunch and leave..."
...
Zhang Yuan and Zhang Fumin were walking through the streets, attracting a lot of attention, all of their gazes fixated on the peerlessly handsome man.
Though already gotten used to this, Zhang Fumin couldn't help but roll her eyes "Mr.Hot news popular as always..."
Zhang Yuan just shrugged his shoulders and they quickly entered the pill shop in the Empire.
Seeing the hot man entering the store, some customers who were inside and the workers were taken aback.
"W-Woah... ahh..."
Both of them entered the shop to look around and Zhang Fumin began to select some materials from the shelf which would be needed to refine pills.
Looking at her, Zhang Yuan raised an eyebrow "You said, you were looking for a pill..."
With a nod, Zhang Fumin replied "Yeah... I need to buy a pill too. Since I have fire element, I thought that maybe I could train my alchemy by refining some pills."
Zhang Yuan just sighed in his heart and let her do her thing as she was not listening to him anymore.
"Ahh, I also need to buy a cauldron."
After some minutes of purchasing, Zhang Fumin and Zhang Yuan exited the shop as they continued their stroll in the capital.
"Yaaayyyy!!!"
At this time, hearing some noises, Zhang Fumin glanced to her left and looked at the small crowd in a nearby shop.
"Hoh? Seems like something interesting... Come on yuan."
She reached out and grabbed Zhang Yuan's hand, and she pulled him from there to the store.
Standing at the back of the crowd, Zhang Fumin raised her looking at the sky and saw the sky filled with colorful kites, that are gently swaying in the wind.
"Oh, seems like it is an archery competition."
Zhang Fumin nodded her head and Zhang Yuan glanced at her in the corner of his eyes "You want to participate?"
She shrugged dismissively "I don't know much about archery... if it was gauntlets, I would have smashed them to pieces."
Zhang Yuan couldn't contain his chuckle and grasped her wrist as he began to push away the crowd from his way.
Pushing the small crowd, Zhang Yuan and Zhang Fumin got to the front and saw the shopkeeper selling the tickets to enter and participate in the archery.
"You there, young man. you wanna try? The price to join is 10 silver coins."
"If you hit three kites continuously... we double the coins. How is the deal?"
"And another thing, you should not use profound energy... if you do, you will be immediately disqualified."
With a nod, Zhang Yuan gave 50 silver coins and entered the area to shoot the arrows.
"E-Eh? Yuan... I told you, I don't know about archery."
Smiling, Zhang Yuan replied "might as well try."
At this time, a young woman came with two bows and some arrows to them.
Taking the bow in her hand, Zhang Fumin smiled dryly "I am sure, I am going to embarrass myself in front of these people."
"And Yuan, you should not use your powers."
Zhang Yuan just smiled and took three arrows at once in between his fingers.
He raised the bow and pulled the string by placing the three arrows on the string. 8sleesh*
As he let go of the arrows, the three of them pierced through the air forming a blue streak in the sky, and hit three different kites.
"WHAAAA-"
The audience was dumbfounded to see Zhang Yuan casually hitting three kites and whatnot, he did them in one try with three arrows at once.
"It seems like along with looks, that brother also has skills..."
Zhang Fumin raised an eyebrow and she also took an aroow in her hand preparing to shoot the kite.
She pulled the arrow in the string and as she let go of it, it hurled from her bow and missed all of the kites.
Seeing this, she smiled dryly "Well, this is to be expected."
She took the next arrow and steadied her breath, focusing her sharp eyes on the kite up above in the sky.
"This time for sure..."
As she muttered, the arrow instantly slipped past from her fingers and its trajectory was right as it inched close to a red kite in the sky.
*woosh* However, as it reached close to the kite a sudden strong wind came shaking the kite and the arrow missed.
-_- Her lips twitched in frustration looking at this and she slowly turned her head to Zhang Yuan who was struggling to control his laugh.
"Yuan... just now, was it you... who created the wind?"
She didn't need his answer... just by looking at the playful smile on his face, she knew the answer.
"You damn bastard..."
She jumped at him, throwing fists at his chest...
"Hahahaha..." Laughing, Zhang Yuan received her feeble punches.
As she hit him, a smile appeared on her lips and she stopped her beating... instead hugged him.
