Chapter 2 - Handsome Iceberg-like Man (2/2)
Since she recovered, Ming WuYan didn’t want to return to her broken-down house and her drunkard father. So she would stay in Doctor Jing’s small medical clinic: one, to rest and second, to help and lend him a hand.
Doctor Jing was more than sixty years old. His body was still healthy. The clinic was located near the poor, so he didn’t make much money, barely able to make ends meet. Ming WuYan prepared medicine and fetched and cleaned. Although Doctor Jing didn’t pay her, he fed and clothed her. And if she was sick, he would carefully take care of her, never charging her a fee.
As Ming WuYan was doing these things, she studied the jade bangle on her wrist in her spare time.
This jade bangle was ugly and the jade was clearly inferior. The surface of the bangle was also chipped, missing a piece of jade. However, once her mind wished it, she would immediately enter that mysterious place, with ten ponds the same size, with different colors.
After analyzing, Ming WuYan concluded that this was probably the legendary space. From the recovery of her injuries, these ten ponds should be medicinal baths. But each pond’s specific functions had yet to be studied.
That evening, a man in black robes wearing a black mask came in, with two just-born bloody lion cubs in his arms. He had not spoken when the air became stagnate. It was still springtime in March. To the Ming WuYan, who stood behind the counter, the bone-chilling cold felt as if an iceberg just walked into the clinic.
The black robed man was unaware of others’ discomfort and slowly asked, “Do you have Tianshan Snow Lotus?”
His voice was as cold as frozen mountains. Doctor Jing froze and shook his head, “No.”
The Iceberg wrinkled his brows. “What about Hundred-year-old Ginseng?”
Doctor Jing still shook his head, “No.”
The Iceberg’s voice got colder, “Why do you have nothing?”
Doctor Jing apologetically said, “This area is humble. We don’t have many precious herbs.” He glanced towards the Iceberg’s arms. The two little lions were just born and their bodies were also stuck together: a rare Siamese body. The lions were already very weak and lives were in danger so he added “You can give them a drink of warm water and milk.”
The Iceberg hesitated, “The water is fine, but the lioness mother had no milk.”
“Please wait.” Doctor Jing went to fetch the water.
Ming WuYan slipped out from the counter and looked at the Iceberg in front of her. She had never seen such a tall, handsome man. The black robes and mask showed off his perfect body proportions, with an appealing coolness.
Her gaze was then drawn to his bosom. On curious tiptoes she saw the small lion cubs. Compared to the lions born in modern times, they were more the size of cats. She could not help muttering, “Those pitiful tiny things!”
The Iceberg glanced at Ming WuYan. His body stiffened. Thunder and lightning flashed in his mind. His eyes flashed with disbelief.
He immediately shook his head and did not believe that such an unbelievable scene would come to his own mind
The bridal chamber, he actually saw himself with this girl in the bridal chamber…
