AST 1888 - She was Princess Dongfang... (2/2)

The food in Imperial Cuisine Hall was all self-made. Logically speaking, they were supposed to have a chef working for them instead and that had actually been applied for a short period of time before. It eventually stopped because Qing Shui wasn’t used to it. Besides, the ingredients used to prepare the food also posed a problem. Though it was not to the extent that Qing Shui would add his own ingredients every day, they would still eat it at least twice every three days.

The woman stood up and bid them farewell not long after they finished their food.

From the beginning until the end, the woman had not once mentioned to get her illness treated. Qing Shui sent her off. He didn’t notice anything different about the woman. She seemed not to mind at all whether or not he would help her cure her illness.

“Alright, Brother Shui, you can stop here.” The woman turned around and calmly said to Qing Shui.

She knew Qing Shui’s name, but this was the first time she actually called him by his name. Qing Shui was a bit weirded out by it, but at the same time, he also felt a bit special. It was a seemingly reminiscent feeling that words couldn’t describe. Deep down, he always hoped for a person to call him that.

This wish came from a story in his previous incarnation. The story was made into a movie and Qing Shui really enjoyed it. The man and woman in the show might be enemies, but deep down, they loved each other. The ending turned out to be not that great. The woman would often call the man Brother Yin. It sounded great and felt unusually good as well.

Back then, Qing Shui really enjoyed the movie. The actors were also very professional. And now, the way the woman called him had left him a deep impression. In fact, he was also qualified to be called this way by now. It was even better than the movies back in his previous incarnation. The feeling of success made Qing Shui felt a bit moved.

“Brother Shui, what’s wrong?” The woman saw Qing Shui looking back at her without blinking his eyes. She trembled and called Qing Shui.

Qing Shui came back to his senses, then rubbed his nose and shook his head, “I didn’t promise you to help cure your illness. Have you ever thought of killing me?”

“A physician doesn’t have the obligation to help others cure their illness. Why would I blame you for it? Before this, I have even gotten to enjoy the most delicious meal of my life. In this sense, I can be considered to have one less regret in my life. I have to thank Brother Shui for this.”

The woman seemed to like calling him that way. She was also starting to sound more and more natural.

“You have even started to call me Brother Shui. If I still refuse to help you cure your illness, it will be a bit cruel on my side.” Qing Shui looked at the woman. She seemed to be smiling.

Actually, the woman wasn’t really younger than Qing Shui. Though Qing Shui could be considered as a middle-aged man in his previous incarnation, he was still a young man in this world. As to the woman calling him Brother Shui, it was just a way to address a friend.

“Unfortunately, I don’t have things which I can give you. As for my sincerity, I am even more clueless on how to give it to you.” The woman smiled and said.

“I have already sensed your sincerity. I can help to cure you without anything in return.” Qing Shui smiled and said.

“Really?” The woman looked at him in disbelief.

“Of course, there is no way I will lie to you. Let’s go to a clean place so I can help you cure your poison.” Qing Shui operated his Nine Continents Step.

This was a small island located at the Northern Ocean. It was surrounded by boundless ocean and had the size of about a few tens of square kilometers. The place was filled with mountains, rocks and waters and was covered in plants. Waves of sea breezes could be felt around here and even the air around was also filled with fragrance. This place had decent sceneries, once one climbed up the mountains, they would be able to see the sea.

There were numerous small islands on the Northern Ocean. Qing Shui’s island wasn’t close to the seaside, hence, not many people actually lived here. Qing Shui and the woman were both at the peak of the mountain. Under their feet were stones which looked as smooth as mirrors. They were washed up by sea wind and seawater.
