Chapter 34: Hundred-Year-Old Ginseng

Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

The next morning, somewhere deep within the Famous Mountain.

“Squeak squeak!”

Qin Yiling only slept lightly throughout the whole of last night, because she was worried that Yan Ze would get a fever in the middle of the night, so she had reached out to check on him from time to time.

At this moment, she had been resting with her eyes closed. When she heard the little monkey’s voice, she opened her eyes sleepily. When she saw what was in its hands, she instantly perked up, her eyes twinkling brightly.

“Little Monkey, where did you get this?”

It was ginseng!

Judging by its ‘head’, this was definitely a hundred-year-old ginseng!

Jackpot!

Qin Yiling took the ginseng happily, looking at its roots and counting its leaves.

“Heavens, this is a two-hundred-year-old ginseng!!”

Seeing how delighted she was, the little monkey also jumped around joyfully.

“Squeak squeak!”

It was indeed the smartest monkey throughout the entire area of the deep mountains; it just knew that the Little Fairy Lady would like this.

Qin Yiling praised the little monkey again.

“Little Monkey, you’re the best! You’re so impressive, I can’t believe you found such a precious item. What a cute and clever monkey you are.”

“Squeak squeak” The little monkey, who had just received a wave of over-the-top praise, happily spun around in circles.

Qin Yiling tried to hold back her laughter. She had never seen a monkey who loved to be praised this much before–how fascinating.

However, this little monkey was truly thoughtful. Knowing that Yan Ze was injured, it specially acquired a hundred-year-old ginseng from the remote mountains for him.

She had checked Yan Ze’s body last night. His injuries were mostly external, and she couldn’t detect anything else for the time being. His ribs might have been injured when he tumbled down the cliff, but she was not a doctor and there was no medical equipment here, so his internal condition was still unclear.

Nevertheless, it was unlikely that he had any injuries of the heart, liver, spleen, lungs, and kidneys, so he wasn’t in such a critical condition and didn’t need to take the ginseng urgently to prolong his life.

Though if she had not stopped the bleeding in time and applied medicine to his wounds, the consequences might have been much worse.

From the current looks of it, his most serious injury was on his left waist–a wound that looked like it was caused by an arrow. After applying the medicine last night, she even tore a shirt apart and used it as a makeshift bandage for his wound.

Secondly, there were three scratches on his chest, which were probably caused by the bear’s claws. Thankfully, they weren’t very deep, or he would have lost a piece of flesh.

Still, she could boil soup with a few ginseng pieces to nourish his body when he was recuperating later. Ginseng was extremely rich in nutrients but it shouldn’t be consumed excessively, or it would cause counterproductive effects instead.

Qin Yiling marveled over it for a while, then carefully wrapped it with her handkerchief and placed it in her suitcase.

Although the Lin Hai Village where she had lived was also beside a large mountain, it was extremely rare to find a hundred-year-old ginseng.

Yan Ze, who was lying on the withered grass, gradually regained consciousness, his eyeballs shifting in its sockets.

Was he alive?

What was that sound? It sounded so familiar.

He seemed to remember having a dream in his semi-conscious state, where Duo Duo had returned to look for him, and had even talked to him.

Right at this moment, a familiar voice spoke again.

“Little Monkey, are there any small paths nearby that lead out?”

Upon hearing this, Yan Ze’s heart skipped a beat and his eyes opened wide abruptly.

That voice? It sounded like the voice he had heard in his dream, who had said that she was Duo Duo!

So that wasn’t a dream and everything was real.

“Duo Duo…” In excitement, Yan Ze shouted loudly. His gaze was fixed on the beautiful silhouette, whose back was facing him.

Qin Yiling was talking to the little monkey when she heard someone calling out from behind. Overjoyed, she immediately turned around and was met with a pair of deep, passionate eyes.

“Oh, you’re awake? How are you feeling now?”
