“Can’t you see Deity’s beauty? She is most beautiful like a celestial being; is it wrong for me to call her Deity?” Cannonball, despite shivering in fear, needed to answer his new Master.
“You’re right,” Chatty finally returned his focus to his herbal bath, the painful process causing him to grit his teeth but knowing it was worth it. “But next time, Cannonball, let’s work on keeping the commentary to a minimum.”
“Noted, Master,” Cannonball replied, still shaking.
The baths lasted for an hour, and by the end, the family emerged feeling rejuvenated and empowered. Their bodies felt lighter, their minds clearer, and their Qi stronger, as if they had been reborn.
Ling Li smiled with satisfaction, her heart brimming with pride. "You've all done well," she said, her voice filled with warmth and encouragement. "Continue this routine, and you'll see remarkable improvements in your cultivation in no time."
The family members exchanged relieved smiles and words of encouragement.
