" Ugh…."

As Aunt Su slowly regained consciousness, she felt very slimy.

" Could it be…?" She suddenly froze as her thoughts were interrupted by the door opening widely. Her grip on the quilt hardened, and the breath she didn't know she was holding was released, as she watched Zhu Yin walk while holding a tray in her hands.

The glow of the sun made Zhu Yin's face radiant. Yet….

" I spent hours healing that wound." She scrunched up her face. Frowning, she walked forward, and placed the tray on Aunt Su's lap.

Aunt Su stared at the suspicious liquid in the bowl that released a strong herbal scent.

' How did she get this ?! ' If she remembered correctly they were so poor that they couldn't afford a live chicken!

How come she is staring at a medication that costs…probably golds?!!!

" You should drink it while it's still hot. "

Zhu Yin didn't bat an eye as she stared at her straight.

She knows what is running through Aunt Su's, by watching how her face changed with different expressions she couldn't quite understand for the past half second.

How come the Young lady who had been mentally ill since she was eight was looking at her normally?

Why does the young lady look so clean and prim, when she hasn't had a bath for three years now?

Why is the Young lady talking to her humanely?

Where did the Young lady get the medicine she was holding?

And most importantly! Why is she alive?!!!

After a while, contemplating her choices, Aunt Su stretched out her hand , picked up the bowl, and brought it to her lips, downing everything in one go.

The warm bitter liquid slid into her pharynx, down her throat, warming her insides slowly, until it descended into her stomach.

" Y-Young Miss…I-"

Zhu Yin unhurriedly wiped Aunt Su's lips clean with a white handkerchief and took the bowl and tray away.

As Zhu Yin turned around after placing them on the table, Aunt Su's eyes glistened.

" Young Miss! I am sorry!"

" I don't know what came over me , and why I did that to you. I - Ah!"The tears dropped from her eyes, her expression a mix of pain and profound apology.

She was truly sorry! Apart from her mother and grandfather, the closest person she had was Aunt Su.

Aunt Su had always been there since she could understand things. She had watched and protected her.

Despite her illness, Aunt Su had fought her way to bring her away from the clutches of all vicious beasts in human skins.

Yet not long, she started acting strangely. She basically became a different person!

" Foundation realm silver level tier 5… Hmmm… There's definitely something going on. I don't blame you."

Zhu Yin reached out and held Aunt Su's hands which were rough due to labor, a warm smile spread across her face.

Aunt Su was stunned, and couldn't help the smile . She really felt that the psychopathic and quiet Young Miss seemed to have transformed.

"Thank you." She whispered, her voice audible, and her eyes conveying the depth of her gratitude. She had really offended Zhu Yin, and she knew no matter how many times she apologized..,the guilt still remains.

She had promised to protect her no matter what happens….!

What Zhu Yin said was true.

Aunt Su is a martial artist at Foundation realm silver level tier 5, yet she couldn't take on a wolf at tier 2!

But when she was attacked, she couldn't do anything. It was like she forgot how to fight.

Otherwise, it would have been impossible for her to be seriously injured.

Zhu Yin smiled, " It was because of your beating that I am back to normal. I should be the one grateful to you. "

Thinking about it, that made a lot of sense. A poison that many physicians couldn't treat was cured by Aunt Su beating and depriving her of food.

"Grrrr…."

Aunt Su froze and looked to the side to see Ya Ling staring back at her.

Her eyes widened, and her face paled. How did she not notice something like this was in the room all along?!

" Young Miss…that…" She stammered as she gripped Zhu Yin's hands tightly.

" The one who actually saved you. " Zhu Yin smiled reassuringly, as she patted Aunt Su's hands.

Slowly, Aunt Su's grip loosened and Zhu Yin's hands became free.

Ya Ling moved closer, and Zhu Yin ruffled her fur affectionately. She was grateful!

Aunt Su stared at the show of affection with a blank gaze. How come a beast was this…docile?!

What's happening?!

What is going on?!

Is the Young Miss….?

Since it wasn't posing any threat…then…

" Aunt Su, your injury is almost healed. Rest well. We would talk later. "

Zhu Yin said as she tucked her back into the bed.

" Okay." As she lied down she became sleepy instantly.

As the door to her room clicked shut, Aunt Su sighed. The Young Miss has grown up! That was great!

Although she had a lot to ask , she knew it wasn't the right time.
