Then he gently touched Liu Bengzi's shoulder, placed his palm on his shoulder, and slowly channeled his magic power into Liu Bengzi's body. In an instant, his strength was restored to normal.

"Thank you, Master!"

He was truly flattered; he had the honor of having His Majesty restore his strength.

"Everyone go back."

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief; it seemed Ling Yue was truly alright.

After saying goodbye to Jing Yucheng, Su Shiming and Chu Ping each returned to their rooms to rest, each lost in their own thoughts.

Liu Baozi had recovered his strength and tidied himself up a bit before leaving as well.

Only Jing Yucheng, Ling Yue, and Duo Wei remained in the bedroom.

Jing Yucheng then realized that the culprit was still right in front of him, but he had no time to worry about that now.

"Why don't you get out of here?"

Duowei was stunned for a moment. She had already made a plan in her mind. As long as her life wasn't taken, she was fine. After waiting for so long, all she got was to get lost?

Without thinking twice, she walked straight out of the bedroom.

Jing Yucheng didn't want to take such drastic measures mainly because of Ling Yue. She was quite curious about the little fox, and even if the fox had discovered something through secret techniques, he doubted she would dare to say anything. Besides, he had just learned that the fox had probably only seen some images and didn't know what they were.

As for what happened after she returned to the Qingqiu Fox Clan, he thought that Huo Xiangyang probably wouldn't let her off easily.

Ling Yue didn't wake up until the next morning. Jing Yucheng stayed by her bedside the whole night.

When she woke up, she found herself lying in a hotel room, where Jing Yucheng was holding her hand. "Jing Yucheng, what happened to me?"

Jing Yucheng was a little stunned when he heard Ling Yue's hoarse voice after she woke up. It wasn't until Ling Yue called him again that he realized this wasn't a dream. He smiled and replied, "You still have to talk about it. Why didn't you say you had a fever?"

What does that mean? Did she already have a fever while she was in the car?

She really didn't feel anything at all...

"How is Grandpa Cheng doing?"

"How are his sons doing with their search for a nursing home?"

Jing Yucheng really wanted to pry open her little head to see what was inside that made her still have the mind to worry about other people's affairs.

"Don't worry, with Xiaoming and Master Chu here, things have definitely been resolved smoothly."

"You need to get better quickly and recover, understand?"

Seeing Jing Yucheng's worried expression, Ling Yue nodded subconsciously. She needed to confirm with Grandpa Cheng how the nursing home was doing and whether it could provide him with a better quality of life in his later years.

So she decided to stay here for a few more days. She remembered that she had to video chat with her parents and Xiaoyi every day. She hadn't been able to video chat with them because of her fever, and she didn't know how worried they were!

"Jing Yucheng, have my parents called me?"

Jing Yucheng then took Ling Yue's phone from the bedside table. "Don't worry, I answered the phone. They don't know you're sick. I just said you've been too tired lately and fell asleep."

Ling Yue: ……

Brother, isn't saying it like that more likely to cause misunderstandings?

But it doesn't matter anyway, because in her parents' eyes, Jing Yucheng is already their son-in-law.

Ling Guofu had been nagging him about this countless times, and even boasted that he wanted Jing Yucheng to give his daughter a grand wedding.

Ling Yue thought to herself that he really dared to say that. She was rather socially awkward and hated all these formalities. Whether there was a wedding or not was irrelevant to her. What mattered was that the two of them could get along comfortably.

Jing Yucheng was now very afraid of Ling Yue's blank stare, because he knew she was definitely thinking about something.

"Should we call them back now?"

Ling Yue picked up her phone and glanced at the time. It was peak time, and everyone was very busy.

"Forget it, I'll just video chat with them tonight."

After Ling Yue finished speaking, she tried to sit up, but she felt weak and limp.

"Jing Yucheng, thank you."

Thank you for taking care of me tirelessly when I was sick.

Jing Yucheng patted her head and said with a smile, "Silly girl, isn't taking care of you what I should do?"

"Don't worry, if you get sick in the future, I will definitely take care of you without leaving your side!"

"Oh, pshaw, pshaw, it should be wishing you never get sick, hehe."

Ling Yue then sent messages to Su Shiming and Chu Ping, apologizing for having to postpone her work schedule due to her fever.

When Ling Yue said she had a fever, neither of them said anything more. They just followed her advice, telling her to take good care of herself and not to think too much. They were a team, and they should help each other at work.

Ling Yue said she would treat them to a big meal tonight, as they had worked hard.

It's amazing how she became full of energy after just one lunch prepared by Jing Yucheng!

"Jing Yucheng, tell me the truth, did you put some kind of super tonic pill in my food?"

"I feel incredibly strong and as powerful as an ox!"

Jing Yucheng saw that she looked very happy, and when she spoke, her mouth was wide open, and her two dimples made her look even more cute and radiant.

At this moment, anything he does would be worthwhile.

I originally planned to take at least a day or two to recover, but I recovered so quickly. I really have to thank Jing Yucheng for this.

She first made an appointment with Chu Ping and Su Shiming to meet Grandpa Cheng.

His five sons are really good at taking action; they've already found a very nice nursing home.

Ling Yue and her group of four went over to take a look in the afternoon and thought it was really nice. They had walked around for a long time and had checked almost every bathroom and shower room on every floor. There was nothing unusual. The landscaping here was excellent. It was definitely a natural oxygen bar.

Ling Yue was sitting on a bench on the first floor, stretching comfortably.

He exclaimed repeatedly, "Comrades, don't you think we've already accomplished our mission?"

"I originally planned to be able to go back in three days at the earliest. If everything goes so smoothly, we can help Grandpa Cheng move and get his family settled in tomorrow, and then we can head home!"

Chu Ping immediately poured cold water on her enthusiasm, saying, "Don't get too excited yet. Fun things usually appear at night."

Su Shiming became interested upon hearing this, "Oh, Master Chu really knows a lot!"

"Looks like I'll be learning something new tonight!"

"I thought last night was the most insightful thing I'd ever learned in my life!"

Su Shiming, who was grinning from ear to ear, accidentally made eye contact with Jing Yucheng and immediately shut his mouth.

Good heavens, this guy's face is really scary. He was all smiles when Ling Yue was speaking just now...

Ling Yue sighed inwardly, "What was that saying again?"

"Among three people walking together, there must be one who can teach me." It was indeed a wise move for her to find three people to carry out the mission.

The group agreed to come again that evening.

"Hey, sister-in-law, is this roadside barbecue stall the 'feast' you're talking about?"

And this is only a few tables in size...

"What do you know? The real delicacies are hidden in these alleyways and back alleys."

"As outsiders, we definitely need to do some research on the local forums. This is a decision I made after doing my research."

"Hurry up, stop dawdling, just pick what you like, anything you want!"

Su Shiming: ...

Since he was already there, he decided to make the best of it and ordered whatever was expensive, but even the most expensive item wasn't that pricey...

Jing Yucheng and Chu Ping were relatively calm. People who have experienced many ups and downs are different. They just kept their heads down wiping the table and chairs.

Ling Yue chose this roadside stall for a reason: it's very close to the nursing home that Grandpa Cheng's sons chose for him.

Firstly, they can check out the surrounding area, and secondly, they can enjoy a barbecue here without rushing.

They had just ordered their food and were about to start eating when they heard a man at the next table arguing about something, and it looked like they were about to fight.

“I’ve told you so many times to tell Mr. Chen not to stay in this nursing home. I’m willing to pay to move him to a better one.”

"You think you have a few stinking bucks? What are you showing off for?"

“This is the best nursing home in Lin City. Second brother, it’s not a problem with the nursing home, I just have a feeling that there’s something fishy about this.”

"No, third brother, we're all veterans, how could we be involved in feudal superstitions?"

The person called "Third Brother" blushed deeply, unsure whether it was from the alcohol or from feeling embarrassed.
