After chasing the white-clothed man away, Xue Fanxin was so tired that she sat on the ground panting and resting.
Fighting with a Martial Monarch Realm expert was indeed tiring. The reason she could defeat the white-clothed man was that he did not understand her and underestimated her. If they fought again, she would not be able to gain an advantage so easily.
“Master, it’s all our fault for being useless and not being able to help you,” the little white tiger said in shame.
The white cat also lowered her head in shame.
The white-clothed man was too powerful. They could not withstand the pressure emitted from his body at all, so they could not go up and help their master.
In the end, they were too weak.
Xue Fanxin hugged the two little fellows and stroked them gently. “We’re friends and family. Will you abandon your friends and family because they’re useless? Furthermore, I think you’re very useful. Everything has its value. Don’t belittle yourself anymore. In my opinion, you’re very, very good.”
“Master is the best master in the world.” The little white tiger rubbed its head against Xue Fanxin’s hand and begged for more affection.
The little white cat was the same. She liked Xue Fanxin as her master more and more.
Many people only regarded their contracted beasts as combat tools. When necessary, they could abandon them at will. Very few people would treat their contracted beasts as companions, friends, or family.
They were really lucky to have met such a good master.
Although their master was not strong yet, they knew that she would definitely be very, very strong in the future.
“Look at the two of you. Your mouths are as sweet as honey. It’s not early anymore. We have to go back. I’ve already arranged a time for treatment with Bai Wuchen. I have to go back and make preparations.” Xue Fanxin stored the little white tiger and the little white cat in the spirit beast space and went to Consort Dowager Jing’s grave to light the extinguished candle. She burned a few incense sticks before leaving.
Tomorrow was the day of Bai Wuchen’s treatment. She had to adjust her condition properly today.
The next morning, Bai Wuchen had already come to the Purple Cloud Tower to wait. The people who had accompanied him were the head of the Bai family and Bai Shuiling, who were also the only remaining members of the Bai family in the Imperial City.
The head of the Bai family handed over the consultation fee the moment he saw Xue Fanxin. He also paid the IOU Bai Shuiling had given him previously.
“Ninth Imperial Consort, this is the consultation fee and the amount for the IOU my daughter wrote back then. Please take a look.”
Xue Fanxin did not take the money. Instead, she returned it to the head of the Bai family and said with a playful smile, “I’m in a good mood today and I’m willing to treat Bai Wuchen for free. As for the IOU Bai Shuiling signed back then, just treat it as me making a friend.”
“How… how could that be?”
“If I said it’s okay, then it’s okay. Take this money. There will naturally be a use for it in the future. Bai Wuchen’s legs need quite a few precious herbs to help him be fully treated in the later stages. With your Bai family’s current situation, it might be very difficult to maintain the flow of herbs. I don’t want to work hard to treat his legs, but all my previous efforts will be wasted because you don’t have herbs for the later stages of treatment.”
“Since the Ninth Imperial Consort says so, I won’t reject you anymore.” How could the Bai family’s master not know that Xue Fanxin wanted to help their Bai family? Obviously he must remember this favor and gratitude in his heart.
Bai Shuiling also saw this and was very glad that she had not fallen out with Xue Fanxin back then, so she said sincerely, “Thank you!”
“I treat you as friends. If you’re friends, you don’t have to be polite to me. Alright, I’m going to start treating Bai Wuchen. During the treatment, I can’t be disturbed at all, so no matter what happens, you have to calm down. If you can’t calm down, wait outside.”
