The Talented Doctor 34 Short On Money And Food

"This is a rainbow plant and has a total of thirteen cylindrical leaves. It will produce a leaf every century, and the leaves would produce a fragrant smell that can attract beasts up to the eighth grade. It can help demons proliferate. Eggy loves to eat this, but it's too young and has no taste at all."

This fellow really talked about eating in every sentence.

He Xi was amused by Eggy's love for food and could not help but to poke the eggsh.e.l.l and tease, "I can't believe my Eggy is so capable and knows such unique plants. You can even talk so much about it."

"Of course!" Eggy's voice was filled with pride and affection. "Mother, Eggy is very useful. Eggy knows all the plants in the world so I'll definitely be able to help Mother in the future."

He Xi did not doubt its words, but in her heart, she did not really believe that an egg that had not left the s.p.a.ce would know all the spiritual plants. It must have spent a lot of time with Elder Meru and heard him talk about the things outside so it had more knowledge.

However, she still caressed the egg and praised it until the surrounding golden light kept bouncing, and the giggles were joyous and youthful.

"Eggy, can you see the outside things from the s.p.a.ce?"

"Not yet!" Eggy said dejectedly, "But I can when I go out in the future. So, Mother, you must release Eggy as soon as possible. Eggy wants to be with Mother every single second and moment."

When He Xi thought about the bunch of Dharma treasures and Yuan Jing it ate and Eggy's 'not even full', the back of her head started throbbing again.

How much spiritual influence did she have to waste to break the fellow out? Now, she was very poor; how could she have any Dharma treasure for it to break out from its sh.e.l.l?

Somehow, she felt that the road to raising the fellow was long and slow.

…

To allow herself to adjust to the new body, He Xi trained in the yard (actually the s.p.a.ce) for two days.

Under the nourishment of the fountain water, the injuries on her body had mostly recovered. As the wounds that acc.u.mulated for a long time were hard to heal in a short time, she could still see the different wounds messily lying around when she rolled up her sleeve.

On the third morning, Wet Nurse Chen had a face of worry when she came to deliver breakfast to He Xi. After much questioning, Wet Nurse Chen stuttered, "We're running out of food in the house. Previously, Butler Lee and the rest took all our Yuan Jings to suck up to the butler at the Nalan Residence. Now, I can't even find a single Yuan Jing. If we don't come up with a way soon, everyone in the house will die from hunger."

In the house, all the few powerful warriors were killed by He Xi; and the ones that could be controlled were controlled. Other than these warriors, there were still a few handymen and maids in the house.

Their status was low and did not bully Nalan Hexi like Butler Lee and the rest. However, if they were short on food, one day; they would become violent.

Seeing Nalan Hexi furrowing her brows, Wet Nurse Chen hurriedly comforted, "Missy, don't worry. I'll go beg Old Master and Madam at the Nalan Residence today. No matter what, you are the daughter of the Nalan family and Old Master's biological daughter. He definitely won't watch you starve to death."

"No need!" He Xi sneered. "If he really treated Nalan Hexi as his daughter, he would not have deserted me for so many years and not care about me. He did not even know that his daughter was sold to Tao Tie Pavilion. What kind of father is he?"
