"Yueyue! Yueyue!"
Bai iyue frowned when she heard soone calling her worriedly. She scrunched up her eyes before opening them. At first, she didn't understand what was going on because by the ti she realised where she was, Bai iyue felt like her heart was going to stop.
"What—what happened?" She tried to sit up straight. But she was pushed down by Bai Zhan, who turned to look at the door of her room. She then heard him say, "Doctor Shen, Yueyue is awake!"
He then turned to look at her and said, "You stay here and don't go anywhere."
After he finished speaking, he rushed out of the room without telling Bai iyue what was going on. She, on the other hand, raised her hand and rubbed her temples. For so reason, Bai iyue felt like she had been gone from her world for years and years. But when she raised her hand and pressed it down on her abdon, she realised that her son was still in her womb.
Bai iyue heaved a sigh of relief.
When she was dreaming, she was going through one dinsion to another with an old immortal who taught her everything about dicines and poisons. Bai iyue had no idea how it happened or what was going on with her, but all of a sudden, she felt a bit wiser and steadier.
The sound of footsteps echoed outside her room, and a second later, her mother ca rushing inside with her second brother.
"Yueyue! Oh, thank goodness!" Mother Bai threw herself into Bai iyue's arms and hugged her tightly. These days, she felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest. Fortunately for her, her daughter woke up, or else she was worried that she would end up going crazy.
Bai iyue, who was hugged by her mother for no reason, couldn't help but frown when she saw her mother hugging her as if she had just returned from a burning building. Patting her mother on the back, Bai iyue couldn't help but chuckle, "Mom, why are you worried? Didn't you see just last night?"
"What do you even know, you silly girl?" Mother Bai smacked Bai iyue on the back of her head when she saw her chuckling. She said to her, "Do you even know that you have been unconscious for three days?"
"What!?" Bai iyue raised her head in surprise. She asked in a hurry, "Mom, are you joking with ?" She thought that her mother was teasing her because she woke up late, but her question only made her mother roll her eyes at her and say,
"Do you think I will joke about sothing so serious with you?"
She then said to Bai iyue, "Do you have any idea what your brothers and I went through when we saw you unconscious without responding? Out of our minds with worry! And yet you have the nerve to laugh at us?"
Mother Bai wanted to smack Bai iyue once again but was stopped by Bai Zhan, who held her hand and said to Mother Bai, "Mom, Yueyue just woke up. It's not like she did it because she wanted to; calm down and let her gather her bearings at least."
As soon as he finished speaking, Mother Bai burst into tears and yelled, "Do I want to scold her? She is the one who doesn't even take care of herself. Just look at this: how many tis did I tell her to not go out of the house and take so break and yet she goes out every day?"
"Running here and there. See? Didn't it take a toll on her?"
Seeing her mother cry like this, Bai iyue felt even more guilty. She said to her mother, "Mom, it is not because I was tired. It's because I awakened a new skill."
Since she could not tell her mother about the barter system, Bai iyue could only make a random lie. What if her mother started worrying about the barter system, thinking it was so kind of gimmick that would hurt her?
"Skill?" Between her sobs, Mother Bai turned to look at her daughter. "What do you an by 'skills?"
"It's a new skill." Bai iyue licked her lips as she continued to smooth them for the lies that she was going to tell. "I awakened a traditional dicine skill. That's why it took so long to wake up."
"You awakened as a traditional dicine practitioner?" Shen Zhen, who entered the room, questioned in surprise. She glanced at Bai iyue and walked over to the edge of the bed, where she took her wrist and examined Bai iyue carefully.
Once she was done examining her, she couldn't help but test Bai iyue. "Can you tell what you want at the mont?"
"So salt and sugar water; other than that, I am fine." Bai iyue's eyes widened when she realised what she had just said. She raised her head to confirm whether what she said was right or not, only to see Shen Zhen smile at her. She said to her, "It seems like we really underestimated the ability users. To think you can even awaken as a traditional dicine practitioner."
Bai iyue was even more surprised to hear that her response was correct. In fact, she was so surprised that she didn't even snap out of her daze even when she was done with her breakfast.
"Boss!"
Bai iyue raised her head and turned to look at Xiao Wu, who was waving at her. She blinked her eyes to make sure that she was not hallucinating and then said to him, "Xiao Wu, you are finally here?"
Xiao Wu grinned at her and nodded. "Brother Jixuan ca to a few days ago and told that he wanted and my boys to follow him."
What Xiao Wu didn't tell Bai iyue was that he and his boys were having a hard ti dealing with the sudden changes in the world; thus, Bai Jixuan's invitation was nothing but a heaven-sent opportunity for them to survive in these tragic situations.
