Upon hearing Kang Li’s words, Ah Xiang pursed her lips tightly without speaking.
"And, you just took away like this, did you ever think about what would happen if my family couldn’t find ?"
"We’re just following the master’s orders." As she spoke, Ah Xiang looked at Kang Li for a mont and asked, "Little Miss, would you like to take a bath first?"
Reminded by Ah Lan, Kang Li imdiately caught a whiff of a stench and lowered her eyes to see a thin film of black-gray covering her exposed skin, glistening with an oily sheen.
Furrowing her brows, before Kang Li could feel disgusted with her own appearance, she heard Dwen Dwen’s voice in her mind: "Don’t be afraid, little sister. That layer of gri on you is the impurities accumulated in your body over the years. Because you took the body strengthening pill, these impurities were expelled through your pores."
Kang Li ignored Dwen Dwen and said to Ah Xiang, "I’m going to take a bath."
"This is what the master instructed Aunt Fu to prepare for the little miss before we set off." Ah Lan placed the stack of clothes gently on the bed and said, "The little miss just woke up and must be feeling uncomfortable. Let Ah Xiang assist you with your bath."
"No need."
Kang Li waved her hand and said, "Prepare so food for . I’ll call you if I need anything later." With that, Kang Li picked a set of underwear and a dress from the stack of clothes and quickly entered the bathroom.
It’s not about being careless, but Kang Li really couldn’t stand being all dirty and grimy.
Moreover, with Dwen Dwen promising to guard the room and saying no outsiders would barge in, it wasn’t making baseless claims.
After about half an hour, Kang Li ca out of the bathroom feeling refreshed and much lighter, as if a burden had been lifted off her shoulders.
"Did you notice any changes in yourself, little sister?"
Dwen Dwen whirled around happily.
"Notice what?"
Kang Li was puzzled.
"Your skin is whiter and more delicate than before!" Dwen Dwen, being a huge admirer of looks, always liked Kang Li’s "heavenly beauty." Seeing her after taking the body strengthening pill and bathing, looking even more radiant, made it overjoyed.
"It’s just a shell!"
Kang Li was indifferent and even took the opportunity to bla Dwen Dwen: "You didn’t tell it would be so slly, you know? I nearly got fed up with myself."
"Being stinky for a while to have a healthy body, isn’t it worth it?"
Dwen Dwen felt a bit aggrieved.
Kang Li’s eyebrow twitched: "It’s worth it, absolutely worth it." It sounded like coaxing a child.
Dwen Dwen imdiately bead with joy.
"I wonder what my family is up to now." Kang Li murmured as she walked out the door, and the sea breeze blew her soft hair and skirt, fluttering them gently.
"I can’t help with that, little sister."
Dwen Dwen hung its head, being a simple system for living and childcare, it couldn’t perform special operations.
"Don’t bla yourself." Kang Li comforted, "You helped a lot by giving that pill on credit." If she were still seasick, given her health condition, the baby in her womb would most likely not survive.
After all, reaching the sa destination by ship would take much longer than by plane. In other words, she might be stuck on this freighter for a while.
North City.
Courtyard.
"Ruirui, your mom went to visit your dad yesterday and didn’t co back, nor did she call ho. It’s already late afternoon today, and there’s still no sign of her?"
Cai Xiufen lanted to Min Rui while sitting on the sofa, "Should we call your dad and ask?"
