After a few days in the hospital, Xiao Tian was finally home. Thanks to Yun Youyan, who had completely healed him, he looked far healthier than someone who had just been discharged. He couldn't let anyone know about this, especially not the hospital or Grandma—otherwise, they would start getting suspicious.
He had not told anyone about the 'Chaos Necklace' to anyone yet. If he tells then he might be in big trouble. He is too weak currently, so he cannot tell anyone about it. From time to time, the icy beauty Su Han would stop by the hospital to check on him.
He would always show her a light, warm smile whenever she saw him, like she started to cry. He gently wipes her tears and makes her calm down.
Nearly a week has passed since the incident. All he did was rest in bed and did not go to school.
The sun was burning outside. Kolkata City had a very small beach at the outskirts of the city. The beach is slightly famous for its romantic spot. During the evening, there is a slight cool sea breeze, which is very refreshing.
But during the day, there is scorching heat which could melt down anything. Not even a fly dares to fly around.
But at this time, a boy could be seen running on the shore. His moments were sluggish. He was drenched in sweat. His face is slightly pale.
He wasn't particularly handsome, but he had a pleasant face. His body was slightly built, with sleek, shining black hair that added to his quiet charm. A few bandages were still wrapped around his left shoulder, a reminder of his recent accident.
"ha! Ha!" The boy was running with his full power, but his moments were sluggish. He was 'Xiao Tian'. In order to start martial arts cultivation, one must have a proper warm-up first. But Xiao Tian's' body was very badly built. It's even weaker than a normal human. So he must train his body first.
"Master… is it over?" he asked softly.
"If you give up this easily, how are you ever going to become strong?" came the scolding voice of a small, flying puppy wagging its tail beside him.
"Yes, Master," he replied obediently. He didn't dare talk back to this dog.
He had already made up his mind to become stronger—so he had to endure it, no matter what.
…
…
After roughly 2 hours
He finally stopped. He was very exhausted.
"You fell down just from this?" 'Yun Youyan' laughed in her puppy form.
"… " 'Xiao Tian' was speechless. If he were a normal human, he wouldn't have been able to last till now. But he lasted. It was already a great accomplishment.
"You'd better gather the medical ingredients quickly! Your body constitution is terrible!" Yun Youyan—'Yun'—snapped before vanishing into thin air.
At the mention of medical ingredients, his face darkened slightly.He was flat-out broke. A poor bimbo like him—how was he supposed to afford something like that now?
He quietly went home. He did not tell his grandma about it. Or she will be worried. But what he does not know is that his grandma knows it all.
He took a nice bath and changed into a nice set of clothes. He made a small lunch and ate with his granny.
During the evening, he went to ask his grandma for some money, and he also searched for his savings. He got around 500rs from his grandma, and he had roughly saved 1000 rs during his lifetime. They were not very much, but he had some hope that it could at least be a little helpful. He took the money and went out. Something is better than nothing.
'Xiao Tian' went towards the general common market area. This place is comprised of both rich and poor. He knew that the medicine ingredients his master suggested were not normal. So he had to come to a better place. He first went to some normal drug stores but did not find it.
They had not even heard of it.
But soon he got some info that they are only available at some ancient medicine stores. So he went to that stores. He after some searching he found but that store had only some of the materials. But the main thing is he was astounded by the price. It costs 10's of Hundreds just for one ingredient. It was damn costly.
He dejectedly came out. He had far less money. He could not even buy a single material.
He was walking on the street gloomily
But suddenly,
"puff!" 'Yun' showed in front of him in her puppy form.
"Got a way for money! Let's save someone!" he didn't even have the chance to speak, and he was dragged by his master.
