Chapter 990: Chapter 990: A Mother’s Worry for Her Child’s Thousand-Mile Journey! Chapter 990: Chapter 990: A Mother’s Worry for Her Child’s Thousand-Mile Journey! “The identity of this Doctor Strange, I have had people investigate it thoroughly. He is said to come from Shenlong Valley, a divine doctor. The exact location of Shenlong Valley remains undetermined, and the disciples from Shenlong Valley rarely wander in the common society, which, coupled with their prodigious medical skills—including the ability to heal the living dead and mend white bones—renders them a fragrant steamed bun that everyone scrambles for once they appear. Judging from the way their group cures diseases and saves people, it doesn’t seem like a deceit.”
As if one could fake anything else, could medical skills be faked too?
Even if they are not from Shenlong Valley, just with those medical skills alone, they can roam all over the world with impunity.
Di Yelei also pondered for a moment, slightly propping himself up, his gaze on Niuniu was filled with seriousness.
“Niuniu, have you thought it through clearly, do you really want to learn medicine? It isn’t a momentary impulse, is it?”
Given the status of Princess Liu Sisi and Lord Marquis, Niuniu, as their daughter, needs only to grow up happily, and then naturally a splendid life awaits her. To use a phrase unfamiliar to Di Yelei, she was born with a golden spoon in her mouth, never having to worry about food or drink in her lifetime.
Yet Niuniu chose to follow the Doctor Strange to learn medicine, truly embodying the old saying ‘a newborn calf is not afraid of tigers’!
Chou Chou beside her was anxious as well; he had been inseparable from Niuniu since their birth. Now that Niuniu had suddenly made this decision, he was actually the most nervous of all.
He hurriedly stepped forward, grabbing Niuniu’s hand and shaking it nonstop, “Niuniu… no, Second Sister! Second Sister, don’t learn medicine. Stay and keep Chou Chou company, will you? Will you, please, Second Sister! Second Sister…”
Niuniu turned her head towards Chou Chou, then looked at her parents waiting for an answer, and finally, biting her lip, she gave Chou Chou an apologetic look.
“Third Brother, this is Second Sister’s dream, Second Sister wants to achieve her own ideal. When Second Sister returns after learning, no one will be able to poison our family, no one will be able to harm us anymore! Third Brother, you must stay by Dad and Mom’s side in the future, you must behave well, and listen to them, understand?”
“Second Sister—sob sob sob…”
Chou Chou, like an abandoned child, could not help but open his mouth and burst into loud crying.
“Don’t cry, Chou Chou, don’t cry, be good Chou Chou…”
Niuniu too couldn’t hold back her tears, but the determination in her eyes grew even more resolute.
This child, oh!
Her temperament is just like Sisi’s, seemingly gentle as water on the surface, but once she has made up her mind, she cannot be pulled back even by eight horses.
Di Yelei nodded, feeling extraordinarily moved, “Well then! Since you have decided, go ahead. However, if you are going, you must first pay attention to your safety. Do you understand?”
A smile appeared on Niuniu’s face, her eyes shining like the stars in the sky.
“Niuniu thanks Dad for granting permission.”
That night, Liu Sisi, not at ease with Niuniu, stayed with her. She gave Niuniu a crash course on safety education and things to be mindful of when traveling, until she was hoarse from speaking, and the candle flame in the room stayed lit all night long.
In the beginning, Niuniu listened carefully, but as the night wore on, she grew exhausted and repeatedly nodded off until she finally fell into a deep sleep.
Only then did Liu Sisi have no choice but to stop lecturing and carefully tucked in the quilt around Niuniu, sighed, and thought to herself, indeed, when children travel a thousand miles, mothers worry!
Early the next morning, Liu Sisi woke up early, personally took up the comb, and started dressing and making up Niuniu meticulously.
And Chou Chou, who usually liked to sleep in, also got up early, clinging to Niuniu’s hand and refusing to let go.
Soon, Di Xuan and Di Ying arrived, Di Hongyuan came over, and Di Cheng and his wife brought their children as well.
The family gathered to have breakfast together, everyone holding their bowls but none of them touched the chopsticks. Instead, Niuniu’s bowl was filled to the brim by Liu Sisi with vegetables, leaving no space to even pick up the chopsticks.
As the sun rose high, Liu Sisi finally led Niuniu out the door under everyone’s reluctant gazes.
“Second Sister, wu wu wu… Second Sister, don’t go! I won’t compete with you again. Wu wu…”
Chou Chou cried uncontrollably.
“Third Brother, you have to be good, don’t get into trouble again, okay? Goodbye, Third Brother!”
Although Niuniu had decided early on, when it came time to leave, she couldn’t help but cry her heart out.
By the time the two had left the hostel, it was almost noontime.
Halfway down the road, Liu Sisi stopped in her tracks and looked down at her daughter, both of their eyes red-rimmed.
“Niuniu, can you… ”
“I can’t! Mom, Niuniu wants to study, Niuniu must learn medicine! Mom, please let me.”
Niuniu was exceptionally determined.
Liu Sisi, feeling helpless, had no choice but to take her there.
Just as they approached the street corner, they saw from afar a tall figure standing with his hands behind his back on the stone bridge. Dressed in the luxurious attire of white fox fur that trailed behind him, when he turned his head to look at them, the stunningly beautiful scene dazzled their eyes.
Niuniu struggled to break free from Liu Sisi’s grasp and ran joyfully towards the figure.
“Ye Feng! Ye Feng, I’m here! I kept my promise to you, and you must not break yours!”
Niuniu smiled, her eyes curving into crescent moons.
A look of indulgence flashed in Young Master Wuxin’s eyes as he watched Niuniu approach, raised his hand, and ruffled her meticulously combed hair, leaving it in a disheveled mess.
“Fine! I keep my word and never go back on it.”
“Ye Feng is so naughty, always messing up Niuniu’s hair, hate it!”
Niuniu rolled her eyes in annoyance and pouted her little mouth.
Young Master Wuxin chuckled good-naturedly, taking Niuniu’s hand very naturally, his demon-like charm immediately evident as he turned his head to look in Liu Sisi’s direction.
Since the moment Niuniu ran over, Liu Sisi’s eyebrows had been tightly furrowed, especially when she saw that radiant smile on her daughter’s face, her regret deepened even more.
In the past, she guarded against everything, hoping to cram all sorts of knowledge into Niuniu’s little head, but she forgot to warn her that one should never be infatuated with a charming man, for it could lead to an abyss of irretrievable downfall.
Looking up at Young Master Wuxin, who was clearly in his early twenties, then down at her daughter, whose face was full of naive innocence, she could only comfort herself incessantly that she was overthinking everything!
“Niuniu, come here quickly!”
Liu Sisi hurriedly walked a few quick steps to Niuniu and gently called her daughter.
Niuniu, on the other hand, clung even tighter to Young Master Wuxin’s hand, leaning against him, “Mom, Niuniu will just study with Ye Feng for one year, and after one year, Niuniu will come back. Please let me go, Mom!”
For once, Young Master Wuxin looked at Liu Sisi with a serious expression, a swift streak of unexpected emotion flashing through his eyes.
“Is the Princess regretting this deal? Perhaps the Princess does not know? The medicinal materials you used for your baths, many of them were good medicines of over a hundred years old. If you are having second thoughts now, it’s still not too late.”
