Young Miss Please Don’t Run - Chapter 28 Chapter 028

Mak Lok Son and his guard have just arrived at a big mansion just outside of the town. The mansion is surrounded by the woods and is hard to notice if the people that come here are not familiar to this area.

Standing in front of this mansion to stand guard is two man in their thirties, they are dressed in black and their arm sleeves have an eagle logo sewn on it. As soon as the two men saw Mak Lok Son getting off the horse carriage. They respectfully bow and said, “Welcome Back! Your Majesty, the Ghost King!” They then process to open the big front door for the owner of this mansion to go in,

Mak Lok Son didn’t speak a word or look at anymore with his expressionless face and just walked right into the mansion and process to his studies. Once he got to the room, he told Gao Sing to close the door since he has questions to ask.

“Did you find out anything?”

“Master, we couldn’t find out much regarding Madame Ba. We used our network throughout the world but only found out what’s already known by others.

Madame Ba suddenly shows up out of nowhere 20 years ago and stayed here at Fu Country. She met Master Ba not long after she showed up here and they have fallen in love at first sight. The Ba residence was against this marriage until Madame Ba took out lots of treasures to show that she can also support the Ba Family. Afterward, the past old Master Ba and the elders then have accepted her into the family.

About a year after marrying into the Ba Family, she gave birth to the twins. It was said that the Ba Family gets along very well and Madame Ba is well respected in the family. Two years after the birth of the twins, Madame Ba then gave birth to a daughter named Ba Yue. Unfortunately, she soon dies from heavy blood loss from giving birth. Madame Ba doesn’t have any friend and nothing else can be found out about her.”

“You sure the daughter Madame Ba gave birth to is Ba Yue?”

“Yes, Master. We have investigated it and have also found the midwife that was there at the time of birth.”

“I understand, you may leave now.”

“Actually Master, we noticed something when we were investigating Madame Ba, but it might not be related.”

“What is it?

“One Year prior to Madame Ba shown up, there was another woman that also mysteriously shown up. Same as Madame Ba, nothing can be found out about this woman but that she just suddenly appears out of nowhere one day.”

“Oh…..and who is she?”

“Her name is Xia Ling, she is the wife of the vice head of the Li Family that has passed away.”

Gao Sing continues to tell Mak Lok Son about Xia Ling and her family. He also told him about her daughter Li Hei Yi who’s also dead.

“Anything else that I need to know? If not then you can leave now.”

Inside the room, Mak Lok Son is still thinking about Ba Yue’s matters. The day Ba Yue brought home Little Red, he was told by Little Red that he can sense Little Yue is from the same world as he. He can’t sense anything different about Little Yue, so he had Gao Sing investigate about Little Yue’s background.

Ba Shao Ten is from the Ba Family and the Ba Family has been around for more than a hundred year. Master Ba was born and grew up here in Fu Country, so he is no one suspicious. On the other hand, Madame Ba is very suspicious. Nothing is known about her, not even where she came from.

And this Xia Ling is similar to Madame Ba. Is it possible they are related in some way? Nothing can be found out about her either and now that Xia Ling and her family is dead, there’s no way to know for sure.

Other than Madame Ba and Xia Ling, there’s actually another woman that suddenly shown up around the same time as those two. She came to Fu Country and married into the royal family and then disappeared soon after leaving behind a child. But there’s no way that woman had anything to do with those two. Otherwise, he would have known since she came from that same world like him! But no matter what, Little Yue is Little Yue. Nothing will ever change about that and she will be my one and only wife!

Back at the Ba residence, Ba Yue has been busy refining pills. And her hard work has been paid off because she can now refined mid-grade good quality pills. She decided to make the mid-grade strengthening pill and have changed the original formula to an upgraded better version that she had experimented.

The low-grade strengthening pill that she had refined before can only help the martial artist and low-level element user that’s at the Red level. But the new upgraded version of the mid-grade strengthening pill is different. It can only be used by element users of both orange level and yellow level to advance.

And the price for these two different pills are extremely different, it’s like the price of dirt and the price of the sky! The low-grade strengthening pill uses normal herbs and it can be refined by anyone, it is being sold for 10 gold coins each so lots of people can afford it.

On the other hand, the mid-grade strengthening pills uses very expensively and hard to find herbs, The pill refiner also needs to be a fire element user with excellent control of the fire, the mid-grade strengthening pills can be sold for at least a minimum of 5000 gold coins each and a lot more if it was sold in an auction in a bigger country! The price can be compared to high-grade pills!

She took one of the mid-grade strengthening pills to see how well it works. As soon as she took it, she felt lots of energy within her. She immediately sits in a meditation position and closes her eyes to cultivate. After an hour later, she opened her eyes with surprise! She has advanced from an Orange level, grade 6 to now the Yellow level, grade 1. She didn’t expect to advance all the way to the yellow level.

The pills work differently for everyone since everyone’s body is different. And it can only be taken once during the orange and yellow level to advance, otherwise, it won’t work. So it’s best for people that are stuck at that certain level for a very long time or already in the yellow level and needs to advance to the green level. If they are already in the Green level, this pill won’t work for them. The pill that will help them would be the high-grade strengthening pill, which she is unable to refine right now.

She’s not going to sell these pills to the herbal store because it will bring in troubles and too much unnecessary attention to her. Everyone knows that element users are rare especially here in this small Fu country. There’s not much of strong element user here in this country. And it gets harder to advance to the next level after reaching the yellow level.

Her grandfather from when she was Li Hei Yi was level Yellow, grade 10 for many years and can’t advance to the next Green level. He wanted to buy the mid-grade strengthening pill before but they didn’t have it in the Fu Country. It was very hard to find it even in the other big countries because as soon as one is for sale, it will be brought by someone in the blink of an eye. That’s why he had no choice but to went into closed cultivation and still haven’t come out after all these years.

If the mid-grade strengthening pills were to leak out, there will be tons of people fighting for it and not just in the Fu Country, but also other countries will also send people here. The mid-grade strengthening pills are rare but they still have it out there in the bigger countries for sale through the auction for a high price that can be compared to the high-grade refined pills. Because even though it’s only mid-grade level pills, this kind of pill is harder to refine and needs the pill refiner to be a fire element user with excellent fire control to refine it.

Most high-level element user won’t stay in a small country because there’s nothing there for them. So the highest element user currently in the Fu Country is a Blue level element user that has just advanced from a Green level user. He was hired by the emperor with a very high salary from another country to protect himself and the palace.

Ba Yue tried to refine this mid-grade strengthening pills 3 times before this last time finally succeed! She wasted lots of expensive herbs and even blow up a furnace. What came out from this good batch was only 6 pills, less than what she usually makes. For her low-grade pills, she usually makes about 10-15 pills per batch.

She already took one and is regretting it since it would have worked better if she saved it for when she’s already in the Yellow level, but nevertheless, she doesn’t need to depend on the pills to advance, she trusts her own power! And as her these pills, she currently still have 5 left. She plans to give one of each to Ho Wai, Ba Shao Ten, Ba Zi, and Ba Jing. She will hold on the last one and see if there’s anyone else that she can give it to in the future.

The next morning, Ba Yue went to her routine training in the Black Forest again. While she was training, she noticed someone is watching her. It might be because she has advanced to the Yellow level and is now stronger. Or it might be the person watching her decides to show himself so he didn’t conceal himself that well.

And the truth is the person watching Ba Yue didn’t really conceal himself since he thinks it is about time to show up in front of her.

“Who’s there?” Asked Ba Yue as she looks at the direction where she sensed a presence by the big tree behind her.

The person behind the big tree didn’t say anything, he just walked out from behind the tree and looked at Ba Yue with his expressionless face.

“It’s you! The man with the mask that gave me the jar with medicated cream last time. Why are you here and why at you watching me?”

“I have watched you for a very long time. At first, I was just bored and you have caught my attention, but now I’m very interested in you.”

“Since when have you been watching me? How come I never notice you around?” Asked Ba Yue, who’s now in her cautious mode.

“I have been watching you since the very beginning when you were still that old useless self. You have grown and changed a lot since then. You have surprised me!”

“If you have been watching me for that long and I haven’t found out, why did you show yourself today? What do you want?”

“It’s getting boring to just watch you now, I figure it’s time for me to get to know you.”

“I’m not interested, please don’t bother me.” Said Ba Yue as turns around to leave.

“I can help you become stronger and give you anything you want.”

Ba Yue without turning around and continues to walk said: “I can get stronger by myself and don’t need anyone’s help. Whatever I want, I will get it with my own hands. Things that are not obtained by my own hands are not really mine but was given by others. I don’t need to depend on anyone but myself!”

The man with the mask just watched as Ba Yue’s walks away and is getting farther and farther away from him until he can’t see her anymore. His expressionless face finally has a slight smile on it.

“Little Yue, what am I going to do? I feel like I’m falling more and more in love with you. How can I get you to look at me? I really want to lock you up so you can only be mine! But I know I can’t do that because I want your true heart, not because I force you.” He then left the forest soon after.

Ba Yue is on her way home, she’s thinking about the man with the mask. He’s strong! She thought to herself. If he didn’t purposely show himself, she’ll never realize that he was watching her. She doesn’t care who he is, and she doesn’t want to have anything to do with him. Someone as strong as him is also someone very dangerous. She can’t go back there to train from now on, she needs to stay away from him.
