“Are you sure it’s alright with you?” Xyla Quest asked.
Stanley Batton shook his head. “It’s fine… To be honest, I can deal with the work tomorrow too…”
Hearing this, Xyla immediately stood up and looked at Yaksha. “You shouldn’t occupy yourself with this. Where’s the kitchen? We’ll heat up the food,” she said.
Yaksha was quite old.
Xyla felt embarrassed about troubling the old man.
“It’s not right for my guests to do the work around here… If you don’t want me to get mad, you’d better sit here and wait…” Yaksha said before quickly making his way into the kitchen.
Xyla let out a long, helpless sigh before sitting down.
Yaksha was an eager host. If she kept insisting, it would make her appear impolite.
After Yaksha had left, the large living room was left with the couple.
The whole world suddenly became quiet.
The bitter tea on the table was still emitting steam that swirled in the air.
The thin, white steam rose upward. It seemed almost dreamy.
Since Xyla’s arrival at this place, she had found out about too many peculiar things that shocked her, and it had only been a few hours.
Now, she needed to remain quiet and digest all the information.
Xyla naturally rested her head against Stanley’s shoulder as she slowly closed her eyes.
Meanwhile, Stanley extended his arm and gently pulled her into his embrace.
Among the things that Xyla found out in this place today, there was something good, and there was also something bad…
The good thing was that Stanley could take the medicine Yaksha had given him before.
After taking it, Stanley would be able to undergo an operation for a bone marrow transplant.
Once the operation was done, Stanley would fully recover.
Not only that but Xyla and Stanley still had the means to cultivate. When they finally paid their karmic debts off, they’d be able to cultivate together.
