Insanely Pampered Wife: Divine Doctor Fifth Young Miss Chapter 2317 - Side Story - Wu Xiao Dao Edition (7) Bored

Wu Xiao Dao believed it would be wonderful if Fu Ming Shao returned with her. His spirit roots stood out as exceptional, promising a bright future through cultivation. Though already in his twenties and starting late, the Underworld offered a solution. Fear was unnecessary; he could rapidly advance in the years ahead!

Water seeks the low ground, while people strive for higher realms. Entering that world would undoubtedly benefit him more.

She instinctively overlooked his condition for entering that world.

Yet she sensed he wouldn't accompany her. She couldn't part with her family, and surely neither could he. But she'd overlooked the royal family's cruelty—his current high status didn't guarantee a happy past.

Would she take responsibility for him if he came along?

“This is what you said. As long as I pass, you will be responsible for me.” Fu Ming Shao's smile grew warmer, his breath brushing her face, unbothered by her current dark and plain appearance.

With everything spoken, Wu Xiao Dao regained her composure, noticed the amusement in his eyes, and blinked: “That's right.”

You won’t go with me anyway, she thought silently.

Fu Ming Shao saw through her thoughts, so he just smiled without replying. The decision to go still required some thought.

Wu Xiao Dao recuperated from her injuries on the mountain for over ten days. Throughout, Fu Ming Shao stayed nearby, marveling at her swift healing. Witnessing her flawless skin without scars left him in awe of that world's miraculous pills.

…

In those ten days, Wu Xiao Dao shared plenty about that world with him. Such an extraordinary realm stirred deep longing.

He inquired about Mu Si too, and Wu Xiao Dao revealed all she knew, taking considerable time. Thus, when Mu Si arrived with Wan’er to visit Wu Xiao Dao, Fu Ming Shao eyed him intently several times.

What a pitiful guy. Luckily, he'd forgotten his past and found someone new.

Back in the imperial capital, Mu Si and Wan’er couldn't conceal their astonishment upon seeing her again.

“Xiao Dao, you're completely healed?” Wan’er grasped her hand excitedly, inspecting it closely, and sighed in relief at the scarless skin, pulling her to sit. “I planned to visit you on the mountain tomorrow. Didn't expect you'd return today. Your medicinal pills are truly miraculous!”

“Let me check your pulse.” Wu Xiao Dao took her wrist and felt it.

Mu Si stood by Wan’er, watching the pair anxiously.

Wan’er’s health had improved lately, but they'd only seen Wu Xiao Dao once since then—when she was bedridden. This marked her first pulse check post-treatment.

They eagerly awaited news on Wan’er’s condition.

After examining the pulse, Wu Xiao Dao smiled: “It's as I mentioned earlier—the link to the Heavenly Dao is severed, so she won't weaken further. Still, her body needs thorough nurturing for a year or two. No worries, she'll be able to bear children.”

Wan’er blushed deeply, shooting her a playful glare: “What nonsense are you spouting!”

“This isn't nonsense—trust my skills. I'm not my mother's level, but I have confidence.” Wu Xiao Dao declared assuredly.

Wan’er gazed at the earnest Wu Xiao Dao, initially thinking she missed the hint. About to clarify, she caught the mischief in Wu Xiao Dao’s eyes and realized the tease. She lunged to tickle her instantly.

Wu Xiao Dao had been ticklish forever and dodged away, forgetting her strength was sealed from the lightning tribulation.

“Be careful.” Fu Ming Shao's voice rang out behind her. He caught her firmly, gazing down with a smile in his eyes.

She'd warned him her spirit power was unusable for now, making her like a mortal, yet he hadn't anticipated her clumsiness.

Wu Xiao Dao straightened up steadily. Wan’er apologized guiltily: “Sorry, it was my fault for being careless...”

“No harm done.” Wu Xiao Dao dismissed it with a wave. “I can't prescribe pills yet—your body’s too frail. Needs gradual care. I'll provide conditioning meds and tonic recipes; have your attendants learn to brew them for you.”

With a flick of her hand, brush, ink, paper, and inkstone materialized on the stone table. She penned two prescriptions, added food supplement ones, and handed them to Mu Si: “Use the first for six months, the second for the following year. Supplements anytime, but stop if pregnant.”

Mu Si stowed the recipes carefully. Wan’er’s earlier joy faded, worry clouding her face: “Are you leaving?”

“Not immediately, but it could be sudden. Better to prepare these now.” Wu Xiao Dao packed away her items casually.

Mu Si and the others knew her departure loomed, so her words brought only reluctance. But Fu Ming Shao inhaled deeply, his gaze intense upon her.

She might vanish anytime. The thought struck him, bringing a wave of dizziness.

“Though improved, you're still weak—avoid overexertion.” Wu Xiao Dao noted Wan’er’s pallor, stood, and said, “We'll head back now; rest well.”

“Just arrived in the capital—got a place? Stay in the little courtyard?” Wan’er suggested.

“No thanks, you need quiet rest, and I'm too lively to stay still. Wouldn't want Mu Si glaring daily.” Wu Xiao Dao joked with a laugh.

Mu Si stayed silent, didn't urge her— not for that reason, but knowing she needed no lodging arrangements.

He glanced at Wan’er; she caught on and let Wu Xiao Dao go.

Fu Ming Shao led Wu Xiao Dao to Prince Manor—his first time bringing a woman home. The staff buzzed excitedly, whispering if she'd be their Princess. Seeing his constant care and indulgence, they confirmed it.

Wu Xiao Dao lingered two days in Prince Manor. Tired of confinement, she dragged Fu Ming Shao shopping. After days out, the capital buzzed about the Prince's cherished lady.

That day, Wu Xiao Dao approached Fu Ming Shao again, eager to outing. For once, he cited duties and promised to join later. Bored in the manor, she insisted on going alone while he worked. Unable to argue, he relented—soon regretting it.
