Chapter 1793
“By the way, Thea…”
Upon thinking about the herb he picked in the mountains, James immediately took it out of the packbasket and handed it over to Thea, saying, “Look what I found.”
Thea took it.
The moment she made contact with the herb, she was stunned. “What powerful Empyrean SpiritualEnergy!”
“Indeed.”
James said, “I’ve been collecting herbs for three years. This is the first time I’ve encountered a herbthat possesses such majestic Empyrean Spiritual Energy. However, there are no records of thisherb in the Medical Book. What about the Book of Malice?”
Thea scrutinized the herb for a moment before shaking her head slightly, saying, “No, I don’t knowwhat this herb is either.”
“In any case, we should plant it.”
“Mhm.”
Thea returned the herb to James.
James immediately headed to the backyard, dug a hole, and planted the herb. Then, he wateredthe plant. After planting the herb, he returned to the courtyard.novelbin
Thea was sitting on a swing caressing her tummy. Upon seeing James, a smile crept up on herface. “Though the baby is due in another two months, we haven’t thought of a name for it yet.”
James said with a smile, “There’s no need to rush things. Take it slow. We should wait for the babyto be born before deciding on a name. After all, we don’t even know his or her gender yet.”
“No way. We have to think of a name first.” Displeased, Thea reprimanded him, “The only things onyour mind are the Medical Book and martial arts. Pay more attention to our child, will you?”
“Hehe…”
James laughed.
“Alright, go see if the hens have laid any eggs.”
“Got it.”
James headed over to the chicken coop.
Soon, he shouted, “Thea, there are five eggs here!”
“Go catch a fish by the pond. I’m in the mood for fish today.”
“Sure thing!”
James placed the eggs on the table before heading over to the pond. Standing by the pond’s edge,he waved his hand, and powerful energy gathered in his palm. In the blink of an eye, a fish was inhis hands.
Holding the fish in his hand, he walked over to Thea with a bright smile on his face.
“Hahaha! We’re gonna have a feast tonight!”
A voice boomed.
A thirty-year-old-looking man walked over to James. The man had a piece of sackcloth on and wassmoking a cigar.
“Cook the fish if you wanna eat it.”
James tossed the fish to the man.
“Hey!”
Callan sighed. “I’m here for the free food. Why do I have to cook every time?”
When James first retreated into the mountains, Callan found out about his whereabouts andbecame his neighbor. James would frequently research and discuss martial arts with him.
During his time overseas, Callan refined the Dragon Essence and consumed the dragon’s blood.Now, he was at the peak of the Ninth Stair and only a step away from crossing into the ninth rank.
Holding the fish in his hand, Callan entered the house and began cooking.
Meanwhile, James sat on a wooden chair outside the house and smoked his cigar.
Soon, the meal was ready.
Outside the wooden house, the three happily ate. While they were eating, Callan suddenly stoppedand said, “James, something big is about to happen in the ancient martial world.”
“Huh?”
James looked at him puzzledly and asked, “What do you mean?”
Then, sensing Thea’s piercing gaze, he hurriedly laughed. “Well, it’s not like I have anything to dowith it. I no longer concern myself with the affairs of the ancient martial world. Even if all hell breaks
loose, it has nothing to do with me.”
Thea reminded him, “The baby is due in two months. You aren’t going anywhere. Do youunderstand me?”
“Understood!”
James smiled and said, “Cheers!”
He clinked his glass with Callan’s.
