Chapter 35: Wow, So Much Money

Bai Linglong stared at the interface displaying the ten thousand points and the draw option.

Her eyes sparkled with anticipation as she rubbed her hands together excitedly, murmuring to herself: “What kind of treasure will I draw?  Will it be rare medicinal herbs that are hard to come by, or a miraculous secret technique that will elevate my medical skills to a new level? If I could draw a super parenting robot, that would solve so many problems with raising a child. Or a painless childbirth device, then I could easily overcome the difficulties of giving birth in this ancient time. Please, let me draw something good!”

Filled with this expectation, she clicked the draw button without hesitation. In an instant, a blinding light flashed, causing her eyes to squint. As the light gradually dissipated, a small and exquisite robot model slowly appeared.

Bai Linglong looked on with confusion, leaning in for a closer look, and saw a line of text appear beneath the robot—“Smart Parenting Robot.”

“Wow, it really is a parenting robot!” Bai Linglong almost couldn’t help but cheer out loud.

She was so excited that she spun in circles, repeatedly saying, “This is amazing! Raising a child will be so much easier now.”

In the days that followed, Bai Linglong visited King Nangong Yan’s room each day for a follow-up examination.

While taking his pulse, she asked about his health, her gaze filled with focus. “Your Highness, how do you feel today? Is there anywhere uncomfortable?” Bai Linglong inquired with concern.

King Nangong Yan smiled slightly, his tone relaxed. “Miraculous Doctor, I feel much better and my spirits are improving, thanks to your careful attention.”

Bai Linglong nodded and continued, “That’s good. But your highness still needs to pay attention to rest and not be careless with your diet.”

King Nangong Yan looked at Bai Linglong, a hint of curiosity flashing in his eyes. “Miraculous Doctor, you are so young yet you possess such remarkable medical skills. I’m genuinely curious about where you studied.”

Bai Linglong was taken aback, her gaze flickering as she hurriedly lowered her head to organize her medicine box, mumbling, “Your Highness; I just study medical texts diligently in my spare time.”

As time passed day by day, King Nangong Yan’s health gradually improved, and his complexion became increasingly better.

An Yi was also working hard to gather the fifty thousand taels of gold for the consultation fee. Although the process was fraught with difficulties, he never forgot his promise to the king and his gratitude towards Bai Linglong.

One day, as King Nangong Yan sat in the courtyard basking in the sun, he noticed Bai Linglong coming to conduct her follow-up examination. His gaze unintentionally fell on her slightly rounded abdomen. After a moment of contemplation, King Nangong Yan opened his mouth to ask, “Miraculous, you seem to be pregnant. I see you busying yourself alone; where is your husband?”

Bai Linglong was just about to check his tongue when she heard this, and her hand trembled slightly, almost dropping the tools she held.

She steadied herself and, with a sorrowful expression, said, “Your Highness, he… has passed away.” After saying this, Bai Linglong lowered her head, pretending to organize her medicine box, not wanting King Nangong Yan to see the complex emotions in her eyes. She inwardly prayed he wouldn’t ask any further.

King Nangong Yan was taken aback, a hint of regret crossing his face. “I see, Miraculous Doctor, please accept my condolences. But in the future, raising the child alone will inevitably be difficult.”

Bai Linglong forced a smile and replied, “Thank you for your concern, Your Highness. I am used to facing things alone, so it’s not a problem. You should focus more on your health and take your medicine on time.” Saying this, she handed him the prepared medicinal soup.

Finally, on a sunny day, King Nangong Yan fully recovered. Dressed in splendid attire, he stood in the medical hall, radiating energy, a stark contrast to the unconscious state in which he had arrived.

“Miraculous Doctor, thank you for your attentive care during my sickness. My health has completely recovered.” Nangong Yan expressed his gratitude to Bai Linglong, his eyes filled with appreciation.

Bai Linglong smiled gently and said, “Your Highness, I am pleased to hear that you have finally recovered”

In her mind and heart, she silently cheered, Great! Finally, I can be free from you, and my peaceful days will return. I can focus on studying medicine and prepare for the arrival of my baby.

At that moment, An Yi walked in, holding a delicate wooden box. “Miraculous Doctor, this is the fifty thousand taels of gold in banknotes; please check it.”

Bai Linglong took the box and opened it to find neatly stacked banknotes inside. She sighed with relief; the fifty thousand taels of gold had finally arrived.

Smiling, she said, “No need to count. I trust you, An Yi.”

In fact, she was just eager to keep the banknotes and plan how to spend them.

She thought to herself about buying some modern snacks to satisfy her cravings, preparing lovely little clothes for the baby, and exchanging energy components for the smart parenting robot so it could have a skills that is better for her baby.
