Time Travel: The Heroine Has Arrived!

In the days that followed, Gu Shengyin tended to her flowers every day, while waiting for Chang Fei’s upcoming exam.

Chang Gensheng had brought her rose flower seeds, thinking that his young daughter would probably like flowers with big pink blooms, like roses.

Gu Shengyin didn’t care what kind of flower it was; she just wanted to prove her flower-growing "skills" in front of Chang Gensheng.

She would scoop some water from the Spiritual Spring in her space and mix it into a whole big bucket of clear water each day.

Gu Shengyin had conducted several experiments herself; the Spiritual Spring Water can be consumed directly, but since the concentration of spiritual energy in the spring is too high, an ordinary person’s body can’t handle it, so it must be diluted with clear water first.

The same logic applies to plants.

Soon enough, effects were visible.

Small green sprouts quickly emerged in those few little flowerpots.

Gu Shengyin observed that the growth rate of these roses seemed considerably faster than ordinary roses.

Fortunately, the speed was only slightly faster, not too outrageous, so she didn’t need to bother with finding an explanation.

Chang Gensheng had been in a good mood lately. Jiujiu was becoming more sensible, and lately, she had been making him a cup of tea herself every day after lunch.

He wondered if it was a psychological effect, because the tea from Jiujiu’s hands always seemed to taste fresher and sweeter.

Additionally, he had been feeling exceptionally well lately, as if his body was brimming with abundant energy. One morning, while tidying his outfit, he even noticed that the few silver strands at his temples, which had appeared due to days of exhaustion, were now gone.

It is said if something seems abnormal, it might be a sign of a monster.

Chang Gensheng felt quite uneasy about this, so one day he carefully instructed the shop staff and went off worriedly to see a reputed elder doctor in town.

The old doctor was said to have a family heritage as an Imperial Physician from the Capital City, and he himself was famous when he was younger, before retiring to this quiet little town to enjoy his old age.

Of course, no one really knew if these stories were true, but the old doctor was indeed skilled in medicine. Any ailment in town, even just a mild cold or headache, would be cured with just one prescription from him.

Presently, the old doctor squinted his eyes, placed one hand on Chang Gensheng’s pulse, and furrowed his brow.

Seeing this stance, Chang Gensheng became increasingly anxious.

Finally, after a long time, the old doctor released his hand and looked at Chang Gensheng with something of a peculiar expression.

Chang Gensheng looked at the old doctor and cautiously asked, "Doctor, have I, perhaps, contracted some rare ailment?"

The old doctor rolled his eyes at him and said with irritation, "Yes, that’s correct, I think you have a very serious condition."

Chang Gensheng was greatly alarmed.

He hurriedly asked in an urgent voice, "So... can it be treated, doctor?"

The old doctor replied unhurriedly, "I think you’re as healthy as a bull, but your mind may not be in good shape."

Chang Gensheng: "..."

Wait!

He quickly understood the meaning behind the old doctor’s words.

He asked with delight, "So, doctor, I actually don’t have an illness?"

The old doctor said, "Not only are you not ill, but your health is better than many of the young people in town."

Chang Gensheng furrowed his brow.

He knew his own health well; after years of working on shop matters, he had felt somewhat mentally and physically exhausted. While he wasn’t seriously sick, he was a bit weak.

How could it be that, according to this old doctor, there was no problem at all?
