Glamorous Journey Of The Female Protagonist

"Only one more week before you will be completely healed," Li Ming said as she poured the freshly prepared tea which was more of a healing potion, in one of the beautifully decorated cups.

"Thank you, Miss Li. You have done too much for us. We won't be able to repay you even if we tried for the rest of our lives."

Madam Xia had tears in her eyes as she thanked Li Ming for all the goodness the Young Miss had shown to their family.

Li Ming just nodded her head slightly. She didn't dare to take too much credit for showing goodness, after all, whatever she was doing for them had been planned according to her own benefits.

After Jin Jing drank the entire potion, Li Ming took out three Body Cleansing Pills. 

"These are Body Cleansing Pills. Since you are aiming to fight against your biggest opponent and enemy, you will need to be prepared as best as you can. Not only financially but also physically," Li Ming said as she signaled towards the pills.

"Miss Li, you have become our benefactor. We can..."

"Madam Xia, don't be so formal. We all know that behind me helping you and your family, there are my own selfish needs. Don't give me more credits than I deserve." Li Ming stopped Madam Xia before she could complete her sentence.

Xiao Sheng looked at the Goddess and smiled as he admired her more and more as he got to know her better with each passing day.

She was actually a real Goddess, a kind and pure-hearted person who wasn't aware of her own goodness yet.

Madam Xia, Jin Jing, and Xiao Sheng gulped down the pills and settled down in the lotus position following Li Ming's directions.

For the next two hours, Li Ming trained the three of them using some simple cultivation techniques. The spiritual energy in the Wang Empire was lower than the Han Empire, therefore by the end of two hours none of them had broken through.

Xiao Sheng was on his initial stage of cultivation and he still had to break through the first level of Basic Cultivator Rank.

On the other hand, though Jin Jing was a talented cultivator back a few years ago but due to the incident five years ago when she lost her ability to cultivate, her cultivation level stopped at the fifth level of Middle Cultivator.

Madam Xia was also only at the seventh level of High Cultivation.

After their short session of spiritual cultivation, all of them settled back in their seats.

Li Ming was surprised to see that even though it was five o'clock in the early morning and she had kept them awake the entire night, none of the three looked a single bit tired. 

Not even Xiao Sheng had any hint of sleep in his eyes. On the other hand, they all looked energetic after having a taste of spiritual qi.

Last night after the Young Masters finally left Black Jade Inn, she decided to cultivate a little bit to get back her lost energy.

But around two o'clock she became bored and because of all the questions that were plaguing her, she found herself unable to either sleep or concentrate on cultivation.

That's how she found herself roaming through the Market street of the Capital City of the Wang Empire.

She wasn't expecting to find Jin Jing's family awake and fussing over Jin Jing's future.

That's how she ended up proposing her deal to the three of them. She would help them get back on their feet and in return, they would work under her.

This deal was exactly same as what she proposed to Elder Fu and his family and looking at how well the later worked, she was ready to once again take the same path.

Who knew that Madam Xia and her children were also thinking about this plan from the first time they encountered Li Ming. They were just too scared to voice it out in front of her.

"Here's the design that I was talking about last time." Li Ming said as she took out a scroll and opened it, placing it in front of Jin Jing to show her the design.

The design was that of a long violet-colored shoulder off evening gown with a heart-shaped neckline, and a thigh-high slit on the left side of the dress.

It was a relief that Xiao Sheng was still busy cultivating because as soon as Madam Xia and Jin Jing saw the design their previously curious expression turned into a horrifying one.

"Miss Li, this...this..."

Neither Madam Xia nor Jin Jing was able to form proper words as they kept staring at the design which gave too much exposure and then towards the Young Miss who was the owner of that design.

"Don't look at me like that. I know that the dress is too inappropriate to even exist, that's why I want you to modify it into something that can have a touch of both the modern look and the ancient look." Li Ming told them with a sparkle in her eyes.

"M-modern? Ancient...?" Jin Jing looked at Li Ming with confused eyes and Madam Xia also had similar expressions plastered on her face.

Li Ming sighed as she tried to explain, "What I mean to say is that you need to find a balance between the design of this dress and the normal dresses that are worn by the women of the mainland. Design something new that would be appropriate to wear here but at the same time, it would have a touch of this one." She tapped at the design of the violet gown.

Madam Xia looked a lot more relaxed after hearing Li Ming's words and once again in the past six months, Li Ming questioned the world in which she had ended up after dying. Looked like she would need to work bit by bit.

Jin Jing looked deep into thoughts and then finally said after a few minutes, "We can't have that neckline, we would definitely need proper sleeves and that long cut...that's the worst. How can we still have a touch of this one when there won't be a single similarity?" 

Li Ming looked at the design and thought about Jin Jing's words. After thinking for a short while finally, an idea struck her.

She moved her hand over the scroll and the next second a completely new design was sketched on it.

"What you think about this one?" Li Ming asked with a small smile on her lips.

The surprise and amazement on Madam Xia and Jin Jing's face were enough to answer her question.

"This is such a beautiful design, Miss Li. In this way, the long cut at the side won't be a problem," Jin Jing said with an excited tone.

"True. I actually forget about this one. Let's start with this one for now. We will find a solution for the previous one when you will be completely healed," Li Ming said and Jin Jing nodded her head in agreement.

They wrapped up the scrolls and Madam Xia brought their packed items out of the small house in the backyard.

For the next half an hour Li Ming repeated the same procedure that she had done at the Jewelry shop with the help of Madam Xia and Jin Jing.

Li Ming had decided to rebuild the Clothes shop too as they were planning to open a new themed and bigger shop.

But this time rather than making the shop disappear from the sight, she ended up setting up an illusion that showed that the shop was still there. 

The sudden disappearance of the shop not only would have caused an uproar in the general public but it would also become a problem if Ming Zhu or the General family decided to find out about the sudden disappearance of the shop.

Too much attention before the opening of the shop would have destroyed the future reopening of the shop.

So, to stay away from all these problems Li Ming decided to use the illusion array to make everyone believe that the shop was still there. It wasn't like anyone was going to visit the shop.

But to still be safe, she also placed an alarm connected to the array which would alert her immediately if someone unexpectedly ended up visiting the shop.

After making sure that everything was set up perfectly, Li Ming teleported back to the Dongji village. 

The sun had already started to rise and the morning rays filled the environment with soothing warmth.

Li Ming left Madam Xia with Old Madam at the orphanage to let the lady settle down and took both Jin Jing and Xiao Sheng with her as she teleported to the foot of the Thundering Peaks.

Just like Old Sir Liu and Old Mo had promised her, they were standing there with a large group of children between the age group of seven and twenty.

Li Ming motioned Jin Jing and Xiao Sheng to join the group of children. 

With the help of Old Sir Liu and Old Mo, Li Ming separated the children into fourteen different groups according to their ages. Then she asked the two old men to take their leave.

On her advice, the children settled down on the ground in lotus positions. 

"In these past few months, you all have been training every day to make your internal force stronger. I think it's finally the time when we should take your journey a step higher." 

With a flick of her fingers brown pills with a golden ring in their middle, appeared in front of each person sitting there.

The pills were distributed according to their levels of cultivation and internal force. To solve the problem of finding the perfect rank pill for each child according to their cultivation level, Li Ming learned a new spell.

The spell solved her problem by distributing the right pill to the right person.

"Eat these pills and let your internal force relax. These pills will clean all the impurities from your body and blood. It's the first step of your cultivation journey," Li Ming said as she looked at the group of hundred plus children in front of her.

Her eyes landed on the high mountain peaks around them, unknown to the surprise that soon was going to greet her in the depth of these same mountain peaks.
