Zhunti's Brilliant Plan Finally Succeeds! Yao Ji Secretly Marries a Mortal!

Day by day, time passed.

Yao Ji's injuries recovered extremely slowly.

Most of her time each day was spent circulating her energy to heal herself, trying to drive out the strange demonic power.

But the results were minimal.

Meanwhile, Yang Tianyou took meticulous care of her.

Every day, he brought plain meals and freshly brewed medicinal soup to her bedside on time.

He never asked about her origins, nor did he investigate why she had suffered such severe injuries.

He simply went about silently doing what he believed he ought to do.

He did not speak much, but every one of his actions revealed a simple and sincere kindness.

At first, Yao Ji felt somewhat unaccustomed to it.

When had she ever been so personally cared for by a mortal man?

Every time Yang Tianyou approached, she would instinctively feel a trace of nervousness and resistance.

But as time passed, those feelings gradually faded.

She began to grow accustomed to the faint herbal scent permeating the air.

She also grew accustomed to waking every morning to the sound of Yang Tianyou chopping wood outside the window.

More than that, she grew accustomed to the man's face, always carrying a gentle smile.

A month later.

Yao Ji's injuries finally showed some improvement.

She pushed open the door and walked into the courtyard.

The afternoon sunlight spilled warmly over her body, carrying a hint of languor.

When Yang Tianyou saw Yao Ji standing at the doorway, he froze at first. Then a delighted smile blossomed across his face.

"Miss... are your injuries better?"

He hurried over, his face filled with genuine joy.

"Mm." Yao Ji answered softly, a faint smile appearing on her face as well.

"They're much better now. Thank you, Young Master, for taking care of me all this time."
