“Can, can I have another bowl?”

The child was only seven or eight years old, but because of malnutrition, he was smaller than children his own age. His thin face was pale and blue, with a trace of timidness, however, there was unconcealable desire in his eyes.

When Feng Jiu heard this, her heart couldn’t help but ache for the child. She looked at the child with a soft smile and said: “Of course.”

As soon as she had spoken, a huge smile appeared on the child’s face and he ran to the woman’s side immediately: “Aunty, Master said I can eat another bowl.”

The adults of the ancient family’s eyes reddened when they saw this scene. They were originally a large Reclusive Family Clan, but they never expected that they would end up like this one day.

Trapped here, they could only lead life like savages, they barely had enough for three meals and they were thin from malnutrition. As they looked at the remaining juniors in their clan, they couldn’t help but feel upset.

After everyone had eaten their fill, the Old Clan Leader gathered all thirty nine clansmen, including the boy who was at death’s door who had been helped to sit up. After he had drunk a bottle of the Nutrition Liquid, his breath had recovered a lot, and he was in much better spirits.

“We nearly didn’t make it back alive this time. It was Master who saved us. Therefore, we swore an oath that the whole ancient family clan will acknowledge him as our Master.” The Old Clan Leader said to the remaining clansmen.

Everyone had known some of what had happened earlier, they knew that the youth had saved their Old Clan Leader and clansmen, and that he had also hunted prey for them. He even gave them spirit rice and treated their children’s ailments. At this time, they didn’t hesitate when they heard their Old Clan Leader’s words, and knelt down respectfully.

“Greetings to Master.”

The voices of everyone cried out at the same time, men and women mixed in with children. Although it all looked a little funny, the expressions on everyone’s faces were respectful and serious.

Feng Jiu glanced at everyone and said to them: “Get up!”

“Thank you Master.” They responded, then stood up.

“Follow me and I won’t treat you badly. The only thing I want from you is loyalty.” Her voice came out faintly into everyone’s ears clearly.

“We will be loyal to our death and never betray Master!”

The Old Clan Leader said, then the others said in unison: “”We will be loyal to our death and never betray Master!”

“Very good!”

She nodded and took a look at them, then said: “After you have entered here, your cultivation base has been unable to improve, and the strength of the children and youth are very weak. Although it is impossible to practice and improve your strength, your martial arts cannot deteriorate. Starting from today, your martial arts have to be strengthened. This way, the strength of your body will also greatly improve.”

In addition, during this period of time, you will have to nurse your health first. I have to go back out to seek out some cultivators.” She said to them, then with a flip of her hands, she took out some bottles of medicine for them.

“Here are some commonly used medicines, keep them just in case. I don’t think I will be back so soon.”

Upon hearing Feng Jiu’s words, they looked at the bottles of medicine that she had handed over, and everyone was stunned. They didn’t know whether they should accept the medicines or not. It was probably better that the Old Clan Leader spoke.

“Master, you should keep the medicine for your own use!”
