Feng Tianlan nodded slightly . She could empathize with Luo Yunzhu . In this cruel, dog-eat-dog world, only the fittest survived . The weak remained downtrodden and were unable to protect themselves—let alone other people .

Chuling stood to one side and watched Luo Yunzhu enviously . How nice to be able to cleanse the marrow and become stronger, she thought . She also wanted to become stronger and protect her Miss, but she was only a maidservant and had no such privilege .

“This is yours,” Feng Tianlan said when she saw Chuling looking on in envy . She passed her a ceramic bottle . “As long as you can get through this, you’re one of us . ”

“Miss, this is…” Chuling looked at Feng Tianlan, confused .

“It’s a Marrow Cleansing Pill . ”

Chuling’s eyes opened wide when she heard these words . She wanted to reject the offer, but Feng Tianlan interrupted her, “I made this one—I didn’t buy it . So, don’t worry and just take it . ”

At first, Chuling did not know how to react . Then, slowly, she started to cry . Her tears kept falling as she said, “I just knew…”

She knew that her Miss was not a good-for-nothing! Her Miss was the nicest person in the world! She knew her Miss would definitely reap rewards for blessing others, so she was definitely not a good-for-nothing!

Feng Tianlan felt warmth in her heart when she saw that Chuling was so happy that she was crying and couldn’t even speak . She said, “You can cleanse your marrow at the same time as Yunzhu . I believe that both of you can become stronger . ”

Having Chuling and Yunzhu as her buddies was the best thing that happened to her in this second chance at life .

“Alright . ” Chuling clenched her fists, her eyes full of fortitude . She was determined to become stronger and not let her Miss down .

Luo Yunzhu and Chuling both swallowed the Marrow Cleansing Pill without hesitation . Almost immediately, both of them were sweating profusely, and their faces were as white as paper .

The process of marrow cleansing included purging the bones as well as the meridian channels . It was like breaking all the bones in the body and rearranging them . Having one’s meridian channels pulled apart and rearranged was a pain that was felt in the marrow . It pierced through to the soul . One can only imagine how terribly painful marrow cleansing is!

Despite this terrible pain, Luo Yunzhu and Chuling did not give up . They gritted their teeth and endured . Finally, when they could bear it no longer, they screamed .

“AHHHHH!”

The two screams broke the tense atmosphere . Feng Tianlan glanced at the hourglass and saw that exactly two hours had passed, which meant that the process was complete .

“Tian…Tianlan . ”

Luo Yunzhu’s body was drenched with sweat, as if she had just been pulled out of water . She lay on the bed, her face all white, and looked at Feng Tianlan weakly . She had managed to endure the pain . But…was the marrow cleansing successful? Luo Yunzhu was right to be nervous . Not everyone could cleanse their marrow successfully . Feng Tianlan checked her over, then wiped the sweat off her face .

“The marrow cleansing was very successful . You can try training now . ”

Luo Yunzhu gave her a satisfied smile and closed her eyes, breathing hard . She had no more energy to keep her eyelids open . This was definitely the most pain she had ever experienced . But it was worth it!

Feng Tianlan quickly ran over to look after Chuling, who had passed out . She was as wet as Luo Yunzhu . Feng Tianlan wiped away the sweat on her face, worriedly calling her name, “Chuling, Chuling!”

Chuling slowly opened her eyes and saw Feng Tianlan looking at her anxiously . Tears started rolling down her face, and her voice was full of guilt, “Your lowly servant has let you down . I wasn’t able to endure it to the end . I’ve wasted your precious medicine . ”
