Chapter 87: Glutton Demon
Anji slept, and slept, and slept. When she finally woke up, the first things she wanted were water and food.
"Young mistress! You’re finally awake!" Lizi cried when she entered the room to see Anji stretching.
News of Anji’s achievements spread throughout the sect during the two days that she spent sleeping. Lizi was extremely worried when Anji would not wake up and called Doctor He. After the physician announced that Anji was merely sleeping from over-exhaustion, everyone relaxed. However, that did not explain the lack of muscle aches.
"Was I really asleep for only two days?" Anji asked. "Did anyone give me medicines or massages? I don’t feel any aches in my body apart from being extra hungry."
Indeed, it was the first time Lizi had to make a second trip to the kitchen to ask for a second tray of food for Anji. Her young mistress normally ate very little and had a poor appetite.
"Anji is awake?" a man’s voice interrupted before Lizi could answer her.
Zhao Mingfeng rushed over as soon as Gu Ying reported Anji’s condition. Of all the people watching on that day, he received the greatest shock when his daughter collapsed in his arms as soon as he scooped her from the ground. When she would not wake up, he could not help but worry, even though the physician declared nothing was physically wrong with Anji.
"Good morning, father," Anji greeted calmly while shovelling food into her mouth. She had already eaten three bowls of rice and all the dishes from earlier, including two drumsticks. However, it was still not enough.
Looking at the empty plates and bowls on the table, Mingfeng wondered how everything fit in that tiny body of hers. Instead of interrupting her meal or correcting her that it was closer to dinner than breakfast, Mingfeng silently reached out to Anji’s wrist to confirm something.
