As she told him such a thing he looked at her in disbelief. ''What do you mean? You mean different continents?''
She shook her head. ''Literally, a different world...'' And then she explained to him how everything happened. Even the story about her younger life she explained, even tho she skipped most of it. But when she explained the portal and how she came to the world he became pale.
He jumped up and stared at her. ''Are you sure about this?''
''Godfather, how can I not be sure if I literally jumped inside and now I am here.'' Her words resounded in a quiet room when he started pacing.
Nalan Ko was pale as well as she realized the gravity. Elder rushed to Mei Ling and plated his hands on her shoulders squeezing them painfully. ''Don't say ever anyone about this. No matter how much you trust them, this should not be known to anyone. I will need to go home. Nalan, you will need to do memory relict erase from your kid's memories. If they by chance speak about it, her life could be in danger.''
Nalan Ko nodded. ''Actually, I erased from girls heads the memory about this story. But Na'an...''
''Na'an will is strong, he won't tell anyone about it. That is the reason you couldn't erase it. Nalan, I can see you care about this child. Later, I will explain to you why this matter is dangerous. Now I have to go. I need to check a few things. I might not be able to come back for a while. Need to see Dragon King. Now.'' He was certain that Na'an won't speak about it recklessly
He went to Mei Ling and hugged her for the first time. She could literally feel his whole body shaking in fear. As he held her in front of him he smiled. ''Godfather will now go. I don't know when I will be back, but please know this... I will be back. Until then learn more about your powers in the academy. there are scrolls you can read. I will tell disciples to let you up to the fifth level of the tower. If you rise your power over the fifth level then five more levels will be open for you to learn from. But to grow strong it will take you time, so I think five, for now, is enough. Ok? Be careful while questing.''
She nodded and then he just greeted Nalan Ko with a wave of the hand and left the house in hurry, leaving them there completely dejected.
Next couple of days Mei Ling chose to make more prints. Nalan Ko medicinal office is about to open and she wanted to make certain items that would make the office look comfortable. Since Nalan Ko showed her the office she chose few items to enhance the office.
She didn't ant Nalan Ko to see it before she was done so she prepared everything in two days.
Two days later Nalan Ko, the kids, Mei Ling and whole Noak's group stood in front of the simple buildings in the healing street with cute flower ornaments on the door and huge sign HEALER KO on the wall.
When they entered everyone gasped. It looked like home. There was a middle room where Mei Ling added comfortable seats for waiting for people. Not only that. There were plants in a room that gave off calming smell and small plates with seats inside for those that waited.
On the door to the office were similar flower ornaments around her name NALAN KO.
But inside made them completely baffled. As it was healer's office she used her own powers to heal people. So there was no alchemist table or herbs, but a bunch of potted flowers in corners of the room, on walls there were paintings of trees and flowers in four seasons and in mid of room stood a table and two chairs from both sides.
Of course, the chair that as meant for the ones that needed healing was normal, but comfortable, but for her, it was a specialized comfortable chair where she could relax. On the side, it was one bed where heavy cases could be laid down and she could heal them. All in all, an extremely comfortable room.
Nalan Ko stood there and saw through the window light falling in every corner of the room and enhancing the comfort. ''Child, this place...''
''Mother, I understand your thoughts. I went to a few other healer's offices and found it quite uncomfortable. You can't let yourself being here the whole day and sitting on a hard chair. Just enjoy it as it is. Hm?'' She just wanted for Nalan Ko to feel not too tiered when she healed people whole day long.
Naok's group was more interested in those small sweets Mei Ling prepared. ''How delicious!!!''
Of course, they turned their eyes towards the young woman that just stood there and smiled. ''I guess you all liked it. So we have two things going on. We will start with inventions and sweets factories. Who of you is willing to be my partner?''
Two females chose to be her partners and one of the men. ''You will talk to each other about the toy inventions and before making end product let me see and check last time. About sweets, I will give you a basic idea. When you make novelties let us all try and we will say honestly what we think about it. Ok?''
Noak sighed. ''There are new middle quests. Shall we finish them? There are many repetitive smaller quests as well.''
They might not give a lot of money but if they do many of them at the same time they might get enough earnings.
Everyone looked at Noak and Mei Ling and waited for the decision. ''I was last few days running around and resting enough. It is time I start growing my powers. the more quests I do the more experience I gain. No matter how small the quest is, let it do it.''
Actually, they all got used to be in forests and do quests all the time. So sitting at home the last few days made them feel a bit stuffy. So with excitement, they cheered. ''Finally quests again!''
