************************thank you ms editor ^^ ILoveBluu25**************************************

In the capital.

Sheri started to sell her handmade medicine in the form of herbal pills. The world she's in had what they called 'refiner' wherein they refine the herb to make a pill from it's energy then it will become a super-powerful pill.

Sheri was amazed. Trying one pill, she was impressed by it's effect on her body. The pill was usually expensive costing a big amount of money just to acquire it. But for Sheri, she cannot do it. She doesn't have the ability of a refiner.

Her mission is to help the ordinary people. She doesn't know why the owner of the body asked that, nevertheless, many of the poor were coming to her to buy her handmade medicine to cure for headache and other common illnesses. Before she let them have it, she specifically told them the side effects and instructed how to used it properly. Most of the poor are glad because they can offer Sheri with herbs, rice or anything as payment instead of money. Sheri as well gladly accepted them.

In some cases wherein a person can't afford it, she would look further at their situation and recommended an alternative on how to pay her. She tries her best to help them as much as she could.

Not just by selling the handmade pills but Sheri also made money by planting herbs through a modern way from her old world then sell it with a big price to the refiners. Her name was well known especially to the poor in which Sheri was glad.

One day while walking on a small road, she bumped into a child who was running.

"Please save me, Auntie, they want to buy me." The innocent child begged Sheri while clinging tightly on the hem of her clothes. Right then, Sheri saw 4 big men approaching.

"Give that child to us." One of the men ordered.

"How much do you want for her?" Sheri calmly asked.

The 3 men whispered to each other, then after a while, they turned to her and gave ominous expressions on their face as they laughed.

"Miss, you and her, have no escape."

Sheri's brows raised up. She squatted down and face the young child of about 6 years of age.

"Close your eyes, cover your ears and try to sing alright?". She smiled and calmly instructed the little girl.

The young child did what Sheri said. As the kid started to sing, Sheri swiftly attacked the men without any warning. They were not ordinary people but Sheri's technique was more handy than their strength and power.

Sheri gripped the neck of the guy and twisted. When the other 3 men saw that their brother died, they simultaneously attacked her. Sheri was not at all concerned but continued to kick and punch the two men in their vital points making them instantly lose their balance and fall. The last man was supposed to run but Sheri flipped through the air and went for his head. Using his hand, she twisted it.

All of the men died but Sheri didn't care. These people didn't deserve a second chance. They targeted and took innocent lives without any remorse at all. They were monsters.

Leaving that place, she carried the child in her arm and walked as fast as she could away from the crime scene. Sheri knew those men were pedophiles. In the era they are in, parents sell their children for a small amount of money or children were being trafficked or worst being raped. Knowing about these occurrences, she cannot stomach everything that was happening the reason she walked every night to this small road and the dark alleys for it is where most of the crimes were happening.

Away from where the dead bodies of the men lay, she brought the little girl down.

"You can open now your eyes. Are you alone or do you have a family?" Sheri asked with concern. Hearing her question, the child just cried.

"I was playing outside of our home and someone just grabbed me. They put me together with other children. Some children were sold out to somewhere. I was lucky I was able to run." Cried the child.

"Shh it's alright now. Are you hungry?" Sheri comforted the child as she told in between her cries.

She brought her home and asked one of her caretaker to help the child. The child didn't want to be separated from her. It took her a moment of convincing for the little girl to stay and be obedient.

After the long day, Sheri and the caretaker were sipping tea.

"It's already the 30th child you brought home. You are working double now to provide for them. Are you not getting tired?" Said the old woman.

"Nope Auntie Zhang. It's the most amazing feeling anyone could have." Sheri said with a smile.

It's true that the expenses were getting higher and bigger but Sheri didn't mind. She worked even harder than before. She even bought her self a bigger house and with a field on it to plant different vegetables and fruits. The older children helped her to plant or harvest the plants while the small ones helped in their own way with different chores. She met auntie Zhang when she was begging for her help. Sheri helped her and that was where they built a closer relationship and started helping orphaned and abandoned children.

On the rooftop of her house. Zi Xiang was standing. He found Sheri a few years ago. The times Sheri goes to sell a herb to one of the refiners, Zi Xiang made sure that it will be bought and paid thrice the original price. He didn't want to reveal himself because she might run away again. He wanted to take his time and help her first.

For the past months, he observed Sheri. Surprise after surprise came into him. He never expected her to help or even spend a lot of money for the orphaned children. Another surprise was when he witnessed how she killed the 4 men who wanted to harm a child. He knew that she didn't have any special ability or sense of surroundings just like what the other disciples have. When he saw that they wanted to harm Sheri, he was supposed to help her but she was fast.

He stops from what he was supposed to do when he saw that she jump and killed the first men. When she killed a few men without any mercy. He was still on the spot. He wanted to reveal himself but. Even if he wanted to get closed. He wanted to wait.

He opted of every night to visit her. Every time she goes to sleep. At first, he will stay at her side. But as days go by he lay next to her. He usually does it in the middle of the night and gets up early in the morning. Sheri didn't notice at all because every day she is busy and tired. She works, teaches and runs her own clinic. Every morning she will teach the small children how to read and write. in the afternoon she goes to her clinic. In the evening She teaches the older children about combats and at the same time teaches some of them who want to be physicians. Sheri makes sure that the children have days to play and rest etc.

Every time, she and the children go somewhere for a picnic. Zi Xiang order some of his close disciples to protect them. At first, they were hesitant but when they observe how the changes of Ah Mi are. They gladly help. They even pretend to be a farmer that is selling a herb or fruits or vegetables and sell them at a very low price.

Sheri was oblivious to her surroundings. She was so focused on different things.

In the following months, the name of the female lead was all over the place. She was praised as the most genius and gifted of all. It was all over the mouth of every person that she awakened the immortal beast making every nation wanted to have her. Many gifts were sent even their own sons for marriage. The other sects also wanted her. Sheri heard that one of the most powerful immortal Master sect was currently in love with her. She heard every progress about the female lead's life. From the memory of the old Ah Mi, indeed everything that's happening was the same which wasn't a surprise for her. She expected it but wasn't bothered about it. She continued with her daily life routine.

One fine day while Sheri was gathering a herb in one of the mountains, she heard a yelping sound of an animal. She searched and found a small beautiful fox trapped in an animal trap. She slowly approached the fox but it growled at her.

"Easy boy, I just want to help." Sheri placed the things she's holding down. She went forward to where the trap is and was about to reach out her hand and release the animal but out of nowhere, a sudden force hit her making her fly and hit a big tree. Sheri coughed blood and looked who hit her.

"How dare you trap my beast." Sheri looked and saw a man dressed up in red. His voice was cold. Sheri wanted to retort but she felt pain in her chest.

Sheri's brow was twisted and again she coughed blood. The fox growled at the man. It took some time before she stopped and felt better and looked back at the man holding the fox. It went down and licked its feet. The man, after listening to the fox growl, approached her.

"I apologize. I thought you're the one who set up the trap. Here, use it for your injury. I bet your injury was deep." The man said and threw a red pill towards her.

Sheri was so angry that she stood up and crashed the pill on her palm. She approached him and slapped him in the face. Sheri's face was twisted in pain.

"Ouch!" Sheri felt a stinging pain on her palm when she hit him on the face.

'What kind of face does he have, an iron?' Sheri thought while swaying her hands. She glared at the man and step on his foot. He didn't feel any pain. When she saw that all the things she does, doesn't cause him pain.

She went back to where she just put her things down, gathered it on her arms and walked away.

The fox and the man were frozen in spot. After some time, the fox started to laugh forgetting about the pain on his foot looking at the man holding his cheek with a confused expression.
