After the chaos was settled, and everyone left, Luna began feeling sad while watching all the broken things inside the house.
Luna don't cry anymore." Henry said, while gently holding her hand.
She nodded gently while wiping the tears from her cheeks. Even though she stopped crying, Henry can see the sadness in her face.
First, he closed the room door, then reached into his sleeve under took out the two small, glowing white stones.
The movement, Luna saw them, her eyes went wide in shock.
"H-Husband…! Where did you get them?!" she asked with surprise and a bit of worry.
" don't worry… I won these in a fight. I already used one. Take this two and buy all new things for the house." Henry said, with a smiling face.
" what?! NO… How can we use this precious spirit stones for buying house things? You should use them for cultivation." Luna suggested as she took back her hands.
" I will get more spirit stones in the future… so don't worry about spending them. Here, take them and buy whatever you want." Henry suggested again.
She was hesitant for a long time. " are you sure?! These are really precious!"
" my beautiful wife is more precious than any of these stones. So don't bother about spending them. We will have hundreds of these in future." Henry replied confidently.
Long thought Luna extended her hand and only took one stone from his hand. " this will be more than enough to get all things for the house. You can use the remaining one for your cultivation. Also, can you promise me one more thing?" Luna asked with a shy look.
" what is it?" Henry asked with a questioning look.
"C-Can you take me to the Market tomorrow? I want to buy some clothes for you also." she asked while staring down.
" of course… I am very much glad to accompany you tomorrow." Henry replied with a chuckle.
A beautiful smile appeared on the face of Luna after hearing his words… without wasting another second, she began preparing a new herbal soup for him. She never expected the life would turn like this after experiencing the status of servant wife to a cripple husband. Everything changed like a dream.
Henry felt satisfied after seeing the cheerfully working wife and sat down on the corner in a lotus position.
" one spirit stone left… I should better use this right now." Henry muttered before closing his eyes and began observing the aura from the spirit stone.
Gentle waves of aura entered his Meridians… his newly recovered, spinal tree, greedily absorbed the aura, reinforcing the cracks and strengthening the Chakra connections.
Due to the presence of his divine sword energy, Henry can absorb the spirit stone within few seconds. It was almost like taking a breath. Even in the presence of thousands of spirit stones… Henry will only take just a few breaths to swallow the aura from the entire pile of spirit stones.
" with one More stone, I can finally step into the second class magus stage." Henry muttered as he opened his eyes.
The delicious aroma of herbal soup filled his nostrils as Luna stirred the broth.

Dong FAMILY COURTYARD…
A few younger kids stood before the patriarch with heads down. The servant finally reported the matter of Henry Clark beating Dong
'PAK!!!'
A wine cup shattered into pieces as Patriarch Dong slammed the table with an angry grunt.
"Idiot! What did you say?! Lee'er was defeated?!"
"Y-Yes Patriarch… young master Lee Dong tried to fight Henry Clark at the Silver Pond… b-but he lost."
"Stop speaking nonsense… My son is a class 5 disciple magus! How could he lose to a newly healed cripple?!" The patriarch roared.
The clan youths around him remained silent. No one dared speak.
"He even paid three spirit stones to that brat… disgraceful!" The patriarch's face was filled with anger and disgust.
"Father, I think that Henry Clark used underhand means to defeat my brother Lee Dong." Little Dong spoke in a weak tone.
The patriarch leaned back on the chair while thinking deeply.
"That boy Henry… he used a broken sword, correct?"
"Yes… Father."
"That child… he is trying to rise again to fame. We should finish him before he grows his talent back."
Everyone was silently waiting for the patriarch's decision.
"Leave… everyone… don't talk about this matter anymore." The Patriarch, Don Dong said suddenly as he found a way to take revenge on Henry without soiling his hands.
With disappointment all youth turned around to leave. But Little Dong stayed with a grumpy face.
"Father, can't we do anything in this matter." Little Dong asked while walking close.
"Hmmm… How can we leave this matter? I have another way to solve this, Henry." Don Dong said as he leaned on the table and began writing with an ink brush on a piece of cloth.
A smile appeared on Little Dong's face as read the words.
"Here… take this letter and give it to Hen Ping of the Ping family. Don't make any mistakes." Don Dong handed the folded cloth to his second son.
Little Dong waited a bit more with a monkey smile.
"What now?!" Don Dong asked with an impatient look.
"Father, I don't have any spirit stones…"
Before Little Dong finished his sentence, a loud smack fell on his head.
"Idiot… I know that you are the reason for all the fight happened. You still have the nerve to ask for spirit stones!" Patriarch Dong cried out angrily.
"Ahhhh…" Little Dong ran away crying while rubbing his head.

Late Night…
Ping Family Hall…
Little Dong stood in the Ping family hall nervously. He felt pressure to stand before Hen Ping, the lady who looked icy and dominating.
"My father asked me to deliver this to you… Lady Ping." Little Dong stretched his shaking-hands to deliver the message cloth.
With a cold look, she snatched the cloth and unfurled it. In a single glance, she perceived the message. A lazy smirk appeared on her face after reading the news.
"So, the genius cripple is walking again… Not bad. Hey, Little Dog, go and tell your father that this matter is settled." Hen Ping said with hands behind her back.
Even though Little Dong felt offended by the word 'DOG', he only nodded his head and left without looking back.
