Chapter 113 Senior Sister
Chapter 113 Senior Sister
"In a grove of trees, the light was dim."
Zhang Duanyang, carrying a silver spear and with a murderous aura on his face, darted away at top speed.
There was no one in sight ahead.
They pursued them for several more miles.
He suddenly sensed something was wrong and immediately stopped.
What about people?
Is it running that fast?
He turned right out of the woods and onto the main road, carefully examining the marks on the ground.
There were no footprints or bloodstains on the ground.
The other person had clearly been shot three times and, while fleeing for their life, would not have had time to bandage their wounds.
Especially the wound on the lower back.
When running at high speed, blood will definitely drip from the wound.
But there was no trace of it anywhere around.
"ah"
Just then, a heart-wrenching scream suddenly came from the woods in the distance behind them!
The voice was familiar, and the call was friendly!
"Brother Feng!"
His expression changed drastically, and he hurriedly turned around and ran back the way he came!
"Swish! Swish! Swish!"
I sped along at breakneck speed, my heart pounding with fear and urgency, wishing I could just fly there!
"Brother Feng! Brother Feng!"
When he rushed breathlessly to the grove of trees where the screams had come from, he was met with a scene that horrified him and filled him with unbearable grief!
Han Feng had been beheaded and lay in a pool of blood.
His entire body was cruelly split in two.
And that head, with its wide-open, terrified eyes, seemed to be staring at him with unrepentant eyes.
"ah"
After a long silence, a heart-wrenching scream suddenly rang out from the woods!
Then, she cried out in grief, "My beloved Fenglang!"
A moment later, another furious roar, filled with gritted teeth and overflowing hatred, rang out: "Luo Qingchen! You little bastard! If I, Zhang Duanyang, don't skin you alive, tear you to pieces, I swear I'm not human!"
The withered leaves in the forest were shaken and fell in a rustling sound by his terrifying roar and rolling murderous aura.
The wild beasts in the distance were so frightened that they trembled and fled.
"They really have money, two thousand three hundred taels!"
Luo Qingchen quickly bandaged her wound, endured the pain, and continued on her way by taking a detour.
While hurrying on his way, he quickly glanced at his recent harvest.
Unexpectedly, Han Feng's storage bag contained a huge sum of 2,300 taels of silver, as well as a portion of monster blood!
There were also some strange tools.
:
Adding to his previous gains, he now has a staggering 4520 taels of silver!
Of course, that's not enough!
As I ran, the wounds on my shoulder and arm throbbed with excruciating pain.
But the most painful part is in the waist.
The wound on his waist, because there was no bone to stop it, almost pierced his kidney.
Even after applying medicine and wrapping the gauze many times, fresh blood continued to gush out, quickly staining the gauze and clothes red.
But now he dares not slow down, much less stop.
The surrounding trees rushed past.
He gritted his teeth, endured the pain, and continued running forward.
Zhang Duanyang's cultivation level should have reached the peak of the Nourishing Spirit Realm, and his spear technique has reached the level of mastery.
Even if he wasn't injured, he wouldn't be a match for his opponent.
Now that he is seriously injured, if the other party catches up with him, he will definitely die.
He had just realized that he was seriously injured and could not escape the two men's pursuit, so he took a risk and went around to the rear.
Unexpectedly, I stumbled upon a great bargain.
It seems that iron nails are still very effective as concealed weapons, and we should find ways to upgrade them in the future.
Dealing with cultivators below the Tongqiao Realm should be no problem now.
After all, they are still flesh and blood, and their feet are their weakest point. The area around the Demon Extermination Sect is dark, with black forests and black soil all around. In the midst of running or panic, it is easy to step on something or have your feet pierced.
Upon reaching the Tongqiao Realm, the entire body will undergo a complete transformation, becoming more resilient. At the same time, the divine sense will become stronger, and the reaction speed will be greatly improved.
If it were just ordinary iron nails, even if they didn't notice them, they would probably react immediately the moment the nail pierced their skin when they stepped on it, and thus use their speed to avoid it.
Unless they are iron nails made of black iron.
Those iron nails were so sharp they could cut a hair in an instant, and they could pierce the sole of a shoe almost instantly.
Even for cultivators at the Tongqiao Realm, by the time they realize there's something under their feet, it might already be too late.
Like a sharp, black iron blade, it lightly brushes against your finger, and the moment you feel the other person's touch, your finger falls off, leaving you no time to react.
"However, black iron must be very expensive—"
"Furthermore, I wonder if the general store would be willing to help, specifically to forge those iron nails—"
I pondered all the way.
Around noon, he finally dragged his exhausted and weak body back to the sect.
There wasn't enough time to hand over Shui Miaomiao's head or sell the storage bags.
He immediately returned to his cave, took off his blood-stained clothes, removed the red-stained gauze, cleaned the wound again, sprinkled medicinal powder, and bandaged it up.
At this point, the blood in the first vital energy bar in the body is insufficient.
He immediately used a small amount of his gilded blood to fully replenish his health.
"The wound is too deep, especially on the waist. I'm afraid applying medicine and bandaging like this won't be enough."
"It must be stitched up as soon as possible."
"Moreover, we definitely can't stay in this cave any longer for the time being."
Zhang Duanyang knew he was seriously injured, and if he knew he had escaped back, he would definitely rush into the cave to kill him.
There are only three places where core outer disciples are forbidden from killing each other, and this does not include their cave dwellings.
Therefore, he needs to leave as soon as possible!
But where should we go?
His first thought was Medicine Man Town, where the other party wouldn't dare to act openly.
At the same time, Senior Sister Bai is a highly skilled doctor and should be able to stitch up his wound.
If there were better wound medicines available to help him recover sooner, that would be ideal.
However, I just spent a few nights there last time, so I definitely can't stay that long this time.
"Just one night will do —"
"We'll figure something out later."
He dared not hesitate any longer and immediately packed up everything in the cave.
This includes some daily necessities, as well as medicinal herbs, and even items such as bath tubs and iron pots.
I packed my things and changed my clothes.
He immediately left the cave, enduring the pain, and headed towards Medicine Man Town.
"Bomb One"
Not long after he left, a figure with red eyes and a murderous aura suddenly came to his cave.
The heavy, sturdy stone door was instantly smashed to pieces.
When some disciples and elders of Black Phoenix Peak heard the commotion and rushed over, the entire cave had already been reduced to ruins.
"Who did it?"
"Didn't see it————"
"Who's so bold as to destroy Senior Brother Luo's cave dwelling?"
"They shouldn't be disciples of our Black Phoenix Peak, right?"
The disciples around them were discussing amongst themselves, their expressions varied.
Most disciples, including the core disciples, were gloating when they saw this.
Everyone's happy to have one less strong competitor.
.——
It was midday.
In Yaoren Town, a middle-aged man with gray hair walked out of the Ziwei Pharmacy on South Street, wiping away tears.
His face was filled with despair.
His son fell into a coma again yesterday and has not woken up yet.
He went to invite other doctors.
The doctors all told him to prepare for his death.
Only here can he go back and wait.
But what's the point of going back and waiting? Will my son wake up?
He felt this was just an excuse from the other party.
His son will never wake up again.
In the pharmacy.
Ayao stood in front of the counter, her eyes red-rimmed, and said, "Master, what should we do? If we don't get the medicine today, it will be too late. Where can we get some demonic beast blood? Do those blood shops sell it?"
Inside the counter, Bai Tang was standing with his back to her, checking the medicinal herbs in the back drawer, and did not answer her question.
Chen Ya, who was pounding medicine not far away, coldly said, "The blood shop only sells human blood, how could it possibly sell demonic beast blood? Do you think it's from above?"
Ah Yao choked up, "Senior Sister, that child is only six years old—"
Chen Ya said coldly, "People die every day in this world, from ninety-year-old seniors to newborn babies. So what if they're six? If they're not destined for that, they should be freed from this fate sooner."
Then she rolled her eyes at her and said, "Even if the blood shops here sell monster blood, it must be very expensive. They can't even afford to pay for Master's medical treatment. You expect them to spend money to buy monster blood? Or are you planning to pay for it for them yourself?"
Ah Yao whispered, "I—I have no money—"
"Then shut up!"
Chen Ya snorted coldly, ignored her, and continued to pound the medicine.
Her high ponytail bounced behind her.
She was wearing a white dress, tall and slender, standing gracefully in front of the table. At this moment, however, she had a cold face, occasionally frowning, and a hint of pain would appear on her face from time to time. A sense of irritation would also rise in her heart from time to time.
Ayao looked at her strangely: "Senior sister, why are you so fierce today?"
Chen Ya retorted irritably, "When have I ever not been fierce?"
Ayao laughed and said, "You're not fierce when Master is around."
Then she added, "When your master isn't around, you're like a tiger; when your master comes, you're like a pitiful kitten."
Chen Ya raised the pestle in her hand, ready to hit her.
"Senior sister, spare me! I was wrong!"
Ayao immediately laughed and ran away.
Chen Ya wanted to chase after her and pinch her cheeks a few times, but suddenly felt a pain in her stomach.
At the same time, it felt like something was about to come out from my lower body.
She quickly put down the pestle and said, "Master, I—my stomach hurts—"
Bai Tang put down the herbs in her hand and turned to look at her.
A-Yao immediately stopped and said, "Senior Sister, I really didn't give you any laxatives this time."
Chen Ya clutched her stomach in pain while raising her fist and glaring at her.
Suddenly, A-Yao screamed, pointing at her skirt and exclaiming, "Ah! Senior Sister! You're bleeding!"
Chen Ya looked down and saw that her white dress had been stained red. Her legs went weak and she almost fell over.
At this moment, Bai Tang spoke calmly: "A Yao, help her back to her room to rest and change her clothes."
A-Yao quickly agreed and ran over to support her. As she led her to the inner room, she said, "Senior Sister, I told you to be less angry and less prone to losing your temper. Now look what happened, you've gotten so angry you're bleeding! Ah!"
"Senior sister, you still have the strength to pinch me?"
Bai Tang took out several medicinal herbs from the drawer, put them together, and then followed her into the inner room.
After a while.
Inside the room were two girls, one older and one younger, both with flushed faces.
"So, Senior Sister didn't actually have a blood hemorrhage after all—"
"I will too in the future."
Ayao muttered something to herself.
Bai Tang said, "Go and brew the medicine, give it to her twice a day."
Ayao agreed and quickly took the medicine and left.
Chen Ya lay on the bed, her face pale, and tears suddenly streamed down her face uncontrollably.
Bai Tang covered her with the blanket, looked at the tears on her face, and asked, "What's wrong? Does it hurt a lot?"
Chen Ya shook her head, tears streaming down her face, and looked at her, saying, "Master, I just feel—I feel that in this world, only you and A Yao truly care about me—I'm very happy here—"
'
Bai Tang's face remained as cold and aloof as snow, showing no emotional fluctuations.
"have a good rest."
She said it softly, then turned and left the room.
Chen Ya wiped away her tears, trying her best to stop herself from crying.
Crying is a sign of weakness.
In such a place, she must not be weak, nor can she cry for anyone.
She must be strong; she must cultivate herself diligently.
She wants to become stronger!
Bai Tang returned to the counter in front, glanced at the sky outside, and frowned slightly.
A while later.
She slowly opened the drawer and looked at the silver notes inside.
But at that moment, she suddenly raised her head and looked outside again.
Then, she closed the drawer, picked up a book from the table, and began to read it.
"Senior Sister Bai————"
Luo Qingchen walked in from outside, went to the counter, hesitated for a moment, and said, "May I stay here for another night tonight?"
Bai Tang raised her head, her cool eyes meeting his. After a pause, she asked, "Why?"
Luo Qingchen paused for a moment, then said without replying, "If it's inconvenient, I'll go somewhere else."
Bai Tang stared at him quietly for a while, then stretched out her hand and said calmly, "Where's the monster blood?"
Luo Qingchen was taken aback, then immediately took out a bag of blood from her storage bag and handed it over, saying, "It's from yesterday, it should still be usable."
Bai Tang took the blood, ignored him, took out the prepared medicine from the drawer, stepped out of the counter, and called out to the backyard, "A-Yao."
Ah Yao immediately came running over, saying, "Master, you—ah! Master! You've come!"
Upon seeing Luo Qingchen, her face immediately lit up with joy.
Bai Tang said, "Go get the medicine box and come out with me."
"Going out?"
Ayao paused for a moment, then immediately noticed the medicine that had been prepared the day before in her hand, and asked in confusion, "But, monster blood—"
Suddenly, her gaze fell upon the leather bag in her other hand. She paused, startled, then her eyes lit up as she realized, "Master, we have demon beast blood? Where did we get it—"
At that moment, her gaze suddenly fell on the boy before her, and she exclaimed excitedly, "Master! Did you bring him? It must be! That's wonderful! That child can finally be saved!"
After saying that, she immediately took the medicine from her master, picked up her medicine box, and prepared to go out.
Just then, she suddenly remembered something and quickly said, "Master, I'm still brewing the medicine, and my senior sister is still waiting in bed to take her medicine!"
Bai Tang was already walking towards the door when she heard this and said, "Isn't there still someone else here?"
Having said that, he walked out of the pharmacy.
Ayao blinked, looked at her master, and whispered, "Master, Senior Sister has a stomachache. We must force her to drink a big bowl of medicine later."
After saying that, he immediately carried his medicine box and went out the door.
"stomachache?"
Luo Qingchen looked puzzled.
Did you eat something that upset your stomach?
Is she really that delicate? If she gets an upset stomach, she has to lie in bed and wait to take medicine?
Where did this delicate young lady come from?
He wasn't going to pay any attention to it, but considering that he would have to stay here tonight and might need to trouble that Senior Sister Bai to stitch up his wound, he had no choice but to go to the backyard to help continue brewing the medicine.
Soon, the medicinal liquid began to boil.
He immediately ladled out a bowl, let it cool for a while, and then brought it into the room.
As soon as the door opened, Chen Ya's hoarse voice, clearly from crying, came from inside: "Ayao, I'm bleeding again. Come help me change my underwear, and then go wash my dirty underwear and skirt. Remember to wash them clean, or I'll beat you up."
"Squeak—"
Luo Qingchen pushed open the door, carrying the medicine, and went inside.
On the chair by the bed were the white dress and underpants that had just been changed out of, both stained with blood. On the floor were two white socks and a pair of embroidered shoes.
Chen Ya lay quietly on the bed.
The quilt was draped over her chest, revealing a moon-white bodice underneath. The bodice was stretched taut, and her two slender, snow-white shoulders were also exposed.
She lay face up, her large, dark eyes wide open, motionless, seemingly lost in thought.
Luo Qingchen walked to the bedside, placed the medicine in her hand on the bedside table, twitched her nose slightly, and couldn't help but frown.
The smell of blood is so strong.
"Hurry up and change my underwear!"
Chen Ya threw back the covers and turned to look at him.
Upon seeing this, they were immediately dumbfounded.
Luo Qingchen glanced at her lower body.
The white shorts below were stained red with blood, revealing a pair of fair and slender legs and a pair of delicate white feet.
"Master—Master—"
Chen Ya was stunned for a few moments before finally reacting. She hurriedly pulled the blanket over herself, her face turning bright red with embarrassment and anxiety. She stammered, "I'm sorry, I... I thought it was A Yao..."
Luo Qingchen didn't speak. She turned and walked to the wardrobe, rummaged around inside for a bit, took out a pair of underwear, threw it on the bed, and said coldly, "Change yourself. Also, drink all the medicine by the bedside."
After saying that, he left the room.
Chen Ya looked at the underpants he threw at her, then glanced at the clothes she had just changed out of on the chair by the bed. Suddenly, she covered her burning cheeks, pressed her legs tightly together, and writhed in shame, making muffled noises as she cried out, "So embarrassing! Waaah—"
Luo Qingchen left the room and went to the counter in front. She touched the wound on her waist and felt it was getting more and more painful.
Meanwhile, the gauze bandaging the wound, as well as the outer clothes, were stained with blood and became sticky.
He had no choice but to go to the counter himself and search for the wound medicine in the medicine cabinet behind it.
After searching for a long time, all I found were single medications; clearly, they still needed to be prepared.
Just as he was sweating profusely from the pain, a soft footstep sounded, and hesitant footsteps emerged from inside.
"Master—Master, what are you looking for? Where are Master and Ayao?"
After changing her clothes and hiding her blood-stained garments, Chen Ya finished a large bowl of medicine and then shyly came to the front. Seeing him looking for something in the medicine cabinet, she quickly asked.
Luo Qingchen asked, "They went out to see a doctor. Do you have any wound medicine here?"
"Heart-healing medicine?"
Chen Ya was taken aback upon hearing this and quickly asked, "Are you injured?"
Just then, she suddenly noticed that his black shirt was soaked at the waist. Upon closer inspection, she saw that it was covered in blood. Her face immediately changed, and she hurriedly said, "I have some wound medicine! I have some in my room, I'll go get it right away!"
After saying that, her stomach pain subsided, and she quickly ran back to her room.
She often practiced martial arts, and A-Yao specially prepared some wound medicine for her. She was hesitant to use the medicine prepared by that little girl before, but after using it a few times, the effect was very good, and she immediately asked the little girl to prepare several bottles.
She came out quickly with the wound medicine.
At this moment, Luo Qingchen had already sat down in the chair and was taking off her clothes.
Upon seeing this, Chen Ya quickly said, "Master, why don't we go to my room? Here—I'm afraid someone might come in later."
Luo Qingchen glanced at the door, and without hesitation, got up and walked towards her room.
The wound on my lower back is getting more and more painful.
He was somewhat worried that the sharp spear tip, which carried a menacing aura, might have already damaged his internal organs.
Chen Ya went straight over and closed the shop door, then followed him into the room.
Luo Qingchen didn't shy away from it. She immediately took off her shirt, and sat down in the chair, completely naked.
Chen Ya glanced at his muscular chest and her face flushed instantly. She quickly bent down and helped to untie the gauze from the three wounds.
After the gauze around her waist was removed, she was horrified, her face turning pale as she looked at the bloody hole and exclaimed, "Master, someone took your kidney?"
Upon hearing this, Luo Qingchen's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly looked down.
He then glared at her and said, "Your kidney was just taken! Apply the medicine now!"
"oh----"
Chen Ya breathed a sigh of relief when she realized she had misunderstood. She quickly blushed and uncorked the bottle to prepare to apply the medicine.
Luo Qingchen suddenly asked, "Do you know how to stitch up wounds?"
Chen Ya was a little embarrassed upon hearing this: "I—I don't know how, but Master and A Yao do—"
Luo Qingchen wanted to say something, but a sharp pain suddenly shot through her lower back, so she could only say, "Apply the medicine first."
Chen Ya quickly and carefully poured the medicine powder onto the wound on his shoulder.
As soon as the powder was sprinkled into the wound, Luo Qingchen suddenly felt a burning pain, which made him tremble, but he did not make a sound.
Chen Ya then timidly said, "Master, the medicine that A Yao prescribed is very effective, but it hurts a bit."
"I can bear it, you can continue."
Luo Qingchen's expression remained calm as she looked down at her bloody, mangled wound.
Chen Ya poured some more medicine powder onto the wounds on his arm, then took some clean gauze and bandaged both wounds.
"Master, you need to lie on your side to treat the wound on your waist."
She crouched down and examined the wound on her waist closely, then quickly said...
Luo Qingchen raised her eyes and glanced left and right.
Chen Ya quickly got up, pointed to her small bed, and said, "Master, there, you can lie on my bed."
Luo Qingchen glanced at her.
She immediately looked away, blushed, lowered her head, and gently bit her lip.
Luo Qingchen didn't think much of it. She took off her shoes, lay down on the bed with her back to her, revealing the horrific wound on her left waist.
Chen Ya came to the bedside, looking at the terrible wound, her hand holding the medicine bottle trembled slightly.
She carefully sprinkled some medicinal powder and said in a trembling voice, "Master, this wound needs Master to come back and treat it. If we just apply medicine, I'm afraid it will be difficult for it to heal."
Luo Qingchen said, "Put on the medicine first and bandage it for me."
"Um.
"Chen Ya quickly agreed, sprinkled some more medicine powder, and then took gauze and carefully bandaged him up.
"Master, you should lie down and rest, and it's best not to move."
She quickly picked up her blanket and gently covered him with it.
Luo Qingchen turned to look at her and said, "Go wash the bowl you used to drink your medicine, and wash your blood-stained clothes too. You're not allowed to let Ayao wash your clothes again."
"Yes, Master."
Chen Ya blushed and agreed, then quickly picked up her blood-stained underwear and skirt from under the bed, preparing to leave.
Then, her gaze fell on his blood-stained black robe. She stole a glance at him and saw that he had turned his head away. She immediately took his black robe and left the room.
Upon arriving in the backyard, she first washed her own clothes.
Then, he began to wash his black robe carefully.
I don't know how much time passed.
Just as Luo Qingchen was feeling the effects of the medicine and becoming drowsy, the door was pushed open a crack.
Then, A-Yao's voice rang out in a low voice: "Master, Master is really in Senior Sister's room, and he's even sleeping in bed with her. It seems like neither of them is wearing any clothes."
Luo Qingchen opened her eyes.
Just then, Chen Ya's voice suddenly came from the backyard: "A Yao, if you keep talking nonsense, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
As she spoke, Chen Ya's footsteps entered the house from the backyard.
Ah Yao exclaimed in surprise, "Ah, Senior Sister, why are you up? Weren't you lying in bed? Didn't you sleep with Master? Ah, it hurts!"
Chen Ya seemed to be pinching her face.
Then, he immediately said to Bai Tang, "Master, Master is injured. He has three serious wounds. Please go and take a look."
O
Upon hearing this, A Yao immediately ran into the room.
Chen Ya went to get the first-aid kit and went into the room.
After a moment, Bai Tangfang walked in unhurriedly and asked, "Where are you hurt?"
Luo Qingchen turned to look at her and said, "Senior Sister Bai, the injury to your waist is the most serious. It was caused by a spear. The wound may need to be stitched up."
Bai Tang didn't say anything more. She walked to the bedside and began to unwrap the gauze around his waist.
Ayao quickly moved a stool and placed it behind her, saying, "Master, please sit down."
Chen Ya then opened the window and lit the oil lamp.
When all the gauze on her waist was removed, revealing the horrifying, bloody wound, A-Yao was immediately startled and exclaimed, "Master! Your kidney has been removed?"
Chen Ya, standing to the side: "————"
Luo Qingchen glared at her, and just as she was about to speak, a sharp pain suddenly shot through her wound.
Bai Tang extended a slender finger, pressed it next to the wound, and then said, "The kidney is still there."
Luo Qingchen hissed and asked, "Senior Sister, can it be stitched up?"
Bai Tang didn't answer. After carefully examining the wound, she said, "A Yao, get the needle and thread. Chen Ya, bring the oil lamp."
Ayao and Chen Ya immediately agreed and brought over all the items.
Bai Tang picked up a silver needle with two slender fingers, heated it over the flame, threaded it through the fire, examined the wound carefully for a few moments, and then looked at him and asked, "Are you afraid of pain?"
Luo Qingchen said, "I'm not afraid."
Bai Tang didn't say anything more. She put down the silver needles, picked up the bamboo gloves from the medicine box, and put them on.
Then, he picked up the scissors.
Upon seeing this, Luo Qingchen quickly asked, "Senior Sister, what are you doing?"
Bai Tang said calmly, "The flesh inside the wound has been damaged by the corpse energy from the spear tip and has rotted away. It needs to be completely cut away. Only then can it heal faster after being stitched up. Of course, it can also be stitched up directly, but whether it can heal completely in that case depends on your own constitution."
"Corpse aura?"
Luo Qingchen's expression changed slightly.
Bai Tang said, "He should be from Hundred Corpse Peak, right? The tip of his spear has been embedded in the corpse, so it's been tainted with the corpse's aura, making it even more lethal."
Luo Qingchen looked at her, about to speak, when she saw the scissors in her hand suddenly pierce the wound without warning, and with a "snip," cut off a piece of rotten flesh.
A terrifying, intense pain made him shudder violently, almost jumping out of bed.
He was about to open his mouth wide and make a sound, but he immediately held back.
He gripped the sheets tightly with both hands, his face turning deathly pale, and sweat beading on his forehead.
He gritted his teeth and tried his best to endure it, but his body was trembling uncontrollably.
Bai Tang looked at him and asked, "Does it hurt a lot?"
Luo Qingchen shook her head and said, "Senior sister, please continue. I can hold back."
Standing by the bed, Ayao looked at his appearance and burst into tears.
Chen Ya's face was also deathly pale.
Bai Tang raised the blood-stained scissors in her hand, looked at him, and said, "If I use any more force, your kidney will be gone, or you'll be dead. Are you sure you want me to continue?"
Luo Qingchen gripped the bedsheet tightly, closed her eyes, and felt the blood streaming from her wounds. She said, "Senior Sister, if you wanted to kill me, you wouldn't have waited until now. If I didn't trust you, I wouldn't have come here."
Bai Tang didn't say anything more, and then inserted the scissors into the wound again.
After cutting away several pieces of rotten flesh, she picked up a needle and thread and began to sew.
After stitching, a layer of hemostatic medicine was applied, followed by a thick layer of wound medicine, and then it was re-bandaged with gauze.
As for the wounds on my shoulder and arm, they are much easier to treat.
That area isn't near the internal organs, so you can cut it out at will.
After all the wounds were treated, the bed sheet beneath Luo Qingchen was torn, and her body was soaked with sweat.
But he remained completely silent.
He seemed to lose all his strength all at once, and his whole body immediately went limp.
Bai Tang slowly removed her blood-soaked gloves, stared at his pale face for a while, and suddenly asked, "I really want to know, why would someone like you trust a strange woman? Is it because of A Yao?"
The two were indeed not very familiar with each other; "strangers" would be an apt description.
Luo Qingchen slowly opened her eyes, and the image of the pure white figure that appeared in the black forest floated into her mind.
She was holding the black flower in her arms.
She gently wiped away the black grime from the petals and carefully cleaned the black soil from the stems and leaves.
In this dark, cannibalistic world where everyone lives in constant fear, she cherishes a flower stained with black.
He didn't answer, then slowly closed his eyes and soon fell asleep.
When he woke up, it was already dark.
Beneath her was a soft little bed, and in the air she smelled the delicate fragrance of a young girl mixed with a faint scent of medicine.
An oil lamp was lit on the table.
The dim light was like his bumpy fate, which would sway and waver at the slightest breeze.
It might even go out completely.
He lay there with his eyes open in the darkness, enjoying the rare tranquility.
Two girls could be heard talking in hushed tones outside the door.
"Senior sister, don't be shy, go in and sleep with Master. If Master needs anything tonight, you'll know immediately."
"you go!"
"Hey, senior sister, haven't you been longing to sleep with Master all this time? You even dreamt about Master last night, and you kept crying out—Ah, it hurts! Senior sister, I was wrong—"
"If you keep talking nonsense, I'll pinch your mouth shut!"
"Senior sister, I won't talk nonsense anymore. Since you're too embarrassed, I'll go in then."
"You dare! This is my room, you're not allowed in! Besides, you have a scar on your face, if the owner wakes up at night and sees it, he'll definitely be shocked."
"Hmph! By the way, Senior Sister, that little boy has been saved by Master. Master is so amazing, and so is Master! Did you know? The last bit of demonic beast blood was brought by Master! And also, Senior Sister, didn't you notice? Master trusts Master, and Master trusts Master. Two days ago, Master knew that Master would bring demonic beast blood today."
How did you know?
"Even a fool knows that, doesn't Senior Sister know? Ah! It hurts—Senior Sister, have mercy!"
The two joked around for a while before going into the next room together.
Luo Qingchen lay in bed for a while before carefully getting up and gently touching the wound on her waist.
Whether it was due to Senior Sister Bai's superb medical skills or his own golden constitution, the pain in his wound has been greatly relieved.
Last time, and this time.
That Senior Sister Bai saved him twice.
If he hadn't come here this time, he might never have known that the wound still contained the remnants of corpses and rotten flesh.
Unexpectedly, Zhang Duanyang's gun was also poisoned.
He moved to the door, slowly opened it, and went out.
The lights were still on at the counter in front.
He supported his back and walked over step by step.
Inside the counter, Bai Tang, dressed in a plain white dress, sat quietly alone, flipping through books.
The dim light shone on her cheeks, making her cool and beautiful face appear exceptionally soft at that moment.
"Senior Sister Bai, still awake?"
He walked over and stood in front of the counter looking at her.
I have so many words of gratitude in my heart, but at this moment, I don't know how to express them.
Bai Tang raised her head, looked at him, and said, "I have something to ask you."
Luo Qingchen said, "Senior Sister, please ask."
Bai Tang raised the book in her hand and said, "This book, did you give it to Chen Ya?"
Luo Qingchen was taken aback and looked at the book cover.
The cover featured a lifelike nude illustration of a man and a woman, with the words "Eighty-One Forms of Union" written next to it.
"I found it under your pillow when you were sleeping."
"9
Bai Tang put the book away, flipped it open again, and said, "Under the pillow, there's her undergarment and a portrait. The portrait is of you, and it has your name written on it."
Luo Qingchen immediately denied it: "It wasn't me."
Bai Tang looked up at him and said, "The book says that to cultivate this kind of technique, it's best to draw a portrait of the opposite sex that you like the most. Then, while cultivating, think about him. Of course, it's best to cultivate with him; the cultivation speed will be faster, and there will be no bottlenecks in breaking through."
Luo Qingchen frowned, thought carefully for a moment, and asked, "Does Senior Sister know which peak her previous master was from?"
Bai Tang said, "You don't need to make excuses, she's a woman."
Luo Qingchen said, "I'm not making excuses. If I gave it to her, I will admit it. Women can do that, don't you know that, Senior Sister?"
Bai Tang stared at him for a while, then asked, "Have you seen him before?"
Luo Qingchen said, "I've heard of it."
He then added, "Between men and women, between men, and between women, all of these are acceptable. Even those who aren't disciples of the Demon-Slaying Sect should know this, right?"
Bai Tang paused for a moment, then looked back at the book in her hand.
Luo Qingchen looked at her strangely: "Does Senior Sister really not know?"
Bai Tang flipped through the book and said calmly, "Of course I know. I just feel that this book was given to her by you."
Luo Qingchen said, "We can call her out and question her."
Bai Tang said, "There's no need, and she won't say. I was just asking casually; whether it's you or not is irrelevant."
She then looked at him and said, "What's wrong? Are you bothered by what other people think?"
Luo Qingchen said, "I just don't want to be wronged."
For some reason, upon hearing these words, a ripple seemed to stir in Bai Tang's usually calm and indifferent eyes. She said, "Once you get used to it, you'll realize it's nothing."
Luo Qingchen stared at her for a while, then suddenly asked, "Senior Sister Bai, I heard you came down from up there. Before—"
"Which mountain peak? Why did you come down?"
Bai Tang didn't answer or pay him any more attention, and continued to look down at the book in her hands.
Luo Qingchen glanced at her again, then stopped bothering her and prepared to leave.
After taking a few steps, he hesitated for a moment, then took out the two books, "Yin Yang Qian Kun Bao Dian" and "Yin Yang Deng Tong Shu," from his storage bag, returned to her, and placed them in front of her, saying, "If you like them, Senior Sister, I have two more here."
Bai Tang was startled and looked up at him.
"I found it."
Luo Qingchen said one sentence and then left.
He didn't care what the other person thought.
The other party saved him twice, and now seems to like this kind of martial arts technique. He just happens to have two copies on him, so he might as well consider it a reward.
Back in the room.
I lay down on the bed, opened my eyes and thought about things for a while, then quickly closed my eyes and fell asleep again.
The effects of the medication on the wound are still lasting.
In a hazy state, he suddenly felt as if a figure was squatting beside the bed, its breath slowly landing on his face.
He quietly clenched his fist under the covers.
But the next second, a soft pair of lips suddenly and gently kissed his cheek.
A touch of coolness, a wisp of fragrance.
Then, she quietly left.
After the door closed gently, Luo Qingchen slowly opened her eyes, raised her hand to wipe the trace of coldness still remaining on her lips, and secretly became wary: Could it be that the girl saw that I was cultivating quickly, so she secretly practiced that kind of technique, and then wanted to drain me dry?
By this time, the sky outside the window was already beginning to lighten.
He dared not sleep any longer, so he immediately got up, dressed, and left the room.
The wounds on his body look like they are healing very quickly.
Yesterday, when I got out of bed and walked around, it was still very painful, but today, the pain has lessened a lot.
"Master! You woke up so early? Are you feeling better?"
At this moment, Ayao, who had gotten up early, came over from the backyard. When she saw him, her face lit up with surprise and delight.
Luo Qingchen said, "Go open the door."
Ayao was stunned for a moment, then quickly went over and opened the door of the pharmacy, turning around and saying, "Master, you—"
"I'm leaving."
Luo Qingchen walked right past her, exited the pharmacy, and headed towards the town center.
Ayao stood at the door, staring blankly at him, not quite able to react for a moment.
"Senior Brother Luo!"
Luo Qingchen had only walked a short distance when Wang Fu, the manager of Yaoren Town, suddenly rushed over from the open road. Upon seeing him, he quickly said, "A message came from above, instructing you to go up to Yi as soon as possible, saying there is a mission to be assigned."
"Task assignment?"
His eyes flashed, and he suddenly sensed a dangerous aura.
If this were truly the first mission for a disciple of the Banana Nourishing Spirit Realm, they would never have rushed to Yaoren Town to inform him, nor would they have said something so forceful as "You must join us."
Because each new core disciple's first task has a one-month time limit.
You can accept the assignment whenever you want, as long as it doesn't exceed one month after the assignment is completed.
It seems that someone is already impatient and wants to take his life.
"Who came down to take charge?"
He asked the question.
Wang Fu said, "It was Zhang Dong from your Black Phoenix Peak. He said it was Steward Wei Changsong who personally gave the order."
"Wei Changsong?"
Upon hearing the name "Banana" in Luo Qingchen's mind, Wu Ke recalled the words that his senior brother Yang had reminded him of, and he immediately understood.
That Deacon Wei has a close relationship with Qiu Ye, and I guess he just hasn't found an opportunity to target him.
Now, Ying Pi has colluded with Zhang Duanyang, and knowing that he was seriously injured, Wu Ke came to force him to go down the mountain to his death.
"Senior Brother Luo, something feels off."
Wang Jing seemed to have noticed the inconsistency as well, and a look of worry immediately appeared on his face.
Luo Qingchen remained calm and said, "It's alright, I'll go up and take a look first."
Wang Fu sighed, but he didn't know how Pi could help him.
He naturally knew that the life-and-death struggle among the disciples above was even more intense and dangerous in Xiangyaoren Town.
It does not stop at the disciples.
There are times when there are conflicts between the platoon leader and his disciples, or between the master and his disciples.
Because every disciple may become an elder, or even a master.
Luo Qingchen didn't say anything. After bidding farewell to Wang Fu, he stepped onto the stone steps leading back to the sect alone.
Medicine Man Town cannot be suppressed.
Even if the rules allowed it, he couldn't stay there.
Otherwise, it will implicate Senior Sister Bai and the others.
Now, he needs to return to the sect first to see what task he has been assigned and to find out what that Deacon Wei is up to.
Then, they would look for a new place to settle down.
As for where to find a new place to stay, he had already thought of a good one.
Zhang Duanyang would absolutely not dare to go to that place!
If Zhen can hold on for a few more days and recover from his injuries, he can continue hunting in the Monster Forest.
This time, he wanted to take them by surprise and sneak up on them.
Other cultivators are afraid of magical beasts and need to team up, but he is not afraid, so whether it is day or night, he can return quickly.
The fewer people who know, the less likely it is to be exposed.
Bathing in gilded blood and battling magical beasts will allow him to cultivate at an alarming rate.
He believed that he would soon achieve a breakthrough!
At that time —
"Junior Brother Luo!"
As soon as he reached Black Phoenix Peak, someone was already waiting for him on the black stone bridge.
