After Transmigrating Into a Pirated Novel to Teach Them a Lesson - Chapter 11

The next day, Fu Chenxue was woken up by the system.

She had already been half-asleep and wanting to keep sleeping, but unexpectedly, the system’s joyful voice suddenly rang out:

[Congratulations. You have revised the pirated plot! The female lead’s legs have successfully recovered! Satisfaction +2000. The pirated-novel world has been defeated by 10%. Please keep up the good work!]

When Fu Chenxue heard this voice, she abruptly sat up.

The plot revision had succeeded? The female lead’s legs were healed?

She rubbed her eyes and realized that the person who had been lying in her arms all this time was gone.

Where had Liu Changning gone?

Fu Chenxue looked up blankly and saw Liu Changning sitting alone beside the stone table. She seemed to hear Fu Chenxue wake up and looked in her direction. “You’re awake?”

Fu Chenxue happily jumped down from the bed and asked, “Are your legs healed?”

Liu Changning froze slightly. “Mm. How did you know?”

Fu Chenxue said cheerfully, “We’ve been treating them for almost two years. It was about time they healed.”

But Liu Changning still seemed a little gloomy, as if she was not that happy. Fu Chenxue placed her hand on Liu Changning’s head and rubbed it, asking gently, “What’s wrong? Are you not happy that your legs are healed? Now that you’re better, I can take you back to the Yubing Sect.”

“You’ll take me back to the Yubing Sect?” Liu Changning caught the key point.

Last night, she had sat by the stone table and thought for the entire night. From the moment the two of them met until the way they had gotten along now, no matter how Liu Changning thought about it, she felt that the person in front of her was the master she had never truly met.

Last night, Liu Changning kept wondering: Why did she pretend not to know her? She had clearly seen what Liu Changning looked like at the disciple-recruitment ceremony. She had even praised her eyes, saying they were very beautiful, very pretty, and that she liked them very much.

Liu Changning felt wronged.

Also, on the day this person first carried her to the spiritual spring, Liu Changning had said a whole bunch of nonsense. She must have heard it and found it very funny. Maybe she had even been secretly laughing at Liu Changning in her heart.

But then Liu Changning thought about how this person had stayed with her here for almost two years.

Life in the cave residence should have been extremely dull, yet because of this person, Liu Changning no longer even wanted to return to the Yubing Sect.

She accompanied Liu Changning while she soaked in the spiritual spring. Even when Liu Changning bit her neck until it bled, she was unwilling to hurt her. She made fish porridge for her, reminding her to blow on it before drinking and not to burn her hand. She took Liu Changning to buy clothes and have a wheelchair made. At night, she would also comfort Liu Changning when she had nightmares…

Actually… Liu Changning had not yet reached Foundation Establishment. According to seniority and the rules, she truly should not have met her master. But now that she knew, there should be nothing wrong with saying it out loud, right?

Fu Chenxue did not know that Liu Changning’s heart was in chaos. She only realized that she had misspoken.

Liu Changning still did not know that Fu Chenxue was her master, but this time, Fu Chenxue clearly did not want to gloss over it anymore. Liu Changning’s legs were healed, and advancing to Foundation Establishment was only a matter of time. Fu Chenxue was afraid that if she kept dragging it out, then when Liu Changning truly discovered that she was her master, she would feel that Fu Chenxue had lied to her.

So Fu Chenxue could only answer very seriously, “Mm. I’ll take you back to the Yubing Sect.”

With white silk still covering her eyes, Liu Changning raised her head and heard Fu Chenxue’s clear and gentle voice.

“Changning, I have something I want to tell you.”

“Are you trying to talk about this?” Liu Changning took the jade xiao out of her sleeve. “This is yours.”

Fu Chenxue froze slightly when she saw the jade xiao.

Wait. Why was her Twilight Sky Cold with Liu Changning? Hadn’t she put it into her sleeve last night?

Liu Changning said gloomily, “If you tell me the truth now, I won’t be angry.”

Fu Chenxue’s heart jumped.

What did that mean? Had Liu Changning seen her Twilight Sky Cold last night? No, that was not right—she could not see. Could she have figured it out by touch?

While Fu Chenxue’s thoughts were running wild, Liu Changning saw that she was not speaking and could only continue, “Entered the Dao through music, yet is a medical cultivator.”

“A person like that… I only know one.” She stood up. Amid Fu Chenxue’s confusion, Fu Chenxue realized this child was already as tall as her eyebrows. In another few years, she would probably be about the same height as Fu Chenxue.

Liu Changning placed Twilight Sky Cold into Fu Chenxue’s open palm. “Only my master, Fu Chenxue.”

Fu Chenxue: “…”

A brief silence filled the cave residence.

Liu Changning bent down and burrowed into Fu Chenxue’s arms. The clear scent like first snow drifted over, and Liu Changning could not help curling her lips.

It was a very familiar scent. It was this person’s scent.

She could not help shrinking further into Fu Chenxue’s arms and called out a title she had not used in a long time.

“Master.”

Fu Chenxue trembled all over. Even her palms began sweating.

“Master,” Liu Changning called again. Her cheeks, originally as pale as moonflowers, flushed faintly red.

Outside, a fine drizzle was falling. The emerald-green leaf tips scattered the rainwater gathered on their surfaces down to the earth. Inside the cave, a wronged voice suddenly sounded.

“Master, stop touching it. It hurts—”

Fu Chenxue was currently checking Liu Changning’s legs.

Just now, Liu Changning had kept hugging her. Perhaps because Fu Chenxue had forgotten to respond, the child grew somewhat anxious. But she could only be anxious in vain. Because she could not see, and her legs had only just healed, she could only hug Fu Chenxue even tighter. In the end, she accidentally fell to the ground.

Seeing that she had fallen, Fu Chenxue hurriedly lifted her sideways and placed her back onto the stone bed.

“Your legs have only just recovered, and you already want to run.” Fu Chenxue took out hemostatic powder, spread it evenly, and wiped it onto Liu Changning’s reddened calf. “Did it hurt when you fell?”

Liu Changning said, “It hurt.”

“Lie here and rest for a while.” Fu Chenxue sighed helplessly and used spiritual energy to heal her. Liu Changning had not fallen badly, and under the urging of spiritual energy, the wound healed quickly. In about the time it took to drink half a cup of tea, it had recovered.

Liu Changning pulled her leg back and brought up what had just happened again. She asked, “Since Master came so early, why didn’t you tell me?”

Fu Chenxue thought for a moment and decided she should refer to herself as “your master.” She answered, “Ever since your master learned that you were missing, I intended to come out and search for you. But when I saw how strongly you resisted, I didn’t know how to explain things clearly to you, so I could only do this for the time being.”

Liu Changning froze. Master had come out specifically to find her?

“You are my only disciple. When I heard you were missing, I was very worried, so I hurried out to find you.”

Liu Changning frowned slightly in confusion. “But… wasn’t Master in closed-door cultivation?”

Fu Chenxue suddenly choked. She thought, fortunately, Liu Changning could not see what she looked like. Otherwise, since Fu Chenxue was terrible at lying, Liu Changning would have seen through her long ago.

“Closed-door cultivation is a small matter. My disciple is a major matter.”

When Liu Changning heard this, a warm feeling rose in her heart. She could not help throwing herself into Fu Chenxue’s arms. “I understand. Master came out to find me because she was worried about me.”

It was indeed worry. A character she had personally created had been ruined into this state by piracy. When Fu Chenxue first saw Liu Changning, her heart had ached terribly.

So Fu Chenxue stroked Liu Changning’s long hair and said firmly, “Yes. Demonic cultivators are hateful. Your master will definitely take you back.”

And settle the score with those people once and for all!

Hearing the words “demonic cultivators,” old hatred and pain were stirred up again in Liu Changning’s heart. She felt unwilling, but at the same time, she had no choice but to accept it. With difficulty, she said,

“But I’m only a useless person…”
