After Transmigrating Into a Pirated Novel to Teach Them a Lesson - Chapter 13
Liu Changning had listened to the back-and-forth conversation between the two of them just now, and for some reason, she felt uncomfortable. Her mood was not very high either. Only when she heard her master introduce her did she reluctantly gather her spirits and respond perfunctorily, “Junior Liu Changning greets Immortal Master Ye.”
Ye Luofeng looked at Liu Changning. Although her figure was thin and slender, her appearance was exceptionally beautiful. Her skin was like white jade, and her hair fell like a waterfall. Standing beside Fu Chenxue, she did not lose even a bit of elegance.
It was only that a strip of white silk covered her eyes, hiding those damp, jade-like eyes.
“Is this the disciple you mentioned to me? She does look very obedient.” Ye Luofeng praised her generously, then said, “I heard Chenxue say before that your eyes were poisoned. I’m also a medical cultivator, so let me take a look—”
After saying this, she reached out to untie the white silk over Liu Changning’s eyes.
Fu Chenxue’s heart leapt in fright. She quickly used her jade xiao to block Ye Luofeng’s hand. At the same time, she smiled awkwardly and hid Liu Changning behind her. “It’s not convenient here. When there’s a chance… let’s look another time.”
What a joke. If Ye Luofeng discovered that Liu Changning’s eyes looked just like hers, she would definitely guess that the original owner had treated Liu Changning as a stand-in. That would be terrible.
Now that Fu Chenxue had transmigrated into Fu Chenxue, she did not want to take the blame for this.
Ye Luofeng looked around and said, “That’s true. These are all ordinary people here. Why don’t you and your disciple come to my place first?”
“This…” Fu Chenxue looked troubled. “I’m afraid that wouldn’t be convenient.”
Ye Luofeng took out a storage artifact, threw the demonic cultivator’s corpse inside, and cast a cleaning spell. “There’s nothing inconvenient about it. My disciples all happen to be out, so there’s no one in the medicine temple.”
“I captured a demonic cultivator from the Demon Realm’s Ghost Altar and was just about to bring him back…”
The Demon Realm’s Ghost Altar?
When Liu Changning heard those four words, the heartstrings that had originally been calm were stirred. She smiled faintly and advised, “Master, Immortal Master Ye is also acting out of kindness. We don’t have anything to do anyway, so let’s go.”
Fu Chenxue dawdled for a while. Seeing that Liu Changning seemed to want to go as well, she could only say, “Then… all right.”
Ye Luofeng swiftly and cleanly finished packing up. She brought the two of them onto a flying artifact and flew toward the medicine temple several li away.
Ye Luofeng sat in front, while Fu Chenxue and Liu Changning sat behind. Clouds and mist surrounded the three of them, and the sound of rushing wind filled their ears. Liu Changning could not see, so naturally she did not know what the scenery below looked like. She hugged Fu Chenxue and whispered, “Master.”
“What’s wrong?” Seeing her shrink into her arms, Fu Chenxue thought the flying artifact was moving too quickly and Liu Changning was afraid.
She patted Liu Changning’s hand comfortingly. “It’s fine. We’ll be there soon.”
The three flew for about fifteen minutes before layers of thick fog suddenly appeared before them. Fu Chenxue knew this was a barrier. She guessed that Qingxi Town was probably the only small town located at the intersection of the human realm, immortal realm, and demon realm. Otherwise, cultivators and demons would not be passing through.
However, Qingxi Town had also been peaceful for thousands of years. It was probably because it was too small and shabby, so no one cared about this place.
When they broke through the barrier, Fu Chenxue felt as if a rain had fallen from the sky, soaking her entire body in a cool sensation. Even her spiritual energy became abundant.
They had arrived in the cultivation world.
[System: Reminder. This cultivation world is not entirely a world constructed by you.]
Fu Chenxue understood. There were other pirated works in this world too. They must have been merged together.
The three arrived at the medicine temple. Fu Chenxue and Liu Changning followed Ye Luofeng off the flying artifact and pushed open the vermilion gate.
All of Ye Luofeng’s disciples had gone out. Ye Luofeng led the two of them inside. Fu Chenxue saw a very large alchemy furnace, with quite a bit of dust beside it. When she turned to look at the table, there were all kinds of pills and spiritual plants, with talismans pasted on them to prevent people from taking the wrong thing.
Then they followed Ye Luofeng into the ice cellar. Along the way, Fu Chenxue kept holding Liu Changning’s hand, afraid that she would get lost.
The ice cellar was extremely cold, as if they had stepped into the depths of winter. Even the air had condensed into cold mist.
Ye Luofeng took out the demonic cultivator’s corpse and casually threw it onto the ice bed. Then she took several medicine bottles out of her sleeve.
Fu Chenxue did not understand. “Why did you bring the demonic cultivator’s corpse back?”
Ye Luofeng explained, “The blood of demons is very filthy. I was afraid that if I dealt with it in Qingxi Town, there would be a strange smell and it would cause trouble for the people there, so I brought it back to handle it.”
“So that’s how it is.” Fu Chenxue nodded. “Right, I haven’t asked you yet. How did you encounter a demonic cultivator today?”
Ye Luofeng paused what she was doing. “Today was a coincidence. I usually go to Qingxi Town every few months to buy some daily necessities and the like. After all, the things sold in our cultivation world casually cost several hundred spirit stones. They’re too expensive.”
Fu Chenxue sighed inwardly. One of the far-renowned “Two Immortals of Wind and Snow” was actually someone so diligent and frugal.
But Ye Luofeng had no sect. She lived alone and had a group of little disciples with her, so she really did need to save a bit.
“In the end, I ran into a demonic cultivator from the Ghost Altar on the road. I originally didn’t want to meddle, but who knew that after he saw the sword I carried with me, he actually wanted to steal it. I had no choice but to kill him.” Ye Luofeng said this as if it were only natural.
Although Ye Luofeng was a medical cultivator, she treasured her sword dearly.
Fu Chenxue indicated that she understood.
While the two of them were talking, neither of them noticed Liu Changning, nor did they think that Liu Changning would walk close to the ice bed.
Ever since Liu Changning entered the ice cellar, her emotions had been stirring. She stood beside the corpse and did not speak for a long time.
Actually, the moment she heard the words “Ghost Altar” in the market, her heart had already become unsettled.
Her heart seemed like dry, cracked soil. Some strange emotion slowly stretched its roots out from within, then finally broke through the surface.
After confirming that Master and Ye Luofeng were still talking, and confirming that there was demonic energy on the corpse lying on the ice bed, she turned her head and slowly took out a small bottle from her sleeve.
The corners of Liu Changning’s lips curved into a beautiful arc. She gently shook the bottle, confirming that it was the bottle of poison she had memorized.
Someone from the Ghost Altar…
Then perhaps he had been one of the participants in the Demon Realm’s water prison.
The moment she thought of this, Liu Changning became unbearably excited. She could not control the urge to gouge out his eyes and break his legs.
But he was already dead. Even if she did those things, he would not feel pain.
At this thought, Liu Changning could not help feeling regretful.
But… a corpse was also easy to deal with.
She slowly pulled out the stopper.
Corpse-Severing Venom. It could torment the living, and it could also torment the dead.
Gu worms would crawl out from beneath his healthy skin, slowly, bit by bit, eating his entire head clean.
Just thinking about this made Liu Changning raise a malicious smile. She stretched out her hand and accurately dripped the first drop of poison onto the demonic cultivator’s face.
An extremely faint sizzling sound followed, like a large rat gnawing with its teeth.
Fu Chenxue and Ye Luofeng were standing far away. If one did not listen carefully, one would not hear such a sound. But Liu Changning was standing right beside the corpse, so naturally, she heard it with perfect clarity.
She heard the demonic cultivator’s face being corroded by a small patch of Corpse-Severing Venom. Black gu worms began slowly crawling out from within, rustling as they seemed to gnaw inch by inch at the skin on his face. The places that had been eaten rotten spread with several bloody lines, flowing down his cheek to the side of his neck.
Liu Changning was extremely happy.
She took a step back and gently tilted the bottle again.
The second drop. The third drop…
Slowly torturing him.
Liu Changning’s fingertips trembled slightly, and her breathing rose and fell.
She wanted so badly to see with her own eyes what this demonic cultivator looked like being corroded by the gu worms, what he looked like with gu worms crawling all over his face, and even what he looked like when only a white-boned skull remained after being devoured.
It would definitely be beautiful.
Thinking this, Liu Changning suddenly, with a wicked sense of delight, poured the entire bottle of Corpse-Severing Venom onto his face.
The rustling grew louder and louder. In less than five seconds, the demonic cultivator’s face was completely covered by gu worms. His skin began to cave in. Because his eyelids had been eaten away, his horrifying eyeballs suddenly protruded, like a ridiculous ornament in a pool of blood.
Liu Changning was very satisfied. She felt that this was about enough, and she could stop.
She glanced toward Fu Chenxue, who was still talking, then took two steps back. Suddenly, she “accidentally” knocked over the medicine bottle, fell to the ground, and called out to Fu Chenxue in grievance, “Master, Master…”
Fu Chenxue was still talking to Ye Luofeng. She had gotten a little absorbed in the conversation when she suddenly heard the system’s notification:
