After Transmigrating Into a Pirated Novel to Teach Them a Lesson - Chapter 14

When Fu Chenxue turned her head, she saw Liu Changning sitting fallen on the ground, her face deathly pale and her lips trembling. Beside her, a small porcelain bottle was rolling around.

“Changning!” Fu Chenxue blamed herself for only focusing on talking to Ye Luofeng and forgetting about the blind Liu Changning. She quickly went over and pulled Liu Changning up in distress, looking her over from left to right. “Are you all right? Did you hurt yourself?”

Liu Changning shook her head miserably and murmured, “Master, I accidentally knocked over the Corpse-Severing Venom.”

Ye Luofeng also came over after hearing this. She picked up the small bottle from the ground and asked doubtfully, “Corpse-Severing Venom?” Then she turned her head to look at the ice bed. The demonic cultivator’s corpse had already become a tragic sight. His entire face had been destroyed cleanly by gu worms, yet the worms still seemed unsatisfied and had begun crawling toward his internal organs. By now, a large hole had been gnawed into his chest, revealing eerie white bones.

“Chenxue, why did you let your disciple hold something so dangerous?” With a wave of Ye Luofeng’s hand, she sent the medicine bottle back into Fu Chenxue’s hand.

Fu Chenxue took the bottle. She also found it strange. The Corpse-Severing Venom should clearly have been inside her Qiankun pouch. When had it ended up in Liu Changning’s hands again?

But she had no time to think about it carefully. She only felt that her poor little disciple had been frightened badly. Liu Changning had probably heard all kinds of rustling insect sounds, and her master had not been by her side, so she must have been terrified.

Liu Changning lowered her head. “I’m sorry, Immortal Master Ye. I accidentally ruined the corpse.”

Seeing the mess, Fu Chenxue also apologized. “Sorry. My disciple may have taken the wrong medicine bottle.”

“It’s fine. I brought it back precisely to deal with the corpse.” Ye Luofeng waved her hand, not caring much. “I originally planned to use another method to make the blood smell less foul and fishy. The Corpse-Severing Venom she accidentally spilled can solve the problem too. It’s just a little cruel… Of course, she didn’t do it on purpose. It’s good that she wasn’t hurt.”

Fu Chenxue knew that as a wandering cultivator, Ye Luofeng did not care much about the righteous sects, and she cared even less about demons. In one sentence: whether someone was demonic or immortal, as long as they did not provoke her, she mostly could not be bothered with them.

Fu Chenxue said to Ye Luofeng, “I’ll clean this up. Sorry for causing you trouble…”

After saying this, she was about to handle it herself. Liu Changning panicked and quickly pulled her back. “Master, demonic cultivators’ blood is so filthy. Don’t touch it. Let me do it.”

“You can’t even see. How are you going to clean it up?” Fu Chenxue patted her head and smiled. “Your master will do it.”

“Neither of you needs to do anything. I’ll handle it myself,” Ye Luofeng said. “You two go rest first. I’ll come find you in a while.”

Fu Chenxue could only give up. She hummed in acknowledgment and brought Liu Changning out.

After the two left the ice cellar, Ye Luofeng turned back to clean up the corpse. She was just about to pack it up and throw it into the corpse-burning furnace when, as she lowered her head, she suddenly saw that the bones of the demonic cultivator’s face had been burned full of holes.

Ye Luofeng knew a fair bit about poison manuals. Seeing this, she could not help frowning.

This Corpse-Severing Venom seemed to have been dripped on drop by drop, not poured all at once.

Ye Luofeng found it a little strange, but when she thought of how frightened Liu Changning had looked just now, she felt that she was overthinking it.

It was probably just that Chenxue’s disciple had played with the Corpse-Severing Venom and lost control of it. She did not dare tell her master the truth, so she told a small lie.

Fu Chenxue brought Liu Changning to sit beneath a peach blossom tree. She stroked Liu Changning’s back and asked with concern, “Were you frightened?”

Liu Changning shrank into her arms and said in grievance, “Mm.”

“Master only chatted a little more because I saw an old friend. I accidentally forgot about you.” Fu Chenxue was filled with apology. In her heart, Liu Changning was still that timid child who had hugged her in the cave. How could she have ever seen a scene like Corpse-Severing Venom being poured over a corpse?

Liu Changning hugged Fu Chenxue tightly and said fearfully, “Master can’t forget me next time.”

Fu Chenxue smiled helplessly. “I won’t, I won’t. Later, when we go to the market, Master will buy you osmanthus cake, all right?”

Liu Changning was very happy. “All right.”

After finally making Liu Changning happy again, Fu Chenxue finally breathed a sigh of relief.

No, in the future, she had to protect Liu Changning properly. She could not let her see or hear frightening scenes again. Otherwise, what would she do if this young, fragile heart was hurt again?

However, there was also good news today. Liu Changning had accidentally knocked over the Corpse-Severing Venom, yet the system had instead reminded her that satisfaction had increased and that the pirated-novel world had been defeated by 15%.

Fu Chenxue thought happily that as long as she kept completing missions and restoring the plot, the pirated plot would definitely explode in the end.

But Liu Changning did not know what Fu Chenxue was thinking. She lay against Fu Chenxue’s shoulder, absentmindedly playing with her hair.

That demonic cultivator’s death must have been very miserable. Perhaps not even his bones were left.

Liu Changning sighed. It would have been nice if she could see. Then she would have been even happier.

Also, Master had almost touched the demonic cultivator’s blood today. Fortunately, Liu Changning had stopped her. The moment she imagined Master’s pure, flawless fingers touching something so filthy, Liu Changning felt uncomfortable all over.

A demonic cultivator’s blood had once been poured into her eyes. For a time, she had been so disgusted that she had not even wanted to open them.

She absolutely could not allow Master to have any connection with such filthy things as demonic cultivators.

Absolutely not…

Fu Chenxue suddenly sneezed.

Liu Changning raised her head and asked nervously, “What’s wrong, Master? Is it too cold outside?”

Fu Chenxue also did not know what was going on. She said, “Maybe.”

“Then let’s hurry back to the room.” Liu Changning got off Fu Chenxue. “Are we going back to the Jade Stone Cave Residence tonight?”

Fu Chenxue said, “Either is fine. It’s up to you.”

“Then let’s go back.” Liu Changning hugged Fu Chenxue’s arm and acted spoiled. “I still like being alone with Master.”

“Are you your master’s pendant? Hanging on your master every day.” Fu Chenxue was helpless. “Let’s go see if Immortal Master Ye needs help with anything. You got into trouble in the ice cellar just now. You’re not allowed to do that again.”

Liu Changning revealed a gentle smile. “I know.”

Seeing Liu Changning smile so brightly, Fu Chenxue could not help thinking she was adorable and rubbed her fluffy hair again. “Changning is so obedient.”

Liu Changning felt extremely comfortable in her heart. She followed Fu Chenxue back to the room and asked along the way, “By the way, Master said just now that Immortal Master Ye is your old friend. Have you known her for a long time?”

Fu Chenxue said, “We have known each other for a long time.”

Liu Changning gave an “oh.” “Did you know her before you accepted me as your disciple?”

“Mm.” Fu Chenxue did not want to continue this topic, so she could only answer briefly. But after thinking again, Ye Luofeng might remove Liu Changning’s white silk without Fu Chenxue knowing and see her eyes, so she instructed, “Changning, don’t casually take off the white silk covering your eyes.”

Liu Changning found it strange. “Why?”

Fu Chenxue said vaguely, “Your eyes are injured. They can’t be exposed to light.”

Liu Changning nodded and said obediently, “I’ll listen to Master.”

Fu Chenxue exhaled.

She was not good at lying, especially when facing such an innocent and pure female lead. The moment Fu Chenxue thought about how she would later have to fall into demonic cultivation and let Liu Changning stab her to death with one sword, she felt utterly sinful.

But the system had said it would assist her, so there should be… nothing to worry about, right?
