After Transmigrating Into a Pirated Novel to Teach Them a Lesson - Chapter 20

The two walked forward side by side. Ciyin City was indeed very lively. Fu Chenxue had dealt with the demonic cultivator, so she was in a good mood. The only thing was that the system had not notified her of any progress in defeating the pirated-novel world. Fu Chenxue guessed it might be because the villain had not completely died yet. Once they went back and dealt with him, it should be fine.

Liu Changning held Fu Chenxue’s hand and said softly, “Master, when I fell down the stairs just now, my arm hurt a lot.”

The moment Fu Chenxue heard this, she quickly brought Liu Changning to a quiet corner, rolled up her sleeve, and lowered her head. Sure enough, she saw that the skin there had been scraped, red and swollen.

Fu Chenxue said in distress, “Master happened to bring Clear Dream Brew. Later, we’ll find an inn to rest. After you drink the Clear Dream Brew, sleep properly, and Master will treat the injury on your arm.”

This was exactly what Liu Changning wanted. She quickly nodded and hung herself on Fu Chenxue. “Then let’s hurry and find an inn, Master.”

Fu Chenxue did not suspect anything. She had originally wanted to take Liu Changning to buy clothes and delicious food, but she gave up on that now. They chose the nearest inn and asked the owner for a superior room. Then Fu Chenxue supported Liu Changning inside.

After entering the room, Liu Changning lay down on the bed. Fu Chenxue took out the Clear Dream Brew and handed it to her, saying warmly, “Drink it quickly. After drinking it, sleep obediently.”

When Liu Changning heard Fu Chenxue take out the Clear Dream Brew so quickly, she felt a little unwilling. She only wanted to lie down together with Master. If she really fell asleep, wouldn’t she be unable to hug Master?

So she turned over. “Wait a little longer…”

Fu Chenxue, with the professional attitude of a medical cultivator, only wanted to quickly help her apply medicine. She pulled Liu Changning up. “Be good.”

Liu Changning could only sit up obediently. She wanted to talk to Fu Chenxue and did not want to drink any Clear Dream Brew, so she softly looked for a topic. “Master, when do you think my eyes will recover?”

Fu Chenxue calculated it. According to the system, the Soul Infant Seven-Leaf Flower in the Shaoqing Island secret realm could heal Liu Changning’s eye injury. But that secret realm would only open five years later. Two years had already passed, so they still had to wait another three years.

But seeing Liu Changning’s expectant appearance, Fu Chenxue could not bear to tell the truth. She could only rub her fluffy head. “Once we return to the Yubing Sect, Master will look through ancient books and search for a way to heal your injury, all right?”

Liu Changning hummed gently and hugged Fu Chenxue’s waist. “I haven’t returned to the Yubing Sect in a long time, Master.”

Fu Chenxue stroked her back. “Master knows. Your legs are already healed now. When the time comes, we’ll ride a flying artifact back.”

Liu Changning nodded, then suddenly seemed to remember something. “Right, Master. Didn’t Immortal Master Ye say she could take a look at my eyes? Maybe she has a good method. When we go back to the medicine temple, can we ask her to take a look?”

Fu Chenxue suddenly choked when she heard this.

Let Ye Luofeng look?

No. If Ye Luofeng discovered that Liu Changning’s eyes were so similar to hers, who knew what bizarre situation might happen? That day, when Fu Chenxue heard all of Ye Luofeng’s descriptions, she felt that the original owner had definitely been a complete simp in front of Ye Luofeng. Crying, making a scene, threatening to die, insisting Ye Luofeng stay and become her Dao companion—Fu Chenxue still got goosebumps just thinking about it.

But if she did not let Ye Luofeng look… she could not explain it to Liu Changning either.

Fu Chenxue was very conflicted.

After not getting a response for a long while, Liu Changning tugged at Fu Chenxue’s sleeve and asked cautiously, “Does Master… not want me to be seen by other people?”

Fu Chenxue suddenly had an idea. She said, “Master is worried that if others know you are blind, they might harm you. So it’s better not to take it off. Let others think this is a defensive artifact.”

Liu Changning looked obedient. “I understand.”

Fu Chenxue breathed a sigh of relief. In any case, even if Ye Luofeng looked, she would not be able to cure it, and it would bring a whole pile of trouble. Better forget it.

But speaking of defensive artifacts, Fu Chenxue remembered how Liu Changning had accidentally fallen down the stairs today and gotten entangled with that demonic cultivator. She raised her hand and took off her own magical robe, draping it over Liu Changning.

“Master?” Liu Changning felt an extra layer of clothing on her body and was somewhat surprised.

Fu Chenxue said, “This is Master’s defensive magical robe. Once you wear it, ordinary little spells won’t be able to hurt you.” Then she formed a shrinking-clothes spell, and the robe became much more fitted.

Liu Changning’s cheeks flushed slightly. “Thank you, Master.” Then she asked, “Master gave me her defensive magical robe. What about Master?”

Fu Chenxue did not care much. “Master will be fine. I’m just afraid something might happen to you. Although Master dealt with that demonic cultivator today, what if one day Master happens not to be by your side and you encounter the same kind of thing again?”

Previously, it was precisely because Liu Changning had been too kind-hearted that she had been tricked into going to the Demon Realm. Whenever Fu Chenxue could not sleep at night, she would always worry deeply about this matter.

As someone who had transmigrated into a book, Fu Chenxue would still have to receive her death ending later. If Liu Changning could not protect herself, or if she could not build up a good sense of caution, Fu Chenxue would not be able to leave in peace.

Liu Changning tilted her head and seemed to frown too. “Master, then what should I do?”

Fu Chenxue sat beside Liu Changning. “Master still hopes you can cultivate to Foundation Establishment as soon as possible.”

Liu Changning smiled gently. “So it was for this matter. Master doesn’t need to worry. After cultivating during this past period, I already vaguely feel that I’m about to break through. My advancement should be in the next few days.”

Fu Chenxue’s eyes lit up. “Really?”

Liu Changning curved her lips downward, shrank into Fu Chenxue’s arms, and said softly, “Of course it’s true. Does Master not believe me?”

Fu Chenxue felt that Liu Changning was becoming more and more obedient, and better and better at acting spoiled. She pinched her cheek. “Master definitely believes you. Then in a few days, Master will prepare more pills for advancing to Foundation Establishment.”

Liu Changning happily agreed, then began absentmindedly playing with Fu Chenxue’s hair again. “By the way, Master, that demonic cultivator screamed so miserably today. How did Master injure him?”

Fu Chenxue thought of what had happened in the teahouse and hesitated slightly.

Although that demonic cultivator was not completely dead yet, he would not survive.

At that time, when Fu Chenxue saw the memories in his sea of consciousness, she only wanted him to pay the most miserable price. The original owner was a medical cultivator and had previously cultivated the path of music. Twilight Sky Cold could control all kinds of gu worms through the sound of the xiao, which was why Fu Chenxue had used that move.

Her original intention had been to make those worms bite off the demonic cultivator’s legs so he would never be able to walk again in this life. But a demonic cultivator’s blood was simply too filthy and difficult to clean, so she could only bring him back to the medicine temple first.

Now that Liu Changning was asking, Fu Chenxue was still torn over whether to tell her.

If she told her, Liu Changning would definitely be very afraid. She had to properly protect such a kind little disciple. But if she did not tell her, Fu Chenxue would feel that she was letting her down.

After thinking for a long time, Fu Chenxue still decided to tell the truth. “Twilight Sky Cold can control gu worms. Half of that demonic cultivator’s arm has already been eaten by the worms.”

When Liu Changning heard this, she immediately hugged Fu Chenxue in fear, burying her face in her neck as she exclaimed, “Really? Then does that mean he has no hand anymore?”

Fu Chenxue gave a soft hum and stroked Liu Changning’s hair. “Those gu worms are called Spring-Toothed Bugs. Although demonic cultivator blood is filthy, Spring-Toothed Bugs like it very much. They can be considered a strange kind among gu worms.”

Liu Changning raised the corners of her lips excitedly, but her voice remained small and soft. “He must feel awful without his hand. Was the scene very miserable?”

Fu Chenxue answered, “The scene… I won’t describe it. It was quite disgusting. Master didn’t want to use such a disgusting method to deal with him either. But he tortured you like that before, so Master felt that he had to die.”

Liu Changning smiled sweetly in her arms. “Mm. Demonic cultivators are disgusting.”
