After Transmigrating Into a Pirated Novel to Teach Them a Lesson - Chapter 21

Fu Chenxue felt the person in her arms trembling slightly. She thought Liu Changning must have been frightened by what she had just said, so she quickly comforted her in a low voice, “Changning, don’t be afraid. Master won’t tell you about these things anymore.”

Liu Changning would not say that she was trembling because she was excited. She returned to her obedient appearance and stretched her arm out to Fu Chenxue, acting spoiled. “Master, I want medicine applied.”

Only then did Fu Chenxue remember that she was supposed to be treating Liu Changning. She handed the Clear Dream Brew to her again and said warmly, “Sleep for a while. Have a good dream.”

After chatting with Master, Liu Changning felt much happier. She smiled and said, “Then after Master finishes applying medicine for me, you have to lie down with me.”

“Master will stay beside you and watch over you.” Fu Chenxue sat by the bed.

Liu Changning did not say anything else. She drank the Clear Dream Brew and fell asleep as soon as her head touched the pillow.

Fu Chenxue began treating the scraped wound. Liu Changning’s skin was very delicate. Back when they were in the Jade Stone Cave Residence, whenever she accidentally bumped into something, she would always leave a red mark that would not fade for half a day.

Liu Changning was also terribly delicate. She insisted that Fu Chenxue apply medicine for her. If Fu Chenxue did not, she would even throw a little tantrum. After this happened several times, Fu Chenxue began keeping spiritual medicine for reducing swelling and pain on hand, in case Liu Changning accidentally hurt herself again one day.

Fu Chenxue gently pressed her palm against Liu Changning’s arm and slowly transferred spiritual energy over. The scraped skin quickly healed as good as new.

After finishing all this, she lay down beside Liu Changning. Listening to the female lead’s light breathing, she seemed completely unfrightened by what had happened today. Fu Chenxue thought that children really were carefree. How nice.

About half an hour later, Liu Changning woke up.

Fu Chenxue happened to be sitting by the table drinking tea. Liu Changning jumped down from the bed, found her master’s position very accurately, then reached out and hugged Fu Chenxue’s shoulders. In a clingy voice, she asked, “Why didn’t Master stay with me?”

“You were sleeping so soundly. I didn’t want to disturb you.” Fu Chenxue smiled. “Master has already healed the wound on your arm. Don’t worry, it won’t leave a scar.”

Liu Changning hummed, then said, “Master, I want to buy something tasty.”

Fu Chenxue thought, that was easy. She immediately brought Liu Changning out of the inn and said generously, “Whatever you want to eat, Master will buy it for you.”

Liu Changning blushed. “I want to eat chaoshou and candied hawthorn.”

So Fu Chenxue and Liu Changning wandered around. The two bought several skewers of candied hawthorn to hold in their hands. Then they asked the locals and learned that Yunjuan Tower had the best chaoshou. Fu Chenxue happily brought Liu Changning there.

Unfortunately, Yunjuan Tower was packed with cultivators. Fu Chenxue and Liu Changning waited in line for a long time before they finally got a seat.

Fu Chenxue poured Liu Changning a cup of tea. “After we finish eating the chaoshou, we’ll go back and find Immortal Master Ye.”

“I’ll listen to Master.” Liu Changning smiled in reply while propping up her face and paying attention to the sounds around them.

The chaoshou was soon ready, complete in color, aroma, and taste. Fu Chenxue first pushed one bowl in front of Liu Changning and said warmly, “Eat.”

After Liu Changning reached the fasting stage, she no longer ate much. But today, she had come out to play with Master. Of course, the longer she could stay with her, the better. Maybe she could even enjoy Master taking care of her.

She took the bowl of chaoshou and first tasted a mouthful of the soup. The flavor was very fresh, much like the fish soup Master made. The wrappers were thin, the filling was plentiful, and the taste was rich, fragrant, and tender. After Liu Changning finished eating, she even wanted another bowl.

Fu Chenxue also thought it tasted good. She suddenly understood why Yunjuan Tower’s chaoshou was so popular. It really was delicious. Seeing that Liu Changning seemed not quite full, she asked, “Changning, do you want more?”

Liu Changning was a little embarrassed. “No, Master.”

Fu Chenxue waved her hand. “It’s fine. We’ll order another bowl. I heard them say the spring rolls here are also quite tasty. Do you want to try them?”

After thinking for a moment, Liu Changning said shyly, “Then… Master has to eat them with me.”

Fu Chenxue smiled and rubbed her hair. “All right.”

By the time the two returned to the medicine temple, it was already evening. Ye Luofeng was giving her disciples a lesson. Seeing that the two had returned, she only nodded and told them to rest first.

Liu Changning stayed in the room alone, while Fu Chenxue went to find Ye Luofeng at ease.

She had to deal with the demonic cultivator from the teahouse.

On the way, she happened to run into Ye Luofeng’s disciple, Han Yin. Fu Chenxue had a good memory and still remembered meeting her at the carpenter shop two years ago.

When Han Yin saw Fu Chenxue, she first bowed, then asked, “Immortal Master Fu, are you going to find my master?”

Fu Chenxue said, “Yes. I have something to discuss with her.”

Han Yin scratched her head. “Master is still giving a lesson. If Immortal Master Fu has something to say, I can pass on the message.”

“It’s nothing urgent. It’s just that your master said the demonic cultivator’s corpse should be handed over to you all to deal with.”

Han Yin had probably heard Ye Luofeng mention this matter. She quickly agreed. “Immortal Master Fu, just place the demonic cultivator on the ice bed in the ice cellar. Master will bring us there in a while.”

Fu Chenxue nodded and turned toward the ice cellar.

Ye Luofeng had already finished lecturing her disciples and was tidying things in the ice cellar. Seeing Fu Chenxue come in, she called, “Chenxue.”

Fu Chenxue said, “I brought the demonic cultivator.”

Ye Luofeng put down the various spiritual herbs in her hands and casually asked, “Did you and your disciple have fun in Ciyin City today?”

Fu Chenxue took the half-dead demonic cultivator out of her Qiankun pouch and placed him on the ice bed. She answered, “It was pretty good. It’s just that she was frightened at the teahouse.”

“Frightened by this demonic cultivator?” Ye Luofeng lowered her head and looked at You Jue on the ice bed. Clearly, the demonic cultivator had already fallen unconscious.

Fu Chenxue sighed. “Yes. Do you still remember that I told you before that my disciple was poisoned with gu? At the time, you told me it might be the Demon Realm Ghost Altar’s Red-Twist Gu.”

“At the teahouse, I invaded this demonic cultivator’s sea of consciousness and saw him pour a bowl of blood into Changning’s eyes. That should have been the Red-Twist Gu…” Fu Chenxue said. “Changning heard his voice and remembered what happened in the Demon Realm. I had also just gone to fetch the osmanthus cake and wasn’t by her side, so the accident happened…”

Ye Luofeng glanced at her. “The disciple from Xuanling Palace was injured by Red-Twist Gu and has yet to recover even now. If you want to cure Liu Changning, I’m afraid it won’t be easy.”

Fu Chenxue said, “Don’t worry about that. Once I return to the Yubing Sect, I’ll look through ancient books and find a way to remove the Red-Twist Gu.”

In truth, there was no need to look through ancient books. The system had already told her the cure, but she still had to say the proper polite words.

Ye Luofeng said, “Mm. If you need help, come find me anytime… After all, you once saved my life.”

Ye Luofeng said the words “saved my life” very slowly. Fu Chenxue remembered the entanglement between the original owner and Ye Luofeng, and quickly waved her hand. “No need, no need. I can handle this matter myself.”

“By the way, do you really not need me to take a look at Liu Changning’s eyes?” Ye Luofeng said again. “Although I didn’t cure the disciple from Xuanling Palace, I did find a spiritual herb that can temporarily relieve the pain. It won’t do for Liu Changning to feel pain every time she opens her eyes. You need to let her slowly adapt.”
