After Transmigrating Into a Pirated Novel to Teach Them a Lesson - Chapter 23

Fortunately, Liu Changning could not see him and did not know what expression he was making. He still had a chance.

You Jue was a clever man and knew how to seize an opportunity. He said urgently, “Let me go, and I’ll tell you the method to detoxify yourself.”

Liu Changning seemed to be rummaging through the Qiankun pouch. Hearing You Jue’s voice, she raised her head innocently. “The method to detoxify myself?”

“Yes.” Back when they were in the water prison, You Jue had already felt that Liu Changning was very beautiful, a rare little beauty. Unfortunately, Altar Master Yu had plans for her, so he had not dared to act rashly.

Now that he heard her speak, his heart was instantly hooked by her. He anxiously continued tempting her. “You were poisoned with the Red-Twist Gu. I can tell you where the detoxifying spiritual herb is. As long as…” You Jue stared at the white silk over Liu Changning’s eyes. “As long as you let me go.”

Liu Changning naturally knew that what he was talking about was the antidote for her eye condition. She smiled faintly. “Where is the detoxifying spiritual herb?”

You Jue did not dare relax his gaze. His Adam’s apple bobbed up and down. “Let me go first, and I’ll tell you.”

Liu Changning seemed to think for a while before handing him the Butterfly-Containing Dew. She said gently, “Drink this, and your immobilization spell will be undone.”

Seeing this, You Jue was overjoyed and drank it without hesitation.

Liu Changning then took a black medicine bottle out of the Qiankun pouch, lightly flicking it with her fingertip. “And this. You can use it together in a while.”

You Jue was somewhat puzzled, because after drinking the Butterfly-Containing Dew, the immobilization spell on his body had not been undone.

“You… what did you make me drink?!” You Jue felt the blood in his whole body flow backward, as if it were rushing madly toward his limbs all at once.

He could no longer move at all.

Liu Changning said lightly, “Your blood is foul and disgusting. It would be bad if you dirtied the ice cellar—”

You Jue was not stupid. Realizing that he had been tricked, his eyes immediately widened in anger. “You actually dared to deceive me?! Aren’t you afraid your eyes will never be cured in this life?!”

“Eyes?” Liu Changning held the bottle of poison in her hand and smiled. “If you hadn’t mentioned them, I almost would have forgotten.”

After saying this, she pulled out the stopper and poured every last drop of the black poison into You Jue’s eyes!

“Ahhh—!!!” You Jue’s two eyeballs were instantly soaked in poison, swelling into lumps. One could even hear the strange sound of bubbling. “You actually dare—!!!”

Hearing You Jue’s shrill screams, Liu Changning became extremely excited. Unhurriedly, she asked in a gentle voice, “Have you remembered where the antidote for the Red-Twist Gu is?”

“You, you…” You Jue had never imagined that the person from the water prison back then would have such methods.

“If you don’t speak, I can break your legs right now.” Liu Changning’s voice was still very soft. “Do you want to try?”

You Jue’s mind shook violently. Now, beneath his brow bones, only two dark, bloody holes remained, and black gu worms were constantly crawling out from inside. “Ahhh—!!! I’ll tell you, I’ll tell you!!!”

“Where is it?”

You Jue’s voice had never trembled so badly before. “The Soul Infant Seven-Leaf Flower. It can… cure it…”

Liu Changning sat beside him. Hearing his pained voice, she was in an incomparably good mood. “Really?”

“Really! Really!” You Jue could not move, and the worms had already crawled out from his eye sockets and begun gnawing at the skin below. “I don’t dare deceive you! Please spare me!!! Let me die, let me die—!!!”

“Ahhh—!!! Please! Let me die!!!”

Liu Changning said happily, “Wait a little longer. I haven’t played enough yet.”

You Jue spat out a mouthful of filthy blood. Liu Changning could not dodge in time, and the dirty blood foam splashed onto the magical robe. But Liu Changning did not notice this tiny change. She took out other poisonous pills and poisons from the Qiankun pouch and forcibly fed them to You Jue…

She used sharp spiritual energy to slice open You Jue’s legs inch by inch. His screams rang out endlessly, and the pleasure of revenge came one wave after another.

So happy.

Liu Changning curved her lips.

A yellow-orange crescent moon hung in the sky, and only faint birdsong came from the valley.

Fu Chenxue and Ye Luofeng walked side by side. She asked, “Where is the spiritual grass you mentioned?”

Ye Luofeng never went anywhere without her sword. She looked around. “Firefly-Binding Grass is cool in nature and grows in relatively damp places. We still have to walk farther ahead.”

Fu Chenxue continued following Ye Luofeng. The two of them circled around dense shrubs and finally saw the Firefly-Binding Grass beside a murmuring stream.

Ye Luofeng raised her hand, and the spiritual grass was pulled up by the roots. She handed it to Fu Chenxue. “Use the roots of this spiritual grass to brew medicine. Take one dose every three days. Apply the stems and leaves over the eyes every night. But the medicine brewed from the roots is very bitter, so you can prepare some sweet dates for Liu Changning.”

Fu Chenxue accepted the Firefly-Binding Grass and said, “Many thanks.”

Ye Luofeng signaled that there was no need to thank her, then asked, “When are you returning to the Yubing Sect?”

Fu Chenxue said, “I plan to wait until Changning reaches Foundation Establishment before taking her back.”

Ye Luofeng thought for a moment. “I can sense that child’s talent is quite good. If you nurture her properly, she will definitely become someone great in the future.”

Fu Chenxue smiled. “I only hope she can protect herself.”

Seeing Fu Chenxue’s open and carefree appearance, Ye Luofeng also revealed a smile, as if recalling some old matter. “Chenxue, I keep feeling that you’ve changed… but the way you’ve changed makes people feel very reassured.”

“During the time you were in closed-door cultivation before, you were completely unwilling to hear any news about me.” Ye Luofeng’s hair ends were gently lifted by the evening wind. “I didn’t expect we would still be able to talk so naturally like this.”

Fu Chenxue turned her head away slightly in embarrassment.

Hadn’t they agreed not to bring up the past? Why was she mentioning it again?

“Those things from before are all in the past.” Fu Chenxue said sincerely, “I’m… I’m doing quite well now.”

Ye Luofeng said, “It’s good that you can let go of what happened in Kongling Valley.”

Fu Chenxue quickly said, “I really have let it all go.”

As soon as she finished speaking, the system’s notification suddenly rang beside Fu Chenxue’s ear.

[Congratulations! A major villain has been tortured and killed. Satisfaction +5000. The pirated-novel world has been defeated by 25%.]

That demonic cultivator was dead?

Hearing this notification, Fu Chenxue froze slightly. After learning that the demonic cultivator had already been dealt with by Ye Luofeng’s disciples, she instantly relaxed. At the same time, she felt very happy.

The person who hurt Liu Changning was dead, and the progress in defeating the pirated-novel world had also reached 25%. Not bad at all.

She said to Ye Luofeng, “It’s getting late. Changning is still waiting for me in the room. I’ll go back first to take care of her. You should rest early.”

Ye Luofeng teased, “You really care about your disciple.”

Fu Chenxue had originally wanted to put the Firefly-Binding Grass into her Qiankun pouch, but when she lowered her head, she realized she had forgotten to bring it. She could only put it into the hidden pocket of her wide sleeve. “Ever since what happened in the Demon Realm, Changning’s personality has become very sensitive. I’m afraid that if I go back late, she’ll be scared.”

Ye Luofeng smiled. “Go on. I’ll also go to the ice cellar to check on my disciples.”

…

Fu Chenxue left the medicine valley and walked back. When she reached the door of the room and had just pushed it open, a slender figure suddenly threw herself at her and wrapped her arms around Fu Chenxue’s waist.

“Master, where did you go? I waited here alone for so long, but you didn’t come back.”

“Master went with Immortal Master Ye to pick spiritual grass.” Fu Chenxue turned around and patted the hands around her waist.

Liu Changning had not tied on the white silk. Although her eyes could not see, they were still dark and bright.

This was the first time she had removed the white silk while Fu Chenxue was away.

She rubbed against Master in grievance. “But I’m scared to stay alone.”

Fu Chenxue felt that there was, for some reason, a faint smell of blood on her body, but she did not know where it came from.

“Master, what’s wrong?” Liu Changning did not hear Fu Chenxue speak and looked somewhat bewildered.

Fu Chenxue said, “Nothing.” But when she lowered her head, she just happened to see that Liu Changning’s magical robe was stained with a patch of dark blood. It was neither big nor small.

She frowned slightly. “Changning, are you hurt?”
