After Transmigrating Into a Pirated Novel to Teach Them a Lesson - Chapter 31

When Fu Chenxue returned to the room, Liu Changning was hiding under the quilt and rolling around. Seeing Fu Chenxue come back, she revealed an extremely aggrieved expression. “Master…”

Fu Chenxue removed her outer robe and got onto the bed, fishing Liu Changning out from under the quilt. “Does your back still hurt?”

“It hurts,” Liu Changning answered.

Fu Chenxue said no more. She went to find a thin handkerchief soaked in cool water and said, “Master asked Elder Xue. If it really hurts badly, wipe it with clean water. Don’t move.”

Liu Changning obediently lay on her stomach on the bed. Her long hair, like crow feathers, fell beside her snow-white shoulders. Fu Chenxue said, “Go to sleep. Master will stay here with you.”

Liu Changning knew she had caused Master quite a bit of trouble today, so she obediently listened. Fu Chenxue watched as Liu Changning found a comfortable angle on her lap and prepared to sleep. Suddenly, Fu Chenxue remembered the conversation she had with Xue Linglong in the bamboo house.

She reached out and rubbed Liu Changning’s hair, asking, “Changning, do you hate demonic cultivators?”

When Liu Changning heard this, her heart began beating very fast. She did not know why Master would suddenly ask such a thing. Had Master discovered something wrong? But when she had killed those demonic cultivators before, she had handled the aftermath very cleanly. Master should not have discovered anything.

Liu Changning could not think of an answer for a long while, so she could only say, “Why is Master suddenly asking this?”

Fu Chenxue said warmly, “Master only thought of how much you suffered in the Demon Realm. Now your eyes are still poisoned with Red-Twist Gu, so…”

Liu Changning laughed softly, then held Fu Chenxue’s hand and acted spoiled. “No matter what suffering I went through in the past, Master still saved me and brought me back.”

Fu Chenxue said, “No. Master wants to hear your true thoughts. Do you hate those who hurt you… or do you feel disgusted by anyone who is a demonic cultivator?”

Liu Changning thought for a while. “Aside from Yu Tianji, the demonic cultivators who hurt me are already dead. As for the rest…” Liu Changning paused. In truth, she found all demonic cultivators disgusting. They were filthy and ugly. As long as they came within an inch of her, she could not help wanting to strike and kill them.

But… if Master asked like this, it was because she wanted Liu Changning to forget that cruel past, right?

So Liu Changning calmly said, “As for the rest, I don’t know either.”

Fu Chenxue hummed and continued wiping Liu Changning’s back. A moment later, she suddenly asked seriously, “Changning, how do you want to deal with Yu Tianji?”

Liu Changning: “Yu Tianji?”

Fu Chenxue said, “Yes. How do you want to deal with him?”

Liu Changning frowned slightly. “Master, isn’t Yu Tianji in the Demon Realm’s Ghost Altar… How could I possibly deal with him?”

Fu Chenxue looked at the sky outside. Mm, it was the middle of the night. Although the timing was very inappropriate, she could not wait to give this “gift” to Liu Changning.

She picked up the robe beside her and put it on Liu Changning, then held her cool hand. “Let’s go. Come out with Master.”

“Where are we going, Master?” Liu Changning was very confused. Fu Chenxue pulled her forward stumblingly, and Fu Chenxue’s voice sounded somewhat happy. “Master wants to give you that thing right now.”

What exactly was it that made Master suddenly pull her out of bed in the middle of the night? Although Liu Changning found it a little strange, because the person was Fu Chenxue, she still smiled gently and happily followed her.

Fu Chenxue brought her into the water prison. The water prison was dark and damp, and the ground was covered with uneven stones. As soon as they entered, Liu Changning felt that something was not right. She stepped into a puddle of dirty water, startling her so much that she instantly gripped Fu Chenxue’s arm tightly and asked uneasily, “Master, where exactly is this?”

Being unable to see brought many worries.

So Fu Chenxue patted Liu Changning’s hand and said warmly, “Changning, don’t be afraid. No matter what you do in a while, Master won’t peek.”

Liu Changning did not understand what those words meant, but she suddenly sensed a gloomy, decayed demonic aura. She began to feel afraid and uneasy. “Master, what exactly is inside here?!”

“Don’t worry, Changning.” Fu Chenxue tightened her hold on Liu Changning’s hand. “Master will walk with you.”

Along the way, Fu Chenxue comforted her softly like this. Liu Changning’s emotions finally slowly settled. She suddenly remembered how, two years ago in the cave residence, Master had also gently encouraged her like this. No matter what she did, the first thing Master did was always take care of her sensitive emotions and keep her from feeling afraid.

Liu Changning took a deep breath, and the vines in her heart grew wildly.

Yes… Master was a very, very good person. She had always protected her. She did not need to worry or be afraid, because Master would always be by her side.

Fu Chenxue brought Liu Changning to the water prison where Yu Tianji was locked up.

Ever since Yu Tianji had been captured by Fu Chenxue, he had been unconscious for three full days and had not woken up even now.

Fu Chenxue pushed open that door and brought Liu Changning inside. At the same time, she cast a silencing spell on the door. Liu Changning sensed all of this and asked in confusion, “Master, is there someone lying inside? Who is he?”

Fu Chenxue hummed softly. Seeing that Yu Tianji was sleeping like a dead pig, she could not help feeling conflicted.

Could Liu Changning really kill him? After all, her own disciple had not even stepped on an ant until now. Wasn’t it a little forcing things to suddenly make her kill a person?

But… Yu Tianji was the inner demon Liu Changning had faced when she advanced to Foundation Establishment. If Liu Changning did not personally remove him, then when she reached Golden Core, Nascent Soul, or even Soul Transformation in the future, she would still encounter the same inner demon. At that time, the inner demon would absolutely not be as easy to deal with as it had been at Foundation Establishment. With the Heavenly Dao also obstructing her, and Fu Chenxue no longer by her side, Fu Chenxue truly found it difficult to imagine whether Liu Changning would pass safely.

Thinking of this, Fu Chenxue took out her Qiankun pouch and obediently handed it to Liu Changning with both hands like an elementary school student. “Here.”

Seeing Master give her the Qiankun pouch, Liu Changning found it a little strange. “Master, why are you giving me the Qiankun pouch?”

Fu Chenxue introduced it seriously. “Inside, there is Corpse-Severing Venom, Corpse-Dissolving Dew, Ancient Spirit Demon Pills, Heavenly Scorpion Green Gu… and also short knives, silver needles, and things like that. You can play with them however you want.”

Everything Master mentioned was poison or weapons. Liu Changning’s little head was filled with question marks.

She was very puzzled. Although she knew how to use every single poison inside, she did not want to use them in front of Master.

She had always maintained a very obedient image. How could an obedient disciple use such things?

So Liu Changning returned the Qiankun pouch. “Master, I don’t want to play with this.”

Seeing her Qiankun pouch handed back, Fu Chenxue was immediately dealt a heavy blow.

Had she misunderstood? Did Liu Changning not want to personally kill Yu Tianji?

Fu Chenxue said, “Back in the cave residence, didn’t you always like playing with Master’s Qiankun pouch?”

When Liu Changning heard the words “playing with Master,” her breathing quickened. “I… I don’t want to…”

Right! It must be because Liu Changning could not see and did not know that the person lying in the water prison was Yu Tianji, so she did not want to. Fu Chenxue suddenly realized this. She held Liu Changning’s hand and said seriously, “Changning, actually, after we returned to the Yubing Sect, Master asked the sect master to investigate Yu Tianji’s whereabouts.”

“Yu Tianji?”

“Yes.” Fu Chenxue nodded. “When Master learned that Yu Tianji was not in the Demon Realm, but had hidden himself in Fuling Sea’s Minor Thousand World, I immediately came here with Elder Xue.”

“Yu Tianji built a palace here and also captured many cultivators to use as cauldrons. Master destroyed everything he had, then captured him and locked him in the water prison he built himself.” Fu Chenxue said, “You cannot see, but the demonic cultivator unconscious in the corner is him.”

Hearing these words, Liu Changning froze. She did not pay attention to the person in the corner. Instead, she tightened her hold on Fu Chenxue’s fingers, her voice trembling slightly. “So the five days Master was gone… you went to find Yu Tianji?”

Fu Chenxue said, “Yes. Master didn’t tell you the truth because I was afraid you would worry… But only after Master came here did I realize that it really is easy for a Golden Core cultivator to kill someone.” For the first time, Fu Chenxue’s cheeks turned red, as if stained with a faint blush. Unfortunately, Liu Changning could not see it. “Changning, he isn’t dead yet. Do you want to kill him yourself?”

When Liu Changning heard this, it was as if she had heard something unbelievable.

Master wanted her to kill him…

The person who had hurt her was right there in the corner of the water prison. Master had captured him for her and was letting her personally end all of this.

So Master had always remembered this matter.

Although Liu Changning’s eyes were covered by white silk, moisture quietly spread beneath it and gathered into a tear at the corner of her eye.

She had said she would bring Liu Changning back to the Yubing Sect. She had said she would help Liu Changning settle the score with those people…

Every word she had said had come true.

Liu Changning finally could not help tightly hugging Fu Chenxue. Her voice was like a zither string, trembling at the slightest pluck. “Master…”

“Master isn’t trying to make things difficult for you. It’s because you encountered an inner demon when you advanced to Foundation Establishment. If that inner demon is not removed, it will become a future calamity. That’s why Master wants you to personally deal with Yu Tianji. This way, you won’t encounter difficulties again when you advance in the future…” After thinking about it, Fu Chenxue still told the truth.

“Mm,” Liu Changning replied gently.

Fu Chenxue was held very tightly by her, so tightly that their clothes pressed together. She reached out and stroked Liu Changning’s soft hair, whispering, “Right, there is one last thing left to do… Master needs to cure your eyes.”

Only one last thing remained. Once she completed this matter… she could leave at ease.

A faint sadness rose in Fu Chenxue’s heart, but it quickly disappeared, because Liu Changning lowered her head and pressed her cold lips against Fu Chenxue’s neck. Fu Chenxue instantly went numb, her mind turning blank.

There was a bite mark there, left by Liu Changning.

Liu Changning seemed as if she did not know what else to do. She suddenly opened her mouth and took that spot in, startling Fu Chenxue until her whole body went numb.

She instinctively withdrew her protective spiritual energy and chanted inwardly, don’t bite, don’t bite, otherwise it’ll leave another scar.

However, Liu Changning did not do anything too excessive. She only held it in her mouth for a while, licked it twice, then reluctantly raised her head. Her tone was gentle. “Master, thank you…”

“You’re welcome.” Fu Chenxue quickly said, while covering her neck.

Her neck hurt! Why did the grown-up Liu Changning still like biting people?!

“Here’s the Qiankun pouch.” Fu Chenxue handed the Qiankun pouch over again, then turned her back. “Don’t worry. Master won’t peek. You can deal with him however you want.”

Although she said that, Fu Chenxue still felt nervous for Liu Changning.

Could her own disciple do it? She had never killed anyone before. Should Fu Chenxue find some cheap demonic cultivator first and let her practice?

Just as she was thinking this, Liu Changning suddenly laughed softly. Fu Chenxue immediately asked nervously, “What’s wrong?”

Liu Changning felt that Master must be standing perfectly straight. She really wanted to laugh, but she could not say it aloud. “Why doesn’t Master go out first?”

Author’s Note:

Fu Chenxue: Nervous! Changning has never killed anyone before. I hope she can do it!

Liu Changning: “…”.
