After Transmigrating Into a Pirated Novel to Teach Them a Lesson - Chapter 6

Fu Chenxue was just about to leave the cave residence to meditate and circulate her qi outside when Liu Changning tugged at her arm like this. Fu Chenxue froze for a moment. “You want me to go in with you?”

Liu Changning nodded. “I’m scared. I don’t want to go in alone.”

Fu Chenxue could only rub her head. “All right.”

As she spoke, a book suddenly fell out of her sleeve with a slap. Liu Changning’s hearing was very good. “What fell?”

Fu Chenxue picked it up. “A core cultivation method.”

In truth, this was something from the original owner’s Qiankun pouch. Fu Chenxue had planned to test it outside the cave residence today. Although she could now use the jade flute, she was still not very familiar with things like core cultivation methods, so she needed to practice diligently.

Liu Changning said, “So medical cultivators also read core cultivation methods.”

Fu Chenxue saw the five words written on the book: Winter Peak Core Method.

Could Liu Changning have seen this book before?

Fu Chenxue felt a little awkward. She still was not ready to reveal her identity in front of Liu Changning. If Liu Changning asked why she was not on Winter Peak, how should she answer?

Fu Chenxue put the book away and lifted Liu Changning up. Liu Changning obediently wrapped her arms around Fu Chenxue’s shoulder and neck.

“I’ll go out for a while later.” Fu Chenxue walked into the spiritual spring. The steaming mist surrounded both of them.

“When will you come back?” Even in the water, Liu Changning hugged Fu Chenxue’s neck, nuzzling against that soft patch of skin. “I don’t want to stay alone for too long.”

“Soon. I won’t be gone long.”

Liu Changning indicated that she understood, then lay against Fu Chenxue’s shoulder and fell asleep.

Fu Chenxue: “…”

She accompanied Liu Changning in the spring for four hours, then carried her out.

To be honest, Liu Changning currently could not see or walk, so life was very inconvenient for her. Fu Chenxue planned to go to the market today and see where there were craftsmen and carpenters. She intended to have a wheelchair made for Liu Changning.

Liu Changning had a sensitive mind, especially after losing her sight. Fu Chenxue was afraid that carrying her around every day might end up giving her some psychological problem.

After drawing a defensive barrier in front of the cave residence, Fu Chenxue left.

She flew up the cliff, preparing to visit a nearby town.

After about fifteen minutes, Fu Chenxue arrived at the market. She remembered that Liu Changning had not reached the fasting stage, and she could not possibly keep feeding her fasting pills forever. So she first bought fresh meat and rice.

Most of the people in this town were ordinary people. Fu Chenxue did not want to scare them with spells either, so she tucked the jade flute at her waist and searched on foot.

By coincidence, she passed by a tea stall. Fu Chenxue went in and asked the owner, “Boss, is there a carpenter nearby?”

The owner was pouring tea. When he saw that the white-robed young woman before him was extraordinarily beautiful and otherworldly, he could not help smiling cheerfully. “Miss, walk straight ahead. When you see an intersection, turn left. But that carpenter’s shop is quite hidden and hard to find. Do you need me to take you there?”

Fu Chenxue smiled and refused. “No need. Thank you for telling me.”

She left the tea stall and continued forward. This area was very lively. To be honest, Fu Chenxue still had not figured out where exactly this place was, nor did she know whether it was far from the Yubing Sect. When the time came, she still had to bring the female lead back.

Just as she was thinking this, she really saw a carpenter’s shop.

The person inside was hammering something. Fu Chenxue walked over and asked, “Boss, can you make a wheelchair here?”

Without raising his head, the boss wiped the sweat from his face. “Yes, yes. What kind does the young lady want? Do you have the injured person’s height and measurements?”

Fu Chenxue was just about to gesture for him when a voice suddenly came from behind her.

“Chenxue?”

Fu Chenxue’s expression turned into a “?” as she turned around to look.

At some unknown point, a woman had appeared behind her. She wore blue robes and held a longsword flashing with silver light. She looked at Fu Chenxue and frowned slightly. “Why are you here?”

The system’s voice suddenly rang out: [One of the Two Immortals of Wind and Snow, Ye Luofeng, has come online.]

The Two Immortals of Wind and Snow?

When Fu Chenxue heard this prompt, she immediately remembered. Ye Luofeng was another background character in her book. The original owner and Ye Luofeng were jointly called the Two Immortals of Wind and Snow, both famous for their medical skills.

However, Ye Luofeng did not belong to any sect. She had an aloof personality and rarely interacted with others.

How had Fu Chenxue run into her here?

Fu Chenxue had no choice but to smile and greet her. However, the moment their gazes met, the Qiankun pouch in Fu Chenxue’s hand almost dropped from shock.

???

Wait. Why did she look so familiar?!

Fu Chenxue rubbed her eyes and carefully examined Ye Luofeng again.

This…

Why did she look so much like Liu Changning?!

When Fu Chenxue saw Ye Luofeng walk forward, she involuntarily took a step back.

No, it was her eyes. Ye Luofeng’s eyes were almost exactly the same as Liu Changning’s.

Fu Chenxue remembered that when she had truly seen Liu Changning inside the cave residence, she had been drawn in by those clear eyes.

Although their gaze was pale, their beauty lay in their bright, ethereal clarity. They seemed filled with silver light, making Fu Chenxue unable to forget them after one look.

But now, why were they so similar to Ye Luofeng’s?!

“Chenxue, why are you here?” Seeing that she had not reacted for a long time, Ye Luofeng asked again, “Weren’t you in closed-door cultivation at the Yubing Sect? Why would you…”

Fu Chenxue said awkwardly, “Nothing much. I just came out for a stroll. What a coincidence.”

Ye Luofeng’s voice was calm. “The place where I’m in closed-door cultivation isn’t far from here.”

As they spoke, a disciple with a high ponytail ran in, holding several skewers of candied hawthorn. “Master, I’m back!”

When Ye Luofeng saw that her disciple was covered in dust, she did not know where she had run off to play again. She lightly scolded her, “Didn’t I tell you to follow me? Why did you run off alone? Where are your junior brothers and sisters?”

The little disciple stuck out her tongue embarrassedly. “I saw someone selling candied hawthorn, so I didn’t keep up with Master. My junior brothers and sisters are still where they were. I’ll take Master there in a bit…”

When she turned her head and saw Fu Chenxue, she said in surprise, “Immortal Master Fu, why are you pestering my master again?”

Fu Chenxue was pouring tea. When she heard this, she almost spilled the scalding tea all over herself. She turned back in great horror. “…Huh?”

The little disciple scratched her head and kept talking on her own. “My master brought us out today, so she can’t be tangled up with you. Besides, my master cultivates the Unfeeling Dao…”

Ye Luofeng lowered her head and reprimanded her, “Han Yin, what nonsense are you saying? You’re not allowed to be rude to Immortal Master Fu.”

Fu Chenxue: “…”

Why did she suddenly have such a strange feeling?

Han Yin quickly bent down and cupped her hands in apology, then ran off in a flash.

Only Fu Chenxue and Ye Luofeng were left in the shop, staring at each other. The two of them were awkward for a moment before Ye Luofeng spoke first. “About what happened before… don’t mind it.”

Fu Chenxue waved her hand. “It’s fine, it’s fine. Children speak nonsense. I won’t take it seriously.”

Ye Luofeng glanced at her, seeming as if she wanted to say something but stopped. “…I wasn’t talking about Han Yin. I meant the matter of me rejecting you before. Because I do indeed cultivate the Unfeeling Dao.”

Rejecting… me?

Fu Chenxue was a little confused.

These two had that kind of past? The original owner had been rejected by Ye Luofeng? She had never written that!

Fu Chenxue’s scalp tingled. “Rejected? Immortal Master Ye, are you talking about me…”

“Immortal Master Ye?” Hearing this, Ye Luofeng could not help laughing. “Chenxue, after three years of not seeing you, you really have changed a little.”

“In the past, you used to make medicinal meals for me every day, sew clothes for me, and even call me Luofeng,” Ye Luofeng said. “Have you forgotten?”

Fu Chenxue almost got goosebumps.

Wasn’t the original owner a background character? Why did a relationship line appear after she transmigrated?

Could it be that she had to complete character arcs after transmigrating too?

Thinking of this, Fu Chenxue remembered that the system had previously told her she needed to fix the plot bugs. Perhaps this meant she had to complete Fu Chenxue’s side storyline.

But what kind of devilish plot was this?!

Fu Chenxue hurriedly waved her hand and answered vaguely, “It’s all in the past now. Don’t bring it up.”

Ye Luofeng did not intend to go into detail either. She asked again, “How is the disciple you recently accepted? I remember you don’t like taking disciples. Why did you suddenly accept one?”

Was she asking about Liu Changning?

Fu Chenxue followed her words and answered, “She’s all right. But my disciple’s eyes and legs have some problems…”

Ye Luofeng frowned slightly. “What happened?”

Fu Chenxue thought that Ye Luofeng was also a medical cultivator, so she told her honestly, “Her eyes were poisoned. As for her leg injury, I’m almost done treating it.”

Ye Luofeng asked, “What kind of poison is so severe? Are there any symptoms?”

“I examined her. For a period of time earlier, her eyes were red. Now the external symptoms have faded, but opening her eyes is extremely painful. She can only see a field of crimson and nothing else.”

Ye Luofeng seemed to think of something. “Eyes turning blood-red when opened… Could it be the Demon Realm’s Ghost Altar gu poison, the Red-Twist Gu?”

“Red-Twist Gu? What is that?” Fu Chenxue quickly asked.

Ye Luofeng said, “It is an extremely strange poison. Previously, disciples from Xuanling Palace went missing. They were finally found, but they had been severely injured. The elders invited me to treat their disciples. Their condition was similar to what you described. That disciple also had red eyes for a period of time. Later, the external symptoms disappeared, and he could no longer see anything.”

Fu Chenxue hurriedly asked, “Was he cured?”

Ye Luofeng shook her head. “No. That disciple still has not recovered to this day.”

Fu Chenxue hesitated for a moment. “All right. Then I’ll think of another way.”

The system had said that the female lead’s eyes needed to be cured using the Soul Infant Seven-Leaf Flower from the secret realm on Shaoqing Island. That secret realm would only open five years from now, so there was no use being anxious now.

“Let me meet your disciple another day. Perhaps there will be a way,” Ye Luofeng said warmly.

Meet Liu Changning?

Fu Chenxue knew that Ye Luofeng was also a well-known medical cultivator. Letting her see Liu Changning might be helpful for the female lead’s injuries.

It was just… these two had almost identical eyes. Fu Chenxue kept feeling that if she brought Ye Luofeng to meet Liu Changning, some strange plotline would be triggered.

No. She had to go back and carefully ask Liu Changning how the original owner had accepted her as a disciple back then.

Seeing that there was nothing else, Ye Luofeng said, “Go on with your business. I’ll go find my disciples first.”

Fu Chenxue nodded. “Mm. Take care.”

Before leaving the carpenter’s shop, Ye Luofeng added in a low voice, “By the way, Chenxue, there are still some things I want to discuss with you. In a while, I’ll go to the Yubing Sect to find you.”

Fu Chenxue’s face was full of question marks.

What things? Why was she being so mysterious?

After Ye Luofeng left, Fu Chenxue quickly found a place with no one around and communicated with the system.

Fu Chenxue said nervously, “System, why did Ye Luofeng say so many things I don’t understand? What Unfeeling Dao, what private matters? Did the original owner really like her before?”

[System: According to your outline, the character Fu Chenxue has no character-setting information whatsoever.]

Fu Chenxue frowned. “But Liu Changning and Ye Luofeng have exactly the same eyes. I keep feeling that it’s strange. Something seems wrong.”

[System brainwashing in progress: Your current primary mission is to cure the female lead. You do not need to consider anything else for now.]
