Every Day I’m Reforming My Disciple [Transmigration into a Book] - Chapter 2

The trees around them rustled. After the little fox dragged the blood-covered woman under a tree, she plopped down against the trunk and panted softly.

“Senior…” Her eyes shone with expectation.

Han Le hesitated, taking one step, then another, before walking over. She fiddled with the woman’s clothes. Blood had soaked through the fabric, sticking messily to the wounds.

While she was thinking about how to begin, the other person suddenly opened her eyes and grabbed her hand. Han Le’s body trembled, and she immediately wanted to fling her off. The blood-covered woman glared at her with wide eyes, staring fixedly at her. In the next second, she fainted again.

A warm breath stirred restlessly inside Han Le’s body. It stumbled around until it found a passage, then slipped from Han Le’s palm into the other person’s body.

Color gradually returned to the blood-covered woman’s pale, powerless face. Her shoulders trembled slightly, and she opened her eyes again before coughing.

The little fox could not help exclaiming, “Senior, you’re amazing! She woke up! She woke up!”

Han Le looked at her own palm, feeling a little complicated. She felt like she had been forced to work.

After the blood-covered woman finished coughing, she leaned against the tree trunk without saying anything, merely watching Han Le quietly.

The little fox, however, kept asking whether she was still in pain.

“Big Sister, what’s your name? How did you get so badly injured? Luckily Senior was here, otherwise you would’ve been in danger. Senior is really amazing. She saved Lili too…”

The little fox was quite talkative. In just a few sentences, she had explained everything.

Han Le stood in front of the blood-covered woman. Her purplish-red eyes looked down at her coldly as she waited for her to say who she was.

“Thank… you…”

After waiting for a long time, the other person only spat out those two words. After saying them, she turned her head away, looking reluctant.

“No need to thank her, no need. Don’t look at Senior’s scary face. She’s actually a very good person—”

“What are you doing!” the blood-covered woman suddenly roared.

Han Le had crouched in front of her. Her slender finger pressed down on the wound on the woman’s arm. The blood had finally clotted, but now that Han Le ruthlessly pressed on it, the wound split open again. Fresh red blood instantly flowed out.

The woman bit her lower lip in pain and glared at her furiously.

Han Le withdrew her hand and stood up, saying faintly, “Sorry. I touched it by accident.”

“Heh.” Touched it by accident? Only a ghost would believe that.

The little fox looked at the blood constantly flowing out. “It… it needs to be bandaged.” As she spoke, she immediately looked around. “Lili will go gather herbs for you!”

Han Le walked a few steps forward and saw a small stream. Since the blood-covered woman was lying half-dead under the tree, Han Le walked over.

If the other person was the female lead in disguise, then the moment Han Le pressed on her wound just now, she definitely would have stabbed her. Since she only dared to be angry but did not dare to move, the blood-covered woman probably was not the female lead.

Han Le crouched beside the stream. The water reflected her appearance.

Her eyes, nose, and mouth were all familiar to her. Her hand moved from her forehead, past her right eye and right cheek, down to her chin.

So this was what she looked like without that ugly burn scar.

She was really beautiful.

Han Le waved her sleeve toward the stream. With a loud boom, water splashed up and rolled through the air.

If she could go back with this kind of power, she would definitely give her lunatic father a sleeve strike.

When she remembered how he had poured freshly boiled water all over her face, she wanted to run back to the psychiatric hospital and kick him hard a few times.

Every day, he called “Lele, Lele, hug,” acting so fake that she wanted to spit into his bowl. But considering that he was mentally ill and killing people was illegal, Han Le had endured it all.

She endured it until she was finally hit by a car and died.

If she could not go back, then wouldn’t her little savings, including her compensation money, all become inheritance and end up benefiting her lunatic father?

No. She had lived this long and had never even eaten pizza, steak, or pasta. Now that she had finally gained the chance to receive a huge compensation payment, she had to go back and squander it herself.

Han Le found a larger leaf and scooped up some stream water while thinking about whether she should eat pizza or steak first after returning.

Under the tree, the blood-covered woman lifted her eyelids. The figure not far away was getting closer and closer to her. The corner of her mouth twitched to one side in a movement almost too subtle to see. Her other hand rested on her injured arm, and she coughed twice.

“Drink water.”

Han Le originally wanted to crouch down and bring the leaf to the other person’s mouth. But her movement was too large. Her hand shook, and all the water in the leaf flowed out from one side.

“Idiot,” the blood-covered woman spat out one word.

Han Le ignored her. Her gaze was drawn to a blade of grass on the ground.

It kept flapping its two leaves, greedily absorbing all the stream water that had spilled down.

“Qinghuang grass. What’s so interesting about that?”

The hoarse voice, filled with disdain, abruptly stopped. The two constantly flapping leaves seemed as if someone had pressed pause on them. They suddenly froze, turned yellow, withered, and collapsed to the ground, lifeless.

“It’s poisonous.” Han Le immediately let go. The leaf she had used to hold water drifted from her hand and turned into ashes.

She met the blood-covered woman’s gaze.

The other person clicked her tongue. A look of fear and terror was forcefully squeezed onto her face.

“You’re truly sinister. You almost killed me. How vicious.”

So fake.

“Who exactly are you?” Han Le asked.

Leaning against the tree trunk, the blood-covered woman said, “Guess.”

“I won’t guess.”

“I mean, my name is Guess.”

Han Le: “……”

Idiot. Moron.

She sat down to the side, preparing to wait for the little fox to return and ask her how to get to Mount Li. As for who this woman was, she could be whoever she wanted. Han Le only had to shake her off.

“I’m thirsty.”

After the two of them were silent for a moment, the blood-covered woman spoke.

Thirsty? She was thirsty too. The only stream in front of them was poisonous. If the woman was not afraid of death, she could crawl over and drink it herself.

“Senior! Lili is back! There’s a village up ahead. We can ask the doctor inside to take a look at Big Sister!”

Just as Han Le was about to brush her off, the little fox’s voice rang out.

A village? A poisonous stream?

Her expression instantly darkened.

Wasn’t this one of the female lead’s side quests?

The original owner had led the fox clan warriors to battle against the wolf clan and returned victorious. Who would have thought that a snake clan spy would secretly poison the stream? The village that had drunk from the stream year-round immediately fell ill. The female lead was sent by the original owner to investigate. She successfully caught the snake clan spy hiding in the village, saved the villagers from their suffering, and successfully recruited a teammate—Xue Youge.

She was the brains of the female lead’s team. Unfortunately, later on, because that big pig trotter of a male lead thought himself clever and refused to act according to the plan, she sacrificed herself.

Xue Youge’s sacrifice happened almost at the same time the original owner left the stage.

If the female lead had been reborn after the original owner died, she would definitely go to the village, because Xue Youge’s sacrifice had always been a source of guilt in her heart.

If she had been reborn when the original owner dug out her heart, then Han Le felt that killing the original owner would be her first priority.

Although Han Le also very much wanted Xue Youge, this teammate in charge of intelligence, she wanted to live even more.

Without even thinking, she immediately turned and walked away.

What she did not notice was that while she was thinking about these things, a pair of black eyes was looking at her gloomily.

“Senior, you’re going the wrong way! It’s this way. The village is this way!”

Seeing Han Le walk farther and farther away, the little fox immediately ran over.

“Senior, the village is over there!”

The blood-covered woman struggled to support herself against the tree trunk and stand. “What are you afraid of?”

Seeing her swaying unsteadily, the little fox immediately stepped forward to support her. “Big Sister, be careful.”

Then she looked eagerly at Han Le. “Senior, Big Sister’s injuries need to be bandaged.”

The blood-covered woman looked at Han Le with a hint of provocation in her eyes.

It carried the meaning of: You’re scared. You don’t dare go to the village.

Han Le suddenly became a little curious about who this person really was. She should know what the poisonous stream meant, yet she was still willing to go to the village and wade into this muddy water. What was she planning?

“Plot completion progress bar +1. Total progress: two percent. Host, please keep up the good work and continue doing your best!”

????

Could knowing the other person’s identity also push the plot forward?

It seemed she had to make this trip.

However, she needed some disguise in case she really ran into the female lead. Otherwise, she would be caught off guard.

“Do you have a mask?” she asked the little fox.

The little fox widened her large eyes. Realizing that Senior was talking to her, she immediately patted her pockets, confused. “Senior, Lili doesn’t have one.”

“Tch.” The blood-covered woman suddenly made a strange sound and looked at her oddly. “Senior,” she said in a mocking tone, “don’t tell me you don’t know how to transform?”

Han Le froze.

She remembered now. The first spell the original owner had taught the female lead was transformation.

“Right, right. If Senior doesn’t want others to recognize you, you can transform,” the little fox immediately clapped her hands.

Han Le stiffly turned her neck and looked down at the little fox clapping and smiling, her dimples showing.

Transformation could change one’s body shape, height, and even gender. She wondered how the blood-covered woman had never suspected the little fox.

Thinking of the female lead’s eerie smile, her body instantly tensed.

The female lead knew that the original owner had set her revival point in the fox clan. The moment Han Le walked out of the cave, the little fox appeared. The female lead had said she would come find her, yet she had not appeared even after so long.

Han Le recalled the many times when she would space out while thinking, and the other girl would stand beside her, smiling at her. She would not speak or disturb her, only quietly smile and wait for Han Le to come back to herself.

“Senior?”

Yes. It was exactly like this. The way she smiled with narrowed eyes and dimples showing while looking at her.

Han Le felt a chill run down her spine. “Let’s go.”

Watching the little fox happily support the blood-covered woman and walk toward the village, Han Le suddenly wanted to turn around and flee. But when she thought of the progress bar and the fact that she still needed to know who the blood-covered woman was, Han Le endured it.

Since the other party was not exposing herself, Han Le would pretend not to know, regardless of whether the little fox was truly the female lead or not.

Han Le decided to firmly uphold the principle of: if the enemy does not move, I do not move.

As she thought of the word transformation, she clearly felt the blood inside her body begin to heat up and become active. Her body grew warm, and subtle changes began to occur in her entire person.

“Senior, you’re amazing!”

Transformation was not something every demon could learn. Even if ordinary demons managed to learn it, they could only change a single body part, such as making their nose longer, their ears bigger, or their eyes smaller. It was very difficult to change everything at once.

The original owner could be considered blessed by the heavens.

She was the same age as other demons, yet she could reach heights others could not.

After entering the village, Han Le saw a well and looked into it. At first glance, her appearance seemed the same as before, but on closer inspection, it was completely different. The seductive charm was gone, and the stunning beauty had lessened, replaced by a trace of cold elegance.

The villagers looked at them strangely. Everyone who passed by turned back to glance at them and whisper.

“Guess, they’re looking at you,” Han Le said.

“Hm? Senior, who are they looking at?” the little fox asked in confusion.

“Don’t move around.” The blood-covered woman propped her hand on the little fox’s head. Seeing her look around everywhere, she became a little impatient.

Han Le, who was beside them, stopped and looked at her. “I’m talking to you. Guess.”

The blood-covered woman quickly realized Han Le was speaking to her. “Guess” was her name.

Heh.

The blood-covered woman looked darkly toward the wide stretch of orange sky in the distance.

“Chen Ju. My name.”

“Oh.”

“So it’s Sister Ju. My name is Lili, hehe.” The little fox smiled innocently and brightly.

But Han Le kept feeling that in the next second, her fangs would suddenly be revealed.

After walking for a while, they finally saw a medical clinic. Chen Ju was supporting herself on the little fox’s head and had just stepped inside when someone suddenly rushed out and crashed toward them. Chen Ju’s eyes paused, and her entire body leaned backward.

Han Le was standing behind her and immediately dodged to the side.

With a bang, Chen Ju and the little fox fell to the ground one after another.

That spine-chilling feeling came again.

Han Le met Chen Ju’s gloomy eyes.

“Senior, aren’t you coming over to help me up?”
