Transmigrated into a Pirated Novel to Teach People a Lesson (GL) - Chapter 2

However, right after she said that, she passed out again.

Fu Chenxue, who didn’t know how to respond, felt a sense of relief when she fainted. She quickly decided to carry her to the so-called Jade Stone Dwelling.

Even as the original author, Fu Chenxue didn’t know how this background-character Master usually interacted with the Female Protagonist, because she had never written it. Moreover, the book was mixed with other pirated works, leading to a completely chaotic plot. She had to proceed cautiously, one step at a time.

The Jade Stone Dwelling was hidden behind a mass of emerald green vines. Fu Chenxue pushed aside the dense leaves and sure enough, saw another world.

Although the interior was somewhat small, it contained a stone bed and was not too cold. Fu Chenxue placed Liu Changning on the stone bed and began to look around.

Where was the spiritual spring the System spoke of? Fu Chenxue calmed herself and listened carefully to the sounds around her. A cultivator’s hearing is excellent, and Fu Chenxue heard the sound of water dripping at the end of the cave’s long passage.

She took off her plain white thin robe and covered Liu Changning with it, then went alone to find the spiritual spring.

After walking for about a quarter of an hour in the secluded passage, Fu Chenxue discovered a steaming spiritual spring. The dripping sound she had heard earlier came from here.

The System said the Female Protagonist would need to soak here for two to five years to possibly recover. That was quite a long time.

However, for cultivators, a few years was but a blink of an eye.

Fu Chenxue left the spiritual spring and returned to the outside. Liu Changning was still lying on the stone bed, and Fu Chenxue walked over to look at her.

Liu Changning had broken legs and blind eyes, her entire body was permeated with demonic energy, and she had other large and small fresh, red wounds. Her purple clothing had deeply sunken into her flesh; tearing it off would surely bring piercing pain.

Fu Chenxue sat next to her, feeling deep distress, while a thought surfaced.

I must heal her.

In this cultivation world, Fu Chenxue was a Medical Cultivator, and the System, to help her adapt to the plot, had already implanted many medical settings into her mind. Therefore, Fu Chenxue subconsciously moved to unfasten Liu Changning’s clothing to treat her wounds.

But at that moment, Liu Changning seemed to suddenly sense a change in temperature. Her eyelashes fluttered, and she slowly opened her eyes.

Fu Chenxue saw those eyes again. This time, the bloody color in Liu Changning’s pupils was gone, revealing their original appearance.

Liu Changning’s eyes were too clear. The color of her pupils was very pale, but it inexplicably gave Fu Chenxue a sense of unforgettable clarity.

Fu Chenxue was about to say, “You’re awake,” when Liu Changning felt someone undoing her clothes. She screamed in terror, pushed away Fu Chenxue’s hand, and continuously retreated: “Don’t touch me!”

Her back hit the cold stone wall, and the crimson blur before her eyes brought her extreme terror.

Where was this place? A dungeon in the Demon Realm? Or had those people taken her elsewhere to torture her?

Fu Chenxue felt she was misunderstood and immediately said, “I’m not from the Demon Realm, don’t be afraid.”

However, Liu Changning refused to believe her. She couldn’t see anything and could only keep scooting sideways. Blood began to seep largely from her shoulder again. Fu Chenxue frowned instantly. She climbed onto the stone bed and held Liu Changning down to stop her from moving.

Liu Changning struggled violently, her voice hoarse as she yelled, “No, don’t touch me!”

Fu Chenxue dared not reveal her identity. She hadn’t fully adapted to the original owner’s body, and she couldn’t completely control her spiritual power. It would be terrible if she exposed the flaw that she wasn’t the original person.

“Calm down. I’m not from the Demon Realm, and I won’t hurt you!” Fu Chenxue just wanted to treat her injuries. She intended to stroke Liu Changning’s back to calm her down, but Liu Changning felt her hand reaching towards her back and instantly pushed her away like a maniac, then tumbled off the stone bed!

Fu Chenxue knew her legs were broken and quickly jumped down to catch her. However, Liu Changning somehow grabbed a sharp stone and fiercely stabbed towards Fu Chenxue!

Fu Chenxue almost immediately pressed the sleeping acupuncture point behind her occipital bone.

Liu Changning’s vision blacked out, and her body went limp, falling into Fu Chenxue’s embrace. The stone in her hand dropped.

Silence returned to the cave dwelling.

Fu Chenxue broke out in a cold sweat. She let out a breath and carried the person back onto the stone bed.

The Female Protagonist’s resistance was quite fierce…

Fu Chenxue could understand. Liu Changning had likely been tormented too much in the Demon Realm, and her mental state was extremely poor. Suddenly changing environments was bound to frighten her.

She rummaged through the original owner’s Qiankun bag (a dimensional storage bag) and found quite a few spiritual pills and medicines, along with some daily necessities.

Thanks to the System’s help, Fu Chenxue already had the settings for various spiritual pills in her mind. She took out a hemostatic pill for Liu Changning to hold in her mouth, then found some Clear Dream Brew and fed it to Liu Changning along with the pill.

Liu Changning, after drinking the Clear Dream Brew, fell deeply asleep and would not wake up for a short time.

Fu Chenxue took a deep breath, took out various silver needles and gauze from the Qiankun bag, and began to clean her wounds.

The clothing had already sunk into the flesh and had to go. Fu Chenxue cut open the thin garment and simply discarded them all. She wrapped her own outer robe around her, applied the Golden Sore Medicine to her, and finished treating the crisscrossing wounds on her back…

She was busy for almost two hours until night fell.

Fu Chenxue wiped the sweat from her forehead, thinking that once Liu Changning absorbed these medicines, she could take her to the spiritual spring for treatment.

She had just re-examined Liu Changning’s legs. They weren’t broken, but she couldn’t move them. Therefore, this injury was beyond her capabilities and could only be healed by the spiritual spring mentioned by the System.

Remembering Liu Changning’s fierce behavior earlier, Fu Chenxue chose not to sit by the bed this time but instead moved a stone over and sat on it.

She began to examine Liu Changning’s appearance closely.

Although the Female Protagonist was young, it was clear that she had a beautiful face. Her skin was snow-white, and her long eyelashes cast a dense shadow, giving her a countenance as exquisite as a piece of fine white jade.

Fu Chenxue thought, As expected of the Female Protagonist. In terms of appearance alone, probably no one else in this book could compare.

Fu Chenxue wanted to reach out and touch her forehead to check if she had a fever, but remembering what happened earlier, she pulled her hand back.

Forget it. I’ll explain properly when she wakes up.

Liu Changning woke up in the middle of the second night. She felt cold all over and subconsciously grabbed at her clothes, only to feel a thin robe.

Her thoughts returned…

This isn’t my clothing… where are my clothes?

Liu Changning was panicking. She touched every reachable part of her body. Various parts were wrapped in gauze, covered with medicinal powder, and had a faint bitter smell.

What is going on?

Liu Changning dared not move. She was afraid that if she moved, the evil person would discover she was awake, and then… it would be difficult for her to escape.

She had been taken to the Demon Realm and tortured for days. Broken legs and blindness were already the greatest damage to her. If she were caught again…

She would go insane.

Liu Changning’s fingertips were ice cold. She constantly comforted herself in her mind.

She was just a fifteen-year-old child. No one would be interested in her. Moreover, the Altar Master of the Ghost Altar in the Demon Realm preferred men and didn’t even look at women.

All they wanted… was the Yubing Sect’s cultivation technique.

Thinking of this, Liu Changning tightly closed her eyes.

That was precisely why they imprisoned and tortured her, day after day, in a place like eternal damnation.

“Why isn’t she awake yet?”

A strange voice came. Liu Changning immediately feigned sleep. She was very nervous, but she told herself to stay calm.

Fu Chenxue calculated the time. Liu Changning should have woken up by now, but why was she still sleeping… Did she give her too much Clear Dream Brew?

Perhaps I should take this opportunity to put her directly into the spiritual spring. That way, when she wakes up, she’ll know I only wanted to help her heal and didn’t mean any harm.

So, Fu Chenxue stepped forward and picked her up.

Liu Changning knew the person holding her was a woman. Yesterday, she was too terrified. Whenever someone touched her, she became extremely tense, her mind turning into a blur. Her resistance was just a subconscious act of seeking to avoid harm.

But she couldn’t be sure if the person in front of her was good or bad. Anything could happen in the cultivation world, whether reasonable or not.

Fu Chenxue carried her toward the spiritual spring.

Liu Changning was slender, and holding her felt like carrying a soft wad of cotton. Fu Chenxue brought her into the innermost cave dwelling. Liu Changning felt the steaming airflow and grew extremely uneasy.

Where is this place?

A spring? What exactly does this person want to do…

Suddenly, a hand covered her calf, gently massaging it.

Liu Changning nearly threw up from disgust. Sure enough, I escaped the tiger’s den only to fall into the wolf’s mouth. She didn’t know what this person wanted from her…

She desperately suppressed the urge to kick out and quietly scraped the soft dirt with her fingers, planning to throw it with all her might when the person wasn’t paying attention.

Meanwhile, Fu Chenxue was evenly applying spiritual medicine to Liu Changning’s calf. Seeing Liu Changning sleeping peacefully, she thought, What if I just put her in the water and she drowns?

How about… I hold her?

Sigh, patients are so troublesome.

So, Fu Chenxue picked her up again, intending to walk into the spiritual spring with her. Unexpectedly, Liu Changning suddenly opened her eyes and stammered, “No, don’t!”

“Oh, you’re awake?” Fu Chenxue smiled.

Great, if she’s awake, I don’t have to carry her.

Unfortunately, Liu Changning couldn’t see her expression. She struggled violently, trying to escape Fu Chenxue’s embrace, her voice filled with panic: “Let go of me! Don’t touch me!”

Fu Chenxue quickly put her down: “Alright, alright, I won’t touch you.”

Liu Changning scrambled backward. The wounds that had been painstakingly treated last night tore open again. Fu Chenxue quickly stopped her: “Don’t move around! Your wounds haven’t healed—”

“Don’t come near me!” Liu Changning’s lips trembled like a desperate wild animal. Fu Chenxue knew very well that Liu Changning had just suffered the blow of broken legs and blindness. It was already a feat that she hadn’t given up on herself. To Liu Changning, she was just a stranger and definitely wouldn’t be trusted.

“I won’t touch you. You can feel your back and arms.” Fu Chenxue stood far away, making her stance clear. “I only applied medicine to you.”

The sound of dripping water echoed in the stone cave. Liu Changning took a few breaths and finally calmed down after a while.

Fu Chenxue watched her examine herself, and after a moment, tried to speak: “I truly haven’t done anything to you.”

Liu Changning confirmed that there were only traces of spiritual medicine on her body and felt a bit disoriented. She asked again, “Where is this?”

“The Jade Stone Dwelling,” Fu Chenxue quickly said. “This is a spiritual spring.”

Spiritual spring…?

Liu Changning immediately became highly alert. What was a spiritual spring used for? She had no good impression of spiritual springs. The Ghost Altar in the Demon Realm also had a spring. When her eyes could still see, she had personally witnessed the Altar Master drag a male cultivator into it…

The male cultivator then became a furnace (a person whose cultivation is used by another), and the Altar Master sucked out all his spiritual power.

This person just touched my calf. Is the next step to take me in as a furnace?

Fu Chenxue blinked, confused, unaware of what Liu Changning was thinking. She asked, “Are you in pain?”

She must be in great pain after tearing her wounds open while struggling.

Liu Changning subconsciously gripped her clothes tightly. After a long pause, she forced a calm expression: “I—I’m not in pain.”

She was afraid that if she said she was in pain, this person would take her into the spiritual spring.

Fu Chenxue furrowed her brows and slowly walked closer to Liu Changning. Liu Changning felt someone approaching and immediately retreated, speaking incoherently: “I really don’t hurt, really, I’m fine…”

“No, you can’t see, so you don’t know how much blood has seeped out again. Your wounds have torn open.” Fu Chenxue kindly tried to persuade her, wanting only to carry Liu Changning back to re-treat her injuries.

But Liu Changning didn’t understand. She was desperate and retreating rapidly: “I—I’m not ready yet. I’m only fifteen. My Master said I haven’t even reached the Foundation Establishment stage, so even if my spiritual power is absorbed, it won’t be effective!”

Fu Chenxue suddenly stopped at the mention of “Master.” She stared at the child in front of her, finding it quite amusing.

Liu Changning sensed that the person in front of her had stopped moving. Unsure what words had affected her, she continued to plead: “Truly, I haven’t reached Foundation Establishment yet. Please let me go…”
