Transmigrated into a Pirated Novel to Teach People a Lesson (GL) - Chapter 4

Fu Chenxue pretty much understood now. She encouraged her, “Don’t worry, I will heal you.”

Liu Changning paused upon hearing this, then softly replied, “Thank you…”

She was thanking her not just for those words, but also for picking her up under the cliff, helping her treat her wounds, and staying with her by the spiritual spring for so long.

In fact, after soaking in the spiritual spring for two hours today, her calves felt a faint warmth. Now, hearing Fu Chenxue’s words, Liu Changning’s entire heart felt a tingling sensation.

She somehow wanted to see the person in front of her clearly.

So, she leaned forward towards the foot of the bed and smelled the pure, clear scent like melting snow.

Fu Chenxue sensed her looking and asked, “What is it?”

“Nothing.” Liu Changning couldn’t keep her eyes open for too long, let alone see the light, because it caused pain.

Fu Chenxue casually conjured a white silk ribbon, stood up, and handed it to her: “The sun will shine into the cave dwelling tomorrow. You shouldn’t see the light, so tie this on.”

Liu Changning took the white ribbon but didn’t know what to do with it.

Fu Chenxue sighed softly, stood up, and sat on the edge of the bed. She could feel Liu Changning’s immediate tension, but she pretended not to notice and asked, “Do you want me to help you?”

Liu Changning hesitated, then nodded slightly.

She instantly felt a soft ribbon cover her eyes. Then, those hands went around the back of her head and tied the ribbon in place.

“Is this too tight?”

“…Not tight,” Liu Changning answered, touching the white silk over her eyes.

“Your eyes are very beautiful,” Fu Chenxue praised. “They are full of spirit.”

Liu Changning felt a little embarrassed: “Really?”

Fu Chenxue thought, Kids are easy to coax. Her face turned red just from hearing praise. So, she raised her hand and pinched her cheek: “Really. Hurry up and sleep.”

Liu Changning didn’t dodge this time. The feeling of being pinched on the cheek was slightly tingly. She quickly lay back down: “Then I’m going to sleep.”

Fu Chenxue hummed and lay back down on the beast-fur blanket, chattering on, “But when I held you today, you felt so thin. Haven’t you passed the Bigu stage yet? If not, you need to eat more. People are iron, and food is steel…”

Liu Changning didn’t quite understand her words. In her drowsy state, she only felt that the hands that had just touched her were incredibly gentle.

The scent on her body was also very pleasant.

This was Liu Changning’s last thought before falling asleep.

The next day, in the morning.

Fu Chenxue spent half an hour recalling the plot she had written. The Female Protagonist was now fifteen, meaning she hadn’t reached the Foundation Establishment stage, and the timeline had just begun.

The book The Hard Path of Immortality was about the Female Protagonist fighting monsters and leveling up. Now, because it was mixed with other pirated works, the plot was a mess. Fu Chenxue could no longer view it with the original perspective.

As the System said, she had to fix the bugs little by little.

“Hmm…” The person on the bed made a sound. Fu Chenxue looked down and saw Liu Changning’s fingers twitch. She positioned herself to block the sunlight streaming in and adjusted the thin robe over Liu Changning.

Liu Changning managed to turn over with difficulty, and her first words were: “Are you here?”

“I’m here,” Fu Chenxue answered and handed over the water she had prepared earlier. “You must be thirsty. Drink some water first.”

The water temperature was just right. After Liu Changning finished drinking, Fu Chenxue reached out and wiped the corner of her mouth, saying, “Go soak in the spiritual spring first. I’ll come get you after two hours.”

Liu Changning nodded obediently.

After two nights, Fu Chenxue felt that this child was much easier to talk to without all the sharp edges. As expected of the “dear daughter” I created myself.

She carried Liu Changning in, just like last night. The spiritual spring was steaming. Fu Chenxue helped her sit steadily against the stone wall and said, “I won’t come in.”

Liu Changning was fully immersed in the water. With the white ribbon covering her eyes, she didn’t feel uncomfortable. On the contrary, without the irritating sunlight, she felt much better.

Taking advantage of this time, Fu Chenxue tidied up the cave dwelling. She remembered that Liu Changning hadn’t passed the Bigu stage yet and would definitely be hungry, so she prepared to cook.

It shouldn’t be a problem to use a spell to start a fire outside the cave and boil some thin porridge.

Fu Chenxue was getting the hang of small spells. She thought that once she fully adapted to this body, she would tell Liu Changning that she was her Master.

However, she couldn’t just boil porridge. Fu Chenxue decided to find some other ingredients outside. There was a river under the cliff that Fu Chenxue had noticed yesterday.

There should be fish in the river, but how to catch them… was the question.

Fu Chenxue walked along the path to the riverbank. She looked at the water and clearly saw her reflection.

Although the Fu Chenxue in the book was cannon fodder, her appearance was extremely beautiful. Her skin was white, surpassing snow, and her thin lips were a touch of crimson. She wore a pure white silk robe, and her ink-black hair was scattered at her waist, exuding an air of scholarly elegance.

Fu Chenxue touched her face. It seems… she looks somewhat similar to my real-world self?

The priority now was to catch food for the evening. Fu Chenxue certainly wasn’t planning to catch fish with her bare hands. She just needed to conjure a few spells to make the fish jump up. Just as she was about to act, a long jade flute suddenly appeared in her hand.

Fu Chenxue was stunned. The flute was snow-white, emitting a faint, dazzling glow.

【System: Hint, this flute is called Mu Tianhan (Twilight Sky Cold) and is the original owner’s natal magical artifact.】

Natal magical artifact?

Fu Chenxue twirled the jade flute for a moment, unsure how to operate it. After thinking for a long time, she chose the simplest method: blindly blowing it.

However, as soon as Fu Chenxue put the flute to her lips and blew, a powerful surge of spiritual energy immediately radiated outwards. Countless streaks of snow-white sword light projected from Fu Chenxue’s sides, stabbing out in all directions!

The rhythm of Fu Chenxue’s playing was sometimes fast, sometimes slow. The sword light seemed to have heard a summons. When soft, it could stir the water’s surface; when strong, it could slice through giant rocks. Before Fu Chenxue could stop, layers of spray erupted in the center of the river, and a path was forcefully cut open by the sword qi, forming a deep watery gorge!

This scene was incredibly shocking for a modern person. Fu Chenxue’s scalp tingled. She quietly put away the jade flute.

Wait, was the original owner really just a Medical Cultivator?

Fu Chenxue pondered for a moment, deciding to practice more in the future. As long as she mastered the original owner’s full skill set, she could smoothly help the Female Protagonist trounce the villains.

And then trounce herself.

The System said that most of the villains in the book were composed of elements from the pirated novel world, so striking down the villains was equivalent to striking down piracy. As for the other minor villains, they were created by Fu Chenxue or by the authors of other pirated works. In any case, when the soldiers come, meet them with generals; when the floods come, block them with earth. With the System’s prompts, Fu Chenxue wasn’t flustered.

She picked up the half-dead fish from the ground, took out her Qiankun bag from her waist, put them inside, and turned back to the cave dwelling.

Back inside, Fu Chenxue immediately sensed that something was wrong.

A low, painful gasp came from the spiritual spring in the innermost part of the cave, as if someone was enduring extreme discomfort.

Fu Chenxue’s first thought was that Liu Changning was in trouble. She walked in quickly, but the sight before her astonished her.

Liu Changning was leaning against the stone wall, her face pale, large drops of sweat rolling down her forehead. The water surface around her was even spreading layers of red.

Fu Chenxue quickly asked the System: “What is going on?”

【System: A residual poison Gu remains in the Female Protagonist’s body. The spiritual spring is clearing her meridians. The host does not need to worry.】

Clearing her meridians?

Fu Chenxue looked down. Liu Changning in the water clearly couldn’t withstand such powerful spiritual energy. She was in agony, desperately trying to escape the spring. Her fingers were tightly grasping the stone wall, her nails digging in.

It hurts, it hurts so much…

Liu Changning vaguely thought that her body felt like it was being sliced open inch by inch, and her long and short bones were shattering. This was ten thousand times more painful than the torture she endured at the Ghost Altar.

Her consciousness was fading, and her body was going limp. She was about to fall into the water when suddenly, a person jumped in and scooped her into an embrace.

Liu Changning fell into a warm embrace and heard the person’s gentle comfort: “It’s alright, it’s alright. It will be over soon.”

It was that person’s voice.

Fu Chenxue gently rubbed Liu Changning’s back, but Liu Changning was trembling all over. She gripped Fu Chenxue’s robe tightly, and the white ribbon over her eyes gradually became damp.

Fu Chenxue was afraid she might bite her lip, so she gently cupped her cheek, soothingly saying, “Just hold on a little longer. It’s okay.”

Liu Changning clung to her shoulder, and the force with which she held her became stronger and stronger.

She couldn’t see anything, but this blindness brought her immense terror, as if she had returned to the dark, sunless Demon Realm, her whole body being fiercely torn apart and tormented. Liu Changning grew increasingly frantic, desperately needing something to tell her that the present moment was real. She could only lower her head and bite fiercely into Fu Chenxue’s neck!

!!!

Fu Chenxue never deliberately protected herself with spiritual power when she was with Liu Changning. Liu Changning was at most in the early Qi Cultivation stage. If she were accidentally injured by her own spiritual power, she might be thrown several meters away.

She could only silently endure the sharp canine teeth rubbing and then deeply sinking into her neck.

Liu Changning felt pain, and Fu Chenxue also felt pain.

There was an exciting smell of fresh blood on the slender white neck. Liu Changning unconsciously licked it, which made Fu Chenxue’s body tremble. She slowly massaged Liu Changning’s head: “It’s alright, it’s alright…”

After an unknown amount of time, the pain slowly subsided. Fu Chenxue gasped for breath, opening her eyes to see that the bloody water around them had faded, and the spiritual spring had returned to its original state. The surging energy inside Liu Changning finally stabilized. She released her teeth and fell limply into Fu Chenxue’s arms.

Fu Chenxue wiped the sweat from her forehead. Ignoring the wound on her neck, she carried the person out of the spiritual spring.

She placed Liu Changning on the stone bed and tucked her messy hair behind her ear. Liu Changning was sleeping soundly. Fu Chenxue saw that her breathing was steady, finally breathed a sigh of relief, and started rummaging through her Qiankun bag.

There wasn’t much inside. She took out the fish and set it aside, then found a bottle of medicinal powder.

Her neck was throbbing; she needed to treat it. Fu Chenxue poured the medicinal powder onto her swollen skin. The bleeding stopped quickly, leaving only two distinct rows of teeth marks with a faint scent of blood.

After everything was taken care of, Fu Chenxue sat by the bed, quietly waiting for Liu Changning to wake up.
