Transmigrated into a Pirated Novel to Teach People a Lesson (GL) - Chapter 5
Liu Changning only woke up when it was dark. Her first words were directed at Fu Chenxue, her voice hoarse: “Are you there?”
Fu Chenxue heard her and immediately responded: “I am.”
Liu Changning struggled to sit up, habitually touching the white silk ribbon over her eyes: “I can’t see. Where are you?”
Fu Chenxue took one of her hands and said softly, “I’m right beside you.”
Liu Changning’s head ached intensely, but her body felt incredibly refreshed, as if her meridians had been unblocked, all the Gu poison forced out of her body, and even her Dantian energy was flowing out like a stream from a spring.
When the events in the spiritual spring came back to her mind, Liu Changning remembered what she had done. She gripped Fu Chenxue’s hand and asked nervously, “Did I… bite you?”
Fu Chenxue soothed her: “It’s nothing. The spiritual spring has already helped clear your meridians.”
Liu Changning bit her lip and reached out her hand: “Does it hurt? Let me touch you.”
Fu Chenxue looked at the child, who was shorter than her shoulder, reaching out to her and asking if she was in pain. She couldn’t help but smile faintly: “No pain. I wiped it with hemostatic powder a while ago; it’s fine now.”
Liu Changning insisted on checking, so Fu Chenxue had to lean down and let her feel her neck.
Fu Chenxue’s hair was long and soft, naturally falling onto Liu Changning’s fingers. Liu Changning smelled the pure, clear scent and said softly, “Is the wound deep? I wish I could see.”
Fu Chenxue placed her hand on Liu Changning’s hair, and Liu Changning didn’t dodge. She responded gently: “It’s fine, not serious. I made fish porridge. Come and taste it.”
Liu Changning happened to be hungry. Fu Chenxue helped her off the bed. She stepped onto the soft beast-fur blanket, curling her toes slightly with unease, and asked, “What is this?”
“A beast-fur blanket. I found it in my Qiankun bag yesterday,” Fu Chenxue said. “You’re likely to get hurt walking barefoot.”
Liu Changning’s heart softened slightly. She hummed in acknowledgment, clinging to the person’s shoulder and neck, letting her be carried and placed in front of the stone table.
“It smells so good,” Liu Changning said, already smelling the fish porridge.
Fu Chenxue filled a bowl for her and held the spoon to her lips: “Shall I feed you?”
Liu Changning shook her head, blushing: “No need. I can eat by myself.”
“Then take your time.” Fu Chenxue placed her fingers near the edge of the bowl.
Liu Changning cautiously took the first bite. The fish was incredibly fresh and melted in her mouth. The glutinous rice was thick yet not greasy, and it was sweet and fragrant. After finishing, Liu Changning put down the bowl, feeling a little embarrassed.
Fu Chenxue smiled faintly: “Would you like another bowl?”
Liu Changning’s earlobes turned red, and she nodded gently: “Yes.”
Fu Chenxue served her a second bowl. Watching her drink the porridge earnestly, she said, “I’ll help you walk later.”
Liu Changning: “?”
Fu Chenxue was still looking through her Qiankun bag and answered casually, “It’s for rehabilitation training. You’ll heal faster.”
Liu Changning hesitated for half a second: “Rehabilitation training… what is that?”
Fu Chenxue: “…”
She didn’t explain what rehabilitation training was, but Liu Changning was very obedient. After eating, she rested for a bit, then genuinely practiced walking with her inside the cave dwelling. She held onto Fu Chenxue’s arm, taking slow steps. After circling the cave several times, Fu Chenxue saw she was sweating profusely and said, “Let’s rest for a while.”
Liu Changning pursed her lips: “I’m not tired. I can walk for another quarter of an hour.”
Fu Chenxue asked, “Do you want to go outside and look?”
As soon as she said it, she remembered Liu Changning couldn’t see, and talking about sights would only upset her. She awkwardly shut her mouth. However, Liu Changning said, “Yes, I want to go out.”
Fu Chenxue immediately helped Liu Changning walk outside. Liu Changning took every step slowly. Once outside, the fresh air permeated her heart, making her feel exceptionally refreshed. Liu Changning couldn’t help but ask, “What is the scenery like under the cliff?”
Fu Chenxue draped her outer robe over her and said, “There are green vines and lush leaves here, and a small river in front.”
Liu Changning lamented, “I wish I could see.” After speaking, she tugged on Fu Chenxue’s fingers. “Carry me back.”
Fu Chenxue gently stroked her hair: “Tired?”
Liu Changning said, “A little sleepy.”
Fu Chenxue carried her back. She casually drew a few barriers outside the cave entrance to prevent small animals from accidentally running in.
The two lay down. The night was quiet. Before long, Fu Chenxue also felt sleepy. She vaguely turned over and suddenly heard Liu Changning’s voice: “Why didn’t you dodge today, or… use spiritual power to protect yourself?”
Dodge? Spiritual power protection?
Fu Chenxue mumbled, and after a moment, she remembered Liu Changning was talking about the spiritual spring incident. She soothed her, “Spiritual power protection is good, but if I bounced you away, wouldn’t that be counterproductive?”
Liu Changning was slightly stunned, feeling an indescribable sensation in her heart. She then asked, “Then, why didn’t you dodge?”
Fu Chenxue thought, This child asks so many questions, but she still explained gently, “If I had dodged you, what if you had bitten yourself in the spiritual spring?”
When Liu Changning heard this, her eyelashes trembled slightly, and a strange, soft, and sour feeling welled up in her heart again.
“Don’t think too much; go to sleep,” Fu Chenxue lay flat. “I’ll be watching you by the spiritual spring tomorrow. I won’t let anything happen to you.”
Liu Changning felt relieved upon hearing this and drifted off to sleep, quietly inching closer to the edge of the bed. For some reason, hearing Fu Chenxue say that gave her a great sense of security.
The two continued to live in the cave dwelling for over a month. Fu Chenxue and Liu Changning were already cooperating very well. Sometimes, when Liu Changning reached out her hand, Fu Chenxue knew what she wanted.
However, accidents occasionally happened. One night, Liu Changning felt Fu Chenxue was sleeping soundly and didn’t want to disturb her, so she got up to get water by herself. Unexpectedly, she accidentally fell off the bed, startling Fu Chenxue on the ground.
Fortunately, there was the beast-fur blanket, or Liu Changning would definitely have been hurt. Fu Chenxue picked her up and asked, “Why didn’t you call me?”
Liu Changning’s shoulder was sore from the fall. She muttered, “You were asleep. I was afraid of waking you up.”
Fu Chenxue said helplessly, “If you fall down like that, don’t I wake up anyway?”
Liu Changning didn’t speak, only lowering her head, seeming a bit dejected: “It’s my fault for being blind.”
“And a cripple.”
Fu Chenxue was a little angry hearing this. Blind? Cripple? Does one talk about oneself like that?
She straightened her face: “Don’t say that.”
Liu Changning was slightly taken aback. Fu Chenxue had always been very gentle with her these past few days, but this time she seemed unhappy. Since she couldn’t see Fu Chenxue’s expression, she tightened her grip on her clothes and retorted stubbornly, “But it’s true.”
“I will heal you,” Fu Chenxue said glumly, then lay back down with her back to her.
Liu Changning suddenly felt uncomfortable. She just didn’t want to wake her up, which was why she went to get water. Furthermore, wasn’t she just stating the truth? Unable to see or touch, wasn’t she a blind person?
She was getting anxious, and in her anxiety, she said the wrong thing: “It’s been more than ten days, and my legs still have no reaction. What’s the point?”
Fu Chenxue hadn’t told Liu Changning that she needed to stay in this cave dwelling for two years to heal.
Forget it, forget it. It’s normal for a child to be unable to control their temper.
She sighed, got up, sat on the edge of the bed, draped the thin robe over Liu Changning, and said gently, “Mhm, I know you didn’t want to wake me up. It’s cold at night. Go to sleep.”
Liu Changning suddenly felt wronged. She was, after all, a fifteen-year-old child. She knew she was being a little willful but didn’t know how to act. She could only purse her lips and retreat nervously into the covers.
Fu Chenxue reached out and pinched her cold calf: “I’ll rub it for you for a while. Keeping your muscles and bones active will make you heal faster.”
With that, she genuinely began to gently massage her.
Liu Changning felt even more wronged. She scooted closer to Fu Chenxue, murmuring, “You are so warm.”
Fu Chenxue found it amusing. Children are interesting. She was just sulking, and now she’s cuddling. She stroked the top of Liu Changning’s head: “If you’re really too cold, you can lean against me to sleep.”
Liu Changning gave a muffled “oh” and actually leaned against Fu Chenxue.
After finally coaxing Liu Changning to sleep, Fu Chenxue lay back down on the ground to rest.
However, in her sleep, Fu Chenxue dreamt of the most terrifying thing.
…
The cold wind was bone-chilling, and the snow was white.
A pure white longsword was plunged into the snow. She looked up at the familiar face; it was Liu Changning.
Liu Changning was wearing the Yubing Sect disciple uniform. Her light purple clothing fluttered with gentle lines from the spiritual power surrounding her. Her skin was fair, and her eyes were like glazed glass, holding fragmented light. Fu Chenxue thought feebly, The Female Protagonist’s eyes are truly beautiful.
However, beautiful eyes did not mean a gentle gaze; on the contrary, it was incredibly dark and ominous. Liu Changning held the longsword, her voice utterly indifferent: “Master, when did you turn to the demonic path?”
With that, she twisted her wrist, and the longsword stabbed directly into Fu Chenxue’s heart.
Drops of seductive, crimson blood dripped from the wound. Fu Chenxue knelt on the ground, purple-black demonic energy oozing from her lips. She tightly clutched the hem of Liu Changning’s robe, her movements gradually becoming stiff…
“!!!”
Fu Chenxue instantly woke up from the dream.
That’s a terrible way to die. Did it hurt?
Fu Chenxue clutched her clothes, still shaken.
Damn it, why did I write it so realistically back then?
In the original book, the original owner failed her tribulation and turned to demonic cultivation. Fu Chenxue was currently in the Golden Core stage, meaning that on a future day, she would fail to break through to the Nascent Soul stage, halt her path of cultivation, and then turn to the demonic path.
The Hard Path of Immortality was written from the Female Protagonist’s perspective. When Fu Chenxue created the Master character, she only wrote her as a cannon fodder villain, barely mentioning her a few times. Moreover, the current plot was very messy due to the pirated world. Fu Chenxue could only take things one step at a time.
Heal the Female Protagonist’s legs and eyes, and then let the Female Protagonist stab herself to death with a sword.
Fu Chenxue: “…”
This mission is too difficult.
The surroundings were dark and quiet. Fu Chenxue got up, tucked the quilt around Liu Changning, and lay back down. Liu Changning had grown used to having the white ribbon over her eyes these days and didn’t even take it off when sleeping. She rested her head on her arm, sleeping very peacefully.
Fu Chenxue covered her forehead.
Forget it, forget it. The more I think, the more confused I get. Just go to sleep.
The next day, it was time for the spiritual spring as usual.
Liu Changning sat on the stone bed, hesitating for a long time, before finally tugging at Fu Chenxue’s arm: “Will you come in with me?”
