Transmigrated into a Pirated Novel to Teach People a Lesson (GL) - Chapter 6

Fu Chenxue was about to leave the cave to meditate and circulate her qi, but when Liu Changning held onto her arm, she paused: “You want me to go in with you?”

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

Fu Chenxue had no choice but to rub her head: “Alright.”

As she spoke, a book fell out of her sleeve with a soft thud. Liu Changning’s hearing was excellent: “What fell?”

Fu Chenxue picked it up: “A cultivation technique manual.”

This was actually something from the original owner’s Qiankun bag that Fu Chenxue had planned to try out outside the cave today. Although she could now use the jade flute, she was still unfamiliar with cultivation manuals and needed to practice diligently.

Liu Changning: “So Medical Cultivators also study cultivation techniques.”

Fu Chenxue saw five characters written on the book: Lindong Peak Cultivation Technique.

Liu Changning hadn’t possibly seen this book, had she?

Fu Chenxue felt a little awkward. She wasn’t ready to reveal her identity to Liu Changning yet. If Liu Changning asked why she wasn’t at Lindong Peak, how should she answer?

Fu Chenxue put the book away and picked her up. Liu Changning submissively draped herself over her shoulder and neck.

“I’ll go out for a trip later,” Fu Chenxue said as she entered the spiritual spring. The steaming mist enveloped the two of them.

“When will you be back?” Liu Changning still held onto Fu Chenxue’s neck even in the water. She rubbed her face against Fu Chenxue’s soft skin. “I don’t want to be alone for too long.”

“Soon, it won’t be long.”

Liu Changning acknowledged this, then fell asleep on Fu Chenxue’s shoulder.

Fu Chenxue: “…”

She stayed with Liu Changning, soaking for two hours, and then carried her out.

To be honest, since Liu Changning couldn’t see or walk, life was very inconvenient. Fu Chenxue planned to go to the market today to see if there were any craftsmen or carpenters. She intended to make a wheelchair for Liu Changning.

Liu Changning was emotionally sensitive, especially after losing her sight. Fu Chenxue was worried that carrying her around all the time would give her psychological issues.

After drawing a defensive barrier at the cave entrance, Fu Chenxue left.

She flew up the cliff, heading for a nearby small town.

In about a quarter of an hour, Fu Chenxue arrived at the market. She remembered that Liu Changning hadn’t passed the Bigu stage, and she couldn’t keep feeding her Bigu Pills, so she first bought fresh meat and rice.

The town was mostly populated by ordinary people, and Fu Chenxue didn’t want to scare them with magic, so she tucked the jade flute into her waist and searched on foot.

She happened to pass a teahouse and went inside to ask the owner, “Boss, is there a carpenter nearby?”

The owner was pouring tea. Seeing the stunningly beautiful and dust-free lady in white before him, he smiled happily: “Miss, walk straight ahead, and turn left at the intersection. However, the carpenter’s shop is quite hidden and hard to find. Would you like me to take you there?”

Fu Chenxue smiled and declined: “No need. Thank you for the information.”

She left the teahouse and continued walking. The area was very lively. To be honest, Fu Chenxue still hadn’t figured out where exactly she was or how far it was from the Yubing Sect. She would eventually have to take the Female Protagonist back.

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

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

The boss didn’t look up, wiping the sweat from his face: “Yes, I can, I can. What kind of wheelchair does the lady want? Do you have the injured person’s height and measurements?”

Fu Chenxue was about to demonstrate when a voice suddenly came from behind her: “Chenxue?”

Fu Chenxue made a puzzled expression and turned to look.

A woman was standing behind her, wearing a blue robe and holding a silver, shimmering longsword. She looked at Fu Chenxue, slightly frowning: “What are you doing here?”

The System’s voice abruptly rang out: 【Ye Luofeng, one of the Wind-Snow Dual Sages, is online.】

The Wind-Snow Dual Sages?

Fu Chenxue immediately remembered the hint. Ye Luofeng was another background character in her book. The original owner and she were known as the Wind-Snow Dual Sages, both famous for their medical skills.

However, Ye Luofeng did not belong to any sect. She was solitary in nature and rarely interacted with people.

How could she run into her here?

Fu Chenxue had no choice but to smile and greet her. However, the moment their eyes met, the Qiankun bag in Fu Chenxue’s hand slipped and dropped.

???

Wait, why does she look so familiar?!

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

This…

Why does she look so much like Liu Changning?!

Fu Chenxue involuntarily took a step back as Ye Luofeng walked closer.

No, it’s the eyes. Ye Luofeng’s eyes and Liu Changning’s eyes were practically identical.

Fu Chenxue remembered that when she first truly saw Liu Changning in the cave, she was instantly captivated by those clear eyes.

The gaze was light, but exceptionally bright and flowing, like it was filled with silver light, making it unforgettable to Fu Chenxue.

But how could they be so similar to Ye Luofeng’s right now?!

“Chenxue, why are you here?” Ye Luofeng asked again, seeing her remain unresponsive. “Weren’t you in seclusion at the Yubing Sect? How could you be…”

Fu Chenxue awkwardly said, “It’s nothing, just out for a walk. What a coincidence.”

Ye Luofeng’s voice was calm: “The place where I’m in seclusion is not far from here.”

Just as she was speaking, a disciple with a high ponytail ran in, holding several strings of candied haw berries: “Master, I’m back!”

Ye Luofeng saw that her disciple was dusty, not knowing where he had run off to play again, and gently admonished him, “Didn’t I tell you to follow your Master? Why did you walk away alone? Where are your junior brothers and sisters?”

The young disciple stuck out his tongue sheepishly: “I saw the vendor selling candied haws, so I didn’t keep up with Master. My junior brothers and sisters are still there. I’ll take Master to them in a bit…”

He turned and saw Fu Chenxue, looking surprised: “Immortal Master Fu, why are you entangled with my Master again?”

Fu Chenxue was pouring tea and nearly splashed the hot tea on herself. She looked back in horror: “…Huh?”

The young disciple scratched his head and continued talking to himself: “My Master brought us out today and can’t be entangled with you. Besides, my Master cultivates the Unfeeling Path…”

Ye Luofeng scolded him softly: “Hanyin, what nonsense are you sprouting? Don’t be rude to Immortal Master Fu.”

Fu Chenxue: “…”

Why do I feel such a bizarre sensation?

Hanyin quickly bowed and scurried away.

Fu Chenxue and Ye Luofeng were left facing each other in the shop. After a moment of awkward silence, Ye Luofeng spoke first: “About what happened before… don’t take it to heart.”

Fu Chenxue waved her hand: “It’s nothing, nothing. Kids talk nonsense. I don’t pay it any mind.”

Ye Luofeng glanced at her, seemingly hesitant to speak: “…I wasn’t talking about Hanyin. I was talking about rejecting you before, because I truly cultivate the Unfeeling Path.”

Reject… me?

Fu Chenxue was confused.

Did these two have a history? The original owner was rejected by Ye Luofeng? I never wrote that!

Fu Chenxue’s scalp tingled: “Reject? Is Immortal Master Ye talking about me?”

“Immortal Master Ye?” Ye Luofeng couldn’t help but laugh at this. “Chenxue, you’ve changed a bit after three years apart.”

“I remember you used to brew medicinal soup for me every day, mend my clothes, and call me Luofeng,” Ye Luofeng said. “Have you forgotten?”

Fu Chenxue almost got goosebumps.

Wasn’t the original owner just a background character? Why do I have a romantic subplot now that I’ve transmigrated?

Could it be that I have to flesh out the character even after transmigrating?

Thinking of this, Fu Chenxue remembered the System telling her earlier that she had to correct the plot bugs. This probably meant completing Fu Chenxue’s side storyline.

But what kind of nightmare plot is this!

Fu Chenxue quickly waved her hands and answered vaguely, “That’s all in the past. Don’t mention it.”

Ye Luofeng didn’t intend to elaborate either and asked, “How is the disciple you recently took in? I recall you disliked taking disciples. Why did you suddenly take one?”

Is she asking about Liu Changning?

Fu Chenxue went along with the conversation: “She’s alright, but my disciple’s eyes and legs have some problems…”

Ye Luofeng frowned slightly: “What happened?”

Fu Chenxue remembered that Ye Luofeng was also a Medical Cultivator, so she truthfully said, “Her eyes were poisoned, and as for her leg injury, I’m close to healing it.”

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

“I examined her. She had blood-red eyes for a while, but the external symptoms have disappeared now. However, opening her eyes causes extreme pain, and she can only see a field of crimson; she can’t see anything else.”

Ye Luofeng mused: “Crimson eyes… Could it be the Gu poison from the Demon Realm’s Ghost Altar, the Red Thread Gu?”

“Red Thread Gu, what is that?” Fu Chenxue quickly asked.

Ye Luofeng explained, “It’s an extremely bizarre poison. A disciple from the Mysterious Frost Palace went missing some time ago and was finally found, but severely injured. The Elder invited me to treat their disciple. The symptoms were similar to what you described. That disciple also had a period of blood-red eyes, and after the external symptoms faded, he became completely blind.”

Fu Chenxue quickly asked, “Was he cured?”

Ye Luofeng shook her head: “No, that disciple has not recovered to this day.”

Fu Chenxue hesitated: “Well, I’ll figure out another way.”

The System said the Female Protagonist’s eyes needed to be cured with the Soul-Infant Seven-Leaf Flower from the Shaoqing Island Secret Realm, which wouldn’t open for five years. There was no need to rush now.

“Let me see your disciple another day. Maybe I can find a solution,” Ye Luofeng said softly.

See Liu Changning?

Fu Chenxue knew Ye Luofeng was a renowned Medical Cultivator. Letting her see Liu Changning might help with the Female Protagonist’s injuries.

However… since the two looked almost exactly the same in the eyes, Fu Chenxue felt that taking Ye Luofeng to see Liu Changning would trigger a bizarre plot twist.

No way. I have to go back and ask Liu Changning carefully how the original owner took her as a disciple.

Ye Luofeng saw that there was nothing more to discuss: “You’re busy. I’ll go find my disciple first.”

Fu Chenxue nodded: “Mhm, take care.”

Before leaving the carpenter’s shop, Ye Luofeng lowered her voice again: “Oh, and Chenxue, there are some things I want to discuss with you. I’ll go to the Yubing Sect to find you sometime soon.”

Fu Chenxue looked completely bewildered.

What things? Why is it all so mysterious?

Ye Luofeng left. Fu Chenxue quickly found a secluded spot to communicate with the System.

Fu Chenxue said nervously, “System, why did Ye Luofeng say a bunch of things I don’t understand, like the Unfeeling Path and personal matters? Did the original owner really like her?”

【System: According to your outline, the character Fu Chenxue does not have any character background information.】

Fu Chenxue frowned: “But Liu Changning’s eyes and Ye Luofeng’s eyes are exactly the same. I just feel like something is strange and wrong.”

【System is brainwashing: The host’s primary mission right now is to heal the Female Protagonist. Other things do not need to be considered for the time being.】
