Phi-Fic Chapter 28 Removing the Worms from Ling'er's Feces
Chapter 28 Removing the Worms from Ling'er's Feces
Soon the group left Sunset Cliff. Feng Ling'er and Liu Ruyan, the two sworn sisters who had just met, chatted happily, while Bai Yuxiu and Li Muyang whispered to each other behind them.
"Brother Li, I have a feeling that Pavilion Master Liu has a problem with me?" Bai Yuxiu asked with a troubled expression. "When did I offend her?"
Li Muyang suppressed a laugh and said, "Don't worry about feelings. It's not that she has a problem with you, but with your mother. Pavilion Master Liu and your mother Bai Muzhen are mortal enemies who have loved and hated each other since childhood."
"The first time you met, your mother found a fabricated reason to beat up Pavilion Master Liu. After that, the two sparred, and Pavilion Master Liu never won. In addition, your mother has a close relationship with her senior brother, well, that is, Ling'er's master, Shen Feiyan... you know! So she also doesn't like you very much."
"Huh? But my mother and Shen Feiyan are completely innocent!" Bai Yuxiu said with a puzzled look, but also with certainty, "She couldn't possibly have done anything to betray my father!"
Li Muyang's lips twitched. Although Yuxiu was clever and quick-witted, she was still a young lady from a prominent family and couldn't understand some of the subtext. However, Feng Ling'er would have understood the meaning of these suggestive words immediately. It was simply that Liu Ruyan was jealous of Bai Muzhen.
There was no need for Li Muyang to go into too much detail, as he was afraid that Liu Ruyan would hear this and it would be impolite to spread gossip about others in private.
"...You've got the wrong idea. I'm not saying your mother and Shen Feiyan have any impure relationship beyond friendship! Note that I'm saying that Pavilion Master Liu and your mother have a love-hate relationship. To be precise, they're not enemies, just close friends! It's just that Shen Feiyan doesn't want to involve Pavilion Master Liu in trouble, so she consults your mother about all the troublesome matters, which makes Pavilion Master Liu a little jealous."
"As far as I know, three years ago, your mother and Shen Feiyan went to explore the world together! After that, they both disappeared! Do you think Pavilion Master Liu would approve of your mother? Her beloved senior brother doesn't bother his junior sister when he needs help, but immediately seeks help from another married woman... Hmm, do you understand?"
Bai Yuxiu's eyes started darting around, and she scratched her head with a wry smile: "...You should understand now, right?"
"Well, it seems she didn't understand." After pondering for a moment, Li Muyang had a flash of inspiration and explained, "I've got it! I'll put it this way! If Feng Ling'er encounters trouble in the future, and the first person she thinks of isn't you for help, but rather Young Master Cui, and then the two of them disappear without a trace..."
"Understood!" A fierce glint flashed in Bai Yuxiu's eyes! She understood why Pavilion Master Liu disliked her!
Li Muyang silently wiped the cold sweat from his forehead. "Young Master Cui, I'm so sorry!"
Just kidding! Our Yuxiu doesn't have a problem with Young Master Cui. She just simply understood what Li Muyang meant. Luckily, her Ling'er wouldn't do such a thing! She would never hide anything from Bai Yuxiu!
Well, in this matter, Bai's mother was indeed not very decent.
The group walked and talked until they arrived at a small manor. There were several members of the Tianya Haige Pavilion there, all of whom were trying to curry favor with Liu Ruyan. Unfortunately, Pavilion Master Liu had someone else in her heart.
It's getting late, and it's a bit far to go back to the Cui residence, so we'll rest here.
Li Muyang stared at the group for a long time before suddenly turning to Liu Ruyan and asking, "Sect Leader Liu, where is Nan Sheng? Although Sister Nan Ying doesn't say it, I can tell she misses her daughter. You haven't told her about Sister Nan Ying yet, have you?"
Liu Ruyan rolled her eyes at Li Muyang: "How could that be? I went back specifically to tell Nan Sheng about her mother, but after learning about her mother's situation, Nan Sheng abandoned me, the head of the pavilion, and went straight to the Cui residence to find Sister Nan Ying! So she's not here!"
Upon learning why Nan Sheng wasn't there, Li Muyang shrugged and didn't say much. He had left Xiao Bai at the Cui residence as well, so he could provide support if anything happened there. He could just rest here in peace!
Having arrived at their new home, there was still one thing to take care of: the Gu poison left by the black leaf withered flower still lingered in Feng Ling'er's body. Although Liu Ruyan had helped her neutralize the poison with her internal energy, the Gu was still there and was a menace, so it was best to get rid of it as soon as possible!
If Nan Sheng, the leader of the Miao Jiang Hundred Flowers Cult, were here, it would have been quite easy to dispel the Gu poison, but the problem is that she's not here now.
That important task then fell to Li Muyang, since he was also a doctor.
Although he is a veterinarian.
"Veterinarian?!" When Feng Ling'er heard that Li Muyang was studying veterinary medicine, she was extremely unwilling. If Bai Yuxiu hadn't held her back, she probably would have run away!
"Brother Li, why don't we wait for that Sect Leader Nan Sheng... or go back and find Sister Nan Ying? Or would it be better if you didn't have to come yourself?" Feng Ling'er was still desperately trying to persuade him; she really didn't want a veterinarian to treat her!
"You don't trust me!" Li Muyang complained with a disappointed expression and a resentful look in his eyes.
Feng Ling'er smiled wryly and raised her hands in surrender: "No... Brother Li, tell me the truth, how come you're a veterinarian!"
Li Muyang stood there casually: "What? Doesn't look like it?"
A group of people nodded in unison. They looked like spoiled brats from the capital, all dressed up and acting like respectable gentlemen. They just didn't look like veterinarians at all!
Liu Ruyan was also worried that Li Muyang might cause some side effects to the treatment he had just given to his adopted sister. After thinking for a moment, she advised, "Young Master Li, why don't you just let it go? There's no rush."
Li Muyang pulled out the Shennong Ruler with a sullen expression and sighed helplessly: "Honestly, you guys don't trust me at all. Gu is just an animal, isn't it? Just call it out, right? It's not as complicated as you guys think. Do you really think I'm just a veterinarian who doesn't know anything?"
"Shennong Beast! Time to get to work!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the Shennong Ruler in Li Muyang's hand emitted a low hum, and a strange sound wave emanated. After sweeping over Feng Ling'er, she suddenly felt a foreign object in her throat and couldn't help but spit it out.
Wind chimes Σ_(???」∠) Ugh!
A tiny worm was spat out.
"See, it's out now!" Li Muyang put the Gu worm into a small glass dish, proudly shook the Shennong Ruler, and said, "What Gu worms, what poisons, are all small problems in front of my great treasure!"
"Wow! What is this?" Feng Ling'er no longer cared about questioning Li Muyang earlier, and curiously came over to touch the Shennong Ruler.
But then, the Shennong Ruler transformed into the Shennong Beast, staring at Feng Ling'er with an unfriendly expression and saying, "Girl, didn't you just doubt my abilities?"
"Wow!" This startled Feng Ling'er, who had just reached out her hand, so much so that she fell to the ground with a thud, pointing blankly at the Shennong Beast: "What is this thing? It can even transform?!"
"This is a divine beast that once followed Shennong. It has the power to cure various diseases and injuries, hence the name Shennong Beast. It can transform into the divine weapon Shennong Ruler," Li Muyang explained. The Shennong Beast proudly puffed out its chest and raised its head.
"It can be said that it is the nemesis of all kinds of poisons in the world!"
To everyone's utter bewilderment, mythical beasts suddenly appeared?
Liu Ruyan, Bai Yuxiu, and Feng Ling'er were alright, as they had at least seen Xiao Bai, the nine-tailed fairy fox. But the rest of the Tianya Haige were completely dumbfounded. Looking at the strange jade spirit in front of them, they couldn't believe that it was related to Emperor Yan Shennong.
Shennong Beast then spoke up and said, "Mu Yang's description is actually somewhat wrong. We divine beasts and our hosts share a life-and-death relationship. When the host dies, we also die, but we will be reborn. However, after being reborn, we are no longer the divine beasts of the past; we only have inherited memories."
"I was only recently awakened by Mu Yang. To be honest, I am not as good as the Shennong Beast, who followed His Majesty Shennong. But dealing with these Gu worms is still very easy."
The group from Tianya Haige seemed to be a mix of all sorts of people, but they were all chivalrous and righteous martial arts heroes. When they saw the rare Shennong Beast, they were just curious about its existence and asked it for a long time before finally releasing Li Muyang and the Shennong Beast.
Previously, Liu Ruyan had doubts about Li Muyang's claims about the immortal sect, but now that she has seen this Shennong beast that resembles the legendary Jade Qilin, she no longer has any doubts.
Because while Shennong Beast may seem like a gentle, healing divine weapon beast, it is actually a divine weapon beast after all! It is a product of combining elements from the world of divine weapons, mythology, and even fantasy!
In other words, Li Muyang was so used to being around the Shennong Beast that he didn't realize it possessed a divine beast aura. To ordinary people, the Shennong Beast exuded an aura that made them look up to it! Something they could only admire but never attain!
Secondly, Li Muyang had always been afraid of hurting the Shennong Beast, so he had never used the Shennong Ruler as a weapon. However, the Shennong Ruler after transformation is also a first-class divine weapon! Its essence is the Nine Heavens Profound Jade, a divine weapon-grade material! It has also been manipulated by the Goddess Nuwa! It possesses the most supreme divine power of creation!
Simply put... it hurts a lot when it hits someone! And it comes with all sorts of negative buffs! The more you hit, the more it hurts! The higher the damage!
This is just the most basic and unadorned use of the Shennong Ruler.
After resting for the night at the small manor, the wealthy Liu Ruyan prepared a horse for Li Muyang, Bai Yuxiu, and Feng Ling'er each early the next morning as their means of transportation back to the Cui residence.
Li Muyang stared intently at the horse in front of him. The horse leisurely sneezed at Li Muyang. Why is this human staring at it like that? To admire the beauty of this magnificent horse?
Little did he know, Li Muyang was deep in thought, wondering how to ride this thing.
Seeing Li Muyang struggling with his decision, Feng Ling'er's eyes darted around, and she came over with a mischievous grin, teasing, "Brother Li, you don't know how to ride a horse, do you?"
Li Muyang nodded calmly: "Yes, I really don't know how. I've never learned this."
Feng Ling'er hadn't expected Li Muyang to admit it so readily, and immediately felt bored. She lost all interest in teasing him and pouted, "Then do you want us to teach you how to ride?"
"Shall we give it a try?" Li Muyang gently stroked the horse's mane, gazing affectionately into the eyes of the horse.
Yes, I can tell from their eyes that they are reliable people!
