The Journey of Immortal Cultivation-Chapter 369 - 218: Watching the Play

If there’s no benefit to her, she is never the type to repay grievances with virtue.

"Bear with it," she still had to say, "I only set your bone yesterday, and you still have unexpelled blood clots in your chest. I don’t dare to use flesh-regenerating medicine that’s too effective for fear I might have to open your chest to remove the blood clots in a couple of days. The poisonous insect venom hasn’t been completely drawn out either, still causing damage to your muscles. Your life isn’t in danger now, so hurry and get that out. If you can’t extract the insect yourself, I’ll take action."

Since she started learning from the whistle, she had gained an in-depth understanding of human anatomy. After all, where to strike a blow for a quick death and where to hit to end life painlessly were all sophisticated matters. Miluo was currently just a fox, but the principles of his muscles were fundamentally the same. Treating him wouldn’t be too difficult for her.

The ways to remove Gu are truly diverse, depending on the interests and preferences of the Gu Worm itself. To lure some Gu out of a living body can be a real bother: you might need to prepare seventy to eighty different materials. Others, however, can be particularly simple—perhaps a single action or a stick of incense is enough.

But for Miluo, the master of this Gu Worm in his heart, summoning it doesn’t require such trouble. Ning Xiaoxian saw him close his eyes, open his sharp and white fox mouth, and then a small insect shimmering green light fell out.

Wow? This little insect is cute; it looks like the common firefly seen in the summer. She carefully captured it and surveyed it for a long while.

Seeing her gesture of catching the Gu, Miluo knew this woman also had considerable research on Gu Technique, and couldn’t help but become curious. Mortal life is not easy. But looking at her, skilled in martial arts, proficient in Alchemy, and even knowledgeable in Gu Technique, where does a mortal like her find the leisure to research all these miscellaneous things? 𝗳𝐫𝚎𝗲𝚠𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝘃𝚎𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝗺

With that thought, his gaze couldn’t help but turn heavy. The Elixirs on this woman were extraordinary. He had only heard about them in reports, but now he had experienced them personally. The Spiritual Medicine she applied on himself, in just a few short two hours, had made his external injuries heal significantly, and that was under her deliberate suppression of the medicine’s potency.

Could such Spiritual Medicine really be concocted by a mortal? If not, whom does she serve, and could she possibly be the Shaking Heaven God he was searching for with all his heart?

If Ning Xiaoxian knew that the white fox lying on the couch, motionless and silent, had so many thoughts running through his mind, she would probably have strangled him right there. Too bad, she lacked Mind Reading Technique.

She returned the Gu Worm to Miluo, watching as it raised its fluffy front paws to press on the insect, and that firefly-shaped little creature disappeared, no one knows where he put it away.

Wow, this guy’s recovery power is really strong; just after a few two hours, he’s able to raise his leg?

Searching for topics to chat about, she asked, "How profound is your Dao?"

He glared at her but didn’t make a sound.

She continued, "Is your True Body really this small and cute? It seems your cultivation isn’t very deep either."

He still gave no response. This woman really judged people through a crack in the door. If his demonic power had not been exhausted and he hadn’t wanted to minimize his physical form as much as possible, why would he have transformed into this appearance?

She wasn’t annoyed either and turned to go upstairs. Hmm, she needed to find an opportunity to discuss the treaty with him.

When the sun was most radiant during the day, Ning Xiaoxian leisurely brought out the red mud stove to boil water, arranged the four-colored pastries she just bought from Qinglan Workshop yesterday, along with a huge pile of melon seeds and sweets. Her actions lacked the dignity of an Immortal and only showed the leisure and vitality of an eighteen-year-old girl.

What is she doing? Watching a play?

As Miluo pondered, her gaze happened to glance over and met his. As a result, he felt somewhat uneasy and turned his head away as if indifferent.

Actually, Ning Xiaoxian didn’t mean to tease him either. After all, his human form was that of a demon. But his fox form was just too cute, fulfilling her longtime wish to have a cute pet. She had been treating this White Fox too well, to the point that Changtian was constantly frowning, looking as if he had eaten his fill of sour grapes.

Ah, actually, her Changtian was also quite adorable, only she had never seen what Changtian’s True Body looked like. She thought...a snake couldn’t be too cute, could it?

She finished arranging the fruits, brewed a pot of fine tea, then waved her hand. The air in front of her rippled like water and slowly revealed two images. If a Maid were present, she would recognize the people and furnishings in the images as belonging to the Yuhua Hall of the Qi Mansion, where the Qi Family people usually handled household affairs.
