“Ouch!
My good lady!”
“Can’t you be a little gentler?”
“You don’t apply medicine like that.
You’re intentionally harming a patient!”
“Hmph!”
“This Young Lady is even applying medicine for you, and you’re still complaining about this and that?
Do you know how many people in the Qingxuan Sect beg This Young Lady, wanting to lick the soles of my feet but can’t?”
“And yet, you’re the one acting picky towards This Young Lady?”
“Within a hundred miles, who has better technique than me?”
“Within a hundred miles, besides you, there’s basically no one else, is there?”
“Ah!!!!!”
“Damn it, my grandmother has better technique at applying medicine than you!!!!!”
“Then call me grandmother, and I’ll be gentler.”
“Are you kidding?
There’s no way I’d agree to any of your demands.”
“Grandmother.”
…
“Alright, now there’s only the last step left.”
Lin Qingxue clapped her hands, looking at Ye Shu before her with satisfaction.
The bandages on his body had been roughly removed, revealing his torso covered in cracks, which was now smeared with a suspicious green liquid.
“What is this stuff?”
Ye Shu moved his muscles and bones unnaturally.
The liquid immediately seeped into his flesh through the cracks, making him grimace in pain again.
Could it be some kind of mysterious ancestral recipe?
Can it accelerate his recovery?
Ye Shu guessed inwardly, feeling touched on the surface.
He hadn’t expected that although this silly girl was a bit foolish, she was at least kind-hearted.
Lin Qingxue, however, looked indifferent: “Actually, it’s nothing.
It’s just some plants I picked at the Lion King’s entrance.
As the ancients said, wherever a snake bites, there must be an antidote within seven steps.”
“You damn…”
Ye Shu pointed at her, revealing an ugly smile, wanting to cry but having no tears, “Has anyone ever told you that this is pseudoscience?
And I injured myself, the Lion King didn’t injure me!”
“You are such a disaster!”
“So what?”
Lin Qingxue, though unreasonable, was still full of confidence.
She lifted her chin and said, “This lady is helping you heal your injuries, and you’re still unhappy about it?”
“Open your mouth!”
“Oh…”
Ye Shu opened his mouth subconsciously.
But then he saw Lin Qingxue reach under her skirt, then flick her finger, and a round, warm Medicinal Pill carrying the rich scent of a young girl was flicked into his throat just like that.
Gulp!
Caught off guard, Ye Shu hadn’t even had time to savor it before the Medicinal Pill was swallowed into his stomach.
A pure medicinal power instantly coursed through his limbs and bones.
“What the heck?”
Seeing the cracks on his body recover at a speed visible to the naked eye, Ye Shu was not grateful; instead, he was even angrier.
He glared at Lin Qingxue.
“If you had this treasure, why didn’t you bring it out earlier?
Did you have to make me suffer so much before giving it to me?”
“What do you know?”
Lin Qingxue rolled her eyes at him.
“That’s how it’s written in storybooks.
To heal, you have to wrap bandages, you have to apply herbal medicine, and you have to be in so much pain that you grimace.”
“Otherwise, how can it show that your injuries are serious?”
“How can it show your effort and persistence?”
“You must be reading Wuxia novels, right?” Ye Shu was so angry he almost vomited blood.
“This is a cultivation world!”
“A cultivation world!”
“I know.”
Lin Qingxue blinked innocently, “So didn’t I take out the Medicinal Pill?”
“Lin Qingxue, you…”
Ye Shu gritted his teeth, finally confirming one thing: this woman was doing it on purpose.
Afterwards, he shook his head.
“Forget it, at least it was for my own good.
Judge by actions, not intentions, right?”
“Hmph!”
Lin Qingxue, upon hearing this, crossed her arms and snorted coldly, “I’m not doing this for your own good!”
“I haven’t even settled the account for you breaking my sword.”
“I was just…”
“Just…
afraid that you, this guy, are too trashy and won’t survive, and then no one will compensate me for my sword!”
“Yes, that’s right, that’s it!”
She nodded, pretending to be relaxed, “Even if it were a dog, I would have saved it like this.”
Ye Shu: “…”
So, I’m a dog, huh?
“Awoo~”
Just at this moment, the Little Beast, which had been knocked unconscious by Ye Shu’s hand chop, finally woke up slowly.
“You’re awake?”
Seeing the Little Beast wake up, Ye Shu immediately remembered the request the Lion King had made to him yesterday.
He stood up, patted the Little Beast’s head, “Starting from today, I will teach you how to read and write.”
“Huh?”
Lin Qingxue on the side looked as if she had seen a ghost.
“You?” She pointed at Ye Shu, then at the furry, bewildered Little Beast, “Teach it to read and write?
Is there something wrong with your brain?
It’s a Demonic Beast, you know.”
“Is there a problem?”
Ye Shu said with a look of “I am for everyone”: “As the saying goes, ‘Among those one chats and laughs with, all are great scholars; among those one associates with, there are no uneducated people.'”
“Education should be for everyone regardless of their background.”
“Awoo!”
He was moved by his own words, but the Little Beast was not happy.
It shook its head frantically, just like a child who didn’t want to go to kindergarten.
Are you kidding me!
Reading and writing?
Wouldn’t that mean I can’t play happily and would be forced to do homework?
I don’t want anything like that, which has no reason for a beast!
“See?
Even the Demonic Beast questions your level!” Lin Qingxue had an expression of watching the fun without worrying about it being too big.
Anyway, as long as this Lecher was thwarted, she was happy.
Can’t beat him, can’t scold him, can’t I at least have some fun?
However, just as the Little Beast struck a pose of vowing not to comply, a huge shadow slowly walked in from outside the cave.
It was the Lion King.
“Awoo!”
Seeing its father had arrived, the Little Beast quickly ran to the Lion King’s leg, affectionately rubbed against its leg, then pointed at Ye Shu with its little claw, then pointed at itself, then its left claw barely formed a circle, its right claw raised a sharp claw, then it looked at Ye Shu, its tongue hanging from the corner of its mouth, and a truly perverted expression appeared on its furry beast face.
“What is it saying?” Ye Shu felt panicked from being looked at like that and asked Lin Qingxue, gesturing with his mouth.
“Based on my experience…”
Lin Qingxue crossed her arms, looking like she knew it all, “It’s very likely it wants to f*ck you, and then keep you here as a mountain bandit’s wife.”
Ye Shu: “…”
Is it too late to run now?
Fortunately, the Lion King did not agree to the Little Beast’s request.
He lowered his head, rubbed the Little Beast’s head, and let out a low roar from his throat.
“Woo woo!”
The Little Beast immediately shook its head, covering its ears with its two little claws, looking like it was saying “I’m not listening, I’m not listening.”
Seeing this, the Lion King was not angry.
It extended its claw and wrote and drew on the ground.
Before long, a lifelike little girl appeared on the ground, and in front of the little girl was a man holding a scroll.
The Lion King drew an arrow behind the little girl.
At the end of the arrow, it drew another little girl whose eyes were looking in different directions, with drool at the corner of her mouth.
After drawing, the Lion King pointed its claw at Lin Qingxue, emitting a strange low roar from its throat.
It didn’t sound like a threat, nor a prompt…
it was an emotion that Lin Qingxue couldn’t understand.
In short, the effect was outstanding.
The Little Beast glanced at Lin Qingxue, and its big eyes immediately revealed a look of fear.
It shook its head frantically, then nodded heavily, and its little claws patted the man holding the scroll on the ground.
“Hoo…”
The Lion King nodded with satisfaction.
So the Little Beast stood up and slowly walked towards Ye Shu, but its gaze towards Lin Qingxue was somewhat disdainful, as if looking at trash.
“Hey!
What are they messing around with?”
Lin Qingxue didn’t understand, so she nudged Ye Shu with her elbow.
“Oh, actually, it’s nothing.”
Ye Shu rubbed his chin and said seriously: “It means, if you don’t study hard, you will become like you.”
“Like me??”
Lin Qingxue pointed at herself, how could she not understand that she had been used as a negative example on the spot?
She was so angry that she instantly bristled, “What’s wrong with being like me?
Cute and smart!
Do you know how many Disciples in the Qingxuan Sect praise me as a national beauty?”
“And ‘like me’?!”
She rolled up her sleeves, looked at the Little Beast that was pointing its nostrils at her, and said bitterly: “It seems I have to teach this little guy a lesson today!”
Hearing her words, the Little Beast still held its head high.
As if saying:
You trash, do you deserve to teach me a lesson?
“Abominable!”
“If this can be tolerated, what cannot be?!”
Lin Qingxue screamed and rushed forward, wrestling with the Little Beast.
Bang!
Crack!
Slap!
“Ah!!!”
In less than three moves, Lin Qingxue walked back limping, with a bruised nose and swollen face, and a claw print left by the Little Beast on her face.
She covered her face, tears welling up, looking aggrieved.
“Ab…
abominable!
How is this guy so powerful!”
Ye Shu looked at her helplessly.
“Guess why I didn’t just ransack the cave earlier?
Do you really think your brother Ye is a model student?
It might not seem tempting right now but who knows what the future holds?
“And If you’re enjoying it, drop a Power Stone for me!”
